So consistently scoring 8/10 or over in all of your games is considered 'mediocre' now?

Where are you getting a consistent 8/10??

Several reputable gaming publications gave C3 7's and lower. Polygon and Edge to name a couple. Sesslers review was pretty middling as well.

Aside from the visuals there's nothing particularly remarkable about C3, at least that was the consensus I came away with.

What edge gave it a 6 and kotaku said no...

Average scores from Metacritic and Gamerankings. Is there a better way to gather that?

Metacritic:
Far Cry - 89%
Crysis - 91%
Crysis Warhead - 84%
Crysis 2 - 85%
Crysis 3 - 80%

Gamerankings:
Far Cry - 89%
Crysis - 90%
Crysis Warhead - 85%
Crysis 2 - 85%
Crysis 3 - 79%

Looks pretty consistent to me, unless you think a single below average game means they're going to start churning out mediocre games in the future.

Ok Crytek, I'm ready to eat.

I probably said stupid not in this thread but in others im really shocked and hyped 8gb gddr5.

The only consistent thing here is the games quality has gotten poorer with each subsequent release.

 

[zoukka]

yeah, Avatar graphics or bust.

I just want them to shut the fuck up and focus on game development :b

How the slightly declining quality of sequels in a series means that Crytek's future games will be forever tainted with mediocrity is beyond me, but alright.

They do have that MS exclusive Ryse game and they're working on Homefront 2 so we' ll see I guess.

 

[itsgreen]

I love OP, 'Lol, good one Crytek XD'

 

[Corky]

So crytek wants consoles to be as powerful as top of the line pcs, so they can make better games for these top of the line pcs...errr I mean consoles?

Don't know what to make of this quote, but if I was belittling the prospect of 8gb consoles then serve me up a nice dish of freshly cooked crow.

Get to the back of the line. Boy its getting crowded in here.

 

[GarthVaderUK]

Hah, amazing scenes.

 

[Dennis]

Do you mean this post?

I hate you now.

 

[Respawn]

Bless the chips.

 

[charsace]

I was one of the few people that thought they would have 4-8gb of ram in next gen consoles. Pay me.

 

[Red]

I'm loving this crow guys. Join in, there's enough for everyone.

I am glad to see the way Sony has mixed things up this go around.

 

[Diablohead]

8GB is great however how much of that is reserved for the OS and background recording, we don't know yet.

 

[legacyzero]

8 gb. Wow. I wonder if MS is going for the same number?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

You know what; I'm glad Crytek was very vocal about it, and I'm glad Sony is taking input from developers. It's a win-win for everyone.

I wasn't a believer but now I am and I'm loving it!

 

[ComputerMKII]

No way that's happening. I'll be shocked if we get more than two gigs of RAM.

Shocked yet?

 

[lantus]

It can't be worse than running windows and other programs on a pc I imagine.

 

[itsgreen]

8GB for 720 is expected... but it's also expected to be DDR3...

The question will be if MS will up their DDR3 to 12 or something AND/OR are able to expand their ESRAM

It's fast ram so they could probably spare a lot without the visuals suffering.

 

[Rootbeer]

This thread sure has been entertaining in retrospect.

 

[iNvid02]

i think 4GB would be perfect, but they'll probably settle for 2GB.
or make it upgradeable somehow like the hdd

you stupid son of a bitch

 

[yogloo]

Feast of crows in this thread.

 

[Nibel]

you stupid son of a bitch

:lol

Dat backfire

 

[we.are.the.armada]

Haha, this is amazing! <3 NeoGAF

 

[GoddyofAus]

I feel vindicated now. I didn't post in this thread because I figured assuming anything about the specs of next gen was asking for trouble.

 

[xenist]

Damn, and here I thought that the people that actually make games really knew less than random people on GAF.

 

[Az]

Funny stuff . But it's not the first or last time this will happen.

 

[shinobi602]

Lol, touche.

 

[MikeE21286]

Glad I stayed out of this thread 2 years ago :lol

Surely crow would have been dished out had I posted in it.

 

[Haunted]

good guy crytek

 

[Dance Inferno]

Heh.

 

[Sid]

Nice thread,good going Sony.

 

[Clevinger]

it's never felt so good to be wrong

 

[Insane Metal]

you stupid son of a bitch

Hahahaha that's funny

 

[shinobi602]

They might be thinking way down the line. For example, if Sony and MS's next console hit in 2013, they'll last maybe up until 2019-2020.

Who knows what kind of memory games that far down will take...

Aha! Looks like I did try to save my ass a bit somewhat a few posts down.

 

[dankir]

They want 8GB of RAM in next gen consoles?
I want to make a threesome with Scarlet Johanson and Iga Wyrwal, something more realistic.

Best "foot in your mouth" comment ever.

lol

 

[McLovin]

you stupid son of a bitch

LoL

 

[Appollowexx]

Heh.

Haha, well played.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

Best bump ever

lol at the early post

Lol, no offense but a publication being 'reputable' is a completely subjective thing. It's all opinion in the end, don't get insulted if people don't agree with your opinion and vice versa.

 

[plainr_]

Hmm. According to my subscriptions page, I replied in this very thread. Can't seem to find my post though. Will be interesting to see what I posted.

 

[Damon Bennet]

I really love all the "lol they be trolling hard" "i really bust out laughing reading this" comments from the first pages

 

[legacyzero]

you stupid son of a bitch

Man who put foot in mouth, taste defeat.

 

[Kurdel]

This thread is awesome, and the responses on the last page are hilarious!

 

[ZZMitch]

This is great. I remember this thread, don't think I posted in it though!

 

[metalslimer]

One of the biggest crow eating threads of all time.
