This game is going to rule. I wonder if my current gaming rig will be adequate for medium-high settings.

BTW, "Discuss this article" link directs to News Discussion thread, not this topic.

Once again, my sanity is being questioned by co-workers as I sit at my desk grinning from ear to ear over a computer game...

It must be a big compliment to the developers on this game that so many people are quite literally planning their next big computer upgrade based on the releace date of this game...

the one thing i really want to see in this game, is the way the environment reacts as you move or shoot through it. i have waited so long to see something like this in a computer game. This game will be special and I for one cannot *ookin' wait.

:-)

The rig I'm about to build (more info: http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=125247) should be able to play it on high. Nice.

One of the games I'm waiting for.

I'm doing pretty much the same as that. Might steal some of the ideas in fact

This gane redefies what a game is, this hopefully will be the new bench mark in game development

No it doesn't.... It doesn't re-define. It wont be changing the definition. It will just be expanding on the current one. There isn't anything breathtakingly new. There is just innovation on existing ideas. It will be a new benchmark, but only in graphical prowess.

I wonder what hardware was being used in that video. There were definitely some major frame slowdowns, but hopefully it's just an optimization issue that needs to be worked out.

keir · 10th Jan 2007, 21:30

8800 GTX and core 2 duo's apparently

M4RTIN · 10th Jan 2007, 21:36

its just far cry with better graphics tho

. i think maybe im losing the want to play video games any more.. its just your generic walk around shoot things game, but in a forest instead of a multitude of rooms. i dunno, maybe its just me

Dunno if I would say that, jsut because they made Far Cry doesn't mean this will be the same. The whole body suit mechanic in itself makes the gameplay a lot different from Far Cry, and the level of destructibility on the environment and buildings opens up a lot of new oppertunities with which to get things done.

I think it will much more than Far Cry with pretty graphics, but seems like some people jsut need to bash anything with good graphics now.
