The conflict in "Crysis" begins when an alien spacecraft crashes on a tropical island and starts emitting a strange energy field. Both the United States and North Korea rush to the scene, to discover that the field is expanding, plunging everything within it into sub-zero temperatures. The aliens, it seems, can survive only in the extreme cold, and are trying to make our planet habitable for their species. But before you can stop their plan, you've got to deal with a human enemy.

The challenges that players face in "Crysis" change greatly over the course of the adventure. In the first section, you'll face off against the North Korean military, as the two armies vie to capture the otherworldly technology. But once you enter the alien energy field, you're tasked with entirely new struggles. You can't survive the deadly cold without an advanced survival suit, and you'll square off with an extraterrestrial species that isn't too happy to see you. Fortunately, you'll be able to capture some of their technology, including a freezing ray and a gun that pulls moisture out of the air to create deadly ice shard projectiles.

Wow, very nice graphics. I read about this game in the newest issue of Game Informer.. It's made by people who made FarCry..

Stunning graphic!!!
Not sure about the game requirement

at 1st i tot the girl is zhang ziyi

Dang! I saw a JSF in there. This will put all our current gc to shame..

Seriously I gotta buy a new comp liao, for this such games.... (like elder scroll 4)

My rig is AMD 1800 512RAM (266 mhz) and ati9800XT.... how to play !???!?!?

how about an Angelina Jolie with this DX10 and Ageia PhysX...maybe as Lara in next Tomb Raider....

When i see the demo, i was thinking that its time for me to upgrade my 6600GT to somewhere near 7900GT... GTX "boh lui"...�

I was wondering, can these next new gen console handle something like that?

Ok with all the info from you guys, I thinki better don't upgrade my comp, simply buy another new one...

In a very bold bid to stick it to the consoles, Crysis is gonna be a PC EXCLUSIVE

Yeah, its about time we started getting exclusive next-gen stuff this side of the fence.

the xbox360 GPU is quite close to dx10 spec actually. It's a step ahead of anything else out there at the moment.

(Shameless) Rage3D rip:

Lead game designer Bernd Diemar: "Everything you've seen has been running on DX9 and normal hardware you can get in the shops right now. It's all normal spec and doesn't even use a dual processor or anything like that, we don't have any special graphical hardware inside these boxes. However, with DX10 and a dual core CPU, you're going to see something very special indeed. When we compare Far Cry to Crysis we're talking about two to three levels better in terms of generations, but if you compare DX 9 to DX10 it's at least a generation better, so there's a tangible difference, visually as well as from the intensity."

for one, the second pair of picture, see the shadow

current graphic shadow are generated from one light source if i'm not mistaken. But in real life, lightsource are from everywhere, so even if the shadow comes from the sun being block, light from the sky alone is enough to light up that shadow patch, so it looks much less darker lol

can AGP slot likes 7800gs play dis games at high grafik?

i heard u can cabut a banana tree as weapon, or take any object like stones to throw as disruption, even when u move through the trees, the leaves or grass will sway according to your movement.

crysis still got 1/2 year to go

E3 gameplay video for those who havent seen it.

new vga for graphics

new proc for ai.

yikes~

Haha... Soon, they'll be saying "You need a good CPU for the AI, Multicore will be recommended for multiple opponents. A good Graphics card for the graphics, superiour sound card for the realistic sound, a new physics processor for the physics engine and a 1TB hard disk to install all the stuff in."

Two New Gameplay Videos

Game Trailers have posted two new gameplay videos. The first video shows gameplay in a jungle scene and then shows the player entering the sphere plus a very short snippet of the frozen environment. The second is set entirely in the jungle with a focus on explosions.

If you liked what you've seen so far, you're gonna love this...

Notice the coconut tree still standing after being cut in half? Could see the two halves sheared but balancing nicely before the guy shot it some more to finish it off.

Too bad the colour reproduction of the in-game videos suck so bad... at this stage I'm more interested in the actual in-game texture quality.

I presume this game will be the biggest CONSUMER game ever at 10+GB. With a texture-plenty game like this that shouldn't use compression (I mean, there's 50% of closeups!) and falling RAM prices these days...
If they use procedural synthesis to generate textures it's hard to estimate a Q4 '06 or even Q1 '07 launch.

(BTW the size is exceeding Myst IV, which I thought was quite awsome despite it's FMV. And rendered in 3DS MAX.)

I doubt this game will be on X360. The highest they've reached to is Prey that is going gold (Quake 4 engine) and Gears of War (Unreal 3) that comes Q4 '06, and is heavily optimized by the codemasters at Epic.
I expect UE3.5K to be the common middleware for 2007/8 FPSes, which might still not shine compared to Crysis.

So x360 should be able to handle whatever crysis can throw at it.

I don't know because, even Oblivion lags on xbox360. So im guessing that if Crysis were to run on xbox360, it has to be a toned-down version. Either that or oblivion is a poorly optimized game

not really. graw lags like hell on pc but on xbox 360, it smooth.

I find it rather silly for one to compare a pc with the xbox360. PC and the xbox360 has it's own pros and cons. xbox360's lifespan can last for about 3 more years as it is a console but a PC? PC's hardware can only last months and u'll need to spend and spend and spend to fully enjoy the benefits but for a console, u dun have too

Well, the fact that I likes using the mouse to control my First Person Shooter and real time military strategy games immediately defeats all advantage a console can brings.

Though, I'm looking for a good controller (where's that xbox controller microsoft promised) to play my NFS series...

U see, both platform have its on genre of game that runs better on it. I cant imagine playing c&c generals on x360. And trying to control a F1 Ferrari on a keyboard is a nightmare..... There isn't much point in trying to compare technology and cost. There's no one platform that is good for all...
