[citation][nom]demonhorde665[/nom]you mean crysis 2 , and NO F---ing thanks , i don't see why you uber rich geeks think companies should cater only to you. i bought crysis 1 back when it came out , and I still can't get the damn thing to run smooth after upgrading from a dual core to a quad core , and about 4 different video card upgrades later. in fact i'm not thrilled at all about crytek wanting to "blow up our pcs" with cyrsis 3 F--- That . i'd rather have a game that runs smooth at max setting than one that arbitrarily makes me go through multiple (main stream) pc upgrades just to run the game half-a--ed[/citation]
[citation][nom]vrumor[/nom]Way to take out your inability to either build a decent PC, or afford one, on those who can. These games run smooth when you have the correct hardware. So enjoy your slideshow.[/citation]
Crysis (I'm using Dragon so I'm not getting correct this anymore it's just going to be crisis if I mention it again and it doesn't come out right) one was a very very poorly optimized game. It's to the point that I believe Crysis warhead came out after using the same engine but more optimized had better graphics and required less system specs to run it.
And then there's Crysis 2, taking a level design away I believe the game looked better than Crysis one and still required less graphical power to manage that, at the same time it maintained a more stable frame rate than Crysis one something that I believe is more important than just having a high frame rate.
The Crysis 3 is based off of cry engine 3 I believe and they already learned their lesson from the Crysis 2 storm, they're not releasing the DirectX 11 stuff later it's coming out when it comes out on the PC.
Now with that said, I don't believe game should ever be made for future technology, not because of an "I can't play the game boo-hoo" way but in a more they brute force way. See the way old PC games were they would plan for it might not run right now but in the future the parts will be fast enough to run the game right. They brute forced it. I want to more finesse approach, where they take into account limitations of the PCs right now what they can do and how they can make it work on lesser power, I don't believe any game should ever choir SLI to work on a single normal monitor. If you want to run the game at 2560 x 1600 or if you want to run the game on 3 monitors or for some godforsaken reason anti-aliasing needs to be put up to 16 or if you are insane enough to go up uber sampling, then yes I believe you should have to have more than one video card you should have to buy that highest and card just to play the game. But until you do something stupid like that I don't think that you should be punished for buying a lesser card, and make no mistake about it you are being punished for buying a lesser card if you get the PC port that easy have graphics turned down.
You see it works like this the developers program and they create the game according to the highest specs setting they don't go through the game and individually place everything for 4 or 5 different graphics settings, so anything more than the max is unintended for how they wanted to do it but they put into a computer and the computer decides okay you take this stuff here way and it does that. Take a look at Crysis on maximum and then take a look at Crysis on the lowest setting and tell me that if they didn't make the game for the lowest setting it wouldn't look worlds better than what lowest setting its, not saying they should make the games look good I'm not saying they shouldn't what I'm saying is that they should take the highest and graphics card that single chip and figure out what they can do with that card and that is what they develop for. Not over placing things in the game and maybe 2 or 3 years later a graphics card comes out that can actually handle the damn game. But again that's an unpopular position that I have offended some of you and I'm sure my post will get down voted just for having this position that you should program was in what can actually be done on a computer now without buying an insane computer.
