An interesting question about the Crysis Beta/Demo : Crysis

» Tue Feb 02, 2010 3:41 pm

When the Crysis Demo came out, it was already as good as the game. Had all the major features with excessive possibilites. and had a memory size of atleast 1.77 gb. How will the Crysis 2 Beta/demo differ? and how much memory will it weigh when you download it?

(Remember Crysis: Pre-release demo - 1.77gb. What about Crysis 2: guessing around 2. gb or even 3gb with those kind of graphics)

Crysis was only 3GB or so, Crysis Wars was like 6GB...

I dont think the beta will be too big, probably only like 1.5GB or something. Just so you know though, this question will never get answered by Crytek themselves.

I am guessing 2 GB.

Can't be sure, most likely it will be 2-4GB... We'll see.

This will depend entirely on the content.

At this time, I doubt we'll get any answer until the demo comes out. Perhaps when it does get released, some game sites will most likely tell the size.

I would assume around 1.75GB, the crysis demo was around that, and look how many textures and models they had in it. (almost all the island assets)

I think it would probably be a bit less because of it's "trying to be compatible with everything" move. I'd say... just around 1.57GB.

But the PC beta most likely is going to be bigger in size, as the consoles might only have the low res texture pack.

guess the console version won't be that big as the PC version will be.
the hardware of the consoles can't be updated.

to topic... i think the demo will carry about 1,5 GB (for me, as a DSL light user with a downstream of 384kbit/s it's terror to download smth. like that) and the whole game will carry about 7 - 8 GB, i think.

I wouldn't bother with a demo just yet. Who knows how it's going to turn out.

I will never pay money for a DEMO!

Well technically it would be a bigger demo or sorta a beta...

» Tue Feb 02, 2010 4:32 pm

i wouldnt pay for it either if you wait then you could just rent the game and see if you like instead of just paying for a small chunck of the game.

More beta or Demo?
