X360: Crytek has experimented with sand-box design as well as linear corridor shooting, like Call Of Duty, but should there be a balance between the two for Crysis 3?
EA is laying off an unknown number of individuals from across its Battlefield teams, including workers at Criterion, Dice, Ripple Effect, and Motive Studios, IGN understands.

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!
cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla
The free-to-play reboot topped 15 million players in under three weeks, but EA now claims it needs to reshape the development team.
The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result
It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way
The Congressional Labor Caucus sent a letter to the FTC warning the debt-financed, largely PIF-owned deal could be bad news for workers
lol ya think? they're sending all that work to the cheaper labor market as soon as possible. and FYI, that labor market has exploded in the last 5-10 years. They have enough people to replace every single job. But honestly, EA is over filled with useless upper management as it is. You could probably trim 25% of their staff with no real loss in production. They aren't gamers, they're business execs. Just look at how many AI related jobs they're already starting to post. Its also hilarious that PIF owns Battle field 6
Wait,
The same congress that attacked Lina Khan when she fought the Microsoft Activision purchase.
The same congress that allowed Disney to buy 90% of Fox
The same congress that allowed Liv Golf to buy the PGA
The same congress that sits back while Paramount tries a hostile takeover despite losing the bid for Warner Bros.
NOW, the suddenly cares about doing what's "right" for works? Yeah, right.
EA now owned by The Saudis and Ubisoft to inevitably be owned by China. In hindsight, once EA and Ubisoft started having their financial woes, they should have pulled a Koei Tecmo/Bandai Namco by merging their operations into one.
"The criticisms of Crysis 2’s AI were “a little unfair”
“There was some criticism [of Crysis 2’s AI], some of which I think was a little unfair, some of it which wasn’t. I think when you turn everything upside down and try to approach your game differently you need to change a lot of things which means some will get better and some will get worse. However, we now have plenty of experience, which gives us a better idea of how we need to approach things like AI in order to have it function really well in both linear scenarios and in the sandbox. We’ll attempt to make it as good as we possibly can.”
Rasmus Hojengaard, director of creative development
Well that's what you guys get for allowing your Executive Producer to criticize other shooters, claiming that Crysis 2 would beat Halo, and Call of Duty, and etc. When it release for the 360 and PC, it was a buggy mess with the A.i. and other issues. Now they finally fix it!!! Face the music and correct your mistakes with Crysis 3.
There is validity. When you're hand-held Call of Duty or Uncharted.
This is CRYSIS so there's no validity in linear BS. The handful of linear sequences in Crysis 1 were god-awful, and Crysis 2 was at most a 6/10 game. It seems like they learned nothing in Crysis 3, as their "open" worlds are actually places where you can choose between multiple LINEAR paths. I'm happy Crysis 3 didn't get much attention at E3. Crytek deserves to fail after ruining the franchise.
