If crysis make a console only demo, watch pc sales plummet to the hundred thousand levels

That would be bloodily unfair for the Pc and PS3 players. Let's hope Crytek knows what their doing. As for a console exclusive option tid, I personally care for those Pc players too

I've only one thing to say !

Crytek release a demo or I boycott the game ! (Lol)

I'm pleased to see your support [Hauff], but let's try keep it a bit spam free.

crytek would probably care more about their revenue from the game, they probably took a 20% sales hit on pc making it cross platform, they'd lose another 50% with a console only demo when the rage spreads

I agree on both your insights on this [The Comfy Chair and Anvaya].
If it does become a console exclusive only demo, it would be disastrous for the Pc gamers to accept.

And all gaming consoles deserve a chance to test run it/demo it to be sure. From what I noticed from Crytek, they're one of the top experts in what they do. There's little to fear on their decisions.

Welcome back Black Angel, things seem to be going your way . And here's a big heads up, the recent secrecy by Crytek about the release this march is keeping the Pc crowd at an all time high. If they don't address that soon, its going to be chaos. Your demo fight is already getting some heat again, keep it up.

Check this out:
EA doesnt consider Crytek as a serious company to make good games, and I think that Crytek should move on to a different publisher or handle it first party.

Ubisoft sure has a ton of downsides, but they handled Crytek with much more interest, pumped a **** more money into the Far Cry release, it was much more supported, and that resulted in a better release both sales and quality wise for Crytek's debut title.

EA has been handling the Crysis 2 release with so much animosity that even the base fans are having a general disinterest for the title. EA had horrible support for Crysis 1 and pressured Crytek into releasing that game early with tons of bugs which was soon abandoned, and Crysis 2 seems to be a complete marketing disaster with tons of potential like the first game.

I think that Crytek has made some huge mistakes since 2005, the biggest certainly being selling the Far Cry franchise and moving over to EA as their publisher.
Gotta say, I didn't expect this from you... I don't know if you and everyone else here are right and EA are doing a **** job, or if Crytek vouched to handly their stuff themselves and that's why it's not working out, or whatever. There are many possibilities in my eyes as I have no inside information. Maybe they want it this way, keep it on the down low until very late and one month before release Crysis will pop up all over the internet and the PC version will be shown etc, kind of a shock an awe strategy. OR maybe internally they already know they're going to delay a second time, so we're wondering why marketing is so sparse while they know why they do what they do. I wouldn't want to decide which theory is most likely so I'm just gonna wait and see a little longer.

Well if Crytek does delay Crysis 2 again until the end of 2011, I will be getting Battlefield 3 instead because the beta for that is rumoured for the end of 2011 and that will simply be a once in a lifetime experience of true epicness. ^-^ I can't wait for Crysis 2 any longer than they have put it off already.

Some of us are already on the verge of betrayal

Here's something from your last thread sweetie,,
February max. if not too late. And the game would be almost death in consoles before release.

I say this because a Demo is the only marketing chance EA/Crytek has to really show off the game, to the huge FPS fan base in the consoles market, taking into account most people who plays shooters in consoles have not played Crysis before, perhaps heard about, but not played.

And how can you become a potential buyer is you have not play a 5 minute sequence of the game at least.

Remember that unfortunately Crysis as an IP is not as strong/constituted as CoD, Halo, Killzone or Battlefield.

PC players need a demo so we can see if it is worth buying for PC. So far, all I have seen is not as good as Crysis 1. And if its only small maps with 6 vs 6, no vehicles, etc., then forget it. Most PC players want large battlefields, vehicles, and realistic simulation. So far, Crysis 2 looks like an arcade game.

I'll top that, ha! :
I already pre-ordered my "limited edition", I'm a long time Xbox user and this worries me too.

I played the original Crysis in a friends super rig during a technology show, which lasted 7 days, I really liked the game, however a never beat it. The graphics are obviously there, however I hope Crytek has been doing a big game-play push during all the development process, you just can wait for a small population to buy the game for benchmarking purposes and then leaving the game "behind". If Crytek/EA wishes that Crysis 2 is a little bit of a "Halo Killer" (worst objective IMO, looked at Killzone, it was supposed to be the Halo Killer, Halo has been going strong for a decade, in 3 platforms) then they need to give Crysis the original touch it needs so much, not just in the visual department but in the game-play aspect!

Remember good graphics don't really sell games, solid game-play does, looked at CoD it has been applying the same, now old formula in 7 games and there is tons of people still digging the franchise (I really hope the next iteration is a disaster, the one Sledge Hammer Games is developing, CoD has one way or another being the cause for the weakening of the Halo, Gears of War and Crysis communities).

I think if we kind of expect the game to have a decent online population at least during 12 months after release, (PS3 also), EA needs to wake up. and start advertising the game a la CoD or Halo style.

You can blame potential buyers, if they have no idea a game of this quality is coming out in less than 3 months.

A good demo will do miracles for Crysis's 2 "Marketing Campaign" (almost non-existent).

