That was already taken away from THQ's comments when they said that they had Darksiders 2 up and running in an alpha mode even before E3.mikozero said:
Crytek Bringing CryEngine to Wii U

Ignoring that bit... no, ArmA isn't your typical run-and-gun shooter - it's a tactical war simulator. You set way points for your troops, manage your squad, call in air-strikes, etc over an enormous battlefield, not to mention a powerful editor. Every vehicle is controllable by the player himself. Basically, it gives you enormous control over a large scale battlefield. It's fitting that Bohemia is remaking Carrier Command (which spans over an archipelago of 32 islands). All these - large maps, complex AI routine - require quite a bit of oomph. Bohemia, for example, is making Carrier Command a multiplatform title - but they're not releasing it on the Xbox360 or PS3, but on the next gen consoles that'll hopefully have the hardware to run it.
Some people may find them pointless, but then again, the original Carrier Command and Hostile Water are considered major developments of gaming history. They fill a niche. It's nice for the gamers who want more depth in their manshoots.

Even with all that, how did that guys computer not turn burn it's way to the Earth's core?
yet another third party pledging their support for Nintendo. And of course probably another round of faux-hardcore gamers still predicting doomsday.
I doubt the Wii U is using DirectX 9. It will probably use some custom or OpenGL based API just like the PlayStation 3 (PS3 can run Crysis 2, and it doesn't have DX9).fix-the-spade said:
DirectX is exclusive to Microsoft's operating system and consoles.
"But can the Wii U run Crysis, hmm? PC elitists, assemble!"
You rang!
As long as it doesn't affect PC versions of their games I'm not worried.

Technically the 360 uses a custom version of DirectX. The C1 graphics chip was designed by ATI and incorporates a unified shader architecture (at the time this was not present in current gen PC GPUs).mikozero said:
The reality is that the 360 supports DX9's feature set along with some DX10 capabilities.
Interesting thing I learnt during 2nd year Computer System Architecture at uni: Overclocking is stupid, don't do it (in layman's terms).Raiyan 1.0 said:
(EDIT: In this post, I'm talking about merely overclocking the CPU while not changing/upgrading the other components in a computer to make good use of the faster CPU speed.
Overclocking can work, but only if you also upgrade a lot of the other hardware to match the new speed. If you don't do this, then the rest of this post is what happens. And if you do upgrade the required other parts of your machine to match this new speed... Then you obviously have money, why not just also buy a CPU that runs naturally at the faster speed?
It's quite bad how many people think that overclocking the CPU to 2 (or more) times the CPU's natural speed, while doing nothing else to their computer, is in any way a good idea. >_> )
If your CPU runs normally at, say, 1GHz, s'all well and good. Overclock it to 4GHz, and you've got 4 times the speed, right?
Wrong.
In general, you'll maybe get about a 1.1 or 1.15 times faster overall computer speed from overclocking. No matter if you overclock it from 1GHz to 2GHz, 3GHz, 4GHz, etc, you won't actually be making your computer "faster" (due to many things I won't go into right now
), all you'll be doing is making your CPU overheat, and if you overclock regularly, it will die a lot faster than if you didn't overclock.My point being, I'm willing to bet that a lot of the problems that person encountered was due to him effectively cooking his CPU to a crisp. All for a realistically not-noticeable difference in game performance.
I don't understand why you have to be such a butthurt fanboi about this. Just because some gamers are more into performance than you are doesn't invalidate their status as gamers.GreatTeacherCAW said:
It's almost like you have an inferiority complex, and need to cry out to validate your existence.
Why is this a surprise. The latest report is that the Wii U has an AMD / ATI Radeon 4000 GPU, which is DX 10 and was perfectly fine running Crysis.
As to Crytek wanting to put versions of Cryengine on as many devices as possible, well duh. I expect mobile devices will be next. Nvidia's Kal-El quad core SOC would probably be a good target....

DirectX 10, 11 allegedly as no-one has seen it doing that yet, until a certain patch is released.mikozero said:
Since I have used gucci outfits I bought for 1/3 the price I am insecure or have an inferiority complex as well? I don't see any "bragging" in this thread, some people just make more money than you do, and some of those people are even gamers! How dare us talk about the things we like! What else are we supposed to do with our money? NOT buy the best gaming machines, cars, clothes and food we can?GreatTeacherCAW said:
I personally can't wait to hear about the recall notices that will go out following numerous reports of self-destructing Nintendo-Shits. (I refuse to call it the Wii-U, as I still hold some level of self respect, so deal with it.)
It's a running gag, man. And besides, it was so damn far ahead of it's time that it took two generations for computers to even BEGIN running it at all-maximum at 60 FPS.Kenjitsuka said:
Anyways, this engine looks amazing. I wonder if they'll use it for more than four games this time around?
