NowGamer speaks to Avni Yerli and Carl Jones from Crytek in the most in-depth interview of the year, where they discuss everything from Crysis and TimeSplitters to the Xbox 720, Wii U and next-gen...
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)
Good interview
Can't wait to see more CryEngine games - Ryse looks ok, but bring original Crysis to consoles! Oh, and a CE3-powered RPG!
Crytek are pretty inspiring guys, up there with some of the brightest devs today.
Very good interview...
I found the following statement to be a bit telling on what we should expect from Crytek in the future: "I think the next-generation consoles will be similar; every console will have this very specific type of group of gamers to design for, so a cross-platform approach will be very difficult going forward, in our opinion."
Crytek abandoned the 360 community with Crysis 2. The grain problem is still as bad as ever. 360 owners should boycott Crytek.
