Super Nice.... for the people who have cutting edge-graphics capability in their top of the line supercomputers.

The rest of us?

I for one am not in the position to go buy a several-thousand dollar new computer to play a game that sucks my money away in the first place...

Are you?

It's becoming more & more clear who their intended customer base is.

Well, from the screenshots anyway, it looks really really nice.

What's the video about ( I can't get it here at work)? Does it show any Calypso mobs with the new Graffix??

Would anyone be able to guess what the minimum requirements would be for this becuase I don't want to buy a new pc now and find its not good enough

you can still play in okish quality on crappy old hardware, i'm a member on ALOT of crysis forums and belive me its all been discussed before.

Doesn't need vista

. Ii's supposed to look much better with vista though.

Well if the implementation of the engine is done mid 2008 AND the textures and models are completly reworked then EU will change a lot. Crytek2 Engine is one of the best on the market atm. But you will need a good gfx card for sure...

Only speculation at the moment, but the Inquirer is usually on the money with these things. Basically, in a nutshell, Nvidea can implement virtualised memory so MS are pulling that requirement of DX10. with this not part of the spec, theres no technical reason for MS not to release DX10 for XP.

other than that, Vista adoption is very poor and i think they'll be under pressure to back peddle in order to break the chicken/egg cycle: DX10 wont drive vista sales until there are alot of games, and there wont be lots of games until theres wide adoption of Vista.

Ok thanks for that.

FarCry was one of my favourite FPS and I cant believe it came out 3 years ago.

A cautious welcome then for the new engine - looks fantastic.
