What is Digg?144 Comments
- Wolfr, on 10/12/2007, -8/+60And then, PC gamers knew they were getting the best graphics again. And while the next-gen console's hardware isn't going to change for another 5 years; ours will.
5 years ago we were playing Medal of Honor: Allied Assault on PC while people were still struggling with either blurry N64 graphics or the pixelated PS1 stuff. The early adapters of the next-gen system (PS2) that was out at that time had to cope with paying ridiculous amounts for their console; which barely had the launch games to back it up with.
(Of course, some gems came out later on the PS2)
In 4 years we will be playing something that's looking far better than Crysis while all console junkies are looking forward to improved graphics on their next-gen systems.
Fact is, current-gen PC will always equal or better console gaming. - billymachine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+34Direct Feed High Definition + YouTube = FAIL!

Nintendo isn't trying to impress the world with crazy graphics and insane resolution...they created an original, fun, and affordable game that almost everyone can play and enjoy.
ps...the crysis video look really nice - springah, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22"DirectX 10 is available exclusively to Vista, which means that computers that aren't running Vista will not be able to run later applications which require DirectX 10; however, ATI revealed that the Xbox 360 is DX10 ready via software update."

- marklj, on 10/12/2007, -5/+26I love gaming on my PC, but sometimes its a bummer that I have to upgrade $200-$500 every six months to play the latest game at a decent fps.
I paid 200 bucks for my ps2 and never spent a dime more to upgrade to play new games... - toast1226, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20mirror: http://www.diggapps.com/incrysis_dot_com_dx10_flyover_HD.zip
- yohan, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21Yes that'll run Crysis on DX9 mode. Don't listen to DrugMirror, he's obviously an idiot.

- Icecream, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12But sweeter on PC
- Araxen, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12PC games sport just as much diversity as Consoles. Wake me up when I can play Flight Sim X, World of Warcraft, BF2(the real one with 64 player maps), Neverwinter Nights 2, Medieval II: Total War or best of all the wide variety of mods available from the PC mod community which is still unmatched on consoles.

Because your "new" games are not new, it's the same old technology. Console games look good for about 6 months and then start looking like ***** compared to the always evolving PC games. - furtwan1, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13360 doesn't support dx10 but it does support most of the same features which are beyond dx9.
crysis will look sweet on a 360! - tehJR, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Here you go:

someone post it on rapidshare - ipodman715, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Torrent: http://www.mininova.org/tor/502303
:) - TheThirdWheel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Cool, I'm just about to leave work and I started the download. At 3Kb/s it may be done when I get back Monday. I'll update with my thoughts then.
- BlackKnight6, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Actually the 360 GPU, Xenos, has almost full DX10 compliance. Reason is because it is based on ATi's R600 architecture, in other words, the architecture for their yet un-released DX10 card for the PC:
"Things get even better when you factor in the Xenos’ MEMEXPORT ability which allows it to enable “streamout” which opens the door for Xenos to achieve DX10 class functionality. A shame Microsoft chose to disable Xenos’ other 16 pipelines to improve yields and keep costs down. Not many are even aware that the 360’s GPU has the exact same number of pipelines as ATI’s unreleased R600, but to keep costs down and to make the GPU easier to manufacture, Microsoft chose to disable one of the shader arrays containing 16 pipelines. What MEMEXPORT does is it expands the graphics pipeline in more general purpose and programmable manner."

This is one just one of the reasons why I know the PS3 is actually slower. The PS3's GPU is just a 7800GTX while the 360 is basically a prototype of ATi's DX10 card (less pipes and lower clock speeds than the PC version will be). - drizek, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11Its not rocket science people. DX10 was released with windows vista two days ago. The xbox 360 was released a year ago. Do the math.
- Araxen, on 10/12/2007, -6/+13Crysis will be game of the year next year. Too bad all those console junkies are stuck with Halo 3(aka the most overatted series ever) as their FPS of the year.
- Slyer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7They have already said, that the PS3 and Xbox 360 aren't powerful enough to run to the full extent that Crysis is capable of.
So if they do port it, they would have to dumb it down.
But they have made no announcement that they are doing so as of yet. - TKn00b, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8my computer lagged just playing the video
- Vokas, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7I assume it will last until the end of the game?
- drizek, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8OK, i stand corrected.
- seether166, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Is anyone else disappointed by the fact it's an EA game? I mean, the ruined Battlefield2 nicely, and 2142...bleh.
Btw, maybe this isn't as good quality, but it's up:
http://media.pc.ign.com/media/694/694190/vids_1.html - WasabiBomb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Downloading the file right now. I love Crytek's work- can't wait to play this one, assuming my machine will be able to.
As a gamer, I much prefer PC games. I just think the experience is better on a PC. I've got a PSP, PS2, and an XBox, but I do the majority of my gaming on my PC.
However, as a game developer, I prefer to work on consoles. The percentage of console games which make a return on their development costs is much higher than that of PC games- it's simply more likely that you'll make money working on a console game. Sad but true. - KJSatz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Crysis is NOT a sequal to Far Cry.
- Araxen, on 10/12/2007, -6/+11every six months? you really need to quit trolling. It's been a year at least since I've upgraded my video card and I'm running current games really well.
That $200 on your PS2 was already sporting outdated graphics when you bought it while the PC was sporting bleeding edge graphics that just now the PS3/Xbox 360 owners are just now experiencing.
Give me PC gaming over console gaming any day of the week if I HAD to choose between the two. Luckily, I can own both consoles and a PC and I get the best of both worlds. - Zipp425, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5with the 360 not supporting DX10 is a hardware thing right?
@keropipi
Im pretty sure Ive heard it doesnt support it. Do you have any articles backing your claim? I guess I should ask myself the same... - Xsecrets, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5My god I don't know where this is hosted, but it's awesome everything needs to be mirrored here. I downloaded the whole thing never went below 800Kb/s.
- Ramtech, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Dude.. your good to play just about anything out.. and you probably know that.. lol otherwise you wouldnt have known how to type it out..
- erkokite, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6You won't need DX10 to play Crysis. It is public knowledge that it will run fine on DX9 cards. The 360 is about halfway in between. It has a unified shader architecture, and shared video memory, so you can easily transfer data between CPU and GPU.
- Kizza, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Yes, it does look fairly good. As far as the ocean water goes, take a gander at Alan Wake, I think they've come the closest to the FSX picture. The sunrays and clouds can be achieved in Cryengine 2, the same goes for the amount of trees in both the Cryengine 2 and Alan Wake engine. We aren't far off at all, in my opinion. The HDR glare is just standard fare, these days.

