I don't get who is the retard who had the brilliant idea of making a demo for Xbox 360 only, if you can't make it for ps3 and pc for some technical reason then dont do it at all cause you are just upsetting costumers and passing a really bad image of yourselves as a multi platform company, Crytek.

The way this is going i wouldnt be surprised if the ps3 and pc versions would come full of bugs and lag just like cod black ops, if they cant even make a demo for all platforms then something must be really wrong with the game
shame on you Crytek. This thread is going to be alive for a long time.

I'd love to talk about the qualities of the Crysis 2 demo, but Crytek and/or EA refuse to release anything but Xbox 360 content. How can a good community be supported when they're dividing it by only allowing one platform of their multi-platformed community to play and only showing that same group what they can expect from the game.

On top of that, they continue to show off the same content we've seen since E3. How can we comment positively on the game when all they're showing is the same old content and not even on higher settings? Where the bloody hell is the Pc and Ps3 content of Crysis 2 and their respective demo's?

Just an re-invention, it got locked in the last thread I found it in. This thread was still active though, guessed it was good enough to be reminded.

The need for Pc and Ps3 demo is far more well sought for than ever before. The recent exclusive xbox 360 demo fiasco is something that most of us will never forget. It was one of the most dramatic events in the history of Crysis 2 and Crytek for generations to come. Yet the struggle for a Pc and Ps3 demo will not end here, the fate that we have now is only a temporary setback. I still have faith in Crytek, but it's shaking. The once great Crysis that changed Hd gaming will return again to the Pc powers and share its power with the ps3 & consoles alike.

And this post, should never be forgotten. The last hopeful user on this site who still has some faith in Crytek. Black_angel, Crytek left us Pc gamers to rot with their Xbox 360 exclusive behavior. There's no need for useless hope at this point XD, if you still believe in Crytek, then your the last one to do so.

It's obvious at this point that Microsoft, EA games and Crytek have a multi million dollar deal going on.

Microsoft: It has been shown in the original Crysis where they artificially restricted features to DirectX 10 in order to promote Vista.

EA games: It has been shown when Crytek announced the Xbox 360 exclusive Project Kingdoms.

Crytek: It is now being shown with Crytek only releasing content for the Xbox 360.

All signs point to this relationship. You'd have to be really ignorant to think this relationship doesn't exist.

That's nice that you love wasting your money on multiple platforms, but not all of us have all three systems. The PC is so much better than the consoles that I see no point in wasting money on those systems except the Ps3. They want us to waste our money on systems that play mostly the same games but at far lower settings.

Besides that, I can't stop thinking of where EA has gone with a PS3/PC exclusives. Suddenly the 360 gets a bit of adoration from EA? . It's not the end of the world, we'll all be playing the full game in two months time, but the courtesy of the demo being 360 exclusive itself will only hurt your community more.

Well, I admit to say I was happy for 9 months until two days ago where then I read “Demo exclusive to Xbox live”.
I’m not anxious nor happy anymore, and three of my friends including myself just canceled our Limited edition pre orders. They just lost $180 of our cash from one bad decision.

This thread is truly the ultimate demo thread,
Perhaps neither publishers/developers would be better off putting more resources into providing gamers with a high-quality demo instead of investing heavily in a huge & overpriced Xbox 360 exclusive treatment. With in-store kiosks, Microsoft Marketplace and the online features of the PlayStation 3, it's becoming easier than ever for publishers to distribute their game demos directly to the audience they are after. Especially the PC and Playstation 3 users, they have been around in this thread since the beginning.

I should also point out that this part is very accurate, as it would be unrealistic to expect everyone/anyone from Crytek to address this soon, so as the issue as large/vast as this demo thread.

It's the first time Crytek has ever made a multiplatform game, meaning they need to know what people think about their game. And since it's coming to consoles for the first time too, I think every PS3/PC gamer will want to try out their experience before they buy the product. Because the 360 gamers already got a piece of this action.

After all, its for everyone.

And in truth console games take more effort if you want to produce good results. Lazy developers exploit this by releasing unoptimized console ports to the PC and think "hey, those PC users have much more powerful hardware, they can run it!" Although that is sometimes true, it leads to problems and makes people upgrade to higher hardware than what the game actually needs. A useless ploy to insult Pc gamers.

