Looks pretty sweet and this game looks really fantastic.

But my rig can't handle it....

Godmars2904152d ago (Edited 4152d ago )

So is its going to be extended CG cutscenes to reboot/reestablish the plot among the fandom.

Yeh...

pr0digyZA4152d ago

I assume its either to bridge the story or to just be a companion piece.

Those shots weren't CG btw.

Godmars2904152d ago

Its was a mix of CG, and shots of a director doing cinematography. Chatting up what he was doing, what EA was doing, was the work of God.

pr0digyZA4152d ago

It was all in engine though as can be seen from this video
watch in 1080

Hopefully the Seven Wonders of Crysis 3 are:

1. Eye popping graphics
2. Wider sandbox
3. Awesome soundtrack
4. Replay value
5. More nanosuit functions
6. Better AI
7. Better multiplayer

And I'll be sold.

Oh,it's gonna be from the Menace II Society/Dead Presidents dude.

HeavenlySnipes4152d ago

I really hoped they would reboot the franchise now that it hit the consoles. The story is boring and the gameplay follows suit (Crysis 2 at least). The characters are all forgettable as well. It'd be nice to have a face to the franchise and have the game be about more than the graphics.

Crysis 2's MP was basically Call of Duty with invisibility. I won't say it wasn't fun during my time playing it, but I wasn't compelled to continue after 15 hours total.

And if they didn't fix the lol worthy AI from Crysis 2 then I won't waste my time with this one

Norrison4152d ago

It all went downhill when crysis came to consoles, hopefully crytek will redeem with this game.
I'm not hating on consoles though, they should have one team for PC and one team for consoles so both can have the best experience not this "lead platform" bullshit.

I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥

SonyStyled129d ago

I was able to find games in the Vietnam dlc on ps3 the last week. There were articles on here about the server closure when it was announced in April

DaReapa129d ago

BF1943 is the only online MP game that I was genuinely interested in. Been playing since launch 14 years ago. Hate that I couldn't put in as much time to play as I'd hoped for during the final week.

Inverno129d ago

I got really into 43 when I bought Bf3, and preferred it. Everything that I disliked or found annoying about Bf3, wasn't an issue in 43. Too bad they never bothered releasing it on PS4 or PC.

1nsomniac129d ago (Edited 129d ago )

Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!

anast129d ago

Once people stop buying micros, these companies close the doors.

Xenial129d ago

Dead Space 2 multiplayer had been hanging on for years - I'd boot my PS3 up to see some familiar names in lobbies. This will definitely be missed!

The Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn & more running in 8K/30fps on NVIDIA GeForce RTX3090

Yep. Wait a couple of years and get this level of performance on a RTX 4070 or 4080 at a much lower price.

Killer73nova1276d ago

And wait a couple more years for rtx 5070 or 5080 at a much much lower price

Yung-T1277d ago (Edited 1277d ago )

That headline is a tad misleading.
The rig stated in that YouTube video is extremely high-end (ryzen 3950x oc, 32gb etc) and utilizing special water-cooling solutions, loops with pumps etc.

This rig easily costs 5k+ and a normal pc with a RTX 3090 wouldn't get close to these framerates or sustainable temperatures.

Aggesan1277d ago

Who has a "normal" pc with a RTX 3090?

Yung-T1277d ago (Edited 1277d ago )

There's still a difference between a high-end GPU+CPU and a custom-made water cooling system including a Waterloop&pumps etc though, it allows for much higher performance due to the better temperature management that would fry the GPU&CPU with normal builds.

lonewolf101277d ago

That's why people need to read the articles, most headlines are just to get you to click.

Rainbowcookie1277d ago

You would think yes, but honestly does it happen often 🤣 enough

I_am_Batman1277d ago (Edited 1277d ago )

Most of the threads of the 3950x were barely utilized and none of the games that were tested allocated more than ~12.5GB of system memory. Gaming at 8k is pretty much as GPU bound as you can get so you won't need a water cooled high-end CPU or 32GB of memory.

Psychotica1277d ago (Edited 1277d ago )

How does the cost of the PC make the headline misleading?

Mega powerful video card but the games you can play on that card are all available elsewhere. I want to see compelling pc only goty material titles ASAP

Psychotica1277d ago

And where else can you run them in 8K or even in 4K with the same level of performance?

averagejoe261277d ago

Who cares? Nobody has 8k screens and the majority don't even have 4k screens.

This push for pointless high resolution is ruining progress. Give us better framerates, lighting, physics, etc. Stop wasting power on needles 8k.

lonewolf101277d ago

@averagejoe26

There are people with 8k monitors though.

Bender65021277d ago

And still we can't escape 30fps.

JCOLE131951277d ago

I mean given the fact the games are running at 8K it doesn’t surprise me...

MrDead1277d ago

DLSS 2.0 no doubt has a big part in this too, The Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn and Death Stranding run like a dream on my 3080, 4k ultra set to 60fps no drops or stutters and the system runs very quiet. Playing Borderlands 3 on badass settings, Red Dead or Division 2 on 4k ultra all run great (Red Dead has a few drops below 60fps) but my PC is working a lot harder on games that don't utilise DLSS, my room warms up nicely when playing those games.
