the differences are very noticable esp in the below rollover http://www.incrysis.com/for...

it looks like "Very High" is restricted to DX10. Also almost the all the DX10 "extras" are kind of doable in DX9 but DX10 does it much more efficiently. That has been one of the main selling points of DX10.

Umbrella Corp6790d ago

if only DX10 ran on XP "sigh"

ShiftyLookingCow6790d ago

MS says DX10 only works with Vista driver model but who knows its probably just more marketing BS. I just hope Crytek as promised makes Vista performance on par with XP when the game releases.

Kleptic6790d ago

Crytek even said that DX10, as well as Epic, is possible on XP...MS, like you mentioned 1.2, just won't do it because then there is absolutely no reason to buy Vista...oh except for 3d flip...

it is annoying...but Crytek has used DX10 to the point where other developers are going to be taken to the cleaners when they don't deliver...only other game to possibly contend with Crysis visually is UT3, a game in which Rein said...from a technical standpoint...isn't as impressive as Crysis...and DX10 differences in UT3 are much less apparent...

that first pic with the water in DX10 is probably the most impressive video game screenshot of any type that I have ever seen in my life...I am curious to see how much of this engine could be done on consoles...Its already obvious that 360/PS3s could do much better than the lowest settings of the game (no light source/shadowing at all?)...but the amount of stuff going on with DX10 is absolutely mind blowing...congrats to anyone owning a rig that can run this beast...

yeah dx10 looks way better, look at 5 and 6, the trees on the hills in the back. amazing difference

Shankle6790d ago

It's a bit better, but i highly doubt I'd notice much difference at all in game.

ShiftyLookingCow6790d ago (Edited 6790d ago )

here is some more
[edit] its not that clear here, but in the orignal screenshot(check alt sources), what I think is parallax mapping is easily noticeable.

Umbrella Corp6790d ago

Thats what some said about the graphic comparison of a late PS1 title and a early PS2 title.Give it time it'll amaze you.

Quickstrike6790d ago

THE SAME Direct 10X is just a waste

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

DivineHand125473d 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.

PrinceOfAnger478d 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!

RaidenBlack478d ago

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

PrinceOfAnger477d ago (Edited 477d ago )

Looks really nice with VR mod too

FinalFantasyFanatic477d ago

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

Profchaos476d 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.

RedDeadLB477d ago

That CPU performance thing is preventing it.

isarai476d 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

DivineHand125477d 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.

HyperMoused477d ago

Never played it, worth a try you think?

Profchaos476d ago (Edited 476d 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."

RaidenBlack490d ago

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

vTuro24489d ago

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

RaidenBlack490d ago

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

DefenderOfDoom2490d ago

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

JunonZanon490d ago (Edited 490d ago )

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

LikAChicken489d 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.

DivineHand125489d 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.
