Some Crysis Beta screens for you

KNiVES · 3 Oct 2007 at 23:44

Resized from 1680x1050, running on High settings. Not bad at all. NDA be damned, maybe they're mine.... maybe they're not. You can't prove nuthin', guvnor!

Some reminders;

- The beta only runs off one core and does not take advantage of multi-core processors.
- The beta only runs on Direct X 9.
- The beta has Very High and Ultra High disabled.
- Features such as parallax occlusion mapping and reflective/refractive water with sunshafts are disabled unless activated via config tweaks.
- Antialiasing is disabled.

looking good on high!

Yes, it's a very beautiful game. I remember the panic when the first beta screens came up, and some silly boy posted low resolution and low setting shots - not quite the best impression to give of the public's first taste of Crysis.

inside isnt that impressive. reminds me of fear (which wasnt bad by any means) but the outside is nice. i have a few really good screens, but id rather not get pwnt by EA

I thought the inside looked as good as you can do. It's hard to make plain facility walls look good.

What gpus is this on and may i ask the frames

true. the lighting is good inside i think (all over the game its good anyway) would just prefer maybe more detail if it could be done without making it look over the top

blimey, not impressed easy are you, it's graphically excellent, even on lowish settings (and that the MP side (single player is usually better R6:V anyone?)) it's gameplay is intuative, sound is ace i could go on all night

LabR@t · 3 Oct 2007 at 23:52

looks like that on my x1800 , but 2-9 fps !

Will this be playable on a X1900XT Crossfire, 4400X2?

yup

probably not as well as in above pics, but should run as good as my rig (if a little worse (CPU wise) which plays 1680x1050 all medium setting and it's not a great difference, in the big crysis thread there is comparisions of high and low settings, and i have to say even on low it really does look good

More than likely, depending on settings and resolution

First of all it's an unoptimized beta missing so much that will be in the final build, and also it looks better running watching all the trees sway and the explosions.

VaderDSL · 3 Oct 2007 at 23:57

Thing is tbh it looks ok, not absolutely jaw dropping, however the scope for tactics int he mp gameplay are astounding, you have absolutely shed loads of cover!!! I was not overwhelmed with gfx, I was absolutely amazed at gameplay, I played Planetside for a long time, and this is the first game to blow me away since!

I just love MP play, it is very tactical, very sneaky and takes a while to be good at it.

Matmulder · 4 Oct 2007 at 00:13

Runs like carp on mine - Q6600, 8800GTS @ 1680x1050. Most settings on medium.

Obviously some optimisation to be done, and it is beta. I was impressed with the scale of the game though, like FarCry, only prettier.

Although, despite my ping being <30, lag is terrible, majority of people are teleporting.

Magnum_Force · 4 Oct 2007 at 00:33

lol, I played it last night, got to a nice spot and pulled out my AK74 with assault scope and put maximum strength on. Single shot mode, I took out about 8 players, even a guy who was trying to pwn me with a rocket launcher

.

Oh how I wish I had a silencer.....

Bengaboy · 4 Oct 2007 at 00:49

Graphics look good, but not exactly mind blowing.

Hopefully the full game will be though!

Margaret · 4 Oct 2007 at 00:51

I thought it looked pretty naff myself, single player demo should be better though.

silversurfer · 4 Oct 2007 at 01:13

Iam not a fan of the foilage for some reason, overall it looks good and I like the water. Nothing stunning though

I think the original farcry compares well to it still or maybe I just prefer the colouring
