New Crysis video: time to start saving up for a better PC

There is a lot of confusion about Crysis on the 360. some people are asaying it is coming to 360 and others are saying it isn't. Its confusing.

All i know is that I want DX10 and everytime a new Crysis vid comes out my pants get wet.

a whole bunch of tomfoolery

looking very good

my computer lags just looking at the vids for that game (ye i;m joking) but holy shit its awesome image the online *Starts drooling* so a good DX10 pc will cost 2000 without an OS damn you Microsoft and the 500 dollars ultimate vista damn you to hell

I've given up on having a Crysis capable PC already. Mine could barely run Oblivion for gods sakes!

Who do they think I am, Professor Moneybags!?

actually, my computer has lagged playing a video. Stupid me thought it would be awesome to download one of the gimoungous resolution videos a while back and my 2.5 year old eMachines cheap piece of shit didn't like it one bit.

I am honestly surprised that no one has said anything about this being an FPS.

It is weird that this is the FPS I am looking forward to the most. I have become uninterested in most. Bioshock looks awesome too. But this is from EA. EA isn't supposed to make new IP that is cool, they are just supposed to rehash the same game over and over again. This game and Spore is why i still have great faith in EA. They can rehash all their games and make ridiculous profit on it so they can put it into other experimental projects in hopes of them becoming successful. SquareEnix doesn't do that, they just put the Final Fantasy name on every piece of shit game they make now.

end rant.

My gpu would probably commit suicide just loading the main menu.

dude, don't buy an Alienware. They charge way too much for a computer that isn't that much better than other alternative. Obviously building your own PC is the cheapest option but i would look into other companies first. iBuyPower usually isn't too bad but im not really sure anymore. Just don't get Alienware.

Oh crap, I knew it. The basic gameplay is like Far Cry. God, I hated that game.

And yes, it plays similarly to FarCry as it is made by the same developers and its using the new CryTek 2 engine.

My only question is whether or not those barrels are explosive ... they better be.

Great graphics, but thats the hook. Gameplay is was keeps players there. It looks great. And from this video, it looks as if this is a clanboy's dream game with super speed and extreme bunny-hopping 3.0.

I bit disappointed since I liked FarCry's more realistic gameplay.

However, the way you can modify your gun on the fly like that is awsome. I'd love to see other games incorperate that.

i didnt even read this article or the comments, i just want to say i hate u ron workman!

@iRaf

Well although information about a possible 360 version haven't really solidified as of yet but will undoubtedly happen, it's more than likely it is an exclusive, moreover a timed exclusive.

@everyone else

I feel your pain when it comes to the system specs for the game. I'm all for a little steep system specs for a game, but the ones I've heard of for Crysis are too demanding and I think this is just a little unfair to people.

I myself have a Intel Pentium 4 3.0 Ghz processor, nVidia Geforce 7600 GS overclocked, 1 gig of memory, etc. I barely nail everything except for the minimum requirements I heard somewhere of a 6800 Ultra. The 7600 has a lot of the functionality of the GeForce 7 family (although I'm no expert by any means on the subject) but has a performance level that is not that of the same family and perhaps is slower than a 6800. I was wondering if anyone knows about where the 7600s performance level really lies. Anyone?

That vid reminds of the opening battle in Predator.

Yeah i'm with skuloos

It looks good but it needs better gameplay

if any game makes me upgrade my computer it'll be portal

If it wasn't made by EA, I might give a crap.

the 512 will help for resolutions mostly but they way i get out alot of extra frames in my games is turn down my shadows, gotta get a cheap core2duo those are the way to go but if you more spendthrift go for like a athlon 3700+ cus those can be pretty good price per performance but core2duo are still the best, do you run agp or pci-express for 7600gs, and what are your standard clocks and your current overclock?

........

Sorry I had to wipe the drool off my chin.

"They're publishing the game, but its made by the Crytek team."

Heh... I can just see it now...

Crytek: So you wanted to talk to me about something?
EA: Yea. Well there is a lot of internet buzz about this game and a lot of people are excited. So you think you can finish it in 3 months?
Crytek: Ha! You're funny... oh wait... you're serious. I mean we have to polish up a lot of the game at this point. I think we need at least another 6 months to a year.
EA: Psshhh. With all this hype, the game will practically sell itself, no need to "finish" it. Trust me, I know a thing or two about releasing "finished" games... I mean look at BF2142.
Crytek::I don't know. We really want to please our fans.
EA: Well they want the game really badly. So giving it to them as soon as possible can't be bad right? Now go "finish" the game. Oh and once your done, get to work on a couple of expansion packs and the sequel. We will need them in 3 months.

Three months later, millions of gamers will weep for loss of what could have been a good game.

@zaqu

I'm not particularly sure that my motherboard supports more than 3.0 Ghz and I'm not sure what my clocks and overclocks are right now. I'm not into things too technical right at the moment so that is a bit above me.

As for the video card I'm running on AGP.

You're right, EA hasn't been nearly as bad with their newer ip(s) as they were in the past. However, some of the games they publish have gone to shit, and I don't think I need to name any names.
