2007 October 26 - PC gamers will soon be able to play the most
advanced video game ever created. The Crysis demo—available tomorrow from
nZone.com—includes the complete first level of the game, representing about 45
minutes of gameplay.
Crysis was developed on NVIDIA GeForce 8 Series graphics processors. NVIDIA
programmers spent more than 5,000 engineering hours helping Crytek add the
latest graphics technology to the game.
Crysis features Extreme High Definition (XHD) support with up to 2560x1600
resolution—roughly twice the resolution of next-generation video-game consoles.
The demo will be available Saturday, October 27th from nZone.com. Link:

the game is scheduled for release in North America and Europe on November 16th,
2007.
Quote by Roy Taylor, vice president of content for NVIDIA:
"Crysis is without a doubt the world's most advanced game and the most important
game to come out since Half Life. We applaud our friends at Crytek and EA for
their spectacular achievement. There's never been a game that looked this good
and delivered such an immersive gaming experience. The only question is: Are you
ready?"
Quote by Cevat Yerli, Crytek CEO:
"Originally we set two extreme and mutually exclusive goals: 1) pushing the
boundaries of interactivity and non-linearity, and 2) achieving a realistic
experience where you forget you're playing a game. With the deep technical
expertise of NVIDIA's world-class support team, we achieved these two seemingly
impossible goals, defining the heart of Crysis. We developed Crysis on NVIDIA
graphics processors and we recommend GeForce 8800 graphics cards for the best
experience."
