Crysis Engine - Quite Possibly Photo Realistic

Recently the Crysis Engine also known as Cry Engine 2 developed by the makers of the popular PC game Farcry, has been getting a ton of attention with recent demos of the mind blowing graphics it can produce. We recently ran across some images of the graphics the Crysis Engine can produce compared to what they look like in real life and the results are shocking.

The Crysis Engine appears to produce the best PC graphics to date and when it is released at the end of this year should be a milestone in real time graphics. After seeing this we are all heading out to upgrade our PC’s. We will keep you posted when new videos and screenshots become available.
They are very detailed. But that is just the continual increase in compute power allowing higher resolution models.
If they had a movie of just a cornell-box with changing indirect illumination and varying materials I would be interested…
It will be good to see the graphics, but with games these days, games with graphics like this tend to have short storys and bad gameplay.
IMO one of the reasons this looks more photorealistic is that it looks more like a photo. Huh? Most games have a very large contrast range where you can see plenty of detail in shadows, even when it’s ostensibly noon. The human eye can do this. a camera can’t leave you with a deep blue sky and detail in shadows in one brightly sunlit picture. With this engine you see the inky black shadows that you’d see in a photograph. Different choice. Looks more like a photo than like how the world looks to the human eye.
Doom, thats not always true, Half Life 2 had amazing graphics but it also had an great story and awesome gameplay.
[…] The picture of the hut thing is extra cool. Crysis Engine […]
A Screenshot is not significant.
If its runnning with 1 FPS whats cool about it then?
Good color maps, specular maps, and the likes are playing an impotant role here… Probably more so then actual high resolution geomettry models… And don’t forget normal maps and support for 32bit instead of 16bit… Another way to keep geometry low on the rigid body and soft body models and keep them looking damn good…
The renders look great. There are some areas of both renders where I question if Photoshop was used or not, but even so, there is no doubt that the engine is powerful. Can the engine run at 60fps with stability? Does the average gamer need the new Nvidia 2Damn Expensive to even run this engine? Is this developed for Vista? Time will tell, and an even better engine from another developer will come after all of the reviews.
The technology is going with crazy speeds.Outstanding!
The point is that the best grafic cards cannot support these grafics, or even the grafics of the new games(like Oblivion). Even the geforce7900GTX will run such game with 10-30 frames
And by the way, everything looks so real except the grass.
Still they cant make the grass so realistic…maybe in a few years…
We need BETTER AND CHEAPER GRAFIC CARDS!!!!!
It is running in real time. There are movies online, and there were demonstrations at E3.
[…] Found a blog about it here. […]

[…] Recent computer games are amazingly photorealistic, as demonstrated by these screenshots from the new Crysis engine. The HDR technology developed by Valve also looks promising. Of course, the hardest part will always be representing characters and avoiding the uncanny valley. tags: animation, graphic design, interesting, technology 2006-8-16-8:12 PM # […]

In reply to “Yo”’s post telling someone who didn’t spell a word right to take english classes.
Go out, get a life, get a larger manhood and get a girlfriend. Stfu!

Yeah, the black spot isn’t quite nice. They should use ozone’s soft shadow. I wonder what the FPS would be though…
Wow Cool !
