Many gamers had trouble getting a game online and experienced numerous delays on the demo. EA has claimed to identified the root cause of the issue and are removing the demo in order to ensure that things go as smoothly as possible when the game launches at retail. Here's what EA had to say: Thank you for your interest in the PlayStation 3 version of the Crysis 2 multiplayer demo. Though many gamers have had a great experience 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.

Who really gives a sh*t about the PS3 in the multi platform "Dev World"? No one.

As long as they make a nice couple of "Fancy Cinematic" trailers, they know it will sell and they profit... And we lose our moneys worth.

*Cough* Black Ops. /facepalm

Wow I thought EA was supposed to be on Sony's side :p

Ya I tried to DL it on my PS3 2 days ago but kept getting connection errors whenever I tried it. I guess this is why. Oh well, I'll just try it out on my Xbox then.

The full game leaked on ps3 about 2 days ago, and I've been playing it since then.
If you think the game will look/play different then the demo, then you WILL be disappointed.

EA published the game. Crytek are the developers. EA doesn't really have a hand in anything other than distributing

You can't tell what the game will look like by watching a low-res video. Wait until you play it, you'll see that it isn't much of an improvement from the demo.

In 1080p, the game looks sub-hd. It looks/performs better in 720p. Bioshock 2 had a similar problem, where it looked like crap when upscaled to 1080p. The framerate in this game can get annoying sometimes too, and it drops to around 15-24fps when there's alot of shit going on.

The game is still fun to play. But after all that CryEngine 3 hype, Crytek should have delivered.
