Crysis 2 Demo Abandoned



As with most demos, you expect a decent performance as well as a great chance to play the game that you’ve been waiting for.  Or you’re part of the group who just searches the PSN to play new things and experience new titles.  Either way, you are expecting something, ANYTHING out of the demo.  EA (Electronic Arts) and Crytek realized this when they decided to pull the plug on the Crysis 2 multiplayer demo that was available for the PS3, on the PSN.

Some people had no problems loading the demo and playing it but there were a handful that were complaining about the connection issues and the extremely long download times.  They issued a comment on their website:

“Thank you for your interest in the PlayStation 3 version of the Crysis 2 multiplayer demo.  Though many gamers have had a great experience with playing the demo, we are aware that others have been experiencing server connection delays.  We’ve identified the root cause and have decided to close the PS3 demo in the next 24 hours to ensure all issues are resolved when the game launches next week.  Our priority is to ensure that the final product is flawless at launch.”

Although it kind of blows for the people who were hoping to get a glimpse of the game during this weekend, as long as the polished version is up to par I’m sure that most of you don’t mind.  And plus, Crysis 2 hits shelves next week Tuesday so it’s not like you have to wait a month for it to come out.
