Next Crysis actually to be playable;)

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.


I keep reading this bs about it being built for future hardware, that's some really great PR work....

FarCry had this same problem. When it came out, it was pretty much unplayable on anything except the most expensive cards. It look me 4 generations of cards before I was able to play it on ultra high at 1680x1050 with 8AA/16AF. Granted I skipped the Gen 7 Nvidia cards, so they may have been able to do it.

Lawl... All you noobs and your little desktop PCs, rofl. I use my IBM supercomputer, has over 20,000 processors. I play crysis at Uber Ultra Amazing settings 2560x1600 60FPS+ all the time, rawfle!1111!

Good point. I think all developers will use that as an excuse for bad optimization now. Seriously, what's the point of releasing a game that no one can run at good-looking settings (and Crysis doesn't look special at all with Shaders below High, by the way).

I was just reading the PCGamer review of the next nvidia card, runs Crysis at 2600*1600 with high options at 15FPS. Should run it at 1920*1200 pretty damn smooth then.

do you mean graphics-wise or content/fun-wise?

I was able to run Far Cry at good speeds on the highest settings (no AA) with my 6800 GS.

I don't understand people who bitch about Crysis' gameplay. It's as good as any other FPS out there, IMO. Sure, Koreans can take a lot of bullets, but you still have the ability to attack from any angle you want and with any means you want. A game that lets me choose whether to jump over a wall and punch everyone inside or use them as human shields while I massacre them is cool in my book.

When it came out, I had a Ti4200 still: totally unplayabe. When I got a 6800GT, I played it with 2AA and it ran decent, but notice I said 8xAA/16AF/ultra high. Granted my FPS when I played it on those settings was like 150fps, so if I had jumped on the 7 series, it wouldn't have been such a gap. I just can't play a game without at least 2xAA anymore, and Crysis still runs like crap on my system with it set like that. As has been mentioned, unless your playing at high or ultra high, the graphics aren't any better than most games out today.

I was running a 6800 when I got far cry. Outdoors there wasn't really any noticeable problem once I turned the settings down a bit. In doors though she would start to chug along, so bad at some points like some cave network I remember that I would have to bump the resolution down a notch or 2. Should go back and play it again, probably flys with a 8800 gt.
