I hope the Mar 1st 360 demo will be a better representative of the full game at release. The controls and lag will be the big seller for me.

I think thats the point of doing another 360 demo. The first was more of a beta IMO.

there was an beta before the demo. and now its the second demo!
anyway i cant wait to play on pc!
perhaps its going to be possible to kick the xboxs players ass^^

Hmmph. I wonder if there will be a competition between platforms to see who can get more players?

Hope we get a play with the dev days like the Xbox had a while ago. The PC version is likely to have a HUGE amount of issues.

It has been pretty obvious that the Xbox 360 is the lead platform in this supposed "multi-platform" game, but now the Xbox 360 users get another demo which will launch on the same day as the PC demo. That's real nice. As if the exclusive beta and demo weren't enough, the Xbox 360 gets another demo at the same time as the PC. PC fans had to fight tooth and nail to get a demo. After silence, then an announcement (with no date), then finally a date, the PC gets it. However, the Xbox 360 gets an announcement shortly after with date immediately shown as well. The Playstation 3 users get an announcement of a demo but no date in sight.

Thank you Crytek and EA for taking a massive dump on your fanbase.

Well, it makes my purchasing decision very easy when it comes to Crysis 3.

I don't think it's worth the rant. You can obviously tell Microsoft is pushing Crysis 2 on 360 hard because they got crap games now.

It's whatever to me, I am just disappointed it's in the same date as PC, PC can't even get 1 glorious day alone.

I don't believe Crytek have a say in this to be honest, it's probably a last decision move from EA, or Microsoft paid them a lot to give another shot at the demo to make the hype bigger.

GDC is around the corner, there will be a lot of publicity for them.. so I would understand they would want to push it for the console as well seeing how it's their last chance to "WOW" people before the launch.

Honestly, the "demo" is not even a "demo" for the 360 in January. It was like a test beta demo .. lol

why the **** do people keep crying about 360? its seriously annoying. Even PC players getting the demo on march 1st are mad about 360 getting another updated demo??? who gives a **** stop biching

So you wouldn't bich at all if InFamous 3 was released on all three platforms with significantly changed mechanics, only the PC got the demo first, then the PS3, at the same time with a second one for the PC?

^thats a 360 player obv, and evry should just calm down this is going to be closed quiky this way

Yes, do not try to isolate this as though I'm angry at the Xbox 360 getting the demo. I'm angry because of these reasons:

- Crysis 2 is announced for all platforms even though Cevat Yerli claimed that Crysis is impossible on consoles.
- Directly contradicting what he said earlier, Cevat claims that Crysis 2 will not be downgraded from the original because of consoles.
- What we find is that Crysis 2's controls are modelled completely around the Xbox 360 controller. Now the suit automatically enables certain modes and features such as prone, lean, and the grenade button are either removed completely or, in the case of lean, is only available in single-player as an automatic feature.
- Cevat's original words rang true as Crysis 2's levels are smaller and more cramped. There are few fewer physics objects. Trees still break, but there are so few of them and they are so small that it doesn't matter. However, Cevat still claims that Crysis 2 has not been affected much by consoles, even though the game is moved to a radically different setting, the story jumps three years, and the removals and restrictions mentioned above were made.
- All footage is shown from the Xbox 360 until about a month before release.
- The Xbox 360 gets an exclusive beta, then an exclusive demo. The PC finally gets a demo, but then the Xbox 360 gets the same demo at the same time. The Playstation 3 gets a demo announced, but no date.
- With less than a month to go before release, DirectX 11 footage and screenshots of the PC version have not been shown.

Oh, and multiplayer has been absolutely butchered. I don't know why Crytek bought out Free Radical. They went into administration because of the failure of Haze. Of course, they conveniently do not mention Haze at all and instead like to talk about how they made Timesplitters. Either way, these are console FPSs. Why are they exclusively working on the multiplayer of a franchise that has been only on the PC up to this point?

Overall, Crytek/EA/whoever is in charge of this mess have forsaken the fanbase that brought Crytek here in the first place. Go ahead and cater to the console fanbase, but do not cry or be surprised if the PC version does poorly in sales. Of course, they'll take the easy route and just blame piracy instead of taking responsibility for pissing off their original fanbase.

yes i am a 360 player... but if i was lucky enough to afford a high end computer to play it on PC then i would. But i wouldnt be biching about the 360 getting more demos. Its all for marketing theres no sense to keep complaining about it. On march 22nd -25th everyone will be happy in the end

you dont even need a high en pc to play the game lol you can run it on an 800 euro pc if your smart.

i should stop talking acely but....
place yourself in our shoes

I don't think you get it at all. "Everyone will be happy in the end" are not the words to bring up in this kind of situation. It's not just about the demo situation here.

