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_Firestarter6200d 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. :(

No one cares. The whole can it run Crysis is old, dead and stupid. It's also irrelevant, considering only less than one percent of pc owners, own a high-end PC. Second, I believe Crysis wasn't even optimized properly.

TheColbertinator442d ago

Crysis blew my mind back then and still kinda does.

Let's hope the modders can get the other Crysis games working in VR as they use the same Cryengine.

Bioshock still looks fantastic, one of my all time favorites.

Yui_Suzumiya514d ago

Beyond: Two Souls on PS3 can compete with modern day graphics.

SonyStyled513d ago (Edited 513d ago )

Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3

jasonismoney513d ago

I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.

SonyStyled513d ago

@jason I watched some gameplay videos of KZ2 and R3 on my full screen. They are on par or succeed graphically to the first person shooters mentioned in the article that also launched on the seventh generation of consoles. Try the same and see what you think

cthulhucultist513d ago

Killzone 3 was super impressive! I could not believe the graphics back then as I was regularly pausing the game to stand in awe looking at the surroundings! Resistance however did not impress me that much. Heavy rain is also another amazing graphically speaking game. It almost felt next gen

Fist4achin514d ago

I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.

SonyStyled513d ago

They did for their day. I recently played gears judgement with on the 360 and the draw distance was so blurry. The characters up close look great though

JEECE513d ago

Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.

iNcRiMiNaTi513d ago

It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good

JEECE513d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.

Can It Run Crysis? The Only Steam Deck Question That Matters

Digital Foundry: "When Alex Battaglia got his hands on a Steam Deck, this was inevitable, right? So can the Steam Deck really run Crysis? And if so, what type of optimised settings produce the best performance? What's the best balance of features and battery life... and what about 60fps?"
