Crysis Screenshots
It's going to be a bit before I've gone through all of the Electronic Arts E3 media, but I couldn't wait to share the latest Crysis screenshots. There are two galleries, one here and another here. Be sure to keep checking the E3 page, which is updated as new media is added.

They are if you have to upgrade everything like I do--mobo, RAM, fan, power supply for the high-end card, the high end card, the new case to fit the bigger form factor. That adds up to far more than a console no matter how much you price shop. And depending on how many games you plan to play, it may or my not be worth it.

a true gamer would play a game regardless of good framerate or playing on high detail settings. I feel PC games are becoming jaded due to this arms race between games with pretty graphics and expensive hardware needed to play it. When I see comments like this: "So in the latest video it seemed like they got rid of their radiosity stuff. No Ambient Oclusion or something. Anyone else notice the lighting got changed suddenly?", i can't help but think are people more interested in actual gaming or are they interested in the technology being used in games. Anyways, I personally would like to see the industry start heading in a direction of making simple, fun games. Give me an FPS where i have cool guns, simple AI, and a generic backstory.

I played through HL2 on the lowest settings using Intel onboard graphics. The flashlight only worked on objects with physics (Crates, NPCs, etc), the draw distance sucked, and it would chug in some environments. When I finally built a new computer for my parents and brother, you can bet that I replayed HL2 to see what I had missed. I thought it looked good the first time, but the second time was amazing.
regarding your longing fo simplicity, I defintely prefer 2D and sprites for some genres, especially platformers, Effective writing and storytelling are the most important aspects for drawing me in. For Crysis, I'm not expecting any major twists, so it'll be up to the gameplay and presentation (graphics and sound) to draw me in-
I remember playing max payne with an average of 5-10 fps and i had a great time playing it. I eventually replayed it on a much better PC and it was much easier to get into the mood of the game. It just seems to me that playing a game with a solid framerate and not having to worry about "laggy" areas makes a game much more enjoyable. And these fluid games are becoming hard to come by nowadays. Unless you're J.P. Moneybags and can afford a ridiculously expensive computer system.
