ZGangsta 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2007 Has anyone here played Crysis? The full version comes out tomorrow but the demo has been out for a while and it is amazing. I've got a quad core CPU, a GeForce 8800GT and 4Gb of RAM running on Vista64 (so directX 10) and Ultra High settings on this game take my hardware setup to school (though it'll probably be more optimized for the full version). But Holy Shit, are the graphics and physics fucking incredible. The gameplay keeps up too and sort of brings me back to Deus Ex (minus the RPG elements) in that there's so many completly different ways to go at your objectives. Plus the weapon customization It got a 9.4 from IGN and Gamespot gave it a 9.5. I'd definately recommend at least checking out the demo. PS: being able to punch down buildings may be the best gameplay innovation in an FPS in years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thoth 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2007 Apparently, if you use DirectX 9 instead of DirectX 10, and keep all the other settings the way they are, the performance improves tremendously. I deleted the demo before I could try this, but I have very good specs and I got destroyed with everything on medium, at 1024x768. I had DX10 on, though.

Thoth 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2007 Wel, I ran in DX9. Performance DOES shoot way up. However, the text was rendering like this: Instead of, say, "Meet Aztec at the Rendezvous point." I got "|||| A|||| |t |he ||||||vo|| p||||." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
