Our interview with Crytek's Nicolas Schulz and Brian Chambers touched on many topics, from Ryse to CRYENGINE and the future of graphics.
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)
I really hope they don't throw the Crysis franchise in the bin, it would be a damn shame. I don't even think Crysis 3 was bad, just the second one.
Crytek writes new standard for visual quality with every release. But they should start thinking of offering vanguard gaming experience, in par with that visual.
I played this game for around 1 hour and uninstalled it. Hated the gameplay and the animations. The way he walks/run is so awkward and funny!
But graphics are very good! one of the best.
They should go back to open world for Crysis 4
I wish more people would use this engine, its one of the best looking around.