I'm pretty sure all of those screenshots are in DX9, anyway. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6exactly what i was just thinking
- Kizza, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7No, it isn't planned for the 360. Cevat Yerli laughed when asked if it was going to the 360, and said it simply isn't possible. I'd give you a link to the interview but the inCrysis WWW is down at the moment. Alternatively, Michael Khaimzon, the Art Director at Crytek said it was possible on the PS3 and X360, they'd just have to figure out how much sacrifice they'd need to make to the game and actually get a green light from Cevat. Cevat Yerli has also expressed a true interest in developing consoles, the company has looked into console development and Cryengine 2 supports multiple platforms.
As hinted to before, Cevat has also said in an interview that a big goal for Crytek in the development of Crysis is that he wants to show the gaming world exactly what the PC is capable of. Take of this information as you wish. - sinurgy, on 10/12/2007, -5/+9I sit down on my comfy couch in front my my 60" HDTV and I play video games when the mood strikes. I don't install or uninstall patches, I don't download drivers, I don't deal with hardware conflicts and since I don't game on my PC my computing environment is rarely unstable.
No doubt the PC offers the cutting edge for gaming but it's certainly not all roses. There are pluses and minuses to both choices, so lets not get into a "my choice is better than yours" war please! - Bega, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I dunno, if spore doesn't come out in the next 31 days...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Hmm.. FarCry came out three years ago, and many games today are still not up to par.
- jblade, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Put it on Rapidshare thx
- Kizza, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I'm not about to tell you that PC is better than console, or vice versa. Though I am more biased to the PC market, I'll admit that.
Since when did a digg dedicated to a Crysis video become a comparison fest 2006 between the consoles and the PC? I have a feeling I know why. Crysis looks to be a good game, it has better graphics than most X360 games, and it isn't coming to the consoles. This thread had nothing to do with consoles until we have a few consolers coming in and bagging the game, or whatever. Do you see me going into a Halo3 thread and bagging that game and making it a PC vs 360 fest? No. I ask that you do the same for this digg. Consolers have absolutely nothing to do with Crysis, so unless you're going to enter discussion about Crysis and Crysis alone, do everyone a service and GTFO. Sticking it to the consoles is not what Crysis is about, and it's certainly not what GoW or Halo3 is about on the inverse. Go back to finding your PS3, throwing your wiimote into your wall, or waiting for Halo3, to be honest with you. We don't need your crap. This is about Crysis, not your own little agendas.
"And oh btw, Crysis looks great, but if it doesn't play great how long will the visual feast last?"
You wouldn't be asking yourself that if Crytek didn't produce amazing graphics, would you? They have some fairly unique and interesting ideas for gameplay and only an ignorant fool would disagree. Just go to one of the many fansites and read up about the features of the game if you don't think it has anything to offer in the way of gameplay. TAC bullets, dynamic storyline, some nifty stealth features, power struggle multiplayer, the nanosuit, these are just a few examples of how Crytek intends to rock your world.
I can see why a person might come to that conclusion as this flyover is essentially a glorified tech demo, and its purpose is to show off not only the graphics, but the grand scale of the maps, how alive the world is, and I do believe that is a multiplayer map, too. - TinFoil209, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Very nice toast1226! Very few (free) servers take full advantage of cable connections. With a server like that and a digg article so popular this is a very nice "Hello World!" to the digg community. Cheers!
- KnightMareInc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4You wind up paying more owning a console than you would owning a PC because console games simply cost more and the prices stay higher because of licensing fees that game devs have to pay the console markers.
- Mosatii, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5@drlha
You're right, but not for the reasons you think. PC gamers would not buy the console fair that you say screams innovation.
Those games are mostly the type that you pick up for a few minutes and then move on, or play with friends who are in the same room. PC gamers play for longer periods of time and usually lean towards games that have more depth and complexity. Plus most of the innovation ends up happening on the PC first and then moving over to consoles, not the other way around.
So you're right, you don't see games like that for the PC. There is no market for it. -
