From what i've read it sounds like its gonna own. Its kinda like FarCry, only with Aliens. What do you expect when it comes from the new CryTech engine. Of course we are not gonna know for a while if its got good gameplay, but even if its just like FarCry its gotta be good.

But you don't want 'fuzzy depth' in a FPS, though.

I notice that in some shots there's 'fuzzy depth' and in others there isn't.

In-game vs cut-scene shots?

I bet a lot of them are just promo shots, best poses in the best place with DOF. But yeah, cinematics will more than likely use it and gameplay will not, they know better.

However, motion blur is a different thing, that will be on all the time.

Yeah, 'Depth Of Field' was the term I was looking for :)

Anyway, looks sex.

I didn't have to scroll either, but I don't like pictures bloating up my screen. If I want to look at a big version of it, I'll click it.

Wow that looks amazing, can't wait to see the generation of games that come out when these graphics are old news.

Just so you know, Crysis is so high detail that the PS3 and 360 cant actually run it in its highest mode.

EDIT: Not that its coming to next gen consoles, or plans for it. Its never going to appear. But lets face it, 5x 1024x1024 minimum for a FACE alone...

Is there actually any games producers that are able to create a good _PLAYING_ game ? Getting fucking tired of these spec hogs which gameplay sucks ass.

I agree completely, I haven't found an FPS that was as fun as Quake 3.

It is true that most games seem to be sexy but shite to play :(

Its a shame really, but thats what sells consoles these days. Whats prettier.

Yeah for the most part... there are a few good ones out there though now that I think about it like Halo. Even though some of you think it's crap, which it obviously isn't and only a stubborn child would think so.

First was great, second was so-so.

For once I agree.

halo was alright in the same way that goldeneye was. A great first for consoles but PCs had been there, done that.

Yeah absolutely, I'm comparing them in terms of how much fun they were. Between the two I'd say Quake 3 is definitely the better of the two but I wouldn't say Halo wasn't fun either.

But overall sure, a computer rocks for FPS games but when you're sitting around the house with some buddy's a console and a couple tv's are a lot more fun then trying to setup a lan. :p

This shot from the link u gave looks like previous-generation graphics tech (kinda crappy). What do you think?

Apparently one of the lead devs. said that 'everything we've shown so far is running on directx9 tech'. So if you have a good directx9 card you should see the stuff the've shown so far. It will probably look a lot better when they show off dx10 footage, maybe during e3?

Very good!
I'm told that they will dominate E3 (crytek)

Look how far away things are there... it's perfectly fine. The lod there looks like the best one yet, better than oblivion or the farcry (which was the champ before that).
