Crysis
This game looks so good, I think I'm having eyegasms. Getting a Nvidia 8800GT card with DirectX 10 for this beauty. It's time for WD to get Vista. My Nvidia 7 series card has served me well in Oblivion and BioShock, but it's time to move on.
What's cool about this game is that, like BioShock and FarCry, you have "abilities" in this game which I believe are powered by your suit. Things like cloaking, super jump, super speed, and so on. Run-and-gun be damned. You can also mod weapons in the game with different parts. Like, you could put a scope on your shotgun if you really wanted to. And I just love the vehicle physics. Multiplayer, too!

Look at the Tech Demo and the Trailer and CryEngine 2 demo. Amazing I tell you!
A simple "wow, that's amazing WD!" would suffice.

I NEED THIS GAME. Comes out November. I hope my dad gets off his lazy ass and puts in a new mobo along 8 or 9 series graphics card, I know diddly squat of how to put a computer together, and I could buy the card. I just know about parts.

You know what I think it is? They're threatened of the power of new PCs vs. the 360. :P PC's will always ALWAYS be a step ahead of consoles. No way Crysis will run right on the 360 or even the PS3, and even if they do port it it will be missing A LOT of details and particles, and the physics will probably be dumbed down.

Anyway...
Minimum:
Processor--2.8GHz or faster (XP); 3.2GHz or faster (Vista)
Memory--1GB RAM or 1.5GB RAM (Vista)
Video Card--256MB
Hard Drive--12GB
Sound Card DirectX 9.0c compatible
Recommended:
Processor--Intel Core 2 DUO @ 2.2GHz
Memory--2GB RAM
GPU--NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS/640 or similar
Hahaha! I make the cut to play Crysis, all I need is an 8800 GPU (preferably Ultra but GTX will work too) and Vista OS for desktop (I have a laptop version) to meet recommended, then it's sweet, sweet out of this world visuals.

The best, fastest, crazyass mo'fo' graphics card I could find: EVGA GeForce 8800 Ultra 768MB
Buy three of those and a three way SLi connector, and you'll have the craziest ass GPU setup in all of North America.

In the 8800 series there's the 8800GTS, the 8800GTX, and then there's the 8800GT that comes out on Oct. 29th I believe. I've read that the 8800GT is a fill in between 8800GTS and the 8800GTX, but I've also heard that the 8800GT is a fill in between 8600GT and the 8800GTS

I'm pretty sure it's the fill in for the 8600GT to the 8800GTS. The 8800GTS's usually run $250-$400 depending on stats and brand (quality). Plus, GeForce's chips usually go in order from least powerful in the series to most: GT,GTS,GTX,Ultra. The 8800GTX's and Ultra's are the only ones that can run in tripple SLi mode, but I don't think that you'll need that much power, or even want to pay for it. :P It's more for those people who're glued to their PC desk day and night. Or for those people with WAY too much money in their pockets.

And I'm not sure if a dual core 1.8 (dad's or sister's laptop) will work either, though it should. Either way, I doubt I'll et to try it. My dad would kill me if he saw me laying a computer game on his laptop, nd he'd kill me if I touched my sister's without her permission. And I KNOW she won't let me.
Good news is, though, I've got fiber optics, so the download should be fairly quick. I usually average 1.5MBps ( about 12000Kbps or 12Mbps)
[EDIT] Plus I'm only running a GeForce 2 series. However, I know my sister has a GeForce Go 6200. Don't know anything beyond that. So yeah, this kinda sucks. But my mom's been interested in upgradeing the PC for media purposes, so i I can find a good GeForce 7series card for less than $75, I'll have that covered.

Scratch that. Found a proscessor and a promising socket adapter for about $15 a piece on ebay. Both in perfect working condition. Plus, the proscessor runs at 2.8Ghz. =D Unfortunatey, finding a good videocard for $100 or less is neither easy nor fun.

