"We" is something you shouldn't say in a thread like this while it's all about a demo.

We want beta. Demo is not needed.

Give us a demo please!

The original Crysis had a demo released almost a month before the release of the full game. February or early March sounds good. A demo is essential, especially since the game is launch for $60, even on the PC. I'm not throwing down that money until I can get a feel for what I'm getting.

This is a point that was made quite early in this thread by another user some time ago. Yet, your post is quite the point. Why would you spend $60 on a game, if you yourself, knows nothing about it. (Suddenly getting memories of SC2). Nor an idea or feeling of this new type of gameplay for Crysis 2. Thanks for pointing this out in your post (hark).

Remember farcry 2? If that game had a demo, many people didn′t buy it...

We want beta. Demo is not needed.
They had a beta all the way back in October. It was exclusive to the Xbox 360, but I see your point. They REALLY need to release a demo for all 3 platforms. I know myself being an Xbox 360 gamer, that hardly anyone I know on LIVE has ever heard of the original Crysis or let alone Crysis 2. A demo would greatly help boost it's reputation in the console community. You would figure that a demo would be a piece of cake now that CryEngine 3 features Live Create, where they can make a demo or hell, even just rip out one of the first levels that are in the game and throw it in there for all 3 platforms. These days, demos should be standard for any game.

I went one night and rented that game. I had high hopes for it but I was completely let down. Ever since Crytek sold the series to Ubisoft it's been garbage.

The need for a demo just keeps coming. As always, today's standards are still in effect for all forms of technology/gaming.

Another point has been pointed out. Just keep it coming guys .

Besides, a beta would be far too late to be released by now. Due to the obvious polished status of crysis 2 for everyone. And who would want a beta right now, they finalized the stats for both sp and mp sides after that 360 test.

A demo is what we need.

I might just gamble that there will be a demo.

Its a EA. Even Bulletstorm, a game that I thought shouldnt really try to have a demo is having one.

I want a demo for the ps3 to see wich one is should get,crysis 2 or killzone 3.
So,Crytek,release a demo to convince me that i should BUY your product and not others'.
I've already seen what Guerrilla Games can do,now it's your turn.
Thank you.

maybe a demo announcement is coming in a few days...

I enjoyed Far Cry 2, you just have to keep in mind that it is completely different from the original and it can be lots of fun. I use it more as a benchmark to test my overclocks nowadays though.

The dream and last hope. For a demo is needed.

Me too, Farcry 2 was kinda enjoyable. I just dont understand why Crytek sold it to ubisoft? The original farcry was a success in its time.

There has to be a demo. I would say around February 25th would be a RC for a demo, no later, no sooner.

Again like i said before. Its EA. Plus being there wasn't a Beta, then it only helps the PR team get the game more known.

There was a BETA On 360
There is an Crysis2/EA Event at London these days and we will get new informations from it.

Thats a Multplayer Test. It doesnt count. Plus Dead Space 2 still had a MP Test and yet, it also had a demo.

When is that London Event?

The multiplayer - xbox 360 test does not count as a beta. It was stress test exclusive for the xbox 360 gamers. The discussion here is about the possibilities and reasons for a demo to exist for all platforms just before the release.

Let's all , just try to keep this on topic guys.

The black_angel is right. We have to continue for the existence of a demo \m/ w/o altering it with any excess info with little relation.

That would be the opportune time for Crytek to release any info about the demo if ever it was possible. Just when is the London event anyway?

Anyway, about the EA conference/presentation in London ? Just continuing the inquiry here, when is it?

Because the last posts before this made some excellent point as how coming events might alter for us the best it can. As the possibilities for another C2TV episode is being hinted with this little piece of information.

360 beta was good, kinda makes me wana try the pc version to compare. A demo would be great

As longs as their is still this kind of support. Theres no point in stopping now.

My guess at this time is that they don't have enough faith in their game if it went for a full demo. Bad Company 2 had a public beta' and it was bloody successful in increasing sales, but controversial titles like Medal of Honor failed hard because of it.

Crytek should prepare with a Crysis 2 demo before trying a hit-or-miss open beta hype multiplayer like what happened recently. I'm pretty sure Crytek probably wants to make sure that they nailed their demo just right for us.
