didn't expect underwater coral!

I sure hope this makes it to market. Not that I've heard or read anything to suggest otherwise...but it would be just as bad as DNF if something tanked this...

[o_mescalito]

insane.

[o_osiris]

My pants are moist in both anticipation, and fear of the impending impact on my wallet.

No doubt...but my current machine was first put together 3 years ago...my next upgrade has been put off due to something like this and Vista on the horizon...why buy parts I'll have to replace in 6 months?

[o_psycnet]

Flipping phenomenal.

On a point of note, is there anyone who wants to buy a used 7950 GX2 in a few months ;)

My general rule is 70% of the selling price at the time of purchase, so whatever it costs when the g80 cards premiere is what ill charge, minus 30%

[o_backstaber]

Absolutely astounding! It's unfortunate that I will not have the resources to play such a game.

I just got done changing my underwear but it kept going so I need to go clean up my floor and change again. Seriously, that's just an ungodly level of holy shit. I've already got about $500 saved up so I plan to make myself an amazing next gen rig sometime in 07 or 08.

You'd better sell a bunch more of your fluids...you're going to need more than 500.00! :lol:

[o_dancingfool]

That's why I said in 07 or 08.

[o_|404|innoc-tpf-]

07 is 59 days away!

[o_dancingfool]

...or 08 :cry:

Just don't get first-gen graphics cards of a new DX, they tend to be shitty/buggy :$ (see GeforceFX).

This might be true in specific cases, but in the case of the GeforceFX launch, there was a perfectly viable alternative from Ati that was "first-gen" in the 9500/9600/9700 series.

Nvidia can't afford another mistake like the FX, it cost them a huge amount of market share to Ati and since then they have been more or less on the ball with the 6xxx and 7xxx chips.

I don't think we'll see anything less than breathtaking performance from the new dx10 chipsets from Nvidia and Ati. The real question will be if these new cards are worth the higher price point they will be introduced at. I'm waiting to see dx9 and older performance #s before deciding whether or not to buy.

[o_dancingfool]

Does anyone know the average payout for a visit to the spermbank?

[o_kam]

It has good graphics so the game must be good.

[o_dancingfool]

Oh not this argument again.

yeah but the gfx are awesome, easily 1 of the prettiest upcoming games of 2007.

but it's more about the how well the engine handles DETAILED, LARGE, DENSE, DESTRUCTIBLE, OUTDOOR, environments that are also VERY INTERACTIVE like plants/vegetation moving and shit when you brush up against em etc.

[o_sidd42]

Ok, so of 2 of these are real life photos, and 2 are from Crysis ingame.
Guessig time!

[o_zydell]

right! But those images have been resized; they dont look so realitic full-sized.

[o_turbowolf]

I bet this lowers your FPS to 0.1, there's a big difference between playing sourced games with HDR and without HDR

[o_sizeablessonic]

Hot fucking hotdogs!

Let's play the guessing game: How muich will a rig that can play this cost?

My guess is about $5000

[o_cruor]

Ouch my computer hurts... Man that is rediculesly gorgeous.. and like someone else mentioned I'm more interested in the potential of this engine than the actual game (techdemo), crysis will no doubt be a great mindless shooting fest of alien gore but I doubt it will amount to much else than demoing this engine.

And unless that last guy holding that massive minigun is an android then lol... welcome to the twilight zone.

I've also been holding up my new comp. for the next gen stuff. This one dates back 3 or so-ish years same as Innoc's.

[o_nezumi]

It has good enough graphics to be worth the price of admission.

I fixed that typo you had there...

Plus Farcry was fun enough even besides it's stunning graphics to be worth it's price. Nothing revolutionary but entertaining. Crysis sounds like it's going to be even more fun and unlike Farcry it looks like it'll actually have multiplayer*.




*Shut up, I know.

[Decs]

I think farcry was pretty damn awesome..
The big jungle maps made it an awesome game for folks who like to pretend that they are sneaking around :P

[Circuitous]

The grass in the bottom-right shot makes me sad.

[o_tu!]

that grass is from a very old pic.

[o_loader]

Farcry -> Great visuals, but god what shit gameplay...

Overall - Shit game

[o_leandros]

***WARNING!*** Benchmarks from 8800GTX released! (http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=4812)***WARNING!***

[o_|404|innoc-tpf-]

[o_psycnet]
