Crysis, is it still the hardest game on your system?

[troyrae360]

Are there any new games that work your system more than Crysis

 

[erocker]

GTA IV does a good job at bringing most systems to it's knees.

 

[troyrae360]

Sweet, i might have to give it a go,
whats the gameplay like? ive never liked previous versions

 

[erocker]

Gameplay is pretty much the same. I didn't mind it though, it was fun.

 

[oli_ramsay]

One of the most taxing, but for a very good reason:

and that reason is that it's poorly coded ;p

 

[troyrae360]

your probley right, crysis just had the option to get the most out of your system,
what i ment is there a game that will make me wanna run out and upgrade me CPU or Graphics card just so i can set all options to high/ultra etc....

 

[troyrae360]

Thats What im talking about Ramsey!!

most games, i just never liked the earler vesions of GTA for 2 reasons, crapy grafix and bad/piontless gameplay
i would try the new one, but no way would i buy it unless theyve upped the gameplay on it

Yeah quake 1 is pretty intense my 4870x2 can't handle it.

So how do you know which is new and which is old?

Sorry if I'm stupid, but why does your Crysis look so much gooder than mine (when I had a GTX 280)?

 

[v12dock]

World of Warcraft, dalaran high pop server max settings.. you would be surprised

Because that's not Crysis in game. And, I honestly don't see the point if it's not something we can use. From what someone posted, extensive commands were used for different renderer effects. To get shots like that you will probably need access to the full engine editor.

Be that as it may, the IQ isn't what makes the game. It's the:
-storyline
-game play mechanics
-etc

I guess in short I judge How old a game is buy the Date its released

 

[EastCoasthandle]

Then which genre do you have a preference for right now?

 

[Frizz]

I don't know my system can't handle both, I best stick to world of goo til I can get a gtx295 or 4870x2 ...

I don't recall crysis looking that pretty... even on all very high.

 

[troyrae360]

ill load crysis and grab a screen shot

Just with Time of day mods and some have texture mods.

What are you speaking of? I didn't say their weren't from the game how else would they be screenshot. This was discussed in another forum (before it was locked ) and it's not something folk will see when playing the game. Again, from what I've read some sort of extensive commands were used for different renderer effects (dynamic and advanced ToD system or something like that) were you may need full access to the editor. And if you take notice, there is no link to download and try this for ourselves in the link you provided. However, if you do find some sort of mod that will allow this by all means let us know.

From what im hearing GTA IV is one of the worst in terms of system performance. But Crysis is still notorious for being hard to run.

 

[HammerON]

Well, I haven't played GTA IV (only FPS games) but CRYSIS is still a good measure of a systems capabilities. The original Far Cry was used to measure a systems capabilities and was used for several years. I am thinking that CRYSIS and CRYSIS Warhead will be used for awhile.
I was hoping that FEAR 2 would be tough on my system like the original FEAR was. However it is not as I played through the game with everything maxed-out.
My 2cents

 

[troyrae360]

here, i just grabed 2 Screen shots, of course there much better shots, but that would require playing for abit longer, anwway here they are im pretty sure you can mod the game for the ULTRA settings. this screanshot is 1920x1080 very high 8xaa

I dunno what mods/skins were used in the screenies, but I'm trying this "natural" mod which changes ToD settings to make it look realistic. I also use an extreme quality config from here:
