I'm sure TweakGuides will have their tweaks up for it in a week or two, they always do. Though it does (the demo) play fine at 1440x900 at medium settings on my laptops, I'm sure I'll be able to tweak it to get a bit more eye candy out of it.

mediuim settings look like crap. other stuff not-withstanding.

the visuals don't look as good as farcry cranked with HDR mod or oblivion.

I know that there is more too it. but it doesn't look as good.

I would disagree with that, I think the medium settings look about as good as FarCry, but the player models, in my opinion are better. Again, this is all judging from the demo, and not from the full game. My guess is that NVIDIA will release yet another further optimized driver for Crysis, and there will likely be more optimizations in the final game, along with the tweaks that we're likely to find to smooth out gameplay, and/or increase visuals without a huge performance hit.

As I said in the last Crysis thread, judging the whole game on the demo isn't fair. Play the full game, see what others who played the full game have to say, and THEN make your judgement. I think that, like I said above, when NVIDIA releases another further optimized driver for Crysis, TweakGuides comes out with their performance guide, and we see that the full game is (hopefully) better optimized than the demo (even if that's not the case, patches will improve it) things will look much better for Crysis. I found the demo pretty enjoyable, and I'm looking forward to getting the full game.

Well as most people know, EA once again has mislead it's customers by providing an email that states early release of the product, but fails to mention "oh we just meant for preload".

various forums are ablaze with seething hatred for EA right now. They issued an apology for the miscommunication, but people aren't buying it after the SP demo mess they created.

EA is one of the shittiest companies I've ever dealt with in my life. They bring out some of the worst optimized trash the gaming world has ever seen. IE: BF2-BF2142-Crysis

Most people don't have the money to waste on a game that will barely run on anything less than the top 5% of systems

Steam is so much better... Yeah it's just an encrypted preload. Their email pissed off a lot of ppl because they stayed up watching the download expecting to play it lol.

What's really ticked me off lately about EA is they now put a time limit on the purchased downloads so a few months later if you need to DL again your SOL

Wow... Just... Wow...

See, Steam had an issue like this when Half-Life 2 was released for preload, but they didn't do something as stupid as EA and make everyone TRULY THINK that the game was released, Steam just quietly downloaded the HL2 files in the background... Like a game-ninja... I laugh at EA's stupidity.

EA Games were good years ago, but these days they do make garbage as in Buggy games

Dunno what you're all talking about. My P1 laptop with 64 megs of RAM runs Crysis flawlessly. Get with the times.
