Crysis 3 still looks better than most games

[JonDnD 2,613]

And still pushes my GPU to max in certain areas....at 1080p60 

 

Remij can you run this at 4k60?

It drops in a few areas, but it's mostly 60-70.  If I turn down the AA, then yea it's possible.

 

I told motherfuckers that C3 was still better looking than most current gen games, I think it was an argument referring to competing with Sony exclusives... but yes, I stand by it.  

 

Crytek is/was one of the most capable studios graphically.  Sucks they decided to start focusing on consoles.. they could have raised the bar even further if they had stayed focused on only PC

That's why Crytek flourished on PC... then started console development and failed and destroyed their business  

 

Idiotre

What about Hunt: Showdown? That game looks ridiculous.

Flourished on PC with nerdmits who couldn't even run their first Crysis game properly for years

This is so true though lol, it was like three hardware generations before the game could be maxed out and even then 60 FPS was a hard reach.

To get 60fps on my 1060 I had like medium settings I just tried it at ultra settings and was shocked to how good it looked.

Microsoft killed Crytek after they made Ryse: Disappointment of Rome.

Imagine if they had 100-150m budget and updated their engine

Microsoft didn't own that game, they just published it on their platform. Crytek did that to themselves.

I never understood the viewpoint of criticizing a game for raising the bar looking towards the future by offering the option to push fidelity and effects farther than the current hardware can support.  It's an argument by idiots who think that if a PC game isn't "maxed" that it's somehow a negative against the platform... despite the fact that would be still far and away the best looking/playing version.  All PC games should be developed with visual effects and options that far exceed what the current hardware is capable of.  Push LODs as far as possible, have incredibly detailed textures for everything.. have effects at really high sample rates.  

 

The technology will catch up... and the game will remain relevant and modern for longer.

The fall of Crytek is one of the sad stories of this gen

I'm criticizing the game because it's become clear that as hardware came out and time passed it wasn't just this ultra hard game to render, the engine is just very bloated in demands or lacking deep optimization. There's game engines which look nigh identical or better even yet churn out triple to quadruple the performance, it's just not a very good engine.

The first Crysis still looks better than most games (including Crysis 3).

Which game are you talking about?  C3 or C1?  Because there was no game out at the time that was even close to C1, and with regards to C3... we're still comparing games to it 6 years later...

 

The CryEngine was fine.  It's an old engine that you're comparing against new engines.   There's no game that looks better and runs at triple or quadruple the performance.

CryEngine basically in general.

Crysis has also the best story and level design. The mission midway through the game where you enter the alien structure that's built into the mountain. 

 

The whole level plays in zero gravity and you see the "real" aliens for the first time. Floating tentacle shits. god damn that level owns hard. It feels like you are somewhere else, discovering an alien civilization. 

 

 

 

I didn't even bother with 3 after crysis 2. console garbage and story was fucked
