Kevin Johnson a késlekedéssel kapcsolatban csak annyit mondott: akkor szállítják a terméket, amikor elkészült, és ezt "mérföldkőről mérföldkőre" haladva igyekeznek elérni. Ezen a semmitmondó válaszon kívül nincs további magyarázat a lehetséges csúszásra, ...

ExtremeTech: What is your plan to add DX10 support in Crysis? Do you hope to ship the game with it (whether or not Vista has shipped yet)? Ship the game and offer a DX10 patch later? You offered graphical upgrades in Far Cry in patches, but users really had to wait a long time for them.

Yerli: We plan to ship Crysis with full DX10 support and still upgrade Crysis over time with improvements.

ExtremeTech: By the time DX10 hardware is available to develop on in earnest, your game will be nearly done. Obviously, the degree to which you can exploit it is limited. Do you hope to do more with DX10 in maybe a Crysis expansion pack, or will we have to wait for the next Crytek game to see more elaborate DX10 utilization?

Yerli: Crysiswill ship with features that are exclusive to DX10, however, ultimately we will develop more elegant solutions with time coming forward, since we have implementation ideas that at this stage would fight our DX9 implementation. Hence we will improve DX10 even more after Crysis ships through patches, but only if the DX10 hardware base is big enough to reduce focus on DX9. Probably a year will have to pass by.
