Crysis 2 Requirements

Hi

Well, i have been thinking, because Crysis 2 will be available on PS3 and Xbox360, would Crytek make another version of CryEngine3 for the PC and make the graphics quality between PS3/Xbox360 & PC look like day and night and require Gulftown/Core i7 CPU and two Fermi/Cyperss GPUs to max it out or use a little enhanced CryEngine3 on the PC that would not require a nuclear reactor powered computer ( like mentioned above ) to max it out.

And does anyone saw the official Crysis 2 PC requirements?

I appreciate your opinions

I doubt Crysis 2 PC will have sky-high requirements. Crysis 1 had terrible sales because Crytek went way too high with the system requirements. A fancy game is worthless when most PC gamers can't play it!

People also don't want too play a game with a buggy, leaky game engine....

I don't see why they wont. They are going to all the consoles because they could never get enough PC sales. So they will do whatever it takes to get more profit.

crysis 2...can't wait...even in crysis 1 i still cannot play in very high set...how shame....i wish i have the best computer in the world....any way... isn't crysis 2 have more features ? better AA maybe ?

btw...are direct3d 10 make's crysis better ?
if that right...tell me the so i can download it...are direct3d 10 avaible on xp ?

No, you are going to need Vista or W7.

Will I be able to play crysis 2 on dx10??

also, does anyone know what 3d shooter, or 1st person games like re5 or mass effect 2 are due out in 2010?

I know AVP is due out soon..

True. People dont realize that the console has no power what so ever. The Pc is "leap years" ahead of any type of console Because the xbox ps3 play there games at Low Rez and just Up convert there image to 1080p so... Technically they are both worthless with no quality what so ever.

crysis 2 should have lower requirements then crysis warhead

I couldn't disagree more. I really think more games should be like Crysis when it was released - with most people able to run it on Medium and looking great (compare Crysis at Medium to other 2007 games). That way when you get a new graphics card, you can up the graphics to High, then Very High and enjoy your game all over again with even better graphics than before. If you buy a game and can already run it on Highest, then you've got nowhere to go and nothing to show for hardware upgrades.

Remember, we're talking about how good a game looks, not what the setting says in the menu. Give me a great looking game on Medium over a rubbish looking game on Highest any day!

I personally think it will look as good as crysis 1 and maybe much better but it will be better coded in order to have reasonable requirements.

LOL then releasing on consoles is a JOKE. It will be like 3 times worse in graphics then PC. And even then it might fry the crappy 360 (:
Do you think it will have DX 11?

Crysis 2, if it were to surpass the quality and depth of the Crytech engine should be a cakewalk for Pentium 4 systems running Xp on the lowest settings, while also taxing, maxing, and churrning core X58 i7 4.0ghz oc'd, dual GPU fermi/Cypress systems on the highest settings to keep the benches and testing going along years after its release...... as a benchmark game Crysis was successful, as a marketing standpoint and game is was decent. I actually enjoyed the game but others didnt mostly due to their liking of the COD and MW series and their meak system requirments at the time( I at least had an 8800gt which was decent to play that when Crysis1 was first released.

do you guys think a INTEL core 2duo E8600 @3.33ghz will run the game Crysis 2 fine with a GTX 260 card?

If they can fit it on consoles requirements will be lower.

When it's actually out, and we can benchmark it, we'll tell you if it'll run well. Until then.... no comment.

I'm pretty much sure it can max it out, just don't expect 16xaa lol.
Your CPU and GPU are great just not sure about the RAM. It's enough for today games and running something in the background, but with Crysis 2 i think there will be a little bottleneck by the amount of RAM you have, but i might be wrong, i.e. you won't experience such a bottleneck.

Really I think Crysis sales suffered from a couple of problems. Not only did the high computer requirements hurt, but Microsoft packaging DX10 only with Vista which people hated. People wanted to play DX10 games but didn't want to have to upgrade their OS to a crappy OS just to play them. I think that was almost the death nail for PC games. It is nice to see some quality PC games coming back. There for a while PC games were becoming an afterthought. I think Crysis 2 will push the envelope again but will have settings that will be playable on lower level PCs.

Crysis 2 ,graphic looks good, but high requirements, im going to buy better cpu ,
wath cpu will be good for this game? around 120 $ I have ati radeon 4870,4gb ram, now i have only : processor,amd athlon x2 250 3.01 ghz ,its bad now ....

Athlon II X3 (435, 440, etc.) Athlon II X4, Phenom II X3 720, Phenom II X4

i think i will buy Athlon II X3 440,but how much better it will be than me old cpu

Hes asking for 120$

Ok ty !!! good luck to u all!!!!!

i just don't know why people want 16x AA with 2xxx, 14xx, 19xx resolutions. even something like 6x will do more than enough for pixelation i mean for smoothing pixels

Yes but not maxed out.
