hopefully we can see some more of it soonish


This is Stalker so soonish is not in the vocabulary. The first one rivaled Duke Nukem Forever. Although it was worth the wait.

It's even more impressive if you think about the scale of the game. I liked Stalker very much, although it had some shortcomings the tension and atmosphere were really well implemented. I also love how free you were in your choices and that you could chose your own directions, something Crysis lacked for me.

I hope I won't have to upgrade my graphics card already. Do you think it will work on my 8800gt.

It depends: OS? Are running it in DX9 or DX10? How much/what type of RAM do you have? What resolution and settings do you want to run it at? etc..

 

And once all of that is answered I can tell you with about 20% certainty if you'll be able to run it....the thing is that if you were to rate graphics of all games on a scale of 0 to 10 there are some 8.5's that would chug along on your PC and then there are 9s that would be fine. It all depends on how its optimized and how much time they put into the engine. Just based on how it looks you really can't tell how well it will run on a PC.

 

@topic,

 

I'm impressed, hopefully we can see some more of it soonish. I would love to see more gameplay in the traditional sense of a gameplay video rather than a trailer that happens to have a couple clips of gameplay.

Vista,DX10, and 2gb of ddr2 Pc2-5200 ram clocked at 333mhz.

What resolution and settings do you want to play it on?

 

My guess is that Vista and DX10 will cost you probably 4-5 FPS and that on a 16:9 res like 1280x800 (better than 720p) you would most likely be able to run the game at 40-50FPS average assuming you have a decent CPU.  It could turn out that you need to lower the resolution and it could turn out that you can play on 1680x1050....it just depends on how good of a job they do in optimizing everything.

1440x900. I could play crysis on high at 1280x1024. My cpu is a pentium dual core e2140 overclocked at 3.0ghz from 1.6ghz.

Yeah your CPU isn't quite as beefy as your Video Card but with the OCs you've made it sounds likely you will be able to play it at an HD res with good settings. But like I said its just a guessing game until people get a chance to play it for themselves.

Plus since I have the same video card you do I hope it does well..or that they at least support SLI well.

 I'm planning on upgrading my cpu anyway. I'm looking at some quad cores. Just can't decide if I should go their yet. Thanks for the estimates though.

Well if you go quad core you kind of need to choose a price range. Whatever you do don't fall for the "Extreme" lineup Intel has right now...its one of the most blatant ripoffs in PC hardware right now. 50% more power is not worth almost 7 times the cost.
