Crysis, the long awaited first person shooter from the makers of Far Cry, finally has a release date: November 16, 2007.
Hopefully, it won't get delayed again, as it already has been delayed two times. :/ The graphics in this game just get more and more impressive. You can check out the Crysis E3 2007 trailer that came out last month here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5_JTsPM73o
(On a side note, Far Cry 2 has been announced by Ubi Soft. However, since Crytek (developers of the original Far Cry) is not developing FC2 and the Far Cry derivatives (developed by UBI Soft) for Wii and XBox sucked, I don't expect much out of FC2. I consider Crysis to be the true 'spritual' sequel to the original Far Cry.)
PC killer gaming app "Crysis" to ship November 16, 2007
Console gamers will have many, many amazing games to play this holiday season, but PC gamers will have an exclusive title to make the console crowd jealous. This game, of course, is Crysis – a title that has already wowed anyone who has seen video of screenshots of the gorgeous graphics.
Publisher Electronic Arts and developer Crytek have announced that Crysis will be hitting retail stores in North America and Europe on November 16, 2007.
“Crytek is constantly striving to push the boundaries of both game design and technology, while maintaining quality at the highest bar,” said Cevat Yerli, CEO and President of Crytek. “We’re thankful to our fans for their support and patience, and we’re excited to bring them Crysis this year. It’s going to be worth the wait.”
Official system requirements and recommended specs have yet to be announced, but it is estimated that the lowest-spec PC that will run Crysis will consist of:
CPU: Athlon 64 3000+/Intel 2.8ghz
Graphics: Nvidia 6600/X800GTO (SM 2.0)
RAM: 768Mb/1Gb on Windows Vista
HDD: 6GB
Internet: 256k+
Optical Drive: DVD
Software: DX9.0c with Windows XP
With the recommended system expected to be:
CPU: Dual-core CPU (Athlon X2/Pentium D)
Graphics: Nvidia 7800GTX/ATI X1800XT (SM 3.0) or DX10 equivalent
RAM: 1.5Gb
HDD: 6GB
Internet: 512k+ (128k+ upstream)
Optical Drive: DVD
Software: DX10 with Windows Vista
Although Crysis won’t be the first game to carry with it DirectX 10 visuals, it could be the killer app to entice gamers to make the jump to Windows Vista. Unlike the other DirectX 10 titles Halo 2 and Shadowrun, Crysis will also run with DirectX 9 on Windows XP.
