Crysis looks incredible

Since everyone else is drooling and not answering the OP's question:
I think I'll be a buzz kill.

Has anyone noticed that they are going so far out of their way to make the lighting look pretty that its actually become annoying?
I really didnt think the super-shiney HDR efffects in Lost Coast and Oblivion were cool at all. They were irritating and unpleasant to view and not terribly realistic.
Granted with those games you can turn it off, but it will probably become the standard soon and I dont like it.

Looking at Crysis pics confirms my worst fear. They made the glare on the shack so cool that its more intense than the photo. I dont like that. If they want to impress with visual quality then they should improve the quality and leave the intense crap to Hollywood.

I dont know why I said all that. Probably because I was expecting some poon last weekend and I didnt get it. And I'm still mad. :|

I agree with that. I do like some of the HDR, a nice normal looking glow is cool. But sometimes there's just way too much glare.
 
I don't like that HDR look either. It's too exagerrated and irritating to look at. But those shots still look amazingly good.

Very nice. I can't wait, though, for when they can do grass convincingly.

I agree me either, but looking at the pic of the shack, the grass still doesnt look convincingly realistic....you automatically pickup that there is some sort of pattern in design.
 
I think thats Hawaii. The Hawaii engine is the most beatiful in the world.

I have a hard time believing that is the real-time crysis engine and is probebly just a cut scene.

you can do the grass yourself - while waiting. 😛
:Q

😀

and Crysis had better run on a 9800p . . . 😉

i expect todays top cards to play it very well [or they will commit financial suicide

edit: . . . and Hawaii is [waay] Overrated. 😛
:roll:

[unless you re a surfer] 😉

dual x1900's couldn't even give it a steady 60fps.

The game's for Vista and DX10 cards.
 
From the videos I've seen I noticed two things:

1. The Sh1t looks great!!!! Can't wait to play it. 🙂

2. They are not swinging the view around much. They are generally pointing the camera in one direction then being very gentle with the swivle. That means to me the framerate is going to be a turd if you try to twitch/spin. 🙁

I fourth this sentiment. HDR is the new fad and I'm not sure I like it.

I hope it's a fad, it's so overrated and overused, the only use of hdr I liked was in lost coast.

it's ain't optimized . . . and it's mostly dx9 and will run on XP and "today's" video cards . . . unless it is delayed a couple of years.

NO ONE - except M$ - is putting out a "VistaDX10 only" game - for YEARS. 😛
