Contrary to popular belief, Crysis will run on older PCs. This comes from Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli, who tells Next-Gen that new technology will allow the upcoming game to run on computers that are up to three years old.
“We developed almost all effects to be very scalable for different hardware specs,” he says. “Fortunately this is much easier now that we can rely on the existence of hardware shaders. We believe clearly that Crysis will be enjoyed by a large audience that dates back to gamers with two- to three-year-old gaming rigs.”
However, he suggests that if you are playing the game on DX9, try not to view the game running in DX10. “You should not miss anything when [only] playing it on DX9, but if you get a chance to play it on DX10 you might [miss the fidelity when going back to DX9].”
He also talks about multi-core support, Vista-only and DX10 transition.
