Crysis - Delayed - Now Q3 2007 or later ??

Post by **g00seberry** » 09 Jan 2007, 16:09

It's just hit Alpha stage so everything is now "complete". Should be out March time-ish but if anything goes wrong then it might be delayed till Christmas which would be a travesty!

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... :?:

They are tuning the code = optimizing the performance, they are probably doing some finishing touches to the storyline, multiplayer etc.

This is positive:

Surprisingly, the systems at the show weren't too unreasonable. We were told the game was running on a single-core high-end CPU with the latest Nvidia graphics card, and the frame rate was smooth for the most part. Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli told us that the game still has plenty of optimization work to go through.

So if i plan to buy Dx10 card, it should not matter, that i have only AMD X2 4600+, i will be able to enjoy the game (depending on the card i'll choose and resolution i will use / i would love to use 1680x1050 :-)) on full or nearly full details.

PS Dx10 is different to Dx9, it is gonna be optimized, so although it uses Shader Model 4 which would make the game run slower than on XP (SM3), i believe the game will make use of different, performance optimized Dx10 architecture, and you will not notice any negative difference in framerate while running the game with better visuals and superior details on Dx10. I inwardly hope for even better performence on Dx10 with Dx10 card on Vista then on XP. But maybe i am just too otimistic.

Alpha to Gold doesn't take mere 2 months for software of this scale. Q3 2007 sounds like a way more reasonable estimate. Not even Electronic Arts pushes their stuff through Beta that quickly. :p

Release-Date:
Q1 2007

Taken from Crytek's Site.

Gamespot says March 07

And Crysis-Online have recently updated their game info to "May 07" across all territories.

Lets hope Gamespot is the Correct one :D

Well, in here http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=71621 they say:

Even in its pre-alpha state, PC shooter Crysis looks absolutely knock-out, especially to the general consumer crowd.

When's it going to be finished?

"As soon as possible." He's still smiling. "We're hoping this year, but we're not making any commitments or promises at this time."

You can never believe the release dates posted by online stores. I would say that the May date is more realistic.

And performance... (before final optimalization)

http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=36803
The game was running in DirectX 10 mode on 32-bit Vista. The code may still have some infant illnesses but it looks great on a G80, Geforce 8800 GTX, Core 2 duo and it provides 60 FPS+, at almost all times. It certainly works and looks much better than Rainbow [buggy] Six Vegas.

Well someone would like to ask, in what resolution? Noone knows it certainly except for those that did not mention it. I just can guess.. from the videos. Did they mean this ws Dell LCD? Can someone tell what size is it and what is its native resolution?

You will see it better in the videos. If they meant 1680x1050 or 1920x1080, highest possible quality and with 2xAA it would be fantastic.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_6Hog0P8M8
EDIT: Youtube CES 2007 Crysis video showing , that there were probably (in my point of view) 20"widescreen LCDs, so i guess it was being played there in 1680x1050.

Another thing to mention: Mind the hud, it is compressed on widescreens so far.

And one more thing regarding release date:
http://www.destructoid.com/ces-2007-our-crysis-gameplay-29158.phtml
"..they've been working on the game for two and a half years so far, and that the game will be out in 2007. We ask for a month and he says summer or winter, making it clear he's not sure, so I don't expect it coming out until the end of the year."

Lets hope for Q2.

I just asked about widescreen support in Crysis on inCrysis forums here:

Damn that looks fun. I don't want to see more vids because I get more and more excited after each new vid :lol: :P .

I think it is only the radar that is compressed horizontally in recent vids ... I think it is meant to be like that.
If it were compressed vertically or stretched horizontally (like in BF2) I would be concerned.

It is interesting however that there are not many new screenshots to be found that have a HUD on them.

Oh ...and that -non widescreen pic on that post on inCrysis forums look very much like widescreen to me and how the game is currently looking ... ie. compressed radar but correct circle for scopes.

-non widescreen

Just some thoughts ... :wink:

Videointerview, where JM (Crysis team) says, that he hopes that the game will be published this year and "new feature" on the same site showing the progress of Crysis makes me believe, that we should expect the game to come out on Christmass 2007 most probably.

But who knows? Maybe they will make in 1st half of 2007.

misadlouhy · Post by **misadlouhy** » 12 Jan 2007, 20:09

This sounds interesting, doesn't it?

In an earlier article, it was reported that Crysis was running at 60+ fps for most of the time at CES 2007. In this new article, Jack Mamais tells techspot that the game is running at a resolution of 2048x1536...

I'm predicting that a mid-range DX10 card (8600GT / X2600XT) will run Crysis in DX10 better than any current DX9 rig running Crysis in DX9.
