sounds dodgy as hell to me.

Nymins · 19 Sep 2007 at 21:38

Absolutely not!!! Crytek would never use a torrent tracker like that one or ask for any cd key.

Cyber-Mav · 19 Sep 2007 at 21:42

heh, unreal engine 3 ain't got nothing compared to cryengine 2.

finally i can have a pc game that when console user cousins come round i can make then jelouse at how crap thier 360 or ps3 is compared to a pc.

killer_uk · 19 Sep 2007 at 21:44

But then again UE3 isn't suppost to be like CryEngine is it?

true, the UE3 is for portability so they can use it on consoles too, hence why it can never match up to cryengine 2.

killer_uk · 19 Sep 2007 at 21:49

Fair point, I guess the consoles did change its development somewhat, but the engines are very different in what they are aimed to achieve. CryEngine obviously excels at open areas and UE3 in smaller levels, which I'm sure you already know.

But yeah, that screenshot you posted is real, amazing eh?

Looks to me like someone from this forum is trying to phish your key mate, unless you've posted on another forum about it.

Cyber-Mav · 19 Sep 2007 at 21:51

im just soo happy that finally we get a proper decent game back on the pc which has awsome graphics. keep getting cheesy comments from cousins saying bla bla rainbow 6 vegas is on my xbox and its running smoother than your pc does, get a console like us for proper gaming bla bla....

crysis will shut up these fools for the entire life of thier consoles.

how the hell do you get a key without subscribing to fileplanet? do i just have to wait till it comes out?

Jono8 · 19 Sep 2007 at 22:07

Those shots are real and thats only high texture quality. God knows how good it will be with very high textures in dx10!

here is some more direct captures from me playing, again bare in mind this is only at high settings in dx9 (originally 1680x1050 res)!:

TBH the game looks great in downscaled screenshots but full size it's not so impressive at all.

However I'm sure the Demo will look a lot better.

$5.32 a month. so about £2.50. Can you just for just 1 month or do you have to subscribe for a year?

GazD · 19 Sep 2007 at 22:23

You have to do it quarterly which I did

DaveOwl · 19 Sep 2007 at 22:26

You can do it monthly if you sign up as normal THEN apply for the beta. If you sign up when applying for the beta you cannot choose monthly.

I used to sub month by month before I just gave up and started doing quarterly subs.

Darkwave · 19 Sep 2007 at 22:28

I got an annual Fileplanet account because I used it a lot just registered and it was cheap.

That's when I found out I could get things like demos and betas before release and it's even more worth it.
