Crysis 3

[PaulH]

Not sure if the system specs have been released to be honest, I'm pretty sure it's DX 11 minimum though. With all Crysis games though you want a pretty decent spec PC to get the most out of it

Srred check your PM...

Guys, Paul is a super nice guy and we should all strive to be as thoughtful and giving as him.

Seriously.

[PaulH]

Haha, I accept cheques as well as compliments Enjoy the Alpha test, feel free to message me with your thoughts!

[Plague]

trailer looks nice, good job!

I actually got my hands on one of the alpha keys, just downloaded the game yesterday.
Will give it a try for sure.

[PaulH]

Better hurry, the alpha testing closes at midnight tonight (GMT)

Wait...DX11 MINIMUM?! Does that mean it's going to require DX11? I mean, my GTS 250 can run the DX11 software, but it can't make use of the hardware benefits since it's...not a DX11 card...

[PaulH]

Erm, not sure to be honest, I'm not that technical when it comes to graphics cards and such...all I know is I was told I'd need DX11 to run the closed alpha test at home. I'd wait for the official system specs before getting worried

Awwww, it would have been fun to test it. Would it be possible to play it after (my internet is really slow)

Played it yesterday, it's a shame my ping sucks since there's no Australian servers, however in the graphics department it was like taking a hit of LSD and going on a jungle rampage.

Sounds like something up my alley.

For anyone who missed the Alpha, try the Beta!

Bleh, no Crysis 3 Beta for me. I will certainly not create an account on Facebook for that.

I mean, seriously, today you have to get 100 login programs (Origin, Steam ...), then you have to log into some website, and then they demand Facebook access too.

Something I won't follow. I seem to be too old for this kind of bullshit (at 25 ... great), but that is just one step too far.
I was rather pissed off by having to create yet another account somewhere for the Max Payne 3 Multiplayer.

I am so psyched for this. According to the beta Nvidia drivers I just got my card is absolutely spot on for maxing out the Crysis 3 beta, and will perform 35% better for it just by using these drivers. Nifty!

Paul, you're an inspiration and it is one of the things that makes Interlopers such a special place that designers who have gotten great industry jobs still stop by.

Edit: Well the gamemodes are definitely fun. At the moment the weapons don't feel particularly punchy, though. I'm not sure if it's a lack of feedback as you're shooting, but I found them fairly dull to use.

Entertaining game, the airplane map is byfar the most beautiful i've ever seen. Amazing maps, and relatively fun gameplay. I can run it on all high and some very high. No AA though..

[Sathor]

Okay, seems like the whole Facebook thing isn't really necessary. Now, I wanted to download the demo, but thanks to German law for the protection of the youth, you can only download between 11 pm and 6 am. Haha. Ok, will have to wait, then.
