Crysis’s DX10 Features No Longer DX10 Exclusive

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

What a surprise! An arbiterary barrier was preventing DX9 video cards to experience the highest fidelity possible for Crysis?! Who could have imagined such a travesty?!

Well, with Crysis: Warhead, Crytek have stated that they’re allowing DX9 video cards to experience the former DX10 exclusive special effects. If they’re up to snuff, that is.

I will be able to partake in all the graphical glory just as soon as I get a new beefy video card into my PC.

No idea why they’ve released them in sets of two, but for your viewing pleasure, I bring you these screenshots:

EA/Crytek Confirms Incoming Warhead

Thursday, June 5th, 2008

It’s been confirmed. A day after the teaser site was unveiled, EA/Crytek have confirmed that Crysis Warhead is coming this autumn. It’s a “parallel story during the events of the original game” — in other words: an expansion for the PC.

More details this summer.

Crysis Warhead Incoming

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

The teaser site suggests that something Crysis related is coming. Is this the much rumored console port or is this a PC expansion which would conveniently answer the reason why no additional patches are being released for the original.

Hey, if it’s a PC expansion, perhaps I’ll have a new video card by then.

Pyro Getting Updates. Crysis Not.

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

Admittedly, I didn’t get a chance to try out the new medic updates for Team Fortress 2 — there was just too much other stuff to play at the time. What was it? Oh yeah, GTAIV. Well, perhaps I’ll try the medic update along with the upcoming Pyro update.  If you’ve been wondering about those comical TF2 class skits, the next one will be the Sniper.

Unfortunately, we have no idea when any of these are coming nor any details about these updates, but at least Valve is providing updates to TF2 unlike what Crytek is doing with Crysis. “At this time, there almost certainly will not be a patch 1.3 delivered for Crysis.”
