Tasty demo movie here.

...the sound of a thousand ATI/Nvidia stockholders crying out as tens of thousands of gamers hold off on upgrading to a 7900GTX or X1900XT until DX10 cards are released.

Direct X X ?

The screenshots were removed a while ago.

TeamXBOX and others are reporting that this will be an X360 game as well. The demo looks hot.

"Direct X X"

:D

I think you're the first person (that I've read) to have noticed that. Hehe.

yeah, if i had a desktop pc instead of a laptop i would def wait until july or something when DX10 cards will supposedly arrive..

hopefully i'll still be able to play it ok with my acer 8202 with ati x1600 256mb gddr3 and intel core duo t2300 + 2gb ram.

:D



this game looks HAWT!!1

HOW about OpenGL????? Some people don't have PCs y'know.

That's so funny: Right when I held this magazine in my hands this sunday I thought about scanning it, in order to spread it online, but I didn't get around to do it. Now it's here.

The graphics look really impressive, just like that CG face you had a while ago after which you asked how long it will take for games to look like this. That face on the fourth page looks just like a photo. The quality of this face is so high, that I can't tell you where there are differences. There are only very minor issues left. But the actual screenshots look more like a game, and less like real life.

The final comment of the guy who previewed it (Fabian Siegismund):
"Who says, that ego-shooters can only improve graphically? Definitely not Crytek. Finally the protagonists remember, that I just launched a rocket at them 10 minutes ago, and finally there are more interesting weapons than the same old machineguns. Ha! I bet you wouldn't have thought that I write about something else than the graphics, huh? Alright, because it's you: Oh My God, Crysis looks fantastic!"
