The demo is fricking awesome, from start to end.
And as i said in the other thread, if any console fps fanboy dares come along and even HINT that Crysis sucks...

Geez this game is a ball breaker, 1920x1200 and all settings on high do not go well together on my recent system, having most shadow stuff and physics settings on medium it started to become playable.

Everything on high fine, but shaders > low = crap all FPS on my 7800GTX That screen is before the textures had loaded though
Ah well, time to ebay and get a 8800GT system next week I think 
As for Crysis, an impressively long and entertaining demo, throwing people into buildings ftw.

Fine...
High settings, some on medium (post-processing, shadows, shaders), No AA - 20 FPS

High settings, 6x AA - 2 FPS (No clue why it's borked...)
1 2 3

Easily the greatest character models I've ever seen in a game. I'm very happy with how stable the game code is. They improved vehicle control which handles like a charm. The AI is astonishing even on just normal.
Don't think I've laughed as hard as I did when I jumped out of a pick up at full speed, tossed two grenades into the bed of the truck, it rammed into some standing barricades got some air and barely jumped above a sitting jeep getting almost square over it and then exploded causing a chain reaction, destroying the jeep another parked pickup and a couple barrels. Along with the numerous troops entrenched.
Now my goal is to get screen shots and maybe some video if I can easily recreate it.
I cant believe how well they realized everything I've been waiting for... cant explain how entertaining this demo is. --------

Very nice.
It scales really well. Smooth as anything on the default settings. I'll try turning some stuff up I think and see how shiny I can make the graphics before my PC has a seizure.
The gameplay itself is a lot of fun. It's quite possible just to run into everything durf durf style and get shot to pieces. On the other hand using the suit works wonders.
Did anyone find a sniper rifle or anything hidden / different in the demo?

It rocks TBFH! 
Auto-decect thingumy put my settings all as 'very high' but it wasn't really playable at those settings (around 10-12 FPS). At playable levels (30-40 FPS) it still looks awesome tho.
I may have to play around with overclocking TBH...

I very nearly thought the scene in the plane was live action. And that was on medium settings, 2x AA.
Graphics are lovely etc etc but for me, the suit just makes the game. Nothing like switching to speed, sprinting up to a guy, grabbing him and tossing him into his friends and gunning them all down on the ground. 
Now, I'm going to go back and play through it again. And again. Until the full game is released. ---

I was quite happy how it ran, still need to do some faffing to make it look that bit more purdy.
Pitty the demo didn't get further than it did, really didn't get to see much *sigh*. I'll probably get it when it goes down to ú15-20 
I'm crap at FPS's, but the suit adds a lot to the game. Especially as I can't aim for buggery and I keep running out of ammo 
A knife would have been pure pwnage with stealth mode.

Edited by: Commander Prishe on 27/10/2007 20:45:44 Been playing crysis demo today, and im stunned at the graphics, there amazing. Best graphics of any game without a doubt, the gameplays pretty good to.
Running with every setting maxed and 16X AA on 1280 X 1024 resolution.
Framerate seems nice and smooth (as expected with my rig tbh) even with lots of action on screen in single player so im very happy.
Thats on GTX8800 768 mb, vista 64 bit, 2 gigs ram, core 2 duo 6400, Nvidia 680i SLI Motherboard, Raptor 150 gig HD.
Smooth framerates with max settings on multiplayer mode may require 2 X 8800GTX in SLI config, 4 gigs ram and quad core.
Oh yeah DX10 officaly rocks (A proper game to utalize it is only a year behind schedual from its release with vista better late than never I guess)

I think you'd struggle with the game on low settings. The P4 is *badly* outdated by this point, i'd strongly recommend upgrading to any AMD or Intel dual core. The x1600 Pro is decent, but in conjunction with the CPU i think you're screwed. :P

I'm more of an old school gamer who doesn't care about graphics and the game doesn't seem to have anything else going for it. Strip away the pretty visuals and you're left with nothing but a very generic shooter.
Although it does seem to be nicely optimized. After a bit of tweaking I had it running smoothly at high settings with 4x aa on an x1900xt and 2b of ram. Thank god for overclocking. |

Edited by: brocksamson316 on 28/10/2007 12:50:16 got it working, you can see the effort they have put into the game, swimming underwater is truly staggering and each leaf and blade of grass looks perfect, however it has flaws, when aiming at a bad guy for example the gun wobbles around like the guy has had about 20 beers, i found it hard to get headshots, the cloak doesn't last long enough when you move as well.
Ill certainly still buy it, runs nice on my quad core 8800 gtx with 8gb ram and asus commando mobo, all settings at very high and smooth as a babys bum.

