Start Counting Down to One of the Year’s Most Highly Anticipated First Person Shooters

Redwood City, Calif. – August 2, 2007 – Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) and Crytek, award-winning developers of Far Cry, today announced that Crysis™, will be hitting retail stores in North America and Europe on November 16, 2007 exclusively for the PC. A technical achievement featuring stunning DirectX 10 and DirectX 9 visuals, cunning gameplay, and an epic story, Crysis is recognized as one of the most anticipated PC games and first person shooters of 2007, recently winning Best PC game from the Game Critics Awards: Best of E3 2007.

"Crytek is constantly striving to push the boundaries of both game design and technology, while maintaining quality at the highest bar,” said Cevat Yerli, CEO and President of Crytek. “We’re thankful to our fans for their support and patience, and we’re excited to bring them Crysis this year. It’s going to be worth the wait."

Offering true, open-ended gameplay, Crysis gives gamers an unparalleled amount of freedom that fosters completely unique gaming experiences. Players are outfitted with a revolutionary Nanosuit and an arsenal of fully customizable weapons, giving them a wide array of options not only in approaching the entire game, but every single objective or individual encounter. And they will need every advantage they can get going head to head against a menacing and highly intelligent alien threat amid dynamic, hostile battlefields that range from lush, tropical jungles, flash-frozen landscapes and a horrifying zero gravity environment.

Crysis also breaks new ground in multiplayer with the introduction of PowerStruggle – a unique team-based strategic mode for up to 32 players, where opposing sides battle for control of advanced weaponry and vehicles to overcome their enemies. For those who prefer the pulse-pounding action of deathmatch, Crysis will also feature an Instant Action mode, with the highly adaptive Nanosuit serving as the ultimate tool to outwit your opponents.

Crysis has not yet been rated by the ESRB or PEGI. Visit www.esrb.org or www.pegionline.eu for updated rating information. For more information about the game, log onto http://info.ea.com or the game’s official website at www.nanosuit.com.

Unless Nvidia comes out with their 2nd gen DX10 cards, I'll only be able to play in DX9 mode, but whatever I wanna pick up chickens and go turtle-hunting!
 
Yeah! Bring it one! My computer should be able to handle this with ease.

*dances*

Goodbye Pentium4! You served me well, but now you're becoming a HTPC!

Should be awesome for all 200 people who own a computer that can run it.

You are so clever. You are the first one to say something like this, ever.
 
I built a machine that should be able to handle it for like 1600 bucks nearly 6 months ago. "GAMING PCZ COZTZ LIKE 10KZ!!!!" is one of the most ridiculous memes floating around.

More like it'll cost most people $200-300 for a new videocard and that's it.

But that's still $200-300 for 1 game, which is very costly.

Sure, if you think of it that way. Which...is silly to do. It's like 200-300 for Crysis, better perfornace on older games, and future proof for more games to come.

Until you find in another two years that the CPU also isn't nearly fast enough, you need more RAM, your hard drive has filled up over the years, and you need to get yet another $300 video card.


FUTURE PROOF!

...if you play PC game genre.

If the only genre of PC gaming you play is the FPS, Crysis (is S.T.A.L.K.E.R. coming to consoles?) is the only PC-exclusive one in the next year or two, so it really is $200-300 for 1 game and by the time the "next" big PC-only FPS comes out you'll have to upgrade again so it's not really future proofing much.

At least that's how it is for me :\ Still might upgrade if it gets good enough scores.

If you have a machine that can handle crysis there's little reason to play multiplatform FPS anywhere else.

True and I agree, but with Bioshock coming before Crysis, what other multiplatform FPS are there? UTIII is the only one I can think of, but I'm more into single player stuff.

CoD4, too. UT3 will have a full, real single player component though, for what it's worth. Not just random bot matches.
 
EviLore said:
CoD4, too.

Ah. Hmmm, yeah I may upgrade if Crysis turns out well. If not I'll just wait until the card prices drop in a year.

The console CoD4's are supposed to run 60fps with dipping anyhow.

You guys just reminded me why I've never upgraded my PC again.

Q6600 - 2.4ghz(x4)
Asus P5N32-E (680i SLi option later on)
Corsair 2gb pc6400 800mhz
EVGA 8800GTS 640mb

Good enough to run it well right? .. I hope -.- didn't spend all that money for nothing! ;p
 
I will be doing a complete overhaul of my PC after crysis comes out so I hope they release spec requirements soon so I can start planning a new build.
 
Official system requirements and recommended specs have yet to be announced, but it is estimated that the lowest-spec PC that will run Crysis will consist of:

CPU: Athlon 64 3000+/Intel 2.8ghz
Graphics: Nvidia 6600/X800GTO (SM 2.0)
RAM: 768Mb/1Gb on Windows Vista
HDD: 6GB
Internet: 256k+
Optical Drive: DVD
Software: DX9.0c with Windows XP

With the recommended system expected to be:

CPU: Dual-core CPU (Athlon X2/Pentium D)
Graphics: Nvidia 7800GTX/ATI X1800XT (SM 3.0) or DX10 equivalent
RAM: 1.5Gb
HDD: 6GB
Internet: 512k+ (128k+ upstream)
Optical Drive: DVD
Software: DX10 with Windows Vista
 
it will be delayed! but anyhow...

these are my pc specs!

athlon 22000+
radeon 9800
1 gig of DDR ram

READY TO ROCK!
 
I was going to say:

"This thread will be filled with Hardware purchases and Rig declarations!"

But I was too late, and now it's obvious.

I just make the recommended system specs (no DX10 card). I just it plays OK on my PC, I don't want to spend more money on it this year, already spent to much on it already :(
