    No real questions here, just a statement I had to make. Just saw some gameplay on IGN and it's incredible, especially the explosions, THOSE really blew me away (pun intended).

    Although watching it I did wonder, when are we going to ever see a laptop fitted with the hardware to run it at those high settings? And more importantly, when are those laptops going to be reasonably priced?

    Yeah, ****, we're gonna need a hell of a laptop with great GFX to play that game.

    It sure look great
    But then, it an outdoor shooting
    I think FEAR look great for an indoor shooting too
    I dont think laptop can play this at high setting, I just hope my lappy can play it at medium setting.
    If you look at their feature, something like every leaves sway a different way. This is pure crazy, did any of you stop and look at the leaves in the middle of a shoot out.
    It more like to impress people with techology and made us upgrade our PC. I like inovative gameplay, good graphic
    Maybe that a reason the new Wii system will beat the PS3
    But that just my opinion

    I loved how the trees were being fallen by the bullets in that fire fight. I mean that game may actually have 100% interactive enviroments. Like if I can find the code for some door and I just get mad, I just pull some uber gun out and blow it to hell. That would be great. But if its not 100% interactive, we'll just have to wait for Half Life 3, because i'll bet my tuition money that that game will be.

    come on guys, its really nothing special if you think about it, apart from those jaw-dropping graphics of course. i saw few videos yesterday, i don't know but it looks like most of those new features like the ability to jump higher and super speed, invincibility stuff are ripped straight from far cry:instincts( xbox version), so i wasn't impressed at all, sure they say there will a lot of interactivity with the maps(hopefully) like trees and buildings catching fire, but i guess we'll just have to wait and see

    I just want to add this: the owners and directors of Crysis are from Turkey (me too :)).

    A great game for sure. And notebooks will sure be able to handle it. A good Santa Rosa with 8800Go will sure play it at medium settings I think. Especially if there are good Vista drivers.

    Same here. As soon as somebody releases a notebook with SLI 8800go's (which is likely still many many months away, sadly), I'm snatching one up, loading Crysis on it and playing it maxed-out in all its near-photorealistic glory. :D
