Old threads are dead.

Anyone been following this at all? IGN has a new article up saying there is still lots of tweaking left and had to run the game at 1024x768 just to get it to run smoothly during a playtest. Here's to hoping they get that shit worked out before release because this game looks absolutely amazing.

I'm pretty excited.

I last upgraded my PC 1.5 years ago in preparation for Oblivion. I'm now going to upgrade it again for this.

7/11/2007 8:17:37 PM

^ I feel ya on that one. My comp is basically 4-5 years old and needed a new vid card just to get Oblivion to run. As soon as the fin aid comes in I'm building a monster rig for this.

Crysis Single Player Demo Coming September 25

Quote :

"A single-player demo for the much-anticipated DX10 game is coming to PC on September 25. Monday, August 27, 2007 5:00 PM PDT EA announced on Monday that a single player demo for the highly anticipated Crysis is coming to PC on September 25. The demo features the entire first level of the game's campaign mode and is said to include a "huge surprise" by developer Crytek. Crysis is one of the most anticipated PC games of the year due to its unmatched visuals and having won several industry awards including Best PC Game at last week's Games Convention and Best PC Game of E3 2007 according to the Game Critics Awards. Crysis will be "lighting up rigs" worldwide on November 16, 2007."

Is this only XP compatible since it's dx10?

8/28/2007 3:40:45 PM

There are a few badass trailers on gametrailers.com, the gameplay looks nuts, it makes Farcry 2 look like utter shit.

*Vista

I was half asleep at work.



Yes, in the afternoon

8/28/2007 5:31:16 PM

just wait a few months for the PS3 version

8/28/2007 5:33:25 PM

graphics = PC > PS3, so uh, why wait?

8/28/2007 6:30:52 PM

Nah, it'll run on a DX9 system, just not as pretty

8/28/2007 8:31:01 PM

Yeah, considering none of the consoles are dx10 compatable, if you have a PC that will run it then you should probably buy it for PC.

8/28/2007 10:36:53 PM

This will be the most amazing game ever released. I can't wait for this shit!

8/29/2007 1:33:44 AM

They are releasing this demo on Halo 3 day.

That's a terrible idea.

8/29/2007 9:21:30 AM

from what I understand, there will be dx10 and dx9 servers to play on for MP gaming.

8/29/2007 9:22:40 AM

Why? It's a PC FPS. In general PC FPS fans hate Halo.

8/29/2007 9:22:44 AM

I think you're wrong. Maybe the closed minded ones or the guys who suck with controllers

I'm a PC FPS fan and love Halo.

[Edited on August 29, 2007 at 9:24 AM. Reason : ]

8/29/2007 9:23:45 AM

How could you possibly suck with the controller, or suck at Halo in general? The game aims for you, heals for you, has a radar that shows you where everyone is, and the maps are tiny. All you have to do is learn the layout of the maps and you're a pro. It's learning curve is equivalent to that of an MMORPG. I absolutely hate people who think they are god's gift to video games because they are "awesome" at Halo.

They aren't any worse than the people who think they are god's gift to video games because they are "awesome" at Counter Strike.

8/29/2007 9:33:56 AM

Hehe, I actually hate Counter-Strike too but for completely different reasons (it's an unpolished, unbalanced, mess of a game). I'm not saying there is anything wrong with liking Halo. The whole beauty of the game is how accessible it is to novices and veterans alike, and I'm sure it can be tons of fun. But even the biggest fans of the game will admit it's FPS lite.

8/29/2007 9:36:45 AM

So... Crysis beta started on fileplanet.com, first round of keys already went out. I'm waiting for 2nd batch of keys to come

9/17/2007 5:24:14 AM

What happened to the demo that was supposed to be out last month?

looks like a badass game with badass graphics but it is gonna take a monster of a system to run well.

I have a friend with a quad core, dual 8800GTs and 4Gb of Ram and he runs everything on medium and gets like 50-60 FPS . Granted, it's still the beta, but that is a 2500 dollar machine and it doesn't even allow him to crank everything up to high. Plus the beta only supports directx9, so there is no telling what the Dx10 will do to his rig.

[Edited on October 10, 2007 at 9:37 AM. Reason : d]

Pretty sure he will be able to run max settings with the final version.

^^ That is what he is hoping. He bought the system just for this game and if it turns out he can't enjoy the eye candy, he is gonna be pissed.

10/10/2007 11:16:45 AM

makes me glad i have an ati 1950xt....now i just need more ram...

10/10/2007 3:47:42 PM

^^He will have no problem running it on that rig.

10/11/2007 3:14:20 PM

Yeah I'm pretty much gonna have to get a new computer just to look at the box art of this game.

10/11/2007 3:18:04 PM

Wow the single player demo is crazy. Just came out tonight. Check it out.

10/27/2007 2:02:06 AM

I'm installing it now, lets see if it runs on this thing.

10/27/2007 9:11:28 AM

Friend's PC with duel 8800GTX's cant run the demo on high

10/27/2007 11:08:04 AM

it ran with no problems at low settings 1024x768 on my p4 2.4 /w a 7800gs. I bumped up some of the shader effects and a few other settings to medium and it was definitely playable, if a bit strained. Then i put everything on max for shits and giggles and it ran at like 2fps. Suprising that ir ran at all. But in the few frames i was seeing it looked pretty good. Especially the character models. Like farcry was, the release will probably be the best looking game ever.

As for gameplay, its pretty much the same as farcry. Pretty meh. If they can deliver on their multiplayer ideas it could be pretty fun.

10/27/2007 11:11:06 AM

Ran better than I thought it would on my PC. 1280 x 1024 on medium settings, only had slowdowns during the scripted scenes.

But the gameplay was nothing special.

10/27/2007 12:11:01 PM

rofl

i'm still rocking the 5 year old 3.06 w/ 1 gig of ram

i wonder if it'll even load the thing

You've obviously never played halo

It doesnt aim like warhawk i hate to break it to you

I mean you can hate a game all you want, but being this biased with no first hand experience is so fucking dumb its insulting

"Another interesting note that came from this weekend – NVIDIA acknowledged that SLI scaling on Crysis was some crippled for the time being. A new driver is going to be released that will help with it, but they are saying that Crytek has a couple of fixes of their own that need to be made for proper multi-GPU performance so again, we might want to wait for the final retail version of the software to really get into the multi-GPU capabilities of the engine. "

10/27/2007 3:39:18 PM

Ok yeah so SLI doesn't work yet, and nvidia just released a new beta driver (169.01) specifically saying:

"Recommended driver for Crysis single player game demo. "

It really helps performance in the demo.

[Edited on October 27, 2007 at 4:51 PM. Reason : bumped it up about 8-9 fps.]

10/27/2007 4:36:43 PM

I just want to know if this game is going to be good enough to warrant spending a few hundred bucks on Vista + 8800GT. The graphics look amazing, and I'm half tempted to bite the bullet just to see them, but I would love it if the managed to make a decent single player campaign (i could care less about multiplayer, TF2 runs that show).

10/27/2007 4:39:05 PM

I want to play this shit on my bigscreen tv

10/27/2007 5:15:05 PM

Then hook up a PC to your tv.

10/27/2007 5:37:36 PM

someone give me a good download mirror, im getting like 15kbs on both down and torrent

10/27/2007 6:00:32 PM

^Try FileFront. I got it in about 30 min.

10/27/2007 8:02:54 PM

game runs smooth, too bad the level is so short

All I have to say is "Oh My God" I played it at 1920x1200 on Med Settings on a BenQ 24" and I am a believer now.

10/28/2007 5:12:40 PM

Look at rocks or the ground and change the shader settings from medium to very high. There's so much of a difference.
