those screens were concept art not screenshots from game play it was said a long time ago


Personally I don't see much innovation in the Crysis storyline at all fighting a current threat to the US?(North Korea)and then fighting aliens? I'm sure anyone here can think of about 10 games that have these elements. And so what if it got a bit more advanced every new game does I hope the designers are making them less advanced. Overall I doubt I'll buy it but if a friend gets it or if it receives outstanding reviews then I'll play it.


As far as "near-human" AI intelligence why not just play in leagues online that's in fact real world human intelligence much better than a computer in my opinion.

Yes thats true, but they also say thats what developers say it will really look like.

And as I said before, there arent any fully ready DX10 games out yet, so its hard to say what it will really look like. But DX10 has alot more possibilities beyond graphics quality.
 
You see, we all have opinions. Some of us will embrace the game, some of us wont. It's pointless to try and change each others views. In the end, lets let reviews of the game do the debating :) I understand that some of us are not of the easily entertained, and believe that all of these games seem the same, but to others, they seem a lot different. Its all on how you look at it. Me, personally, I can play almost any game and be happy. ;) and seeing as I have good hardware, I like the fact that I can be entertained with amazing graphics. Others look only to the hit games that revolutionized the industry. I guessing they look for reviews and awards. they might not like the game now, but if it is worth the hype (I think it is) then I'm sure they'll go for it. I understand. unless the game is really good and worth playing they wont like it. But they need a legit source to go by to see if it is, right? Well, give it some time and I bet it will be more than the ordinary game.

I've read somewhere that, basically, DX10 is way faster (as far as I remember, 20 times faster) than DX9 because:

DirectX9.0c : Bla>Overhead>Bla>Overhead>Bla>Overhead>Bla>Overhead
Direct10 : Bla>Bla>Bla>Bla>Bla>Bla>Bla>Bla>Overhead>Bla>Bla>Bla>Bla>Bla>Bla>Bla>Bla>Overhead

Yeah, somethin' like that

(BLA is something that I forgot.. Maybe it's 'Object')

PS: I found something about DX9 vs DX10 here.

PPS: DX10 is near real, how will DX11 look like?

The comparison of the faces is a little biased. They should have compared something like Half-life 2: Episode One (which has some of the most realitic faces I have ever seen in a game) instead of Halo 2.

NOW THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO SEE! i know there have been rumors going around that you'll need AT LEAST ONE 8800 GTS/GTX, let along 2 GIGS of ram, etc.

but from the above specs, it looks like my system will be able to handle it! the game looks siiiiiick.

in all honesty even comparing these games to a decent book is a travesty in the highest order, the script writing of these games is not even a touch on a decent author. Pick up a copy of Alastair Reynolds books and you'll see what i mean.....

Indeed.. you can compare Games and movies pretty nice tough :)
 
I don't know if this is fake or not, but I found this

But 8800GTX beats X2900xt in 3d mark :D

probably because of the amount of ram the 8800 has :) the ati card isnt that much more powerful considering it should be alot more powerful since the 8800 is out for awhile.
 
Sounds kinda fishy since the x2900's arent even out yet. And I thought I heard that they were going to have alot more then 512MB of VRAM.

Ya I think they are supposed to have 1 GB of ram I think.

I will be buying that game when it comes out whether I have a direct X 10 system or not.

X2900XT has 512MB ram

X2900XTX has 1GB ram

Both have 512-bit memory interface
 
I've been trying to get that across since I started this thread. Of course, it will be demanding in DX10, it's new, but I don't understand why you guys can't see that the DX9 is less demanding. It will be close to FEAR or Oblivion, in DX9 that is.

Here's what the detail looks like on high in DX10, it is pretty amazing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Crysisface3d.jpg, AHHHAHAHAH, I WANT IT NOW!!!!
