How much will Crysis lose for being Crysis

Looking at Crysis I see an amazing game I wont be playing anytime soon, my rig is defniantly not capable of playing it. Seeing as how the game cant perform its best on a regular rig. I am wondering how much will gamespot attack it for its technical requirments.Igwababa

many lemmings spread rumor suggest taht both crysis and MGS 4 will come to 360 hahaha

[QUOTE="Caveman626"]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 :(l-_-l

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

Would anyone honestly run a game on minimum settings, i know it would just destroy any enjoyment for me....

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

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.

Trust me if i wanted to play Crysis i would upgrade my PC, but i dont. I wasnt actually moaning originally i just couldnt believe anyone would be willing to play a game at bare minimum settings, sure i've played many a game at recommended or just below recommended but i could never bring myself to play on minimum.

I have done it in the past and a lot of people don't play anywhere near max. Personally it does not destroy the enjoyment for me. At least they are allowing more open minded people to experience the game and not just the people with good PCs.smokeydabear076

I never said i dont play games on recommended etc, just that i find it very hard to enjoy a game on minimum.

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.

Actually many are hyping it for its gameplay, like myself.........I really could care less what others are hyping it for.

buh buh buh whats a grafx card?

thats about the level of technical expertise these SW console jihadists have.

they can just about plug their console into the tv. "Red goes into red, and white into white Danny" said Danny's mom

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, because we ALL have thousands of dollars we are willing to throw around the place every 1-2 years just to play one game.

High technical requirements? Wow, thats the most uninformed statement I've haerd about the game yet. That game is made to run on a wide myriad of hardware, and if you don't have even a 6600 yet, then thats like me saying, "OMG MUH GEARS WON'T RUN IN MUH XBOX ONE LAWL". Seriously people, the 6600 is cheap as dirt by now. If you don't atleast own that you have NO right to complain.Vandalvideo

QFT. i gave my old pc with a 6600 to a friend. GAVE. No money.. not worth any...

new top of the linegraphics card = £300

i buy 20 games a year on average at £15 cheaper than 360/ps3 games seen as pc games in the uk are £25/30 new and console games are £40/45 new.

20x£15 = £300 = new graphics card every year = playing the best games current techonology has too offer= :D

also 360 online = 5x£40 = £200 = new powerful cpu :)

Upgrading is nice, but sometimes there arelimitations as to how much you can upgrade depending on your motherboard. My PCs motherboard only has AGP, not PCI-express, so I am stuck with the lower end Geforce 7300 (AGP version, my older card was an abysmal Geforce MX440). Still fairly decent, but my next "upgrade" will be a new PC :(

yeh, you kind of have to time it right as to when the new best bits of tech will be out.

You can still get fanatastically fast agp card though, i.e. x1950 pro.

No I think you do not understand. PC gaming is not this great nirvana that you guys make it out to be. How many games have you guys bought that did not work without a patch, or updating your drivers? I must buy more PC games then you all, because I know this is a major problem. I remember tons of problems with old ATI drivers and graphics cards. I remember safe disk not allowing to even install a game once. It seems about every third game you go through a major headache because you have to do a little tech support on your own computer.

Not only that but many times you have to fiddle with the settings to even get the game to the proper frames per second, you end up constantly adjusting new games to get the image quality/performance that you are used too. And there are times you start messing with the settings so much it becomes a game just to see how high your frames per second can go. Then you go argue about it with other people on the internet.

This is why console gaming is better, because the focus is on the games. You put it in and play. You do not have to alt+tab out to fiddle with your voice chat, you can change your music with the touch of a button. And you can expect everyone online to reasonably have the same chance because one persons hardware is not that so much more godlier than yours.

= shouldnt operate a convection oven, let alone a pc

pc gaming= fully customisable gaming experience in which YOU are the boss of how you play your games

console gaming = Same vanilla experience everyone else is getting. If a games framrate sucks, you have to live with it, if your consoles hardware starts showing its age, you have to live with it. If you don't like controllers for cerrtain genres, you have to live with it, if you want higher resolutions than 720p? tough , live with it.

see what i am getting at?

