I post this here cos it's quite a claim ;)

I wonder if the PC version will require getting into severe debt to be able to run it :oops:

Apparently part of the Crysis issue was poor coding, especially in DX10. Let's hope they're using more efficient code that will run on most hardware.

I somehow doubt it. It's a multi-format release and clearly console focussed.

I'd nearly put money on it that it'll need to be patched silly - that seems to be the trend these days :(

And it will require constant internet access in order to play.

EA can shove it. Sideways.

If you're willing to spend £300+ on a new graphics card and possible a bit more on a new motherboard and processor.
The constant internet access thing is immensely irritating but is on the rise. IIRC Ubisoft released something recently with similar requirements and C&C 4 also needs constant internet to play, even single player. Even one of the high up at EA doesn't like it.

Which is why I'm saying "goodbye" to PC gaming. I refuse to support such a horrible system that penalises consumers.

That would be fun at our house... The girls have their internet connection restricted to a couple of hours a day. Can you imagine the uproar if they were gamers and their IP was blocked from accessing the internet during the evening? :lol:
