I emailed Crytek and got zero response to a simple question we all want to know.
What is it going to take to run Crysis 2. Apparently we are all ddb and will scarf up anything Crytek or any other company throws at us. Crytek spouts off about us being loyal fans yet they could care less about answering one simple question.

It's the same as Crysis, wipe your tears away.

Hmmm. your best bet would be to just wait till release day and see what other peoples experience is.

This game is able to run on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. The original Crysis is not possible on those systems (without making major changes, as shown with Crysis 2). Therefore, basic deduction leads to belief that Crysis 2 will have lower system requirements than the original. The only exceptions I can think of are if Crytek poorly optimizes the PC version and/or the game uses more CPU cores since the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 have multiple cores (three for Xbox 360 with two threads each, the Playstation has one general purpose core with two threads as well as, I think seven SPEs).

simple if you can run crysis 1 you'll can run crysis 2...that is all that you need to know...

Usually a few weeks before launch specs come out!!

It's a strategy gaming companies use. They don't post system specs until release date to build up hype without the fans being concerned about their rigs. Then when the big day comes and orders arrive, that's when they get the big kick in the face when they find themselves running at 15fps. After all, everyone does it... right?

i think crytek (and any other company) should be obligated to release the specs needed to run the game if they want to sell pre-orders or else ppl will be possibly buying a game that they wont be able to run

The general specs will be similar to Crysis in terms of machine demand/performance. As a rough guideline, if you can run Crysis, you should be able to run Crysis 2.

I thought the whole point of the cryengine 3 is that is is much less demanding than the cryengine 2 (hence crysis 2 being released on consoles) but with the same if not better visuals

All great things will come in time. Even the specs for the Pc version of Crysis 2.

Yep, the minute someone buys it, and posts benchmarks on YouTube.

Well, we've not got long left. I'd expect an announcement on the system requirements around Feb 15 towards the release date being the latest.

I don't know about most games, but getting the system requirements right now would be still too early. February would be my best bet, as media coverage of Crysis 2 should on a all-high.

If it doesn't come by just yet, don't worry about it, all in due time.

xD

Since they're probably still optimizing, I wouldn't be surprised if the minimum system specs change quite a lot.

LMAO, that made my day!

Post of the year, so far.

It should also be able to do the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs

As Adam said, the system requirements will be given closer to the release date. If we released the wrong information, all hell would break loose. We do our best to give you information as soon as we have it. Quite simply, we don't have a confirmed spec ready to go as of yet. It isn't going to hurt a couple of extra weeks, if anything, hardware will be cheaper as time goes on.

We have stated numerous times that the CryEngine 3 is vastly superior to its predecessor, the CryEngine 2. However, with Crysis 2 we have pushed the engine to its limits, so you will get more 'bang for your buck' so to speak, we have further optimized the engine to run at maximum quality whilst still offering a new and advanced look and feel to the game. Everything in Crysis 2 has been stepped up considerably, you will not be dissapointed.

da ti veruemo

Indeed, according to people who have seen the two versions (360 and PC) side by side it looks like the difference between a ps2 game and a ps3 game. If crytek have pushed crysis 2 to look considerably better than crysis 1 and run about the same on your hardware, it is only a good thing

As much as it's very easy to jump on the 'train o' despair' as a fan of the original, you must remember that this is crytek. if all else fails horribly, it'll still be one hell of a pretty game :p

Made my week, best post of the year so far. You forgot wha type of processor we will need. xD

NM yes you did.
