they should have a huge pile of cash from all the ARMA 2 sales Sure, but I'll bet it pales in comparison to what they make off their Virtual Battlespace products. Our governments love to dump buckets of cash on such things.
But it's made by a different company altogether, well separate from BiS. I don't think that carrier command game did so well for them either. |

Boy, would an initial release date be nice. Even a rough guesstimate.
Are we, like, only a matter of a few weeks or month or so away, or will we still be waiting come May or June or beyond? Just cannot wait to play this and the curiosity's killing me and my gaming buds! 
Last I read
They implemented PhysX 3.0 in Arma 3 only after having worked on getting PhysX 2.0 in the game, everything needed to be redone. The two imprisoned BiS devs were working on making Arma 3, probably caused a bit of a delay too.
There was suppose to be a release of a "community alpha" many months ago but the decision to switch to PhysX 3 was the reason given for the delay. A hint at a release date for this would be nice, maybe sometime this summer?
I think DayZ standalone took high priority over Arma 3 and it's still not out yet despite being hopeful about releasing it before the end of 2012.
I'm not expecting this to be released till very near the end of 2013. |

I saw nothing exciting today
8 Gig's alone means larger levels for us pc users, less loads... We've been bottle-necked/held back with 1/2 gig ram systems.
Not for your standard first person shooter, production costs are going to go sky high with the level of detail you'll need to put into a game.
I would also expect $70 price for games that can't be traded in/purchased used.
I saw a lot of the usual "this is what we hope our game plays like" rendered videos, nothing on the magnitude of a Randy Pitchford e3 presentation but still a lot of B.S.

Singleplayer campaign is short, five or six hours some probably longer if you stop to look at every nut and bolt in the game.
Despite the fact that Crytek put in a hard coded graphics card DX11 check you can disable all the features that DX11 brings - and it seems most people are if for no other reason to make the game look better by turning off post processing fx, if it weren't for that stupid check I would have bought the game.
I'm not on the warpath for a new graphics card just yet.
edit: yep, final code of the game. seems that another complaint is the number of night/dark maps outnumber the daylight ones. perhaps they did that to conceal the rough edges when played on consoles. |

Maybe it's just that first person shooters don't really have that deep of a toolbox when it comes to things you can have the player do besides shoot stuff but it's getting a little silly with the switch flipping and find the recorded message bit.
I watched some twitch.tv of the single player and while it looks impressive the gameplay just seems a bit flat, part of the problem is the way the nano-suit lets you easily defeat the AI. The enemy soldiers just seem like crash test dummies that are there for you to shoot at, moving targets barking meaningless orders.
I did think it was funny that they put wildlife in the game but when you kill any animal it has no rag-doll effect, just falls over to the right side - deer to squirrels just fall over like a statue made of stone. I did see an enemy AI try to walk through a shipping container, overall though nothing like Aliens:CM goofy AI.
really good looking demo for CryEngine 3 though.

ugly map, just don't use the logo and there's nothing they can do.
I prefer satire over the real thing anyway, if I were to make a map parody of Burger King I would call it Horse King with posters claiming burgers made with 100% Horse Beef. |

I bought one of those 27" korean monitors 2560x1440 on ebay for like $300 (included 2 day DHL shipping) and it was one of the best purchases I have ever made. Seriously the thing kicks ass, no idea why you all wouldn't jump- Had it over 6 months now, I guess time will tell if it holds up.
So yeah, not saying this gfx card is needed, but at those resolutions and my love of single gpu gaming(tried SLI on two occasions in the past and will never go back) I welcome high end cards.
(I currently have a gtx 570 and the 1.2gb of ram is probably on the limit considering my resolution)
Hello there fellow 27" korean monitor owner, I too think this was the most kick ass upgrade I made last year. I spend a little over $300 for a "pixel perfect" one - some say it doesn't matter and it's just luck of the draw but it ended up being 100% pixel perfect.
They're not for everyone though, the screen glare needs to be offset by proper lighting in your room, warranty support is not going to happen due to expensive shipping - if your monitor arrives DOA it's an instant $100 shipping bill to send it back. You have to navigate a bunch of ebay sellers and do a bunch of research on who to buy from, bought mine from "red cap".
As for this graphics card, if it boosted rendering performance for 3D programs like Max, Maya, Modo greatly then it could be an asset to people outside of gaming. Ability to render out complex video scenes from After Effects realtime?
For gaming there is the Oculus Rift headset which the developers say they need solid 60 frames per second for fluid feedback. If they get the 1080p screen in the retail version then needing a super-high performing graphics card might be needed.

monitors with missing settings menus
The lack of an on board hardware scaler (you let your graphics card do the scaling work) and no on screen menu is a good thing as you get a monitor with a faster response time. It also means that you can't effectively use these monitors in a single display setup, you'll need another monitor that does have hardware scaler to see your bios setup information.
They're not in the same league as a Dell, but then you're not paying $1000 for one either. The lack of anti-glare coating is a plus now that I've experienced the clarity of a screen without it. It's dependent on how you have your monitor setup with regards to natural light from windows of course.

I really don't understand the logic behind rehashing Crysis 2 again, it's more or less the same setting and you're still fighting the same looking enemies. This one feels more like a showcase for their engine than any sort of evolution to the series.

I think people nit pick too much. I'll leave it at that. I think this is just meant to market the license and have some fun. It definitely isn't aimed at diehard fans of the original series.
Have diehard Star Trek fans accepted the reboot on a whole? I found it to be atrocious, the recasting of most of the characters was decent enough but everything else felt so opposite of what Star Trek should be. Just look at that freeze frame from this video clip, pretty movie accurate. How did something that god awful ever get approved. |

This looks like a good candidate for those "lets play" youtube videos, the repetition of shooting generic aliens and soldiers might induce sleepiness, or coma.
still, very nice looking tech demo they've made. |

what? System Shock 2 was the best game he has made.
I'm not too keen on this one though, I bought into the dark underwater atmosphere of Bioshock but the setting for this game just seems really off for some reason. |

The problems with this game run much deeper than any lighting or texture improvement can overcome.
The first few levels makes you wonder why everyone is being so super critical of the game but after you get to the back end of the game you can see that they really dropped the ball.
The game itself plays like a highly polished mod, for a triple A title it feels like they needed at least two or three more passes to polish everything, add in some scripted events like they showed in the demo where marines are pulled into vents and killed, improve the AI of the Aliens and replace the apparent placeholder objects they put in the game to fill in dead space.
You could make a drinking game for every time you come across a cup with pencils and scissors in it or a generic craftsman toolbox and be shitface drunk half way through the game. With many of these objects floating above tables.
I still can't get over the six years of development and how far off the final game is from that early E3 demo.

Still can't believe how badly they ruined the skiing and player movement from the original starsige tribes.
another once great gaming franchise cast against the rocky shores with unmitigated incompetence. |
