already? a third? really.....

EA wants money. This will become a yearly series

GrumpyVeteran5133d ago

Depends. Crysis 2 did worse than Crysis 1 - if EA want to make this a profitable franchise they must go back to their roots, but they won't because it's EA. Instead, they'll run the IP into the ground.

Already?

With CryEngine 2 :
Crysis 1 : Holiday 2007
Warhead : Fall 2008
[Development of a new engine]
With CryEngine 3 :
Crysis 2 : Scheduled for Holiday 2010 but then delayed to Spring 2011.
Crysis 3 : Scheduled for Spring 2013

It was obvious that it wouldn't take them 3 years to develop another game using the same engine. This is just like CD Projekt RED, they released The Witcher in 2007, then worked on their RED Engine and The Witcher 2 which they unleashed in 2011. But The Witcher 3 will certainly not have such a long development cycle because they already have the tools they need.

You can also expect Crytek to be working on its CryEngine 4 which will probably be ready some time in 2014/2015.

Developers can make a very good game within two years, and I'm certain Crytek has been working on C3 before C2's release, so they've had quite a lot of time to release a decent sequel.

The 2nd was amazing and much better than the first which was just Far Cry with a super suit and BAM it became linear as the game went on until all you could do was walk down a corridor to complete the level.

I hope the 3rd isn't as linear as the first and the tactical gameplay still pertains it's difficulty.

I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥

I was able to find games in the Vietnam dlc on ps3 the last week. There were articles on here about the server closure when it was announced in April

DaReapa878d ago

BF1943 is the only online MP game that I was genuinely interested in. Been playing since launch 14 years ago. Hate that I couldn't put in as much time to play as I'd hoped for during the final week.

Inverno877d ago

I got really into 43 when I bought Bf3, and preferred it. Everything that I disliked or found annoying about Bf3, wasn't an issue in 43. Too bad they never bothered releasing it on PS4 or PC.

1nsomniac877d ago (Edited 877d ago )

Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!

anast877d ago

Once people stop buying micros, these companies close the doors.

Xenial877d ago

Dead Space 2 multiplayer had been hanging on for years - I'd boot my PS3 up to see some familiar names in lobbies. This will definitely be missed!

Yep. Wait a couple of years and get this level of performance on a RTX 4070 or 4080 at a much lower price.

Killer73nova2025d ago

And wait a couple more years for rtx 5070 or 5080 at a much much lower price

Yung-T2025d ago (Edited 2025d ago )

That headline is a tad misleading.
The rig stated in that YouTube video is extremely high-end (ryzen 3950x oc, 32gb etc) and utilizing special water-cooling solutions, loops with pumps etc.

This rig easily costs 5k+ and a normal pc with a RTX 3090 wouldn't get close to these framerates or sustainable temperatures.

Aggesan2025d ago

Who has a "normal" pc with a RTX 3090?

Yung-T2025d ago (Edited 2025d ago )

There's still a difference between a high-end GPU+CPU and a custom-made water cooling system including a Waterloop&pumps etc though, it allows for much higher performance due to the better temperature management that would fry the GPU&CPU with normal builds.

lonewolf102025d ago

That's why people need to read the articles, most headlines are just to get you to click.

Rainbowcookie2025d ago

You would think yes, but honestly does it happen often 🤣 enough

I_am_Batman2025d ago (Edited 2025d ago )

Most of the threads of the 3950x were barely utilized and none of the games that were tested allocated more than ~12.5GB of system memory. Gaming at 8k is pretty much as GPU bound as you can get so you won't need a water cooled high-end CPU or 32GB of memory.

Psychotica2025d ago (Edited 2025d ago )

How does the cost of the PC make the headline misleading?

Mega powerful video card but the games you can play on that card are all available elsewhere. I want to see compelling pc only goty material titles ASAP

Psychotica2025d ago

And where else can you run them in 8K or even in 4K with the same level of performance?

averagejoe262025d ago

Who cares? Nobody has 8k screens and the majority don't even have 4k screens.

This push for pointless high resolution is ruining progress. Give us better framerates, lighting, physics, etc. Stop wasting power on needles 8k.

lonewolf102025d ago

@averagejoe26

There are people with 8k monitors though.

Bender65022025d ago

And still we can't escape 30fps.

JCOLE131952025d ago

I mean given the fact the games are running at 8K it doesn’t surprise me...

MrDead2025d ago

DLSS 2.0 no doubt has a big part in this too, The Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn and Death Stranding run like a dream on my 3080, 4k ultra set to 60fps no drops or stutters and the system runs very quiet. Playing Borderlands 3 on badass settings, Red Dead or Division 2 on 4k ultra all run great (Red Dead has a few drops below 60fps) but my PC is working a lot harder on games that don't utilise DLSS, my room warms up nicely when playing those games.
