How much will Crysis lose for being Crysis

I agree this game will probally fail at first because There are only a very small number of pc owners that their machines can run. So sad :(Caveman626

The games scalabe back to 3 year old hardware.....

agreed, if your a pc gamer ( which is generally the audience companies that make pc games go for) you will have no problems running crysis.

Yes but because you need to be a gamer just to run it ber minimum makes me nervous that GS will shoot it down like with Sup Com

Does it matter? You and I both know Sup Com is a great game, let them mark it down, let cows or lemmings or sheep (I havnt seen many sheep lately :S) have thier "Ownage" ... that wont stop it from being one of the most epic games this year or any other year for that matter.

Just goes to show that most people on SW have no idea what they are talking about when it comes to PC gaming. My rigs are about 3 years old, I'm expecting to run Crysis smoothly on medium settings. I don't need vista and an 8800 blah blah blah. Plus, it's not all about the graphics.

I realize that you dont need a crazy $3000 rig or anything but how much slack will GS give it for having a fairly hefty requirment

yeh no doubt gamespot will blow a hissyfit that their geforce mx4400 or whatever they seem to run pc games on won't play it very well. Gamespot do it with all pc games that are mildy hardware taxing. Every game is a system hog according to them.

besides crysis is allowed to be a system hog, just look it !

alot, they do it with almost every mildy good looking pc game,

stalker, supreme commander, oblivion, fear e.t.c the list goes on

battlefield 2 pushed system reqs as far as they possibly could when it came out

but it let the rest of the industry do it then too letting games look lots better

personally i dont believe in lowering a game's score because johnny and susy across the street can't run it on their computers. It should be reviewed as a game, and on what it was meant to be played on, a powerful PC. It's like rating PS3 games lower because the PS3 is the most expensive console. That would be nonsense.

That's kind of pathetic. If Crysis becomes a competitive FPS, I'll be all over it, low settings or not.

NO low settings usually ruin the game for me, I loved Sup Com but because my rig couldnt handle it with close to a thousand units a team I stopped playing it

There's nothing pathetic about it, if i buy a game i want to get the most from it, and i'm not willing to settle for lowest settings.

Yeah, I don't see the logic behind it either. Crysis is the most technologically advanced game to date. Literally. You would expect a top-of-the-line computer to run it the way it's meant to be run. It's just common sense.

Gamespot likely gave the Half-Life games bonus points for being able to run so well on even low-end systems. That's fine. Score them higher for having an optimized engine, but don't score them lower for having an engine that's too advanced for many computers to run smoothly. Score them lower for having a crummy engine, like Neverwinter Night 2's engine, which takes a good computer to run well but doesn't look good enough to deserve it.

Gamespot scoring games lower because they look and play fantastic, but understandably take good computers to run well, is like telling developers "guys, please lower the bar."

besides the fact that a 8800, C2D, and 2 GBs of RAM will run it at ultra-high, does anyone know the actual minimum and recommended requirements? for all we know, it will be extremely well optimised and the requirements will be much lower than we think.DDX2

Or it could be the complete opposite, what about this "Quad Core , 4GB RAM , 8800 GTX is for Ultra High" thats going around?

Your rigs 3 years old? Don't even bother buying it!

Ulta high? Try Ultra low

The game was built from the ground up for Quad cores processors and you'll probably need a 8800 ultra to run it at decent settings

If the game takes a hit because of its high requirements it deserves the hit. Why should they rate a game as having the best graphics if the majority of people will only see those graphics a year or two down the road when they upgrade their computer?

If they released two versions of an Xbox 360 game, one with one without hard drive support would the Hermits agree that it would be best that they only rate on the hard drive version? I doubt it.

As others have said if it is truly a technological marvel they can optimise it to run well on almost any system. If it isn't a tech marvel they can not. And I must say I remember Farcry needing some serious requirements to run max when it came out.

I agree this game will probally fail at first because There are only a very small number of pc owners that their machines can run. So sad :(Caveman626

alot of people can play the game because most of the computer forums i read have rigs capable of running crysis perfectly.

core 2 duo will do fine, but probably with a little less FPS, besides atleast more than half have quad cores. the GTS cards will do just fine.

the gtx is better than the ultra because its cheaper and can OC ultra speeds.

koalakommander is right.

a steady 150 fps on Half-Life 2/ CSSource, etc... I think I can run crysis a least on minimum. And even then, I'm sure the game will look great.

If your PC can run Far Cry, Doom 3, Half Life 2, then it can run Crysis. You guys act as if the game can't be enjoyed unless the graphics are maxed out. :roll: I bet playing the game on meduim settings will still look better thenany PS3 or Xbox 360 game.

Yeah your right, considering Cevat Yerli stated that their wasn't really any noticable difference when the used a quad core CPU.....

umm depends there are supposedly 20 million vista people out there, i wouldn't say 1 million sold is out of the question but i would really surprised if its substantially more than two million.

My rig can barely run civ 4 so thats a definite no on the whether i can run the game.

Max settings without framerate drops will be tough.

Do you have any idea what you're talking about? Or do you enjoy pulling things from your ass?

I have a E6600 C2D 2 gigs of ram ( 1 gig flash drive for ready boost in vista as well ) + a Evga 8800 GTS 640mb video card. I am expecting a mix of medium and high settings, anyone who actually belives this garbage about running the game maxed on hardware similar to mine... your fooling yourself :lol:

Dev's always lie about hardware requirements because they don't wanna scare away potential customers with hardware requirements that they can't meet. And sure I bet even 2 year old hardware can run the game on medium settings... that don't mean your gonna get a stable 30 fps ... that could mean that when your walking around you get 30 and the second a gun fight breaks out perpare for 5-15 fps :lol:

its a known FACT that minimum and Recomended requirements by PC dev's are BS, and if you don't know that by now then you obviously must be new to PC gaming.

If Crytek actually managed to release the game ( Mind you on the release copy not a year later after patchs ) and have it run the way they say it will run on the hardware that they say its been running on.... I will be impressed, and it will be a INDUSTRY FIRST ! But chances of that.... welll lets just say you have better chances winning the lotto.

The recommended requirements on PC boxes are usually for playing the game with a steady framerate at medium, maybe med/high settings at a decent resolution.......

Cevat Yerli has told us what it will take to run Crysis on Ultra High settings, a E6600, 2GB of RAM, and a 8800GTS/GTX. Not to mention people have looked inside the machines to see what they're using to run the game....who shall I believe, gaming magazines/websites/Crytek, or some mindless console fanboy? Hmmmm......tough choice.

yes crysis has some great gameplay elements, but the most predominant factor that is making Crysis major talk amongst PC gamers is graphics. Just like FarCry, Crysis is being hyped for its graphics. So if you cant play it at High or Max settings, then the hype for this game is very little.
