nVidia and ATi need to break the stupid fucking 'let's pack more GPU's onto the same board / SLI/CROSSFIRE to get awesome' shit and develop a new generation of cards.
I'm a little confused with what you're saying, by current do you mean 8800GTX/HD38x0 era, or GTX2x0/HD48x0? I wouldn't expect things to change as processing in general moves to more being more parallel.
I'm bothered by that article, mostly the end. They say they could improve the original Crysis, but they're focused on this second game. If it sells for $50 they are going to have quite a bit of angry people, and thus we'll likely see Crytek complain about poor sales and blame piracy for it again.
It's good to see them working to improve their game engine, and it sounds like they're doing a good job of making it more efficient and better looking. I just hope they don't try to stick people with another game that doesn't sound like it will be a sequel for full price.
Well, the new (48xx / 2xx) era is basically giant previous era cores. Crysis basically needs a new GPU architecture. The new Crysis update is NOT a new game, nor an expansion. It is an update. A patch that should have been free. There will be a ton of piracy, and Crytek will be fucking stupid bitches (excuse my language, but I believe it applies) about it again. Crysis sold over a million copies, yet they complained and said piracy killed the game. Last I checked one million units sold was a pretty great achievement.
There won't be a 1.3 patch for Crysis why? Because Crytek (COUGH EA FUCKING CUNTS COUGH) will be including those updates in a new PAID "update" to the game.
Crytek sold out to Micro$hit with Crysis, disabling a bunch of features for XP, claiming that you needed Vista to use the features. A simple text file edit enabled the features in XP. Needs Vista my fucking ass. Fuck you, Crytek, and your sellout ways. The Crysis engine was neutered hardcore for Crysis. Look at the many promo vids compared with the released product. There are many config tweaks out there that enable (most) of the full engine. Crytek is nothing more than a sellout, piece of shit company, and their games deserve to not be bought based on this. They flat-out lied to us, telling us that the 'very high' game settings REQUIRED Vista to use, when a simple edit of a text file enabled them in XP.
I bought Crysis at launch. I fully plan on not buying whatever shit they release next, since it will be nothing more than patches an updates that should have been free. My true feelings and intentions cannot be written here, for I will be banned for telling the truth. Such is the world today.
Bottom line: why is there no 1.3 for Crysis? Because they want you to pay for it. Because paying for patches and updates is the future of PC gaming. Look at the 1.6 patch for CoD4.
PC gaming is becoming fucking ridiculous. Piracy is running rampant because PUBLISHERS (not developers) are pushing for profit profit profit profit. Plain and simple.
Updates that would have been free in the past now cost money. Welcome to the new world of PC gaming.

I had allow the system to set recommended settings, which were all High and even then, I turned the shaders to Medium and now it's very fluid and playable.
Great game (beat it before) but the coding or whatever is pretty bad.
The Crysis engine is built for future hardware. All you idiots (not you, just in general
) complaining about it running slow need to realize that Crysis will NEVER run well on current hardware.
