I feel like im the only PC gamer that dosen't find Crysis's graphics impressive?

I mean yea the game looks amazing thats for sure. But TBH Crysis never really "wowed" me. The graphics are insanely good but I never really ever got excited over them. And yes I play Crysis on Very high at a decent res.

I personally think games like Company of Heros and WiC and a bigger impact on me in terms of graphics. I guess its because their RTS games but when I look at them you can just see the incredible detail put into the game. With all the units on screen and how detailed the characters are just amazes me. WiC is really special by how much detail is put into everything. The effects and textures work are insanely good for an RTS. It could be me really. I don't find Crysis to be a average looking game. Its the best of its kind really. But I felt like Wic and CoH are what really made me go "Wow."

Anyone have similar feelings?

Well, I don't know any game that'd be more impressive graphically. I guess you haven't seen it in it's full glory. And the games almost "old" already =)

Trust me I have been playing with the Ultra High config which makes the game looks alot better. Its looks great it just didn't impact me in a way. And Crysis isn't "old" just because it came out about a year and a half ago dosen't make it "old"

Okay, go on.

I absolutely agree interiors look terrible. Then again, I've only played on high.

Well, I think that the best of Crysis aren't the graphics, but the physics, they work very well in firefights, although they only work with those houses made of metal plates, those thin trees and the plants. It would be good if all kinds of structure would fall apart, a bit like Red Faction

Install the Triple "C" mod. Looks amazing. Some of the textures on buildings don't look that great. My best experience was in multiplayer as US; you have to dive out of a sub to start. Looked fantastic.

CoH doesn't look that great, but I agree with you on WiC. I love in WiC that you can zoom in and listen to the chatter of the units. Damage on units. Player Icon on some units. Destructable ground looks great as well. Simply an amazing game.

no they wowed me, especially modded up, cant see how they could be considered anything other than impressive

Install the Triple "C" mod. Looks amazing.

Neither WiC nor CoH look nearly as good as Crysis with Triple C. RTSs are an unfair comparison though. I do think WiC is very impressive for an RTS. A lot of detail put into the game.

I found the new PoP graphics amazing and that's on medium. But I have to admit Crysis did look fantastic.

Really? Please do name some =p (not being sarcastic here, really I want to know!)

Its all in the Colours.

The Artists wen't for realism and used realistic texturees/colours. Warhead although less techniqually impressive as Crysis it had a bigger wow factor because of the art direction. They used more intensive colours and colours that complimented each other rather than what you would find in real life.

The UT3 engine is another fine example of this. Games like Mass Effect can wow a user because of the colours and level design. UT3 actually didn't look that impressive compared although they are using the same technology.

You find WIC impressive and not Crysis though? wtf, WIC has boxy little building that are nothing more than a tectured mesh. The units are cloned and the effects are dated?

Your Mad.

No game has beaten Crysis on technical level, but i believe Red Faction Guerilla will give it a run for it's money

For those who dont know what this game is, Project offset was orignially a DX11 engine, hard to find the true story abouthow this engine came to be but i was good friends with one of the programmers. anyway you will see them use DX10 but it seems like they plan tomove toDX11, this engine was out years before crysis was finished. Was created by 2 programmers and 1 artist.I believe back in 2004 and still remains to be far ahead of anything atm. checkout videoshttp://www.projectoffset.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=58&Itemid=12

They only failed in animations.

Other than that, it's almost photorealistic.

Maybe you don't like the art sty1e. Realism isn't THAT amazing.

Nothing has really even been shown of Offset...and what we have seen is pretty much tech demos. Lets see the game actually come out and in action before claiming it's superior to any other game.

To the topic...Crysis has the best graphics on the market today...on a technical level...you simply don't like the art **** which is fine but don't confuse the two.

Red Faction looks terrible....

As far as Crysis is concerned... it sounds like they're playing Warhead, which is still better than all games out there atm, but I feel that the original Crysis was noticeably better looking. A lot of the newer games today add a bunch of flash and stuff that looks pleasing to the eye on the surface level, but once you get to the details of it it's far less intricate then Crysis. Also, the detail of distant objects is fricking amazing, that's where the resource hog come into play, those mountains that are half a mile away and you can still see individual leaves.

I would think the only game that is out on the market that comes close is the Stalker games. Haven't played WiC yet.

:lol::lol::lol::lol: Wait......you were serious? :?

Red Faction Guerrilla owns every other game regarding physics.

I agree RFG looks a bit strange. I don't have a console, but even the videos have this... floaty feel.

On the other hand, having such a gigantic amount of objects flying around without boiling the 360's processor is an amazing accomplishment.

Compare that to the CryEngine 3 video, where the framerate was abysmal when just shooting a bloody tree:|

When the graphics get to a certain point it becomes hard to pick up the technical differences, the artstyle becomes the deciding factor. I'm thinking you just don't like the artstyle in Crysis, which I can relate to. I personally think that Zeno Clash and Stalker look more pleasing than Crysis overall, but trying to look at it objectively it's hard to come up with anything better than Crysis in its genre. mr_mozilla

Use mods if you don't like them.

... crysis has low textures :lol: good onenaval

Wait a minute - are you actually going to tell me that those textures are hi-res? Wow. Just wow.

I am trying to figure out what Charles is trying to say...but have to admit I am coming up with nothing. I was just browsing a bunch of Crysis pics and the textures look high res to me. Maybe if he could post some examples of what he is talking about it would help...

I'm still waiting... I feel like I've missed some big games here?

I haven't been wowed by a game graphically/technically since I first seen Super Mario 64 on display in 1996. Crysis looks fantastic in addition to other modern games, but graphically it's the benchmark on the market, though Crytek lacks in art direction personally. Visually Call of Duty 4, Team Fortress 2 and Gears of War were more appealing to me.

What's the best mod for making Crysis look as good as possible?

[QUOTE="pinneyapple"]

[QUOTE="Charles_Dickens"] Sorry, but I'm with the OP on this one - I could name at least a half a dozen games that are graphically superior to Crysis.Charles_Dickens

Okay, go on.

So why should I bother?

That's the reason I didn't mention the half-a-dozen games I've got on my shelf right now that have farther draw-distances, superior textures (by a country mile), and much better animations (the NPCs in Crysis look like robots). When I initially launched this title at the Enthusiast settings I honestly thought that something was wrong - obviously the game doesn't look bad, but no way is Crysis, at present, the best looking game I've ever seen. The graphics just don't justify the relatively low frame-rates - the game is not well programmed at all.

I was going to write that? You said there were better looking games I'm just interested to what games you're actually talking about. If you're going to make a statement at least back it up.

Um.....:shock: If you don't find Crysis graphic impressive, then you find no game's graphics impressive. I feel sad for you.

You can't argue with the pics:
