crysis..not that good :0

Post by sparksy »

ok know you will need a mega card to run it all on full and that but...on ,med setting i was looking at the trees and stuff..is it me or does it not look as cinamatic as all the demos that were on show on youtube ect. the trees look very angular up close like any bits you shoot on the trunk..very sharp and angular looking. brad thought this also we both reckon css and say lost coast look way better than crysis. it is clever to have more interactive surounding but what happened to .."all the enemys will be coming from different places ?
well the first bloke you bump into is in exactly the same place evertime. so what is gonna be so special that i will have to spend 500
quid on a new card then if css and half life actualy look better...what do you lot think.

It does look much better than CSS even on med settings, and the enemies are a lot more inteligent. I have had them coming round the rear...ooo errr to take me out.

The graphics are definately better though.

leave all settings on med but bump up the texture setting to max. Looks sweet. I agree with skel. Sparks shut up :P
Just found this on megagames, havent tried it yet, will do later.

Description
We didn't test this (yet), but here is what forum member LennyRhys said at the official Crysis forums:

"If you tweak the configuration files in \CVarGroups\ by copying and pasting the 'very high' settings (1st paragraph) IN PLACE of the 'high' settings (last paragraph) the game will load the highest possible settings even though the drop-down menus display 'high.'"

"The difference between 'high' settings and the tweaked settings is immense: shadows are deeper, more realistic; the leaves have better reflective properties, better textures; the colours are better; and the level of detail is simply stunning."

" So I'm happy. I have XP and I'm playing the game at settings higher than DX9 allows (strictly speaking)."

All replies to the topic seemed to confirm Lenny's story (while attacking Crysis and Microsoft for disabling those features for no reason but forcing Vista down the players' throats).
