Right I've been playing the demo of this for the past couple of days and I reckon that it is well, very good. It looks amazing and seems very realistic, I hit metal side panels, they bend according to the shape and position of my car which I find a very nice touch. The menu system I also find really nice, though I think its just cos its overkill on all the graphics and things going on in the background. If I can, I'll get a video of it soon lol or better still, buy the full game.

For reference, these are the bear min spec:

- Windows XP
- DirectX 9.0c
- Pentium 4 @ 3.0GHz or Athlon 64 3000+
- 1GB RAM.
- Graphics Card: GeForce 6800 / Radeon X1300 or above
- DirectX Compatible Sound Card

Supported Graphics Cards
----------------------------
Shader Model 3 is a MINIMUM REQUIREMENT for this game.
- ATi Radeon x1300, x1600, x1800, x1900, x1950
- nVidia Geforce 6800, 7100, 7300, 7600, 7800, 7900, 7950, 8800

Bit OTT min specs, I don't like games that do that, means the likelyhood is you can turn the graphics down.

Anyway, to me it just seems like another Colin McRae game, with a few more settings and fancier graphics.

This is the sort of game that eats gaming PCs for breakfast.

Indeed, which I don't like, it should be optional to have pwnage look setting, rather than mandatory.

BTW, that list of cards lacks the x2900, 8500 and 8600.

Yes. Apparantly Crysis will both run and look good on PCs up to three years old.

Possible, but will need to be a high end old PC. It will look and run a LOT better on newer comps.

The developers have also designed it so that it is future proof. There are apparantly features that will not be fully usable to their maximum for around 16 months.

Sounds awesome. Aslong as they make it past and future proof, that's good.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I played dirt demo and it sucked, 6FPS!?!?!?!??! I uploaded vid of it:

It didn't look too jerky, but still, that is rediculous. Did you lower the settings?

that was on low

The lowest possible? That's ridiculous.
