Sample was meant to be for next gen sampling, it's a DX11 benchmark, ie only the latest PC hardware can run that, and not even always smooth, and it's not even a game so skips having any calculations games do, just to show visuals. So yeah that puts Crysis to shame in complexity really, plenty of room for extra power to improve things Nyaa

It did look beautiful but nothing so advanced that I feel it is something I have never seen before. I am sure it is doing many things with the lighting and who knows what else that makes it hard to run but it's not that far ahead visually as what we are playing now I feel. I can totally imagine a game playing in that world.

Did you actually watch in HD (with the link, not the tiny embed)? That's the point of high res, to see stuff low res doesn't show. If so, you're blind ma man. You can see every individual stone on the roads and on the walls, not as a normal map on a mostly flat surface but as actual geometry, you can see proper grass that doesn't look like a bunch of sprites and proper shadows on it, look at the detail of that pipe thing it zooms past at one point (And it's just a tiny part of the whole thing!), or the way that metal structure has realistic bends and texture showing it was handmade or whatever, and there's no texture flaw in sight whatsoever. So no, it's not just smoother Nyaa

Also, like I said, it's only a sample of what's to come. After all, we're not in next gen Nyaa, this is still current gen for PC, just the latest and greatest of it. I expect consoles will arrive alongisde the next graphics cards models which will consider these tech demos child's play and go well beyond them.

My computer probably can't run the video. LOL

Ok I saw some but yeah what am I supposed to be seeing that is so incredible. Its a pretty world they created there. Buildings, trees, stone flooring, beautiful lighting, I have seen it all before, maybe not as smooth but close enough.

Correct, the PC are getting more powerful, but there is no incentive to further push technological barriers in games. More powerful PC are still being developed for simulation and engineering work, but it seems we reached a peak in games, for now!

 Plus Crysis 2 will be on consoles, will it run perfectly, probably not but it will still look close to the PC version. 

 Did you see Crysis 2? Ever wondered why the switched from a Jungle setting to an Urban one? Think about it for a second! And have we even seen the console version of Crysis 2?  Big assumption you are making there.

 So yeah Crysis does not prove me wrong, try again. And I would actually love to see something, so if I am missing a game please show me cause I would honestly love to be wowed.

 It does prove you wrong, read your original statement

There is no where for the HD systems to go. GoW3 is like the best looking game ever

 

Dvader said:

That is a good reason. Anyway I just want to say that Iga is wrong, that is all.Nyaa

 If you want to be an obnoxious asshole like me, you have the following ingredients.

  • Be obnoxious and an ass
  • Be right

You got the first part right, still could use more venom, but it will do. The second part, yeah, not so much.

Be sure to get both parts right, getting the second part wrong will only make you look like a fool.

Yes we have seen the console versions of Crysis 2 in that E3 video, it was just sample parts but we still saw it.

I asked you a simple question, show me something that looks like a generational leap and you gave me Crysis you failed. You did not show me anything, so you failed. I ask again, SHOW me something or just admit there is nothing right now that looks like it is a generation above everything else. I am not asking for explinations or tech videos or whatever, I am looking for a game that you seem to believe exists.

So again I ask a very very simple question, SHOW me a game that looks a generation ahead of everything else.

Metro 2033 on PC with a DX11 card is close.

Still, even if there were no games that did this, it doesn't mean PCs aren't capable of it. It's just that console gaming is where the money's at, so any game will cater to thsoe first, and only add a few enhancements for PC, as opposed to making a game that takes full advantage of it. Hell, that's the case with Metro 2033 too.
67199_Metro2033-DirectX11-Screenshot-01.jpgStill, given your last response to me, you're blind man Nyaa
Stupid auto resizing, that's meant to be viewed in beyond-HD res, otherwise all he texture quality isn't shown.

And the first Crysis with the right settings will likely look way better than Crysis 2 console still. Of course the PC version of 2 will also be beyond it despite being held back. Of course you won't notice with that eyesight Nyaa

I could reduce my PC settings for all multiplatform games and play it on console-like settings but um, I don't because the difference is damn obvious. Like said water in Just Cause 2 for example. If you don't notice differences, good for you I guess. Heck, some people can't even tell the difference between 30 and 60 fps. That must be quite blissful indeed... Why hasn't excessive gaming ruined my eyesight too Sad

Holy shit that Metro 2033 footage is mindblowing.

By this year's end I will finally build my long planned gaming rig. This I swear.

Don't judge the gameplay from that clip btw, he's playing it like shit. At that point you're supposed to do a couple of objectives to advance, otherwise enemies spawn constantly in waves, but he's just messing about. And then he gets owned. You can turn off your flashlight and try to be stealthy and enemies will ignore you and run to the NPCs that take care of them while you do your thing if you play right, you'll only need to kill  a few at that point.

 No, not even close. Still wrong though, keep trying you might get it right sometimes

Oh and read this


Iga_Bobovic said:

Or course you will deny that that does not constitute a generational leap, but who cares. Your original statement was that PS3 and 360 has no way to go power wise. Crysis proves you wrong.

 Oh look at that, I correctly predicted what you were going to say. 

Besides generation leap is a subjective thing, you can keep denying all you want, but there is nothing with the scale and detail like Crysis on the consoles.

Ok that video was awesome, Iga that is how you needed to respond. That was stunning, that game moved in a way that the games I am playing on PS3 don't

The other video though had no actual gameplay, had no characters on screen, had no actual gameplay camera. It wasn't that impressive, it showed a pretty world thats about it. I still dont get what I was supposed to be so wowed by in that other tech video.

Really, like how I knew you were going to use Crysis as your example. So easy to predict. Nyaa

And again you ignore my question. Oh well. Yes I know its subjective but at least make an attempt like Agnates did. Crysis is not going to make me jump out of my chair and buy a new $500 console.

I play Metro in DX10 btw Sad

Still looks better than console version with some impressive effects though. I especially like the volumetric lighting and godrays. Anyway, I'm not a graphics whore, I love my PSP and Wii, but there's certainly a vast difference from top PC end to current consoles, even if it's reduced by the amount of porting.

Yeah, it's not even funny. A proper high end gaming set up can play flawlessly any game at retardedly high resolutions that put the measly 720p-ish and the console holy grail (which few, if any console games have been able to achieve natively anyway) 1080p to shame.

 Of course I ignore your question, because it is a subjective and stupid question. We are talking about technology here, the cool thing about it is, that we can keep stuff objective. Generational leap is not subjective, a games that runs 1080p at 60 frames per second with fully destructible environment is much more objective and more easily disprovable/provable. Which is a question you ignored.


Dvader said:

 You are barking at the wrong tree here. I only have a Wii, I am not a PC gamer like Agnates. And I was actually impressed by the graphics and sound when playing Castlevania 3 on the Virtual Console. I am not the one to ask what constitutes impressive graphics. And no, I do not believe we should jump to next gen already. I am perfectly happy with what we got now, but I see that PCs are more powerful that HD consoles. That is just what it is. And I do not want next gen just to be increase in graphics either. 

But does not change the fact that you are wrong, very wrong. But you admitted that already, but let me rub it in. WRONGGGGGGGGGG Nyaa

 I hear that they had a hard time getting the Crysis engine running on consoles. Crysis 2 on consoles and PC is a commercial reason not a technical one. They already said that the sequel was more linear and constrained because of consoles.
