Online-only FPS? It looks nice I guess, I like how they didn't add any sound. :P I'm going to wait for the reviews first.

It is the new game to boost hardware sales, Crysis dont do it anymore.

hehe i did the graphic test to see if i could play the game on my computer and got:

"Even though your computer has all the required hardware features the performance is estimated to be poor, even at the lowest possible visual settings."

High system reqs tell nothing about the actual performance. High system reqs usually mean completely unoptimized piece of crap. The screenshots, however, are amazing. They remind me of the first Crysis screenshots.

(The NDA has been lifted so it's okay for me to talk about this stuff). I was in the beta and, while the graphics are nice, it is no Crysis. They did improve the graphics a good bit from the start of beta to the end of it, though, so who knows. Maybe the game will look even better when it releases.

Actually, I really like the look of this game. Looks like you can still move around in a traditional FPS sense on various platforms or use your rocket/thruster pack. Nice take on some different gameplay. Looks like it could all take place in some very visually stunning locations. I hope it does have some kind of single player story as this game looks to have an interesting concept.

Its also very stunning in a very different way to Crysis. So far so good, in my books! :D

I dono, this has that sterile f.e.a.r. look to it, everything looks too much like a mid 90's cgi scene.

The first Crysis was very underrated... Everyone bashed it, claiming it was all graphics and no substance...

I don't know what they were smoking. Some of the best sandbox shooting action I've yet played. Every gameplay style and tactic could succeed if done right, and the sheer quality of the level design, gameplay mechanics and enemy AI made the whole thing riveting

Admittedly it went a little downhill when the aliens showed up, but it's just laughable for Halo and Call of Duty fans to bash this game.

Recommended 4870/GTX 260 :? whats up with that, it does look good but I don't see how it warrants a 4870 as a recommended.

Probably because its hard to see the high res textures, details etc in a youtube video. It also looks like all the lighting is real time and quite large scale. It probably has quite high poly assets. A combination of factors can quickly push up system requirements.

Yep. I've got all of that.

Either this game will be the crysis silencer...or its a incredibly inefficient systemresourceuser.

I think it's the first proper DX10 game out which is great, but seriously they propably couldn't have picked a worse theme ..I mean it could be good, but that bland space environment is gonna turn off a lot of people including me. Also I still think Crysis even in DX9 looks a fair bit better.

True it could play nicely, but the environment still looks bland. They could had gone further into the future and made some really sick looking space stations, or maybe on low gravity alien planet with all kind of funky stuff, now it just comes off as meh. Maybe that's just my personal preference, and I'd love to see it do well, but I would be surprised if it gets any love aside from people wanting to benchmark their rigs.

you should try it. I was in the beta and pretty much almost everyone was "I never thought I could enjoy it, but I loved it". it has a great atmosphere too, the low tech hard sf feeling is very refreshing and the gameplay is so unique it just keeps on sucking you in.

Well I got a Intel quad and the GTX 260. I just need Windows 7.

Edit- I cant think of a game out right now that recommends Quads. Well im good to go.

p3anut

the only one i can think of would be the pc version of Alan Wake, but that's been postponed indefinitely. at this time, a dual core (a good one mind you) would suffice for most games.

It's a primarily multiplayer game and most likely won't have any single player experience, since I only like single player games it doesn't interest me.

What does it matter who made it if it isn't my type of game?

Its futuremark and they've created some pretty impressive software. You just seem to be ontop of most things PC around here, but if its not something you have a personal taste for tehn yeah no reason to care about it I guess.

WOW Dragon, you only play single-player games? There's so much you're missing!! (not from current gen games, but last gen titles like CS: Source and WoW)
