All the Far Cry and Crysis posts here

[Harvik780]

hey guys, i just listened to a interview of Caveat Yerli and guess what he said...
You can view the video HERE (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/25035.html)
Specifically these words:

Holy shiiiit :o :o :o

Also he mentioned:

So this means that there is no current gen hardware available which can run CRYSIS to its full potential. :D
Wish I had a Quadroplex.

Note: "Core" is quite far into the game so, it's up to you if you want to spoil a critical part of the game by checking these out :)

CRYSIS 'CORE' level Hands-On

"Core" is the level that appears midway through the game that shows off the alien environment and zero gravity combat.

Crysis Demo delayed - October 26 (http://www.incrysis.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=487&Itemid=2) :mad::mad:

[Stalker]

Expected!!:x
Demo coming out 2 months before the game's release.........too good to be true
now maybe the final release date(Nov) may be delayed as well!!:(

Whats good is that they are releasing Sandbox Editor along with the Crysis demo.....so we should be able to make our own levels for the demo :)

DX9 vs. DX10 Comparison Screenshots (http://www.incrysis.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=511)

[Sunny1211993]

not much diff btw DX9 and DX10.
though motion blur looked better in DX10.

[ambar.hitman]

About Far Cry,can u recommend some good mods,about max 100 mb size.And i find only Far Cry and FEAR fps having challenging AI

[Third Eye]

1.5 days left for the demo.

Those who have pre-ordered Crysis will get access to demo 24 hours early.

[rockthegod]

The Demo has been released..... did anyone get the 1.8 GB demo download ?? :o I can download it but the fact is that I do not have any decent machine to play the game on and I dont wanna ruin my game experience. :)

People are telling that the demo completion time is nearly 1 hr .. which is by far quite longer than normal demo standards... the graphical effects are dazzling .... dx10 is extremely beautiful though its crippling the machines with 8800 GTS 320 MB at 1280x1024 ... though the game runs uber smooth in dx 9 settings kept at high.... :)

Come on guys.... I am starving for a detailed set of demo screenshots at uber high directx10 quality.... :)

[ionicsachin]

Hows the demo friends.....

discuss all the demo here people...
did u see the DX 9 and DX 10 comparison

[ambar.hitman]

PC beats any console anytime. Also,the FarCry instincts was a graphically scaled down version of FarCry(with different story ofcourse) for Xbox.Same was with Painkiller :Hellwars and Serious Sam:The next Encounter which were exclusive console titles. Also,if compared,games like Assasins Creed will look a lot better on PC as compared to Xbox 360,provided PC has appropriate hardware. Dx10 has kicked next gen console's arse.

[ionicsachin]

lly my download got finished....the game is really rocking....i dint expect that the pre - release will be so good...its really rocking and reminds me of an improved far cry

CRYSIS REVIEWED AND RATED 9.5/10 by GAMESPOT !!!!!!!!! :) :)

Crysis is visually stunning, packed with intelligent, thrilling gameplay, and easily one of the greatest shooters ever made.

READ MORE HERE (http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/crysis/review.html?sid=6182739&tag=topslot;title;1&om_act=convert&om_clk=topslot)

As expected....THIS GAME ROCKS IN ALL ASPECTS !!!!! :) I am going to get my new kick-a$$ gaming rig within a week and have already pre-ordered this game !!! :) Just can't wait now !!!!

JUST READ THIS PART:::::::::::::

Crysis really does embody everything that's both exciting and daunting about PC gaming. A dual-core CPU and the latest generation of video card can run the game at maximum detail settings capably, though you have to lower the resolution a bit to do so. It's doubtful that a system has been built yet that can run the game at ultra-high resolutions with all the graphical sliders maxed out.
This is the first time a game is waiting for a worthwhile playable system to actually come out.... :D

[upendra_gp]

The wait is over friends the game is now officially available! :-) btw does anybody know if it will be avaible for the PS3 too?

