September 25th.. What will you do Halo 3 or Crysis Demo?

[mwaarna]

Personally I will be playing the Crysis demo thru and then I will move onto Halo 3.

Everything i have seen for the crysis game, makes me want it more and more...

I will be upgrading my pc in november to co-incide with the release of Crysis.

What will you do september 25th?

Halo 3

[Shizelbs]

Halo 3 all day long.

Even if my computer could handle Crysis, it would still be Halo 3.

[engtaz]

Halo 3

[Ricardo]

None? :p

[Face]

Since I'll probably complete Bioshock twice by that point, Halo 3 for me.

[BIZILL]

halo 3. but i want to get call of duty 4.

[fatchowmein]

Halo 3. Hope it's better than 2. H2 bored me.

[mutelight]

Halo 3 until I can no longer keep my eyes open.

[Shizelbs]

I have most of the day off on the 25th also. Probably going to play until it gets light outside, then go to bed, try to get thru work on a few hours of sleep. Its going to be awesome.

Crysis. Getting the parts for my computer Wednesday and should have it running perfectly by then. Also, no 360 :)

yeah, but are you hardcore enough to camp out until it becomes available?

[Demiurge]

Probably neither, unless Halo 3 proves to be more than the same repetative yawn fest the series has been so far.

[jakelm]

The Force Unleashed!!!


oh..sorry,,,H3

[fireshoes]

I'll probably watch Knocked Up. :)

[impronto]

I wonder what the specs will be to run Crysis?

I just bought a new computer with a Q6600 processor along with an nVidia 8800 GTS card..

I hope to be able to play it..

Hopefully, otherwise I can't either :).

Here ya go:

Here is a list of confirmed information...

* Crysis will run on both DX9 & DX10 as well as Windows XP and Windows Vista.
* A graphics card that supports Shader Model 2 or higher is required.
* CryEngine2 is estimated to scale back 2 years, and scale ahead 1.5 years.
* A single 7800GTX will run the game quite well on fairly high settings according to Crysis Art Director, Michael Khaimzon.
* Jack Mamais of Crytek said in an exclusive Crysis-Online interview that his X1900XT runs the game very well at reasonably high settings ( still unoptmized ).
* Crysis will dynamically utilize all processing threads available. Meaning quad-core processors will be supported.

The following specs are estimates made by myself based on the above mentioned information and other sources. These estimates are NOT official - but are based on official information.

Minimum Requirements
CPU: Athlon 64 3000+/Intel 2.8ghz
Graphics: Nvidia 6600 or ATI X1600 - Shader Model 2.0
RAM: 1GB
HDD: 6GB
Internet: 256k+
Optical Drive: DVD
Software: DX9 with Windows XP / Vista


Recommended Requirements
CPU: Dual-Core CPU (Athlon X2 / Pentium D / Core 2 Duo)
Graphics: Nvidia 7800 or ATI X1800 (SM 3.0)
RAM: 1.5GB+
HDD: 6GB
Internet: 512k+ (128k+ upstream)
Optical Drive: DVD
Software: DX9 with Windows XP / Vista

I think we will be fine.

sweet..it will utilize quad cores...:D

[mwaarna]

This will start a flame war...

Halo 3 is over hyped and Crysis will be better.

All the footage from Halo 3 look just like a barely polished Halo 2, with a few more guns and vehicles.

Nothing ground breaking or new like bioshock, no new style of play like Gears of War, rehash of Parts 1 and 2.

I do have a 360 and I will be getting halo 3.

Let the bitching begin :-)

COOL and only pocket change. Dang

[bdaley6509]

I'll do both.

[AsSiMiLaTeD]

Crysis for me. I've been looking forward to that one for quite some time now...

I'm sure Halo 3 will be good and I own a 360 so will pick it up probably, but Crysis is going to be awesome!!

Plus Bioshock seemed to set the bar pretty high for 360 games...

[mwaarna]

reviews look excellent for Halo 3.

This topic is now done for discussion because the Crysis demo has been pushed back a month:

I will be playing the World In Conflict demo. right now I'm number 99 on the leader board. Last time I checked their is some where around 25,000 players, Just last week I was at #2056. I think I'm starting to really under stand the ins and outs of the game pretty good, now if I could only afford a retail copy I'd be set. Oh yeah, and I'll probably check out the Crysis demo when it comes out halo 2 killed it for me

[lightman1]

Bioshock is amazing. Pick up my Halo 3 at midnight. No sleep tonight!

[kuntasensei]

Like every gaming website is reporting scratches on the Limited Edition Halo 3 discs because they come loose in the case and slide around. Naturally, that's the one I pre-ordered.

Guess I'll find out tomorrow morning at 10:00... 'cause I'm not fighting 150 kids just to get it at midnight.
