Crysis to arrive on November 16th

THERE WERE SOME insecurities about the release date of Crysis, and whether the title would ship this year or slip into 2008, but now these fears can be dispelled. This upcoming mega-hit will ship in November, and the shipping date is 16th.

This game is pretty much make or break for DirectX 10 API, since any failure happening would hamper the acceptance of DX10 API for quite some time. Crysis supports both DX9 and DX10 APIs, but this game looks absolutely phenomenal.

Besides single-player mode, Crysis will intro Power Struggle, multiplayer mode based on strategy and action elements, spotting 32 players battling for control of weapons and vehicles.

When it comes to system demands, this machine could be that final push that will send many Pentium 4 and Athlon XP machines into retirement and that is what AMD, Intel, and Nvidia are hoping. µ
