Well RAM is no issue, it is cheap. The problem is the Video card!
Is there no way to increase the amount of shared memory with the graphics card onboard to over the 256MB limited by the BIOS?

U have an onboard card like me????? then i don think its gonna handle the game..... anyways u can increase the amount of ram shared by gpu in the bios.

I askd for suggestions here n finally invested in ram.... now its time to get a good gpu then i can definitely play this game

^^ Even i stopped trusting Gamespot after they gave Crysis 9.5 :shock:
try www.1up.com The GFW site, you can trust these guys.
They gave Crysis / COD4 : 8 /10

& Assassins Creed 7 /10 (Editor review) :)

People should judge the game by playing the demo not reviews , play the demo if its good for you then play the full game if not forget it then.

Exactly what I said earlier.The game hasn't even come out & we are all going ga-ga over the proposed requirements.Wait till it comes out atleast & then comment on the requirement based on people who test it on their systems.;)

Dont...and I repeat DONT, try to blast through the game. Take your own sweet time and you will appreciate the game for what it is.

Remember and repeat after me....just one assassination a day!

Any other way and you will end up hating the game.

Thats the key to enjoying games like that....... Many frends of mine were pissed off with POP series....... on the other hand those who explored it completely enjoyed it much more

yup rush thru kills the whole enjoyment.

Exploring is fun, and u comes to know every secret that game developer intended to leave for u.

The same applies to stalker.

have you even played assain creed ....stop making any judgement those games you mention are not repetive , they have diffrent objectives but in this game you have only one objective , please guys don't make any judgement without playing the game, & don't comare it to POP,stalker etc.. this game is diffrent from them & it should stay that way.

Well guys i have played the game for some time now, you see when you play the game & kill only for the first time it is very exciting but when you play the game day by day with only one objective (getting the information about the person, killing, escaping etc) you sure get bored but right now i hate the game for its requirment , its a bad port you guys should accept it , i mean are they going to make a game which uses more powerful hardware than crysis ? if its yes this game sales will go down like crysis & this game will fail if so , well atleast on the PC cause i am sure we don't have killer hardwares.

you are talking about this thread right ? well its no a joke this is reality of a port while they easily port a PC game to consoles but it ain't easy to port a cpnsole game to PC !!

Jan 29, 2008 at 12:03 PM
well guys that is what the trend of technology is now a days. it is totally motivated by games. The games are setting the standards for what kind of hardware should be standard. sad actually. those developers should put effort to make games better to play not just to look at. remember the days of Dave and Wolfenstine3d. man those were th days of intelligent game developers who had to squeeze their games in such slow hardware.

we cant blame the developers. its because of those false gamers who play games just for the graphics. they would play crysis and rate it 10/10 for the graphics. i know tons of people and hey many of u guys may be like this. that is why developers are concentrating more on graphics than gameplay. we really are gonna miss the days of pop and others

Jan 29, 2008 at 5:04 PM
well the fact is most people dont look deep into anything but at the top only. the same thing is said abt fastfood, gadgets, tv fashion etc. people follow what they see. i.e what is promoted.

beauty/looks etc are rated 1st on any charts. and because of that more beauty is demanded. it is one of those circles of life.

the game industry had turned into a hollywood clone.
