Interesting way to launch a game.......

PCGames.de is reporting that Crysis, the first person shooter game for PC in the works at Crytek and based on new intellectual property, was delayed to ship with Windows Vista (January 2007) - the game was previously scheduled for Winter 2006.

EDIT: On second thought, am I reading this wrong? Do they mean that Crysis will ship WITH vista, or just AT THE SAME TIME as Vista? The more I think about it, the second option seems more likely. It would be kinda strange for MS to bundle an FPS with every copy of Vista....

Why release it if DX10 isn't ready for Vista. Note they aren't bundling it with Vista. It's a Vista showcase game, and is going to be released concurrent with Vista.

Note that ET: QW is pushing back out of 2006 also. Trends of things to come. Next is BF2142.

I hope they do push BF2152 back until Jan 07. That will give the real professionals, the modders, time to enjoy the spotlight.

I highly doubt this will happen, cause EA has no competition for this season's holiday sales now.

If the Crysis multiplayer is anything like Far Cry's was, it definitely won't be providing any competition. Still, I have pretty high hopes for the single player. Some of the trailers look pretty impressive (realtime lighting in the ship one) the physics seem to be well done and the player models are some of the best I've seen. I think they took the motion blur and depth of field effects a bit overboard though.

No word, but they state it isn't going to be in 2006. What I think will happen is a ton of games will ship very shortly after vista with DX10 hits the shelves. If Dice / EA are smart, they'll release before the end of the yaer or hold off and release with optimized DX10 coding right after ET comes out.
