Yeah, but can it run Crysis?

 

[spentshells]

HA it looks like garbage.

 

[stevo777]

Yeah, but what is the max resolution of the ports. Obviously, 2560x1200 isn't feasible, so, there has to be a hit in that sense.

 

[Trialsking]

As much as I hate consoles, it really doesn't look too bad. If you had a PC with similar hardware, ATI 1950 XT/ 7800GTX, it would not look that good running Crysis.

At least they did it correctly, make said game for PC, THEN port it to console. Too bad all future games will be destroyed on the PC because of consoles. And I fear the blasphemy that BF3 will be no exception Remember how much Crytek said that Crysis 2 was not a port, but it really was.

 

[flaminggerbil]

Meh, it's no ultra, but that's not exactly surprising considering the outdated crap running in every current console.

 

[tipoo]

So remastered now means toned down graphically?

 

[SpadeM]

You have to remember that even if you play it on a big screen, we're talking 720p aka 1280x720 resolution so yeah, i'm not surprised that it look good and runs smooth on the consoles.

 

[godfather666]

Come on, people. We have to admit, it looks pretty good. Not bad at all for hardware that is 5 years old. quite impressive, actually.

Just goes to show how well consoles run without Microsoft Bloatware dragging down performance. It's hard to imagine what type of performance games would have if a company released an OS designed primarily for games on the PC. Windows NT was never made for games, and is Microsoft, so slow.

Rumor is Google is working on something. If true, it would be like moving up a couple of generations at no cost. The gaming industry is big enough that a company could charge a couple of dollars per copy of a game sold, and make a lot of money on a clean, purposeful OS.

Without it, PCs are going to be an afterthought for gaming. Not surprising since gaming was an afterthought for Microsoft when creating NT. Without DOS/Win 95/98/ME to service that crowd anymore, they should think of creating a slim version too (they'd probably have to hire a company to do it, since they don't understand "fast" or "light"). If Google goes after the market, they may have no choice but to make an effort there. First you start with games, and then discover you don't need to boot into Windows to surf, etc..., and before you know it, you're using the new OS more and more. It's a potential danger for Microsoft if Google goes after the market.

I could run Crysis on an 8800GTS 320MB at 1280x720 with that visual quality or better, can't really apreciate fine detail in that short YouTube clip, stressing it's a YouTube clip.

except that will never happen, not with google taking the reins like you suggested. remember google already has chrome os and android, I don't see them being interested in something like this.

People are judging picture quality based off of crappy compressed YouTube videos? Idiots....

This will look as good as any other game on PS3/Xbox 360. I am a die-hard PC gaming fan but am actually pretty excited for this as my brother has a PS3 and thought Crysis was pretty awesome when watching me play it on my desktop.

It's not that windows is bloated or unoptimized. It's simply not possible to bypass the OS entirely on PC, because then companies would need to make another version of the game for every single possible hardware combination. And that obviously isn't feasible.

There's simply no way to reach the same performance on equivalent hardware in a PC and a console, because without the abstraction created by the OS it's impossible to make a game that would run on more than one hardware configuration. No matter how well optimized the OS is, that won't ever change. How optimized windows is is up for debate, but it isn't the fault of the OS that consoles are faster on the same hardware. I'd be suprised if even an OS built for speed would be any faster than what we have anyway, as games would still have to run through some sort of API.

 

[darkchazz]

Great, hope console owners enjoy it.
Now, can I have uncharted, halo, killzone, gears of war, heavy rain.....etc on my pc please?

[citation][nom]TA152H[/nom]Blah blah, some inane nonsense about a "gaming OS".[/citation]

You may be the only person who doesn't realise you have no idea what you're talking about. They've already made a "gaming" OS, it's called a console.

The gaming industry is big, but in no way could it support the development and life cycle of this gaming OS you speak of for personal computers. You realize most of the money these days for the gaming industry comes from consoles? You know, that piece of hardware with the gaming OS you're crying about.

Don't get me wrong, Games are made with computers and I'd rather they stay there, but if you think for one sane second that a company that has any interest in profit would abandon the business sector and move stricly to gaming for a negligible increase in performance then you have no grasp on reality.

I'd hate to be "that guy," but here we go:

This is exactly why the single core iPhone can compete with dual core Android phones. More optimization, less fragmentation, etc etc. When dev's create a game for consoles, they are usually only targeting the 360 and PS3. This allows them to code their games 99.9% efficiently. Send it over to the PC, the game is less efficient with it's given resources. Luckily PC's have evolved leaps and bounds over console hardware, which makes it easy to ignore this inefficiency.

Wtf is with the blue underlined keywords? Oh, Tom's... Not you too. Everytime someone hovers over a keyword you guys make $0.002, don't you?

Didn't expect this from you, Tom's...

 

[darkchazz]

Crytek are so dumb, why reboot the story in crysis 2 when you ARE going to release the original one on consoles ?!

 

[upgrade_1977]

Love Crysis 2!! I don't care what anyone says, it's an awesome game. Even better with the patches. Amazed they can even get the original to run on the consoles. But I would not call the game play on the consoles "smooth". Look up any PC vs. Console video comparison and you will see the console versions are both stuttering and of lower quality. Can't really compare without the proper equipment though. Love to see how one of those consoles look and perform compared to a pc with one of the new Ultra HD t.v.'s...