[Third Eye]

Crysis - PC only

[dOm1naTOr]

Crysis worked on ATI X1250 onboard Gfx of M2A VM. I played on 800*600 low and physics set to high.
No lags. The lighting seems better than on 7600Gt set everything to med nd physics to max.
The light of torchlight on rifle is more realistic on X1250 with Sm 2.0 than on SM3.0 7600GT!!!

It seems crysis has better image quality on ATI cards. And for my 7600Gt, crysis works smoother with forceware 84.xx[yup, dat old one] than the new betas and quality is same or even can be called better!!!

[bikdel]

@ aravind_n20

great info...

yeah even i think Ati is better supported.. considering the fact that
Nvidia 6800 GT 256 MB GDDR3 being Faaaaaaaaarr better than Ati 9800 Pro, yet both cards are on the minimum requirements...

i think crytek wants to sabotage nvidia :)) lolz...

Settings on High in XP with God Rays ON and Volumetric Effects and Particles set to medium.Getting FPS around 20-30 AVG.

[assasin]

^^^ does Crysis perform better under Vista or under xp?

[DiCsA]

^^^ does Crysis perform better under Vista or under xp?

On Xp. But if you have a good computer the difference is not huge. Plus by default the High Settings are only for Vista but you can tweak the game for have it under Xp.

London, Recreated In Crysis

Digital Urban, a project overseen by Dr Andrew Hudson-Smith from University College London, is trying to recreate the city of London. Using Crysis' mod tools. First they're using some Google apps (SketchUp, Google Earth), then with the data they can pinch from that, they're going to slowly but surely recreate the whole city.

Well there's also a Jurassic Park Mod coming up.

[dOm1naTOr]

hail Crysis:p

[ancientrites]

enjoying crysis,still i am not personally satisfied even after upgrading my system.it gives me some tearing in some stage.

[quan chi]

does anybody here knows how to make mods using cry sandbox in far cry.

[ancientrites]

new problem while playing crysis my system hangs and i cannot use task bar but the game sound is ok.all i do is restart my pc.did anyone come across this situation?

[Harvik780]

Might be an overheating issue or power supply issue.Can also be due to drivers.
8800GTX problems have stabilized by now.i mean most of the software/hardware issues have been taken care of.

[User Name]

Crysis completed.Disappointing Game.Too short.Too many bugs.
Far cry is much better than Crysis.

[deathvirus_me]

^^ eeh ..

[quan chi]

any answer to my post no 283

[ancientrites]

problem solved i had overclocked my graphic card using rivatuner now that i have uninstalled it.game is running pretty good.Damn rivatuner...

[ajaybc]

I completed Crysis.It is simply superb.Actually I had thought that this game was released only to show off DX10 visual capabilities.But both gameplay and graphics in this game ROCKS!!!
But I dint like the way the story ended.It doesn't actually end.It leaves room for a sequel.Iam now waiting for Crysis 2.But I dont think it will be released in the near future(Atleast shud be released before Vista SP1) considering the time Crytek took to develop the first part.

[ancientrites]

i finished off crysis.oh boy the alien ship is something worth fighting.too bad ending leaves the continuity and we are on for crysis 2.I wished the ending sequence could have been a bit longer.anyways prophet is still alive.what a game fantastic graphics absolute pirated worth hehehe:twisted:

[dOm1naTOr]

One qns:
Did the entire population of aliens invaded the island???
Coz, there might be a mothership waiting on space like on the "Indipendance Day" movie. And the foolish soldiers nd US special force were thinkin its all over by destroying the master monster machine which landed on that island..:-D

[kayos]

i got a problem with my crysis game...

if i turn on antialiasing to anything then my graphics get distorted... i can only see outlines of images plus the scene get distorted..

when AA is off then it works fine...

also there is another problem ..

if i save a game and when i restart it my weapons are disabled.. infact i noticed once that my gun stays fixed at the place where i saved it .. while i am able to run ...
lol i mean i can see my gun hanging to point where i saved it last ,..as a result my weapons are disabled... this does not happen to me alone infact the enemy too cannot shoot at me .. lol its kinda funny standing in front of them while they shout
"HE IS MINE"
"KILL HIM"
"SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT"

lol

anyone faced similar problem... kindly help ..

my config is:
8800GTS 312MB
E6750
DG33FBC
250GB SATA
2GB ram..

