Crysis 2: Exclusive Multiplayer Demo for Xbox 360 Announced

Post » Sat Jan 01, 2011 7:49 pm

For all the pc gamers complaining about crtyek not being loyal, remember back when crytek announced crysis 2 would be on consoles? Do you remember why?, well one big reason was because you self proclaimed "LOYAL" pc gamers pirated crysis 1 up the ass. Crytek is not being disloyal, pc gamers stealing the game made it financially impossible to make crysis 2 what it could have been if it were exclusive to the pc. Also i would like to venture a guess that this decision was not that of cryteks, but of EA. So blame EA.

YAY!!!!

... There are many hurt egos here...
C'mon guys it's a f***ing Demo! Ok? I won't start crying at Visceral Games for not releasing a Dead Space 2 Demo for PC, but still I'm buying it. The Game still comes out on any plattfrom so quit whining, it won't make anything better.
Nameless its useless
I know. But I just don't get why people are just too dumb, to say "Crytek is baad", because a Demo is not released on PC. Most Demos aren't released on PC, so what? It doesn't really matter.

Sometimes it doesn't, try manually patching it. I dunno how to do that on the EA store version though.
I am downloading the latest one now. I don't have Vietnam. Is everyone on vietnam? <_<

Alot of people are but not everyone. :P

Are you sure? This is what I see when I search for non empty games...

You need to update...

I usually find well over 300 dedicated servers, and my search filter is pretty darn strict. Thousands of dedicated servers if you search global.

Go into your programfiles, and run the autoupdater.exe as administrator and see what happens.

There was this one update that was like 2.6GB in size or something. The previous one was about another gigabyte. So, yeah, if you haven't updated for a while, you're screwed.

It is probably downloading the map pack and Vietnam, although you need a redeem code to activate vietnam. the map pack is free because PC is awesome. :)

Its 1.5- 2GB or something, so it will take a while.

lol

Look, I'm on the 360, and I am stoked for the beta. But everybody needs to calm the **** down. This is absolutely pathetic. You PC elitists aren't entitled to anything, no matter how much you feel you are. I even feel guilty almost about the demo being 360 exclusive, but that's just the way it is. CRYSIS is a PC exclusive, so we should at least get the opportunity to play a game in the series before we go out and buy it. Does it svck? Yes. But everybody seriously needs to relax.

As for the PS3 version, I don't know, get over it.

Damn right. PC-Gamers just think they deserve anything better then others, while they're not. And when somebody tells this to someone they counter with this: "Xbox is only 720p"

I know PC is better (Duh!), but I hate the people claiming all this. They should really keep it in their mind and leave it there.

And besides, I can think of many times where EA has gone with PS3/PC exclusives. MoH Beta, (you guys had it a month before the 360), Dead Space 2 content, BC2 Vietnam a few days early, etc. It's about time the 360 gets a bit of love from EA. It's not the end of the world, we'll all be playing the full game in a matter of weeks, so no need to flip one huge ass bich just because you don't get to try the game early, which already is a huge courtesy in itself.

I'll do my best to post a review, thoughts, and impressions on the demo for those who don't have it. I'm not going to be the one to laugh at those who don't have it, but everybody needs to grow some balls and stop biching about all of this already. It's just a demo.

Growing balls = bending over as Crytek ignores their original fanbase? You have a twisted perception of reality. We have a right to be pissed. I don't care if you Xbox 360 fans missed out on the **** MoH beta, this is about Crysis 2. This isn't just about the demo. It's about how almost EVERYTHING released about Crysis 2 is about the Xbox 360 version. They said that they want the experience to be equal on all platforms. The beta came and was exclusive to the Xbox 360. We dealt with that. Now the demo has come and it is also exclusive to the Xbox 360. That's just **** and there is really no excuse for it. Xbox 360 fans are just being jackasses by pretending it's not a big deal. You're content because it's actually coming to your platform.

Ive got an invitation but i just dont wanted it.
I never cared about demos and never will.. give me the gold version and were talkin again.
For the trailer.. it looks fun to play...and if i imagine how fast its gonna get on PC controls..oh man then were in for a ride. As far as i can say the grfx havent improved since the gamescom Xbox 360 demo but that was foreseeable.

And for the console flamewar... just wait untlil everything has gone gold... every **** mag will do a comparison article for all 3 platforms i swear to god! It all justs begs for an direct comparison..but lets all calm down until then.

And man just cry if you all have personal issues with the Xbox 360 demo.
Just think of that you all are mighty PC People "that includes me as well" and together will crush the unworthy peasants whenl the day has come, the arrival of the great Crysis 2.

And our banner will breeze in the wind:

Maybe Crytek wants to see how it will run on the 360. 360 fanboys can complain all they want, but the xbox is definetly the weakest of the consoles by far. The PC and PS3 are juggernauts compared to the 360. So it could possibly be to see how it runs on the 360 and then after any fixes, PS3 and PC demo? anybody agree?

You have a twisted perception on MARKETING. Crysis is a new thing to consoles, and there is a lot of uncertainty of how it will make the jump from PC to consoles. We know the PC version will be the best, but how good are the console versions going to be? This gives EA a chance to show the console fanbase (360 in particular) by showing off this new game, and hopefully turning some major sales on the 360. Though you think you are "entitled" to something, you really aren't. EA does what they want to with the game, and you have no control over the decisions they make.

They don't care about what the PC players "deserve" or not. They care about sales. Get over it.

That stage has already come and gone, remember the 360 pre alpha? Well then.

I can see using a "stress test" on only one platform, but a "demo?"

This is hard to undermine, and should still be remembered for the havoc it caused back then. As seen right now, Pc and Ps3 gamers get the cold shoulder. The Xbox 360 are truly being treasured by EA/Crytek somewhat.
