Crysis [can you handle it?]

[MiDNiGHTS]

Crysis is a new first person shooter being developed by Crytek, the makers of the award-winning Far Cry. The game is to be released (hopefully) in Q3, 2007 and will be published under EA Games.

Players take the role of Jake Dunn, a United States Delta Force Soldier sent into a mysterious island in the South China Sea to investigate an unidentified flying object that has crash in the area.

Crysis is highly anticipated, as it will be one of the first Direct X 10 games. Some of the technology it will utilize include dynamic day/night cycle, fully interactive environments, sunrays and diffuse transmission, real time soft shadows, soft particles, interactive/destructible environments, volumetric clouds, and advanced shader technology.

This is the game that will shift the tide again and show PC superiority over consoles but the question is...can your system handle it?


Some general screenshots.

Recommended Requirements

CPU: Dual-core CPU (Athlon X2/Pentium D)
Graphics: Nvidia 7600 or ATI X1600 Pro (SM 3.0) or DX10 equivalent
RAM: 1.5GB+
HDD: 6GB
Internet: 512k+ (128k+ upstream)
Optical Drive: DVD
Software: DX9.0c with Windows XP

I barely meet the recommended requirements except the ram (1gb only) so I definitely wouldn't be able to play this comfortably.

Those are not official by the way so they could go higher or lower by games release. Also worth mentioning that the developers may have "secret code" that they will unlock with a patch later on after the game is released for future hardware. What you see could only be the beginning...graphically.

Happy ill be able to run it, and probably on high. i truly dont think its going to require geforce 9 series to run on high and the 8800 i have will run it smoothly. Hell, wouldnt doubt some of the 7 series running on high.

ITT: People makeup system specs to get a bigger E-Penis.

I've never played it before but I've seen the graphics and I hear its hard to tell real life from fake. (maby exaggeratant.. if that's even a word)

Crysis is a realistic phantasy, - as opposite to Bioshock's phantasy realism. If you want to get the best performance out of Crysis, you should run the DirectX9 batch file. I didn't experience any problem while playing on high settings. By the way, Crysis Warhead - expansion pack - is coming real, real, real soon this September (~16th). More "Psychos", less chess-players.

p.s. You spell it "exaggerated".

Go to gametrailers.com and check out some in-game videos of it. It's a pretty game you can't argue that but I wouldn't go as far as to say it looks like real life but hey you be the judge.

You contemplate realism and fantasy, games and internet, alternative worlds and space dimensions; subconsciously emerges Schopenhauer's "possible means not what we may picture in our imagination, but what can actually exist and last." And Marcus Aurelius's "everything is by nature made but to die." Then you suffer from migraine.

I can play the game on rig.. But then I need to buy a new video card to be able to run it on high specs.

Just added another HDD to my PC and cleaned the dust filters and the case..so I took a few pictures with my (crappy) cellphone-cam.

Specs:

CPU: Intel Core2Quad Q6600 @ 3.4GHz
RAM: 4GB Corsair DDRII-800 @ 945 (5,5,5,15)
Mainboard: Gigabyte GA-EX38-DS5
GPU: NVidia Geforce 8800GTS-512 @ 730/2030
HDDs: 1x Western Digital RaptorX 150GB + 3x Samsung Spinpoint F1 750GB
Soundcard: Creative X-Fi Music
Case: Thermaltake SopranoFX
PSU: Tagan TG500-BZ (500W)

It's now half a year old but still can display most games with the highest video settings (except Crysis:runintears: )

I really thought the minimum requirements where much higher then what kbryc08 posted.

Could easily play it without a doubt.

Problem is, I find FPS games to be absolute garbage, that deep down, are all the freaking same, so they try to spiff up all of them with good graphics.
