You should seriously turn down the shader setting that introduces the Brown&Bloom effect on Ultra setting. Actually makes the colors look more natural and vivid.

I will admit that games overall look better today, especially on high end PC. HOWEVER, I will not deny that Crysis 1 still has the best vegetation physics I've ever seen. All games today use this crappy vertex shader to morph plants when you walk into them. You see it in RDR/GTA V, as well as a few others even including Z:BotW.

Nothing comes close to Crysis in this regard. Still the lushest jungles with the best interaction.

You ever play Far Cry 2? While the game obviously doesn't look nearly as good as crysis graphically, the physics of the vegetation made the jungles in that game the most impressive I've ever seen, to the point where a static screenshot or compressed video wouldn't do them justice.
The way every leaf and branch shifts around as the wind blows through them during a storm is leagues above anything Crysis has to offer

>>383820552
I did, but I don't believe you've played Crysis when you think Far Cry 2 did that aspect better.

The best moving vegetation any game even this gen can do is using displacement maps, whereas Crysis had some kind of bone animation going on for every leaf.

>>383820791
Nah I've played both
To each their own I guess. The jungles seemed a little static to me, apart from when you directly interacted with them ofc. But then again there weren't any levels with strong winds apart from the battleship one
And I do remember that each branch of every tree moved separately with wind in Far Cry 2, and even vines hanging from trees swayed properly iirc, so it definitely wasn't a simple vertex shader or anything like that.

>>383815492
That's modded though

This, this is all I want. Why the fuck is it so hard to ask that massive leafy branches are able to fold and move properly? Crysis did it in 2007 with fucking ancient hardware. There's no excuse why game's use awful vertex shaders to morph vegetation.

Here's a video of it because this shit is beyond words. It needs to be seen in motion to understand and appreciate. Once you see it demonstrated like this, then you go back to any newer game and realize how fucking pathetic shit is today.

>>383822806
It's vanilla.

>>383822806
Nah I also remember this being fucking legit. All of the foliage including the actual palm trees can also react to wind and explosions but as someone else said, for some reason they didn't show it off much on the wind side of things.

>>383820068
I love how they developed technology and wrote entire papers on foliage simulation just to get the setting right, from rustling leaves to being able to break palm trees at specific points.
You could freaking split a palm tree into little segments, which you could then pick up and throw.
Modern games may look super detailed, but environments are so static and uninteractive outside of the key, linear points where you're meant to do things.

>>383822859
The worst part is that since the current consoles have shit CPUs, we won't be seeing this until the 9th generation if it ever happens.

Though I wonder if it's possible to do vegetation physics on the GPU considering their decent power.

Far Cry 3 did the same thing, I wonder why there hasn't been a mod that removes the wildfire limiters in any of those games yet

I loved Crysis, but there is one thing that stops me from replaying it.

It doesn't have RAGDOLL.

Indeed, the homosexual anti-violence laws in Germany forced Crytek to remove ragdoll and bullet holes from the bodies. And if there's one thing that pisses me off in the world, it's this shit.

I remember seeing a video of a mod that added gore and ragdoll to Crysis... but I can't find it anymore.

If anyone knows which mod it is, let me know!

>>383827093
they ragdoll, but aren't interactive after dying.

>>383827093
Oh yeah, I remember this. Funny enough I do recall there being an oversight where you could shoot the hats of the Koreans and it would have a big fleshy bloody wound on it.

Remember when Far Cry was the hottest graphics on the block? It wasn't a great game either. Oddly enough, the Far Cry: Instincts series on Xbox were amazing games.

It's because the trees are loaded in far mode for some reason and not their higher detail close-up models. Just a draw distance bug.

It can be done on the GPU, it's just a matter of whether or not companies are willing to funnel resources into that.

>>383816149
that's because it was optimized for older hardware, older cpus in particular. we can easily get prettier games these days if they utilize modern cores.

oblivion is the worst example of this, it looks like complete ass but runs terrible on modern hardware. In fact, if you were to downgrade your cpu to a single core cpu it would run better.

Nah, later installments may be linear console trash with unnecessary crafting to prolong the game, but at least they are playable compared to this piece of trash.

Far Cry 2 is like a trashy alpha prototype. Kinda reminded me of Stalker, but at least the latter had a pretty unique setting, unlike FC, which is generic as hell.

I really love games with old and rusty weapons. No scopes, no red dot sights, no silencers, etc. Only old and rusty gear.

The African setting of the game was nice, and beautiful. But...

The repetitiveness of the game was WAY too much for me. What's so fun in constantly getting spammed by groups of people in cars and mounted guns... like every what, 2-3 minutes?

You could literally just turn your head around after clearing a checkpoint, and a new group of people would respawn.

That classical Ubisoft shit killed the game for me, even if the guns were cool, and even if the African landscapes were great.

