Benchmark Scores I dont have time for that.
My point was that Mailman's comment isn't all true. Crysis 1 only says 256MB graphic card with this comment: "Supported chipsets: NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT or greater; ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (Radeon X800 Pro for Vista) or greater". And we don't even have the Recommended specs yet, so I don't see how people screams "port and it'll be horrible and and run like shiet!!!111!!" from looking at system specs.

i said that i would bank on it being a port. i didnt say that it was i just think its highly likely. and if its a port i think it will blow the game will handle like a console game like every other port. to an avid PC gamer the games playability has alot to do with how much you enjoy it just as much as graphics or story. if the game plays and handles like a console people will be dissapointed. Atleast those who enjoy PC games over console games.

i thought all of crysis was very good, and deffinaltely the best inside an alien ship bit ive yet seen on anything including film,it was sensational and baffling, perfect

QUOTE]

Very true. All the bashers seem to forget this and many other truly great moments, as the huge environment in which we could move. Heck, I was just walking through the jungle and looking at the sunrise, kept the settings very high although with lower framerates. If the story was debatable the visuals are still, in my opinion unmatched to this day, almost 4 years after. Was it the first time we saw destructible elements? Certainly the first time you could see your feet. And somehow I think that this time around you will also need a monster PC to run everything on max settings with good framerates.

Hopefully this one won't turn out like Black Ops. Crytek don't work for Activision do they? :shadedshu

Seems indeed that this engine is faster that the one from Crysis. But is only DX9, so we won't fully know what happens until we have a good DX11 functional version...

comedy indeed it will definately look more like a port thats for certain it IS being ported to all 3 systems at same time due to their very clever development system cryengine3, it is just specially compiled for each system on the fly.
that dosnt mean any of the systems is suffering the shortcomings of the others tho as they say each system is optimized to perform the best it can with the resources it has

so in essence the ps3 xbox and pc will All be ports for def

Story of Crysis 2

This is what im talking about! except im kind of confused. there are human soldiers that are enemies and aliens that are enemies?? The infection at the beginning that eats people alive? is that from the Aliens??

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/114/1149575p1.html

Watching the video makes me even more excited for this game though

EDIT: the multiplayer looks awesome too. that video looks great!

The infection reminds me of Dead Space and the Enemy Aliens and human soldiers remind me of Half Life 2.

Am I wrong for thinking as such?

some one hit wonders have been written on table napkins...

I guess I just expect more with budgets in the millions and a virtual reality. if you can't write a story why not use a book instead? Boardwalk Empire and Dexter are based off books. any best sellers in the Sci-Fi genre?

You are providing far too little information. Go to:

Control Panel-->Administrative Options-->Error Log. Read what it says about the application and post it up.

Disable/uninstall all 3rd party "tuning utilities" and the game might work. The problem is with your system somewhere and when you use these utilities no one could possibly know what it's doing to your computer.
