ET:QW vs Crysis demo

(SCi-Fi) #1

This is a close race but which do you think will release 1st!!

(BondyBoy007) #2

but, more importantly, who is bothered about crysis?

^^ what he said

who cares about crysis? single player might rock graphically, multiplayer will suck gameplay-wise

(Carwash) #4

QW will be out first, Crysis will be an awesome single player, but wont come close to being as good as QW for multiplayer

I’ve never heard of Crysis :oops:

Cyrsis and ET:QW are hard to compare since they are built for two completely different experiences. From everything we’ve seen and read the system requirements for Crysis are ridiculously high atm, where ET:QW has gone the better route of not alienated the vast majority of less then optimal computers.

In addition Crysis is built on a new engine where ET:QW is built on a modified version of a 5-6 year old engine…frankly comparing the two is more like apples and oranges.
On top of this Crysis as i understand is going to focus far more on a the singleplayer aspect offline which IMO is a bit easier to get looking spectacular since alot of issues are solved when you come offline and make a mostly single player game. Either way they will both be great games…just geared i think towards a different gaming demographic.

Quake Wars is developed as a Multiplayer game exclusively, Crysis isn’t. Would be hard and unfair to make comparisons, but the OP didn’t ask which would be better, he asked which would be first, and thus I have to swing my vote to Quake Wars. The game has already been opened to limited play testing and early registration. I haven’t seen anything tangible from Crytek other than videos.

I don’t know about ETQW though. Today, ETQW will be ready for release. Tomorrow the game will be bug ridden, the day after that, the game will only have one bug, the day after the day after that, the game will be so incomplete that it doesn’t even run on the computer.

The game completion process is IMO dynamic, as when a bug is fixed, others may pop up. It may be more or it may be less.

I just wish SD would say the game is done at the highest peak, but not taking too much time to do so. An analogy is like getting to work on a train. You board the first train right? No matter how dirty the train is?

What EA is doing is going to the station, and jumping on the tracks because the trains are actually game completion oportunities that are missed because one single minor bug that can be patched or ignored had to be fixed and hosting even more bugs.

I’m irritated now because I don’t have a Quake Wars to play with.

So it is fair game between Crysis and Quake Wars.

Well it’s hot outside and I’m sweating like hell. The freakin air is also humid and I’m itchy.

But seeing the date as “When it’s done” and not June, or Summer, or Q3 2007, makes it seem like the game is not even close to being done. So therefore the release of ETQW and Crysis demo can go either way.

I dont care as its something to discuss as everything has been talked abt
and its now just a case of when the frecking game is gonna be released!

Downloaded w:et and need to find the game now, havent a clue where i
put it since the move…pffffffft!!!

as far as Crysis goes, I’m more interested in the editor than the game, looks like more fun to me

Must be that time in the month again lol
j/k(sorry, I had to)

But seriously, I heard that Crysis is also going to have some sort of team multiplayer based around classes. That plus a kick ass singleplayer and QW has got himself some decent competition. And don’t forget about UT3. SD should really wrap this up by the end of June. Never mind the community getting tired of waiting, the competition is about to release their games as well, I don’t think SD can afford to delay anymore.

Yeah, Splash Damage is going through a tough deal here.

Based on what this guy says, if he is allowed to say anything, Splash Damage is in deep doodle and will have to try to perfect the game even more and try to outcompete Crysis and UT3. He says something about the server side something is unstable and it takes so much time to complete, and why SD isn’t taking any chances to give a loose release date.

I think the guy who posted on the forums, and the guy who posted the link on the totalquakewars forums, and myself for posting it here and in the community forums are in deep doodle. I don’t really think we are allowed to talk about the beta test experience because of NDA, but I don’t know if it is the experience we aren’t allowed to talk about, or is it screenshots, or just talking about how the game works. But based on that info I found from some guy in the totalquakewars forums, whom he put the link I put above, ETQW isn’t as complete as we expected.

If work on the game was completed you would be playing it already, Splash Damage are not just sitting on it to make you wait longer you know :slight_smile:

(Gringo) #17

Lies, it was finished months ago. The devs have just got addicted to readin the stupid posts that spring up here and are therefore delaying it! It might never come out so long as we constantly speculate on it and talk nonsense, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

(Flesh) #18

They like everyones attention so much theyre thinking of delaying another 6 months lol

(SCi-Fi) #19

all i can say is that if UT3 comes out they are gonna lose a hell of allot of
customers, if they were finished when 2142 came out they would of
mopped up, as for now there are allot of juicey onliners coming out…
well a couple, but them couple are AAA products!!!

I think Quake Wars, because it’s done and they are testing and perfecting it. Crysis seems like hype and some sort of tool to make people build crazy rigs and buy vista for DX10, so it might not release for awhile. They even sell the 3D engine and the game isn’t even out yet. It’s like halo 3 (which looks like halo 1)… a fishing line.