There's the point: The visuals *are* a part of the game, at least as far as i'm concerned. After playing the demo on high settings, i felt like i was "playing a movie", and that's exactly what modern games are about. Cinematic, interactive entertainment.
It sounds corny, but the 8-bit age is over... And i'd disagree over the statement that gameplay in older games was better. It's different, yes, but not better. A game is supposed to be fun, it's not supposed to have a 500 page manual detailing every single command, nor is it supposed to revolve around breaking yet another highscore.
All games are supposed to be fun, and Crysis is the most fun i've had in a very, very long time. At least, as far as video games are concerned. Playing the Crysis demo for the first time reminded me of when i got my first pentium 100, up from a 386-20, and played the MDK demo for the first time.

The wobbling is constant, it moves in the shape of an infitity symbol. Knowing this you can easily learn to aim very precise with it. The wobble is simply to make the game less arcade and more strategic. Knowing this, headshots are dead easy aswell. Just be patient and don't run and gun around like some headless chicken.
The cloak isn't made to move around with. It's made to observe, and move between cover, not to get across the entire island. When staying on one spot, it lasts for a couple of minutes, more than enough to wait for the alarm to go down or for a patrol to get in a dark corner before you shoot him.

I played all settings on very high 4x aa in a small resolution in windowed mode, so I could get a taste how it would look once I have a system that can play it the same way in 1920x1200 in 2 years and I must admit it does look a lot better, compared to settings at high.

Edited by: Asilah Na''kani on 28/10/2007 15:31:27 So cool it's ******* unbelievable. I run it at 1680x1050 with 2x AA and everything on High, some stuff on very high and one or two things on medium. Looks really good, and even if you decrease all the juicy video stuff you will have a really good time playing this game. Can't freakin' wait until release.

Played it too, and damn, it looks amazing.
On my 8800 GTS + C2D E6400 (OC'd to 2.56ghz) (1280x1024) I get acceptable FPS on everything high w/o AA.
To be honest, I hardly noticed it wasn't on.

don't forget mate your shooting the Korean military, they have body armor on and combat gear, only a headshot is a 1 bullet kill.

You should try it on Delta... its tons of fun. Personally, I had so much fun going into Strength mode and tossing keyboards at people and knocking them to the ground, it was probably illegal.
Also, the blue barrels leak oil... I don't know if you can light it, but its fun to toss em in the air and try to pop em, oil sprays everywhere. I felt like The Hulk in a cowboy suit :D
All in all, great fun :D
Oh, and on my 2.7ghz Q6600 (OC from 2.4) with 2gb 800mhz ram and a 8800GTX it ran smooth as silk on High, 4x AA and 1680x1050. It runs great on 8xAA but I was noticing hints of lag, esp. in cutscenes and the difference is almost unnoticeable. Plus, it seems (at least on the first time I ran it) to cause some visual distortion, I had mountains pop up, etc. Graphical glitches I attributed to it being either A) A demo, or B)8-16xQ AA. idk what a Q makes it, but it didnt seem to like it...
I highly reccomend you grab a barrel or a dumpster and toss it at the Koreans, its great fun.

