The system requirements for many of these new games are ridiculous. I know these game developers want to push the hardware, but they are just hurting themselves in the long run. It's hard to sell a game when most of your target audience can't run the thing. It's also funny that they require an operating system that's not due out to sometime next year.

But the games themselves aren't due out for another year either. By the time they are out, I'll bet that sort of PC will be more common.

I don't think there's going to be a mad dash to upgrade to Vista. It would be a very stupid move on Microsofts part to not make a version of DX10 for XP.

Oh, you were reffering to that. I'm certainly on your side for that one, but I imagine (hope) most games will be like UT2004 / RO with D3D10 / D3D as options. Currently most games still support OSes down to 98, so I can't see that it would ever be normal for games to be vista dependant.Err said:

I love lush visuals but what id like the most is for AI to match the level graphics have reached. AI is the thing thats most behind in gaming, especially in squad based shooters.

Those crysis screens are kinda funny though, three floating heads? That look little like the heads of the ingame characters? Terrain not unlike something achieved in Bryce 3D how many years ago? Yeah, I'm a cynical bastard. If it floats your boat though, good for you, I'm not out to bash opinions.
(oh, and real Real-Time Weapon Change will signify the final leap to Next-Gen)

I'm waiting for an FPS to use realtime rendering on a Spore scale. Since UE3 incorporated the Reality Engine, it should be possible to have an "infinite" map size, though a processing level of detail system would be a must for any sort of multiplayer capabilities.

Erm torque shader engine?
İ really doubt that that are the minimum reqs. I except something along the line of p4 2.4 ghz. I really doubt a 1 ghz jump from the first next gen fps game GRAW which required 2ghz at least.

This whole "next gen" is a silly term to bring out sheep in many and it's all just better graphics not much as far as gameplay improvements whatsoever..

A'yup. Shame too, they own the MechWarrior license. Bastards.
They can keep their spooge-wad OS and exclusive titles. I'll be back here 'faking it' on Linux.
Now that I think about it, though...Maybe the DX10 'Vista Exclusive' might be a good thing, and we'll see more Linux versions of games from bigger developers...? There is nothing Windows can do that Linux can't do.

Compatibility is still a problem for Linux. Also, Linux driver installations aren't excatly user friendly.
I obtained a copy of Vista the other day. I must say that so far I'm impressed with the "aero" interface. The installation also went off without an hitch. Even so, it's bloated. There are at least 10 more processes running than I have with XP. It also takes longer to boot.

Yeah, but who cares? MS rarely produce decent games anyway. All we'll lose is Lionhead's new games and Halo 3.Phoenix-D said:

Actually, when XP was released, M$ spend a fortune pulling Win98 from the stores so only XP was on sale, i dont think we should expect anything different this time around, infact, seeing as copy protection of all sorts have been such a big priority with Vista, i'd say theres a lot of money invested there, money that would be wasted if XP is allowed to live on.
My bet is M$ will do anything they can to strongarm people to make the jump to Vista, just a heads up..
