Doesnt crysis seem a bit rediculous?

ryane24 · 03-07-2008, 01:59 PM

For example, with my computer i can run crysis half very high and half high settings and get about 25 FPS. If you consider that i can run UT3 everything on high and it gets like 4 to 5 times the FPS, doesnt crysis seem a little bit rediculous? the graphics arent THAT much better that UT3, same goes for games like Call Of Duty 4. Im just hoping that we can see graphics like crysis in the future and not have to have a nuclear reactor to get above 40 FPS.

I know where you're coming from. It's lazy programming in a lot of cases. Go back 10 or 15 years and programmers had very little power to work with, so they got around it with clever but simply ideas. Now it seems to be case of 'it'll do' and if a bit of code slows things down a bit it doesn't matter, the computer's got enough power.

They could've probably got Crysis running at huge fps at highish details on their minimum required system if they could be bothered...

Yeah, thats exactly what im talking about. lol, not that i could code any better.

I think another problem is that the game is having to run so many detailed models.

crysis is a technological showcase and nothing more. The gameplay is completely run of the mill and the ai is unimpressive as well. There are much better looking games out there that don't require anywhere near the power crysis does.

You have to love the voice acting of the koreans lol. I noticed the same thing in farcry, the voice acting is pretty bad.

not to mention the entire army seems to have three different faces and they have a shared vocabulary of about fifty words. I laughed at pcgamer when they gave it game of the year especially since it was released the same year as cod4 and bioshock. Crysis isn't half the game those are

still, I found Crysis to have a much better replay value than both, bioshock and CoD4.
(CoD4 lost its 'heroic' feeling like 1 and 2 did, iks kinda a pity)

either way, yea, I think they could have optimized Crysis a bit better. still I think its physics surpass everything I've seen in any other game so far, and like said, I really enjoy playing it. everyone their own I suppose

HAHAHA i like that. But you make a good point Crysis is so demanding. But they may have done that for those extreme gamers who WILL update there computers and get those nuclear reactors just to make there gameplay at the best it can be.

It obviously wasn't a mistake, they made it so demanding on purpose to get you to blow 400USD+ on a new graphics card (or two, or three).

No joke.