Edited by: Haerana on 28/10/2007 21:58:03 Edited by: Haerana on 28/10/2007 21:47:49 Game looks amazing. Everything on very high. 1280x1024 (i dont use widescreen oh noes!) and i have only noticed any slowdown once or twice. not botehred checking my fps yet.
Few gripes with the game. im in a supersuit that apparently can only take about as many bullets as normal combat gear can on the KPA soldiers..... ok fine. but at least i got super speed! which is only really useful if your needing a quick get away and havent been shot yet. Strength mode... can jump really high. sorta useful. picking up stuff and smacking people about was quite fun. but most of the time i died from being shot at.. while attempting to do these things. Cloaking.. ok now where talking. it has just enough to move around abit and to hide. Cloaking was by far the most useful mode. Pretty much every engagement was me moving between cover cloaked to get close to people. and pop em then cloak again etc etc.
I am playing on Normal difficulty though... but just meh. Why have a super suit that seems to me about as super as a squirrel. Sure constantly running faster is ok for travel. quick burst of speed sorta... but was hoping for something abit more. Also not being able to actually take damage in a stand up fight annoys me. not exactly "maximum armor" im not talking godmode or anything here. but i assumed they were gonna make it semi-hard for you to die from being shot so you could use your "super" suit abilities in fights some what.
tip: NEVER EVER super speed into a fight like you may have seen in a videotrailer for the game. your usually dead before u stop moving. these KPAs dont have bad aim. although i apparently do.
Also the AI is pretty good sometimes... i have noticed some ridiculous bugs. shoot at a guy far off and he stops trys to duck/prone and gets sort of jammed in between warping around like mad. 1 guy went prone by a rock and warped about 10ft away standing up.
I can understand being visible and stuff... but a guy on a machinegun turret on a boat thats far enough away so that i can barely make out where he is on it being able to constantly pick me out of dense bushes annoys the hell out of me... why cant i have vision that good?
EDIT: forgot to say. despite all that i still enjoyed it throughly and am eagerly awaiting the full game.
EDIT2: 4got to mention this. think somebody said something about it earlier in the thread. But i consider myself pretty good. average. moderate at FPSs. My aim aisnt super awesome impeccable. but it isnt half bad. i can usually aim at somebody and shoot tham with ease. I think somebody mentioned this earlier but why do the guns have such bad accuracy? Again im going to play the SUPERSUIT card! Surely this could alleviate some kickback or whatever (im not physicist... or spell checker for that matter) Although i didnt check this maybe being in "strength" mode makes your accuracy better? if not maybe its something that should have been suggested before such a late date.
Think i spent most of my time using single fire mode on my rifles as if i even burst fired in auto i never hit anything. The Shotgun was AWESOME though.

I agree, the npc's notice you somewhat too easily. Even if i shoot and immediately recloak, using a silencer, they still slowly make their way to the position i shot from.
I think this is somewhat of a limitation of the current level of AI programming. They're around the perfect mark, but it's difficult to program 'confused' and make it seem believable. They might simply have omitted that phase and taken some shortcuts in the AI programming here.
As for the suit, you can take a couple of hits, no matter where you are hit. A headshot is always the end for the NPC's though, and you're not exactly supposed to be able to walk in Rambo style with a constantly firing minigun. An increase in armor strength of about 25% would indeed be nice though.

But i just didn't have that much fun playing it compared to COD4 Beta.
I might consider buying it if i ever get around to upgrading my PC but theres just too many good games coming out in November and this isn't high on the list

Ever since Farcry I can no longer play FPS without using hardest mode. And Hardest mode is sooo much more fun. I love iron sights, and am happy somebody finally implemented them.
Was really fun, although I did notice limitations in the AI. They've got no ability to react to cloaking, which makes my job a lot easier, and as mentioned before, if I shoot them from long range they tend to mill around waiting to get shot more.
Most of the foliage is still in sprites, while only the big leafy things are interactable. Oh, and I also haven't noticed the AI reacting to me being cloaked, and brushing a leaf aside.
Having said that, I'm definitely getting it when it comes out.

Type 'r_displayinfo 1' into the console to see your fps if you do not have fraps.
Anything above 24 fps is allright, anything below less good.

theres also a benchmarking tool with the demo. Benchmark_gpu i believe theres 1 in either the bin32 or bin64 folders depending which version you run. For me with everything on VERY HIGH i get an average of about 14fps. Everything on High was an average of 26fps. This game toasts my 8800gtx :P

I originally ran the game at all medium graphics settings at 1280x1024, not a single loss in fps and pretty much stormed through at 50+ fps. Deciding to crank up the eycandy i set everything as high as it would go and sat back to watch my computer melt. The melt never came. With fully maxed settings on according to the benchmarking utility that comes with the demo my GPU fps is 27.30, thats on a 8800GTS 320mb, overclocked to 630MHz/1.8GHz, which is pretty much standard GTX gpu speeds.
Processor is a dual core 2.33GHz, overclocked to 2.7Ghz. CPU benchmark: 25.06fps.
Now i played some of the Demo at the max settings, and with those fps. It felt smooth and was near as damn playable im really impressed with that and almost anyone with a fairly recent computer will be able to run this game at med setting without difficulty and prehaps a more med/high setting, which is what ive now settled with, giving me jaw dropping eye candy along with smooth as a babies arse gameplay. Its pretty much a quasi religious experiance.

