November 30, 2006 - It's not hard to get excited about Crysis. Its visuals are among the most eye pleasing we've seen, and support for Direct X10 means they can only get better. At least, so we think. But how will DX10 support in Crysis allow for enhanced visuals, and what kinds of specific enhancements? We had to opportunity to get some answers from Crytek's CEO and President Cevat Yerli for the latest. To check out how Crysis looks, be sure to check out this DX10 HD video.
IGN: How close is Crysis to being completed at this point? What's being worked on right now?
Cevat Yerli: We are currently moving towards an alpha build which basically means feature complete.
IGN: What kind of visual advantages will DX10 allow for? Can you go over some specific points?
Cevat Yerli: Improved image fidelity, more intense atmosphere, faster framerates
IGN: Are there any disadvantages or aspects more difficult to deal with than DX9? In addition to prettier visuals, does DX10 improve performance (framerate) as well, or have you found your game takes a hit?
Cevat Yerli: We will deliver quite a few options for the user to decide what they will be able to achieve with DX10, but enabling all areas to be improved is somewhat not possible currently. But we are adding future scalability for the sake of longevity - in any case, you will get a top notch DX10 experience.
IGN: Does DX10 actually allow for any kinds of gameplay differences (more destructible objects on screen, something like that)?
Cevat Yerli: We are going to feature DX10 specific gameplay where possible, but nothing that is significantly different from DX9. DX10 basically allows developers to use lots more content (like cool particles, particle shadows, etc) while keeping a smooth frame rate.
IGN: Assuming you were to create a sequel to Crysis, where do you see visuals headed once you get an entire development cycle to work with DX10? What kinds of visual effects did you have to omit from Crysis simply because they cropped up too late in development to include?
Cevat Yerli: As with Crysis, we are working on making the Crysis franchise the most realistic and compelling experience ever created. For upcoming titles, we will continue to push the bar for realism while still making the game pure fun and exciting. Luckily for Crysis, we have basically been given everything we asked for in the design stage (who would have guessed we could break trees?) and more, so we can't really give you a definitive answer to this.
IGN: If I wanted to run Crysis at, say, a solid 30 frames per second, what kind of system are people going to need?
Cevat Yerli: We learned a valuable lesson in Far Cry and that is to give people what they want but to also give them the ability to choose how to run it. For Far Cry, we gave the user a host of options that allowed them to cater to the experience they wanted. Some people like to see no popping, but they could care less for shadows, while others may not care about cool clouds but want more detailed textures. To support this we are going to offer even more ways for players to fine tune their experience. Personally, I would say to run Crysis with high settings; you need a machine that has a card that was made in the last six months. Our goal though is to make it really playable and look good on machines two-years-old from our ship date.
IGN: What kinds of visual inspirations were drawn on to create Crysis' visuals? Games, movies, artwork? Can you specify?
Cevat Yerli: Our main inspirations were drawn from the beautiful island of Morea (near Tahiti). We sent a team to document the island and it has been very helpful in determining the look of our island. For content, movies like Aliens, Black Hawk Down and Tears of the Sun provided great inspiration.
IGN: Is Crysis still on track for a Q3 2007 release? How likely is that date to change?
Cevat Yerli: We are working hard to bring it out at the highest quality level as soon as possible. It will be here before you know it but we are not at liberty to discuss an exact date currently.
IGN: Thanks for your time.