Less cheating on console, less fussing with settings, less likely hood of hardware or software conflicts.

If any of you PC gamers really do not think these things are true you have not been playing PC games that long. The earliest game I played on PC you had to make sure you had HIGH mem. Maniac Mansion, Space Quest, then through Doom, up to the Sims, on to Half life 2 and Wow.

Do not pretend or believe I do not know what I am talking about.

Thats right, but you are just pointing out more hoops someone would have to jump through to get the same experience on the console. It would take somewhat better graphics hardware to have the same level of graphics as a console. Games on consoles are better optimised. 360 games come with voice chat, leader boards, and anti-cheating on a level that you would only get with many extra party programs on a PC.

Thats the beautiful thing ABOUT PC gaming though. Its a fully customizable experience unlike your cookie cutter platform. The PC can become anything you want to. I can play it on my bed, I can play it on my head, I can play it in my chair, I can play it up or downstairs, I can play it on a TV, I can play it up a tree, I can play it on the pot, I can play it without it getting too hot. PC gaming is what you make of it. The PC can have better graphics, sound, mod support, and more to make games exponentially better, or you can easily have an experience equal to consoles exponentially cheaper thanks to cheaper games. Thats wherein the beauty lies.Vandalvideo

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.

Exactly. It's going to be the best FPS by miles, and I frankly don't care what Jason Ocampo thinks about it, I'm old enough to judge it for myself. If Crytek delivers on everything they say they are, this is shaping up to be epic.

According to crytek if you can run far cry you can run crysis. Same can't really be said for Supcom as an example. That game is almost not playable on hardware that can easily run a lot of good games.

I doubt it will be docked points if it is as scaleable as they say. Yes you will need a monster of a computer to maybe be able to max it out (as 1 8800GTX Ultra cannot even get close to maxing it) That may be a comment regarding it but a lot of big games tend to ship where you need a computer of the future to max it out but will play just fine on everything else

lol some of us cant afford vista and a DX10 card !_!

My PC will run it at quite high specs, but just not in dx 10, if the game isn't for xp i will cry.

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.

It'll be more like rating a PS3 game lower cos you can't play it on teh PS2

= shouldnt operate a convection oven, let alone a pc

I agree.

I highly doubt Vylence buys more pc games then all of us. I buy a good amount. Rarely do i find a game i have an issue with. Even STALKER i had 0 issues with. Brought it home installed it and poof you know it actually ran flawless without a single patch. I do know a lot of people did have problems but not everyone does. one of my friends used to always do tons of tweaking, etc.. and you know why because he was on an old OS with old hardware and expected things to run well. PC gaming evolves and gets higher requirements all the time hence why people don't buy 1 computer and use it forever without upgrading it.

In general unless you are buying those terrible bargain bin rejects you typically won't have a problem. There are some bad apples but in general it's all good.

You still fail to see that ovens have nothing to do with PC gaming, unless you like cooking games? You should try the Wii for that.

Why do you not try and focus on what the argument is about? I mean its obvious to me that some of the supposed PC gamers here can not actually believe someone would have valid reasons for thinking the console is better. Why do you not address the substance instead of being shallow?

Gamespot always lower ratings for intensive games, pretty poor way of looking at things. Developers try to advance gaming and because a game wont run on the office onboard graphics pc it gets a lower rating.

Anyone serious about pc gaming will be running this game on max and it will look and sound (play is up for grabs) amazing.

Its like reviewing a 360 game on the original xbox 'Won't run 0/10'.

Focus on what the argument is about?

Your trying to tell us that console gaming is superior because it caters to the lowest common denominator.

I reject this on premise, therefore I clown.

Like I said, If you have been pc gaming for so long, and you still dont know how to get a game to run easily, your lost.

console gaming is not worthless but it is quite inferior.

I don't care if your 12 year old brother cant get a game to work. I don't care if you don't knowwhat graphics options you can change without hurting the appearance too drastically. I don't care if you think something is superior because "it just works".

console is to pc as eunich is to man.

making cupcakes is probably harder than getting a game up and running. now thats relevancy
