Crysis also released recommended hardware specs, which allowed you to play the game at all low settings and basically look like the original Far Cry. Some may not mind that, but I dont play games to run them at low, I want all the eye candy, and AA and AF!! So we will see what they mean by recommended, does that mean we can play the game in all its glory, or will it be another pig like Crysis?? I will reserve my judgement until after it actaully is released.

I think that Ubisoft has made this game better in terms of playability on a wider range of PC's than Crytek did with Crysis.

Trailers I have seen of the game and gameplay look really sweet. Gonna pre order this one from Steam, you bet! Chris.

Trailers mean squat, Crysis had nice trailers also showing great gameplay, didn't mean that you could actually play it once you put it on your own system. I'll be all for buying it if it is made well, but if it another beta Crysis, they can stick it. Ive been burned too many times in the past (UT3, FOW, Stalker) to blow $50 only to find out its junk.
