With all the new stuff slated to release soon and stuff that has released (BioShock, TF2, UT2k7, QuakeWars, Crysis, etc.) I'd like to make sure I do not miss out on any of the demos or betas. If you guys could post information (release date, sys reqs, etc.) or a link to the beta/demo for any new double A or triple A title, it'd be much appreciated.

So the ET:QW demo has been released. There should be downloads up at filefront/fileplanet/etc. but the main site is down due to traffic. Multiplay.co.uk has their mirrors up at: http://www.multiplay.co.uk/index.asp?newsid=2230
-
The nVidia download site works fairly well. I'm getting ~200k/s.
EDIT: Aaaand wtf. File's corrupted.
-
Wow the ET:QW demo is very light for a demo these days. By comparison, BioShock was 1.8 GiB.
-
Also, it's incredibly fun. It takes a while to figure out what does what, exactly, but je l'aime.
-
My dl-rate was 400 kb/sec from a diff site. Judging from my first impression: Fairly well made.

Lol why my quote get removed, I don't even remember what I said.

Was supposed to launch today, now it's not.
Crysis demo release date delayed to October 26th
Today some Crysis fan site has announced that the release date for the Crysis demo will be delayed to October 26th
The countdown timer will be fixed right after an official statement by EA Games or Crytek
Here the unconfirmed transcript of the news:
"Hi everyone, we have some news to announce.
First, I am sorry for the bad news - the Crysis single player demo will now be available everywhere on October 26th, 2007.
We are taking some extra time to make sure you that you have an amazing experience but also we did not want to risk the release date of Crysis at this stage. To get the game into your hands by November the 16th, we had to make this call.
Now the good news - the big surprise. The SP demo will be released with our CryEngine 2 - Sandbox 2 game editor, giving the community the opportunity to get familiar with the vast amount of tools they will have at their disposal four weeks before we ship, something we have always wanted to do.
This is an exciting time for us at the studio as the development of Crysis comes to an end and we are only a few weeks from Gold Master. We appreciate your patience and are looking forward to getting Crysis into your hands on November 16th. "

UT 3 Demo:

-
This is such a great time for PC gaming, it's crazy. I'm trying to download everything at once.
-
Me too :P, have you gotten Orange Box yet Eiii?
-
I'm only getting Portal for now, TF2 after I'm convinced I'll really like it. I don't like HL2 that much.
I do have Halo 3, am planning on getting Mass Effect and Crysis.
Not getting UT3, COD4, or HL2EP2.
Crraaaaazy time.
-
Portal is very fun, so far Peggle Extreme and Portal are the only two I've enjoyed playing.. TF2 has a high learning curve.

"And while these specs affect how Crysis will perform now, we have also optimized Crysis so that the game scales forward 1-2 years -- we want to make sure that Crysis' gameplay, visuals and performance improves as technology does."

Looks like I need to get that 500 gb drive installed.
-
Oi, before this holiday season I'm sure I'll have to upgrade my HDD :-\
-
Bah, stupid crysisdemo.com counter stopped a few hours ago but just says "waiting for tuning..."
-
Comes out tomorrow. They just don't know the exact time, is my guess.
-
You are correct sir, 7am EST, 6am CST, so 4am for those who live in the Seattle timezone :D
-
A day late? Ppph.

http://www.crysisdemo.com/download.htm
1.77 GB download, choose the FileFront mirror, no signup or login and has a very fast rate with little traffic.
Actual game is ~45 minutes, but you'll spend a lot more if you explore.
Cheers

y00tz beat me. :<
I'll get back to you guys on DX9 vs DX10 (assuming there's any difference at all).
-
My demo download is at 44%. Takes forever with wireless.

Crysis doesn't start....
I have only a black screen with a "Pre-Release Demo"-Text on the top.
CPU and GPU Benchmarks works fine. 22 FPS at Very High (1024x768, AA off).

How long did you wait? I have a mid-high system and it stays at the black screen for a few minutes :D
