Crysis official demo delayed :(

US, September 21, 2007 - 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.

Originally slated for a Sept. 25 release, the demo is now set for Oct. 26 and will come bundled with the CryEngine 2 - Sandbox 2 game editor, the company said.

"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.

Yerli called the inclusion of the CryEngine level editor a "big surprise" for gamers and something the company has planned to do for the Crytek gaming community for some time.

If game companies can't make release dates, I wish they would not announce them. All it does is get our hopes up and then crush them.

Not really seeing as that would be pushing back the full game, and with this they are only delaying the demo (at present).

Who cares. As long as the release isn't delayed, I'm happy (Y)

what the hell? The delay of a demo is totally different to delaying the full game.

I'd much rather Crytech delayed the demo to get the retail game out on time, rather than keep the demo on time, but have to delay the final game.

Clearing a few weeks for me to play halo 3 :D

What a pain in the ass. They should at least release some *free* beta keys if they want to delay the demo by a month.

and why exactly should they do that? Its easy to get onto the beta if you want to.
