Can I just buy a DVD of Shawn playing this game?

 

[Foxtastical]

Normal, minor zoom, iron sights/optics? Three shooting options?

If so, awesome.

 

[Joe Molotov]

My Quad-Core PC with dual 8800Ultras just locked up while loading the screenshots.

 

[Pimpbaa]

I hope at least one enemy in the game says "I'm gonna shoot you in the face!".

The clip in the 1UP Show is wonk since the rest of the gang was justifiably punking me the entire time I tried to play, but to be fair I had been playing for extended stretches earlier that day. I felt all proud when one of the devs told me to play as long as I'd like cos it was showing the game off and attracting a crowd...until Bryan stepped in with DOOD, YOU GOT WHAT IT TAKES TO DO GAME DEMOS AT TRADESHOWS! And I felt like a retard who wanted to be the kid from The Wizard.

 

[Frenck]

I hope they release a demo, I want to know if a X1300 is enough to play it on medium settings

 

[Muddimar]

That second guy looks like Chuck Liddel...lol

F*ck'em. We want moar.

What was the default key lay out? WASD, QE(lean) Space(jump,) Tab(use?) Shit(sprint?,) Ctrl(crouch?,) Alt(?) etc...

I'm asking just to get an idea for what the main action are and figure out how easy it will be to hot-key all the special suit shit.

Yep, more or less standard. F is enter/exist vehicle. The number keys swap vehicle seats/guns. F1 is camera perspective when in vehicles. Shift + space is super jump when suit strength is active, and I assume you know how suit parameter switching works with mouse3/scroll wheel. Although I didn't want to **** with the settings too much on the show floor, they assured me that we can bind specific suit abilities to any key we want.

I'm thinking I'll bind grenade (normally G) to mouse 4 and then prone to 5, depending upon how useful going prone is. Alternately, I'll try speed on 4 and strength on 5, as I love combo-ing the two.

Any idea what the system specs were on the demo station?

 

[Deepblue]

Is it just me, or is anyone else bothered by the eyes?

EDIT: They look "dead."

Interesting quote from http://forum.beyond3d.com/showpost.php?p=1034053&postcount=104

Did an interview with one of the producers concerning the title while at E3. Absolutely the most impressive game displayed period. They had the title running extremely smooth on a e6300, 2 gig ram, 8600 @ 1280x960 using what looked to be a 20" Dell. Everything was well defined from lush vegetation, character models, to animations and explosions.

-inside scoop looking like a delay (unless of course this has already been mentioned as I have been too busy to follow the media as of late)

I've also read reports of the E3 demo machines being E6600/2GB/GF8800GTX.

I don't believe that at all.

I'm pretty positive it used an 8800 GTX as that's the point of entry for the private beta test.

Did you hear any info on jesus crysis being delayed a couple months? I'm still surprised the game is set for a Sept release, and I'm going to build a new PC around Crysis so I want to get the main components as close as possible.

I'm doing the same (well, waiting 2 weeks after release to see what people are reporting as the best pieces of hardware for it!) and would also be surprised if it released in September.

I would bet that the demo will be release mid to late August, with the game coming out late September/October at the earliest.

And regarding those rumoured specs, would be awesome if it was true!

Nothing official, but I'd say it will not ship in September. I'm guessing November.

Does anyone know if you can go prone in the game?

Sure you can.

Crysis will be released on Nov 16th in NA and Europe!

i have a 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo with an 8800 GTX video card, i think i'll upgrade to 3Ghz Core 2 Extreme for this game

 

[Mrbob]

Nov 16 official release date confirmed, cool.

Now it is time to get down and dirty on a PC upgrade. I'm going to cut it close, though. I think I'm going to wait till November to get a video card, as I really want to see if Nvidia will have the 9800 series out by then. You would think they would want it out for Crysis. I know it will probably run fine on a 8800GTS at my monitors native res (1440 X 900), but I figure the extra horsepower can't hurt. Unless, of course, I get the itch to upgrade sooner.

Edit: NVM. I'll take this out of the Crysis thread.
