No Crysis 2 demo for PC owners
The game's developer Crytek has mostly been a PC exclusive development studio with the original Far Cry, the original Crysis and Crysis Warhead all made just for the PC. Crysis 2 is the first game from the developer that was made specifically as a multiplatform game release. It's CEO Cevat Yerli has been vocal about his issues with releasing PC games due to piracy. Meanwhile Crysis 2 is currently due to ship out on March 22.

and you think they will not pirate the console versions? damn idiots at ea thats ok i won't be buying the game if i can't try a demoPosted at 9:24PM on Jan 21st 2011 by shawn
F**k you EA. And GG, CEO of Crytek, just blame it all on piracy. Stupid f**ks just be honest and say that you're greedy. Posted at 10:00PM on Jan 21st 2011 by EA
Wait, have you confirmed that there wont be ANY demo on the PC or just no multiplayer demo? there is a difference. Crysis at least had a single player demo.Posted at 11:47PM on Jan 21st 2011 by frags
im lil bit sad too, but we cant do nothing ! No NFSHP Demo, Dead Space 2 Demo and now this, no Crysis 2 demo .. this would be so damn great if they will release it to PC too :'/
And others are right, ofc the console versions will be pirated soon and PC's also ! Look around, we have so much Hardcore PC Gamers around us, who hates X360 and PS's. We just love PC Gaming and thats all..It seems, there are no love/respect for the PC anymore..im not talking any bullsh*t, its just my opinion.
AT LEAST, Dead Space will arrive in 4-5 days and let the horror begin ! Posted at 3:49AM on Jan 22nd 2011 by b00ze
Not sure where they're coming from anymore. Piracy rate on Xbox is nearly as bad as it is on PC. With the recent hardware PS3 crack, that system is sure to follow. Posted at 7:19PM on Jan 22nd 2011 by Human1
FUCK!
I agree everyone here, EA is freaking idiots, releasing games on all consoles will just make things worse.
Right now Dead Space 2 is already pirated (Don't ask me how it already is, just found out) and it was mainly on the 360, about 2-4 for PS3 and 1-3 for PC.
Now Crysis 2 WILL face the same thing since it's multiplatformed, and that there are lots of 360 players around now.Posted at 5:39AM on Jan 26th 2011 by David
Not that I would have bought the game anyway, as I am not into the Crysis series, but I have a solution to them.
No demo? No buying.
There have been games I have been interested in that the companies haven't put demos out on purpose. If they want to do that, then I can just not buy their games.Posted at 8:17PM on Jan 23rd 2011 by Drakkenfyre
im gonna download the Demo on my 360 but i still think its bullsh*t that there wont be any demo on the pc
I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A PC THAT COULD RUN IT THOUGH!Posted at 9:41AM on Jan 24th 2011 by Elias
It's ridiculous. They blame piracy yet they don't release a demo? They are giving pirates excuses to download it.
Demos are the one thing that pirates can't criticize and they release them only for the "piracy-free" (sarcasm) platforms.
I love the first Crysis and Warhead, but this game seems to have changed a lot, so I would really like to try it out before I decide to pay 60 dollars for it (which I think is too expensive for a game, but EA seems to have set 60 as the standard price for everything now).Posted at 6:21PM on Jan 24th 2011 by The Man
it they blam piracy then why dont they have the dowload of the demo on steam. then you would have record of buying games.Posted at 7:56PM on Jan 24th 2011 by ckynick254
absolute bull$hit. PC Gamers have gotten you where you are today, and this is how you repay that audience? Not gonna pay for your products ever again.Posted at 6:49AM on Jan 25th 2011 by brandon
Fine by me. I'll just pirate the game on PC so I can try before I buy. Get Fucked EA!Posted at 10:21PM on Jan 24th 2011 by Yaar
piracy has run rampud on all systems..but right now the xbox is the most secure..heck the ps3 is hacked so wide open you could install a xbox game sign it with the ps3 sigkey and play it...not really but almost that far...
but the way ea has done all there games for xbox and ps3 now you get 2 days of a free online trial...and if you didnt buy the game you wont have the code so you have to buy the online code from them so..they are smart they have found a way to still get paid from the pirates...and im sure there will be a demo for crysis 2 on every version.just to start right now it is a closed beta on xbox..Posted at 4:15PM on Jan 25th 2011 by inkdmn
See EA this is what you get when you piss of your primary community. Now all of us are just going to pirate your game because you fucked us over. I downloaded the demo for the xbox I hated it because i hate the xbox controller I sucked at it to. All these kids were making it boring and stupid because they were always killing me before I even saw them. If i had a key board and my computers GRAPHICS card they wouldn't be able to kill me and the graphics wouldn't be BUGGY. You guys wouldn't believe how much the graphics glitch in the game or miss render. Posted at 1:44PM on Jan 25th 2011 by Arez
This is sickening, they would be NO WHERE without the PC gaming community, I've bought every game I own and me and every single other honest gamer is being published because of some stupid minority! it's true, Xbox and Ps3 have massive piracy rates, just like PC! No freaking demo... what are they planning? Something similar to Mass Effect Two? We have background programs running all the time or something? I'm not going to pay for this game... fuck that... I've paid for every game until now but this just takes the piss... You just know it's going to come with ridiculous Digital Rights Software as well..Posted at 6:01PM on Jan 25th 2011 by Arroz
To Cevat: PUT THIS GAME ON STEAM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. LOOK AT SALES FIGURES FOR INDIE GAMES ON STEAM WHICH ARE SELLING AS MANY UNITS AS ESTABLISHED AAA TITLES. PLACE ADVERTISEMENTS FOR IT ALL OVER STEAM.
It will sell well. Get over the piracy crap. Learn how to market your game. Posted at 1:33AM on Jan 26th 2011 by JJ
I just wanted to add my voice to this. Fuck EA and Fuck Crytek. I bought Crysis as soon as I heard it was out, no demo, just went out and bought it. That's how sure I was about it, and it was great. This probably will be too. But guess what... I'm not buying it.
Bad enough that a Crysis game's not PC exclusive anymore, they had to stick that middle finger in the air to the PC users that got them there and give the XBox users the right to play it first. Fuck, I hate just typing that! There's some little twitchy XBox cunt enjoying a game that I helped fund the creation of with my purchase of the first one.
Fuck Crytek. UNACCEPTABLE. I'm so pirating this. I'm going to go out of my way to pirate it as soon as possible and spread it around my friends so that they are less likley to buy it either.Posted at 3:45AM on Jan 26th 2011 by FractalCore
Yeah i agree , who the fuck skips pc ? you do realise crysis was first on pc ? now gay xbox is getting a demo ? ewww who the fuck wants to play crysis 2 on their xbox u idiots . Release a pc demo , ill just dl the torrent anyway .. Just cos youse pissed me off i aint buying this game .Posted at 9:49AM on Jan 26th 2011 by CHRIS
Multiplayer demo on pc would have been nice , would defintaly have helped me decide whether or not to buy this game .. Instead i got to watch xbox 360 demo vids on youtubee .. I could be playing this on my xfire 6970's but instead someone is happily playing crysis 2 on their shit xbox360 .. NOT FAIR CRYTEK !!! PC gamers have been waiting a long time for this and you ripped us off thanks alot .Posted at 9:55AM on Jan 26th 2011 by CHRIS
