im not sure if this is just talking about the xbox and ps3 versions or also the pc, if so, that sucks a bit.

Well I suppose its for the best if the end result of a better and more optimized game.

Apparently PC is still on course for November?

EDIT: MC could be wrong,

Oh well, guess will make it easier for people who could not decide between Crysis and this.

Mind you, not sure it would be a surprise if Crysis got more delays.

mohawk · 3 Oct 2007 at 12:53

has crysis itself been delayed? i thought that was just the single player demo

willhub · 3 Oct 2007 at 12:55

On EA site it was saying crysis release was 16th october 2007, maybe it was 2008?

I think I'll use the money I would buy crysis for and get UT3, this game will be much better than Crysis, crysis was overhyped and really is just Farcry with better graphics + more lag!!.

Um, am not saying Crysis is delayed - jst saying owuld not be surprised with more delays.

DON'T PANIC

im presonally looking forward to crysis, but looking more forward too farcry 2.

I hope FarCry2 is better performing that Crysis, same for UT3.

"As a public company, Midway felt an obligation to its shareholders to let them know about the possibility of a delay. But our goal is still to get the PS3 version of UT3 in stores before the end of 2007," said Rein. "However, we will only ship it once it's ready and is the best game we can deliver. The PC version is still on track for a November release."

Also from Epic forums Mark Rein said a demo is coming out before the retail release.

"The PC version is still on track for November with a downloadable demo to be made available prior to retail release."

the UT franchise has always been a favourite of mine but after watching some the the videos good old deathmatch and CTF just doesn't do it for me anymore

it ain't 1999 anymore

still looking forward to it tho but i am worried and its long term appeal
