Hi!

Have anyone heard about or seen the upcoming game from crytek, Crysis?

The graphics are unbeliveable!

It's the nicest gfx i've ever seen on PC(When it comes to a fps game.)

Screenshot's here: http://electronicarts.co.uk/games/8456/Screenshots/

Crysis oriented video's here: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/crysis/media.html


I'm looking forward to it's release!

Regars,
John

I've been following it for a while, losing interest as the days go on though, i have heard about some cool gameplay features, but it just seems like an extremely good looking Far Cry.



I'll still buy it though

Did you hear?

Crysis has a wicked new AI system if you walked pass a bush it'll move and a enemy will go over there and check it and apparently it's not safe anywhere!

Wait, wait, wait... If you pass a bush, it will move? And then an enemy AI will hear that and come looking?

What kind of bush moves when you walk by it, and for that matter, what kind of 'enemy' has super-sonic hearing to hear a bush moving that isn't already in visual range..?

@ deathhead, thats called conditions like so its like saying

if object hit(player,bush)=1 then bushmove=1
if bushmove=1 and enemyhearbushsuspicous=1 then enemycheck=1
then you'd put in some pathfinding whatever

Annoying AI that seems to appear behind you and start shooting you in the head. I'd prefer if the enemies caught sight of you, then ran off because they know they're toast . Seriously, how bout some AI that hides from you, or AI that knows when it has no chance and runs. Gods had that years ago on the 16-bit's, since then the only enemies running away that spring to mind are the grunts in Halo (which would probably still run away if you were only armed with marshmallows).

It looks pretty cool, probably get it on the 360, as multiplayer will probably be great. Kinda looks more believable, that shoreline with the fields behind looks spot on. I appreciate the diversity in the Farcry games, just hope the gameplay niggles are gone (like the ever spawning enemies and frequent wondering about with nout to do). I wonder if there's a level editor with this one, that would guarantee one sale right here .

Not sure about a level editor, but I know there's a multiplayer mode in which the game could go on as long as 13 hours. Apparently it's some sort of capture all the hotspots on the map type thing, but because the maps are very large the settings can be tweaked so that it takes hours to complete (32 or 64 person multiplayer mode I believe).

VanB i hate to shoot you down but they have actually said pc only, with no plans to bring it to a console, if i remember correctly.

And the level editor is the sandbox thing you got with Farcry, only version 2

Vietcong! Still the best Enemy AI. Very rarely does anything stupid. Always dives behind cover the minute it spots you, pops up, and ducks back down ... always trying to flank you if possible, always rushes you very quickly, no dumb slow response on the trigger. Awesome coop experience.

DirectX 10 only, so 360 is out of the question. It was falsely rumoured that a DX9 version (completely different) would be released on the 360.

The DX9 versoin looks like s**t... anyway, I'm really looking forward to the game... My PC is above the recommended copmuter specs, so i think I'll be able to run it at a rally good Framerate! ^^

The game also has many cool features! =D

looks like another graphics wonder with 6-hour crappy gameplay i never get my hopes up for "next-gen"(90's inspired CGI) games, becuase they usually are too short or badly played..or both.

Yeah crysis has just one version where you can turn on DrictX 10 graphics. But only if you have the cash for a £400 graphics card and windows vista

I'm pretty sure it is DX10 only (as you said), but don't quote me on it though

That TeamXbox.com link is probably from when the rumour was floating around for a few weeks. EA finally shut the door straight after (although it's too early in the morning to find a link )

Although I wouldn't be surprised if EA eventually released it on every gaming device known to man including GBA, cell phone, Wii, and Gizmondo.

Yep looks like a sweet sweet game, I prefer the AI of Rainbow six las vegas, they are pretty smart not to hard but they take cover work as a team etc.

Hey, I hope you're not knocking the Gizmondo and its Direct X (D3D Mobile) and Nvidia GoForce 128bit 3D 4500 capabilities! I used mine yesterday...

TBH not much point in running it on anything lower, actually.

Like HL2 which could "run" on DX7.

Here's a lil pic which escaped my scanning before:



Doubt we'll see that in game, but looks nice anyway!

Not photo realistic yet, but definitely not uncanny.

Heh, it may not be photorealistic, but it's on par with the CG in most movies! Though you won't see that in game, it's nice to know that you can do that stuff in real time
