Crysis to Launch on September 11?

Efluxmedia.com reports:

"Gamers, rejoice! Thy God hath bestowed His merciful hand upon thy humble heads, and yes, thou shall be able to play Crysis this fall!

That's right, your prayers have been listened: after an eternity of waiting, numerous delays and jaw-dropping videos depicting CryENGINE 2's outstanding performances, EA has finally launched the Crysis official site, available at ea.com/crysis. BTW, you should all get the wallpaper and beware of the more detailed in-game movies…

But besides the novelty brought by the site's launch, there's one aspect we should all praise: Crysis is now scheduled for this autumn! (It's about time, Blizzard would say…) If you'll take a look at the "Features" section of the site, you'll notice that in the upper left corner of the screen there's a hint concerning the ship date, which is… you guessed it, "fall 2007"!

That doesn't necessarily remove the doubts that are still hovering over the highly-anticipated game (I've seen Crytek's developers saying that Crysis will come out in "early 2007"…), but it's still the first credible sign (since it's on the official site…) that Crysis is approaching the finish line. What more do you need when you have even the pre-orders section ready…

Speaking of pre-orders, Amazon is already offering the game indicating that the launch date is September 11! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this, but there you have it: the game will have a price of $49,99 and eager customers who pre-order it will also get a redemption code and instructions for downloading the unlockable "NK Amphibious APC"- a vehicle kept secret until now in all Crysis previews. EBGames and GameStop are also pointing to the fact that Crysis will land on stores' shelves as early as September 11, while Game.co.uk "postpones" the European debut all the way until September 14."

Don't think that counts as duplicate TnS, since this website has sourced from both the official website, and four other websites. In the article you provide it was very tentative, whereas this one provides many more sources in order to cement the date - sources of which I think PC owners will be interested in....since I know this increases my convidence muchly in the date September 11th for Crysis.

Thanks, Deep.

Wow, I thought it was a 2008 game. Cant wait but sadly I know my pc cant even run this game let along in all its DX10 glory.

The_Firestarter6914d ago

I will show my patriotism by buying Crysis, and kicking some North Korean ass!

j/k j/k

Honestly, I don't see anything wrong with this game being released on 9/11. Of course I will never forget what happened, but still, if a game is released on September 11th, then I don't see a big deal. People just think, because of the release date, buyers would completely forget the fact it IS Sept. 11th. If anything, it'll help them remember.

I hate how people get so pushed out of shape over small things as this, release date conflictions. Other than that, I mourn and pity the deaths of those poor victims. :(

Playing it right now looks amazing! :D
so much fun, i hope they make a vr mod for crysis 2 / 3 too!

DivineHand125498d ago

This is amazing. This is the direction VR should go in to boost adoption. Since I have beaten every Crysis except 1, this is now a good excuse to correct that problem.

Crytek Wanted Crysis To Be "Future-Proof"

According to Crytek CEO Cervat Yerli, "I want[ed] to make sure Crysis does not age, that [it] is future proofed, meaning that if I played it three years from now, it should look better than today." Yerli and the team designed Crysis' highest graphical settings for the PC hardware of 2010 and beyond.

While Crytek has officially announced Crysis 4 is in development, nothing new has surfaced. For now, gamers' only way to scratch that itch is to play the Crysis Remastered Trilogy available on PC and consoles.

OG 2007 Crysis (not the remastered weirdo), is & will forever be a legend amongst the PC community.

PrinceOfAnger503d ago

This video will always be impressive to me, even for years to come. Some things here are better than games we have today, OG crysis is the best version!

RaidenBlack503d ago

OG Crysis physics, man ... amazing! Thanks for the reminder!

PrinceOfAnger502d ago (Edited 502d ago )

Looks really nice with VR mod too

FinalFantasyFanatic503d ago

I'm still shocked that it looks as good as it does today, puts some modern games to shame.

Profchaos502d ago

I thought the remaster was fine tbh some rough edges at launch but after some patches it's decent

I mean the lighting and physics still hold up extremely well. I still revisit it from time to time.

RedDeadLB503d ago

That CPU performance thing is preventing it.

isarai502d ago

Yeah unfortunately Crystek's decision to bet on the linear progression of clock speed in CPUs was derailed by the unforseen shift towards multicore CPUs. It just wasn't built with that in mind because that wasn't even in the conversation at the moment

DivineHand125502d ago

I remember when I tried to play Crysis with my Intel Pentium Dual core E2200 @2.2GHz , 4GB ram and GeForce 9400gt. I was a kid back then and that was the best I could do. I would get about 15 to 20 fps. When I over clocked the CPU to 2.8GHz I would get about 40fps. The experience wasn't good at all and it was the only PC game I could not run back then unless and put the settings on low. At that point the game went from cutting edge graphics to PS2 graphics. To this day I haven't completed the OG Crysis. I was able to complete Crysis 2 and 3 after building a new PC when I got my first job.

HyperMoused502d ago

Never played it, worth a try you think?

Profchaos502d ago (Edited 502d ago )

Worth a try just because it's the only game that lets you pick up a turtle on the beach and throw it at enemy soldiers that should have been a back of the box feature.

But nah seriously unless you're nostalgic for it I'm not sure if it will hold up

Crytek went so overboard on the Crysis tech and sent devs to photograph leaves in Haiti

"The shader work that came out of this was mind-blowing at times."

RaidenBlack516d ago

Amazing, often misunderstood
The dumb AI was deliberate, so that the players can explore and experiment with the world and all the features.

vTuro24515d ago

It really is. Most people only remember it for its graphics but the gameplay was equally amazing.

RaidenBlack516d ago

Hope they try to pour nearly same amount of dedication to the new Crysis 4

DefenderOfDoom2516d ago

Well worth the extra work ! I enjoyed all 3 Crisis games and would also love a new one .

JunonZanon515d ago (Edited 515d ago )

Still wish game development was overall this passionate and minutious about their projects. Obviously, there are still some great studios as exceptions.

LikAChicken515d ago

I’ll never forget Far Cry 2 and the amount of details they packed in.

Yea there were some issues with the gameplay loop and the sickness aspect but you could tell they really tried to nail details.

DivineHand125515d ago

I haven't beaten the first Crysis but I did play Crysis 2 and Crysis 3. I know some PC players were annoyed by the last 2 games being developed with consoles in mind but I believe it was an improvement. I had a great time with Crysis 3 to the point where I believe it was too short.
