Yes the file names both say Dx10 that’s so you cannot guess easy.

My guess is the darker one is DX10 as it looks more realistic to me.

: Just been told the screen shots are wrong on the press CD real pics here

Deffinitely the top one, the light seems to fade better.

difference is negligible imho obviously seeing the game in action may display a more exaggerated difference but until then I'll reserve judgment on DX10.

Top one, shadows and textures are more detailed.

I know I'm going to offend but.. those graphics are appaulling.

However it just goes to show that as we get closer to more believable graphics, the power to render then goes up exponentially..

“I know I'm going to offend but.. those graphics are appaulling.”
I find one of the problems with many new games are screenshots do not do them justice. The light and shadows vastly effect how games look in motion and that does not come across well screenshots.

Look at NWN 2 screenshots it often looks like a game from 2 to 3 year ago but if you play it with max light and shadows it looks stunning and really looks like a next gen game. Assuming you can get it running at a decent speed.

Interesting choice of word... appalling...

Strike with disgust or revulsion
- shock, offend, scandalize, scandalise [Brit], appall [US], outrage

Fill with apprehension or alarm;- dismay, alarm, appall [US], horrify

Take a look at the individual pieces of foliage and the intricate shadow mapping accross that scene... as well as the lighting and detail textures littering the forest. Are you telling me those graphics fit that description?

Perhaps he is a nature lover and finds the tank and troops destroying the jungle appalling

 

[MadMatty]

well the screenshots do like kinda ...basic when sat next to Ut2007 screenshots.

the soldier has no detail at all and looks abit low res to me :/

Latest Crysis video released, HD 720p about 5 mins long all shown on 8800 at the recent launch.

All i can say is graphics have come a long long way since the days of doom.

Yellow tint is a big placebo?

What are we comparing here? Two tiny tiny pics or two pics that are from different sources with different aspect ratios?

The full size pictures are on the main site. Probably doesnt allow hotlinking. Halfway down the page.

Looks near enough the same just with a different tint in colour. Not impressed at all.

 

[z0mbi3]

Not impressed at all.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[MoNkEyMiKeY]

I think these are better comparison pictures.





Not for DX10 but for fake and real life.

 

[rippling]

ignore the screenshot and watch the video instead, does it far more justice imho.

second pc seems to have bad aspect ratio. the guy looks stretched. have to see this game running to see the difference.

Those Crysis screenshots are pretty impressive. Imagine where we'll be in 10 years time!! Bring on the holodecks!!

That top pic in the comparison shots (real vs fake), the one of the sea and mountains, looks a bit fake to me. Atleast the mountains do. They have a sligh 'rendered' quality to them.

Alan Wake is another game that is really supposed to push DX10. It's a Vista only game I heard. Some vids out here - http://www.alanwake.com/movies.html - looks pretty darn good.