[T159]

"HE IS MINE"
"KILL HIM"
"SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT"

rofl...he is mine sounds gay :D

@kayos (http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/member.php?u=34557)
does this happened after the 1.1 patch?

[ajayashish]

Am in the last stage fighting the giant moster... the game is very short indeed,...

[The Conqueror]

Core level is the worst of all, I am currently in Paradise Lost level :)

[dOm1naTOr]

Yup, then game ends whole of a sudden. There shud have been atleast a gud fight with aliens and some more powerful weapons to fight them. Nyways gauss rifle was cool, and minigun was worst with 0.01% accuracy.
And even if the scar was much better than FY71, scar ammos are tough to find.

[Rollercoaster]

the only part good in crysis is the beginning before entering the alien spaceship and even the frozen jungle after that is worthless. they are a waste.

The weapons feel good to fire but dont pack enough punch. even the grenades are so lame at damage that the guy will only die if he is sitting on it but they explode beautifully. :p especially when they are sitting on it :D

the best thing is being in the interiors of the ship. all that time i felt that how perfect a adventure or horror game would be in that high quality interior env.

[kayos]

@kayos (http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/member.php?u=34557)
does this happened after the 1.1 patch?

i checked on their official site...

patch is giving problems to many ..
reinstalled it without patch .. and its working fyn now..

would u hav been more considerate, we could hav enjoyed the funny video :D

[sabret00the]

In Crysis everytime I'am trying save prophet from the aliens the bugger ends up dying anyways....help

[dOm1naTOr]

After the patch sometimes the enemies wud stand bare handed nd simply shout nd run. But will be fine after some game restarts:D
but the game is much smoother

[kayos]

would u hav been more considerate, we could hav enjoyed the funny video :D

yeah lol ...

maybe if someone else faces the problem, before giving solution we can ask him to post a video ...

it will be a worthy see.... :D

[Rollercoaster]

i think game developers sould provide such things like easter eggs or fun hacks. it would be totally cool.

[INS-ANI]

wats the basic system requirement for CRYSIS?

[s18000rpm]

is there any way to increase the "cloak mode" power?

i'm in Relic stage, completed "GPS Jammer" mission, onto next one.
no cars left, so gotta walk:))


this game lacks that "involvement" which HL2 & COD4 have, i mean at the stage where they show 'you kno what' doesnt freaks you out at all, but in HL2 Ep2 & COD4 its sooooooo amazing. (e.g. the last stages in both games)

crysis running on geforce 7200gs

[knz]

could any1 help me in crysis i'm in the core level pls help to find a way out of the alien ship

[s18000rpm]

where exactly are you in that level?

[ionicsachin]

i m going for an e6600, msi p35 neo2-fr, xfx 9600gt nd 2gb corsair ram....
will this run high/very high crysis at playable frame rate

[dOm1naTOr]

@ionicsachin (http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/member.php?u=5152)
hi friend
E6600 is no more available
get E 6750 or E 6550. But an E 8200/8400 makes more sense and is better overclockable.
And at what resolution are u playing?
u can play at high~v high on 1440*900 with 9600GT.

[Third Eye]

could any1 help me in crysis i'm in the core level pls help to find a way out of the alien ship

Core, Worst level in Crysis.
Anyway here is the guide (http://www.gamespot.com/features/6182906/p-17.html)

[Shreyes P]

Hey guys cant we enable very high settings in Crysis with my Geforce 7950GT...
I have Geforce 7950GT @ 512 mb ,1 GB RAM..
I get too many glitches when playing at 1280X1024 and every detail set to high...
This game is resource hog :mad:

[remrow]

hey what is the system requirements of farcry.
i played it with 368 mb ram and no graphics card. It had a good graphics on the trees, peoples, and walls but the water and hills all looked black or red.

