Warning: Crysis 3 Will Melt Your PC, Says Crytek

[Prey]

I do find it somewhat odd that they stick their nose up at PC gaming, make a sequel which is obviously targeting consoles (had they been targeting PCs we'd hear .. yea, but can it run crysis2) Now they're touting about making a game that will melt our PC. We will see crytek, we will see..

displacement + tesselation can go a long way towards both making a game look more detailed and making it weigh down your machine. So can just increasing the poly count for the models in the first place, or increasing texture resolution. (so could separate diffuse and color mapping but that would mean they couldn't use 3dsMax for authoring)

There's reasons TV and film vfx still look better than video games even though theoretically games have the same rendering features...

That's what I've been saying! Devs have the tools, but they have to get the game to run decently on the machines of the time. Crysis 2 was a mistake by Crytek - developing for consoles and throwing a half-finished bone at the PC gamers they enamored with the original. Maldo has done an INCREDIBLE job fixing Crysis 2, and his version 4 is almost here!

Crysis and Warhead crushed 2008-2010 machines because Crytek stuffed in all the eye candy that was available at the time, and it honestly looks like that's what'll happen with Crysis 3. For gameplay, it'll be more like the sequel than the original, BUT the newest graphical features will be there (see above video), along with destructible environments

The DX11 version of Crysis 2 is still one of the most demanding titles out there, and Crysis 3 has used that version as a foundation. I'm really looking forward to the end result. And seeing those $500 video cards pant at 1080p

Em... This is clearly a marketing hype. Melting dosent mean it will look better, it just means will not be optimized for PCs, so no matter what CPU/GPU you ahve, they will run at 100%, and still have crappy frames (like deus ex 3 had in some areas and with some animations).

Besides, they did promise DX11 at release on PC version of crysis 2, and then they simply didnt. Why would i trust anything they say? (Not to mention they didnt add DX11 Native to crysis 2 with the ULTRA quality update, they only added dx11 support for specific elements of the game.

I do not think there has been a fully native DX11 game on the market yet, and the closest thing to it maybe matro 2033? Hard to say, but PC gaming has sucked for some time now, meaning few games are actually really AWSOME, most are shitty, and there are a few good'ish.

I guess ill do same way ive been doing alst 2 years: Watch on youtube the game for a while, then decide if its worth the money or even then time.

 

[cats_Paw]

oh and btw, if you think that the dx11 was a huge improvment in crysis 2, here are the numbers:
http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/crysis_2_dx11_vga_and_cpu_performance_benchmarks,4.html

For comparison, crysis warhead (since crysis 1 did have a bit less decent optimization than expected),

http://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/geforce_gtx_560_ti_448_core_review,16.html
http://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/msi_geforce_gtx_560_ti_hawk_review,14.html

So its clear that crysis warhead on dx10 was more GPU intensive than crysis 2 with dx11 (or as i call it, pseudo dx11).

 

[Razec69]

Crysis 3 will melt because of the bad console coding. And lack of DX11 features and High Res textures at launch.

Crysis = Masterpiece

Crysis 2 = Straight Forward Linear Console Port

Crysis 3 = ???

 

[cats_Paw]

Crysis 3=Call of duty with a bow on cryengine 3...

 

[djscribbles]

When I read these articles I always get the feeling that many people would be happy if a game runs like crap until you get massive hardware, regardless of how it actually looks.

 

[noob_g]

hoho! interesting!
lets see if this one melts my pc instead of thrashing my hdd like the crysis 2 did )))))

Jokes on you, I have a GTX 480 and my PC is already on fire trying to post here

 

[deftonian]

meh, after playing the alpha MP, they have some work to do.

For real. Melting, no - being the first game to keep my CPU and GPU constantly above 90%, yes. Also, tessellation and POM aren't applied yet, and they have some serious implementations planned according to the video above... Looking forward to release!

After horrific experience with Origin, I've decided to boycott EA for as long as possible - at least 5 years!

