Crysis 2: The Importance of a Demo - for all Platforms

Post » Fri Dec 31, 2010 1:31 pm

Just watch the video for this site by Cevat yerli' so many promises for development and few have been kept.
"Latest News" - http://www.gamesas.com/news
"Latest Media" - http://www.gamesas.com/gallery
"Meet the fans, talk about Crysis 2" - http://www.gamesas.com/forums/
"Improve the website as we go, over time" - Fairly self evident, still lots more to come!
"We're doing the website for you, so give us your Feedback" - http://www.gamesas.com/forums/forum23.html

That's all that i really got from the video. Can you go into more detail?

This point is so late already and development has been going so great lately. Were is the tid of an evaluation for a beta/demo thats really in need.
As it says; "as development of Crysis 2 continues we may evaluate the option at a later point". It doesn't state that there will be a Beta/Demo but rather, if Crytek wish to run a Beta/Demo, that it may happen. At present, there may be a Beta/Demo, there may not be, no definite answer has been announced either way :)

Well, it's good to hear that some of us are serious about this but that shouldn't be signal to show hostility. The demo will have purpose for each of us. It would be more suitable for all of us to try keeping our selves in a stable civilized mind set for this demo discussion.

Just to be clear, and Pls. no more spam attacks again Pls.

Any information regarding to a possible demo, would be nice to this point by now. The tensions have risen again, and I cannot control it. Your all entitled to your opinion and choices whether supportive or negative. That's all I have to say. :)

For Crysis 2. :)

I noticed that tad little detail in his message to improve support, new media that maybe involving tests like betas/demos and especially our feedback. Your reading my feedback tid and personally I'm impressed you took the effort to post all of this.

This point is so late already and development has been going so great lately. Were is the tid of an evaluation for a beta/demo thats really in need.

As it says; "as development of Crysis 2 continues we may evaluate the option at a later point". It doesn't state that there will be a Beta/Demo but rather, if Crytek wish to run a Beta/Demo, that it may happen. At present, there may be a Beta/Demo, there may not be, no definite answer has been announced either way :)

This part was slightly more uplifting and should be taken into consideration.

At present, there may be a Beta/Demo

However as the last line pointed out.

no definite answer has been announced either way :(

@Anvaya,
My appologies, I had no wish to seem hostile, I simply wished to point out that "gimme or im gone" type of response that personally makes me cringe, yr way entitled to your opnion, I respect it, Killzone may be wonderfull, the best game out there so far as you may be concerened i dont know,

I feel that a demo/Beta, is in any measure, only a small part of the larger game, and I personally dont feel that its possible to get the full perspective on the overall choice to buy the game, for instance.

I was involved in the Beta for MoH, it was a graphics calamity, nothing was done during the beta to improve the rough faults bad hitboxes and so on, they just collected the feedback and added it to the overall release, this tended to put many people off buying the game, people that have since heard that its doing quite well from fellow supporters, and they have gone and got the game.

I bought the game myself Tier 1 Edition, i dont like it so much but it does play a hell of a lot better than the Beta, and it does make another handy destraction at times, while I await the release of Crysis 2, in this you will see that in my view at least, a demo/beta, should never be the conclusion as to wether i buy a game or not, and again in this instance, it wont influence my descision, not even if we do get a really crappy demo, i have ordered both the Nano Edition, and the L/Edition.


Why, because Crytek has never dissapointe me yet, they create a dam gd player experience within thier games and i feel that they will continue to do so, in every gaming aspect but one, I have not been in the least bit dissapointed, that one point i mentioned, i had to upgrade my rig to play the Crysis end boss, and i had to check the budget, lol.

I wish you luck in your choice, but boycotting a game for a simple demo, just dont cut it for me, I agree with Talon in this case and have allready said as much in a good few posts,
Quote Talon,
And Cevat Yerli has promised many things before, a companies situation can change in an instant and it is not always a "piece of cake" to keep up on all the promises he made back in June. Since then the game has been delayed, a test was done on the Xbox360, multiplayer footage has been shown along with revealing FOUR multiplayer maps already, and THREE gamemodes (TIA, CTF, CS)... In reference to what Yerli promised, I think that Crytek has actually done quite well with their promises so far.

@Guss

well usually if you hire someone to work for you and they dont live up to expectations, you warn them, then fire them. right?

same with this. if we are not impressed by something, we let crytek know about it. if it is not remedied, well.... we find somewhere that caters our needs
I think you may have chosen a bad example with all due respect,
for instance,

we are not hiring Crytek, i could not afford that, could you,? lol

for counter claim, i offer.

you go to the supermarket to buy your food, you might think oh look! antie bozo's puddings, well they look nice, i wonder if i would like them, just on the corner of that gondola you find the Demo girl offering a taster of the same.

She is put there by the company who produced the item on demo, and it was the company's choice to do so, often this doesnt happen and again its company choice, but that wouldnt stop me trying the fair if it looked tasty, and came from a reputable firm.

I agree that a game is more expensive than a TV dinner, lol, but personally believe, much of my choice in games is based on previouse releases, and of course reputation, as I have said, based on that alone , i have pr-ordered the Nano, and the L/E of Crysis 2, such is my comfidence in Crytek,

Well in response to your anology, just about every supermarket here in the US I have gone to offers free samples before you buy. :D

The same goes for a test run of a car before you buy it and a certain game before any type of release. You have to put that into consideration. :P

Same here, man. In most Costco's I always enjoy the free samples before I make the initial purchase. For short, what I'm trying to say is that before I make a decision on any purchase. I try the best of my effort to have a piece of it before anything else.

The same goes for crysis 2. I want a piece before my final decision and besides the fact that my pc is still unchecked for possible hidden crysis 2 bugs.

To compare it to supermarkets is quite the statement. But your right Guss600, what we have in these forums is already a lack of proof to the real beauty of crysis 2. It may not apply to all products, but this game sure counts. Its in gaming software 101 rules, between customers and developers.

Sweetly well pointed out Guss. You should be a reporter, for product developments in the near future. Which should include a tad more for crysis developments some time soon. Tata and farewell :D

It's been a while, since thy checked on this thread. All recent transpires are looking well, its become a proper discussion on the possibilities of a Crysis 2 demo. It would be a well hoped effort to see this break thy such bonds. Since this is for a demo, and its already reached the edge.

And since, all Alienware users can now play Crysis 2. Much more is to be anticipated. And thy link to explain further is here:

The time of demo's and gaming tests have not ended. I mean, believe it or not. If we don't see any improvement or development to the things we have been discussing here. Then there's one clear conclusion, were just being left in the dark and that is just a tad too sad.

We don't need updates every freaking day. Only because there hasn't been any news lately, it doesn't mean anything bad. The more they keep silent, the more the tension rises. For me at least.

I don't see any reason why they shouldn't bring out a Demo (for this, the Campaign Demo is more important than a Multiplayer Beta, but both aren't a bad idea), but it's up to them either take extra time to finish up a demo with Ads, an open end etc. and loose time they obviously don't have (read in a magazine that they still have many bugs in the game, especially in the AI) OR they focus on completing the game so everyone who bought the game on the release date or pre-ordered will have an awesome experience. When the last thing happens, they maybe should realease some more media to avoid a hostile crowd of angry fans. ;D
