Crysis Demo to be released

The single-player demo for Crysis, the upcoming first-person shooter from Crytek, has been pushed back a month, the Frankfurt, Germany-based developer and publisher EA said Friday.

The Crysis demo was originally slated for a September 25 release. However, the demo is now set for an October 26 release and will come bundled with the CryEngine 2 - Sandbox 2 game editor, Crytek said. The game will be released in November and is published by EA games.

“We are 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,” said Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli. “This is an exciting time for us at the studio as the development of Crysis comes to an end and we are only a few weeks from Gold Master.”

Set in 2019 after an asteroid crashes to Earth, Crysis takes place during a tense military standoff between the North Korean and United States governments for control of the impact zone. The grahpics are great and it uses DirectX 10. According to Crytek, you will need at least a graphics card with 256MB of video memory and 1GB of RAM on your PC.

This highly anticipated game demo, to be released on 25th September, will certainately have an impact on the PC gaming crowd out there. Being the first game to fully utilize DirectX 10, it will certainately be well-recieved, but that still remains to be seen.
