Crysis 2 multiplayer demo headed to pc!

They are doing that because they got TONS of shit from the PC community + all the Crytek mod area's such as Crymod + myself with my email to Crytek.I sent them an email im sure they will never forget Crytek joining with EA was the worse thing Crytek coulld have done.

With the Demo release of Crysis 2 on consoles im sure they got worried because the 360 Demo was horrific so Im hoping the PC demo will be top notch
 
Yeah, no doubt they are getting lots of hate from pc gamers and deservedly so. It's good to see this addressed. I'm just hoping for a eventual single player demo. I'll still download the multiplayer demo to see how it looks/runs on my system.
 
Funny how no one really knows what the PC version looks like considering nearly all marketing videos were based on the 360 version.

I guess we'll find out soon enough.

This is something I've found quite suspicious. You'd think Crytek would have flooded the gaming media with footage of the PC...now we finally have something, a month from release.

A PC demo is still very good news, so kudos to Crytek for pulling its head out of its collective backside.
 
Do you honestly think Crytek is going to give us Poor Graphics. I dont think so Crysis 1 & Warhead are still #1 in the Graphics department. I dont believe Crytek will Degrade Graphics at all they have one of the top engines on the market.

I can see Crysis 2 putting some stress on our hardware.

It's not just that it's multiplatform, but it has been how cagey Crytek has been with how the PC version looks. Crysis 2 will probably look alright, but given the circumstances it's hard to expect it to look better than the original, which is now in its fourth year on the shelves. It doesn't need to brutalise every videocard for the next two years like Crysis did, but it should look better than a game from 2007.

DICE and GSC were both quick to say that their respective upcoming multiplatform games have the PC as the primary platform...we've heard no such thing from Crytek.
 
Good News. Hopefully this sets a trend for Epic and the other blokes but I doubt it. I'm not too worried about Crysis 2 for PC something tells me that if you enjoyed the first game you'll enjoy the second. I see no reason that there wouldn't be an increase in IQ as well.
 
They've also mentioned that if they can't scale it down for consoles, it's not going in.

I expect it to look good, possibly on par with the first Crysis, but that's really not saying much because it is a four-year old game as you said.
 
Good. No matter the reason why they did it I'm just glad we're getting a demo. I doubt the MP will be great as the MP in Crysis and Warhead were not their strong points, but it'll be nice to see how the game looks and runs.
 
I just replayed both Crysis and Warhead on my new rig. Awesome!!! The graphics are so good. And the little details are still amazing today. I love how you can shoot the grass and into the trees and see the vegetation move and react.

Definitely still at the top of the awesome graphics pile. I'm actually kind of scared of Crysis 2. Everyone remember how bad Crysis made our fancy rigs look when it came out? My new box is gonna suck again with Crysis 2.

Yes I honestly do think they will give us graphics that are a step down from Warhead because its a multi platform engine this time around which always yields lessor results.

And Crytek's past history and whining about PC piracy , I can see them not giving it the full effort it deserves.

Lots of company's are snubbing there noses at PC gaming in general , look at Dead Space 2 ... it just released and already they've said the DLC coming soon for the console WILL NOT be released on the PC. Thats a total slap in the face , the 360 and PS3 are both getting it ..but we aren't? Did we do something bad? We know it isn't because EA can't afford it..

I've played the 360 Crysis 2 MP demo and it leaves a lot to be desired. The graphics are decent but not ground breaking so they better have some incredible stuff planned for the single player because Killzone 3 looks quite a bit more impressive.

I have very low hopes that Crysis 2 will be anything special at this point and instead will end up being another forgettable shooter.

I was kinda of expecting a CoD clone and the whispers in the wind have seemed to reinforced that. I'm a long time CoD fan but I think BlackOps will be the last I purchase.

Could have been done just to increase interest through anger. Seems to happen with a lot of PC related stuff. No release announced, then magically they announce a game will ship with the other SKUs(clearly it was started). Dead Space 2 did the same thing.