I joined these forums on behalf of me and my brother and I was looking forward to getting this for the PS3, but I've seen nothing to vanquish my anger of it turning out to be an annoying exclusive to the damnable Xbox 360 console. It's a capable machine to be sure, but everyone knows developers have had a difficult time taking advantage of the hardware in the past, and Crytek's ignorance isn't helping one tad bit. I would suspect that the footage you see in trailers is taken from the PC version, but I still think they've slapped their original fan base in the face.

This community is on the web, accessed by Pc players. And their acting favorably towards the Xbox 360 console users?

-_- They could have atleast taken advantage of the Playstation Home community features PS3 has to offer...Roll on the Nano Suite avatar head band and all of the useless crap that follows!..Still im holding out faith EA/Crytek pull through for the wider audience because i'd be smacking a dead horse if i explained that this community is PISSED!

I don't see where he said he owns all three systems. All he said is Crytek/EA is getting paid off by microsoft...which is definitely true. Sadly. Or at the very least pull another stupid gimmick to make people use Windows 7 (you all should be anyway.....) and give more PC support.

The Ps3 and Pc have not see a single piece of of Crysis 2 information, beta testing, and now a demo which we are here to justify and discuss about, while the Xbox 360 console has had all of these. Here's evidence of how bloody mad I am.

This is not the only thing, that has to do with the demo, but also the complete lack of information and marketing of the PC/PS3 versions for crysis 2. The lack of support for the PC/PS3 has caused us to lose faith in Crytek's ability to deliver a working multiplatformed game. At this point, a PC/PS3 demo might be able to save them or more information regarding the two other systems. What ever is better?

As far as I know, there is more than a demo problem going on here but when I came to this forum this morning and seen dozens of posts of how the Crytek staff has openly ignored and betrayed us by not giving us the demo we have been discussing here for so long. You have to admit, that just gets under your skin for some reason, and makes you want to do something unforgivable. But that tidbit is silly to get mad over the demo problem. We shouldn't forget about our moral reasons while arguing.

Organised? That topic was made by the very person who encouraged me to abandon crysis 2 a while back. Shouted at this thread about abandonment and even targeted Crytek staff violently in the first post of that thread before editing it. It was just at the top of this forum when Cry-Tom visited back.

Yes that we should still act like normal human beings about this but on the brighter side of things there is still time for another demo to be released, but now is the time to justify it before it is too late. Developer companies like Crytek tend to divulge very slowly/not at all to community demands thanks to EA/Microsoft. Though the game has most likely been finished for PC/PS3. This is the part where we judge and justify to buy it. Or better yet, give it a proper test run.

I think this developer, hasn't noticed. But the knock knock posting has been banned in a lot of forums I use to like. Since it was kind of ridiculous and made most people laugh to read it, thus making people attracted to it. But that thread is pretty informative for people who want to listen to another developer trying to evade the bigger question with stupid little answers about multiplayer. Where is the Pc and Ps3 demo?

Here's one tidbit of proof to prove you wrong. Here's that thread's author.
I would rather their be no demo than to have those damn xbox360ers get another exclusive item.
There's more to follow.

Honestly I'm just glad to see a demo to begin with. I do have to say though, their choice of system is terrible. It's hard to market games on the PS3 because Sony doesn't have panels all over that scream "Buy Me!!" like the Xbox. So the demo should've been on PS3, because as I've seen only Call of Duty and PS3 exclusives ever take off. Games like Battlefield had extensive beta and demo launching on the PS3 and that's the only reason it survived so long.

The PC should have been the first if not the exclusive choice for a demo from any standpoint. I'd prefer it on PS3 simply because I play on PS3, but the PC community has been faithful, not to mention the core of the Crysis franchise. I think it's almost blasphemous to see the PC community neglected so much.

Anyone can say "oh well it's on Xbox" but when the online community dwindles and many more well known companies bring out their games, Crysis won't make it. It might survive on it's flagship 360 but nothing else.

For those who don't know any major games coming out I'll list a few:
Killzone 3 - PS3
Bulletstorm - Xbox 360, PS3, PC
Brink - Xbox 360, PS3, PC
Homefront (skeptical but maybe a heavy hitter) - Xbox 360, PS3, PC
F3AR - Xbox 360, PS3, PC
And that's only a few games hitting late winter/early fall. So if Crytek wants any recognition outside of this community they have some ball-busting work to do.
