OK, just finished it. Damnit, that was so brief :D :( Loved the game. MOstly used invisible + speed to get around guys. I thought the facial animations were almost as good as those in half life 2. Also loved the tranq bullet.
Played about 20-40 fps @ 1440x900 with almost all on high, several on medium.
I didnt quite like the fact it took around 4 bullets or even more into the body to bring the guy down, especially from longer ranges. I understand they want to make the game fun, but some were just rediculous. I think Combine in Ep1 are very good at damage absorbtion being realistic.
Final thoughts: loved and would definetly get it :)
EDIT: DX10 64 bit
Tip #2 Give yourself better stats.!
Browse to default: C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis SP Demo\Game\Config There are several config files. The ones we are interested in is:
diff_easy.cfg, diff_normal.cfg, diff_hard.cfg, diff_bauer.cfg Make a back up of any file before editing.
Open one of the cfg files with wordpad and look for the sections: Player Health/Energy/Suit Change the values to:
g_suitCloakEnergyDrainAdjuster = 0
g_suitRecoilEnergyCost = 0
g_suitSpeedEnergyConsumption = 0
g_suitSpeedMult = 2
g_suitArmorHealthValue = 400.0
g_playerSuitArmorModeHealthRegenTime = 0
g_playerSuitArmorModeHealthRegenTimeMoving = 0
g_playerSuitHealthRegenTime = 0
g_playerSuitHealthRegenTimeMoving = 0
g_playerSuitHealthRegenDelay = 0
g_playerSuitEnergyRechargeTimeArmor = 0
g_playerSuitEnergyRechargeTimeArmorMoving = 0
g_playerSuitEnergyRechargeTime = 0
g_playerSuitEnergyRechargeDelay = 0
g_playerHealthValue = 400.0
Then save the file, load up a new game and see your new power.
Need something like this to NPC :D

Guys, at what part of the demo were you suppose to drive a boat? :confused:
I saw some pics of driving a boat and I finished the demo without doing that.
any time you want
Small SPOILER. Kind of. :p
Played around with this gent in the editor, and had the RL. very, very eerie. Nicely set up by Crytek. :)

Didn't you see my post??!
Let me quote myself:
Jonelo tell me how you do it god damnit!! :cry:
How do you record videos to put up on Stage6!? I've was fighting with Virtual Dub and DivX Converter for 3 full hours yesterday before I finally gave up. Stage6 will only accept DivX format moveis, well Virtual Dub won't encode the DivX 6.7 codec compression, it don't think I recorded in a res that satisfied the restrictions "Width must be a multiple of 4" and "Height must be a multiple of 2", I recorded in the res 1152*864. WTF! :(

Trying the level Pak now, great looking site btw. And thanks for your effort.
EDIT: Demo won't load with the level Pak..too bad, I'd love to try those weapons.
I just did a fresh install then placed my files in there and loaded the level fine with the new added weapons, I don't know why its not working for you. Anyone else try it? -http://www.extremeevolutions.com/crysis/crysis_demo_tips.htm

Game has great potential , but it runs like ass. I can't understand why either because people whom played it at game conventions said it ran like butter. I even tried turning AA off... Whats the tweaks that people are using?

Speak for yourself bro:rolleyes: Runs great for me under Vista DX10 at 30-50FPS and even better under DX9 Using ini tweaks to make it look like DX10.
Check my thread to see for yourself-

Bull ;)
I've tried the tweaks that's supposed to give you all the DX10 goodies in DX9, and while you have just about as good looking water and sunrays in trees, that's just about all you get. I don't think the textures looks nearly as sharp up close and the overall lightning looks much nicer in genuine DX10 mode unfortunately. Also I haven't seen any proof that the added amount of objects and vegetation from DX10 is evident in the DX9 tweak. And DX9 + tweaks still gives us Q6600/8800GTX owners 20-35 FPS which is still too low for a smooth experience. The DX9 mode + tweaks may be the best solution we have now, and IMO the game runs acceptable, but we REALLY need G90 now IMO...

I not know the solution for this problem . Zeus666 has one marvellous tutorial about the /FRAPS/VIRTUALDUB /STAGE6. ;) , talk you to him ;)
A problem exists with the sound of the Fraps, the sound has to be in MP3 and estéreo, Stage does not admit multichannel .
An alternative program is DxDivx, but it does not work in Vista correctly. Other one is the Divx Conversor

Ok ZEUS666 PLEASE RESPOND!! :)
So just tell me, how do you convert your raw FRAPS footage and at which settings/compression, how do you get around the required 2-channel sound etc.?
Bull ;)

Ummm...... did you bother to look at my post at all? Obviously not because my Frame Rate is much much better than 20-35fps:rolleyes:
Hell even under DX10 in either 32bit or 64bit its better than that.
Im not trying to imply that the tweaks make it 100% IDENTICAL to DX10. Im only implying that their are certain options which can be enabled in DX9 that were thought to be DX10 only options.
Oh well.........the demo runs like butter for me in either DX10 or DX9 with the ini tweaks so thats all I really care about anyway. Im not sure whats up with some of you other people who are running this demo at 10-15fps on modern hardware unless you running AA and all options at Very High Settings. Some of you need to actually take some time to figure out which settings work the best for you. I had this demo running great after the first 10 minutes of messing around with the options.

Loads fine for me now, go figure...Don't know what I did wrong before. :o

You said that we don't need the G90 now. The point was that I disagree wholeheartedly.

Well I certainly would not object to one coming out anytime soon because some AA in Crysis would be nice.;)
Well I've just completed the demo and DAMN.. I can't believe it ends that way >.< Anyhoo, looks like this one's gonna be a killer. Up there with bioshock and the rest, and probably better as long as the gameplay time is over 10 hours or so. I was running everything on medium and textures @ high (med textures look like crap but do make the game run significantly smoother). 1680x1050, 8800GTS. Local videomemory usage peaked at 311 (yikes!!) but luckily nothing my GTS320 couldn't swallow :)
I like it - it's got that same tactical feeling that Far Cry did, just with more ways to use your abilities and your environment. A truly dynamic game if i've seen one yet. Besides performance (which is happily over 30fps 90% of the time) I can see no real faults to this game. Forget the retail potential, mod potential is out of this world O.o A definite game to buy!

You should try the Tank with Tac gun... a "little" bit more powerful :captnkill:

Well I'd buy it for a playable DX10 mode. Sure you can tweak yourself to the prettier water and sunrays in DX9, but that's really all you get.

Like I said earlier, its perfectly playable in DX10 for me at 1680X1050 all settings at high except for Water at Very high and Textures at Very high.
30+FPS in Vista 64 DX10 and Vista 32.
Im not so sure whats up with some of you other people who cant play it in DX10 unless its your hardware.

You are still talking about a tweaked DX9, not genuine DX10.

I'm glad this game comes with preset button setting for the 360 controller, I plugged mine in and was able to play the game through my HDTV. It's much better, 30 fps now looks smooth as hell. Plus the surround sound is amazing.

I definently feel the same, the sound positioning in Crysis is among the best I've ever heard :)
