I realllllly want this, for one reason, the (apparent) optimisation.
Does anyone know if they are going to put the new "optimisation patch" into the original crysis?

Sounds like it is a positive step forward from the first game.....which I really enjoyed.

I can't wait till Warhead. Apparently, since Psycho is such an..."enigmatic" character, there's going to be lots more destruction than the first game. Likewise, with the addition of new weapons and a better running engine, this game is going to rock.

I read they are putting the optimization patch into crysis.  But they said it'll be a while.

The original set a great benchmark for graphics and physics on a game engine; even without the various enjoyable nanosuit dynamics, it would be one of the best games of last year for that reason.

I'm not certain I'll spend money on Warhead.  The environment is likely to be exactly the same, visually, and I can't help but feel ripped off on those terms.  However, I know that the game will be fun, as it is one of the few times I've played something where I felt genuinely stealthy, like a real prowling assassin.  As the original post implies, too, the ability to alter your mission style according to your situation and personality is one of the key aspects of this franchise.  This looks promising, to be sure.

I'm only interested in this game to see how far the engine can be optimized.  If you can get Crysis graphics to work on high on a relatively powerful machine, developers might flock to this instead of the UE3 engine.

I didn't rate the first one. It didn't seemed a bit average. Certainly the graphics were above average, the rest left a lot to be desired for me. It's nice that they've super optimized the engine now, it should be put to good use.

Surprised none of you guys have shown us Crysis pictures, usually when  I enter a Crysis thread I except to see me some piccys

I'm really hyped for it and I just hope that people won't pirate the hell out of it

It looks awesome!

It looks really cool and more action driven than the original, so it should be fun.

I'm just looking forward to the cry engine 2 being better optimized.

shouldn't this go in the crysis warhead forum?

game looks cool

It looks fantastic

It looks great, but I think FarCry2 will own it. Best graphics from e3 was voted GoW2 even!! (by ign)

this game will so rock when it comes out.... i cant remember but is this a stand alone game? or an expansion? i remember the crytek guys being interviewed and mentioned that it was originally an expansion but it took a life on its own but never clearly stated if it was a standalone game or not....
Main thing im looking forward to for this game, is the system requirements, as they've aparently done some "serious" optimization and can max the game out pretty much on a 600 buck machine, and from what was shown at E3, it looked every bit as good as crysis graphicly...... which will be absolutely awsome!

It's stand alone, but story-wise kind of an expansion since it supposedly takes place during the first one. As long as the AI is improved I'll be happy. Though hopefully there won't be a level spent in a VTOL.

maybe they were not counting expansion packs

I'm pretty excited for it since there seems to be more explosion and firepower, which is exactly what I loved about the first one. I just hope that its as optimized as they say it is, and I hope that I can max it out, or play it on high with 30+ FPS on my 9600GT.

7 Minute Gameplay :

It looks and play's awesome, more explosions and intense scenes. I hope it's as optimized as they say it is

I`m looking forward to it. This crysis demo ran like crap on my 8800GT, at 1280x1024, so I did not end up getting it. Hopefully they can give us a constant 35-45 FPS for Warhead. Crytek has said it got some serious optimizing.

And $30 for game, does not hurt.

It looks more of the same from Crysis. But more of the same means it's going to be awesome! 

If it runs much better than the first Crysis. Then Crytek could have a massive hit on their hands.

I am glad that they realised the mistake that they made by not optimizing the first game.

Okay, I think a lot of you people are mistaken when you say the game needs "better optmized".

The game is really well optimized.   The whole reason the first game garnered so much attention is because the amount of polygon mapping and shading going on at one time is far beyond anything else on the market.  There is way more going on in terms of calculations then 3DMark Vantage, and yet it has to respond to physics and be completely destructible at the same time, which is insane.

You can accuse Crysis of being too ambitious that it cut off sales, or that the point of entry is too high, but saying it's poorly optimized is quite frankly false.  I guarantee you that if Warhead runs better, it won't be because it's better optimized as much as they will try to make the game less graphically intensive in ways most people won't notice.

I think people just say that because you would think an 8800 would acutally be able to run it at somewhat high settings. When people are buying these 8800 GTX, GT`s whatever they kinda expect the game not be be at 10 fps when something happens on screen.

This should be in the Crysis Warhead forum.
