Hmm... that Internet Connection requirement looks an awful lot like something for DRM!

/devil's advocate

....and recommended specs - Sandy Bridge 4,5 Ghz + 580 tri-SLI @ 1680x1050

If it's as good as the first game I won't bother buying a new graphics card to run it.

You PC will murder ANY game

Jebbus! That's a $^%$ing rig. I should hope that thing can handle Crysis 2...

That being said, I don't think Crysis2 is really going to be the graphics hog like Crysis was. Crytek's main focus was making this game cross-platform, and not really pushing the graphics boundaries of the PC as they did with Far cry and Crysis.

If by murder you mean run @ 30fps then yes that's murder.

I think when it's all said and done Crysis 1 will have been the more demanding game. Set in New York, with all those tall skyscrapers that limit what needs to be shown, it's a step back.

I would have to agree here. I wasn't under the impression that the new CryEngine sought to take Crysis' graphics a step further, but rather make it more accessible to those with non-godlike machines (the game is multi-platform, after all). Rendering tons of foliage in a tropical jungle seems a much more daunting task for video cards as opposed to rendering urban areas.

Did you really have a doubt?

His computer costs as much as a house in Detroit does.

It looks fantastic. I might actually preorder it.

Am surprised they even allowed XP DX 9. The industry is pushing hard for a proper 64 bit OS with DX 11.
I wanted to play Just Cause 2 and cant. Thought I would expect someone made a hacked DX 11 that works under XP, and theres probably a way to spoof the game into thinking its running in Win 7.

I live near detroit and you could buy 10 houses for the cost of that computer. (sadly, i'm serious)

With your set-up... I won't feel so bad getting murdered by you in First Person Shooter games...D:

crysis 2 is much more optimized now so it will run pretty darn good on mid end machines too.

Not yet, but im thinking about trading the 09 in for it if i like it. Apparently they are having an upgrade package deal for gt-r owners. so im gonna check it out.

That's actually pretty bad. He just stands there taking shots in half the trailer (even from a tank...) and just turns to take them out one by one. It's like playing with hacks. Whatever happened to tactical combat...

Oh well, at least it looks nice (but not as nice as the first). :|

 

[TechBoyJK]

there's some good gameplay on youtube now that people are posting vids from the leak.

Correction, Crysis is now consolized. 60 fps is a must so the engine runs like glass on like NOT that much hardware. It's shocking actually.
