Game Developers Conference 2007: Crysis HD Trailer

By Slimy, 15 April 2007 - 04:35 20 comments

CryTek, the makers of the popular Far Cry, are putting together another First Person Shooter that will undoubtedly quickly become a game benchmarking standard. It will run off CryENGINE 2 technology and will of course use the advanced DirectX 10 architecture, easily making it one of the most anticipated games of this year (TBA: 2007). No, I'm not hear to tell you I have a copy, although that would be nice. A High Definition trailer has arrived for everyone to feast their eyes on. It's so breathtaking that many rigs can't even play the video, not to mention the game.

      whoa.... that's all i can say....

      My PC must be good then, i could upscale the video to my display resolution without any issues, and the 3d cube that is my desktop was still as smooth as ever. :cheeky:

      Single most interesting thing in that video for me though, was the editor, that's just plain cool.

      Looks good and I like that menu you use to change the components on your gun (youtube videos), but I hope the enemy also will have some super powers also. Reminds me of Jedi Knight 2 and Advent Rising, when you got your powers the game became a walk in the park. Jedi Knight was ok because it had enemies with lightsabers and jedi powers but Advent Rising was just numbers of hopeless enemies.

      Multiplayer should be crazy.

      Beyond insane.

      Old Video, but pretty awesome

      Whoa, for a minute there I felt like I had gone back in time. IMO the way that article was written you'd think Crysis had just been announced. :P

      Still love the video though. That nuke in the ending is awesome!

      gazooks!

    8. TokyoKiller - 15 April 2007 - 17:58

      That nuke is just WOW!

      Thanks, looks awesome!

      wat month will this be released? cant wait

    11. Digitalx - 16 April 2007 - 05:44

      simply an awesome developing tool.

      i hope you mean "here" :P

      and i think playing this video and playing the game in real-time is two different worlds:P because the game video is showcasing dx10, and i don't even have a dx10 card.

      all in all, crysis is still looking jaw dropping, cant wait:)

      There is nothing in that video that requires DX10 or Vista. Every graphical effect they showed is already in STALKER and many are in Armed Assault. Both are DX9 games.

      Realtime global illumination
      Depth of field
      Motion blur
      Day-night cycles
      HDR

      It is going to require a powerful graphics card though. Or two. As well as a dual-core CPU for the physics and streaming terrain.

      i'm not really sure, but i don't think directx 9 games like stalker and armed assault support all those breakable stuff. like that building that got trampled by that tank, those trees and shooting off the wheels on that car...
      maybe there will be a directx 9 version but those exclusive effects in directx 10 (i think) bring the game into another level of immersion, at least for me.

    things you will have great difficulty in drawing quickly and consistently on a dx9 generation hardware set will be dynamic stenciled shadows, the insane texture resolutions, the terrain draw distance, the physics on EVERYTHING like plants and building materials and the streaming land caching (no loading).

      i dont think DX10 has anything really to do with destuctible enviroment. their was a FPS game years ago that had destrucible enviroments. i dont remember the name but your where a miner on Mars or something.

      however, dx10 does have a lot to do with dynamic shadows, lighting, bump mapping and most of the visual aspects of the game.

      Newsflash Crysis on DX9 as well! You wont need to upgrade!

      do you just want to play through the game and experience the story line? or do you want something even comparable to the video you just watched? their is a great void of difference between playing the game, and experiencing the game.

      Facial animations still aren't up to par with HL2, and that's how old now?

      When characters talk I want them to look like they're talking dammit.
