"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, ****** 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. ******** and ******** are also pointing to the fact that Crysis will land on stores' shelves as early as September 11, while ****.co.uk “postpones” the European debut all the way until September 14."

In the past week It seems all the big game sites in America have updated there sites to a September 11th release, I also had the game on pre order with a big retailer and got an email stating the release was now scheduled for the 14th September. Surely enough I checked other big websites and they all had updated there sites from TBA to the 14th, With E3 around the corner I'd be expectinfg some firm dates to come out soon :cool: . Rock on!

Can't see your message from the floor.

Ontopic: Real tempted to pre-order this and cancel QW :eek: I don't have much money :rolleyes:

Don't know what to do, probobly stick with QW and play Crysis and a rich friends house with his uber pc.

:eek: Crysis > QW anyday of the week. :D
 
well bioshock and ut2007 better get a move on otherwise its gonna be like hl2, farcry was released and stole all the thunder from hl2 and other games. if bioshock and ut2007 can't come out before crysis its really gonna eat into thier sales.

UT3 :p





Last rumour I heard was that UT3 was going to be nearer Xmas, so I imagine if that is the case and Crysis releases this early that most of the buzz around Crysis would have died down by the UT3 release date.

You give the HL2 example, HL2 still ended up being a far more popular game than Farcry, so I wouldn't count Bioshock and UT3 out yet.

9/11 in the US? Not exactly wise, really but woot!

Everyone has gotten over that now, and many films, games and events have been rolled out on 9/11 in the years since 2001.

I really do hope the 9/11 figure turns out to be true.
