The update on Crysis Online aims to outline that the new system requirements are far from being Crytek’s last word on the matter. The game is still being optimized and final requirements have yet to be released.
Well, Crytek might be busy optimizing alright, but the new HDD space required is far from what we can call “optimization”. According to the new update, Crysis needs 16GB, nearly triple than it previously did:
– CPU: Intel P4 2.8Ghz or AMD equivalent
– RAM: 1GB
– Video Card: 6800GT (256mb) or ATI/AMD Radeon 9800 Pro (256mb)
– HDD Space: 16GB
– OS: Microsoft Windows [XP and Vista I imagine]
– Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c Compatible
The previous update featured both the minimum and the recommended requirements:
