Talk about taking a flying leap into the future of gaming.. Welcome home Crysis.

This will be the Greatest PC game of 2007. And maybe even 2008

It's even more important then that time that guy in the Black Mask said "Luke, I am your Father"...LoL

RISE! CRYSIS ... RISE!

Shaka2K66137d ago

But how much is it gonna cost to play this game, $3000 ??? wow thats even worst then paying $400 every 3 months to play halo 2.1.

Hazy > Crysis.

/nuff said.

Vojkan6137d ago

Crysis is great good looking game, but problem or question is, how many people will be able to play it as "max" specification? Like 2%? This is showcase title.

DeadlyFire6137d ago

It doesn't cost that much. Use that calculater on your PC. You can easily get a good PC within that range for $1200-2400. Depending on what speed RAM and what processor you go with. Intel CPUs get a slash in July and a few new Intel Core 2 Duos coming with cheaper prices around the same time.

Q6600 Quad-core CPU + Motherboard = $499
8800 GTS(320 MB DDR3)GPU = $300
160 GB HDD = $60
2 GB RAM = $100

Case + PSU
1. Case + 700 W = $100
2. Case + 500 W = $40

16x DVD-ROM + 52x CD drive = $25
Monitor 19" - 22" = $150-300

Cheaper side: $1150
Higher end of same stuff = $1360

Also add in Win XP($100) or Vista($100-400), Keyboard+Mouse($20-50), maybe speakers($2-100)

PSU can vary as well depending on what you want in your system. Like if you wanted SLI best to get 600-800 Watt.

All of those prices come from Tigerdirect.com might can get better deals on some other sites like newegg.com, and others.

The_Firestarter6137d ago (Edited 6137d ago )

You're absolutely correct, DeadlyFire. I hate assumptions, like as if it costs "$3,000" to play the game. It's so annoying, I swear. I know a bunch of people think this game looks really good, but are afraid to admit it, because they wouldn't want to spend "$3,000 for just one game." That over-exaggerations is so typically widely accepted, but incorrect.

ASSASSYN 36o6137d ago

I want to finger-F$%^ this game.

Kaneda6136d ago (Edited 6136d ago )

No wwayy! that is CGI pre-rendering...that is not game play...

Rybnik6136d ago (Edited 6136d ago )

I think I can say with 100% certainty that Crysis on max settings easily looks better than 2005 Killzone CGI. OMG!! that second video was mind blowing!! Haze, and Uncharted look good, but this is really within a few percentage points of photo-real. The problem is that few will be able to enjoy it like this, 'til at least a year so after it comes out..!

No one cares. The whole can it run Crysis is old, dead and stupid. It's also irrelevant, considering only less than one percent of pc owners, own a high-end PC. Second, I believe Crysis wasn't even optimized properly.

TheColbertinator375d ago

Crysis blew my mind back then and still kinda does.

bunt-custardly375d ago

Let's hope the modders can get the other Crysis games working in VR as they use the same Cryengine.

Bioshock still looks fantastic, one of my all time favorites.

Yui_Suzumiya447d ago

Beyond: Two Souls on PS3 can compete with modern day graphics.

SonyStyled447d ago (Edited 447d ago )

Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3

jasonismoney447d ago

I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.

SonyStyled447d ago

@jason I watched some gameplay videos of KZ2 and R3 on my full screen. They are on par or succeed graphically to the first person shooters mentioned in the article that also launched on the seventh generation of consoles. Try the same and see what you think

cthulhucultist446d ago

Killzone 3 was super impressive! I could not believe the graphics back then as I was regularly pausing the game to stand in awe looking at the surroundings! Resistance however did not impress me that much. Heavy rain is also another amazing graphically speaking game. It almost felt next gen

Fist4achin447d ago

I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.

SonyStyled447d ago

They did for their day. I recently played gears judgement with on the 360 and the draw distance was so blurry. The characters up close look great though

JEECE447d ago

Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.

iNcRiMiNaTi447d ago

It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good

JEECE447d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.

Can It Run Crysis? The Only Steam Deck Question That Matters

Digital Foundry: "When Alex Battaglia got his hands on a Steam Deck, this was inevitable, right? So can the Steam Deck really run Crysis? And if so, what type of optimised settings produce the best performance? What's the best balance of features and battery life... and what about 60fps?"
