Crysis 3

Good to see that Crysis 3 is Gaming Evolved title as well as TWIMTP.

A quote from a AMD rep in OCN :

Well at least AMD didn't get involved till after release which is what invariably happens with Nvidia money-rolled titles.

 

One of those cheap tricks to muddy the image and make it appear more realistic. Star Wars 1313 presents this as well.

 

If people are talking about it, certainly. The thing with chromatic aberration is that, if you can see it, you're doing it wrong. Real chromatic aberration is nearly invisible, and is only noticeable through very close inspection, something that certainly isn't possible in gameplay.

 

Some companies seem to forget that eyeballs aren't camera lenses or CMOS sensors. Or yeah they forget they aren't making movies (or they want to pretend they are).

 

I don't mind some visual pizzazz. Makes me know I wasn't an idiot for ploughing all that money into two high-powered video cards.

 

Alright ! So Crytek says the game runs fine on my puny ps3 but my comparatively behemoth computer is too weak to handle it ?
Stupid !

 

I watched a short cryengine tour video...and the dev explicitely stated that they go for the visor look and not the eyeball look, as it is more cinematic and people like it more. It was intentionally. And I agree to some extend, as you are wearing the nano suit with a visor. E.g. You also see the hud due to the suit, you also see how vision changes when using maximum armor functionality. I would say, that Crysis is one series, where those effects make sense.

Compare this to say BF3, where you run around as standard soldier and get all these effects+even *dirt* on your eyeball...it may be a bit to much and weird for the player, I agree.

 

Good point about the visor.

 

Ok i feel for those guys who don't have DX11 cards but seriously, If you compare Crysis 3 on PC to Consoles it looks like a solid generation difference (Launch title)

Fantastic trailer for singleplayer campaign

 

Yes, looks phantastic!

 

It doesn't even look like in game graphics anymore it looks so good. I will be super impressed if there are computers out there that can run the game looking like that at playable frame rates at 2560 x 1660 everything maxed out.

 

Here is two gameplay vids from the Swamp level [very large, and vertical]. First one is played [poorly] on IGN stream, and second one is played by none other than masterful Nanosuit Ninja!

 

It seems that there is a first review in a magazine:

If true, good news is that it got 9/10. Bad news is that review states that SP normal mode with side missions takes 5h to complete.

I would be ultimately disappointed if true...5h SP for 60Euros is not acceptable, especially factoring in the pain Origin is.

 

That is rather short and no I won't pay $60 for it. Unless it's an amazing sandbox that I can play over and over, unlike Crysis 2.

 

I still hope it is not true! Crysis 2 had a really meaty SP, which was really an outstanding feature nowadays.

With no interest in MP, I still hope that this early review is rushed and not accurate!