For instance, your favourite ice-cream flavour in the whole wide world is vanilla flavour, and your most hated ice-cream flavour is chocolate.

The ice-cream truck only comes to your area with vanilla too, so you're basically the happiest kid in the neighborhood. They come often, & you were always there.. also they started their business in your area to begin with.

One day, you go to the ice-cream truck and tell them your usual.. "I want a vanilla ice-cream'

The truck driver tells you they no longer have that, instead they are only selling vanilla-chocolate ice cream because they can't afford to have 2 machines in one truck. The reason why they're doing that is because they're expanding their business to another neighborhood that loves chocolate a lot..

Your neighborhood no longer gets the ice-cream truck routine you usually had, instead they are now coming once in a while..
____________________________________

Would you be happy you're getting vanilla and chocolate? No, because you hate chocolate in the first place. This is basically almost.. the same situation.

Wow...quit your biching! You're getting the demo on PC on the same date! What does it matter if the 360 gets another go at it with a new map? Seriously they obviously want to show those that tried the beta that they're making changes for the final product. Maybe even get a little feedback too. Come on I can't believe you guys are whining. Grow up.

its one consequence of having a below minimum response team

Let me guess, another Xbox 360 owner? Growing up does not involve voluntarily getting screwed over by companies that you have supported. Why should I support a company that treats its fanbase like **** while giving special attention to a single platform that has never received any of its games before? This is especially damning when they kept going on and on about how CryEngine 3 made multiplatform development easy. After all the downgrades, the media focus on the Xbox 360 is just another slap in the face, but it's enough for me to be pissed off. Tell me why I should spend $60 on a downgraded game when Duke Nukem Forever is around the corner for $50? The funny part is Crysis 2 is developed on a somewhat modified CryEngine 2 and they're charging $60, whereas Duke Nukem Forever took fourteen years to develop on a completely rewritten engine and they're charging $50.

If you think I should just bend over for the companies, then YOU should GROW UP.

Look!!! The Point is wer're all getting demos! JUst dont worry about. Pc will get their demo, 360 will get theirs and PS3 will get theirs. Just enjoy the demo

I think the 360 is getting one because there was a incompatibility preventing people from playing over WiFi

What is your problem with xbox360 getting a new demo?In fact is better for the community to get a more polished version than the first.It is a very good decision from crytek to give them a new demo with fixes as it may change their opinion they had when they played the first. The only ppl who should complain are ps3 users who get the demo later than all of us.

Ps im a pc hardoce player and icant understand why u hate console gamers so much

Consider this,

Many 360 players couldn't even play the 360 demo because it didn't work for them (Some said it wouldn't connect or the game would lock up, or something like that), so I guess this must be a fixed demo.

I'm glad the PS3 demo is coming, I will be trying it out. I'm also eagerly awaiting the PC demo too, not long now.

It doesn't make sense to throw a hissy fit over absolutely nothing. You're getting a demo. Sure it's coming later than expected, but does it really matter? You're getting a demo and ultimately you decide whether to purchase the game or not. Companies don't have a gun to your head. If you don't like it, move on.

Were you really expecting a $50 game? You're paying for the game not the engine it runs on. From what I've seen the game is incredible in all aspects. Setting the benchmark for all platforms, including PC. It's well worth the $60. Anyway, what is $10 to you? Save your lunch money kid lol...

Look!!! The Point is wer're all getting demos! JUst dont worry about. Pc will get their demo, 360 will get theirs and PS3 will get theirs. Just enjoy the demo

That's not the point. The point is that they're paying so much attention towards the Xbox 360 that it's pretty much the main platform for the game. After three PC exclusives, that's a real kick in the balls.

360 gets another demo because the the first demo we got was glitchy as hell, froze our xbox's and was hard to even play for a lot of people. A large majority of people who downloaded got a really bad impression and might not buy the game. They do another demo, in line with there new build, then people maybe change there mind when they play a working, polished version of the game. They're focusing on xbox because thats probably where they'll make most money, and its a new group of gamers they have to impress. You PC players are already fanboys, and PS3 well...... who REALLY cares about PS3?
