“It’s really getting old and tight” in the current space, says Crysis 2 developer
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)
But for the PS3 and Xbox360 ? i dont think so.
What i think will happen is that the Nintendo will get a really good head start with their next console. The coming years will become really interesting.
In consoles for just over a year and suddenly they know everything....
What weight does it hold that a game developer is saying this? ummm none. Try asking the first parties, ala, nintendo, microsoft or sony, think they might know a little more.
“It’s really getting old and tight”
That's what she said.
I bet they can't wait to dig in & get their hands dirty, eh?
I smell preemptive damage control from Crytek as they can not get the console version up to speed or look as the released trailers.
Crytek, I know you're pc devs and all but, you do realise this gen is far from over? Unless, you want to give billions to Nintendo,Sony and Microsoft for the economical shitstorms they've gone through. This is why I hate it when devs open their mouth about this sorta stuff. Make great games,thats it. The next gen will come the sec the hardware players in the industry want it to.
