Crysis 3 - Games - Facepunch Forum

Pianos?

Ah, this is the song. The menu music for both games. [video=youtube;77rXZCbIEA8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77rXZCbIEA8[/video]

[QUOTE=kloaz;39685486]In my opinion I think the first game has the best music.[/QUOTE] You ain't kidding man, well I haven't finished C2 or even bought 3 yet but still. I've been playing C1 and 2 back to back these days, and I'm taken aback all over again at C1's music. Inon Zur is a goddamned genius with horns man, I'm sad they didn't bring him on board for Warhead or 2. But aside from sounding good, it sounds unique. I wouldn't mistake this music for any other game. [video=youtube;tyvziMZXgeM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyvziMZXgeM[/video] I haven't even noticed the music all that much in Crysis 2 except when the game raises the volume on it.

The music that plays during the final battle before the final cut scene reminds me of the main theme of New Vegas and Fallout 3.

This one? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAvcxwS3nqM[/media] Also Inon Zur did the music for Fallout 3 and New Vegas so that's probably why.

No, not that piece. But you're probably right, composers use similar themes in their music. Some pieces of the Jaws, Indiana Jones and Star Wars soundtracks I used to get mixed up, all 3 were composed by John Williams.

[QUOTE=MadBomber;39685504]Hhhnnnnh, TXAA is gorgeous.[/QUOTE] There is TXAA in this game? I guess since I'm not on a 6xx card I don't see it.

When I turn on TXAA my 670 cries.

im guessing txaa is for nvidia only?

This has always been my favorite Crysis track, and one of my favorite tracks from any videogame in general [video=youtube;0cZoFAzOsi4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cZoFAzOsi4[/video] Especially the part right around 0:54

Aaaaaaa 73%

finally 100%. now to fuck around with the config files.

from an HD 5870, i7 930 and 6 gigs of ram to an HD 7970 Ghz, i7 3930k + 16 GB of RAM, would that be able to run Crysis 3 alright on ultra settings?

a 5870 would struggle very much, my 5970 chugs at 15-25 outdoors. a 7970 would probably fair better but not spectacularly i imagine, 34-45fps i'd say. these are of course estimations you may want to look at benchmarks

if all your using it for is gaming that cpu is a waste of money, 3570k is a good option, i will probably get rated boxes for this but if you want to overclock get 2500k, they have much better overclocking potential and performance differance between sandy and ivy is about 4% clock per clock average in most games its non-existant edit i kinda skipped the first part of your post, any update from a i7 930 would be a waste of money

The GTX 680 is first but i'm not much of an Nvidia guy tbh, although i'm still researching so you never know.

Yeah, still looks like the 7970 for what i'm gonna get. All i'm really worried about though is CPU bottleneck.

Now the question is did they use the latest AMD catalyst? Because with my HD7950 i get much more fps.

it says which drivers they used on the conclusion page

I can't be the only one but I almost fell a sleep when playing Crysis 3. It's still easy on hardest difficulty like in Crysis 2. No point sneaking around when you can kill all the enemies easily with Maximum Armor. Oh and I also hate when enemies just spawn out of nowhere constantly. I miss the Aliens from Crysis 1. They were much more fun instead of another humanoid enemies with more health. Well, maybe there are but I don't know since I stopped playing after 5th mission I think. I also wished they added option to make the hud smaller and first-person models, like in Counter-Strike Global Offensive. Yea yea, I know there's FOV command for the First-person models but it's not the same. All these small annoyances ruined the experience for me.

to be fair the aliens in C1 weren't exactly fun to fight, at least not compared to the koreans, but yeah at least they weren't boringly generic like the retcon/sequel aliens

[QUOTE=Gunsmith;39681283]agreed but in terms of gameplay C1>C3>Ass Cancer>C2[/QUOTE] 3>2>1 imo because gunplay in 1 was worse than ass cancer because you couldn't hit shit and suit modes other than cloak and speed were useless.

[QUOTE=redBadger;39689018]3>2>1 imo because gunplay in 1 was worse than ass cancer because you couldn't hit shit and suit modes other than cloak and speed were useless.[/QUOTE] You've got to switch between them really fast in action. Watch his Cry Request: Cry Harder video(s) [editline]23rd February 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Gunsmith;39679008]Charles Denan of EA lost his shit at me kicking an explosive photo copier at someone :D[/QUOTE] Which video? Do you have some kind of "Blooper Reels"?

[QUOTE=redBadger;39689018]3>2>1 imo because gunplay in 1 was worse than ass cancer because you couldn't hit shit and suit modes other than cloak and speed were useless.[/QUOTE] If only you could have the simpler suit from 2 with the more open levels from 1.

[QUOTE=MachiniOs;39689241]If only you could have the simpler suit from 2 with the more open levels from 1.[/QUOTE] That would be a bit hard to travel because the levels in C1 were pretty big and the sprint in C2/3 isn't really that fast, if I recall correctly.

[QUOTE=rikimaru6811;39689194] Which video? Do you have some kind of "Blooper Reels"?[/QUOTE] the launch trailer [QUOTE=redBadger;39689018]3>2>1 imo because gunplay in 1 was worse than ass cancer because you couldn't hit shit and suit modes other than cloak and speed were useless.[/QUOTE] its not a bad game; you're just a bad gamer. try learn the game mechanics instead of whining that victory is not handed to you on a fucking plate.

Anyone else notice that those floating orb Ceph units in Crysis 3 are using the exact same sounds as the troopers from Crysis 1? (ie. dying sounds etc)
