Chris Remo gave some impressions of the game too...

Playing this game is mind-boggling. I played it for a while today and it's just a weird experience. In general I really don't give a shit about photorealism in games but you really can't help but be blown away by what Crytek has managed to do with this game. The subtle motion blur when you turn is understated enough not to get in the way, and present enough that you're quite impressed when you see it. Plus I was a huge Far Cry fan and this looks to up the ante in terms of nonlinear, personalized gameplay, so I'm excited there.

The framerate still needs to be improved, but it's already a HUGE step up from what it was last time I played the game. Plus, every single game at Microsoft's CES booth was overheating, running slowly, and crashing, because the computers were boxed into these tiny shelves, so I can't be too hard on Crysis there. It was pretty hilarious and dumb. Why don't booth designers learn by now? This shit happens EVERY TIME.

In response to what he thought was running this game (Hardware wise)

No but I'll try to find out if I get a chance. I think the machines were equipped with 8800s though.

Game seems to be running good on the 8800's if this is the case. More optimization to whatever needs to be optimized it sounds like the game will be playing well.

I'm really diggin the DoF effects, Blur effects and how they've been used so subtlety. The art direction looks fantastic too, the cyborg design reminds me of Grey Fox from MGS...awesome

best looking game ever but good pc games are so far and between. even more so than wii releases

[MrAngryFace]

Call of Duty 3 is pretty fucking impressive in parts, even if its on an on-rails FPS

[GilloD]

By the time this comes out, I'll have a rig ready to play Oblivion!

J/K, OSX 4eva.

But I am a little worried that Crysis will be, "MOW THE GRASS WITH UR BULLETS: TEH GAME" and will not embody the awesomeness of HL2, GoW and other notable, ball rockin' shooters.

[ToxicAdam]

I'll wait for the Wii port.

[MrAngryFace]

Wii port of CoD3 is uuuuugly lol

[Himu]

Photorealism can suck my dick. I like to know I'm playing a game.

[trippingmartian]

Looks sick, but I'm not a fan of the Far Cry gameplay.

[MrAngryFace]

IM GONNA SHOOT U IN THE FACE!

[The Fake Shemp]

OMG A PRETTY FPS ON HIGH END PC HARDWARE TEH INNOVASHUN!

Most hyped pretty games on the PC end up being nothing but underwhelming.  Call me when a geniunely entertaining game like TEAM FORTRESS 2 comes out!

i really like the boosting in this game... it makes it look less like a simulation and more arcadey.  we need more boosting in FPSes.

[Wobedraggled]

This and Ut2k7 will own

[The Fake Shemp]

I'm a firm believer in ignoring high-end uber rig PC releases.  If they come out and are worth a grain of salt, then by the time I have machine ready to play them the game has developed a following and cool mods.  If it was an underwhelming piece of eye candy, I didn't waste my money!

[MrAngryFace]

A good engine does not make a good game. I look forward to the games to come after lol.

A good engine does not make a good game. I look forward to the games to come after lol.

Amen.

For example, see any game that id Software has released in the past decade.

I think the only series and/or game to live up to its engine has been Half-Life 2.  But I'm more or less anticipating TF2 than Episode 2.

[BlueTsunami]

As far as gameplay goes for this game in particular, theres supposed to be great additions to Far Cry. Its obviously not going to be Far Cry 1.5 with prettier Visuals!

If any comparison would probably best describe what this game is going to be, its Deus Ex Machina. It seems like Crysis is basing the gameplay around the cyborg suit and building up your powers. Like the ability to boost (which was referred to earlier in the thread). The guns are supposed to be awesome too, theres also a wider range of vehicles (supposedly).

I think its going to rock and have substance beyond the visuals

[MrAngryFace]

id's history aside, I hope Quake Wars rocks.

[BlueTsunami]

The game I really can't wait for is this, Team Fortress and Portal...oh man Portal looks awesome. I've always loved puzzlers in that type of setup and the visuals rule so its even better

The lighting is pretty impressive. Good lighting can make up for so much

[Phoenix Dark]

Everytime I see the game in motion I'm not impressed at all. Yeah the graphics are great but the framerate is horrible.

Fuck graphics. Fix the framerate plz

[BlueTsunami]

Yep....its weird too..I'm watching the vid and the good natural Depth of Field is making the game have this sense of depth that I don't think has been experienced before. Its almost as if past games had you place your hand on one eye and playing it like that, now it has a nice depth to it...I love it.

The lighting is awesome too. Its going to be amazing to see PC games using DX10 and the accompanied hardware really utilize lighting to work with gameplay (I know Alan Wake is going to be doing this). In Crysis though, it looks to be there just to be pretty though. Awesome

I was worried that the buildings collapsing would pull a motorstorm. You know, fall like they were legos but they don't. It looks like they actually explode apart and splint...which is much more awesome!

Everytime I see the game in motion I'm not impressed at all. Yeah the graphics are great but the framerate is horrible.

Fuck graphics. Fix the framerate plz

Thats why the game is still in development maaaan! :p . The framerate is infinitely better than last year though, I remember when everyone was lol'ing at the slideshow the game was running at on the 7x series Nvidia cards. Running much better now.

60+ fps on single 8800 GTX, Intel Core Duo 2, 2 GB RAM with highest settings, DX 10 effects enabled and resolution of 2048x1556.

[BlueTsunami]

Man..the off screen shot of the Computer monitor playing the game is fucken sweet looking. Though, the top most pics are being upscaled...I was wondering why the textures looked stretch...still hawt!

I have to make my way back to B3D since DX10 is starting to hit when Vista comes around.

[brawndolicious]

there'll be like five guys with vista.

Photorealism can suck my dick. I like to know I'm playing a game.

But what if it's a good game that also happens to have that level of photorealism, hmm?
