Knock Knock, Crytek. Our Community and the Demo Dilemma

Post » Thu Jan 06, 2011 8:02 pm

Hi guys,

The issues you've spoken about here I have raised internally. As I am sure you can appreciate everyone is extremely busy at this time with work on Crysis 2 as we're so close to launch, so an immediate response is unrealistic. When I have something I can share with you, you can be sure it'll be posted immediately in the forum. Having been around in this community for 2 years I am well aware of how strongly everyone feels on this matter and I wont let it carry on unanswered for long.

thanks :D

Thank you lots Tom! You guys are a fair sight better than the mods I have met from other companies before.

As I think you know, we won't let this issue go unanswered. Hopefully we recieve an answer after not too long, we understand how busy the Crytek team must be right now finalizing what launches on the disc come release date. :)

Thanks for the dedication! All of you can continue to comment on the current situation or the status of answers, all input is of course appreciated. :)

Thanks from the response Tom. I'm glad that you understand us man, were eagerly waiting one of the most important game of 2011. Everything so far looks really awesome what we have seen.

I would just like to point out:

It is bugs like the laggy Xbox360 controls that really make us anxious to see the PS3/PC versions. The recent IGN preview is what we would like to see for the other versions. I know from a personal level that I would like to see footage whether it is buggy or not. While I know that showing bugged footage is horrible marketing for the masses, if there are little/no bugs then you guys have no issues to worry about when showing us PS3/PC footage. ;)

Showing us PC/PS3 footage will let us get our anxiety out about whatever concerns us. Not showing us footage is giving us the opinion of a bugged/bad port release for the PS3/PC.

Just my additional 2 cents.

The trailers that were uploaded on GT were from GT, not Crytek.


Getting back to Tom, Thanks mate. I'm glad you've made the message known. Here's hoping we get our answers.

My point is that it's 3 additional things focusing on the Xbox. There's virtually nothing PC/PS3 related out there at all about the game.

This really is bad for the original supporters of crysis!! I don't know whether to Cancel my order or Say FU!!! one of them will happen!!!

1:Xbox 360 beta..
2:6vs6 multiplayer
3:Xbox 360 exclusive demo
4:Halo like jump around game play
5:prettier colors but less photorealism
6:they already have a relationship with M$
This is officailly a console game coming to PC!!
nothing to see here folks..

Wrong this is way different then halo. example: in halo jumping around makes u look like a complete moron unless your actually trying to do something and its basically saying shoot me plz.

in crysis i dont think ppl will jump unless its necessary. when u need to make a getaway or dodge. in fact the only game where halo jumping actually works and gets u kills is Cod(not sayin CoD is a bad game but it happens)

Really? All of the previews I just read today just compared this game to CoD, Halo, and said that the 6on6 multiplayer will be something you either "love or hate".

I am disappointed, Crytek. I thought you guys could atleast be a little bit more original, but you guys even cloned over prestiging...

Out of all the previews, this is the only thing I found as promising:

This wasn't the only issue I experienced; there's also a sense at times that the multiplayer sandboxes might be too much box and not enough player-sand for the max player count on consoles of 6-on-6. For team deathmatch (or team instant-action, as Crytek is calling it), this is fine enough, since players can only score when they encounter one another. But for objective type matches, like Crash Site (the Conquest style mode included in this week's demo), it takes what seems like forever to make it from your spawning point to the action when you die, which really kills the game's momentum. Of course, while precise PC player counts are still being finalized, I was able to cajole the word "more" out of Crysis 2's producer

Still waiting for news on when we will see some PC/PS3 marketing. Feel free to comment...

Why would you guys change the name AFTER Sam tells you that he wants to sticky it if you guys cut the flame title and list what we want.

Just read that, so I'm still hopeful myself (even before reading it) but I'm most concerned about us ever getting any kind of demo at all, so I can try it to see if it runs and such before I buy the game.

You would think people would understand a demo being extremely important for PC sales in particular as not everyone knows if they can run it, and before someone mentions recommended requirements, I'm sure I can come up with TONS of games where said requirements are just dead wrong. GTA4 anyone?

A lot of reviews also said that there seemed to be a lot of depth and strategy involved in Crysis 2 MP and that it wasn't your traditional "whoever sees their enemy first" sort of deals. I'm curious as to how people will receive the MP demo tomorrow.

Anyway, I think that the mp looks good, but then again I'm biased towards smaller maps with less people (I think 8v8 with squads of 4 players would have been best, but it looks like for IA/TIA 6v6 is OK).

Hopefully the modders will be able to turn up that limit and work their magic.

you have been searching for PC or PS3 footage at all, think again. Have you been looking for those DX10 to DX11 comparison screenshots? Sorry, think again. Over the past 18 months of Crysis 2 and its developmental process, the PC and PS3 platforms have not seen a single frame of video or a single pixel of a screenshot. The Crysis 2 marketing has been solely fixed on the Xbox360, which has been eroding trust away at the community's faith in Crytek bringing a successful multiplatform game into the market this March, 2011.




That’s because its gona be a shaty xbox360 port to ps3 and pc and they don’t dare let that dumper out of the bag till release day and after a few million copies are sold to ps3 and pc customers with out them knowing its pre rendered at best 720p for a microsoft CRAP box360


I WONT BE BE BUYING TILL I VERFY THIS IS NOT A CONSOLE PORT=)

IF IT’S CONSOLE PORT PISS-OFF

IF ITS CRAPBOX 360 PORT CRYTEK, MS AND EA CAN EAT **** AND DIE


Sorry dudes with sooo many good games coming out this year i have to chose who gets my money


-1 Console Ports

there is no demo on ps3 or pc because there dirty console port secret would be let out the bag.

I could be wrong but Everything leads to me being right sadly I had hoped for a real Crysis not some poser crapbox 360 port with the crysis name glued on crooked

Duke nukem forever comes to mind =)
