halo had suck ass graphics? damn you really haven't been gaming long enough!
These games need something new, something that breaks the mould and makes them a bit different, its hard to find something now as most have been tried.
The greatest innovation of recent times has been the Wii, purely because they have tried something completely different, a new way of playing the game and a fantastic result its been.
Tell me honestly ADE, whats you reason for the interest in crysis, is it anything other than better graphics? are you looking forward to this giving yuo something different, something new?
You can tell me that storylines pan out like a book and each ones story gives it that interest but its a poorly written book none the less. If any author kept writing books in the same way they would never be published.
I'll say it again, i know that theres more of a struggle now to do something different, i appreciate that desingers have to rely on improved graphics being the seller because there very few new places to take gaming, its just a damn shame its got that way.
How can spending over £200 buying COD, FEAR, Prey, Crysis, Stalker, etc be justified ot that extent......
hahaha
edit : in all honesty ADE, if your still finding each interpretation of the FPS thats coming out now entertaining then I envy you, maybe in a few years you'll come to a similiar conculsion to me, maybe you wont but for the time being fair play on enjoying each version that comes out. Maybe i've just seen it a few times to often in my years and its starting to get more than a little tired to me

Look at J K Rowling. Same style, loved by many. Poorly written, I think not. And hell, I played Halo for the 1st time ever a few days ago, it was good. Crappy graphics, I play Far Cry a lot. love it. Hell, even pack man a bit. I don't care it has kick ass graphic. I know I wont be able to play on MAX, so do you honestly think that I care about graphics more? If I did than I would just buy Oblivion 4. But Its not like that. Fact is you don't know how good a game is until you have played it. Everyone has there own opinion. You have yours, I have mine. Yes, new things are hard to come by, But I believe this has just that. You need to play it to see what makes it so different. If you haven't ever played it, then what proof have you? none. Tell me, do you have a favorite movie? what makes that one so special. Is it the story perhaps? Or do all of the same genera movie all seam to be the same? just as it is to you for games.
At this point I would like to point out that, so-called first person shooters, don't necessarily need to involve shooting. Portal, for instance, does not feature a single gun (unless you include the portal creator), nor does it feature zombies/ghosts/soldiers or any other overused stereotypes.

Favourite movie? yes its Return to Paradise which is a wonderful break from the norm, have a watch because it truly questions your own humantity and views by the end of it
I said before if crysis does something completely different that sets it above the rest besides its graphics then i will happily eat humble pie as it will give me something worth playing, but i wont hold my breath

It will. For one it will have the most Advanced AI that can come very close to thinking like a real human. That by itself is interesting. second, You will have to play it like your really there. Anything you do will effect the outcome. Non linear game play. a truly fully reactive environment that will force you to use tactics, not run and gun like so many other games. It is almost like real life. No other game has come so close to it. And I truly believe that it will have something that can captivate you give is a shot one day. I bet you would come to see it as revolutionary.

i have a feeling this thread has moved from talking about one of the best fps of 2007 to talking about books about scripting.
crysis has a lot to offer and will be one large step in the game delvelopment league.
wonder what game will be top of the chart after crysis has been out for a couple of months,

Crysis will be available for XP (DirectX 9.0c) though. Link here.
Even runs on Shader Model 2 only video cards.
"A single 7800GTX will run the game quite well on fairly high settings according to Crysis Art Director, Michael Khaimzon."
"Minimum requirements for GPU: Nvidia 6200 (hey, that's mine) or ATI X1300 - Shader Model 2.0" (hmm.. why don't they put a Radeon 9600 instead of X1300?)

Yeah, it isn't a demanding game really, only when you get to DX10, then it is.
Is the difference between DX9.0c and DX10 really that profound. I mean i've seen a couple of comparison screenshots for the upcoming 'Age of Conan' and was left distinctly unimpressed. Granted, HDR lighting and shadow effects were all fantastic and showed obvious improvement. But as for texture detail and jaggedness; the differences were barely noticeable. I'm not even sure whether my monitor will be good enough to pick up the details, the resolution only goes as far as 1280x1024 whilst future games are advertised as running in 2560x1600.

When did you see the benchmarks?
You need to remember that DX10 is brand new, and as of yet there are no games for it. And like the Xbox 360, when the first games are out, they wont be that impressive, but after developers can fully understand DX10 and tweak it, games will look alot better.
Here is a link to the comparison screenshots:

And some more pictures of the game running in DX10:

Those dont even look to be true. From the screens i've seen, DX10 look alot more realistic.
