After an asteroid hits earth, the impacted island chain is sealed off by North Korea. The US responds by sending in a Delta Force team, aiming to discover the secrets locked inside. An alien force then appears from within the meteorite, forcing humans to ally against them.

Crysis is CryTek's follow up to their 2004 hit Far Cry, using a different story line, but crams in every new technology from Volumetric Clouds and Motion Blur to backlit leaves.

The game will be using the next-gen, breathtaking engine - CryEngine 2 - which will probably be the first one to support DirectX 10 and 4.0. Shader Model.

Modders would have to be retarded not to make a mod like Farcry Instinct multiplayer "Hunt" mode. Its where there are 4 players and one is a mutant with super speed and strength. The 3 players have to complete objectives while the mutant hunts them down. I can't imagine how fun that would be on this.

SpecOpsSteve, those specs are more than enough to run Crysis, most likely on high settings, the demo ran just fine on my PC, and it's not nearly as powerful as your gaming rig, here are my specs:

Intel Pentium Dual Core 2.8ghz '
2046MB RAM
ATI Radeon X1300 Series (256MB)

Yes it is SpecOpsSteve although you´ll need Direct X 10 to get the nice graphics that they´ve been showing. You can use DX9 too but it won´t be that sweet. You need Vista to run DX10 but if you google 'direct x 10 xp' you´ll find out that they´ve been working on a DX10 compatible for Windows XP.

if you're going to play Crysis, you might as well see it in all its glory, or not see it at all

I agree, i cant wait to play it. luckily, i have a brother that likes to splurge on hardware for his PC. Saves me having to buy parts for one. Judging by the specifications, his PC should have no problems running a game like this!!!

s your PC ready for Crysis?

Electronic Arts announced the minimum system requirements for Crysis on Tuesday, a standard that is double that of other high-profile PC games.

According to developer Crytek and EA, your gaming rig will need at least a 2.8 GHz single core processor, 1GB RAM, 256MB NVIDIA or ATI graphics chip, and 12GB of hard drive space to even think about playing the game -- something they say computers up to 2-3 years old already have. Recommended system requirements for the game are twice those numbers.

By comparison, the recently released and graphically-praised Bioshock required a slightly slower processor and equal amount of RAM, but half of the graphics memory at only 128MB to run the shooter on minimal settings. Midway's upcoming Unreal Tournament III will require even less technology, yet it still features an impressive amount of eye candy.

The plot has been changed.

( Source: En.wikipedia.org )

Set in 2019, Crysis' plot follows Jake Dunn, a United States Delta Force operative, whose codename is "Nomad". As Crysis begins, an American team of archaeologists is taken captive by the North Korean Army, just as they were making an important discovery in the South China Sea. The United States responds by deploying a team of Delta Force operatives, supported by the USS Ashcroft. Jake Dunn, one of the Delta Force operatives sent by the American government, takes part in the fighting between the United States, and the then superpower North Korea. Soon, though, it becomes apparent that the presumed asteroid on the island is actually an alien vessel. During this phase of the game, the setting will mainly be a tropical environment, similar to that in Far Cry, Crytek's previous game.

Two Delta Force soldiers wearing nanosuits, pictured inside the ice sphere.The meteor opens up, revealing a two-kilometer high alien ship, which begins to xenoform the area around the island, by creating an ice sphere; this affects weather patterns around the planet. Alien machines begin exiting the ship, attacking both the Americans and North Koreans, who decide to join forces to combat the new threat. Jake Dunn wanders into the alien ship,—thinking it to be a mine shaft—and begins to explore the weightless environment, retrieving valuable information about the alien invaders, who periodically attack him. The recoil of weapons combined with the zero-gravity environment propels players back, while shell casings from weapons float nearby.

(End source)

Basically, Instead of an asteroid smashing into earth. The rock is classed as a atrifact. Which is just as well...