 

[gianny37]

Well I got to play the closed beta of crysis 3 ( its over tomorrow) and my oc 690 pulls around 30 - 40 frames at 1080 p with the highest settings ... Oh and it looks amazing too . It makes metro and battlefield look like .... Console ports lol

 

[gianny37]

Plus they still need to add certain things like tess and pom but it might just not be well optimized yet

 

[epdm2be]

"There are brutal expectations around the PC version of Crysis 3. So this time we promise to melt down PCs."

Which gets translated in my language as: you're a bunch of incompetent programmers!

I dare them to write a good FPS for RISC OS running on a Raspberry Pi on stock 700MHz speed! If you can do THAT, THEN you'll get my respect.

 

[lengcaifai]

many hidden comments actually is very reasonable, in fact this game is crap if u have to QUAD SLI XFIREX only to enjoy the GRAPHICS, i'd rather enjoy davinci's portraits

 

[Rock_n_Rolla]

IMO,

As far as Cry Engine 3 and its capabilities and features is concerned, the developers of
Crysis 3 for sure had this game optimized to utilize the engine's latest offerings in order
to maximize game-play and its visuals (more importantly). This means Cry Engine 3
are more "streamlined" to use our video card's resources through its drivers in order
to render the game's very complex and "ULTRA REALISTIC" graphics.

As to what Cevat Yerli said "The game may Melt our PC's", obviously this is a part of
their marketing BULLSHIT scheme or should i say "to increase the game's hype" in
order to get the attention of the "PC people" around the world and make us forget the
bullshit thing they did on Crysis 2 on PC.

As far as technicalities is concerned, Cry Engine 3 improvements is on our side, and
no matter how the game developers of Crysis 3 push the 'Visual" aspects of the game
to its highest level in order to give us PC people a much better gaming experience as
compared to its Console version still, it will not melt our PC's BUT,.. take note, BUT
will make other video cards (particularly those in mid to the entry-level) ones suffer
while rendering this game to its highest settings on a single full HD monitor.
This is also true for BF3, though it uses Frostbyte engine.

I think if your video card can render BF3 in decent "playable" frame rates at its highest
settings on a single full HD monitor, chances are you can play Crysis 3 at its highest
settings too (on a single full HD monitor)...

So they're saying because the Origin your PC would melt? Because I'm pretty sure it's going to be developed for consoles in mind with only half ass port.

 

[Guest]

Give me a break. Its just another POS Xbox port they want to throw at us PC users. I won't be buying it. If I wanted to play XBox crap, I would have bought an XBox for $200. Instead I bought a $2500 dollar desktop PC so I could play REAL fps games and sims with REAL graphics.

Suck it Crytek. You sold us out with Crysis 2 and your gutted CE3 engine. We PC gamers aren't coming back.

 

[s1ddy]

Will it burn my dual 690's...?, think not, It's all fancy talk with trailers and ingame footage trying to get this game sold.. but in the end all you get is an game of wich the engine is taken apart and capped to the max just like they did with C2... (not that i disliked C2, gameplay was really fun, but graphics wise my vidcards (back then dual 580's) wouldn't even break a sweat..) same will prolly go for c3, they promise you a complete game but afterwards you need to download a 1.5Gb big patch to get it where the dev's hoped the gamers would liked it to be.., wich it didn't... and yes.. ^^ it'll prolly be a game that is more likely to be at par with an console so i't'll not even get my mosfets warmed up.. i'll sit this one out and listen to what the comments will be after the release...

 

[Guest]

I agree with you. This would have to be a PC exclusive the way Crysis was to max out the Polys

I bet it'll light that rig up if you try and play in 3D on Ultra on triple 30" monitors...

 

[darkavenger123]

Not sure what's the hype with Crysis 1. Wasn't impressed. It wasn't "3 years in advance". It's more like it wasn't optimized by lazy programmers who couldn't be bothered and just cross their fingers that the hardware 3 years later will do for them what they're suppose to do in the first place.

I'm willing to try it on triple 25" on ultra ^^ but first i wanna know if this game is gonna be like they say it will be or if this game is gonna be consoleport material..
