Never gonna happen. Don't you know that these days nobody plays singleplayer campaigns anymore?
After the success of World of Warcraft all games are converging towards accessible, dumbed down multiplayer modes. They would miss their demographic if they released a SP demo.

However, other cfgs are set to high or higher, making an interesting balance. From the looks of it, the consoles seem to be struggling with memory, as many of the RAM-heavy commands are set extremely low. On the other hand, things related to lighting and geom seem to be set high.
It looks like CE3 is much more efficient with geom that CE2, which will allow for some interesting stuff. |
 Spoiler: | How a map looks with medium settings:
How a map looks with console settings:
 |
The big difference is that PC medium for Crysis has HDR set to off, while consoles have HDR set to on and meanwhile their framerate is 10-14% faster than medium.
(Of course these comparisons aren't that useful since they are done on CE2 instead of CE3.) |
So they pushed bloooooooom to blinding state (MaximumBloom™  ) on the console, call it HDR and the idiots will fall for it like retards.
<Michael Pachter>Crap your pants PC gamers, Crysis now looks much better on the PS3 than on PC; look how amazing this bloom HDR is! 
And because Crysis 2 is now a Derp of Call clone, it is so much a lot a better than that open world have to think a little bit before hurr durr I forgot what I was talking about </Michael Pachter>
Crysis didn't have anywhere the amount of bloom these "simulations" have; HDR is not about bloom (for people who don't know), rather the latter is a consequence of light bleeding simulation achieved when tone mapping.
But when was the last time we saw a real HDR implementation?  Fucking console and the retards that drool on bloom, now devs can call bloom "HDR" and make idiots drool. |
Relax.  These are CryEngine 3 config values used in a CryEngine 2 map. They are not 1:1 and Crysis 2 shouldn't look like that. In fact it doesn't in any of the trailers or the MP demo on 360.

The "NVIDIA Forums Technical Advisor" keeps saying that new drivers for nvidia will be released in a month (with a potential bugfix release of the current drivers, coming earlier because for some people the nvcp doesn't open or something..). As he has said so more than a couple of times in the last few days, it seems that we can say with certainty that a new nvidia driver isn't scheduled to be released earlier.
Since Crytek has partnered with them (and the latest trailer, now officially carries nvidia's logo) I believe it's unlikely that Crytek will release a Crysis 2 demo before nvidia puts a profile for the game in the drivers (the current ones don't have one).
So unless they will release a seperate SLI profile (which they seldom do; the last one was released exactly one year ago, for ME2: http://www.nvidia.com/object/nvidia_multigpu_SLI_profile_update_v4.html ) I don't believe that there's a demo for Crysis 2 coming earlier than a month or nvidia doesn't know about it (impossible )

There's these as well from 1st December 2010 though they do not match against the later NVIDIA beta drivers and the changes in this package is just one game.
http://www.evga.com/articles/00463/
Used to be much larger but NVIDIA incorporated most of it in their official drivers so it shrunk a bit as most titles now offer full support for SLI and newer games are supported quickly via beta drivers, strange that Crysis 2 doesn't have a official profile yet if that's what you mean or maybe there is one but it'll be optimized further closer to the games actual release date.

GREATER!? no, im expecting this to work maxed out on a mid-range pc.... unless they do an utterly terrible job porting it to pc... in which case it could make the specs higher...
in short, i dunno... in theory it shouldnt, but it all comes down to the port job.

It depends on how they will define what "minimum" reqs are.
If they go for "by minimum we mean the game will start.. at 640x480 with everything set to low/off" then they shouldn't be higher.
If they go for "by minimum we mean around console quality settings, 1280x720" then they might be higher.
Most people have updated since 2007, and Crysis 2 is a game whose selling point are its visuals so it would make sense to define minimum as a "console-quality experience" instead of "yeah.. it runs.. barely"
Even UE3 games like Homefront have higher minimum requirements than Crysis 1's minimum: http://news.bigdownload.com/2011/01/24/homefront-pc-system-requirments-revealed/

Don't forget about the brown color filter to make it "gritty and realistic"

Likely a change in the Editor.exe file (32 and 64-bit) to make it skip the serial verification part, alternatively something with the DVM.dll Tages file.
I have no idea and didn't think it would be possible to bypass it at all, have the SDK as well but mostly just to get a early look at Cry Engine 3.
(Which so far is pretty much identical to Cry Engine 2 in terms of layout, commands and such.)
Can't be used due to this protection so having it properly cracked would be interesting but against the forum rules and the like as it is a copyrighted program.
(This is or at least looks to be the full SDK of Cry Engine 3 with various examples and other utilities included, release version from last year when they announced Cry Engine 3 ready for shipping and licensing and not just the editor part of Crysis 2.)
EDIT: It's fairly identical to Crysis actually but now has a X360.cfg and PS3.cfg file for settings (Haven't compared those yet.) and of course it's Cry Engine 3 includes both 32 and 64 bit support but I can only find DX9 shaders and there isn't much data for actually "playing" with it aside from some included examples and what might be created with the SandBox Editor 3.
(Defaults to sys_spec=3 or high but can go to sys_spec=4 or v.high.)
EDIT: It includes a forest map and a pacific island map (Those E3 comparison presentation levels perhaps.)

The whole point of CryEngine3 was to make it runnable on consoles. They optimised it, lowered the specs and it will ultimately be lighter and less power hungry than CryEngine2.

They also added some gimmicks such as DX11 support/3D to the PC version in order to mask it  |
