Crytek could go Bankrupt

Crysis 3 for me felt far more like an advertisement for the game engine from Crytek than an actual game tbh.

Although it did run very smoothly and look absolutely gorgeous on my rig (had a 7950 at the time).

I didnt think so. I loved that game and have logged several hours in it. The combat was very smooth, I love how they worked the armor/cloak mode, the music was top notch (dont by Hans Zimmer so what do you expect) and while the story was kinda meh, it was good enough to keep my interested and wanting to keep going just to find out a little more. I thought it was the most well done of the 3 games.

Oh and best of all, it usually forces me to upgrade my GPU and who doesn't love a good excuse to buy something new?

I played Crysis 3 last night to test temps on the 780 Ti for another forum member and I didn't notice any input lag, Same goes for the rest of the Crysis games, Tried them late last night and honestly didn't notice anything, Maybe this is due to newer hardware ? I don't know.

I've noticed this lots on other forums not just here and it's usually when people have too much time on their hands or are just generally nit picking they actively look for problems with a fine tooth comb, Be it games or anything in life for that matter and to be honest it's kind of sad.

That's probably because you aren't used to good input. I am, i have new hardware, there isn't a single game running cryengine with decent input. I don't have to search for it, it's not a hunch, the input lag is the first thing i notice and there is no ignoring it. It's not nitpicking, when a game like crysis has input lag that destroys the game. Excuse me for having standards.
If you are okay with the cryengine then that is your opinion, but don't call it sad when other people don't share your view because they value functionality over graphics.
Nobody who plays competitive fps games likes the cryengine.

I don't know, I'm with Dicehunter on this one. I've been playing these games since Crysis 1 dropped and I haven't noticed any input lag either. I'm not running cutting edge gear but I'd say it's fairly high end.

Have you noticed this with Motion Blur turned off? Maybe this is what people are calling "lag". With out blur the movement does seem more crisp and sometimes I play with it off but usually I prefer it on High cause it makes it more realistic in my opinion.

Played all the crysis games as well (well, i spent like 15m in each) and all of them have input lag, i don't ever turn motion blur on. The input lag only disappears at 100+ FPS, so at very low settings the games are sort of playable, well, if they weren't terrible. Graphics are what made Crysis a success.

Not use to good input and new hardware ? Pretentious much ?

Look at the hardware in my sig, Is that just fog then ? -_-
 
Even I can see the input lag in Crysis. Its one of those things that most people (and including myself) don't notice unless you know what you are looking for. Its worse on a high refresh rate monitor.

-edit-
Nexuiz, an arena shooter which uses cryengine gets around it by basically making the maps unintensive (yet still purdy) as possible, bringing the fps up. They also did some other things as well to reduce input lag. I miss that game :(

Honestly never been that bad on mine, Something funky going on with your system maybe ?
Or maybe I've just never looked for it ^_^

Nothing wrong with my system nor is it my video. Some people notice it, others don't. I used to be like you until someone showed me it. Their rig wasn't low end either. To be honest I don't notice it as much if I'm above 60fps, which I can do easily. Cryengine makes use of hardware properly after all.

Great now I'll be looking for it :p

That game died on release date pretty much, partly because arena fps is probably the worst genre you could run on cryengine.

It doesn't matter which hardware you are running, unless you get 100+ fps the input lag is very noticeable. Your hardware doesn't change anything about your perception of inputlag.

What is with you and having an aggressive attitude all the time ? Me and others have noticed this, Bad atmosphere at home or something or just an aggressive person in general ?

Try and be a little more positive once in a while :)

You basically said my concerns are pointless, justifying it by saying that your hardware is superior to mine, hence your perception must be better. What did you expect.
There's no point in covering up my points in sarcastic replies and nice words, i just want to get my opinion across, you know that i don't mean to offend you. I never make these discussions personal.

I never said your concerns are pointless, Put the massive bag of weed down dude, Your getting a little paranoid :p

Anyway guess my eyes aren't that good then as I honestly have never noticed it, Maybe I need an eye exam ^_^

I never said you did I ?, "I said I have seen this on other forums a lot not just here", If I meant you I would say you, Seekax, But I did not ;)

Yea but it was pretty obviously including me since i was the only one raising complaints in the thread before. That is what makes my posts seem aggressive, i respond directly.

I'm not talking about this thread directly, I said I have noticed it on these forums because you reminded me of it, That is all, As I said before if I meant you I would say you.
Let it go Seekax, Just chill :)
