Crysis Warhead – Requirements and other data

Yves Roumazeilles — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 10:12:46 +0000

Crysis Warhead is a sort of complement to Crysis, the FPS PC video game that shocked the FPS game world last year. For my own part, I’ve drawn pleasure from the mere act of replaying the solo game campaign, for its realistic combat scenes, its pleasant images, and its great playability.

But EA is preparing a kind of follow-up. It’s all about following the deeds of a character already found in Crysis. this time, in Crysis Warhead, you are Sergeant Sykes (”Psycho”). It is not a sequel to Crysis (even if everybody was disturbed by the abrupt end essentially opening to the following two episodes in the series), but a a parallel approach to the same part of the scenario.

Nevertheless, what PC configuration will be needed? EA told us that software optimisations will help a lot the users with relatively small PC configurations, who were unable to play Crysis correctly (EA said that a 400€/$620 PC would be enough for the “High quality” settings).

Minimum requirements

Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ or Intel Core 2 Duo E6550
Memory: 2 GB of SDRAM
Graphics: DirectX 9.x on GeForce 66xx or Radeon X16xx

Recommended requirements

Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ or Intel Core 2 Duo E6750
Memory: 2 GB of SDRAM
Graphics: Radeon HD4870 or GeForce GTX260

Fast Crysis

We have been used to receiving one update of Crysis, the PC FPS video game of the year, for a long time. But it seems that there is now an upcoming change: No update, just a new extension named Warhead or Crysis Warhead.

Crytek was a little imprecise on this, but there is one major advantage to it: It will bring enormous performance increases. It is ssaid to be able to run Crysis at high-quality settings on a $600 or 400€ budget PC. Probably nearly any PC a gamer could buy will be able to get max quality.

Unfortunately, all photos I could find are just plain bad.

Crysis 2: We will have to wait

The boss of Crytek simply announced that Crysis 2 (the sequel to Crysis) would not be ready before 2010. The wait will be long.