>>383830840

I just got done replaying it and...I love it. Did when it first came out, and still do now. Though I realise it IS heavily flawed, but there's some great fun to be had, sneaking through outposts slicing people with a machete, the way that as you progress, the mercenaries become more and more afraid of you, and the Heart of Darkness/Apocalypse Now vibe of the story. Plus, I still discovered new things, such as enemies picking up wounded soldiers and carrying them to safety, so you can snipe a guy in the leg and use him as bait. And again, pretty mature story for a Far Cry game

>>383836047
Yes nigger, Crysis was exactly that. A fucking benchmark for future machines.
It wasn't alone; back in the day, many games were unable to run decently on max settings at release (think about Deus Ex or Doom 3).

It wasn't because they were "unoptimized" (not like today at least); good games were expected to offer something for future playthroughs.

They can't do it today anymore, or people like you would sperg out

>>383837012
There was barely any difference. When I played the game 7 years ago there was some bug in the DX10 executable that always crashed the game during the final battle against the ship. I had to use the DX9 exe and it looked the same.

Xbox versions also notably dumb down the AI (because AI actually takes quite a lot of processing power since they have to move through varied 3D environment and not just corridors) and make the game easier overall.

To be fair, Ascension wasn't a particularly amazing level and quicksaves are for casuals. And CE3 isn't bad. The other stuff is valid, though.

>>383840457
Nah, you just need 16 GB of RAM

>>383837139
And it's unoptimized for machines today.

I actually got better performance on my previous 2007 rig before my current one. Game wasn't meant for quad processors.

Unless you have an extremely powerful processor with single-threaded performance about on par with a 7700k @ 5GHz, you will experience dips under 60 @ 1080p even with a GTX 1080.

Except Crysis is a fun as fuck game with an incredible amount of freedom and the only reason nobody talks about that aspect of it is because it's massively overshadowed by the mindblowing graphics it had for 2007

>>383841251
Yeah bro I agree. I also prefer the lower framerate of the console version because each frame stays on the screen longer and gives you more time to appreciate the graphics of every frame.

>>383827794
Remember when Far Cry 1 didn't have super magical sight enemies that see you through walls?
Because that was a thing, but the Steam version is broken.

>>383833042
Doom 3 isn't really, BAD foresay. It's just that the developers had a similar problem to Serious Sam 3; slow early to midgame progression that generally devolves into shooting the same enemies with the same guns room after room, often with the exact same "imp in a closet" attempt at a jumpscare for 3/4ths of the fucking game. By the time it really picks up in the last part of Mars and Hell, you're well-armed and the game's throwing Commandos and Arch-Viles at you and it finally gets better.

That's a pretty big sin for an FPs that isn't inherently a horror game, really.

Most people see the opposite. The 'open world' is more of a small, linear sandbox playground that encourages players to use the gear in the areas and their suit powers for all sorts of ways to approach various situations. But its story-linear structure and preventing itself from falling into a genuine open world slog keeps it interesting and laser-focused on being a shooter first and foremost. It's the kind of style people wish games like Metal Gear Solid V would've gone for.

It's a damn shame that the games that followed kind of sterilized the gameplay to try to hit more mainstream appeal with the console markets, and yet didn't quite reach the same style. I mean, Crysis 1 isn't perfect, god fuck those aliens, but the sequels kind of squandered everything.

going to join in on the crysis hate parade - all the games have been utter trash.

>>383842392
Played it on hard, got it from the last GoG sale and with a 1060 GTX 6GB to play it with, oh god, what a waste of a game, gameplay is uninspired garbage that tries too hard to look like an action movie instead of a well designed game, i feel bad for the people who put that much money back then to run that bland tech demo while i was taking names in kicking asses in Quake 3 arena and UT2004.

>>383843383
Crysis has miniguns and gauss rifles (minigun fucking sucks tho) and one of the best shotguns ever put in a video game.

Also you can fight enemies with your firsts.

>muh arena shooters
Oh, you're one of THOSE people.

>>383815492
How the fuck has it still not been surpassed?

>>383841661

The problem with those games is their failure to utilize more than one core, and since games have become multi-core focused, single threaded performance in modern cpu's has been pushed aside since multi-core performance offers better utilization than single core in games. Also this was during a time when single core cpu's were starting to hit a wall.

The statement "it was optimized for older hardware, older cpu's in particular" is flat wrong.

will we ever get something close as the successor to crysis? as in something that manages to do the same stuff that did crysis on 2007(push hardware to the limit, actual advanced ai, superb foliage rendering, etc)?
are we doomed to get everything aimed at phone/netbook(aka consoleshit) tier hardware from now on?

Personally, I do not feel video games have advanced graphically since early 7th gen. Texture resolution have improved, there are shaders now, some better animations, but developers have lost the art of doing more with less. Late 6th gen titles still impress me graphically to this day with what they deliberately set out to do by pushing technology. Modern devs could easily match their scope, but don't because the challenge isn't there anymore. Games become insipid, visually, technically, competitively.