And Caael, a 7600 should do fine. The minimum asks for a 6800, so I think a 7600 should work.
And WD, instead of getting an 8800GT, consider the GTS. I found some on NewEgg for $295, and one was even stock overclocked. The average price I saw for the GT was about $300, so your probably better off going with the GTS. Unless ou don't want it stealing an extra PCI slot. Then get the GT.

In the beginning, you could choose your method of approach to the situations you were faced with. You're approaching a Korean base. Find a hill, use your binocs to look at the area. You have an SMG, and you could put a Sniper Scope on it and a Silencer with a tactical attachement to make your SMG semiautomatic to increase accuracy, making your SMG a potentially deadly sniper. (it's possible, I've done it) Use Strength Mode to have a steadier grip on your SMG and reduce recoil. But why not instead use Stealth Mode and go up that tower and silently kill the sniper in there to get a proper, REAL sniper? But what if using Cloak causes your suit to run out of energy before you get there? There's a Humvee nearby, you could take that, drive straight into the base at 40 MPH and right in the middle of the base where there's a lot of infantry, hop out, and shoot the back of the Humvee where the gas tank is and make it explode all over the infantry. But there's a lot of room for mistakes in that plan.
In the last 1/3 of the game, there's none of that. It's just run through and shoot aliens. If this was any other game, I would've let it slide, but when a game starts as strong and pulled through as strong as Crysis did, I feel a bit left down by the way it ended. It's almost like Crytek was running out of time or something. I still have Multiplayer to go through at least, and you know I'm going to be playing the game through up until the aliens. Shooting Koreans is just more fun.
And there will be a Crysis 2.

I'm getting better at multiplayer. Though it always annoys the hell out of me when I'm in a bunker buying some new weapons, and then somebody runs in and punches me in Strength Mode. (which is an instant kill) It seems waay too easy to punch somebody. Makes other close range weapons pretty much worthless.
#74
Posted 21 November 2007 - 06:05 PM
Also, people seem to favor going on the US side in multiplayer. There was once a time where there were like, 6 people on the US side and only 2 on the Korean side. Damn nationalist Americans...

[EDIT] The 7950GT AGP is te best card I can get for my PC. The 6800XT AGP is the best thing I could find that would fit my PC and still be within $100. I can barely stretch the budget to the 7800GS AGP's price, but I don't know if it outperforms the 6800 (for sure, at least) though I assume that it does.

So, no, Crysis isn't a revolutionary FPS in terms of gameplay, but Crysis is a revolutionary for games as a whole on technical terms. If anything, Crysis a tech demo (a very fun demo) of what games will become in the next years. The physics are remarkable in this game, everything interacts with you. The AI is a little clunky at times, but that's forgivable if you take into account that the AI is genius at it's best. The enemy actually does a great job of throwing grenades when you think you're safe behind cover, they flank you, they even get confused when you cloak from a distance and will shoot where they last saw you.
#91
Posted 01 December 2007 - 07:15 PM
I wont be getting Crysis for a while, but it's just as well as if I bought it now, it would only just run on my card. So WD, you'll have to keep playing strangers for a while.

On a side note, my friend got oblivion for the PC from a friend, and let me fool around with it on my PC because he couldn't get it to work on his. I haven't tried playing it yet, but my graphics card sucks balls, so I won't be surprised if the graphics are sub-par.

#94
Posted 01 December 2007 - 11:22 PM
Basically, if there's something you don't like Oblivion (and you'll find one) chances are there's a mod that fixes or changes it. Take the leveling sytem for example. Oblivion has a leveling system so that monsters are always the same difficulty when you level up. You'll never come across a fight that's too hard, or a fight that's too easy. There are mods that take the leveling system away and make a more static world.
Really, buy Oblivion on the PC. You're a fool if you buy it for the 360 when your computer exceeds minimum specs, and if you're concerned about graphics, there are mods that help to make it look better with low settings, such as lower-poly grass.

I was approaching a smaller KPA outpost in a Humvee. There was a sloped rock nearby so I ramped it and bailed out of the car. Apparently the KPA who were occupying the outpost didn't see me bail out and thought I was still in the car when it hit the ground. So I was in cloak mode and watched the KPA repeatedly shoot the Humvee thinking that I was still inside of it. One of them had the bright idea to throw a frag grenade at it. The car exploded and a healthy sum of the KPA perished with it.