This one is dedicated for you, enjoy brain storming:

I found this a tad funnier than expected, don't take this the wrong way. It's just so thrilling to find this kind of art in a forum. It's giving off some weird message, a brain flying?

Well, back on topic. The tiff thats been going on lately is obviously a dissent of crysis 2 players and fans too. Where is Crytek? and why isn't Ea doing anything about it?

translated: Crytek will make a demo and only EA Games is stopping them. They understand your pleas fellow gamers. You must convince EA and Crytek to work together on this. not against.

Any change, y'all ? this topic is getting a lot more pages than before. You keep this up, somebody will probably answer this topic and give y'all the demo we all need. I mean come on, crysis 2 is new and the thang we want to drive on our own.

These are tough times for Crysis 2 and Crytek, there maybe a small number of slight signs of Crysis abandonment. But that shouldn't stop us, we fought for Crysis 1 till the end-game. What's the difference if we fight again for Crysis 2 and its arrival. Come on, Crysis 2 has gotta be worth the struggle.

more likely you will soon get a closed topic than a demo
in case you guys havent noticed this topic is about 90% spam and garbage, and that wont get you anywhere
also if demo/beta is ever going to be out it will be closer to the release date, in the max something like a month before, and is not the efforts of filling a thread with hundreds of useless posts equal to each other that is going to make them give you a demo right now

To Be Frank,

There are some valid and deserving points raised, there is also some nonsense withtin the thread, and clearly, lots of spam, this kinda thread will always rally the spammers unfortunatly, however, its concerning to see some are willing to boycott the game, or are on the border of betrayal.

This does suprise me, we are collectively supposed to represent the hardcoe fanbase of Crytek and the Crysis series, so far, and as far as I can tell, Crytek and the forum Representatives, have done anything and everything to please us as far as is possible.

Yes they have had to work within set constraint and guiding factors, that are in some cases beyond thier control, but all this time they have still done all they can to appease the screaming mob that is spammers and insulters, and ungratefull forum members, though happily those are few,

They have also done all in thier power to keep the rest of us happy as much as they can, again its impossible to meet all the growing demands at times, however, its clear to me that all is being done that can be done, I am a very keen fan, I dont need a Demo/Beta, to be convinced that I want the game,
though it would be nice it is not a demand.

I pre-ordered the Nano Ed from EA, as soon as was possible, this will be my collectors ed, I also pre-ordered the Limited Ed, from Game to collect and play from day one, this way i can play from the off, and it dont matter that the Nano, has a 10 day shipping at all to me.

All things considered, i am very keen to get my hands on Crysis 2 and get down to some seriouse gaming, and I know that i will not be at all dissapointed based on previouse experience. its my own opinion to wich i am entitled, and i have no wish to upset anyone by sharing it, but i do wish that some members would see the whole of the big picture,

You can please all the ppl some of the time
And some of the ppl all of the time
but no one can please all of the ppl all of the time

By the way, this already happened. And was settled in a civilized manner.

My only real intention for this thread, was to shed some light into its importance and the "Why". Your right that some posts seem to echo themselves here, but that is up to some, not all. I personally understand how hard it is to make certain programs; Especially games, but what your trying to do is demoralizing.

I didn't ask for it to be done quickly, I only did the research to prove its "Why" .

Your right:

The need of a demo is not 99.99% sure, its just a chance to be conceived. Though, it would be nice, if it was not of any trouble to them. Good luck Crytek

@black angel
i think i already said this before in this topic, the topic in itself (the first post, of yours) was great and a good way to make a topic about a demo, but as soon as everyone started spamming and crying for a demo right now all of your work was littered and a good topic was ruined
is like no one will give any more importance to whatever is said in this topic after reading past the 1st page

give us a demo

Where have you been ? we could use your help?
Yeah. Nice. LOL

Just to be clear...

Beta > Demo

While both would be great, if only one option is available I want a MP Beta so the game can actually get some bug fixes in for a Day 1 release patch.

To all recent posters, It's too late to turn back now. I'm sorry.
As mentioned before by:

The point of this thread was only understood by some, not all. It would seem nice to have demo. But it's only a chance now. Spammers and flamers will always be present, none of you can deny that part. But as long as the point was made clear (even to a small batch of gamers), and a noble struggle has been set. That's all I could ever ask for.

And to address Talon95's concerns.

While both would be great, if only one option is available I want a MP Beta so the game can actually get some bug fixes in for a Day 1 release patch.

While I would choose the one I have already selected. A beta would be good too, but Crytek already finalized their Mp features after that closed Xbox 360 Mp Test, I think its too late for any more alterations to the Mp features of the game.

(if) Though a patch would be necessary to the release, some could be addressed in other forms of testing, am I right?

I agree with everyone who wants a demo. It's an important part of building anticipation as well as a way to have people try the game and hopefully like it. More people that like the game = more pre-orders of limited and nano editions = more money.

In the end this all benefits you.

So Crytek has finalized their Multiplayer component based on just the Xbox360, no PlayStation 3 or PC testing has any input to their final decisions and last minute altercations? The MP is doomed then, atleast from the release until a couple patches come out, and by then a bad impression will be on the game and a dead community like past games.
