Huh, I guess i'm being massively CPU limited. I only hover around 30fps on the medium preset with a 660ti.

Phenom II 840

 

[I H8 Memes]

Wow that was a huge Origin update. Cant even remember the last time I opened it up.

 

[nOoblet16]

Wow on 360 this game looks uglier than Crysis 2, especially the Airplane map.

 

[Enco]

Looks pretty great on PC but it's just anther generic online game.

Absolutely nothing stunning or new.

 

[derFeef]

Get away with your "download only available from x to x" Origin, I am not located in Germany - ugh.

Yeah, FPS games with nanosuit super powers are a dime a dozen now.

CryEngine 3 demo video.

Wow, it has a lens flare editor, J.J. Abrams using CryEngine 3 confirmed.

Haha yeah, Origin you fucking piece of shit.

 

[Heysoos]

I've changed a bunch of settings and my 560ti still can't get past 30fps. Oh well. :/

I don't know whether this works for you or not, but if you acquire access to the beta through the Crysis 3 Facebook App you can verify your age so that you are able to download at all hours (even if you were located in Germany): https://www.facebook.com/crysis.de/app_208195102528120

 

[GoddyofAus]

Just had a couple of hours play time. It's not bad at all. Gorgeous with a 670 even though I had random framerate dips here and there. I would consider buying it were it not for Origin.

In short, Fuck EA.

 

[RadioactiveLobster]

First thing I learned was disable Vsync.

It seems to lock you at 30 FPS if it even thinks of performing below 60 FPS.

Wow 4xMSAA literally halves performence from a solid 30+ to 16fps on my 6950 2GB.

Looks like I will be sticking with FXAA as I seemed to still be getting 30+ average with it on everything else maxed.

So I guess the people without Facebook have to wait? :/

 

[Nivert]

Hunter mode is pretty damn awesome. I didn't really care about the other mode but throwing shields at people is fun.

 

[Felix Lighter]

How's it running on AMD cards?

 

[BobTheSpy]

Hey GAF, the Crysis 3 beta isn't appearing in Origin for me - is that weird? Do you have to download it from somewhere? I was told it should be in "my games", but it's totally not.

 

[ScepticMatt]

I'd rather use a SMAA variant than MSAA (SMAA 4x is at least as good as 4x MSAA IMO)

 

[FLAguy954]

AMD A10-4600M
7660G Integrated Graphics
8 GB Ram

I'm getting 30 fps locked with occasional upwards and downwards spikes. All settings are on low except for textures and anisotropic filtering which are both maxed out.

Spoiler

I'll get a gaming rig after I save for a car, which could be a while :/

 

[BigTnaples]

How's it running on AMD cards?

Pretty great, then again this is multi only and some features seem to be toned down.

Pleasantly suprised to max it out on my 6950 2GB though.

 

[Elixist]

How's it running on AMD cards?

runs great for me 7950 oc.

 

[Biggzy]

How's it running on AMD cards?

6870 here and everything is on high, 1080p and I am getting about 45fps.

 

[BraXzy]

Need to give this a go when I get home. Gotta be honest, it looks no different to Crysis 2 from the previews I saw. The graphics, the UI.. Any opinions on it?

Good to hear. The eye candy is tempting but I'll wait for a sale, I think.

Not working ... but thanks for the tip.

 

[Overdoziz]

The graphics are so great that they take a few seconds to appear each time you respawn. They even let you appreciate it more by slowing the game down to about 15 fps so you can really let it soak in.

 

[Square Triangle]

Wow, this game is ugly as hell on consoles

 

[KKRT00]

Its actually better

I laughed.

Looking forward to playing this tonight with some buds.

[Enco]

Yeah, FPS games with nanosuit super powers are a dime a dozen now.

We had the exact same thing in Crysis 1 and 2.

 

[GoddyofAus]

We had the exact same thing in Crysis 1 and 2.

Probably because that's, you know, the theme of the franchise?

 

[Zimbardo]

getting 60fps much of the time @ 1080p, using D3Doverrider for the triple buffered vsync.

Very High settings with Very High texture resolution + FXAA.

Hunter mode is decent, but at the moment, i still prefer Crash Site ...which was my favorite game mode from Crysis 2.

using:
i5 760 @ 3.85ghz
8gig ram
msi gtx 680 4gig

 

[Sanic]

TXAA is pretty awesome, and looks much better in motion/not compressed.

 

[Valnen]

We had the exact same thing in Crysis 1 and 2.

And what else? That's not exactly a dime a dozen.

 

[Tzeentch]

The 360 shots look pretty damn terrible.

 

[Waaghals]

I think the 360 shots look pretty decent, all things considered. Direct feed console shot often look horrible, even with a functional AA implementation.

Probably looks better while playing.

 

[Guymelef]

What is for triple buffering?
I install D3Doverride and force triple buffering for the game as someone said me.
Go from ~30fpm as minimun to 40fps as minimun.

 

[SniperHunter]

game is boring, crysis 2 multiplayer was fun for a while and this just feels like an add on....nothing new and honestly the graphics don't look all that great to me (playing on very high 7970)

looking forward to the single player stuff

 

[Grief.exe]

Is there mouse acceleration? The aiming feels really strange.

 

[mxgt]

Game performs alright at 1080, takes a massive nose dive at 1440 though.

SLI ain't working though, doubt I can be bothered to fix it, Crysis MP is fucking horrendous so I'll wait for the full game.

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

I'm kinda confused as to why they don't have regular deathmatch in the beta. Crash site isn't really that different from Crysis 2's version and deathmatch was way more popular as usual.

Edit: I also don't understand why gaffers hate crysis multiplayer so much. It's just a mix between COD and Halo with super powers. Which is awesome to me; power jumping and ledge grabbing feels so great in this game.

You just answered your own question.

Sort of, I mean I know people hate COD...but I figured it's because it was the same modern military shooter for the 10th time and the killstreaks and other things make everything unbalanced. Crysis kill streaks aren't as crazy, it's harder to get kills, it's sci fi, YOU HAVE SUPER POWERS. How many shooters do that? It also looks beautiful.

Wow that looks terrible. There's no depth at all to the lighting. That that depth of field in the background...

 

[Toa TAK]

So after playing, I feel like this is just the same thing as Crysis 2 multiplayer, but with vehicles.

And honestly, I can't tell which one looks better anymore. Cry2 or 3?

 

[Mr.Fresh]

Is it out on 360 or PS3? I wanna try it. I got the first Crysis on PS3 in a sale for $7 so I wanna see how much has changed.

 

[Zeth]

Actually a bit surprised by how well it's running for me on my 660Ti. Looks pretty nice too.

Kind of hesitant to try the new Nvidia beta drivers, not sure if it will make much of a difference with a 660Ti.

 

[teokrazia]

The graphics seems overdemanding for what it offers, but I like it.

I love Airport, both visually and gameplay-wise:
http://youtu.be/jQY2FcsiTIw

As a fan of acrobatic gameplay, I'm disappointed to not have the chance to try Maneuverability perk. As a fan of shotties, I'm worried about Jackal: it doesn't appear neither in the locked stuff.

In general it seems more polished and enjoyable than Crysis 2 MP (God bless the unlimited sprint!), and I think it could give me some very funny times, but hit registration is still not so good enough to make this MP something that can be seriously taken from a competitive perspective.

 

[Spazznid]

lol @ graphics and gameplay negatives.

This game looks mile ahead of C2 without Maldo and once Maldo has a hand at this? Game over.

Plays WAY better than C2 and even more fun IMO than C Warhead.

Runs smooth as butter, to boot.
