Looks like I'll be going back to selling drugs and whoring myself on the corner.
 
Looks like I won't be playing this.

Finally! Ive been waiting on the corner a long time for you to come back.

I surpass the minimum, dont meet any of the recomended (except ram).

Im not getting it anyways though. I doubt it will be a good game.
 
lol. My brothers comp is nearly at recommended, but im going to have to upgrade to recommended this winter when hopefully it will be more affordable D:

Hahah yes it is, it's the best choice on many fronts.

Read this review, especially the last 3 pages.

Edit: By the time it comes out I will have a conroe E6600, 2gb ddr2 800, probably a nice dx10 card on par with the current 7900gt. A good mobo and cooler so I can overclock the E6600 from 2.4ghz to 4ghz if it's really needed. A very good soundcard (X-Fi extreme music) and extraordinarily good speakersetup. 720gb SATA2 storage.
 
I've got sorta the right spec, but get f*cked. Yes the game is awfully pretty, but the gameplay better take into account that a lot of people will be getting an interactive slideshow.
 
I'm so screwed, 512 MB of RAM, 2.5Ghz P4, 9800Pro!!:LOL:
Hopefully I can buy a new comp next year.. Several people have advised that I don't now because I can only pay it via loan now and that means alot of interest rates.:(
Man I wanna try this game..
 
Wouldn't upgrade to play something that doesn't go in any new direction besides graphics anyway.
 
Hey guys, check your sources before getting excited. As has been linked in this thread, these "announced specs" come from this forum topic post: http://www.crysis-online.com/forum/index.php/topic,141.0.html

Now read it. Yes, also the part right below the specs. I'll quote it here:

source of the specs said:
The above specs are simply speculation

See? These specs are guesses, as good as yours and mine. They are not official, have not been announced by the dev or publisher, and are therefore complete speculation. Crysis-online's about page shows this isn't any official forum either: "This site is an Unofficial Crysis website and has no association with EA or Crytek."

It's especially amusing how all these ever-trustworthy newssites are running this bullshit as official specs. Let's do a quick tour: VE3D doesn't note the unofficial nature of this stuff anywhere; same for ActionTrip; EvilAvatar goes as far as saying crysis-online is "the official Crysis forum", funny how the official site is still under development; even ShackNews falls into the trap; in fact, Joystiq is the only one I've seen noting that the specs are speculation.
Internet journalism truly has high standards.
 
Official or not, you only have to look at a few screenshots to realise Crysis will eat up currents pcs and spit out the rest.
 
Well I'm screwed...

It would seem largely pointless to play this game on low-spec especially considering what you could have with a higher spec system :(

Maybe this will be the game that pushes people to move to Vista and get a DX10 card.
 
Oh goodie, all I need is Vista and a new GPU and I'll meet the recommended specs easily.
 
-_-

I'm just about ready to say f*ck it and stick with consoles.

haha!! lol i thought you meant a geforce 6600 because alll you said was "6600" i would have understood that if you put E6600 o well lol.
 
I'll be set for this game at Recommended settings when I get my computer :D :D :D
 
This game is not made by DICE, so im sure there will be a great tweak guide available upon release. Also even if u have to play with sum or most settings on LOW im sure the game will still look & play wonderfull.

Plus with AMD in the CPU price drops this game will be a steal to play with.
 
Hmm actually, I don't know what the fuss is about really. Remembering back to the first time Doom III Half life 2 and FarCry were introduced there were similar outcrys of "zomg I'm just above minimum specs" about 6 months before they actually came out, so thats about right.

Except of course we had extra time with HL2 to get better cheaper upgrades because of the immense delay.

Yeah... I remember way back looking at the min specs for Final Fantasy 11, I was like "800mhz, ZOMG WTF!"

But that was around 2 and a half years ago though. To upgrade every two and a half years is asking alot for the casual gamer. I remember the last time i upgraded before Half-Life 2 came out was back in 1999, and i could still run games decently. I don't really know how, but i managed.

Not to mention that Crysis, albeit incredibly good-looking, isn't a successor to a game that defined the genre like Half-Life or Doom. (There's few people that would argue it is, but there are definitely more people that would argue Half-Life and Dooms influence on the genre has been much much bigger.)
 
...and?

People are still acting as if they're official specs, or alternatively as if the news that Crysis will probably require a monster machine is in any way surprising. I don't think anybody needs random speculation posted all over the web as fact to "realise Crysis will eat up current PCs and spit out the rest"...yet people were still going "oh shit, we're screwed" or "omg that's evil". D:
