Well, my rig is in the sig, and i can say that now im sure i'll be able to play it, at least It runs definitely much smoother than betas, and the average framerate now is better - 30-40 fps, sometimes more, sometimes less. I took some screenies, but the graphics are - ghm, well, actually in Far Cry i can get a better look at higher framerate If you're interested, http://forums.overclockers.ru/viewto...372745#4372745 - here are those screenshots.
So much for the gfx, the gameplay is pretty interesting. AI is pretty smart - searching for covers, trying to flank me, using grenades. The shooting mechanics in overall are very good, and the cinematic intros are just great - those few i saw here are worth of being shown on cinema Physics are something really exciting - at last we've got a FPS in which you can grab any object in the world around - just like in HL2 (although right now it seems to be a very little practical use of that, but it's good nontheless as it is). And something really cool begins when you get into the jeep and run over a building\cut the trees of with machinegun' fire
Well and while i've been writing this, i'd uploaded the video with first minutes of gameplay recorded. Check this -

This is how the game starts, you've been warned about spoilers The graphics are bad, but my rig seem not to be possible to run Crysis better whith a playable framerate than this, 1280*1024\noAA\everything on middle, but shaders and shadows on low, while sound/water/physics/textures on high. Also sound is scruffy sometimes and i've no explanation for the lag caused by clouds 'till 01:40 - framerate then jumps from 6-8 to ~30fps with the clouds disapearing from screen. <...>
