As reported, Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli has made a statement regarding long-time argument of graphics versus gameplay. Yerli says that graphics have always driven gameplay and believes that it’s 60 percent of the game.

Crysis 3 review – Following Suit

February 22, 2013 at 5:00 pm | 16 Comments

I’m probably in the minority, but I actually liked Crysis 2. It didn’t offer the sandbox freedom that the first game provided, but it was an entertaining battle through smaller, tighter and decidedly more linear levels. With Crysis 3, Crytek have sought to find a modicum of balance between the two philosophies – and they’ve largely succeeded.

Crysis 3 gets its first review

February 13, 2013 at 2:00 pm | 37 Comments

With Dead Space 3 and Aliens: Colonial Marines out of the way, the next big game on the horizon (joining Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance) is Crysis 3. The last Crysis game was a little divisive; console gamers loved it – but the master race seems to have been left a little disappointed by what they felt was a dumbed-down console game. Crysis 3’s received its first review courtesy of Polish magazine CD-Action. What did they think?

“Next gen” no better than Crysis 3

February 11, 2013 at 1:30 pm | 16 Comments

Crytek’s Cevat Yerli is beginning to sound like a bit of a stuck record. If he’s not harping on about “free to play” being the future of video games, he’s going on about how Crysis 3 is the most technically beautiful thing to happen to videogames. Here’s him doing both.

Crytek support trolls PC Gamer

January 30, 2013 at 1:00 pm | 25 Comments

Crysis 3 is currently in multiplayer beta – on pretty much all formats. One of the caveats of a beta – and really why they exist in the first place – is that sometimes they just don’t work, or don’t work properly, especially on PC’s where the possible hardware configurations are nearly infinite. One PC gamer, struggling to get the beta working, took to the MyCrysis forums to ask for help. And then got trolled by support.

Good news multiplayer enthusiasts, EA will be launching a multiplayer open beta next week. I’m not particularly a fan of “multiplayer all the things!” but hey, this could be awesome. Fingers crossed.

A Dramatic slow-mo Crysis 3 video

January 10, 2013 at 3:30 pm | 7 Comments

The latest episode of the Crysis 3 “The 7 Wonders of” series has released and it’s full of slow-mo’s, rewinds and serious business narratives. I don’t know whether to laugh or stand in awe of its awesomeness.

Not even 1% left, as Crysis 3 maxes out consoles

December 12, 2012 at 9:00 am | 30 Comments

Think back to 2011, and if you had to name a contender for best visuals, you’d be hard pressed to find a game that looked better than Crysis 2. While new mods and extra hardware made the Independence Day simulator look unreal on PC, the game still looked real good on console. And for the next entry in that franchise, developer Crytek is promising a next-gen game on current-gen hardware.

The Xbox 360 has just one exclusive for 2013

December 11, 2012 at 12:00 pm | 6 Comments

 

2012 is done and dusted for gaming this year, with Far Cry 3 being the last real notable release on the gaming calendar. Well, except for those Wii U games that Geoff is burning his life-force away to get finished and reviewed. And that Epic Mickey game on the 3DS that I’m certain is a form of a divine punishment. But enough of that! What’s 2013 got in store for gamers then, huh? Let’s take a looksie.

PC Crysis 3 to have advanced graphics options

December 4, 2012 at 1:30 pm | 8 Comments

When Crysis 2 was released in March of 2011 it pissed a lot of PC gamers off, because it was quite obvious it was little more than a console port, missing many of the advanced graphical options and features that tweak-hungry PC gamers crave. Crytek fixed that later with DirextX11 updates and texture packs – but it also seems they’ve learned their lesson. Crysis 3 will have all of the fiddly advanced stuff straight out of the box.

2 new Crysis 3 videos

With the release of both Halo 4 and Black Ops 2 is close succession it’s easy to forget that there is yet another AAA shooter in the works that looks to be set to give them both a run for their money.

The next Crysis won’t be Crysis 4

November 13, 2012 at 2:30 pm | 16 Comments

Crysis 3 isn’t even out yet, not expected for a few months – but that hasn’t stopped Crysis developer Crytek from talking about the next Crysis. Here’s the kicker though; they won;t be calling it Crysis 4, and plan on releasing something a game that does 'radical and new' things.

Hands on with Crysis 3 multiplayer

August 21, 2012 at 2:30 pm | 1 Comment

Crysis Developer Crytek is such a technology focused developer - with many believing that they’re too focused on technology, and have lost sight of what it takes to make a great game. I can;t honestly tell you if they’ve turned that around with Crysis 3 just yet, because I’ve not had the opportunity to tackle the single player - but I have had some time with two of the game’s multiplayer modes - and they’re pretty damned fun.

CryEngine 3 sure is pretty

August 10, 2012 at 3:30 pm | 10 Comments

Crytek, the graphics-focused game developer is pretty pleased with its new CryEngine - believing it not only goes head to head with, put surpasses Epic’s Unreal Engine 4. We’ll only really be able to tell which is the superior engine once games that utilise them start coming out, but until then, we can ogle at videos showing off each engines features. Today, we take a look at CryEngine 3.
