Crysis demo out

[Pericolos0]

The gameplay is really fun . Too bad I have to put the game on low graphics to have an acceptable framerate. And the game looks atrocious on that , The artwork on this game could have been so much better, most stuff looks pretty awful once you take away the post processing and realtime ambient occlusion.

Also for some reason the very high settings hack runs better than default high settings.

I agree, when I turned it down to be able to run acceptably, it didn't look too interesting. I also found it odd how the sun moves, it stays dark until you pass a trigger point, then the sun shoots up to a certain part of the sky in no time at all and then sits there for the rest of the time.

The suit is interesting though, I just wish the clock stayed on a bit longer, and perhaps instead of dropping to zero energy when you shoot, it could just make it not selectable for a while, or maybe just not as effective. I'd imagine the technology would work whether or not you are firing a gun, they enemies would just be able to see and hear the gun firing.

My pc didn't performed well with crysis, it looked awful and lagged like it was multiplayer on singleplayer.

get the geFORCE GGGG 8800

[Sentura]

with catalyst drivers. those are clearly the best

[Sa74n]

Has anyone actually been able to run this at full beside delaz?

[Zyn]

I can run it at maximum settings but then of course perfomance takes a massive kick to the nuts.

[Psyshokiller]

Been able to run it with everything on high in 1680x1050 2xAA. Frames have been at 25-40, althought it didn't feel like runnig slow at any time.

it's not going to run great at all for me but im definatly going to check out the editor since its insane.

[FrieChamp]

It's so funny that everybody is getting excited about the editor now, since most features have been there since FarCry. Oh well better late than never, knock yourself out guys

I can run it on 'Very High' across the board at a more common resolution such as 1280x1024, but if I try to do it in my native 1920x1920 I get smacked down to about 15 fps which is just that bit too sluggish for me to enjoy.

So I run it with everything on 'Very High' except post processing, shadows, and textures (I think), which I put down to 'High'. That gets me a pretty consistent 25+ fps on 1920x1200, but doesn't seem to make much of a visual difference at all.

This monitor is such a double-edged sword. While I love the extra I get for non-gaming stuff, it consistently bums me in the gob with cutting-edge games.

Bring on the next NVIDIA card. Better not be another year away.

Spoiler:

I put more about it on my blog.

My pc auto detected to everything low so i played that from the first half of the demo. I then put everything on mid and it looked and ran fine. I have to say the gameplay didnt really inspire me too much and i found doing cool things like chucking an explosive drum into the back of the pickup too fiddly to accomplish. The ai seemed fine on medium. Cut scenes arent really my deal but they were well animated and the voice acting was pretty good, except for the 'english' guy.

I'll give it a run through fully on medium and on hard mode, as well as checking out the editor, tomorrow.

default result of generating texture

I just finished playing it on high settings and it's the most beautiful game ive ever seen. Fighting with the troops was also infinitly more fun on the harder dificulty mode.

Has anyone actually been able to run this at full beside delaz?

I installed it on a friends' PC and ran it at full without much of a problem. Low framerates usually happened at one of the bigger enemy sites, especially when a building was exploding. Otherwise it ran and LOOKED great.
