Do Graphics Really Need to Get Any Better?

Leviathyn.com | I still remember the first time I got to the top of a Nepalese hotel in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. After a long and arduous journey up to the top of the building, I was greeted with one of the most beautiful vistas I had ever seen in a video game. I could see off into the beautiful green mountains, and had a fantastic view of the war-torn metropolis below.

Sacrafices had to be made for Uncharted 3 Graphics slightly due to 3D.

SlavisH24648d ago

isn't this what Nintendo said about the wii? We all know how that went, DAMN!

taquito4648d ago

on pc they get better every year, and since 2007, crysis 1, nothing on console has ever even come close

ps3 peaked with uncharted 2, xbox 360 peaked with gears 2/3

BitbyDeath4648d ago (Edited 4648d ago )

What is this opposite day?
PC peaked with Crysis 1 in 2007. (excluding games using Mods)

PS3 and 360 have been continually getting better every year

Refer to Last of Us/GoW and Halo 4

taquito4648d ago (Edited 4648d ago )

lol...ur a funny little girl

uncharted 3 looked FAR worse than 2, have never seen a game on ps3 look as good as uc2. last of us isnt out, all you've seen so far is fake, halo 4 looks like CRAP compared to gears 1, let alone 2 or 3

"Do Graphics Really Need to Get Any Better?"

Yes.

ShaunCameron4648d ago

Oh? That same Crysis that most PC's couldn't run? LOL

srcBFMVBMTH4647d ago (Edited 4647d ago )

Crysis only really had graphics going for it. Crytek are really one of those devs who choose to only focus on visuals. They pretty much neglect everything else.

In Crysis

The
Story/Dialogue was stupid
Characters were one dimensional
AI was absolutely garbage
and the Gameplay was so meh

I do agree graphics need to be upgraded but I don't think they should be the main focus.

srcBFMVBMTH4647d ago (Edited 4647d ago )

You are blind as a motherfu.. if you think Uncharted 2 looked better than 3. hahahaha

HOLY CRAP, that has got to be the most idiotic thing I've ever read!

Thanks for the laugh kid. :)

shivvy244648d ago

it would be great if it got better but the problem is game development cost too much nowdays and in my opinion it should be gameplay > graphics ,, uncharted series has great greamplay and graphics due to the shitload of funding from sony and because its "naughty dog"

Playing it right now looks amazing! :D
so much fun, i hope they make a vr mod for crysis 2 / 3 too!

DivineHand125156d ago

This is amazing. This is the direction VR should go in to boost adoption. Since I have beaten every Crysis except 1, this is now a good excuse to correct that problem.

Crytek Wanted Crysis To Be "Future-Proof"

According to Crytek CEO Cervat Yerli, "I want[ed] to make sure Crysis does not age, that [it] is future proofed, meaning that if I played it three years from now, it should look better than today." Yerli and the team designed Crysis' highest graphical settings for the PC hardware of 2010 and beyond.

While Crytek has officially announced Crysis 4 is in development, nothing new has surfaced. For now, gamers' only way to scratch that itch is to play the Crysis Remastered Trilogy available on PC and consoles.

OG 2007 Crysis (not the remastered weirdo), is & will forever be a legend amongst the PC community.

PrinceOfAnger161d ago

This video will always be impressive to me, even for years to come. Some things here are better than games we have today, OG crysis is the best version!

RaidenBlack160d ago

OG Crysis physics, man ... amazing! Thanks for the reminder!

PrinceOfAnger160d ago (Edited 160d ago )

Looks really nice with VR mod too

FinalFantasyFanatic160d ago

I'm still shocked that it looks as good as it does today, puts some modern games to shame.

Profchaos159d ago

I thought the remaster was fine tbh some rough edges at launch but after some patches it's decent

I mean the lighting and physics still hold up extremely well. I still revisit it from time to time.

RedDeadLB160d ago

That CPU performance thing is preventing it.

isarai159d ago

Yeah unfortunately Crystek's decision to bet on the linear progression of clock speed in CPUs was derailed by the unforseen shift towards multicore CPUs. It just wasn't built with that in mind because that wasn't even in the conversation at the moment

DivineHand125160d ago

I remember when I tried to play Crysis with my Intel Pentium Dual core E2200 @2.2GHz , 4GB ram and GeForce 9400gt. I was a kid back then and that was the best I could do. I would get about 15 to 20 fps. When I over clocked the CPU to 2.8GHz I would get about 40fps. The experience wasn't good at all and it was the only PC game I could not run back then unless and put the settings on low. At that point the game went from cutting edge graphics to PS2 graphics. To this day I haven't completed the OG Crysis. I was able to complete Crysis 2 and 3 after building a new PC when I got my first job.

HyperMoused160d ago

Never played it, worth a try you think?

Profchaos159d ago (Edited 159d ago )

Worth a try just because it's the only game that lets you pick up a turtle on the beach and throw it at enemy soldiers that should have been a back of the box feature.

But nah seriously unless you're nostalgic for it I'm not sure if it will hold up

Crytek went so overboard on the Crysis tech and sent devs to photograph leaves in Haiti

"The shader work that came out of this was mind-blowing at times."

RaidenBlack173d ago

Amazing, often misunderstood
The dumb AI was deliberate, so that the players can explore and experiment with the world and all the features.

vTuro24172d ago

It really is. Most people only remember it for its graphics but the gameplay was equally amazing.

RaidenBlack173d ago

Hope they try to pour nearly same amount of dedication to the new Crysis 4

DefenderOfDoom2173d ago

Well worth the extra work ! I enjoyed all 3 Crisis games and would also love a new one .

JunonZanon173d ago (Edited 173d ago )

Still wish game development was overall this passionate and minutious about their projects. Obviously, there are still some great studios as exceptions.

LikAChicken172d ago

I’ll never forget Far Cry 2 and the amount of details they packed in.

Yea there were some issues with the gameplay loop and the sickness aspect but you could tell they really tried to nail details.

DivineHand125172d ago

I haven't beaten the first Crysis but I did play Crysis 2 and Crysis 3. I know some PC players were annoyed by the last 2 games being developed with consoles in mind but I believe it was an improvement. I had a great time with Crysis 3 to the point where I believe it was too short.
