Crysis vs Real Life - Amazing Stuff - Page 2

Well, the Crysis engine is designed to take the full advantage of DirectX9 and to also be a DirectX 10 engine.

What you must understand though is that DirectX 10's main goal is to improve performance. It adds actually very little in the way of visual enhancments per say.

On average efficent DirectX 10 code could run around 20% faster than DirectX 9 with all other things equal. Therefore a lot of the most advanced features in the Crysis engine would only be fast enough to run under DirectX 10.

Looks Amazing! Put it on my shopping list

Eh, the graphics are pretty schwwwweeeet.

Now, how's the stability, and the all-important play balance?

Will it be silly air-powerfests like BF2? Or goofy sniperfests like COD?

Twitchfests like UT wouldn't be so bad...my money's still on QWET, even if the graphics aren't quite at that level. :P

Well, like Farcry it'll be a mostly single player game. Its more on the realistic side, with huge jungles where you cant see through.

I still think Farcry has some of the best MP

I hope they go the BF2 route for mp. Sure would be fun to have squads and vehicles in the jungle.

It's amazing to see such a high level of realism in realtime environments that even rendering software has a hard time achieving.
