Electronic Arts has just made an announcement that Crysis is finally done and the Gold Master disc has been sent to mass production.
The year's biggest PC game has just gotten that much closer to hitting store shelves. Crysis, Crytek's next-generation first person shooter for the PC has gone gold and will be on store shelves everywhere November 16, 2007.
"We are extremely proud of what we have been able to accomplish with Crysis," said Cevat Yerli, CEO of Crytek. "We wanted to push the boundaries both visually and with open-ended, non-linear gameplay and we believe the end result delivers that vision."
The current single player demo, available in DX10 and DX9, has given gamers their first taste of the immersive, non-linear Crysis experience. Highlighted by Crytek's open-ended level design and the game's Nanosuit gameplay mechanic, which challenges gamers to analyze and approach every individual encounter before acting, Crysis delivers a completely new and refreshing FPS gameplay experience.
Crysis features stunning, award-winning graphics powered by Crytek's CryENGINE 2. Assistance from key partners such as NVIDIA, Intel and Microsoft have helped make Crysis one of the most anticipated PC games of all time.
"Crytek and EA are rewarding PC gamers with the world's most technologically advanced video game," said Roy Taylor, vice president of content at NVIDIA. "Our programmers are intensely proud to have helped Crytek push the boundaries of interactivity and immersion. The game was developed and tested on NVIDIA, and we recommend GeForce 8800-Series graphics cards for the best experience."
