This game is over ten years old

Just imagine where we would be without consoles holding the industry back both creatively and technologically.

Warhead is still one of favorite games

Imagine comparing a game from 1998 to games in 2008.
There are STILL games releasing now, in fucking 2018, that look worse than Crysis.

Yep. I can tell by the low poly models and poor lightning.

it looks like it

bait

It was also made with a much lower budget than big triple-A games even at the time, much less now.

Time flies.

They're not wrong though.

it shows, especially the textures and character models

more bait

Honestly, outside of textures (and even then, not always) Crysis looks as good as current gen AAA games, and often looks better.

...

...

Theres a high res texture pack some ruski made

that still looks amazing in all actuality

Shame it runs like total shit on modern hardware because of it's terrible multi-threading support

It sure shows.

>Just imagine where we would be without consoles holding the industry back both creatively and technologically.
>he actually thinks developers would make games that cater solely to high end machines

Without consoles more people would have high end systems.

I have no idea what this is. Looks really nice though.

>still one of the 5 best-looking games to date

>Without consoles people would have more money

wat

1998 in all of its glory.

This game barely ran at 1080p with high end hardware, it was built for future PCs, so it looks more like a 2011-2012 game, which is also when average-tier hardware could run it easily.

Developers these days could do this, developing games for future hardware, but it isn't profitable, if it ever was. It doesn't help that most pcobeses have shit-tier hardware these days and play the same multiplayer garbage (DotA, League)

yeah, you really think a regular person would go out of his way to build a high-end pc? consoles are easier to get into, that's what makes them so attractive. you don't need to fuss about too much with graphical settings and such. for you and me might be easy to set up, but not for your everyday guy

>he actually believes this
the large install base provided by consoles and low end machines are the reason most developers can stay in business. you do know that almost all multiplatform games sell better on console right? i swear you PC autists can be really embarrassing sometimes

I feel like crysisfags are autistic.

I want to go back

To rephrase: Without consoles the market of gamers with disposable income would be mostly made up of mustard race with high end PCs.

>it was built for future PCs, so it looks more like a 2011-2012 game
I'd say more like a 2013-2015 game.
Shit, a lot of games STILL don't use per-object motion blur.

>muh graphics

>I feel like

>the only game PC players ever brag about is Crysis
>a game with literally nothing to offer outside its graphics
pretty sad honestly. people like you are to blame for the state of the industry. graphicswhores are as bad as casualfags

we need less developers retard.
>games sell better on console
yeah no shit. people are retarded. I could sell them a put-the-shape-through-the-hole puzzle and a jigsaw and of course no one would want the jigsaw despite it being superior in every way.

>crysis_2014_03_21_16_10_40_408.jpg
imagine

Crysis has fantastic gameplay. Also ss13 and diablo2/poe you fucking pleb.

>a game with literally nothing to offer outside its graphics
but thats wrong

>the large install base provided by consoles and low end machines are the reason most developers can stay in business.
Oh god no, that's 100% wrong.
The large install bases on consoles only allows major publishers with huge advertising budgets to stay in business.
Smaller devs, indie devs, and small publishers do notoriously poorly on consoles, hence why they usually aim for PC.
You won't see a publisher like Paradox releasing many games on consoles.

>PS4 exclusives are literally pretty graphixxx movies
>PC is to blame

I hate graphics whores. You guys are the biggest blights on the industry. Your whining inflates dev costs and draws attention away from shit that matters.

and you think that the amount of people with high-end pc would warrant a company spending time, money and resources to develop and publish it? why do you think this gen is flooded with remastered versions of previous gen stuff? less work, easy money

>Crysis has fantastic gameplay.
Is this generation Z?

I think it would lead to the development of more advanced game engines to take advantage of the higher standards for what a gaming device is capable of. Which leads to better games in most cases.

>why do you think this gen is flooded with remastered versions of previous gen stuff?

Because the massive horde of console retards make that an economically sound option for greedy corporations? With fewer players only the companies that cared about making good games would be in the industry.