[ionicsachin]

i m goin for all this
e8400(gonna overclock it)
abit ip35-e
transcend 2gb ddr2 800mhz
evga 9600gt ko(i knoe i knoe 8800gt is better)
will i be able to get 20+ fps in crysis very high

[dOm1naTOr]

@Shreyes P (http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/member.php?u=16565)
if that resolution is fair enuf for ur monitor, then turn off AA. This wud sure reduce the lag.
And very high is only available in Vista. And 1Gb is way too low to play at high. U cant even use the gfx card to fullest with 1GB at least in Crysis.

[Shreyes P]

[arcticflare]

Is this laptop config enough to play crysis smoothly
Core 2 Duo 2.1 Ghz
3GB PC5300 DDR2 667MHz SDRAM
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 512MB DDR discrete memory + up to 767MB shared memory w/ATI HyperMemory technology

[nvidia]

^^You can play it at medium-high settings with that config.

[arcticflare]

Medi*m High :( Does this game req*ire a workstation of sorts or what to get the most o*t of it....

[ionicsachin]

hey they say that thr is no much difference between DX10 very high settings and DX9 high settings....but i found the game looks lot better under DX10...the tree give occlusion shadows and everything seems better, sharper and more lifelike...escpecially the weapons

[s18000rpm]

Core, Worst level in Crysis.
Anyway here is the guide (http://www.gamespot.com/features/6182906/p-17.html)

well i will say it is the best and easiest(till there maybe)! I played it just now. I was out of ammo after destroying all those pumps so took time in killing them with strength punches.

[ionicsachin]

Yeah....the core is a good and challenging level....loved floating around....u wont like it if u r in a hurry to finish the game

[Third Eye]

I didn't like the whole game. :p

[ionicsachin]

Cmon yaar....list out ur dislikes:D.....
i liked the game except the unsatisfying cliffhanger ending

[Sunny1211993]

I started the game 2 days back.Till yesterday afternoon i reached excavation site,playing on XP,high(very high patch applied:D)1280*1024 AA of coz it sux,45+ FPS and the game rocks till now.

[ionicsachin]

yeah...the game really rulz....right now i am playing Crysis 2nd time(on Vista) and Assassinz Creed..

[Stalker]

IMHO, the worst part about Crysis is the story and the characters (dialogues). It could have been a much better game...

[Sunny1211993]

Reached assault level,how much game is left?

[ionicsachin]

@Stalker
Cmon man....wats wrong with the story...thou at some parts it gets slow but it suits the situaation, surroundings and our play time experience

[Arsenal_Gunners]

I am playing Crysis and I am disappointed.The suit could have been more useful,the weapons lack power,enemy variety is very less and story is kind of boring(I am at mothership )Still it is a fun game to play.

[ionicsachin]

try playing it at Harder level..that might make it appreciable

[Arsenal_Gunners]

Playing it at Hard.Increasing difficulty won't help in the cases I mentioned anyway.

[ionicsachin]

1) Suit cud be more useful - for the first time (other then RPG) one is able to take full advantage of suit....tell me any other FPS which shows it better
2) Weapon lack power - If the weapons are SeriousSamish then game becomes very unrealisitc....and notice the fact that ur gun is as powerful as enemyz gun of same make
3) I agree with this one...but then if they fill manyyy enemy model then the game wud be of the size of Unreal Tournament...lets see this in future if thr comes Crysis 2...
4) Different Ppl different opinion...i found the story great with few glitches and slow points...liked the fact that the player aquires understandings as the story grows...

