Several gamers in the world are waiting this title since more than a year, finally after some postponements the Demo is out! (There are several servers and links where you can download it, and sure with several languages supported)

I've played FarCry and I was really impressed about the potential of the CryEngine 1, well there were some bugs and issues and maybe the gameplay was slow, but I think it had great and realistic ambients and I really enjoyed it.
I hope this title won't disappoint me like some of the last FPS I've played.

I'm still downloading it and if I'm lucky I'll play it soon...have fun!
Feel free to add your comments and suggestions and remember to read System Requirements first!!

Think that's gonna be an awesome one (or better said: I hope).
But I will need a new vidcard first, a 128Mb one won't do it. :/
And if I have to try it out with all good stuffies disabled .... naaaaah, won't.

I wonder how well it will run on my pc...

Pentium D 2.66GHZ (Dual-Core)
1gb ram
XFX Geforce 8600GT XXX 256mb

I'm guessing medium settings.

looks quite nice although at the risk of sounding hypocritcal when looking at my recent posts the videos that I saw don't look that different but it is certainly something to look at and ( eventually ) play

Thanks for the info Dave!

Now I have to brake my money-box - 512 MB of RAM is not enough in these days...

Where's the "I played this game back in 1998 with negative low settings when Half-Life came out" option?

Because that's the universal option for the other five gazillion shooters I've played in the past five years.

I might try this out, when I update my drivers, even on my 256 meg card I still imagine its going to lag, but yeah, I really am a bit skeptical about the game, way too much hype for my taste as they are trying to make it out to be, but we shall see I suppose.

I doubt it will on DX9, which I played it on with full settings, but I have no clue how it runs on a Vista machine with DX10, very poorly if you don't have a godly machine I imagine.

Although that's rather stupid, I doubt %90 of the people that buy this game based on the graphics alone are going to be able to play it on the best settings, let alone with DX10 enabled, which voids the main draw of the game to the mainstream crowd.

Yeah the fact that you essentially have to go out and buy a new pc with vista just to enjoy the game at full settings is way overkill. I mean going overboard for one of the flagship titles that you want to show gamers, this is the power of direct x 10 and basically saying to them, except cough cough you have to ya know upgrade to see the full benefits, just won't whitewash with gamers who are already skeptical enough about the game as it is.

Ran the GameSpot System Requirements test, said I needed a 2.2 GHz Core 2 Duo.

Specs:

Intel Core 2 Duo E6320, 1.86 GHz
2x Kingston 1GB RAM
Inno3D GeForce 8500 GT, 512 MB

Darn. That tree is so realistic.
