I have just subscribed to FIleplanet for 1 month :-) in the case 2nd batch would require subscription. I hope I will get a key.

This was the first time that I was really glad to have become a 'Founder's Club' member at Fileplanet. I was lucky enough to get on the first batch. :D

Everyone....stop complaining about graphics.

1.) That is probably DX9 and all the screens you usually see are DX10.

2.) They're not going to put a heck of a lot of detailed models and bitmaps into a beta, that would just increase the download size.

1) The DX10 version doesn't look much different from the DX9 version. They have some more physics (such as the shooting down of trees) and day/night changes. Otherwise it's really still just the same. I've said it before, DX10 isn't much of a difference visually. In fact, if you put the _exact_ scenario between DX9 and DX10 in images, you probably won't be able to tell the difference.

That's mostly true for the single player, however DX10 is really shining in Multiplayer. Because of its advanced handling of physics, DX10 has the capability of having destructible environments online, where as DX9 can not, it just is not feasible because of how inefficient DX9 is. You'd need a super server with super computers, and even then it would simply lag out.

I find myself noticing the crisper shadows and the finer details in the foliage when comparing DX9 to DX10 videos. Not a huge difference visually, but the smaller details are always nice when paid attention to. :)

I've also read DX10 is supposedly more efficient all around, brining in the possibility to have higher quality graphics, more action going on, while processes remain relatively low. Cool beans.

Could we remove the video links in order not to violate the NDA Paddy? We could keep the first 3 screenshots (untill we take screens from the same location) so that we could see that it is HOR+

Yeah I agree. I will remove my quote links.

We never signed an NDA, whoever released the screens and videos did.

And removing the videos but keeping the screens, what difference would that make?, so might as well keep the lot!

Not long till the Single Player Demo anyway.

yeah that is right .. :-) why keep screens and remove videos .-)

Well, I suppose your right on that one. We didn't sign nufin.

My thoughts were more that it might be the best thing to do for Crytek, and WSGF wouldn't want not to be doing the right thing right? :wink: I guess I don't want to be seen encouraging bad behaviour...I am turning into such a parent, and I don't even have kids yet. :oops:

Someone slap the righteousness out of me PLEASE!

Just to let you know :) Crysis is HOR+, without HUD anomalies

Done ... they were not my screens or vids ...
but now that I'm in the beta and I don't want to get in trouble ... or kicked from the beta.

Now I just need to find time to play it ... I'm sooooooo busy with my work right now !

What about tallscreen support? Can't any of these game developers get it right? *sigh*
