I can't wait for more Alien Hominid action. I wish more companies had the balls to put out side scrollers.
they will make a wireless eventually for the 360. M$ would be retarded not to give that to the consumer. and its one more way to make money, once everybody has the cable controller, then they all have to go back and buy at least one wireless guitar when it comes out.
"Crysis (PC): Overhyped isn't even a strong enough word for this one. If you're one of five people in the world that will be able to play this, you'll be playing nothing but a dolled up Far Cry clone. It looked pretty, that's about it."
Hey, what's so bad about being a Far Cry clone, seriously?
Far Cry is about the only FPS game with non-linear gameplay I've ever seen-and thanks to that, it firmly stands as my second-favorite shooter ever. So far, judging from all the material I've seen on Crysis, it is far more innovative than any other FPS released in the past two years.
Oh, and also, I want Hellgate-I just can't keep playing D2 anymore. :P

wow, Hellgate dissed, Crysis...dissed. You're breaking my heart man.
Everyone I know that played Shadowrun for a bit has come back with nothing but positive things to say about it. I'm stunned.

Not to brag, but I think my two 8800GTXes in SLI will be enough to handle it. I am a pretty dedicated PC gamer here. :P
Dot, that is where you are wrong. A $2000 PC won't be enough to run Crysis in its current state, at least not from everything i have heard around it. But to me Crysis isn't about have an engine that can actually run on current PCs. Its about showing how far our technology is going. Its an incredibly inneficient engine but that is ok, its the first time any of the stuff in Crysis has been coded before (at least a lot of it). I can't blame them for not knowing exactly how to code volumetric clouds, diffused light particles, and completely movable trees and leaves along with everything else in that game. Its the first time those programmers are doing it.
Its a learning experience, now that everybody has seen that it is possible, other companies will start adding those features and focus on doing them efficiently. If you look back to when DX9 first came out the games were nothing compared to what DX10 can do. And Crysis is really just the first engine that is showing a glimpse of what DX10 can do. It is going to be a bright future in gaming, just give them time.

crysis will run much more smooth than people think, a mid-end pc will be able to play it real nice. And the suit is really cool.
also:
DX9 will look *almost* as good as the dx10 version, DX10 version will look somewhat better, and will run better, more faster.

I wasn't to psyched about crackdown but today i listend to Major Nelsons podcast about ces (he mentions hanging out with the destructoid crew) and they interviewed a guy about crackdown and it got me excited. I handn't realised it could be a co-op experience and if you had trouble with a mission you can bring in a friend that is a higher level then you to help out. And if you want you can split up and take down criminals at opposite sides of the city. the demo is coming out soon so ill have to check it out.
namelessted, of course i collect every kind of preview, screenshots, videos, and interviews of that game :)
but i need to agree that so far, crysis look like a generic fps. But gears of war look like that to me before release.
Someone was saying that the bosses in Crackdown were like Megaman (lol, I know). Does that sound familiar to anyone?
yaesir, Crysis will not run on a midend PC. I have been following the game like mad as well, trust me. But I have no reason to believe that i will be playing the game and have it looks as awesome as the tech demos they show within the next couple of years.
And DX9 will not looks as good as DX10. And it will be very noticeable. DX9 just isn't capable of doing a lot of what DX10 can do.
yes, but you do remember that yerli said that the game wont look so different because they are maxing out dx9?
when i say about mid-end pc, it's mid end when the game is released (aka nvidia 8600GT or ati mid-end dx10 card)

Crytek already mentioned that if you can run FarCry you'll be able to run Crysis. As far as game quality goes I wouldn't discount them. FarCry came out of nowhre and to end up as GoTY on some sites. This by a company that just wrote tech demos for a living.
Well, they are going to have to completely revamp the engine before release then. Granted its in alpha or beta right now but talking to the guys at CES, they said the game was running on extremely expensive servers. We are talking quad core CPUs and at least 4GB of RAM with a really high end vid card and the game ran poorly at a visual quality at significantly less than any screenshot or the official trailers that they have released.
Alien Hominid is fucking awesome. Basically Metal Slug with an illustrated comic-book look. Caslte Crashers does look better though.
Crysis may be overhyped, but it still looks awesome. It is the future of gaming, uber graphics, complete destructability, etc. I think that my computer right now, which is between mid and high end; should be able to meet the minimum requirements posted on the Crysis site. All I have to do next year is upgrade to Vista, but the only reason I'm doin that, is for DX10.
Never mind, I just found the requirements on InCrysis.com.
Minimum Requirements
* CPU: Athlon 64 3000+/Intel 2.8GHz
* Graphics: Nvidia 6600/X800GTO (SM 2.0)
* RAM: 768MB/1GB on Windows Vista
* HDD: 6GB
* Internet: 256k+
* Optical Drive: DVD
* Software: DirectX9.0c with Windows XP
Recommended Requirements:
* CPU: Dual-core CPU (Athlon X2/Pentium D)
* Graphics: Nvidia 7800GTX/ATI X1800XT (SM 3.0) or DirectX10 equivalent
* RAM: 1.5GB
* HDD: 6GB
* Internet: 512k+ (128k+ upstream)
* Optical Drive: DVD
* Software: DirectX10 with Windows Vista
So, I meet all the reccommended requirements except for Vista with DX10, looking forward to Crysis.

>> To the morons saying that dual gtx8800 won't run crysis, go back to your caves.
I've always said a gtx8800 won't run crysis and I'm standing by it!
What's a gtx8800?
What's crysis?

We'll have to wait for the tom's hardware specs
I do remember when FEAR came out how even the best of the best couldnt handle the soft shadows without having serious fps issues

"Dot, that is where you are wrong. A $2000 PC won't be enough to run Crysis in its current state, at least not from everything i have heard around it."
Err...it will, most definitely.
There was an article recently that proclaimed that a single 8800 GTX card is enough to run Crysis at 2048×1536 with a stable framerate. While this may be an exaggeration, I tend to believe it.

Dot, that may be its target, yes. And i really hope a PC with a single 8800 GTX will be able to run Crysis at a stable framerate with that high of a resolution. I really hope so. But I am saying that its current build, there is a lot of work to be done to reach that point.
"But I am saying that its current build, there is a lot of work to be done to reach that point."
Oh, this I agree with-just don't forget that Crysis is considered to be in Alpha right now-so there is plenty of time for Crytek to spend on optimization. :)

So... what? Microsoft can't make Alien Hommonid backwards compatible, but they can do a live arcade version that you have to buy? If so, I think that's pretty f*&ked up... or is it a different game?
