[...] you go. Jim really dug Crysis but I have to say I didn’t particularly get on with it, bar milking the demo for all it was worth. While I’m not expecting great changes from Warhead, I’m hoping this time I’ll [...]

This added a few hours of fun:
This german guy Sile made a modified demo-map that has all weapons, more enemies, the chopper,tanks and an alien(!) wich you get to fight.

Its the one called Demo Funmap#5

Instllation says to replace the Level.pak file located in:
Crysis SP Demo\Game\Levels\island
with the one from the download. Save the original somewhere.

Try seeing how far you can survive while carrying the flare on the beach at the landing zone. It’s quite difficult, at least on Delta.

I think for the most part I find a simple FPS lacking in depth, because I’ve played many hybrid FPS/RPG or MMOs.

Once I was a plain FPS fanatic, enjoying the simple playstyle of a, point A to point B, and kill whatever you see along the way, game.

Now I want to be able to free roam, talk an interact with NPCs, pick up stuff (drop stuff), tame the wildlife, sit in chairs, steal cars/boats/planes, and almost anything else I can think of.

So one day, EA may simply decide to make one game engine, where all the individual developers work on a compatible plugin-game system, Where I can hop in my car (or someone else’s) and head off through the city to the drift racing, then jump in a stolen fighter jet and head to a desert island to shoot some koreans, afterwards go watch a game of soccer and control the players.

Then I will no longer need Real life.

Well heck, I just spent another 2 hours playing AGAIN. This time going very much for the GTA style of play. Funny how it’s easy to run out of vehicles so quickly in Crysis… or perhaps that’s just my shite driving?

I think the last time I spent so much time on a “demo” would have to be the shareware release of Blood!

(P.S. I don’t see any point playing GTA any more: the driving in Crysis is a lot more satisfying, and you cannot destroy buildings in GTA. Instant win to Crytek.)

Thelps, I can sympathise. I’ve already spent about 3+ hours on this demo, plus another half hour just moving around in Sandbox (not much else to see on this Island map btw, the aliens are in there but disappear “in-game”). I haven’t been so psyched for a game since Bioshock (and System Shock 2 before it).

Unless the rest of the game turns out to be resolutely linear, I forsee 9/10 ratings all over the place, on release.

I agree that stuff like not being able to easily move a dead body is kind of a downer. Still, the only reason we complain about any of this is because Crysis in the first place is far more free and open than other shooters. You only discover your limits when you’re able to push them, or something.

See, now I resolutely refuse to download the demo simply because people keep saying how fun it is. If people said it was ‘meh’ or crap then I would download it, to see if it appealed to me and if the full version was worth it, but since it looks like a damned good laugh, I don’t want to spoil the game by milking the demo dry.

Odd mentality, I know.

I modified my easy settings. I set it not use an power for cloak or run. (havn’t got strength working yet) I swam at high speed while diving deep as I could and made it out to the destroyers. You can’t get on them sadly. you can jump but you can not jump high enough to get on the boat. There is also no crew on board and the destroyers will stop firing missiles when you get too close

to modify your game, open diff_easy.cfg in notepad (or equivalent) in this folder
C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis SP Demo\Game\Config
you can change how much health you have, options, reaction time of enemies, suit energy costs etc.

Bah, curse my rubbish typing (and the lack of an edit option).

Having tracked through the initial valley in the darkness that gradually becomes dawn, incredibly atmospheric I must say. I come to the top of the rise and come and look down at the enemies I face.

I access the situation, crawl through the long grass whilst cloacked. Finding my perfect vantage spot I take careful aim ane start shootin’ chickens.

“buuuuuck”
