Crysis 3 Open Beta starting Jan 29th

Man, I have no idea why the performance/resolution is worse than Crysis 2 was (on PS3). It seems like visually the game was downgraded in every way possible and no improvements have been made. I hope SP looks better.

Still, I can appreciate the wider FoV and actual recoil this time. I was just hoping for some more eye candy. I'm still getting this day 1 since 2 is my favorite FPS this gen but it's disappointing from a technical standpoint.
Disappointing. :( In a way I was kind of expecting this but I really thought they would try to optimize the game a little better for PS3 (I have no 360 so I can't compare).

I hope it's because it's a multiplayer beta. Because when I first tried out Crysis 2 on my PS3 I was pretty blown away. This beta looks far worse however.
 
If you are in a squad (Party) when you are matchmaking you have access to squad challenges which have high xp bonuses.

Anyone averaging ~5-10k XP a match wanna join me and reboot-nanosuits/prestige a couple times? I am on 4.5 prestiges right now.

My GT is Vlad356, Ill be on all day tomorrow. I am really enjoying this game, been playing it for 3 and a half hours now.
 
Well then they should take out Multi and just focus on Single. Let Dice focus on Multi with BF4.
EA aren't forcing Crytek to put MP in the game, Crytek themselves have been obsessed with beating COD since Crysis Warhead (Crysis 1 was obsessed with beating Battlefield).

Plus this is EA partners, so EA can't dictate anything to Crytek.
 
Ahahahaha. If you don't use your swarmer, they remind you that its available every time you respawn.
However, the announcer gets more and more frustrated and aggresive with you with every additional spawn!

But seriously, fuck the swarmmer. that thing needs a buff or needs to be used with the suit module that wont make it slow you down. There's no alt fire even! The alien weapons on the map are better than that thing.

Man you ain't kidding. This game looks absolutely horrendous on PS3.
 
Having so much fun with this game. Nearly shut out a team on Crash Site, I got all the points for my team except like 5.

Grafics r awesome too.
 
Has anyone tried using an Xbox 360 controller with the PC version in a online match?

Can you please tell me if there is aim assist like there was in the previous beta?

I was playing with Motioninjoy Xbox 360 controller emulator with my Ps3 controller and didn't notice any aim assist, but perhpas there could be a slight amount. It's fun using the controller when the game runs around 45-50 fps. Mostly getting around 35-40 fps with everything maxed.

Core i7 3700
EVGA GTX 670 FTW
1080P
 
Is there some kind of filter on in the PC version? Maybe it's just my machine. Look down the sights in the Assault class...is there like a red out line around the red dot for anybody else? It's really bothering me. I'm running MSAA Med (4x)....
 
Surprise to see the beta on PSN today. Will try to play it in the next couple days but I'm weary of trying to play this game on my stock Alienware X51.
 
Holy shit at the PS3 version. Looks awful.

Anyway, played with some friends tonight, had a blast. Love the crazy pace game can hit sometimes.

Not unexpected at all. Still sad that Crytek have made no effort on PS3, it's like they don't even care.

What? Crysis 3 beta on PS3 looks and runs better than Crysis 2. Resolution looks very low but everything else looks nice.
 
Crysis 2 looked absolutely atrocious on PS3 so this is no surprise. I've always found playing Crytek games on console a waste of time since the games are nothing special at all with the graphics.
 
There's some filter or some sort that's very offputting on the image. UI needs work too. Twice now I've mistakenly identified an enemy as an ally because the nametags don't account for distance very well.

Not to mention the UI engulfs half the screen.

Yes, that should be around 20-30% smaller. Ideally with the option to go as small as 50%. I'm playing on the PS3 and it's a mess.

Shame, the actual game is fantastic (air stomp is a bit OP), but things like that are going to hurt it among the CoD crowd who expect good image quality.

They seems mostly the same, but PS3 seems to have a little lower resolution. More PS3 shots: http://imgur.com/a/lKp2t#0

The FX6100.

Its 6 core CPU, its should work flawless.

Depends on the game. AMD's speed per matching core is roughly 40% slower than Intel.
If AMD's speed is not adequate, it can be very noticeable, though it doesn't crop up too often outside of RTS/MMO.

Either way it should run ok. Update to the new AMD drivers.
 
It has its moments. A nicely placed emp grenade, then a kill feels pretty good.

Honestly, I don't like it. The gameplay is more suited to faster pace action with the suit. I have far more enjoyment crossing the upper portion of Museum and doing an air stomp or firing a rocket in.

Also got a new-found appreciation for Crash Site.
 
Is something wrong with my PC. I know my old build is pretty crap by todays standards, but damn, set everything to low, resolution to 1280x720 and can barely get 15fps. I play most new games at medium and get good framerate ;_;. Oh well 1 more day then I can play!

E8400, gtx560, 4gb ram.

Your CPU is rather dated, and Crysis 3 is a very CPU heavy game. The E8400 is from... 2009?
