Im still more excited about Bioshock, but really this is in my top 5 for the next year...

Bioshock
Crysis
Quakewars
Halflife2, episode 2
portal


No particular order.

Wasnt too interested until the end of the second clip....holy crap!

I am very seriously doing homework to get a computer that can/will run windows Vista AND has directx10 capable hardware. i dont think i will live out the next year if i dont...

Me too, but since moving to a new place I've got so many other things I need to get. I'll probably wait till late summer before up dating my Pc.

I will probably have to wait to, but i am dying. i had to wait over a year to play halflife when it came out because my pc at the time couldnt handle it. i dont want to have to deal with that ever again.

Looks pretty and all...but really, could they not have made a game that didn't look like just another far cry? A different style or setting would be good...

Crysis Single Player Demo
 

The Crysis single player demo is now available from a mirror near you.

Who has tried it? What are your thoughts?

Downloaded it this morning. It is about 1.8 gigs so a decent size download.

I haven't played very much, but already it looks amazing. A considerable improvement from Far Cry, which when it was released was amazing in its own right.

The graphics look great, especially the island in the daytime. Items in the environment (for example, trees) can be destroyed, so your own or enemy fire may cut down parts of the landscape, destroying cover.

Gameplay seems good, although I haven't gone very far. The enemy hides/uses cover. Can't really comment on how good the AI is due to the limited time I have spent with it.

Needless to say, this is all quite system-intensive. I have Vista, an E6600 overclocked to 3.2ghz, 2gb of 800mhz RAM, an 8800GTX, and lots of drive space, and I can run the graphics on "very high" for everything, but without AA. If I turn on AA, I get noticeable drops in FPS when there are enemies around, to the point where things get very jerky.

Without AA, it still looks amazing!

I recommend giving this one a go, but unless you have a reasonably high-end system, be prepared to turn the details way down.

PC is nowhere near good enough for it...gonna have to pick up that ps3 soon, I'll see if it comes out on that.
Looking foward to playing another massive story driven free-roam sci-fi/action FPS.

I have gone through the demo.

Looks very promising.

The enemy AI seemed a little odd at times - I shot at the enemy and then crouched behind some vegetation, but in the same position, and when I got up they were facing/firing in the opposite direction.

At other times, however, the AI was quite good, for example the enemy throwing grenades in my general direction when hiding.

Can't wait to get the full version.
