Title: Crysis Beta
Post by: Miasma on September 13, 2007, 06:30:15 AM
Just a heads up that Crysis multiplayer is now in beta, it is currently in the fileplanet subscribers only phase (http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/crysis/beta/temp_closed.aspx) though :x.  The single player demo comes out on the 25th too.

You know, you'd think some marketing exec somewhere would realize to not release their anticipated games with a bunch of anticipated game releasing at the same time, in an industry where money is made in the first 3 months.

On that note.  I can't play this yet because my computer is crap.

Yeah I can't believe this.  I'm not really even a huge fan of FPS games but over the next couple of months it seems like I'll be buying a half dozen because they are all fantastic, and they are all coming out at the same damn time.  Quake Wars, Crysis, Unreal, Call of Duty, I'm even going to finally take the plunge and install steam to buy Team Fortress 2.  I'd call Hellgate an FPS too...

Exactly.

It seems like someone stands to make more money if they release 3 months later.  Especially since they are all in the same genre.