Edited by: Ulendar on 29/10/2007 22:04:22 I played until the beach where I took out the GPS jammer, offed the guys on the boat, went to the opposite bank and put some more dudes out of their misery when I made the mistake to board the white motor boat. Suddenly my guy existed twice, thanks to overlapping graphics. Looked really weird and was only visible when moving around fast. Some freak gfx glitch which I reckon has to do with getting in/out of vehicles, and shortly thereafter the game crashed.
This was my first run in the demo, and I am definitely going to order this. Granted, the graphic bug was rather annoying, but heck, it's a demo. __________

I disagree... really enjoyed the H:L demo, and love the idea of a MMO mixed with a FPS. Its a nice concept. Although i must say if you only played as the Blademaster i can understand what your saying... I have no idea why anyone would play with the Blademaster because the game is 10000x easier as a Marksman.

I added a TAC Launcher (Mini Nuke Gun) to the demo .... All I can say is OMFG this has to be the most powerful gun in any FPS game EVER
Then I added a TAC Tank (think of handheld TAC launcher mounted on a tank) thnk 10 times the range and 10 times the Boom.
Helecopter is fun to fly to, and loads of other military vehicals u can add. Multiplayer is gonna bloody rock.

Edited by: Plutoinum on 30/10/2007 07:15:48 Edited by: Plutoinum on 30/10/2007 07:12:27 It's awesome. I have just upgraded my hardware. Was about time to get rid of my old Geforce Ti-4200/AthlonXP2000 combo. Originally I planned to play the last days Tabalua Rasa beta, but didn't make it in time. So tonight I found this Crysis demo by cooincidence. I had already forgotten about that game.
First minutes I was really just staring, couldn't almost believe, how good it looks. Reminds me of Farcry some years ago. Cryengine-1 was also the best outdoor engine I've had seen until then. That game was beautiful at that time. Now Crysis with its new engine is really another big step forward again. A huge step towards more visual realism. ( Wonder, if we Germans get it uncensored btw. ) Gameplay is similar to Farcry, so I felt at home immediately, although the armor options are new and a nice idea and fun.
The only thing that I hope is that it gets more difficult later during the gameplay, Farcry was quite difficult at some points. But I've played this demo with normal difficulty and due to an a bit overpowered Stealth mode, it seemed a bit too easy.
The 'bait some guys, activate stealth, kill them, hide for a few seconds to recover energy, stealth again, before the renforcements arrive, then kill those too, stealth again...' tactics seemed to work almost always against the npcs. In other cases I had already killed everything with the vehicle guns, before it became a problem.  The powerarmor also increases your survivability extremely, so if someone shoots you, you have quite some time to react. And the ultra-speed mode is also so fast that the npc enemies seem to have no chance to catch you. So in contrast to Far Cry it seems like there could be always an easy way out in Crysis.
But well, this demo is just an introduction level and I hope that it will become more stressfull and that you really have to use all this overpowered abilities wisely or get toasted.
Anyway, my 1st impression is that this game is another mile-stone and a must have for everyone, who likes such 1st person shooter games with a thrilling story.
P.S.: For those with ancient hardware: If you don't want/need AA and/or high graphics performance for DX10, you don't really need a high end PC. Actually my computer upgrade was low/medium budget, following some overclocking ideas from tom's hardware, although I didn't do it as extreme as them. Got a cheap Intel dual core e-2160, who is supposed to run at 2x1,8Ghz/200FSB. Runs at 2x2.7Ghz/300FSB now. Luckily the new MB offered still parallel ide port, so could use my old HD and DVD burner. Needed new ram and a new power supply though. So in the end a rather cheap upgrade for about 400 EUR from a 2002/2003'ish PC to something that allows me to play crisis with WinXP/DX9 now ( at least at their default settings ).
Should also be enough for EVE for some time.

1600x1050 or whatever that widescreen size is with x4AA all settings on high and it FLIES! It runs so smoothly I am tempted to increase the AA further however it doesn't seem to need it.
Absolutely stunning game, The very high settings are greyed out, which I can only assume is the DX10/Vista options.
I am looking forward to its release!

The Very High setting is only available for DirectX 10. DirectX 10 only runs on Windows Vista.
In other words, you can't select the Very High settings in Windows XP, because it only supports up to DirectX 9.

There is a way to enable very high settings in windows XP on the demo, just check the official crysis forums you will find a step by step guide how to do it somewhere.
Obviously u wont get the enhanced DX10 visuals (like motion blur, etc) on XP but very high settings can be unlocked.

Lol just tried it on Delta, so much more fun and tense! Spent majority of the time having a very difficult firefight within one of the small huts (they kept calling for support), throwing grenades through the doors and putting the shotty holders at the doorways as the rest circled around shooting....the hut eventually collapsed around me .
Love the demo so far, cant wait for release \o/ .

The Demo was a big let down, but the beta was much better (more monsters, loots, better graphics...), the retail version is a signifiant improvment over the beta (more polished), and there's a big patch planned for today or tomorrow that should bring another signifiant improvement, too. ------------------------------------------

hehe wall of text abit but still :P Your PC is rather alot like mine same processor and case simliar mobo same gfx probably :P I play on everythign set to High rather than Very High just because it makes it abit smoother and the difference isnt THAT noticable. still top demo played it about 8times now. cant wait for the release date.

Fun things I found to do, besides the obvious "Im bored... Gas can... explosive barrel... hut... no hut! And lots of pretty wreckage!" combos :D
Take the Hummer/Jeep vehicle from the GPS hut and go flying down the beach towards the command center. While your racing down, hold **** can you can hit somewhere around 60mph on the sandy beach.. By this time I had all those guys combing the beach shooting me, the gunner on the stationary Hummer, and the three guys by the pickup truck.
Im cruising at 60mph, about 95% vehicle damage (On Delta) and I see two Hummers have formed a roadblock and opened up on me, with about four Koreans going into the trees to fire.
Wondering what I'm gonna do here, its solved for me when I hit a rock, flip (Do a barrel roll!) and get my last 5-2% damage done when one of the guys behind me hit that lovely gas tank :D
Needless to say, I enjoyed watching my spinning flaming wreck crash into one of the jeeps, blowing up and causing a palm tree to fall, crushing what was left of the enemy jeep, which then blew up, causing the other jeep to promptly explode. I couldnt see the ground from my mangled carcass, but judging my the wreckage I'm fairly certain I saw more than a few hats fly into the air :D
All in all, an amazing game. If you find the AI kinda easy, try on hard or Delta, they get vicious and you loose your crosshairs (It says your restricted to iron sights, but it would let you equip the laser reflex sight, possibly a bug?)
Oh, and IDK what my FPS was, but with a q6600 quadcore, OC to 2.7ghz, 8800GTX 756mb stock and 2gb of 800mhz RAM, at all High settings, 1680x1050, 2x AA, it ran smooth as silk, very playable up to 8xAA, although the visual difference was so slight I opted for the smoothness of 2x AA forthcoming |

Does anyone know whether the collector's edition you can order in Germany is the uncensored version?

After playing it a couple of times I've come to the conclusion Crysis is too easy.
I tried, and unfortunately easily finished the demo on Delta difficulty by not killing anybody (Tactical weapon only). I'm sure with intelligent use of cloak and speed functions I could do it without guns.
The main problem is the suit is far too good. The speed functions means you can run away from any infantry, and cloak + cover means you can kill large groups of enemies with next to no danger.
Bah. Wish it was harder.

Anyone notice the similarities between Crysis and Predator?

Yup. At exactly the moment you look up to Aztec's face.

Incidentally, when you guys got to the GPS jamming thing, did you notice one of the guys on the bridge relieving himself off the side?
I saw him through my binoculars...hilarious. Of course I shot the barrel next to him and he jumps back and does the stalker-routine..

ive been lurking several crysis forums now, and couldnt find anything about a "little" issue i have.
altough several people with the same card (7800gs) and similar specs seem to experience the same problems as i do, namely the fps dropping and the game locking up.
luckily i found out rather soon what caused this, and it really shocked me and ****ed me off at the same time: the fan of the gpu wont react to the temperature, i.e. it runs exactly at the same speed as it does, when you enter the game.
after 5 minutes you get about 115¦, the card slows down (if youre lucky) and the the ONLY thing to cure this behaviour i found (so far) is to reboot the computer, which leads to a fan running wild, because he suddenly reacts to the temperature again.
now if i start the demo right after this reboot, it runs just fine, for about forever. because the fan, which runs at full speed, because the gpu is still hot after the reboot, doenst react to temperature (again) and runs at high power, until the next reboot.
i have to admit i use an older driver because i cant freaking stand the "new and improved" interface...**** ... "nvidia has deceived the most advanced user inteface yadda yadday" my ass
anybody notice similar behaviour?

Edited by: Krxon Blade on 03/11/2007 19:31:24 Have you tried to use Rivatuner for fan control? I have new Sapphire HD2900 pro with one gig ram. Before Rivatuner, fan was loud non stop, but now it is louder only during gameplay. I'm also thinking to buy this Thermalright silencer for this vga, which further reduces both noise and temperature. --

Yeah, about 2 seconds into the game I got the Predator rip off feeling. About the same amount of time it took me to work out the Dark Walker in the UT3 was a War of the Worlds (modern) tripod.
