At last, PC gaming is looking better: - Page 6

Hopefully I will have a job by the time the game is released, that would cover me for a Graphics Card which is all I need, especially now that I have a 24" Dell monitor

The X800XT is better than the X1600 series, it does support shader model 2.0 but not 3.0 which was the cause of a fair few (pointless) fanboy wars.

I see I could play Crysis at minimum levels on my current PC which is 3 1/2 years old now but not much more than that.

Ah right. You can tell I've let my hardware knowledge slip, two-three years ago I could tell you the best pieces of kit without so much as a glance at a hardware website. Now I have to do research to even know what's available

All I can say is :

http://www.jumpgate-evolution.com/

There is no way in hell a console will ever be able to match that game. Or its predecessor, Jumpgate. The sheer amount of in-game and third party website data that we go through with that game could never be accomplished with any console. And also I don't think you can hook a Saitek X52 to an XBOX, can you? :evil grin: Joystick required, baby. No way around it.

I much prefer the dynamic economy and community of Jumpgate to any other game I've ever played. No two flights are ever the same. Yes, Jumpgate is a very niche game, pretty much only for sci-fi geeks that like to fly. And the learning curve on it is nothing short of insurmountable, but it is VERY addicting. I've been playing it since 2000, and I'm still going strong.

Release date for Crysis announced as 16th November link

The article seems to suggest that current DX10 hardware may struggle - we'll just have to wait and see. I'm really looking forward to this, I hope I'm not disappointed.

I'm sure this due to poor drivers Stan, I read a simular article elsewhere.

If it was to be that none of the current DX10 games could actually play DX10 games, there'd be an outcry and possibly the death of PC gaming since people will loose faith in the platform. I'm sure they won't let this happen but if it was, I too would have to consider where my loyalities and lay.

Superb!!!

Gears of War on PC 6th November with extra levels and mods. Some of which where left out of the 360 version.

About time.. The PC is having a very busy and different 2nd half of the year..

More games than time to play them.

Looks interesting as a first concept. Total gun modding sounds good, maybe one to keep an eye on in 2009
