What is sad is they will blame the early leak and piracy for the bad sales on PC, not their piss poor support and broken promises.

Well considering how much faster the Radeons are in Warhead, why wouldn't they not pay to ask Crytek to "re-optimize" their DX11 path? :p:Quote:

No Crysis I. It runs really well on ATI Hardware.Quote:

Crysis I and warhead on maxed out DX9 codepath seemed to look better than what i played with the beta ...
It explains why DX11 mode didnt work in it also :P.
BTW , just enabling DX10/DX11 wont make game any better looking, its the use of those effects.What i fear the most is that we will lose geometry and texture detail due to it being console port :/.
crysis 2 uses dynamic global illumination even with dx9. no other game does this in any way shape or form.
its just amazing how the word dx9 has taken on such a skewed meaning. you can write insane shaders in dx9 and you can have massive textures.
although dx10 is an improvement over dx9 it is a complete overhaul of the API. you only get modest improvements with massive effort. i can only speculate so much but i just see it as impractical to redo everything for a 2011 title on an engine that was started 5 years ago.
Hipro, i have write, i have exagerate a little bit on this... but :2 times in follow, this start to be really suspicious....
in november the game is ready in DX11 ( follow the beta ), Nvidia put 5 millions of dollars in this game, the game is pushed back to some month, and then DX11 is not ready ? after Hawx2, i can be really suspicious.
I don't blame Nvidia, the first i want blame is Crytek .... but realy marketing have push and pull this buizness since a long time .
I wont be surprised if Nvidia payed 5mil$ to got the dx11 features only -> CUDA and PhysX.Quote:

Honestly, if the game looks awesome or more importantly is fun to play, I wouldn't mind... but with crytek its always been about eye candy and using the latest tech... I remember when they added 64bit CPU support and HDR far before anybody else and it made far cry a whole new experience... it seemed that what other game debate struggled for months if not years, they could just patch on within a few weeks... which was so nice... now this...
This isn't crytek... what happened?
Seems almost like.somebody took over the company or the original crytek sold their brand and are partying on a tropical island right now :D
Tststs ...bummer...
I think that this is related to piracy. the game got leaked in pre-release form, people already have an idea how its going to play; but what makes this game is the graphics. if you but the game you'll get dx11...i know ea has a custom download client; they can check if the copy's legit, if so dx11 for you.
If i understand your premise correctly, you make the assumption, EA did this on purpose so people playing leaked beta wont have DX11 effects ?Quote:

For real... The company that soon after Crysis was released said that consoles were too weak to run their engine decently (And later on mentioned that they may run it in Medium graphic options) are now doing this... It's the most astonishing and crappiest shift in a company's philosophy and business model I've ever seen.Quote:

Cancels preorder. Will wait for Steam bargain offer next year.
This is just bull:banana::banana::banana::banana:, WTF Crytek, DX9 is like how old is it?
there is a slight problem with that, u cannot just do dx10, when u go dx10 u get the higher settings for texture quality, shadow mapping, ext... if u mod the configs u can set it to high or vary high and disable the dx10 layer and it looks the same except for the foliage lighting.Quote:

was actually going to buy this game..not anymore..not even after dx11 "update" ....this was suppose to be a great game with differences between pc and console..since its shaping up to be exactly the opposite i wont give my money for this at all..Good job crytek.
haha CONSOLE'D
And as a extra bonus to the shrinking PC community, Crytek will be taking on the major feat of adding Vista/Win7 support in a pach later this year! This news came shortly after the amazing announcment of Duel core CPU support in this newest title. :p:
Only a joke of course but seriously, DX9 only! If this is true I will not pay a penny for it. They could care less about PC sale these days. I just hope it will come around and bite them in the ass one day.
I swear somewhere I saw they "still remain committed to gaming on the PC" referring to the leak of the game that came out. After this announcement it sounds like they were just saving face. What a load of BS.
These problems crysis seem to have is typical for software companies who have lost their best programmers.
i am now so happy about canceling my pre order on steam. i swear to god if battlefield 3 does this same sh*t i am going to write quite an angry letter to EA, Crytek, and if the situation may be Dice
