Crap, I need a upgrade.

[flibitijibibo]

*Sniff, sniff* I smell Crysis, but with a better warning...

I seem to be fine in all the specs, but a recommended 8600GT worries me. Hopefully my 8800GT can take it.

[Hotrod]

Well, I meet the recommended specs, and past by them without any problem, except for my processor, which is one model lower. I think I'll be able to run it quite well though.

That's what they said about crysis. :rolleyes:

[Ifafudafi]

I'm currently awaiting a new computer with dual 512MB GeForce 9800s, 4GB RAM, and a Core 2 Duo, so I'm pretty sure I should be fine with this.

It's a completely different engine than Crysis, and it needs to run well on the 360 too, so I doubt it will be as demanding.
But then there was H2V, which required tons of power to run despite poor graphics, so you never know.

[Hotrod]

Well, I guess we'll have to wait until the release to know exactly what kind of computer you'll need to run this well, since testing the game on your computer is the only good way to know if it'll run.

[Limited]

My CPU doesnt even meet minimum.

[Amit]

ROFL, Limited.

I meet everything just my video card isn't supported :gonk:

Well my video drivers say X1600 Series/X1650 Series so maybe it's...somewhat supported? I know, I sold two 3870s to buy two 4850s and I still don't have them :( Well I just went out to buy a new TV, my other is 22 year sold and busted last week. I had to chip in $349+tax CAD to get a standwith the mount for it. It hurts me.

:\ People complaining and complaining about system specs. No one is forcing you to play it on high settings.

[flibitijibibo]

That's not true, Zeph... the visual-whore gremlin stuck to the back of my head is... =/

[Zeph]

exactly, no one.

Because Gears 2 looks and performs better and it's running on a console.

[Zeph]

Because Gears 2 looks and performs better and it's running on a console.

A console which can devote nearly 100% of itself to running a game compared to a machine which has to balance itself dynamically amongst running various applications and drivers on an absolutely huge range of hardware across an absolutely huge array of resolutions (15^8).

You of all people should know better than to say that.

edit: 15 to the 8th power is 2,562,890,625. Yes, it's highly doubtful that anyone would be running 8 displays at 2560x1600 but the drivers have to be prepared for that.

[Saggy]

Well, I almost meet recommended requirements. I'll probably be upgrading my graphics card to an 8800 GT later, but my processer is what worries me.

Oh quit fucking using that argument. We all know Crytek2 is a clunky bloated, gimmick ridden waffle. Regardless of system specs, the Unreal Engine 3 performs better for what it looks than what Crytek2 does. Console and PC.

I'm complaining that I can't run the game at all with my crappy X1300 PRO.

Of course Unreal will be better optimized for PCs. They've only been using the engine since nearly the dawn of 3d graphics. Engines are not what I'm talking about. It's the people who dont understand how a console can outpreform a computer on similar and worse hardware specifications.

Thats like watching porn with blurred out naked parts, it might tickle my fancy but wont get the job done.

Except Far Cry 2 doesn't run on Cryengine 2. :awesome:

As stated previously, I'm not too worried thanks to mah new compy coming in; and even then, I could always just grab it for 360.

[Timo]

Looks like i'll be buying it for my 360 then ;) I only meet the minimum requirements D:

[Pooky]

My CPU doesnt even meet minimum.
This.

I'm not complaining, but you do need to meet minimum specs to actually play the game :)

Hey guys, is 11 inches big enough?

[Sunray]

Wait... Only the 8700M and 8800M are supported? So my 8600M won't be? I'm sure there'll be ways round that...

[343guiltymc]

It will probably still play, but not as well as as the 8600 GT.

[Dr Nick]

Well, I have a GeForce 9600GT waiting to be installed, so I'll be able to run it with decent settings, too :D

[Hotrod]

Hey guys, is 11 inches big enough?
...

What exactly is the difference between the 8600M and the 8600GT? I know the M stands for Mobile, but performance-wise, how does it compare?

[flibitijibibo]

The MGT is worse. Mobile GPUs are always worse. There's no real consistency to how much worse, though.

I'm using an 8600MGT right now actually. Think of it as a 7800 Go, it's pretty close to that.

[ExAm]

That's not true, Zeph... the visual-whore gremlin stuck to the back of my head is... =/High five of mutual graphical OCD! :awesome: ... :(

No. I've seen game play on an 8600GT with the same specs as me and in the same game, and, to make the story short, he (my friend with 8600GT) can only match detail at lower resolutions compared to my 7800GT.

[flibitijibibo]

Woops, I meant 7800 Go.

Stupid gpureview.

Map editor looks nice.

[ODX]

Wow, way easier to understand, but what do you expect? It is going to be on PS3 and 360 too. They does not haz mouse+keyboard 2 control. Though, it almost seems too easy to make a map....

[Snowy]

Hey guys, is 11 inches big enough?
More than adequate. However, you may have to do some convincing, she may think it's too big and not want to go near it for a while.

I wouldn't call that a map editor, but more of.. a "lego" effect.

"Lego" effect or not, it still get's job done without the hassle and the tears.

[Evil_Monkey]

That map editor looks amazing, can't wait to use it.