Caael, cloaking is your friend. You can't just run up and expect to take on a full army like in most shooters. Here's a strategy for you, run behind something like a big rock, let your suit energy charge some, go into cloak and sneak somewhere else. The enemy will still think you're behind that rock, and this gives you an advantage. In a way, cloaking was overpowered in this game.

This game
is awesome.
The interactivity is just phenomenal. You can shoot trees down, and depending on where you shoot them, where they'll fall. I was shooting birds and it plummeted down, hitting another bird as well. You can interact with just about anything. It's amazing.
#111
Posted 07 December 2007 - 08:41 PM
Also Caael, if you didn't notice the cross-hair is dynamic and becomes bigger (and therefore, more difficult to aim) depending on how fast you're moving. This could be why you can't get headshots. It LOOKS like you're aiming at their head but really your bullets are spraying everywhere but their head. The cross-hair is biggest while sprinting, running, and jumping. Try crouching or going prone whilst behind something to pick off the enemy while the cross-hair is small.
Also, maybe your shot hit their helmet...
#112
Posted 08 December 2007 - 03:23 AM
Nah, I completed the demo on thursday. I couldn't believe how much stealth is involved. It's nothing like Halo where its a massive gun battle, because in Crysis, if you stay in the firing line for longer than about 3 seconds, you're dead.
I do love this game though. And there's so many ways to do things. I made a tree fall on a car that was coming along, causing it to spin out. I threw a saucepan at somebody and killed them. The interactivity is amazing, and theres so many ways you can do something. Theres this part where 2 soldiers are hiding behind trees, waiting to kill you, but you can run up a cliff to the side and push logs on them to flush them out and kill them.
I noticed the crosshair thing, it's pretty clever. But I dont go running around trying to score headshots, i'll hide behind a rock with cloak on, line up the shot, shoot and then duck, wait for cloak to recharge, and if I missed, shoot again, or find somebody else to shoot.
And i've never been able to shoot out the tires of a truck on another game. That's another feature, the vehicles. I've only driven 2 (The truck and the boat) but they're so realistic. If you're sitting in the ****pit view, everything looks so real and you really feel you are actually driving it. But boats are a ******* while you're running around on shore, and they're always shooting at you. But the car gun is most effective at it.
The customization of the weapons is really cool as well, there's so much you can do with your different guns. The guns are also pretty cool. I only got to play with 4 ( Pistol, 2 machine guns and a shotgun) but they are oh so satisfacting when you shoot people with them.
I need this game. I've played the first level and i'm in love with it.

This setting controls the impact of physics on the game world. The higher the setting, the more interactive and realistic the game world will be, and in turn the more gameplay options you will have available to you when determining things like combat strategy. The most significant impacts of this setting at each level below Very High are:
# High: Slight reduction in some breakage effects, and the amount of vegetation affected by wind.
# Medium: Further reduction in some breakage effects, and a reduction in the amount of distant vegetation affected both by wind and general physics
# Low: Significant reduction in realism - no longer are you able to break objects or buildings, even when using weaponry, and most vegetation will no longer be affected by wind, nor will move when brushed against or shot, though you can still cut down trees. This reduction in physics has an important impact on Crysis gameplay, and it is strongly recommended that you do not use Low physics for this reason.
Unless lots of stuff is being blowed up at the same time, I doubt you'll notice a big performance difference with physics on high. Have tried lowering your resolution as well?

There was only one part of the video where they glitched like that. Other video games that have lots of physics objects moving at the same time and close to each other have this problem as well. Given that there were lots of objects moving at the same time, and only two of the (large) panels did this out of maybe more than 100 objects moving at the same time, I think it's impressive compared to other games where they would start twitching for no apparent reason. (I'm looking at you, Oblivion)
As PDM would say, less qq more pewpew.

