"Crytek is a company that has built itself up as a gaming powerhouse over the years, so spending the past couple of months watching it seemingly implode from the inside-out have been a bit of a shock." - Joe Garcia, Stealthy Box
Crytek : In episode two of Our Story, the team discusses the evolution of Crysis into Crysis 2 and 3 (and the pressures that came with it), how a local connection landed an incredible collaboration with legendary composer Hans Zimmer, and the New York trip that inspired much of Crysis 2. For the gladiators among you, you’ll also get an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the development of Ryse: Son of Rome and the attention to detail that went into it.
Crysis 4 is "on hold" and Crytek is facing layoffs - so what does that mean for the company that was once Germany's biggest games dev + the industry as a whole?
I really want to see a Crysis 4 with all the ray-tracing & path-tracing effects. It would be a shame if they canceled the project. Maybe they could do a kickstarter?

" Crysis is something of a tentpole game series for us at Digital Foundry, with a reputation for being an early adopter of graphics technologies that would later define entire generations of PC and console video games. That includes the likes of screen-space ambient occlusion, sub-surface scattering and ray-marched volumetric lighting, but you could write volumes about just how ground-breaking that first game was "
I really hope they come out and push the industry forward like they used to. I miss old crytek
Pretty sad that the studio that gave us a monumental game like Crysis is now subsisting on microtransactions from a live service PVPVE game.
Crysis developer Crytek is the next studio hit by layoffs, as it announces it's set to lose an estimated 15 percent of its 400 employees.
Maybe putting The Power Rangers in Hunt Showdown will get you some money back. (sarcasm)
Seems about right, often times CEO's lose touch with the worker bees. Also when problems start and it becomes public knowledge then the CEO acts all high and mighty or doesn't come clean it tends to look bad. Seems this is happening at Crytek as I type this.
let them die ..they didnt offer anything special except first crysis and first far cry maybe...all the other games from crytek were mid failures ...they had such a powerful engine in their hands and they preffered to develope COd futuristic clones ...we will not miss anything if they close
they are on the wrong road with all their free to play stuff. they should improve the gameplay and story immersion in their games and go back to were they started with crisis 1 and the add on. i can't remember the name :/
Amazon will swoop them over.
He was thinking about his next Ferrari instead of the long term investment of his company and employee's!
Too bad no one will miss you!
