The single-player demo of Crysis which we were expecting tomorrow has been delayed. Bah.
EA and Crytek have said that the taster will now not be out until October 26.
Whether or not the release of a little first-person shooter called Halo 3 this week has influenced the delay we can only speculate.
The official reason from Crytek is that it's "taking some extra time to make sure you that you have an amazing experience but also we did not want to risk the release date of Crysis at this stage.
"To get the game into your hands by November the 16th, we had to make this call", the developer's added.
You may recall that when EA first announced the original release date for the Crysis demo it was mentioned that there'd be a surprise from Crytek included. Well, the dev's chosen to reveal what that is - the CryEngine 2 - Sandbox 2 game editor.
Crytek's CEO Cevat Yerli has said the release of the game editor before the actual game ships is something the developer's always wanted to do.
noooooooo arrrghhhhh noooooooooo this and the delay of nvidias G92 high end until Q1 2008 arrrgghhh noooooooooooo
you do know that the G92 is rumored to be a Nvidia 8700 dont you?
Its actually split in 2( the G98 is the lowest end ), the D8V( mainstream ) and the D8E( high end, i.e. GTX ), problem is fudzilla reports D8E delayed until Q1 2008 and the mainstream D8V out in november but theinquirer( which i never believe ) says theyre both out in november
Anyways, this game is taking an age, from the comments on the beta, ive reduced my expectations for crysis by.......a lot unfortunately

Good news about the Nvidia cards...(for me at least) ... if the high end Nvidia cards had been released before Crysis i'd have probably just bought one and sold my 8800gtx without a thought,but now i can see how it runs on my 8800gtx and if its ok i can wait to buy a new card.

yeah, i heard it plays 'decently' on the 8800gtx's( considering settings are high and not ultra ), but we have to wait for info on dx10 performance unfortunately, as im dying to get an 8800 but hoping to hold out for the new batch
