This was on gamespot a while ago

Yeah, two weeks ago.

This is a watermark-free version and it was exclusively sent to the many Crysis fan sites, like inCrysis from which it then spread all over the web.

This is also a revised version of the original which was first shown at the Game Developers Conference in early March.

Just so that you all know, through reading a lot of interviews with developers and watching just about every video released for this game. You will not HAVE to buy an amazing gaming machine to run this game. From what I understand it will be highly optimized for average computers. (Just don't expect to get the eye watering visuals)

Define "average."

I would say I have an average computer, but it is not really average as far as gaming is concerned. I still have an AGP based GPU, and I am sorry, seeing how S.T.A.L.K.E.R. pretty much runs like ass, I just cannot help but feel I need a much better computer than the one I own now.

So average is all relative.

If you upgrade your components on a semi-regular basis, okay, average may cut it (although honestly even then I have my doubts about how well a modern "average" computer will perform).

If you have not upgraded in over a year, than my "average" computer is not going to cut it.

My problem will be my "average" PC is hooked up to a 24 inch display. hah. I can cope just in stalker on my 2+ yr old rig (AGP too) but I think stalker will be that final nail in the coffin unless I can tolerate lower res gameplay.

Great point actually. I have a 20" Dell Widescreen, and indeed it is one of the reasons S.K.R. does look like ass. 1024 filling up 1680 just does not look good.

Sorry that should have been Crysis but I think people get the point

Anyway yeah, lower res isnt that great so I've had to deal with Stalker looking and running sub par to try keep the res up. NWN2 I managed to play lower but for a game that slow I really had no issues. With my PC being over 2 years old now I was bound to upgrade this year anyway. Prob Nov/Dec which should leave me in quite a good position to play this.
