  No doubt about that. There's no way a hi-end PC would run this. Too much polygons. : anal justice

    I didn't say that, I'm saying that it's a very high poly model. : Snipergen

            I'm not too sure about that either.
            
            Hardware makers (for the PC) haven't slowed down because game developers simply decided to market towards the xbox. Quad cores are common in all the new processor line ups except for the budget line. Hell the new high end ones are 6-core. The new 5x series of Radeons almost doubles the performance of the 4x, which is saying a lot.
            
            I can't say for 100% certainty that what you're saying is wrong, but Crysis was released two years ago and my computer runs it fine now on highest settings (save resolution) and I don't have a Radeon 5x00
            
            That said, Crytek has traditionally always released games that push even current computer technology (even if they don't scale well). I'm sure that applies to this one too. They could've just hoped on the shitty ass console-spit-out-as-many-clones as possible band wagon too to milk the IP dry before changing names.

  Yes. That's obvious. Those are early work-in-progress shots. : vx2o

    Also called 'hype' shots.. They just give a false impression of what the final visuals will be. : pillzer
