Crysis Widet2: Map with High-End benchmark released

PCGH ran tests with a new user created high-end benchmark of Crysis. The Widet2 map looks impressive and even fast graphics card like the HD 5870 or the GTX 285 can - depending on the settings - run into problems with this new benchmark. There also are several screenshots that demonstrate the Widet2 map.

I like the setting, reminds me of a high tech Oblivion.

But so does this! http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Simply beautiful. And console folks get excited when a game runs at 30fps :P I guess the only thing that's bugging me is the texture on those trees..

Looks like they got a pretty beefy rig for that benchmark. A core i7 @ 3.5 Ghz with a hefty amount of RAM, might need an upgrade. I was finding a good reason to get a quad and now I have one :)

dirthurts5864d ago

I love high end benchmarks.

GamerPS3605864d ago

Dang, I am off to benchmark this puppy. 5970 here :D

champ215864d ago

let me know how the 5970 handles it. i got one onboard too :P dam beast lol

Lich1205864d ago

I have a 4870, it ran crysis well but i have a feeling this benchmark is gonna rape my face.

champ215864d ago

4870 is a good gpu it will still be way ahead of whatever consoles will be doing.

DiffusionE5864d ago

Anybody still thinking UC2 has better graphics?.......guess not.
(Yeah yeah, here comes the fanboys' disagrees.)

da305kratos5864d ago

lol yea yea j/k relax guys....probably give it a try though for kicks...

Playing it right now looks amazing! :D
so much fun, i hope they make a vr mod for crysis 2 / 3 too!

DivineHand125400d ago

This is amazing. This is the direction VR should go in to boost adoption. Since I have beaten every Crysis except 1, this is now a good excuse to correct that problem.

Crytek Wanted Crysis To Be "Future-Proof"

According to Crytek CEO Cervat Yerli, "I want[ed] to make sure Crysis does not age, that [it] is future proofed, meaning that if I played it three years from now, it should look better than today." Yerli and the team designed Crysis' highest graphical settings for the PC hardware of 2010 and beyond.

While Crytek has officially announced Crysis 4 is in development, nothing new has surfaced. For now, gamers' only way to scratch that itch is to play the Crysis Remastered Trilogy available on PC and consoles.

OG 2007 Crysis (not the remastered weirdo), is & will forever be a legend amongst the PC community.

PrinceOfAnger405d ago

This video will always be impressive to me, even for years to come. Some things here are better than games we have today, OG crysis is the best version!

RaidenBlack405d ago

OG Crysis physics, man ... amazing! Thanks for the reminder!

PrinceOfAnger404d ago (Edited 404d ago )

Looks really nice with VR mod too

FinalFantasyFanatic404d ago

I'm still shocked that it looks as good as it does today, puts some modern games to shame.

Profchaos404d ago

I thought the remaster was fine tbh some rough edges at launch but after some patches it's decent

I mean the lighting and physics still hold up extremely well. I still revisit it from time to time.

RedDeadLB404d ago

That CPU performance thing is preventing it.

isarai404d ago

Yeah unfortunately Crystek's decision to bet on the linear progression of clock speed in CPUs was derailed by the unforseen shift towards multicore CPUs. It just wasn't built with that in mind because that wasn't even in the conversation at the moment

DivineHand125404d ago

I remember when I tried to play Crysis with my Intel Pentium Dual core E2200 @2.2GHz , 4GB ram and GeForce 9400gt. I was a kid back then and that was the best I could do. I would get about 15 to 20 fps. When I over clocked the CPU to 2.8GHz I would get about 40fps. The experience wasn't good at all and it was the only PC game I could not run back then unless and put the settings on low. At that point the game went from cutting edge graphics to PS2 graphics. To this day I haven't completed the OG Crysis. I was able to complete Crysis 2 and 3 after building a new PC when I got my first job.

HyperMoused404d ago

Never played it, worth a try you think?

Profchaos404d ago (Edited 404d ago )

Worth a try just because it's the only game that lets you pick up a turtle on the beach and throw it at enemy soldiers that should have been a back of the box feature.

But nah seriously unless you're nostalgic for it I'm not sure if it will hold up

Crytek went so overboard on the Crysis tech and sent devs to photograph leaves in Haiti

"The shader work that came out of this was mind-blowing at times."

RaidenBlack417d ago

Amazing, often misunderstood
The dumb AI was deliberate, so that the players can explore and experiment with the world and all the features.

vTuro24417d ago

It really is. Most people only remember it for its graphics but the gameplay was equally amazing.

RaidenBlack417d ago

Hope they try to pour nearly same amount of dedication to the new Crysis 4

DefenderOfDoom2417d ago

Well worth the extra work ! I enjoyed all 3 Crisis games and would also love a new one .

JunonZanon417d ago (Edited 417d ago )

Still wish game development was overall this passionate and minutious about their projects. Obviously, there are still some great studios as exceptions.

LikAChicken416d ago

I’ll never forget Far Cry 2 and the amount of details they packed in.

Yea there were some issues with the gameplay loop and the sickness aspect but you could tell they really tried to nail details.

DivineHand125416d ago

I haven't beaten the first Crysis but I did play Crysis 2 and Crysis 3. I know some PC players were annoyed by the last 2 games being developed with consoles in mind but I believe it was an improvement. I had a great time with Crysis 3 to the point where I believe it was too short.
