    I thought the Sept 11th release was weird for Crysis. Maybe more optimization time?

    I know, it got delayed once again.

    Hopefully this date is firm.

    There are going to be tons of great game releases this fall and winter.

    You can play Crysis Demo already. Its been floating around recently.

    Its 1.5gigs, a beta demo.

    I already have been playing it for a week now. Playable with my 7800GTX @ WUXGA and low-mid settings.

    If you're kidding, thats not funny.

    I can see some torrents, but I don't trust torrents claiming to be things that aren't out yet. Do you have a link?

    Thats scary. Hopefully I will be able to play it in med settings in WXGA. I can't imagine any game in WUXGA.

    the 7800gtx has a 256bit bus

    the 8600gt has 128 bit

    therefore, one can assume that performance will be similar at wxga



    just don't try to run crysis at 1680x1050+ as the 8600gt scales worse as the resolution goes up due to the buss

    WXGA = 1024000 pixels
    WUXGA = 2304000 pixels..

    I guess so.

    Nope, I just found it. Of course I can't play it on my 2.53 Ghz P4 with 1 gig of ddr2100 and a 128mb 9800 pro.

    anything you see on bittorent is fake. If there was really a leaked playable demo, then I wouldn't have heard about it today if it was available a week ago..

    you have no idea....

    IRC is your best friend... not http or torrents (and other P2P's). ;)

    Welcome to uberhype. You will now be spammed with "PAST LINK OR GTFO" or "GIMME LINK NOW!" Look what you've started. :D

    i'll give you a clue though.

    If you are looking up torrents.... i bet 99.99% are fake.

    Especially if the size is 1.4gigs-ish.... I know the idiots that cooked that up (on IRC).... its all binary 0's.... they wanted to get LOL's from ppl that downloaded it. (at least this time its not gay pr0n or a virus).

    EDIT: do not ask me more than that, if anyone gets confirmed on having the Crytek Alpha's or Beta's... thats liability for them on someone stealing (or having possession) of the game's unprotected coding. I may be a gamer and enthusiast, but I have a good enough background in law and business law to know not to past the line. I'll leave it at that.

    P.S. This year's E3 events also give another clue on the demo.

    so everything is kept lowkey? I see. At least it's not as big as Half Life 2's source code being stolen

    edit: gophn you shouldn't have said anything, lol

    I have a feeling Gophn is just trying to rouse some excitement... and it worked. Because the moment he said it I went looking in all my sources for it.

    Nothing found. There's no leak. There would've been a much larger reaction.

    That's what it is, though. If it's floating around on irc servers, or wherever you said you got it from, then it's not official.

    oh yeah if crysis was available, there would be big news about it.

    think "half life 2 leak".

    plus, there would be "youproof" - youtube proof with people playing the game, showing the mouse, maybe writing down their screen name, all on camera without a cut.

    I never said anything about it being on IRC... I am just an old skooler that would recommend IRC over the P2P's

    I'll just say one last thing:

    I used to beta for Westwood, EA, etc... (and I attend E3 with industry badge).. so you think about that. :)

    Right. Now let's rewind the thread back into the no-bs days.

    We will begin the conversation starting from this post:
    Oh, and to everyone else: information about the real beta will be released so. Someone from Crysis commented about it earlier today telling everyone something was coming soon.
