I tend to notice stutters and pauses quite easily for some reason.
Even if I see a slight pause I notice it while my mates just look at the screen going what?

Just a minute Davidelmo....

I'm not starting a debate.....Competition is great, and the more there is, the better for you or me. However, the possible negative side is that the industry moves very quickly, forcing you to upgrade etc to keep up.. however, like I said, that's the price you willingly, knowingly pay.

I'd say the debate is maturing quite nicely...and for the better!

David...I'd say you have forgotten something very simple. Game developers are in business to make MONEY....as much as possible no doubt. On this idea we all can agree.

Another idea we can all agree on, is that the MAJOR share of the money made by Game developers does not come from Hardware manufacturers like nVidia or AMD. This is also very true!!! The MAJOR money comes from you and me...aka the gaming customer base.

When a Game Developer places roadblocks between their new game and their customer base, they are committing FINANCIAL SUICIDE. Those roadblocks include "only runs on XP" or "runs best on 8800", or "requires 2GB of ram", or "requires SSE2 or SSE3", etc.

I want to buy GRAW2 or the PC, but it "only runs on XP". I want to play the CRYSIS demo, but it "only runs on XP". Remember that a happy gaming customer base will keep buying future game releases as long as they are backward compatible. An unhappy customer base quickly abandons the foolish Game Developer and clings to those that understand who REALLY pays the bills!

Absolutely, and yes they probably ARE isolating people who don't have quad cores, vista an 8800gtx and 4gb of RAM. But on the other hand, they MUST think that there is profit to be made and that people will still buy the game! I'm sure they will have conducted market research etc to find this out.

At the end of the day, if no-one can run it and they are not willing to upgrade then the game will fair horribly. We'll just have to wait and see I guess!

i just bought a new PC which will arrive in a couple of days, and for what i payed, it better bloody run Crysis without too much trouble, or ill be taking the game back and getting another.

Its all well and good pushing boundaries, but releasing a game now that you can only play of high res with everything on very high, on the next generation of GPU's is just simply ridiculous, and frankly i hope they get crucified for it so they wake up to themselves. This is just my opinion however.
