All on high in DX9, no AA. Hope you like them.

Am I the only one on the net who gets a 'meh' reaction to crysis? somehow doesn't seem much new than farcry or any of the other generic shooters from years past.

Well, it is basically Far Cry on steroids, minus the mutants, and a little bit of Call of Duty thrown in. It's nothing ground breaking, gameplay wise, although the nano suit is great.

It's stunning ... great shots mate ... :D

Although screenshots don't really do it justice as it is so much better in motion.

Amen to that.

Gameplay wise the only two things that I think it really adds are the nano suit and the fact that you can alter weapons quickly while you're playing.

Engine and graphics wise, it is insane.

Nope, you're not the only one mate... That nano schmano suit is just to console for my liking. Really REALLY puts me off.....

Actually I was planning on replacing my aging 939 parts for shiny new core2 parts but right now, it makes no sense for me to do so. UT3 ran like butter, even after I fixed the noAA part, I'm pretty sure crysis will be the same (can't get it atm, almost overloaded my monthly cap), and there aren't ANY games announced for next 2 years that are remotely interesting to me. I'd get a console but of the 2 games I had hopes for, one isn't released till next year (burnout paradise) and the other is plain uncontrollable (lair). Add to that that I wouldn't touch the 40/60/80gb edition with a 10 foot pole due to overpriced and wi-fi breach problems, I'm a gamer without a game or platform.

Some shots with the DX10 stuff enabled in xp ... it is of course unplayable because of the low fps ... about 1-14 ... it varies quite a bit ... :lol:
It doesn't look that much better than high settings with the couple of tweaks I outlined here ... http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/node/8318#comment-163195

where did you find the sniper scope?

Post by **Paddy the Wak** » 31 Oct 2007, 18:42

Right on the first beach ... I edited the game with the editor ... :D

redgun · Post by **redgun** » 31 Oct 2007, 20:23

yeah, i found out myself. hurrican & tacgun are fun too.
the dsg1 is awesome but the scope is a bit :roll:

... but the scope is a bit :roll:

What does that mean ?

redgun · Post by **redgun** » 01 Nov 2007, 10:34

a pain in the ass to aim with it proberly. aiming with the assault scope (which should be an ACOG, i guess) is easier for me.

Post by **Paddy the Wak** » 01 Nov 2007, 11:16

Oh ... I think it is great ...
Why is it a pain in the ass to aim with ... ?

green crosshairs on a green background don't work especially well for me.
and it seems that the green on isn't fixed to the rest of the scope.

haha, i just found out that you could commit suicide with a tree. :shock: :lol:

by, now i like the mouse system too. it would be a little bit better if you could switch through the modes with the mousewhell one you are in the menu.

Post by **Paddy the Wak** » 01 Nov 2007, 21:41

I can't say I even noticed the crosshair color ... :mrgreen:
You know you can change it by changing the HUD colour in the video options ?

Ok... I've gotten Crysis and installed it, but I don't see any of the surround resolutions available. The maxtor SGU specifically says that Crysis has native support but I fail to see it as an option. Even after adding the patch I only see the typical 4:3 and 16:9 resolutions.

Am I missing something? Any advice?

Post by **Paddy the Wak** » 04 Mar 2008, 09:52

Dunno what to say bud ... my TH resolutions were there first time I fired the game up.

Same here, the options were there ready for me.
