I think this game will have legs..

Like people say the system requirements are high but when time pass more more people have systems that can play this game on normal system requirements;

This game doesn't deserve to sell well imo, and Crytek will learn a valuable lesson from all this; it's more important to impress hardcore PC gamers (which are well accustomed to good shooters) by making a fantastic game rather than impress hardware geeks by releasing a piece of software that cannot be properly run on any rig on the planet...


What?A friend got a new PC Intel Core2Duo @ 3GHz with an 8800GT and 2Gb RAM and we could play the game at Very High settings with a respectable 30fps, and at High around 45-50fps. So i don't think there is no PC that can play Crysis.


I play on a Core2Duo @ 2.93 GhZ and 2 GB of RAM, ATi X1950XTX 512 and I only get semi decent FPS on medium settings and 2X AA... I'm pretty sure you can't run Crysis max on a rig like that, would've been with no Bloom, AA or HDR in any case, those are the real showstoppers in most engines.


upgrade your video cards, thats all thats holding you back.


My best friend has a similar setup, only with a Core2Quad @ 2.67 and an 8800 GTS 712, he still can't get it above 20 FPS with 4X AA and full HDR effects on...

How's your rig btw? You're mainly a PC gamer like me so far as I know.


 your friend needs a GTX or Ultra. The 368-bits that the GTX and Ultra supports greatly helps in Crysis, he could also try out SLi with the GTS.

 

Anyways my rig right now can only handle crysis on low. Now the one I'm building in the spring will run it on very high.

Nice! I played and beat Crysis at a mix of medium and high settings with about 50 FPS. Far Cry 2 is going to have even higher system requirements though.

I figured this is what's going to happen. I honestly don't see how they expected it to sell like crazy starting out. Computer games generally trickle in over a long period of time when it comes to sales as people upgrade their computers and decide to pick it up.

It just strikes me as really weird that they would think it would do anything but that. Generally there's a game that makes you say "I need to upgrade" as it's usually the flagship of things to come. This game is that flagship, someone had to bite the bullet, but hardwares sales are going up from what I understand. You can't even find an 8800 gt right now.

I wonder what the sales numbers will look like 8-10 months from now, or when SC2 comes out.

Maybe Crytek's "no computer on earth can play our game" marketing campaign wasn't such a bright idea. That and yet again there were too many AAA FPS' released in a 2 month period this year. How many different FPS' can a person play at the same time? I have no idea what's up with UT3. I plan to eventually get it but I went with Call of Duty 4 instead for this year's PC FPS purchase.

At the same time, the Witcher devs announced that they already sold more than 1 million copies of the game worldwide.
I doubt Crysis and UT3 have achieved more WW. Hype isn't everything it seems.

 500 GB @ 15k rpm?! Whooah, sounds "cheap"... Raptors are only 11.200 rpm, right? This reminds me; I need more disc space... 800 GB just won't cut it no more. I once saw a dude on DC++ with 2.7 terra's of porn, alphabetically sorted and categorized by genre... Spending time on internet forums such as this makes a bit more sense than that I think.

 Do you ever leave the alien world once you're in? I got to that point, played for about half an hour, and then found it so boring I haven't even bothered finishing it...

 Are you going to be running Vista in 32bit or 64bit. Because if you aren't using the 64 bit version you are wasting your money on RAM. Anything above 2 Gigabytes isn't getting used by XP or 32bit Vista.

XP 32-bit (SP2) can "handle" 4Gb but it shows up as 3.2GB.  But you're absolutely correct that 16GB is not going to be worth a damn without 64-bit...and I would suggest Vista over XP64 for a 64-bit OS for gaming...not really a contest at all either.

With that said, are you sure you don't want to buy a small country instead? =P
