The upcoming Sci-Fi shooter, Crysis has finally had it’s system requirements officially announced and ladies and gentlemen: prepare to shit your pants. The bare MINIMUM setup requires a 3.2GHz Processor, 1.5GB of RAM, a 256MB Video Card and a whopping 12GB of hard disk space. The RECOMMENDED setup pumps things up a notch with a Intel Core 2 DUO @ 2.2GHz, 2GB RAM and a GeForce 8800 GPU. Have mercy!

Forum-goer & gamer-by-night, Dwayne Dibbly said, “When I bought a PC for back-to-school this year, I thought I was going to get something decent that should last me for a while. Unfortunately Crysis has burst the imaginary bubble in my head that once led me to believe 1GB of RAM was going to be at least the minimum I’d need for a game. I guess it’s time for a Geek Squad hardware update pretty soon.”

Another angry gamer, Paul Parrish said, “Things are getting retarded in this industry. First there was Rainbow Six Vegas with it’s ridiculous video card requirement of Shader Model 3.0 and now Crysis’ system spec recommendations. Are development houses no longer taking the time to do a little optimizing of their games for older system rigs like they used to? Obviously not! No wonder PC gamers have fled to the console markets.”
