Looking good graphically but they are on strike 2 with me. 3 strikes and they are out.

German developer Crytek has DirectX 11 graphics running on Crysis 3 on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.The PC version of the sci-fi shooter sequel, due out spring 2012, will build upon the stunning Crysis 2 DirectX 11 Ultra Upgrade, but the programmer wizards at Crytek aim to get at least some of this running on the console version of the game."We want to make sure as much as is humanly possible can translate from a DX11 variant into a DX9 variant, that will work almost as good on an Xbox console to whatever extent we can, because we don't want the experience to be different between the platforms," Rasmus Højengaard, director of creative development at Crytek, told Eurogamer."It is very, very difficult, but it is possible. It just requires a lot of effort. Some of the stuff these guys are making work on consoles now is absolutely amazing. It's render features that shouldn't theoretically work on consoles, but they've managed to construct code that can emulate a similar thing from a… hack and slash sounds wrong, but they don't have the same streamlined pipeline you would have with a DX11 structure, but they can get to a similar result just by experimenting and using tips and tricks."Højengaard provided a concrete example of this: parallax occlusion mapping, while pointing out that it was not a feature confirmed to be in the console version of Crysis 3."I'm not saying this will be in the game, but they managed to make parallax occlusion mapping work, which is an advanced form of bump mapping where you get silhouettes as well, and you have self-shadowing even though you have absolutely no polygons," he explained.

"That's a very advanced feature, and it shouldn't theoretically run on a 360, but they made it run on a 360."Højengaard insisted, however, that Crytek will not include DX11 graphics features on console if they impact performance. "What it all boils down to is to what extent they're able to use this without choking the console," he said.Crytek hopes Crysis 3, which has been in development for just over a year, will prove to be a visual showcase, an example of what is possible on the PS3 and Xbox 360 at the end of their lifecycles."It's always interesting to push stuff when the perception is you can't push it anymore," Højengaard said. "That's definitely something we're doing." The development team is benefiting, in this regard, from a particularly efficient production - one boosted by the "stable" CryEngine 3 and developers who are finally getting to grips with the Crysis franchise. The end result is a quicker turnaround than with previous Crytek games."We can just be very efficient about the production because we have a stable technology path and we're not developing a new engine," he said. "And we have people who really know what they want to do with the game, which means we can get something out somewhat quicker than we could with Crysis 2, which had new engine development, and Crysis 1, which was new IP. As soon as you have to invent something it always takes longer than if you know what you're doing."We're obviously hoping it will be one of these pillars where we can go, that was what you can do."

So it's an emulation of DX11 on consoles? Should be interesting to see how that will work in reality.

Merged a few threads into this one.

Fully Expect CRYTEK to push the Graphics even further in CRYSIS 3.

[gangsta_795]

Yeah CryEngine 3 has sooo much potential

[itachi73378]

I fail to see why some crysis fanboys still think cryengine 2 is better. The trailer was droll worthy in the graphics department. And the same can be said for Crysis 2 in fact.

What CRYSIS 2 was easily up there with the Best ever looking games at the time hell the fact that it was compared to the top graphically looking games proves that fact.

Hell CRYSIS 1 (a 2007 game) is still up there with Today's graphics Games.

not once but Twice has CRYTEK backed their words up ,Why doubt them on this game.

I meant Crysis 2 is way better than the original crysis (graphically). I suck at English that's all

Ahh my bad

[Two4DaMoney]

Yeah CryEngine 3 has sooo much potential

They need to quit fucking around with the license fees and allow more devs to use it over the unreal 3 engine.

Yeah only way to unlock the potential and allow development.

This has the best trees I have ever seen

[Blacksite]

Cool trailer. I would like to see more footage of the game in the daytime though.

[John25]

Are Crysis 2 mods Better that ???

[Sufi]

Those graphics are good but not my type.

Not the gameplay either.

Too much flash, not enough substance.

[Rapture]

The more and more I see the less impressive the Crysis graphics seem to become.

All fps are kinda like that though. Crysis games are all about benchmarks and eye candy

[Sufi]

All fps are kinda like that though.

Medal of Honor: Allied Assault.
Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30.
Call of Duty 1.
Red Faction 1.
FEAR 1.
Half Life 1.
Halo 1.
Golden Eye 64.
Perfect Dark 64.
No One Lives Forever 2.
System Shock 2.
Deus Ex 1.

Maybe I'm too old.

Never heard of the game Crysis until the 2nd game got solid reviews. Fell in love with it so much that I have probably beat it 5-6 times on different difficulties.

Will be buying this game on release day

I'm the opposite, I play a bit of Crysis when it first came out( my mates PC could run it) but didn't think much of it, perhaps it was the control scheme of keyboard & mouse, graphics were good but look too PCish, ( I described Max Payne 1 as PCish if that helps you understand what I mean)
But Crysis 2 I liked and brought Crysis off PSN within the hour of playing 2, and it seemed to play better then I remembered, maybe I wasn't at home with it on PC, But ya could say I'm a fan now lol
