stop worrying about DX11 so much, maybe a little

Post » Fri Jun 03, 2011 11:20 am

sorry to bust a lot of angry bubbles in here, but I have been playing around with DX11 settings on a few of my other games that support it, and I must say that its not going to make the game look that much better. The truth is that this game already looks pretty damn good compared to other things I have seen. I admit that Crysis 1 had more detail in some of the textures, but this game despite some of the obviously bad textures I have seen, on average looks just fine. I think people really need to stop making a big deal out of this. Plus, I have a pretty powerful machine, and DX11 drops the frames dramatically without much to show for it. There are very few machines out there that could run Crysis 2 if it had DX11, and I mean very very few machines, be glad that it looks as good as it does, and runs as good as it does. I know that Crytek and a lot of other places have implied that this game will have DX11, and the fact that they are being so hush hush about it is really lame, and I feel like they lied to us about it too, but if and when it comes out I think you guys will be wondering why you made such a big deal about it, and feel sad that you need to drop another thousand dollars into your machines to get descent FPS. In a way Crytek is doing us a favor by not exposing the weakness of even the most up to date systems, that just wont be able to play it. I think you guys need to do what I did, and do a real side by side comparison of Crysis 2 and Crysis 1 and other games out there to gain some perspective.

if you do the research you can figure out how to put the textures from Crysis 1 into Crysis 2. I saw it somewhere, it seems pretty easy.
