Holy Crap!

Are rock graphics the new craze?

"Dude this game I just played has some jaw-dropping rock graphics! YOU GOTTA SEE THESE ROCKS!"

I misread the headline and was totally expecting Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin. . .

 

[clamum]

Nice; I should re-play Crysis. Damn fun and gorgeous lookin game.

 

[Borealis7]

the tank looks better than the rocks, still not very realistic.
then again, we used to think Oblivion was the best it could get back in 2006 in terms of environment.

the nVidia 8 series "solved" the Oblivion performance problem. at that time it was THE benchmark for hardware. i wonder what will do that to Crysis.

would it be nVidia's Fermi? ATI's next gen 6 series? only time will tell.

2 ati 4850s in crossfire solve the problem. i'm sure some of the newer cards in single config work just as well.

I ran crysis at max settings at 1680x1050 on my system and i was getting like 80 FPS or more.

"Whilst strolling through the jungle the beautiful looking tank was gazing at the amazing scenery around it. The bushes, the trees the rocks....

... then it spots the awful decking to it's right."

If you're going to post a spectacle piece screenshot, please make sure everything in the screenshot looks good.

SS from vanilla crysis? no mods?

 

[TheVrolok]

Yep, Crysis is pretty.

This is something I've always wondered, is it really the engine or the artist/modeler who made the rock?

 

[zagood]

YOU GOTTA SEE THESE ROCKS!"

I basically forwarded this to a friend and said the same thing.

 

[Modelworks]

nice but not perfect.
Ambient occlusion missing, specular lighting applied incorrectly, diffuse out of balance, caustics all but missing, GI inaccurate.

Game engines use a lot of tricks and unfortunately that leads to a lot of errors in the final output.

lol.. and to think we used to play games like this:

I still play games like that. That game is better than most games today that have "pretty rock graphics".

Having a closeup of the trees in the foreground really shows how fake they look. Their profile is perfectly smooth without any real texture. The stuff at a distant does look pretty good.

 

[StinkyPinky]

I think it's a rock.

What's the gameplay like?

 

[ussfletcher]

Nice rocks, but that water needs some help!

 

[DannyLove]

seriously? Still not realistic enough? give me a break.

Damn straight, the aliasing on wood is terrible!

No, trolling in cyberspace is the new craze.

Buy Crysis, then you'll know.

 

[PieIsAwesome]

Almost, but not quite there. Using textures to simulate volume is fine until you get too close.
