Crysis - Delayed - Now Q3 2007 or later ??

I've been following this game for a long time, and I'm also dissapointed to hear it being released late :( . As far as graphics / gameplay goes, I'm looking forward to the game for all around realism, not just graphics... realism is always a big plus to gameplay. And, I don't like EA producing the game either, but look at it this way: Better it be released early and patched 100 times before the year's over than by produced by Ubisoft and be developed for the XBox 360 THEN ported to the PC with horrible performance and rediculous arcading gameplay. :wink:

P.S. Gabbo, i definentally reccomend getting the 8800GTX as soon as possible :) It beats every other card IN SLI 90% of the time, and would be well worth the purchase. Don't wait for the R600... you don't know if it will really be that much better.

And if it is, you'll regret it for the rest of... well, the cards life. :lol:

I'm really torn. It's always good to wait for the competitors answer - if for no other reason than the price cuts.

Hey, Intel are (apparently) gonna knock about 25-35% off the prices of some of the top-end chips (including Core 2 Quad) in response to continued threats from AMD in the price sector. A quad-core chip for $530? Yes please! :D (That might make them more affordable in the UK... ;))

Paradigm (who is looking at getting Core 2 Quad and an 8800GTX when the prices are down in the new year. ;))

Well, I've been waiting a while to get a new Gfx card... I was going to get the X1900, X1950, and so fourth... but when the 8800 came out, I figured to go for it. You have to find the right balance between wait, and buy. If you wait for the competetors answer, and then you decide to buy it, the next leven in DX10 cards could be relased and leave you with a now "outdated" card. Lol, it's like russian roulette!

Judging from ATi's history, and being a proud ATi user up intil recently... I wouldn't expect the R600 to really be more powerful than the 8000 to make a difference.

P.S. Price cuts is a good reason to wait though :)

This exemplifies whats most wrong about PC Gaming. Whether its the magazines or the publishers pushing for all the different 'sneak peaks' or 'mini-level tests' we the consumer get bombarded with the PR only to have the developer push back the release date by months or even a year.

Trust me, I want a game that works out the box...but there's also respecting the gamer. In an industry of Duke Nukem Forever (subtitled - and thats just your wait for the game) you'd think developers would keep a closer eye or give more thought to completion dates....

Good thing it's getting delayed. More time for people to upgrade their computers...

I'll probably upgrade my comp for Enemy Territory: Quake Wars I'll probably spend loads of time playing that. And if it comes out before Crysis, which it most definitely will, I should be sorted for Crysis too. But I won't upgrade my comp JUST for Crysis... I mean, it'll probably only be entertaining for like 20 hours or so.

I hope for entertaining multiplayer, in my opinion it will be entertaining very much for quite a long time because multiplayer videos look fantastic and Power Struggle mode sounds promising to me. Of course you will be able to choose between playing Crysis, ETQW or UT2007 or just another MMO game, but Crysis will definitively be solid gaming multiplayer experience itself, i do not doubt that. It is gonna rock on both sides - singleplayer&multiplayer. Known multiplayer modes - Deathmatch, Team deathmatch (both include nanosuit and tactical ammo), Capture the Flag and Team Power Struggle. You will be able to buy vehicles, factories (??) in Power Struggle and you will combine f.e. alien INVISIBLE technology with your vehicle to make your brand new tank disapear from your enemy'sight. :D

Well, maybe...

I like FPS games set in a jungle environment, but FarCry's multiplayer was quite bare. It felt like a just a thing the developers implemented so that they had that on their features list. Truly great online shooters (such as Counter-Strike, Quake, Team Fortress, Enemy Territory, and dare I say Battlefield, even though I don't respect that game) take years of fine-tuning and testing to get right. I really don't see a singleplayer-focused project funded by EA that much time allocated for multiplayer polishing.

I just saw those videos of the CES footage. The game is looking really good. It looks ready for release to me. I wonder why the game is delayed... :?:
