Weak. I should surf this game like a knife on cheese

Thanks Brainer.

 

Can't wait!!!

been a while since I last saw mobile graphics cards being supported in recent games requirements...

 

Maybe they know that a lot of people own laptop nowadays.

 

I wonder what it will take to max it out.. hopefully the 4870x2 will do it and make the game look better than crysis.....

 

that would destroy the game totally trust me

 

this game is gonna be so much better than crysis.

 

does that mean that I'll barely be able to run the game with an 8600GT and a T8300 processor?

 

if they stick with thier recommended requirements, you should have a very great experience running the game

 

it better support SLI and my notebook better be able to run it on a decent setting easily.

 

it will Levenly trust me

 

Lol do you work on the development team brainer?

 

well.. when someone says that the 8600GTS is recommended, then id say in my mind that a 8800GTS is the perfect Solution, and SLI 7950GTX is near that performance.

 

i guess it will work good on my lappy

 

keep in mind that this game will also be released on 360 and ps3!...so propably that's the reason why the system requirements arn't so high..

 

My new desktop should chew through that game quite easily...

 

what the hellz2 hoe come they didnt mention anything about the 8600M??...
its gota run FC2 at least on medium:-(

 

You should see my face when they said the game will be avaliable for Xbox360! But it seems like I'll be able to play it on my notebook too.

 

Actually, I remember watching g4's coverage of E3 and the developers of Farcry were saying they want this game to be more accessible so they gave their team $600 to build a computer and had to make sure Farcry 2 could run smoothly on it.

 

meh I can run crysis med this won't be more demanding that that so i'm good.

 

I don't think i'm getting this game
Celeron D 2.8 ghz (haha i know)
radeon 9250....

 

I run crysis maxed out in 1280x800 on my notebook pretty decent and playable (20-25fps avg). This game wont take as much from your pc, so I should be fine. Too bad we still have to wait til October though.

 

You talking to me? Or someone else?

 

Would a 9700M GTS and P8600 2.40GHz + 4GB of DDR3 RAM be able to play it on max settings (res 1440x900)?

 

That's good to hear.

 

how would my laptop run this game? meh, i still think i'll play it on 360 anyways...

 

Definitely!

 

I'm hoping to play it at 1280x800 high settings.

 

LOL it's got the same system requirements as Crysis, but the recommended specs are significantly lower.

 

It was designed for x360, so naturally it has lower requirements to match the outdated hardware.

 

I was not just designed for the 360...

 

but they plan to sell a lot of copies for x360, so it wouldn't make sense to make a game that would run horribly on x360 or they have user complaints.

 

they also plan to sell lots of copies for PC and PS3. The whole world doesnt revolve around the 360.

 

This should run well on the soon-to-be-mine Acer Aspire 5930G
(9600M GT GDDR3)
This thread has made my day!!!!

 

I don't see what's so exciting about the game. It's like Farcry 1 but you can set forests on fire.

 

I should be able to max it. I was able to max out all on high at 1680x1050 res. 9800 GX2, Q6600 and 4 GB RAM

 

But x360 is lowest common denominator, if the game will be so graphically intense that it won't provide adequate levels of performance on x360, then obviously it is unacceptible.

 

Well look up some videos of the 360 version running. You definitely see framedrops and when turning around it doesn´t look smoothly consistent for my taste also they have stated the PC version looks the best runs the best, though that is nothing new since it is always that way

 

so what exactly is the point if putting mobiles cards on the specs list? does it make a difference?

 

If Mobile cards are supported, then there SHOULD be a performance increase VS not supported. and since the game is quite heavy on Graphics, supporting Mobile cards my point at the game will run great.

 

I didn't realise that Warloque's opinion on the 360 being the LCD of gaming platforms is equivalent to the 10 commandments, last I remembered there were far more PC users on this earth who like playing games as well in comparison to X360 owners. In addition, many of those PC owners have hardware specs which not up to par with the X360. I wonder if the developers will want to ignore this market segment.

 

Usually console versions reduce visibility distance, and change features to make it more playable on a console.

Plus most consoles are run at 480p or 720p. Not higher resolutions of 1280x800, 1440x900, 1680x1050, or 1920x1200.

 

Well the PC version was completed first, since it gives the base they needed for the console versions. The 360 version is a direct port, very little code change (remember that the 360 does use a derivative of Direct X 9.0). The PS3 version uses the same assets just redone to utilize the Cell BE's unique architecture running on OpenGL.

I think the 360 and PS3 versions will look akin to "medium" specs on the PC version unless the PC version was built completely with the consoles in mind in terms of looking directly comparable, in which case this game would be maxed out on an 8600GT w/o the extra AA and AF options turned on. My big hope is that they have a draw distance option so you don't have to suffer with the ****ty draw distance the console versions have. It's barely a mile I from what I've seen. Crysis on PC renders over 10 miles.

 

omg of course the hd4870X2 is faster then the game on it,s highest but you need a core 2 duo at least to support it.

And nothing looks better then crysis it's the stil the highest game possible
