Crysis Single Player Demo Feedback Thread

r_DepthOfField = 2 (adds a blur to the moutains in the background)
Thats not what i meant agentkay! I mean the texture resolution looks alot better on the mountains in 64 bits mode...

Look:

Now how the hell can we get that into 32bit aswell?

[einstein_314]

And that my friend was with all high settings, 4xaa and 64bit mode, no **** :D

Unfortunately I can't figure out how to enable HDR mode :(

I've tried some console commands but the damn text just ends up on the screen with something like "Jack Carver1: [command here]".. I even tried to start the game up with adding "-DEVMODE" to the shortcut, but with no effect.. Too bad I'd really like to push Far Cry since I'm getting a constant of 150-200 FPS :lol:


What do you think looks best and what hits performance the most?
There's no way those are all high settings.......more like all low settings. Far Cry looks WAY better than that.

EDIT: Lol, Ok so I just fired up Far Cry for the heck of it. And OMG!! After playing Crysis, it looks like pure crap. Like no joke. I just ran it at everything maxed out, 16x AA, TMAA, 16xAF. Runs at about 90 fps and looks pretty much like Gaco's screenshots......wow, we really are spoiled with crysis.

I recommend everyone doing this. Fire up far cry and you'll be AMAZED at how much better crysis is. OMG!!

I was thinking the same thing, looks like FarCry with low settings.

[methimpikehoses]

There's hope for folks with aging gfx cards like me. Very surprised this is playable at these fps.

Mate, that is a bug with 32bit, that most of the time it doesn't load those distant textures. But last two times I played 32bit, it did render it exactly the same as the 64bit. :)

While its true that there is a bug I have to disagree with the way the distant mountains look in 32bit vs 64bit. I took a few comparison screens with the mountain textures properly loaded under 32bit vista and 64bit. The 64 bit does indeed have more detailed distant mountain textures.

This is exactly the same way that it was with far cry.

LOL bull! those shots look like utter and complete crap. I still have farcry on my PC and it doesnt look anywhere near that crappy.

Yes of course Crysis kills it but still, your pics are screwed up. LOL.

[GitDat]

So when is the updated/patched demo going to be released?

Did not realize there was going to be one?

[zer0]

fraps is not working :( and there is a wierd cracking sound when i start up the game, the part wer the videos of intel and nvidia.

[zer0]

Wow, Farcry looks like crap now...

set the color reproduction to "cold" in the settings ;)

[SH0DAN]

It is,Fracry looks a lot better maxxed with HDR tweaked and everything set up as high as it can go. :)

The pach for Far Cry 64 work in 32bits with hack , is a pure marketing feature . Do you no need 64 bits for employ a bit more of Vram and Ram for the textures in Far Cry . In Vista... well is interesting for use 4 gigas

Well thats true but until there is a patch for crysis vista 64 will still have the upper hand in visuals.

[Gaco]

I think you guys were right regarding the Far Cry pics, they were definently not at max settings now having started the game again. I dunno maybe the game had to restart before changed were made or something. But IMO most scenes are still not as impressive as I remembered them, especially the outdoor ones :D

So HERE is some real screens of far cry maxed (except for HDR which I can't figure out how to enable unfortunately):

^^Lol look at what was a pretty jungle back then. We are indeed spoiled with Crysis now :D

Anyway where the hell is the gore that was so realistic and cool in Far Cry!? :confused:

I mean bullet holes in bodies, bleeding out in there water (they don't even do that right? Or.. not completely sure) :(

[Noodles]

anyone beat it on hardest difficulty setting yet? i tried once... got prety far... but after i kill the guys on the beach amongst all the rocks, and kill the 2 hummer gunners and drivers.. i dont know what to do...

i cant kill the boaters.. too far to pick off.. and too risky to let them call for back up.. when i get in the hummer the boat opens fire.. and calls for backup... i try walking but its so damn far... i get to a lil campout.. kill them...nmaybe 3 guys... and than i get annihilated by a huge base..

when with baot i can bypass all that but they dont want these guys calling for backup

suggestions?

If you really want to go after the boat guys, then wipe out the rest of the people and go back to finish them off. I've completed Delta mode without dealing with the boats - too much bother.

The way I do it is just juggling my cloak and using prone mode in the grass a lot. I don't run and gun.

I also keep one rifle set to the tranquilizer dart (silenced) and the other one set to single shot and silenced (aim for headshots) . I alternate between both to make sure I don't get caught making too much noise.

Use your binoculars to scan the terrain and to plan ahead; even in Delta mode the enemies are pretty much where you expect them, but the boats seem more aggressive.

Oh yeah, don't forget that strength mode + rifle makes it more accurate at longer distances.

Yeah, what was the excuse for the lack of gore?

Yeah I was wondering about that the other day when I was playing. They definately don't bleed into the water in crysis like they did in far cry. And defiantely no bullet holes. It's a lot less gory.

[agentkay]

What do you think looks best and what hits performance the most?

r_DepthOfField = 2 (that one looks best IMO, but I didn't measure performance hit, but it seemed almost even)

Thats not what i meant agentkay! I mean the texture resolution looks alot better on the mountains in 64 bits mode...

Now how the hell can we get that into 32bit aswell?

Sorry for the misunderstanding but no I didn't figure this one out yet and I tried to mess around with DoF, and the detail cvars but didn't find it yet. There was a cvar which disabled texture LOD and that might fix it but I don't remember it right now. :banghead:

[Mr_LoL]

Lack of gore is to do with German laws apparently. Hopefully someone can make a patch in the future.

[MowTin]

Seeing Far Cry again reminds me of those damned Trigens.

I hope there aren't any giant aliens with rocket launcher for arms :barf:
