Well, I don’t know about the console-worshipers, but I am more than willing to shell out whatever dough it takes to make this game as beautiful as it is capable of. I already have the demo, and even though my current system barely fits the minimum (including a less-than minimum graphics card; an ATI X850-series), it is visually astounding. The claimed scalability is absolutely correct: even on my system, though I must use the lower settings, the game is smooth, responsive, and richly detailed.

The gameplay is on par with the graphics, with lethally realistic AI and physics. The non-linear gameplay gives you extraordinary freedom in how you play the game; I have played through the demo half a dozen times, and each time it is almost like a whole new experience. The nano-combat suit opens up whole new areas of gameplay. I give it a double thumbs-up for the “fun factor”; definitely worth every penny!

I always expect great things of CryTek, but Crysis has taken the power of PC gaming to a whole new level. I fully expect this game’s engine to become the new standard for the entire industry; the flexibility demonstrated by just the demo is more than enough to attract any modder’s interest, not to mention CryTek’s competition, who will undoubtably be scrambling to catch up to this game’s level. If the Sandbox editor turns out as simple as CryTek says it is, I also expect this game to become as popular with the modding community as Half-Life.

As for what others have said above, I seriously doubt that there will EVER be a port for the X-box 360, simply because that system could never hope of handling the system requirements. Crysis is first and foremost a PC game, and unless the major console companies quickly develop a super-powered system that can support this game, Crysis will likely remain in the realm of the more powerful PC for some time.

Of course halo is much more likely to outsell – it appeals to a much larger audience, is very noob-friendly, and is the flagship title for X360 atm. Crysis is much more innovative both technologically and gameplay wise than Halo 3, and besides, Halo 3 is simply a massive fix of what the ruined in Halo 2, with a new plot. Nothing new there but the obligatory weapons, vehicles, and maps.

crap.

how can you use slow-mo mode against others in real-time?

this doesn’t make sense and would not work in any multiplayer game

this is just a marketing article, and this game will NEVER be as good as halo – email me and i’ll paypal you $100 bux if it outsells halo3

This game really will destroy Halo 3. I highly doubt it’ll outsell it, (what with the worldwide buzz of Halo), but it looks to be far superior. I also got my PC just so I can play this.

Has Crytek ever a game that isn’t based on a remote island? It seems like they are all spawned off of Far Cry, (which is nothing to be ashamed of).

This video doesn’t begin to show off the raw beauty that is Crysis. Hit up http://www.ea.com/crysis/home.jsp and check out some HD footage and prepare to weep.

@Pirate Gamer – I was about to say the same thing but you nailed it

streetsweeperz,

An article on joystiq.com published in 2006 states the following...

"Diemer was quoted as saying that "next generation consoles like the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 do not offer the sufficient power"

That said, we just shot an email off to our PR contact at EA with your question. Soon as we get a reply we will let you know.

@Jared
How do you find that odd? this year septmeber 11th is on a Tuesday, the day that movies and games are usually released on. Yes semptember 11th is a sad day but we can’t change the flow of things in remembrance.

I find it somewhat of odd that it could be released on September 11th.

They keep saying “Vista” this, and “Vista” that. All I have seen with each iteration of Windows is more bloat. The game will probably lock up a lot and lag. Personally, moving blades of grass and a little window shaking just doesn’t do it for me. I didn’t see an immersive gaming experience there.

a fortune? i work part time and afforded my amd x2 4200 , nividia 7900, 2gig xms ram and m32n mb for under 800 on newegg, and this was last year.
thats actually a lil more than recommended requirements

Minimum requirements of an AMD 3000 and an Nvidia 6600 video card, this is 3 year old technology. You could built a machine for less than the price of an xbox if you had to.
From what I’ve read, Crysis will scale so that older hardware can run it pretty well. Sure you’re not going to get all the newest shader technologies, but it will still run.
Besides, this is not the first game to come out that made people want to upgrade their machine in order to play it, look at when HL2 came out.
This is game is the only reason I’ve got a copy of vista running on my box and a DX10 video card.

So what your saying is that they should never make games better then they are now because you'll need to actually upgrade your PC to play on it. And if it's not compatable with older-hardware systems then it's no good?

Dude if the game companys thought that way we'd all still be playing Tetris and Doom would have been the last of the multi-player FPS.

I support Mad gamer 100 percent. That was a funny comeback with the bugging office thing. Anyways – for you idiots that have not heard of crysis or seen what it is capable of – go to youtube.com and type the word “Crysis” and watch a couple videos. This game is remarkable and will be the greatest FPS out for a very long time. and if you can’t support its minimum requirements, then I think it is time to upgrade anyways and get out of the dark ages.

TmP,

The "software" to run this game is $49.99. You are correct, the PC is not a console and PC gamers are familiar with the fact that software made for a PC has requirements which are set by the developer for this very reason.

PC owners will upgrade, and when they do they will want games that take advantage of their new system's capabilities. If Crytek didn't partner to create this game someone else would have. The demand will be there whether you will be or not.

Too much propaganda.
What you failed to add is the fact that the software to run this game costs a fortune.

Also, what if I have AMD/ATI?

Is the game optimised to run on that too?

PC is not a goddamn console. You either make it compatible to all software or go …
make games for XBOX or sth. It would probably look better.
