Yet it still requires quite a bit of horsepower to run well on the PC.

Ha, i use to have dual R6950's as well and upgraded (or sidestepped) to a 670. Similar performance, no microstutter.
That is only due to the graphics effects. The actual baseline of the levels in terms of physics, AI and number of enemies is still is at a lower target than Crysis 1 was.
Exactly why I ditched them when the 670 came out. BF3 used to hurt my eyes.
Are you certain about that? Physics, yes, but the AI in Crysis was nothing special nor were enemies encountered in huge numbers.
It also implies that 2 was shit, that's the meta joke.
I thought it was because of the whole body mix-up/confusion with Alcatraz and Prophet?
The AI may not have been anything special, but at least it worked unlike in Crysis 2 where it was literally the most broken AI I've seen in a while.
The enemy count was also very high in some levels. Some of the levels had over 50 enemies going after you at once, like the last part of the Relic level. It still brings down my FPS due to the sheer amount of stuff being fired at you.
I think it's both.
Oh you mean the guys being able to spot you from 2km away while hiding in a bush?

Why'd you have to go and bring back bad memories, man?
Whats Your config? Even Low setting will look better than 360 version.

So what's the earliest we can VPN unlock this game?
Yep, and it runs decently well. I got around 45-50fps with everything on low and textures on high in the multiplayer beta, and my computer is pretty weak (Q6700, 3GB RAM, HD6770).
And it'll run better when he gets another PC, and he won't have to pull out an Xbox 360 to play it past this fall if he gets a new console, etc. Many more positives with going PC, even if you have to play on Low.
People just get upset because of the ambition of the first game, and the streamlining of the series into a more formulaic shooter by comparison. You have to wonder, had Crytek kept Crysis 2 and 3 exclusive to the PC, just how much bigger and better-looking might the games have been? We could possibly have the only games to fully utilize all of the power a GTX 680 has available. On the other hand, I doubt they would've bothered with learning optimization like they had to in order to work with the consoles, so it's a little bit of a double-edged sword.

I don't own any of the games but would be interested in the Digital Deluxe edition on Origin. Though of course EU prices are thrown in my face (I don't live anywhere near the EU). Anyone ever used spotflux/other VPN to purchase from Origin?
Of course you are going to do the VPN thing like the rest of us
Yes since waiting is not for me

where's the best PC DD deal I can get for this. I want to pre-order. It seems GMG is the only good one I can find, and that's only a $10 credit towards the next purchase.....
Nah, I loved it back in 2007, I loved it as I replayed through it 6 times over the next 2 years and I still loved it when I replayed through it 2 months ago.

Easiest transition between titles(Crysis 2 to Crysis 3) multiplayer-wise. I was able to jump right into the beta and wreck shop; the mechanics and gameplay are nearly identical. I'm leaning more toward that being a good thing.
*This is where I'm supposed to bash Crysis 2 and over-romanticize Crysis*
Hey guys! Remember how you could run around in the Jungle in Crysis!? Man Crytek ruined Crysis 2 by making it so linear. Running through the Jungle was amazing. I just ran and ran and took in the landscape. Those side missions were amazing and I could run through the jungle to get to them. There were trees and leaves and streams and rocks. Those were the days right? It was more like a vacation then a game right! Running through the jungle... oh man... amazing.

I've just checked and you can preload it now.
I bought it on Origin. You get Crysis 1 and 2. Also all the dlc packs are included.
I thought you just get Crysis 1 with the $59 "Digital Deluxe". I'll probably just go with Origin as I haven't bought a lot on GMG lately anyway.
Console discs have 100% of needed files on them, and therefore, when their ISO leaks, everyone with hacked console can start playing immediately.
PC preaload can off course be downloaded from torrent sites from the moment Origin opened the gates, but the EXE file will come out on release date.
Correct for day zero piracy, no for overall piracy.
Well, at least pool of cracked consoles is not growing. You cant buy new ps3 console now and hack it, as for x360 im not sure. Some models can, some cant.

So if I buy a US cd key, will it work for me since I live in Europe? Saves me money and get the game early, if it works

PS3 footage. The grass looks amazing and seems to hold up performance wise.
By console standards, that does not look too bad. That looks subhd though, the IQ is terrible.