Games are getting close to perfect...Crysis was near too lol....lets wait for FarCry 2

[T159]

Games are getting close to perfect...Crysis was near too lol....lets wait for FarCry 2
if photo realistic means perfect then yes :rolleyes:

[Arsenal_Gunners]

I give crysis 7.5/10

[smit]

Crysis DX 10 very high is a joke, you can enable very high in DX9 , they both look the same, some reviewers don't even know this LOL, they DX 10 very high is better then DX9 high it is, but you can enable very high on DX9 , they both look the same. here is a guide on how to do that & screenshots to prove my point, scroll down in this link to read it.
http://www.tweakguides.com/Crysis_13.html

i finished Crysis sometime ago after the jungle level game becomes very lame, the story is used so many times already, aliens coming to invade your world... the game is very short too, i mean more jungle action would have been better .


ionicsachin@ the way you like crysis, i think you haven't played some old games, you must have start your gaming recently, most of folks i found who like crysis story are either very new to gaming or very young (14-16 years) , people like me , stalker who have played so many games know about story more then others, if you like crysis, it's ok but don't tell us it's good game because there are many games which are better & longer then crysis, graphics don't make a game great, story & gameplay do, sadly crysis fails badly in story department & gameplay isn't really new, in deus ex you can do the same & it was released in 2000 i think so there you have it.

[ionicsachin]

well....just cut the thing that i am new or young oogy-boogy-spiderman type of gamer....i begun gaming frm the Quake 2 time....played many many many games frm all the genres...from Simcitiez to Max Paynes to Serious Samz to Half Life 2 to Halo 3(on XBOX360) and almost anything i find here...took part in any and every gaming competition in hyderabad....have a city level team in CS....depends on the opinion....my friend (Dhananjay Singh, WCG India Semifinalist) is a die hard fan of Sid Mierz Civilisation....while i dint like it that much......and the thing which u are arguing is "story and gameplay" and "new"....i suppose thrz not much u can improve on FPS...CoD4:MW was good at story...but the gameplay was similar....

and abt the DX10 thing.....frm whr will u get the hardware instructions in DX9 mode....the diffused shadows and SM 4 instructions......the tweaks which u mentioned are just making game look better in DX9 mode....try playing it really in DX10 at very high and see...i ll just put some screenshots using the tweaks in DX9 and the real DX10 comparison taken on my PC...just gimme some time

but wateva...its all the eye candy drama....if a DX9 tweak makes a game look as good as the DX10 then its good thing...coz under dx10 game runs a bit slower compared to tweaked DX9

[smit]

Still i think you haven't play deus ex , if you had, you would know crysis is very similar, & the writer of tweakguides is a great guy, you can see for yourself, both DX9 & DX10 on very high look the same, also the most of games you have played are FPS without stories, COD 4 : MW had a good story but not great, if you want to know what a good story is, you need play planscape : torment, Metal Gear Solid 3, Star wars : Knight of the old republic I & II, even Deus EX has a great story, Crysis is decent, a game cannot be great because of visuals & physics, it needs many story, gameplay & it also needs to be longer.

[ionicsachin]

So on what point of me are u telling me that "game cannot be great because of visuals & physics, it needs many story, gameplay & it also needs to be longer"......
Story...i agree it is too short and at times weakening
but gameplay is 9.5/10....

Planescape Torment was great....dint play Deus Ex yet....

[Stalker]

Crytek has still not learnt the art of story telling, although its now much better than FarCry :P
But it still isnt mature enough.

1. Which nut-head will charge against an alien Exosuit(i think its called that, the big alien) like what Major Strickland does in Crysis ? his death was a joke! i mean the way Eli Vance dies in EP2 was a real shocker(and emotional).

2. Whats the point of teammates, when it was YOU who did all the killing. You were a One man Army in that game.

In the 'Rescue stage' Psycho says he will go into the village and provide support. But he never does. He just shows up during the door breach. loser! Also when there is a NK counterattack (when you are supposed to destroy the tanks) he stays with the hostage and tell YOU to take care of the tanks and just stays there. i wish i could say ingame 'A little help here?'

In the 'Assault' Stage, he tell over the radio that hez supposed to provide 'sniper support'. I do find him on top on that red metallic structure inside the harbour. But hez just frozen over there. He wont even shoot the enemies down below while attacking me, he'll just stay there. Even if i am directly standing next to him, the enemies for some reason only shoot me , while he just stays there.

