I love the atmosphere the game has, and each level has a very nice feel to it. But in the trailer it said up to 1mil polygons per frame. From my understanding this is very low, i have in a notepad on my computer some person is talking about HS on the PS3 and they said they get up to 3mil per frame. "in some cases it's more close to 3M triangles per frame mark than 2M." They also talk about Lost Planet "In Lost Planet, each character is 10-20K polys. A VS robot is 30-40K polys. A background is about 500K. With shadows and other hidden rendering cost, it's about 3 million polys per frame."

The character models in the trailer also look pretty bad too, no where near what we have seen from HS, UT3, Gears2 or Killzone2. Let alone Crysis.

Actually this game is impressive for its lighting, and shaders. Also some nice texture work. I would say that there is a limit where you don't even notice alot of polygons anymore. This is kinda on the light side though seeing as the original xbox could do 500k polygons per frame at 60fps, and 1mln at 30fps at its peak. I wouldn't say polygons matter this generation as much as they did last. Actually they only mattered in the beggining of last generation until most games used enough polygons. I would rather have better textures, shaders and lighting than 3 times more polygons. Not to mention physics and AI.

 



The last stalker sold like 1.8 million copies and besides it not living up to its free world hype it was still a great game with an amazing atmosphere to it. But as they say pc gaming is dead.



Looks good. First one started a little slow (although I actually liked that) however once it picked up steam it was very good indeed. It actually remains one of the most menacing titles I've played when you had to venture underground into the dark.

I also really like the world it created, with its well thought out factions and incidental details. If they come through with the deeper interactions promised I'll be getting this on PC for sure.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

I think it looks about on par with COD4. As for the best looking game ever or even rivaling Crysis?

I don't think so.

 Time to get new spectacles dude.

I'm a few hours into the first one, moderately enjoying it, and don't think anything is absolutely mind-blowing about this trailer. This pretty nice, and I'll probably pick it up eventually.

 M8, you forgot to put your glasses on.

maybe they have just seen Crysis on very high? /shrug

Those are reasonable :)

Looking like a definite buy for me.

The amount of detail is absolutely stunning.



As others have said, the atmosphere is great, but from a technical standpoint it's nothing special.

That said, I'll take art over power any day.
