What do you think will be the system requirements for Crysis 2?

I have a father. When i were younger, he hammered into my head hat i should only use money when necessary. I guess it helps with his words when i'm saving money. He hated me if i unnecessary used money.

Really is pretty much common sense.

I don't use money unnecessary... I buy things like food and clothes, and sometimes new games. Anyway, I get money only for the first two things, dad said that for everything else "Get them yourself, money doesn't grow on trees!". Anyway, girlfriends are expensive in many ways. Luckily, I have a girlfriend that is happy with little, so I don't use too much money on her.

That my friend, is a fact.

You need atleast a DirectX 10 compatible card. Oh man, i doing some jobs here and there by fixing peoples computers and such, I'm 1/4 ways on getting enough money for a new computer with Quad-Core and ATI 5770 1gb etc. Can't wait!

How do you know that? Do you know the system requirements? Do you work on Crytek?

You just take a look at the previsous game and analyze the possible game improvements.

Minimum would be like
Dual core CPU most likely @ 2.0ghz
2Gig ram
etc etc.

You're right  but is directx10 a minimum requirement? Come on... Like crysis1, it should have the same support. Although the graphics will be better, it should  have dx9 support as an option. This is what i think. Do you agree with me?

_{Yes dx 10 as min Obviously.. it doesn't take a genius to figure that out. i was just previously giving an example}

There's just one way to find out: wait for its release. Anyway, thank you for ur opinion . Dx9, dx10, dx11, quad core...  Let me know what do you people think!

More than half of the PC gamers are using Windows XP which doesn't support DX higher than 9.0c. If they want full support for ALL OS, they have to require DX 9.0c. Besides, the fact that DX10 would be better than DX 9.0c is just a big swindle, it isn't true. If you don't believe me, do some research on your own.

[jaudain]

_{and dx 11 would probably be reccomended spec}

jaudain, F*** dude, I've been yelling for the past 5 minutes that DX 10 isn't better than DX9, that most PC gamers are using Windows XP which doesn't support DX 10 and you still keep it up with that DX 10 and now you come up with the DX 11 nonsense? DAMN! I've just lost 10 minutes of my life and over 5 neurons trying to explain that having DX10 as minimum requirement is impossible!
I'm sorry, but I'm really pissed off right now.

By the way, here's some research I did for those that don't believe me below:
"The launch strategies for Windows Vista and Windows 7 were both accompanied with an immense marketing push by Microsoft for DirectX, in which they showed 'before' and 'after' screenshots of the different DirectX versions. Many gamers now think that switching from DirectX 9 to DirectX 10 magically transforms graphics from stupidly dark to normal (as in the comparison above), or from Halo 1 to Crysis. Game journalists proved that there was no difference between Crysis DX9 and DX10, and that its "DX10" features worked fine with DX9 by tweaking a config file. However, despite its obvious inaccuracy, the marketing has convinced many gamers that DirectX updates are the only way to access the latest graphics features."

<sub>Krunch, what do you take me for..? some computer illiterate idiot? how dumb are you? lol DX 10 is better than 9, with 10 quality and preformace is improved, take A look at the comparisons http://www.winmatrix.com/forums/index.php?/topic/9550-directx-9-0-vs-directx-10/, [As long has you're rig can handle it of course] I was just guessing about it being a minimum, however xp will eventually be out of the window, sure its a great OS i even use it on my laptop, but the reality is with the new technology, and because dx10 isnt supported for xp, xp will become old news and dx10 will inevitably become a minimum rec for demanding games.

For example "Shatter Horizon" The engine and game play is so complexed, my computer even struggled to play it with dx 10, [Which is its min req] So i did a lil research and it seems it will be dx9 and a minimum, i suppose Crysis 2 isn't going to be as demanding as that [Garuteed]

P.S: Stop getting you're knickers in a twist</sub>

Well, do you really want me to answer that?
DX10 is crap, as well as DX9 and DX11, it's too bad OpenGL got forgotten so fast, just like 1997... The truth is that you don't want to think outside the box. If you can't distinguish real from fake then my explanations are for nothing. Just look at those pictures you linked. You should know that no matter what you use, models can't get a higher quality if you run them with different software. It's pretty dumb to believe that, really. It's not like the software anticipates what the creators wanted the model to look at a higher quality and just render it.
That's what most people do, they think that if it's newer it's better. Bull****. As much as DX11 can perform now, OpenGL could perform years ago. Even though it's not about OpenGL, DirectX will always try to knock on first, by using FUD(fear, uncertainty, and doubt) and also it's intelligent marketing campaign, which makes many gamers(like you) that the newer the DirectX version, the better the graphics. It's really sad...

No offense, but i'm starting to believe your mad because of Crysis 2 will PROBABLY require DirectX 10/11, and your rig ma not handle it.

Dude... I didn't even play Crysis, and I don't quite intend on playing Crysis 2... I asked myself about a dozen times "Why the hell am I viewing this thread?". I guess I just like to debate on something.
