Re: Crysis

i decided to hold my PC upgrade until this game is out.

gotta get one of those DirectX10 cards as soon they are out :)

#660011Post 7 of 102

Re: Crysis

I haven't even heard of DX10 cards. It won't be out until Vista...this game will be out before then.

Re: Crysis

This game will look so amazing if you have proper Directx10 hardware for it. German quality software. :)

Re: Crysis

I have not seen hype like this around a game since Doom 3. :twisted:

Crysis, if it can live up to all of its promises, might be one of the best games ever....and also might usher in a new era of gaming.

Im gonna have to upgrade my rig as well. Havent played a FPS since COD: United Offensive and Battlefield 2.

#832108Post 21 of 102

Re: Crysis

i want one, it can even have 1000 numbers less than yours,

what was your previous GPU? charity?

heh cheers

#832144Post 22 of 102

Re: Crysis

I have a combo of 2x GForce 7900GTX in SLI mode running atm and I don't plan to upgrade for Crysis..sure I will see a few effects less and the game will look better if you run it on Vista (or better said DirectX 10) but I will skip this generation of graphic cards for sure. I think I will install Vista beginning next year or even later when all Vista drivers for the programs I use are out and bugs are fixed, programmers are used to Vista and really take advantage of it but not earlier.

I also doubt the 1st generation of DirectX10 cards will really take advantage of the new features. All mates I know who of course HAD to install it already are asking "do you know how this can be fixed" "have you heard of this bug" LMAO. Have fun guys playing around with a new OS but leave me alone with it till the first waves of bugs and incompatibilities are over.

Re: Crysis

this does look amazing, but im not really an FPS campaign player...

im waiting on team fortress 2 to drop. that game started it all in terms of multiplayer fun. everygame owes itself to TF, including halo.

the second one looks even better.

Re: Crysis

is this thing gonna be out for the 360?

#912978Post 28 of 102

Re: Crysis

that game is gonna be a total failure if it is not ported to a home console like PS3 or 360, I mean like what percentage of the market handles a high end computer that can take this game?, probably 1% if you ask me,

now imagine all the costs involved into making the game itself, so this cocky game designers that said the PS3 and the 360 couldnt even handle "crysis" are gonna end up crying because of low fucking sales.

A pc with the 'right' specs can definitly beat a ps3 or an xbox360. Regarding the console version crytek experts argued that consoles would not be able to handle crysis..! I don't really know if this is true or not but i know that crytek engine needs a hell of a power in order to run properly. A nice rig if you ask me should be powered with vista 64bit, Q6600, Nvidia 8800gtx, 4 gb ddr2 800mhz, and a good mobo 775 socket.

no offence bro but whats your point? I know that the game requires a lot of juice I know that for a fact.. so?

what percentage of the PC market you think has a 64bit OS, 8800gtx card or higher, 4g ram and quad core? 1% maybe?

in the end EA is gonna fire this cocky crytek numbnuts and actually they WILL port the game to a home console with a different programer team which eventually turn to a total failure of the game.

Not 'my' point but crytek's point is that consoles cannot handle that game so a console version will not be released. Now if you have any problems about that then you should contact them and state your disagreement. If they fail in the market then thats their problem.

Re: Crysis

what da hell......system requierments?

#913460Post 34 of 102

Re: Crysis

from [url]http://www.crysis-online.com/Information/System%20Requirements/[/url]

[QUOTE] Here is a list of confirmed information...
[LIST] []Crysis will run on both DX9 & DX10 as well as Windows XP and Windows Vista. []A graphics card that supports Shader Model 2 or higher is required. []CryEngine2 is estimated to scale back 2 years, and scale ahead 1.5 years. []A single 7800GTX will run the game quite well on fairly high settings according to Crysis Art Director, Michael Khaimzon. []Jack Mamais of Crytek said in an exclusive Crysis-Online interview that his X1900XT runs the game very well at reasonably high settings ( still unoptmized ). []Crysis will dynamically utilize all processing threads available. Meaning quad-core processors will be supported.[/LIST] The following specs are estimates made by myself based on the above mentioned information and other sources. These estimates are NOT official - but are based on official information.

	 	Minimum Requirements
	  	              [B]CPU: [/B]Athlon 64 3000+/Intel 2.8ghz
						[B]Graphics: [/B]Nvidia 6600 or ATI X1600 - Shader Model 2.0
			[B]RAM: [/B]1GB
						[B]HDD: [/B]6GB
						[B]Internet: [/B]256k+
						[B]Optical Drive: [/B]DVD
						[B]Software:[/B] DX9 with Windows XP 		/ Vista 		   

	 		 	Recommended Requirements
					[B]CPU: [/B]Dual-Core CPU (Athlon X2 / Pentium D / Core 2 Duo)
			[B]Graphics: [/B]Nvidia 7800 or ATI X1800 (SM 3.0)
						[B]RAM: [/B]1.5GB+
						[B]HDD: [/B]6GB
						[B]Internet: [/B]512k+ (128k+ upstream) 
						[B]Optical Drive: [/B]DVD
						[B]Software:[/B] DX9 with Windows XP 		  		/ Vista 		                            

Once again, these are estimates only and are no way official. I just want to make sure that is as clear as possible. Keep in mind that Crysis is still a few months away from release, so the hardware making up the minimum specs will be more ore less three years old by that time.

I will update this page as more accurate information becomes available. Until then, this is the best reference available. If you have information that may be more accurate than this, please contact me via the [URL="http://www.crysis-online.com/Contact/Enquiries"]enquiry contact form[/URL]. [/QUOTE]

Re: Crysis

The only thing I will be getting for this game will be another gig of ram a DX10 graphics card is not in the budget.

#913731Post 37 of 102

yeah its their problem i'm just predicting my humble theory, they can shove crysis up their fat asses for all i care. on a side note minimum requirements will make the game look like a friggin ps1 tittle.. yeah that shitty...

so save cash and get a ps3 or a 360 instead IMO. metal gear solid 4 and halo 3 are right there on the corner.

#913895Post 39 of 102

Re: Crysis

No matter if it will be released earlier or not, I won't touch it till I built a new PC next spring..that in case Vista has SP2 out already..wouldn't want to touch it otherwise and so far I only read about dramatic framerate drops as soon as DX10 is enabled and especially the newest edition of soundcards is affected...no thanks. I am not playing the beta tester while paying 2 and a half grand for a decent gamer pc. And no, consoles are no choice. Especially not the new generation because they became almost PC's as well and have way too many options for a gaming console. Thanks to the online connectivity I am sure in 2 years the majority of Games will be released too early as well because they can offer a patch also after they made the money just like it is with PC Games.

Re: Crysis

I'm just a recreational gamer, so i'm far from being a geek thats why i go for console.
