Crytek teases Crysis 2 PS3 demo

PS3 gamers "can probably hope for one."

PC and Xbox 360 gamers can play upcoming science fiction shooter Crysis 2 before launch. But what about PlayStation 3 gamers? Will they get a demo?

PlayStation gamers "can probably hope for one," executive producer Nathan Camarillo told PSU.

"We want as many people to play Crysis 2 as possible," he said. "I can't say anything too specific. We haven't announced [the demo] yet."

A PC Crysis 2 multiplayer demo will be available to download from 1st March. It includes two maps and two modes, each setting up six versus six matches.

EA's decision to release a PC demo of the upcoming shooter followed a raft of complaints from PC gamers about the apparent Xbox 360 exclusivity of the demo.

Meanwhile, Camarillo promised post-launch downloadable content for Crysis 2.

"It's a big game and there's a lot of fun to be had, so you can imagine we're doing some [DLC], but I can't say specifically what it is yet," he said.
