Wow, certainly didn't see that coming. Homefront 2 should be sick then!

Crazyglues5264d ago (Edited 5264d ago )

oh Hell Yeah!, oh man I can't wait - Homefront was actually a pretty good game I enjoyed the mulitiplayer...

If Crytek does their homework, they can really bring home an Amazing top notch sequel...

This is amazing news... Can't wait to see what they do.

Am I the only one who thinks Crytek are over rated? I mean yeah they can push graphics but there games this gen to me seem to be abit on the 'boring but trying hard to be good' side =/

bumnut5264d ago

I thought Homefront was very poor, I hope Crytek can make a decent game of the sequel, but Crysis 2 multiplayer makes me think it will not be too great.

evrfighter5264d ago

you are right in thinking they are over rated.

Crytek to date has NOT made a game with a lasting multiplayer.

ReservoirDog3165264d ago

@ dangert

Not alone there, Crysis 2 was one of the most disappointing games of the year to me. The apparently good graphics were left bare by a boring artstyle and the gameplay was flat out boring.

HF wasn't great but it had potential to be great. Now...I stopped caring unless they really step up.

If I was the original Homefront Dev team i would be PISSED.

Homefront has sold just as well as Crysis 2 so i really do not see why THQ would ditch Kaos Studios and Digital Extremes in favor of Crytek!

if anything just license The CryEngine3 and let the original Devs continue on with what they created.

Also Cryteks multiplayer sucks on every game they have made and the MP was the saving grace for Homefront in which Digital Extremes has great MP talent from co Development of the Unreal Tournament series.

Homefront was average. Good graphics won't change it.

TomInc5264d ago

That would be the case if they were making an exact clone perhaps.

RedDead5264d ago

Yes but Crytek have the balls to make a decent game

cogniveritas5264d ago

I think a game like this belongs in the hands of Bethesda or Rockstar instead. This game needs a bigger open world that you can live in and with people you can learn to care about before an invasion really happens so that you can actually be upset when things get messed up. To acheive that, the timeline would need to take longer to cover also.

RedDead20675264d ago

Planned release in 2014.

I hope it has DirectX 12 support.

lzim5264d ago

so that it can be the only d3d12 game out there and not supported by 8th generation consoles, if they get released, that will still be running directx 9.0c.. fun

Ayepecks5264d ago

FISCAL 2014, which starts in April 2013.

KiasuKiasiMan5264d ago

Bombshell. Homefront had a GREAT Concept, failed in execution. Crytek should be able to remedy that. I still want another Freedom Fighters game

JellyJelly5264d ago

SP was crap but the MP was surprisingly good.

I think Crytek can make wonderful things with the concept.

ShiftyLookingCow5264d ago

Homefront has Koreans and patriotism
Crysis has Koreans and aliens

So I assume Crytek is going to add patriotic and xenophobic aliens to the next game.

Forbidden_Darkness5264d ago

Heck, it's not like we dont have a hundred other games with aliens right? ;P

IM_A_NINJA5264d ago

This is very interesting. I really enjoyed Homefront, I still play it on XBL. It had a lot going for it. Needed to work on the campaign and lengthen it though.

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.

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?

DF
" 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 "

isarai363d ago

I really hope they come out and push the industry forward like they used to. I miss old crytek

PrinceOfAnger362d ago

They all look disappointed by this news especially Alex

JEECE361d ago

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 4 put "on hold" as developer Crytek is next studio hit by layoffs

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.

RaidenBlack370d ago

Why'd the day start with such sad gaming news?
Absolutely disheartening.

Jingsing370d ago

Maybe putting The Power Rangers in Hunt Showdown will get you some money back. (sarcasm)

Kassanova07370d ago

I'm always rooting for Crytek.

P_Bomb369d ago

I’m rooting for Crysis. Hope they work it out.