Having an improvement of visuals doesn't mean you need a shitton more assets. Having a couple more graphics devs is nothing in comparison to having a dozen more contracted artists.

how are you feeling today

You have an extremely naive view of the videogame industry. Literally everyone is trying to make money. It's not a charity.

Thanks mates

...

You may not know this since you're 10 years old but in the past people used to try to make money in the videogame industry by making good games.

woah is that Test Drive?

And why do you think their business model changed?

This game will come out next year.

Probably. Maybe. Possibly.

Do you even read the threads you post in? Because of console retards.

Is that the new Crytek game? It looks marginally better than Crysis. Not exactly a 1998 - 2008 jump. I guess that's just the law of diminishing returns in effect?

Also in the past, there used to be shovelware up the ass, just like nowadays. Good games and bad games exists in all generations, don't try to pull the muh nostalgia card here. Videogame industry has grown since then, and you have an entire board of directors to answer to. If you don't deliver profits, might as well fuck off. Apparently the 10 year old here is you.

>You guys are the biggest blights on the industry.
>but don't mind me, i'm paying to play battlefront II on my consolestation 10. my dads mastercard isn't even maxed yet

Crysis 2 was a massive gameplay downgrade that coincided with the franchise's turn to consoles

That's because Crysis was a 2012 game coming out in 2008.

Visuals aren't ready yet too, they said they're gonna improve them in the first big update in around 2 months, so it'll look a lot more polished then (i hope)

Except there has been no good game in the past decade.

So basically you're saying that these benevolent developers that primarily cared about producing the best game ever are in fact turncoats?

...

Yes it has. You're just being a contrarian for the sake of your own argument.

wow I saved a thumbnail.

>Le soy turns m*n in womyn

>r-r-reddit!
like clockwork

What the fuck is /r/eddit?

I want nu/v/ to leave

What's the last good game in your opinion?

The visuals weren't even the most impressive thing about Crysis.
Enviromental interactivity and enemy AI in such large scale open enviroments were the most impressive things about it. THAT's where consoles are holding us back. And that's why we're getting tons of shooters that barely look as good as Crysis but are linear corridors.

The biggest thing that makes a game look like shit nowadays is awful 2d and unresponsive foliage
Crysis did plants that deform when you move into them and it did 3d leaves
All I fucking want is nice flora

TW1, Crysis, STALKER: SoC, RE4, RF, ME1, etc.

From whence you came.

You're joking, right?

this hurts me, unironically

...

neck yourself you tryhard faggot

Honest question. How can people stand playing at 28fps on a console? It looks like complete shit. jerky as fuck. input lag. nothing good comes from it.

We can tell by the shitty blurry rock textures, the flat boring lighting, the low-poly everything and that last-gen vegetation with zero AO.

0/5

>Your whining inflates dev costs and draws attention away from shit that matters
Pretty sure that's the marketing department

...

How can Crytek even compete with the Remedy?

>it was built for future PCs
I wish this meme would stop. There is no excuse for bad optimization, the only reason better hardware runs unoptimized games better is because it can brute force unoptimized games while the game is still not using the hardware properly.

By having main characters that aren't soyboys

Game looks much better than the competition AND runs much better than the competition too. It wasn't poorly optimized though it wasn't geniusly optimized either.

Who cares about graphics? OFP was peak FPS gameplay and it's only been decline or rehash ever since.

>He thinks devs who make only PC games have an easier time developing games for endless hardware configurations compared to console developers

Crysis was never badly optimized. It runs fine on low end pcs when you crank the settings down low, and it challenges high end pcs when you crank the settings way up. That's a well optimized game. People just throw hissy fits when their GTX 1980 and i10 9999K can't run games at max settings

>Those barrel shadows
Gross.

crysis wasn't even that poorly optimised
the max settings just were for high-end computers, and if you had one at the time it ran fine
I played it both on a toaster and a high-end and on a toaster it ran fine at low, and on a high-end it ran fine at max
