Crysis 3

[JohnEJohn]

Do you see a timer somewhere or?

I have it in my library using a method that you shouldn't need to use anymore. States 'ready to download at 8:00 gmt"

[KAC]

How to get in the beta?

[JohnEJohn]

Apparently it should just pop up in your library at 8:00.

I have a none legit way that works, that's how I got mine but it's a lot of effort and only going to be worth it now if you don't see the game in your library in a few hours.

[nutcrackr]

8:00 which timezone?

[JohnEJohn]

8:00 which timezone?

From what I have read, GMT

So in one hour, hopefully that is correct

[JohnEJohn]

Just installed

Why do a mp open beta when the game is primarily played as sp?

bug testing? hype raising?

[icecold1983]

ironically enough im sure this beta will be nothing but negative press for pc gamers lol. cryteks own trailers are choppy and skippy as hell and make the mp look ****ing goofy

[PowerK]

Anyone started playing, yet ?? Is it 2007 all over again (or is it another 2) ? Is it going to melt my 690 Quad-SLI ?
Grr... I won't be able to see how it looks and runs until this weekend.

[clerick]

Hmmm no native crossfire for the beta. Any idea on profile?

Looking forward to your thoughts.

By the way, for those of you using Nvidia cards, don't forget to update your driver to v313.95 before trying Crysis 3 MP beta.

The mp is plenty of fun. I got crossfire to work by adding it in 3d profiles then looking for custom profile preset and finding crysis3.exe .

I have everything maxed out the default SMAA low (1x).

Game fps was anywhere from 75 to 120 and ran completely smooth.

I can't use these drivers at all. Every game I try to start causes game screen/black screen loop requiring re-post .

[nutcrackr]

not out in Aus yet

[Mangler]

Odd, it's out in the old world.

[PowerK]

It's out everywhere. This is global open beta.

[icecold1983]

has that console port feel where even with a mouse and keyboard it almost feels like ur aiming with a controller. performance isnt very impressive for the meh graphics. dont expect any of the **** u saw in any oif those tech videos

[fellix_bg]

Oh boy, that was one of the dullest MP gameplay I ever had. Well, Crysis was never any special in MP mode, but this one here just hit a new low.

How can an FPS shooter like L4D, with a far outdated engine, limited weapon selection and silly zombies running around, makes me want to stick for hours in, while the latest and greatest shiny Crysis is barely good for a couple of quick MP sessions?

[Mangler]

This game is almost unplayable, the mouse controls are horrible.

[nutcrackr]

doesn't sound like they fixed much from the alpha

[Mangler]

The hunter mode is kind of fun, but the map you play it on kind of looks like something you would expect out of an UE3 title.

It does look better, but it has the grey ut3/gears of war look

[Danny Nissan]

[Mangler]

I might be imagining things, but the mouse controls became better once I enabled sli.

[PowerK]

Do you play at 720p ??

[Mangler]

No

That's what I meant by the "feels like ur aiming with a joystick"

Some pics from the other map

[Hapatingjaky]

Those screens do not impress me at all, looks pretty bland, will wait for the full release and to see if all the screens and videos they've released will look anything like what they have claimed.

Highly doubt it, judging from peoples reaction so far.

[Argoon1981]

that is the best in game face I've seen in any game so far.

Imo the Crysis 1 face looks better, the airplane intro in Crysis 1 when nomad awakes and see his companion face is just fantastic, i don't know but this new Psycho face just looks strange to me maybe is the shading but it looks flat compared to the Crysis 1 face. The rest thou Looks very good indeed better then Crysis 1/2 that's for sure. But one thing that i don't like is the bf3 like dirty helmet effect it is just distracting next to bloody screen it should be a effect banned from fps's imo.

edit:Was responding to the gameplay video on page 8 or so but seeing the pics above changed my mind or the guy that toke them was playing on low settings or this game looks even flatter then Crysis 2!?

[Omega53]

The gfx in this beta are a joke. I hope the SP game looks significantly better or I will be sorely disappointed

Prepare to be Maximum Disappointed.

[Sazar]

Contemplated signing up for an Origin account. Decided against it.

No Crysis 3 for me? Maybe so... maybe so.

[Progression]

I'm not seeing the beta in my account.

Edit: I had to go to the demo section of the store.

[aop]

Seems like another case of "improved graphics" console port where all the computing power is wasted on slapped on post-processing effects instead of better quality assets like models, textures, material shaders etc. just like in BF3.

[Sundance Kid V2]

I want to know if they include HD textures from the start.. or will it be patched again 6 months after ?

Judging by the screenies.. it looks like Crysis 2...
