Crysis != FarCry 2

If I need Vista to enjoy this game then buddy, I tell you, I'm building a new computer.

Read the preview and watch the video.

Well, since Vista has been delayed a year that gives you plenty of time to save money for the new rig

Well, you're going to need Vista if you want to play it in DirectX 10.

Have you guys read the preview and watched the video? I know about Vista, I'm looking for your thoughts on the game.

The Game looks totally awesome. Every new game that comes out amazes me more (graphically)... I like how they mention it will have no ties with FarCry, as I didn't really like the FarCry plot that much.

Vista was delayed a couple months, not a year.

The game looks very impressive. If I'm not mistaken, it uses the Ageia physics processor as well.

I can't wait...games like this written exclusively for the PC are why PC's are the ultimate gaming platforms.

Knocking down branches?..very cool. Nice that the scenery is now dynamic and you can do some actual damage to things around you.

Is there some place other than Gamespot (which wants 5 bucks a month) to download the trailer?

HOLY COW! That looks absolutely incredible. MY jaw seriously hit the floor. The shadows/lighting around those stairs looked totally real. OMG! I can't freakin' wait!

Not much b/c the original farcry's web addy is farcry-thegame.com so I'm thinking they'll just make something up if it is taken.
