    Platform: Windows 98?

    I can just imagine someone getting angry because Crysis won't work on their 98 dinosaur =P

    i didn't know you could run dx9 in win98?

    im suprised that the cut off wasn't win2k? does that mean crysis scales back further than dx9?

    I think there was some mistake made on amazon. I doubt Crysis will run on win98.

    I even doubt there are people who have Win98 with the hardware to run it

    this sounds so wrong in so many ways.

    nonetheless, a game to look forward to. I'll need to wait for my next paycheck to pre-order this.

    Hmm...


    September 11 doesn't seem like a good day to release the game, in my opinion. It also falls on a Tuesday, which is a bit odd (to me). I think September 10 would be better, being a Monday.


    If requirements are released and I can meet them, I might pre-order.

    Well, Since Sep 11 was an international Crysis...Maybe they thought the release date should be on a Crysis date for the Game Crysis...Blahh, tongue twister for me.

    Is Crysis Vista compatible? I do not see it in the list, only goes up to winXP other websites like futureshop.ca don't show Vista in the list either :confused:

    It has to be Vista compatible, it's dx10 and dx10 is only in vista.

    I think they aren't listing as "Vista Compatible" because it might cause confusion with DX10 only games and that would hurt pre-order sales.

    I have to say I think Sept 11 is a piss poor release date.