But the gameplay was awesome. It's a LOT harder than Halo or GoW or CoD, or anything like that. The AI is top notch. It took me a while just to get to the third or fourth checkpoint. But you just have to realise that this ISN'T a run-in-and-shoot-everything kind of game. It's an "observe from afar, move in, strike, and take cover" kind of game. If you just run in, you'll get butt raped by crazy monks on acid every time.
It's fun though. I wish I had a computer of my own that could run it. D:

Crysis looks butt-ugly without at least High shaders and medium shadows IMO and whatever setting applies to vegetation. The rest of the settings are extra eye-candy, and while nice, they aren't needed, but hey, it gives more immersion.
Crysis patch 1.1 was released recently! If your friend has the full version, tell him to download it Toasty.

Well, to tell you the truth, I've never exactly been a "pro" at shooters. The first and second fire fights you encounter were the hardest for me. I just got lucky in the first one and they kinda just came up the hill on the left one at a time, and I got head shots easy on them all. And tranks are fun. :P Especially since they're unlimited. Makes things a LOT easier imo.
As for the graphics, I don't spend a lot of time looking at realistic graphics in games, so Crysis looks awesome even with all low settings.

But dude, Crysis. is. AWESOME. Just finished the first mission today. It's actually pretty easy to get headshots, but tranks really, REALLY come in handy. One hit anywhere on the enemy takes them down long enough to get up to them and kill 'em, or to at least stop them from shooting at you for a while.

And if there is only one guy you might as well cloak, grab him by the neck, and melee for insta kill.

Anyway, what's in the patch? My friend won't use it if it's got bug fixes because he likes to exploit games.

The Cryengine is the Physics engine use in Crysis. It's a program in the game of sorts that uses complex algorithms to calculate how far something flies/how big an explosion, how certain objects fall/etc.

No, the PS3 can't. Not enough RAM.
And if you put the Crysis disk on top of the Wii I think you can safely say that Crysis is on the Wii. =D
And CryEngine 2 is more than just a physics engine. It makes the whole damn game play. Most games use more than one engine for each part of the game. Half Life 2 uses the Source engine for graphics and play, but also uses Havok for the physics. At least that's what I understand. CryEngine 2 is the only engine used in Crysis.
And CryEngine 2 is being/has been optimized for PS3. No word on 360 as far as I know.
#161
Posted 14 January 2008 - 11:16 PM
And yeah, I think that's about as close to Crysis being on the Wii as anyone will get. =P
Pretty much every game has some level of a physics engine though. There HAS to be SOMETHING in the game's code that determines what falls where and whatnot. Though not all require one I'd say. Like most handheld games, and many strategy games.

Well, I'll admit my breath was baited a bit there. And whoop-dee-****ing-doo! It looks like he didn't totally hate the game. Bit hard to tell between the British humour. I don't think he talked about one of my favorite things about the game, though, and that's the weapon customization. But then, when you don't really review games I guess you don't have to talk about all the little bits that make it good.

My friend just found a REALLY good program that'll only drop your FPS by about 10. I'll ask him for the installer.

Honestly, the multiplayer isn't all that great. You can't destroy buildings or blow up gas cans or anything like that. However, the vehicles can explode.
The single player in this is awesome, so even thoguh you prefer multiplayer, I think you'll like it. But the multiplayer leaves a bit to be desired in my opinion.

Yeah multiplayer in Crysis isn't that great. But you're missing a lot if you exclusively play FPS for multiplayer, so for that reason I'm recommending you pick up Crysis anyway.

On the Crysis shortcut, go to it's properties, click on the Shortcut tab, and in the "Target" section add -devmode to the end of it.
It enables developer mode. Start Crysis from the shortcut and load a map like normal. Press F1 and you can get a 3rd person camera which is really cool although it's no good for shooting. But Nomad's animation is really cool and realistic, he has a center of gravity for his turns and jumps. If you want it to go back to normal just delete the -devmode from the shortcut.

Unless another engine comes out that's has more or most of the stuff CryEngine2 has and is better optimised, I see CryEngine2 taking shooters and other games by storm within a year or two.