VERY FRUSTRATING AND BAD DESIGN!!!:x

3. The Final Boss is stupid. It can destroy an aircraft carrier, but all it can fire at a person on the deck (player) is a punny Freeze ray??? :confused:

4. General KYONG ( LOLz, nice name Crytek) boss battle was one of the worst. I got him in such a position that he couldnt hit me, but i could hit him very easily. I there was a box in the may, so could shoot me, but i could see the entire side of his body, so i started shooting him, and he didnt even move! so i just did that and he didnt even take a step untill he was dead.:o

5. The aliens in Crysis ( the small mech ones) are as dumb as Trijen Monkeys in FarCry

6. Most of the later levels are Linear.

7. Put the silencer on and you'll be shooting peanuts at the enemy :P. So much for the stealthy approach.:rolleyes:

8. The crytek CEO had said that the death of any Character in game will cause the story to change drastiaclly. But the game turned out to be Scripted. i think he had called it Dynamic Storytelling. (In Deus Ex , you can actually do this)

many more left......

Crysis would have been a great game, but it was full of broken promises. Somehow i get the feeling that they removed some stuff and added some stupid things just to make the game 'COOL'. (Judging from the First Crysis videos)
If you read the docs / discussions in when Crysis was in Development, the developers had said a lot of features will be included, like GPS tagging ammo, ability to lower the temp of nanosuit so that it becomes invisible to aliens etc...

GAMEPLAY wasnt also great. All i used mostly were the Cloak and Armor modes. Deus Ex gave you a wide variety of nano - augmentations.

I'm not saying Crysis is BAD, but it was definitely not worth the HYPE!
I was a Crysis Fan too, always used to read everything that would leak out on the net about Crysis, but the final product dissappointed me.

@ionicsachin
Maybe you should try Bioshock, the story is awesome! amazing gameplay too.
even Max Payne, if you havent played it already.

Still i think you haven't play deus ex , if you had, you would know crysis is very similar, & the writer of tweakguides is a great guy, you can see for yourself, both DX9 & DX10 on very high look the same, also the most of games you have played are FPS without stories, COD 4 : MW had a good story but not great, if you want to know what a good story is, you need play planscape : torment, Metal Gear Solid 3, Star wars : Knight of the old republic I & II, even Deus EX has a great story, Crysis is decent, a game cannot be great because of visuals & physics, it needs many story, gameplay & it also needs to be longer.

Yo man, Deus Ex rulez. :cool: One of all time my favourite games along with KOTOR and MAx Payne. that game was FAR ahead of its time. I didnt like Invisble war that much though.

KOTOR 1 and 2 are awesome RPGs. MUST PLAY! although i was dissappointed by KOTOR 2's ending...was pretty abrupt.

[ionicsachin]

@stalker
Finished Bioshock :D.....it was great...
Max Payne 1 and 2 were finished long back on my ollllllllld MX440 card....loved it with the KungFu mod...
Right now going onz are:

Yes Desu Ex was one of the best game i ever played, i mean you can play that game for so many times. I liked KOTOR 2 story more, it had one of the best story i have ever seen in the game, it was devloped by Obsidian Entertainment, the one who were black isle before it went down & they had made Planescape: torment the game with one of the best story ever.

Anyway the KOTOR 2 ending was rushed, but fear not http://www.team-gizka.org/ , this is Restoration Project for KOTOR 2 , it almost finished now.

Here are the features they are going to provide
Knights of the Old Republic 2, we feel, is a fantastic game. It's also undoubtedly a wounded game: a lonely game that knows it's incomplete as it is but just can't bear to admit it to itself. It's okay, KOTOR2. We're here for you. Shhhh. We're here.

If you're here, you probably know that KOTOR2 had a lot of cut content, including some very important scenes near the end. If you didn't know: KOTOR2 had a lot of cut content, including some very important scenes near the end. You can read a lot of it and listen to some sound clips here.

