Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli reporting:

"First, I am sorry for the bad news - the Crysis single player demo will now be available everywhere on October 26th, 2007.
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.

Now the good news - the big surprise. The SP demo will be released with our CryEngine 2 - Sandbox 2 game editor, giving the community the opportunity to get familiar with the vast amount of tools they will have at their disposal four weeks before we ship, something we have always wanted to do."

Sept 21, 2007 Is a mortgage-busting PC upgrade the only way to play Crysis? Will your humble rig handle Crytek's hugely ambitious shooterfest? Well, according to EA, who "accidentally" let slip the game's minimum system requirements, few people will struggle to get the game running. We're pretty shocked, given that just the thought of installing Crysis on our house Alienware has been giving us indigestion, worried as we are that the stunning visuals, environment effects and fluid action ... » Read More

Sept 14, 2007 If youve been eagerly following the news on Crysis, you may be getting tired of seeing more footage of the games opening level on the beach. Cryteks latest Crysis video is still showing off the same old area. But wait, this time theyre toggling the frost shader on and off. Be still our beating hearts. All sarcasm aside, Crysis still manages to look hot even with all that snowy weather. In our most recent preview we were particularly impressed with the way light reflected off the ... » Read More

Crytek would like to take the time and give you a global update on the multiplayer part of Crysis:

"As for the DX9 version we won't have physics and day and night cycle in-game. That means you won't be able to shoot down trees and/or alter any other objects than vehicles on the map. [...]

Rather than providing the community partially working features we limit this for the DX10 version only. Due to the strong hardware available with DX10, server load is less and performance is increased. [...]

Gamers with a DX10 card are able to play on DX9 servers, but with the limitation of the respective server. Vice versa it is not possible for gamers with DX9 cards to play on DX10 servers due to the limited features."

Aug 30 2007 Yes, it's fresh video evidence that Crysis is still one of the most exciting games heading to PC. Though, if we're going to engage our critical-nodes for a second, the visuals contained in this footage are slightly less eye-piercingly pretty than we had expected. That could be simply a matter of this scene taking place primarily on a beach - all open sands and barren rocks. No tumbling, awe-inspiring splintered tree physics here. Having said that, the powersuit functions still ... » Read More
