HERE it is (Lots of pics at pages 3 and 4)

Last I checked the newest "crytek engine" only has 1 game that is being used... ahem.. Crysis. Do I really need to list the games that have licensed UE3.

Enough said, peachy.

WTF has that got to do with the compartive graphical benifits of the engines?

Popular != best you know. Of course not many devs will use Cryengine2 cos they are scared of not shifting enough copies because it needs a good system. Crytek should be applauded for pushing things and not catering to the lowest common denominator.

You want cookie cutter games then you use the 'engine of the moment'

you know crysis graphics are overhyped though? not as good as people make them out to be has some pretty crappy textures even on max.

Before you continue that conversation look at the topic.
It doesn't say: Crysis vs UT 3

Could anyone make a Screenshot with like 4x AA and 16xAF, and maybe Capture it as BMP and convert to a higher quality JPG?

Maybe we can get a result looking sharp as the videos

They didn't actually promise anything, you realize?

ah really? I just remind you of posts like:
"These are only the half-size textures... Full Version will be MUCH better"

[rebel7254]

Putting texture detail on 5 in the demo automatically enables 16xAF, in case you didn't know. That is, unless you don't have AF set to "Application Controlled" in your drivers.

AA definitely makes a difference. My system can't deliver the framerate I want if I enable AA at all @ 1680x1050 in the demo. So I've been playing at 1440x900 w/ 4xAA and get about the same framerate. It looks much better than 1680x1050 with no AA.

AA improves image quality a lot, but I still don't think it would bring it up to support the claim that the textures in the demo were toned down by 50%. I just don't see evidence of that at all so far.

Are these screen shots with max video settings?

I realize it may not be playable on max but did you take the screen shots at max?

Yes, i made these screens with max video settings, on WinXP with an ATI 2900 XT.

Wow, that is kinda disappointing.

I guess the only other thing I would ask is when you are actually in game does it looks like these screen shots or not quite as good?

Perhaps it would look more like these without the heavy bloom, but I would like to be able to get UT3 to look like these during play and then I would be pretty happy. Also, look at the map, esp in the last picture it does not look washed out and drab and the textures on the characters and the weapon look great.

Can someone go to that part of the map and take a screen shot for comparison?

[VACkillers]

well those official screenshots that had us WOW so much were supposedly done in the UEd3 engine so i am "more" then sure that at some stage, we will be able to get fairly close to what those screenies looked like in game, mark rein himself said that theres pretty much not a home PC at launch that can run the game on max settings. Which would leave me to believe that they may VAMP up the graphics in patches later on well after the release. I very much doubt as someone had mentioned before that Epic made some kind of deal with Alienware for only AW machines to achive such high graphics, but would make sense in a different way that only an alienware machine could produce the sheer power to produce it.

The pics, looks brilliant thanks to the OP and others who have posted some great screenies... Deck looks brilliant in my opinion... and there will be a LOT of tweaks from the community with maps, ini files, the lot, games only been out for a day. Im well impressed with the various pics and videos, shame i dont have the machine to run it even close to max settings, next year tho

Edit : also 1 more thing, game might look hugly better once DirectX10.1 gets released next year... anyone taking screenshots using Windows Vista with DX10? or are these on XP right now guys? might be making a difference in image quality.

Oh you don't have to, at least your not such a guy talking about how great UT3 runs on his machine. I can't wait to have a 1on1 on Deck.
UT2004 turned me off immediately when I saw it, but this is pretty much like the UT1 version - Love it.

[Balroch]

wonder why in some of these pics the demo looks much better on my system, were these taken with everything on Max?

Use PNG-24. It's a lossless format, unlike JPG.

Now Call of Duty 4 has an incredible engine...amazing graphics, gameplay, and easy on the system! How did they optimize that one so well?

Hate to be a forum police but, watch [03] in the Rulez. Thread might get closed.

Mr. Anaderson please post another video of gameplay , the quality is so excellent ! Anyone else , that has strong enough CPU please please please post videos of gameplay with high fps because it's so much more awesome than some screenshots!

[Unreal_dan]

Did any one see the last 3 necris vehicles? Please post screenshots.
There were 9 axon and 9 necris but I only saw 6 (Viper, Scavenger, Fury, Nightshade, Darkwalker and Nemesis).