We're adding back in as much of the cut content as is possible. We are dedicated to forming a coherent story out of these sound clips and occasionally-ambiguous action descriptions, so unfortunately, we cannot include every single cool thing that was cut. But, we will still have plenty of coolness, including:
The long-lost HK Droid Factory! (not the same as the Droid Planet M4-78)
Several ways to murder Visas!
A whole new group of people who want to kill you!
Multiple endings! (no, really, actual endings)
Various ways to be responsible for the deaths of all your party members!

I am really excited, it will release in month or two, i am all set to finish KOTOR 2 for the 3rd time :D

5. The aliens in Crysis ( the small mech ones) are as dumb as Trijen Monkeys in FarCry


ohhh..thanks for telling the monkeys name : TRIJEN :D

lol i wonder wat so special about Tri in the name ???:rolleyes: Some funky name i must say, the next release of Daft Punk should be named Trijen :D

STALKER is heaven (a noob will be killed at sight but a true stalker will worship the game)

U dont get uber power suit, but u earn them in Stalker, u earn everything so guess what u plays strategically, when u have bad armour u avoid fights but u got exo then brick all of them. For every area there is a secret. I friggin love it.

Enemies behave like another human opponent.

One game cannot satisfy all. There will be crtitics for every game no matter how spectacular it might be. But the point is whether the number of people who find the game to be crap are a miniscule minority or an overwhelming majority. In the case of Crysis it's the former. As long as 95% of the critics are pleased with this game, it should not bother Crytek to know that there are those who still nag about this game.

[smit]

LOL, crtices don't make a game great, we do , crysis sales have been very dispointing, in the end money matters, crtices don't give crytek any money, so please use your brain here, crytek itself was very disapointed with crysis that's why they won't make PC exclusive game in the future & don't say the sales are low because piracy COD 4, orange box, Halo 3 etc games have sold much much more then crysis, so i hope you learn that crtices don't make a game great.

[arcticflare]

During Electronic Arts' Q3 2008 Earnings Conference Call, it was stated that Crysis had sold over one million copies worldwide in the fiscal quarter and that the game continues to exceed sales expectations.

Crysis was announced to be the first game in a trilogy by Crytek. It is expected that the sequel will continue where the first game ended. In addition to seeking a United States trademark on the name Crysis, Crytek is seeking to trademark the names Crysis Wars, Crysis Annihilation, World in Crysis, and Crysis Warhead.

LOL indeed

So please use your brain better and get your facts right. Don't just babble.

[smit]

one million COPY HAHAHAHAH !!! LOL YOU can't be this stupid that too worldwide, i can't believe it you call it good, Crysis was the game , do you know what the production value cost was ? NO, anyway here are some other game sales to open your eyes,

The Sims 2 (13 million)
World of Warcraft (10 million subscribers)
Half-Life 2 (4 million)
Doom 3 (3.5 million)
EverQuest (3.5 million)
Theme Park (3.5 million)
Age of Empires (3 million)
Civilization IV (3 million)

All of the above games production value were very low unlike crysis, So please use your brain , thanks.


Also Crytek won't make PC exclusive games in the future , why a devloper won't make a PC exclusive game that has got best ratings from critic in 2007 think, oh but you can't because it sales sucked .

http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3167645

No crysis won't be ported to consoles but the future games of the triology will be ported to consoles.

"We are suffering currently from the huge piracy that is encompassing Crysis," said Yerli. "Similar games on consoles sell factors of 4-5 more. It was a big lesson for us, and I believe we won't have PC exclusives as we did with Crysis in future."

here is excerpt from the artical, so who is babbling now ??

[arcticflare]

Ah who's foolish here. We're talking about a game that was recently released and fast beating sales expectations. Maybe a million games a quarter doesn't seem much to a game lord like you!! The games you have mentioned are selling good, no doubt, but they have been released way prior to Crysis. Why do you draw conclusions so early?
And when Crytek say that they won't be making Pc exclusives it simply means that they are going to make games compatible for both Pc and consoles. I don't see what difference that has made to the quality of game Crysis is, which was my point in the first place untill some quack started ranting about sales figures and diverted the topic.
And I don't think there is any company that would make sequels to games that weren't successful and have bombed according your prejudiced data.