The MP will almost certainly be better in Crysis 2, because for a FPS to sell well on consoles it needs a solid multiplayer...so naturally Crytek will focus a lot more on it this time around.

From what I've played in the 360 version it isn't. Its got the cut and dry ranking system , nothing new or fresh. The feel was also off as it felt like you were sliding around on ice (this could be fixed before release since its a beta though to be fair).

Even though I only played a tiny sliver of the MP maps ( just one) the game play wasn't something amazing.
 
maybe they used this as a test to see how much interest it would actually garner on pc. They probably feel we owe them something.
 
There was a preview some time ago where the reviewer, from ign, said he got a chance to play the pc version and said it looked amazing when compared to the console version. Ironically he was playing it with a 360 controller heh.
 
Too little too late , this game is gonna suck just like the previous one.

How about a Singleplayer Demo? Crysis never was rich on the Mulitplayer.

*facepalm* IGN editors ... playing Crysis 2 on the PC with a 360 game pad :rolleyes:
 
I'm not sure what the I and G stand for, but N definitely stands for fucking Noob. Their reviews are terrible, always featuring some hipster douche trying to sound cool in his writing with crap like "oh it's like this game and that game with this celebrity had a baby that's on crack, huurrrrrrrr", trying to sound cool and edgy.

On topic, I look forward to the Crysis 2 demo/beta.

You mean "YOU" haven't heard it. Have a look at the Crysis 2 TV videos in youtube and you'll get a sense of what the PC will have over consoles.

Have you considered the possibility that they improved their multiplayer ? No, of course not...what a preposterous idea. You'll just dismiss it entirely because you didn't like the first one...:rolleyes:
 
Although good news, I cant help but think that this is Crytek trying to save face after having their demo lambasted by console users.
 
You guys are too pesimistic, i played the 360 demo yesterday and aside from the low res and the lack of AA the graphics were quite good for a multiplayer game, Most recently built pcs from 2009 should be able to smoke it at 1920*1080 with 4x AA and higher resolution textures. Can't wait for the demo, the sensitivity was terrible on 360, you either got moderate fast turning speed + very sluggish response when ADS or hyper fast turning speed + moderately sensitive response when ADS, plus it feels really akward to use dpad shortcuts while playing a fast paced FPS.

As long as the community gets it's hands on modding tools I'm sure we will soon see graphics that top even those GDC06 jungle remake videos that were made with cry engine 2.
 
There are two people at this forum who are going to be critical of anything released by EA - they're just constantly bashing and bashing and bashing. All it is from these two is fuck EA, fuck these assholes... and it's getting super tiring.

Going to go out on a limb and assume you mean me.

Oh yeah, I'm super-critical of Bad Company 2, the Mass Effects and Dragon Age, aren't I?

I'm not going to apologise for having a far lower bullshit-tolerance than you.

As far as I read it, it wasn't lambasted at all. Everything I read mentioned an enjoyable gameplay experience, but with some caveats for the controller, which suffered from some problems. Plus everyone raved about the graphics, which is no surprise (even on consoles). CryEngine 3 is just gorgeous.

You and I obviously frequent different forums, because everything I have read on multiple forums suggests that users are firstly not very impressed with the demo and secondly quickly tired of its gameplay mechanics which apparently is a rehash of COD and Halo.
 
Good move by them. Maybe it took all the backlash from the PC gaming community for them to change their decision, but lets just hope they take a hint and stop pulling a bone headed move like this in the future.

Multiplayer never really caught on in the first Crysis, so this is a good chance to see if they got it right this time. Looking forward to it
 
Well Im cautiously optimistic about this game for us on the PC. I'll probably buy it day 1 cause I'm a sucker. No, I'm not gonna wait for a year for it to be 10 dollars on the steam christmas sale next year get fuckin serious. /shrug

its obvious why. CONSOLE PORT
 
Call me a skeptic,but I think the backlash over the 360 demo played a part in this. Frankly,I could care less about the multiplayer,I would have rather seen what they did with single player.
