When I first saw this screen in the 1fps thread, I said 'How the fuck...get out of here. all this time' out loud. Then I noticed it was photoshopped
Sounds like you have never played FEAR.
New version of Crytek's CVar config for Crysis 3 is out.

Completed it last night -- it didn't feel short at all to me, although I like to take a stealth heavy, very methodical approach.
During the first few levels I felt like the game was leagues better than Crysis 2, but I thought it lost its way toward the end. I'd probably rate it on about the same level as Crysis 2 and well short of the original. Worth my time though.

I'm not someone who constantly compares aspects of games to those who hold top tier positions but yeah FEAR shits on Crysis when it comes to that sense of immersion gained through A.I behavior. And KKRT you say you're defending the game, I've done my share of defending for C2/C3 as well as I enjoy them but some things I just can't let slide after all these years without improvement.

I believe they try to make the comparison shots as close as possible to the console versions, ie 720P, lowest AA mode, and then they post a separate grouping of PC shots at the end with the highest AA settings and in 1080P
Lens of the Truth fucked up with the X360 textures again.

Curious if its due to hdd instalation on X360? Or something wrong with theirs X360.

AAAAAAAAAH RUN IT'S THE SWAMPMONSTER!
Ballmer has been through alot.
Yeah, the main theme is mind blowing.
I agree with the policy. We all know you can get much better IQ on PC than consoles, so you want to know whether the PC outclasses the consoles in other graphical features as well.
I think I'm going to make it my ringtone, or at least wake up to it every morning .
Makes sense
Yeah, the OST for this game is phenomenal. I've been blown away almost every time it kicks in.
It was so long time ago, but i dont really remember any bigger areas in this game.
Can You explain what dont You like in C3 in terms AI? You and/or Corky? Because i've never got feedback why its bad, or average.

Patch notes mention extensive optimization for medium settings, otherwise not. Same heavy drops on the first level for me and minor ones to 29ish in the dam area.

I'm trying to decide whether to get a second GTX670 or save for a Titan/700 series. I have the 4GB EVGA model so memory wise I should be fine for a while. Anyone have any personal opinion on this?
Woops, sorry for two posts so close together. Thought the other one was in the performance thread
Finished the game.
Being my first Crysis, I don't have any cross reference within the series, but I enjoyed this one. It starts off damn strong, falters a good bit in the middle~ishend there, then closes strong, with some good boss fights towards the end.
I think the things I actually enjoyed most about the game was all the story relates ish like Prophet, his relations with all the characters, and the first-person, in-engine cutscenes. Really. really good, which was surprising as I had never known the Crysis series to be something special in that regard.

Lens of Truth has become irrelevant over the past few weeks, they fuck up every comparison.
But just for reference DF don't do the optional installs on 360 for their comparions either, unless its one of those "HD Textures" type of deal.
It's nowhere near as good as the Crysis 2 theme. That's probably the best menu soundtrack I have heard

Continuing my play through on the ps3 version, discounting a horrible lack of visual clarity(I mean it's HARD to tell what the fuck is going on in some of these environments), I'm finding a lot of CODish things design wise keep popping up.
The latest, and perhaps the most egregious of these, is the first time I encountered seth that carried ballistic weapons. I think it's the 4th level. It's night time, ruined buildings in a swampy area. I get to a section where they throw at least a half dozen of those guys at you, I clear them out and that spawns another wave that seem to be even tougher. So, I don't know if it's infinite or not(even though I spent a bunch of retries trying to clear the area completely), but that moment where I officially abandoned engaging guys to go after a marker happened. And, of course, they disappeared as soon as I hit that scripted marker, even though I'm still standing in the same open spot, about 30 feet from where they would have been.
This goes along with weapon selection basically not being a factor, AI and enemy design being very one note that in turn means encounter design is bland. Apart from a couple of vents leading to an alternate path earlier around the dam area, the environments are also nothing interesting, just a slave to whatever visuals they want to show off.
I don't remember Crysis 2 being like this, it was not state of the art mechanically, but they definitely tried. This has turned out to be a visual showcase, which is actually detrimental in my case(playing on the ps3), because I lose so much visual clarity and playability for some effects.

Strange, i cleared this zone and then started to record gameplay and make gifs there, no NPC spawned.
You mean this zone?

Yes, and in that case, I guess the reinforcements are finite. There were definitely at least 2 waves of them, I had to replay the bulk of that segment/checkpoint a couple of times because I kept mismanaging my suit energy(let it deplete while cloaked, then trigger an alarmed state by killing a guy or whatever).
I still don't like that the design of that section made me take the path of least resistance halfway through. It's not something I ever do in shooters. I liked the verticality of that section in the game, too bad I just ended up cloaked with a bow and arrow, waiting for one of them to wander off from the pack.
Techreport drools at the graphics.

I pretty much agree with this guy's sentiment. Also really enjoy multiplayer. It's a nice change of pace.
Crysis 3's visuals are certainly impressive (having played the game at very high settings) but I'm hesitant to outright claim it will hold its own against the first wave of next-gen games, exclusives or multiplats.
Not so long ago I used to consider it as a good representation of what should be expected from next-gen early on but now I'm not so sure. Watch Dogs in my opinion is more impressive and it's a cross-gen game.
That is awful

Hmmm... Watch Dogs might be more impressive if you take its scope into account, but nothing I've seen yet makes me think it is on par with Crysis 3 in terms of sheer visuals. Same goes for Killzone: Shadow Fall, which had the extremely impressive city scape, but otherwise was not as strong graphically as Crysis 3, IMHO.
Of course, both those games have plenty of development time yet, but they aren't there yet, not to my eyes anyway. I'd expect the best looking next-gen launch games will be roughly on par w/Crysis 3 and they'll eclipse it shortly after that.

Just loaded up the game on 360 for some multi and was greeted with an update. Update finished and I went to the multiplayer menu when I noticed my dog tag reset to a generic Crysis logo. Odd, I thought, but no big thing, I'll just switch it back. Wasn't even gonna bother right away but I figured I'd do it anyway so I could see if I unlocked any new ones last night. Not only were there no new ones, the reason it changed my tag was because it reset about 90% of my unlocks for some reason including the one I had equipped.
Not a big deal considering the tags are just cosmetic fluff but annoying to be sure. It didnt even reset all of them just most. Is this a known issue? Preventable? Due to the update?

Wtf Crytek. Beat the last boss, game froze when the achievement popped up. Now it always freezes the game and won't let me bring up my guns during the last section of the boss fight. If i try to quit The xbox freezes. If i die, it freezes. What the hell. I just want to see the ending but this is bullshit.

How's the game on PS3 graphically?
Is it very similar to Crysis 2? Is there any real improvement?

Same bug was in Crysis 2.
You need to replay the whole game. I said fuck you Crytek. This game deserves to tank.