[koolbluez]

Guyz.. in the Relic part of Crysis, I get my graphics as shown below. Dunno what to do.. how to continue.... has the graphics corrupted it? I suppose. It feels like a rainbow dream sequence.. all black & colors (a la Max Payne dream sequence).

Click on image for a 27sec 889kB (light enuf i suppose :D) video rendering of the same

Any1 encountered this problem... remedy.. I tried higher settings to no avail :(
My GC is a GeForce Go 7600... HP C2D laptop on 2GB RAM, Vista Ultimate 64bit. Crysis patched to 1.1

[dOm1naTOr]

its sure an artifact. Its due to outdated driver. It onc happened with Crysis nd COD4 for me too. Get the letest forceware for ur 7600Go.
Also try lowering the details.

[koolbluez]

right-click updated drivers for my GeForce 7600 Go.. but message that already best drivers installed... v 7.15.10.9815... which is the latest of drivers of the Go series. Tried Nvidia's & HP'ss sites. but to no avail.

I cannot use forceware of other os/other GCs... as an error message comes up then... The NVidia setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware


Update:
The driver v7.15.10.9815 was the latest one available by Nvidia for 7600 GO. But on long search I got a Vista 64 bit wala forceware which didnt give that error message... and now the driver is showing as v7.15.11.7563 dtd April 2008.
But problem still exists. Does any1 have a save game around 1 min of gameplay into the Relic (with the environment changed a bit... out of the water sequence?) please send.. might help me out... i think it is a problem with environ-physics-graphics correlation.

Update:
My suspicion on environ-physics-graphics correlation might b true. Tried a Natural Mod (http://www.fileplanet.com/184611/180000/fileinfo/Crysis---Natural-Mod-2.0.2) and now I have that other black guy gettin kidnapped by the alien. But this time.... the game hanged on my reaching the GPS jammer :(

[ionicsachin]

Sometimes this sort of thing happens with Anti Aliasing + HDR thing....i get some similar problem when i put AA + HDR in FarCry....i know i sound foolish abt it in Crysis

[nish_higher]

how is crysis multiplayer? i have original version but never experienced it online.is it good?

[Sunny1211993]

^^
It's crap!I too have the original version.Bought it only for online play but its useless.CoD4 Online is much better!

[T159]

@koolbluez
I never played Crysis after viewing the gameplay videos + ofcourse it will lag on my system
cant say, but try changing graphics setting

[dheeraj_kumar]

@Koolbluez

Looks like HDR gone wrong. Try disabling that. Keep AA though.

[paranj]

I just completed the game. Must say it sux big time. Can a game be great only by its graphics? No not at all:)

[bikdel]

^^ Ryt but the nano suit n all the arsenals lure me.

[nish_higher]

I just completed the game. Must say it sux big time. Can a game be great only by its graphics? No not at all:)
yea its all abt the graphics , which too are buggy :p
i wonder how FC2 and Crysis Warhead will be.hope they concentrate on the gameplay and work on those bugs and keep the gfx requirements/gfx the same as crysis.coz they are good for now.coz i dont want to go for another upgrade :p

gameplay isnt bad but that last level is pathetic.
multiplayer cant be compared to COD at all.no match there.COD is much better.

[paranj]

u guys remeber Crysis's ending? Nomad says "Lock onto his position, We are going back " I was laughing like crazy. that nOOb Nomad was trying to sound like Strickland. lmao! :D:D

[thewisecrab]

^^
+1
I would have felt the game was better had the ending not been so Cr@ppy and wierd...
NEway glad to here about crysis warhead

[paranj]

Crysis Warhead will too suck like this :D

[RexRazr]

can 3GB of RAM make a difference in crysis' performance than 2GB? (while playing in 'hacked' very high settings and using Windows XP 32Bit)

[ionicsachin]

I dont think that it will make much difference...coz at very high setting the game is increasing the texture load and shader loads and all, which are directly associated with ur graphic card

Looks like FarCry 2 release is again delayed(Wikipedia)...
