YYAYYY!!

Will be fine.. obviously.

Cant wait

[Dane]

Dammit!!!! I have a P4 at 3.0 ghz, but it says it needs 3.2ghz. Blah, everything else is fine though.

[Soldiers33]

i bet those specs are based on a resolution of 800x600.

[Mouldy Punk]

I read the title of this thread as 'Crysis 2' so I was really surprised when I saw those specs :p

[+Mystic MVC]

I am really excited about this one. For the first time I can ever remember, I will have a computer that can crush a recently released game. Now if I can just get my RMA'ed ram back we would be fine.

[Max Veteran]

I have an overclocked Northwood at 3.2Ghz, 2GB RAM and a 6800LE 128MB. It will probably not run but maybe with everything turned down as far as possible so it looks like a piece of rubbish.

Thankfully, Far Cry 2 and GTA4 are the reasons I'm grabbing a new PC when Nehalem arrives.

SM 3 minimum mm i see some pushing in Techs

nothing special here except my piece of **** 88GTS have 320MB V ram

just wandering when will we see Core 2 quad recommended :p i think it is the same way they says core 2 family so i am in the better said ;)

quite large throgh ~12 gb of HDD

any word on DX 10 support ?

i hope crytek doesn't **** us off again

Far Cry 2 has nothing to do with CryTek, nor does it use the CryEngine.

It's a complete development from scratch from Ubisoft.

It uses DUNIA ENGINE, but I actually thought it used CryEngine2.

My bad

[sanctified Veteran]

My laptop uses a 8600M card and its not listed :(

[Ayepecks]

I read the title of this thread as 'Crysis 2' so I was really surprised when I saw those specs :p

Why? The requirements are almost identical to Crysis:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crysis#Development

Funny how they kept claiming it wasn't going to be demanding like Crysis, yet the requirements are virtually the same.

...also, why can developers never list the minimum OLD gen card (as they did here) AND the minimum current gen card? EG: 6800/9500 or whatever it would be.

@ sanctified: That'll play it.

[Andre S. Veteran]

I hope it's optimized for DirectX 10. My Vista + G80 installation isn't there just for show, let me use it!

But seriously, even if it's just a DX9 game with a superficial DX10 polish, it looks extremely promising, I can't wait to play it. The gameplay looks solid, the one thing they need to achieve is stability and performance. It's not easy for a game of this size and complexity.

My system cant wait!!! Finally going to be used, well Crysis does, but ya know.

[shiven]

So, does that mean it'll look that nice with an 8600GTS?

..

[DigitalE]

Time to build a new computer...

[Windows7even]

its either highly optimized or whacked out specs

[PricklyPoo]

Haha, my computer barely makes minimum. :/

[Jimmy0]

I think I am safe for this one. ;)

[brayan27]

wow. I guess consoles will have to suffice for me. :/

[shadowless911]

Fair enough.

[Ayepecks]

its either highly optimized or whacked out specs

Wait, what? Do we have two different definitions for optimized now? :rofl:

[Mouldy Punk]

I think the specs look pretty low to be honest. I have a 6800 which just meets the minimum requirements and its quite an old card now. To meet the requirements of a game that hasn't even been released yet is pretty impressive.
