Forums - PC - Real Life or Crysis?

cherry picked, enough said.

On another note Shio I don't know why you even bother hanging around VGchartz, there's loads of forums with the whole membership made up of PC gaming nutters and I can tell you now they are more into it that you :P

Go find your destiny!

 

Who bit your ass in  a non sexual way this morning? Yeesh.



You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.

For many nerds, playing Crysis is the closest they'll ever get to seeing a real forest from the inside.

Yeah, very well rendered and hi res. Much more then 1080p or anything of the such. You should see the water effects on this thing they call "the ocean" its pretty beastly. The devolpers made the sun too bright when on it though. Can cause eye problems. But over all very pretty.

It's been a while since I've read up on this but iirc the research indicates that most people can't see better than 1080p at proper viewing distance.  The advantage real life has is that you have full control over the camera and can get as close as you want to stuff and the textures are all good enough that they don't blur even when/if you essentially touch them to your eyeball.

More than that though your actual resolution is somewhat of a trick question, you have fairly low resolution throughout your peripheral vision and then within your field of focus you have very good vision...since whatever you're examining your eyes naturally flow to, it ultimately makes the mind think everything is percieved that well when in reality you're seeing only a very small portion of that detail at any given time.

 Doubt this because then the modern movies at the movie theatre wouldn't be filmed and showed in 2500x1500 (or is it even 3500x2000 or something).



I just finished Crysis last night. Bloody hell. After console gaming exclusively for 6 years, the game just blew my mind.

I'm starting Warhead tonight and then I'm moving on to the STALKER series.

i wont front... i cant tell lol... from this size nyways



And leo-j said that MGS4 is better looking game. =D It was epic thread...



I think the texture mod for crysis is actually amazing, I haven't actually tried it on my rig yet, but I think crysis can come pretty close to looking as real as currently possible with our GPU limitations.

@Baggins, coming from you means nothing(I'm pretty sure I've heard you talk about graphics in KZ2).

I actually think Crysis warhead looks better, they made some nice improvements on faces, IMO.
