DasReviews writes: "As we reported yesterday, PC pirates were able to play online on the official servers. Not for long however, which will definitely bring a smile to those that bought the game. According to Cry-Tom from MyCrysis, Crytek is preparing a patch that will resolve a lot of the post-launch issues. It will also include some improvements to Crysis 2′s security. These updates will be made available via automatic-download later this week.
Do not confuse this patch with the rumored DX11 update..."
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)
arrrr....
PC gamers don't matter anymore. Crysis 2 has sold a pitiful amount on PC, 360 has sold more than twice as many copies. And good for Crytek blocking pirates from playing their game. Pirates think everything in life should be free, bunch of hippies need prison time to sort them out.
Figures...the worst part is IGNORING everyone. You're showing your true colors right now Crytek. I would understand if you gave me an explanation, yet they just ignore us.
game looks really nice on the PC, but rest of it is typical console port arcade blast em up!!..not for me! glad I had chance to try it before i bought it! ;)
Seriously, the game has a lot of issues/glitches/bugs that need to be fixed. And that's exactly what Crytek needs to address first. I'd take anyday a patch with important fixes than a gimmick DX11 update
