Wishlist: PGR4 with a FF wheel, 2K Legends Football, and Halo 3 with an XFPS controller. And I can dream that Halo Wars will be a Battlezone PC clone...

6800GT has crap SM3.0 performance. Anyhow, he should try 1024x768 with no AA and AF and pay SPECIAL attention to texture resolutions and shadow detail as the GT has only 256MB of memory (running it like a card that has 512MB is gonna cause pain). Also turn off HDR as performance is craptastic with FP16 on NV40.

SM3.0 a system requirement? That's some shoddy PC development.. especially for a game like this. Who are they marketing it for here, exactly?

Suckers

The performance is apparently TERRIBLE even with a monster rig, tiny draw distance as well that affects chase mission! Great stuff!

Well the thing is, the cel-shaded Spidey game they did was pretty good in the end. The pre-release version of that I saw had issues but it turned out alright. They certainly nailed the swinging down.

I can spend a long time swinging around a decent representation of New York, but I can't spend £50 for that alone. We'll see. Movie first :D

The game sucks so why bother ?

i cant understand y it requires so much...how much will crysis require in comparisson?

2007-04-30 19:23:08

It's easy to understand, it's down to crap development and shoddy coding.

Marumaro for the WIN !!

lol i started thinking the same. If Spiderman 3 requires this much then everyone looking forward to crysis can pretty much forget about it :D

Yea like jolli said though most likely horrible pc development.
