Crytek: Some Crysis 3 Visual Goodies Only for Super-High-End PCs

Spong :High-spec PC aficionados, worry not - Crytek is still on your side. Crysis 3 will be taking full advantage of those nuclear-powered towers you're rocking in your bedroom, if comments from Senior Creative Director Rasmus Højengaard are anything to go by. There will be "visual goodies that you can only get if you have a super-high-end PC," in fact.

"PC players fundamentally want Crysis to only be on PC, right?...we’re definitely pushing this game a lot from a visual standpoint, and for sure there’s going to be visual goodies in it that you can only get if you have a super-high-end PC."

Not even Crytek understands why Crysis 1 was superior to Crysis 2.

xtreampro4370d ago

So far the foliage and particle effects seen in the trailer and the new screen-shots look 100x's better than Crysis 1 so what are you complaining about?

Trust me this game will fully utilise your gaming PC and when he says "visual goodies" he basically means the whole game will look orders greater than the consoles versions.

You have to realise that the consoles ARE maxed out and that Cryteks priority this time will indeed be the PC version.

You have nothing to worry about, boring city streets aren't the going to be the only environments featured in this game.

Letros4370d ago

I was talking about gameplay decisions, like the lack of sandbox gameplay, not graphics.

humbleopinion4370d ago (Edited 4370d ago )

I found the sandbox in Crysis 1 lacking much more mainly because of the uninteresting AI. Crysis 2 AI still has a way to go, but it made the sandbox combat much more interesting in my opinion (even with the relatively smaller arenas).

Will this run on my Windows 2000 20lb laptop?

Hufandpuf4370d ago

I'm sure you'll be able to adjust the settings. But only if you like blocks.

Totoro174370d ago

lol...joking aside, I bought an Asus G73SW-3DE last year and I'm kinda bummed that games like this will only run on medium :(...but the great news is that games the past 10 years will play on the highest settings AND in 1080P 3D...Grand Theft Auto: Vice City in 3D has new life ;)

Eyesoftheraven4370d ago

Just optimize the hell out of it, please!

Basjohn4370d ago

Oh god yes.

Crysis 2 was almost as unoptimized as Crysis 1. I would suddenly start lagging and stuttering while staring at an empty patch of WALL but the game would run like butter during some massive fire-fights. I pray C3 is a different story.

And err...that you don't have 20 quick time event scenes where you get your ass auto kicked for no reason.

sriki0074370d ago

whatever anyone says. It'll better than
cod.
I also like the concept of using nano suit
in multiplayer.. You cant just run and
gun, you need a bit of skill and strategy.

Tyre4369d ago

Exactly i like the MP aswell. It's fun.

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

SonyStyled135d 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

DaReapa135d 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.

Inverno135d 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.

1nsomniac134d ago (Edited 134d ago )

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

anast134d ago

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

Xenial134d 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!

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

Killer73nova1282d ago

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

Yung-T1282d ago (Edited 1282d 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.

Aggesan1282d ago

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

Yung-T1282d ago (Edited 1282d 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.

lonewolf101282d ago

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

Rainbowcookie1282d ago

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

I_am_Batman1282d ago (Edited 1282d 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.

Psychotica1282d ago (Edited 1282d 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

Psychotica1282d ago

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

averagejoe261282d 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.

lonewolf101282d ago

@averagejoe26

There are people with 8k monitors though.

Bender65021282d ago

And still we can't escape 30fps.

JCOLE131951282d ago

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

MrDead1282d 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.
