Next intensive game after Crysis..?

Farcry 2, looks immense feature wise, things such as wind carrying fire across fields and only having 1 mission that you can solve how you want.
 
Farcry2 apparantly due late March 08

looks like we aint gonna be gaming for an even longer time cos no doubt thats not coming march !

Need Crysis/Cod4 expansions already ;)
 
who needs next intensive when you still got supreme commander grinding to a halt on a 3.4ghz dual core.

C2D? What in-game situation?

Large maps, with high unit counts with lots of AI.

I played one of the 81x81 km maps, 7 AIs (over 4 teams) 1000 unit cap. Running on my 3.6GHz quad.
Gamespeed was ok when all teams were around 600 units, (changing the gamespeed from 0 to +10 made no difference like it would normally, game was cpu limited)
Didn't ever get to the point where the game slowed loads, as it always crashed from trying to use more than 2gig of ram, something XP doesn't like!


Next intensive game graphically, I'd say the Crysis sequels, and quite like Farcry2.

Well I see the next intensive game as Alan Wake.

Was just reading an interesting FAQ on Alan Wake and apparently graphics wise it's not very demanding as a 7900GTX can run the game pretty smooth, it does however have pretty high CPU requirements as physics are calculated with a dedicated core, so dual core or at the very least P4 with HT is minimum requirement for pleasant gaming performance.

Nothing is certain about the specifications but you will need Windows Vista and a fairly high spec PC. Remedy have showcased Alan Wake running smoothly on an Intel Core 2 Quad system overclocked at 3.73Ghz with a GeForce 7900GTX.

Markus from Remedy has said "Alan Wake would pretty much not run on any single core processors, although it may be possible to run on single-core Pentium 4 processors with Hyper Threading enabled, with noticably reduced image quality/experience."

The game will use a separate processing thread dedicated to physical calculations. Since Remedy is using Havok, there is no support for Ageia PhysX cards, so all the physical calculations are done using the CPU. Markus has explained that a normal Core 2 Quad will use 80% of one core for physical calculations.

Looks like we can finally see the quad core shines.

So I think probably Crysis sequel or Farcry 2 will be very demanding.
 
I am sorry but I am not playing crysis untill I can get it on directx10 full settings at 45fps+

So I don't know why people are looking for the next intensive game? I am frustrated with my high end hardware performance at present, let alone what the next range of games will do to it!

I think the question should also inlcude "when are the next decent GPU's out"
 
Fallout 3 looks likes its going to be pretty demanding, I'm really looking forward to that game, looks awesome!

Theres very little info or stuff on the web about it apart from a small teaser video (which shows no gameplay) and a few screenies.
 
Company of Heroes in DX10, and World In Conflict are the next most intensive.

UT3 is intensive alright, but the engine scales beautifully to lower end cards.
