Crysis is aptly named...

[A Black Falcon]

You may have got your computer 6 months ago, but that's no real indicator of it's level of power. Still, you had a 8xxx geforce card and an Intel Core 2 plus a couple gigs of RAM right? Seriously I'd expect that machine to be capable of handling this task. The game must be intended for only the absolute top of the line, like Oblivion used to be. I gotta love that Moore's law. Well, sure we hit the roof but there's plenty of room at the bottom.

$1900 computer six months ago, $2000 with shipping. Pentium Core 2 Duo E6600 (2.4Ghz), 2GB RAM, GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB; I know that there are now faster CPUs and graphics cards now, but it's still a quite nice system. The problem is, this computer pushes ANY computer that currently exists to the breaking point, as I said; "requires computers that won't exist for a year for max settings and decent framerates" was not an exaggeration. The question with Crysis is, how low framerates can you accept... (assuming that you have a computer powerful enough to run the thing at all, that is -- the system requirements are high)

Every so often a game comes along which pretty much requires hardware that doesn't exist yet to run well, and this is one of them. I'd say that it's easily the most impressive graphical work of the year... the trees, grass, and foliage is particularly spectacular (and system-hammering), as should probably be expected from Crytek, the makers of Far Cry.

If people could run Crysis with good framerates without an issue "how to tweak Crysis" threads and news stuff wouldn't be as popular as it is... and the game isn't even out yet, this is just the demo.

So I take it the korean enemies (Korea? Wow that's topical... in some decades...) talk about strategy and making it in Korean on hard robs of that eh?

That's all well and good except I wonder if they reversed it in the Korean version . It also gives the multilingual an edge. Incidentally, if they talk from a list of recorded possible statements, it shouldn't be hard to learn what they intend to do anyway.

Hah... no, the North Koreans don't even have the internet, much less Internetspeak. That'd be South Korea. You know, the friendly ones. :) That would have been funny though... they just say stuff about what they are doing, which gives you some hints about how you should respond. Obviously this is easier when they're speaking a language you can understand. :D

Screenshots... look at them, though it's more amazing in motion than still.
