I couldn't give 2 ***** how this pile of crap runs, im playing every other game out there bloody great.

gotta say i agree,allthough its beyond me why any devs would want to release a game thats litterally years ahead of any hardware out there :confused:

waist of £30 :mad:

i shoulda waited till the hardware was available and got crysis out of the bargain bin for 2 quid,im not even concidering the 9***series my 8800's are staying put till atleast 1st quater 2010,thats the plan anyway :rolleyes:

It sold millions, on high settings (Perfectly doable on anything short of a 24" monitor) it is easily the best looking game on the market, hence why people buy it.

[EDIT] Probably the best looking game on the market in medium settings too

OK bit of rambling from me maybe

I am not getting a new graphic card until there is one which can hit at least 60fps+ in Crysis 1600x1200 with 16x anisotropic filtering and high quality settings.

When do you think this will happen.

imo just dont buy crysis

by the time its playable there will be better games that run smooth, not like this crap.

LoadsaMoney · 31 Jan 2008 at 19:31

Its utter madness, do not play the damn thing, there is other games out there, it is not the only one, stop going on whingeathons about it when you already know it runs crap, it is no ones fault but your own if your still playing it.

There is a limit to graphic card speed and you cannot get beyond that speed. Most up to date graphic cards on the market today, in my opinion, have reached their top speed. I believe the application written for the games only support to the limit of the CPU and graphic card. The rest of the graphic cards are just eye candy nothing else and a waste of money. I have got an AGP 256MB memory on it and I am still running most of the games very nicely. I will not purchase any graphic card in the future unless the prices are really affordable (around £100).

Crysis has good graphics and bad gameplay, theres a lot of other games to play.

J.D · 31 Jan 2008 at 19:48

I've only benched it as I've heard all of the reports and I would like to see it in it's full glory.

I've got an absolute pile of games to get through that will keep me happy and occupied whilst looking and playing amazingly. Crysis is just a name now to me.

Phil2008 · 31 Jan 2008 at 19:59

Wonder what farcry 2 will run like??? What does anisotropic do filtering anyway??

Cyber-Mav · 31 Jan 2008 at 19:59

crysis gfx look amazing although it runs slow.

remeber there are games out there that look crap yet still run slow, lets not forget about rainbow 6 vegas.

games are a very subjective issue, what one bloke finds good some onther guy may find it crap.
going by every other game on the market of todays date in my honest opinion id have to say crysis looks better than all of them in the graphics department. and gameplay i find is also good too.

if you have CCC installed it shoudl show u a demo of what AF does.

J.D · 31 Jan 2008 at 20:03

If you can't be bothered doing that then it just makes things not blurry in the distance like wall textures and such. When AF isn't getting used then you will only have a short distance in front of you when the textures remain sharp and outside that they go blurry which releases performance. Being a good distance away and still seeing the textures how they are meant to makes a world of difference though.

sorry but this is a pointless thread, nobody knows what the new generation of GPU is going to be capable of or what progress crytek make in ironing out the problems with cryengine2 lack of performance, far cry improved dramatically as it was patched don't forget

Crysis didn't sell 'millions'...

Edge mags on-line page said:
Research firm NPD Group said that EA and Crytek's critically lauded FPS Crysis sold just 86,633 units last month, following its release on November 13.

A Metacritic average review score of 91 wasn’t enough to overcome the apparent apprehension regarding the game's relatively steep hardware requirements. A PC with a dual core processor, 2GB of RAM and a mid-level DX10 card runs the game at around 30 framers per second average at midrange resolution.

Now COD4... that sold millions (if you include console sales)

Remember - pc gaming is very niche compared to Xbox / PS3 / Wii figures. So unless a game is an all-out blockbuster like HL2 etc then the figures won't be that big. And everyone knew Crysis would be a system killer, and I think the demo just proved it to enought people to stop them buying it yet / ever (depending on how you balance gfx vs gameplay. Personally I didn't finish the demo - it didn't grab me)

Rebelius · 1 Feb 2008 at 02:58

it seems nuts to me - They must've spent loads making Crysis into a system killer, and the majority of people will wait until it's £5 or £10 in the bargain bins and their systems have caught up to play it. So either it's crazy or they got a LOT of money from nvidia/intel?

TheMagic1an · 1 Feb 2008 at 03:11

The game is far ahead of its time and it will take about 2 years before you can actually play the game on full detail. For me i don't see what all the obsession is about crysis, sure it has the best graphics that has been seen so far, but the fact is you can't play it maxed out on current hardware, theres no point in complaining and asking when. It will happen when it happens.

Mid 2009. Crysis is ahead of its time, look at Oblivion. Took roughly the same time to be playable on very high e.g. when the 8800 were released.

or Crysis was rushed to release and has performance issues, which it does.

Crysis will be bettered this year and probably by a game that utilizes hardware better, oh and less Dx10 marketing would be nice. roffle.

Absolutely agree, they should get themselves some better programmers.

crazy that, since crysis is so much more entertaining than COD4, strange world isn't it :rolleyes:
