The Crysis Continues (Feature)

Oct 7, 2008

Who needs Crysis Warhead? Well, I do. And likely, so do you. As I’m writing this column in the dog days of late August, I have yet to play this “continuation” of the most intense shooter of 2007. But based on the quality of the original game, I have to guess that this is one of those must-play add-ons. I’m just hoping that the Crytek guys ease up a wee bit on the Contra-style boss battles and Matrix-y aliens.But ...

Crysis Warhead Gets A 60-70% Performance Boost From Modders (News)

Sep 25, 2008

GameXtract writes "Hey, if Crytek won't do it properly then modders will surely get to it sooner or later. Master from the crymod forums has created a performance config. What the hell is a config? If you are not satisfied with the current graphic settings, you can edit your/create your own configuration file to play Crysis Warhead with. This will allow you the user to be very picky in exactly how you want your game to look. Of course the average gamer will have no freaking clue on how to do this which is why community modders like Master cut us the slack, and complete it out of generosity."

Crysis Warhead (Review)

Sep 16, 2008

Crysis was the pinnacle of the modern, hardcore first-person shooter: wide-open level design, intensely violent, unabashedly difficult, with no Half-Life 2–style puzzles or obstacles that a super-powered punch couldn’t solve, and a sliver of a story compared to Call of Duty 4. ...

Crysis Warhead: Back Cover Looks Better Than The Boxart (News)

Sep 11, 2008

GameXtract writes "Box arts are a favorite timbit for players awaiting to receive a new title. While many people love to look at the front cover, I myself find more passion for the back cover. Why? Well for one it reveals a hell of a lot more than the front cover. The front cover reveals some fancy art, a rating, and the publisher as well as the developing studio. The back cover reveals tons of shit. System Requirements, in-game screenshots, text information, and many more minor features that will sure help reel the customer in. Today we got the back cover for Crysis Warhead, and you can get a full look at the image by clicking on it above. Has the back cover convinced you? The only reason I'm planing on grabbing the copy on day one is so that I can find out if my computer will crash like its having seizures, and see if their is any difference between the original title."

IGN: Crytek says New Engine in 2012 (News)

Aug 19, 2008

Speaking at Games Convention Developers Conference 2008 in Leipzig, Germany, Crytek CEO and President Cevat Yerli said the studio's next engine should be ready for sometime in 2012.

As of right now, he says, the degree to which graphics can represent real-life is bottlenecked by a lack of new hardware. He says GPU and CPU technology are converging, evident in the new technologies in development at Nvidia and ATI, as well as what Intel's doing with Larrabee.

Until the growing trend of CPU and GPU convergence is more defined, developers will have to focus on increased graphical stylization as well as more advanced physics and AI programming...

EA wants to sell you a (Crysis Warhead-Branded) PC (News)

Jul 29, 2008

At Electronic Arts' Comic-Con booth today, an EA rep mentioned that the company plans to market pre-built PCs in conjunction with the release of Crytek's upcoming PC-exclusive shooter Crysis Warhead. The idea seems to be to try and circumvent some of the intimidation that exists for gamers who are either new to high-end PC gaming, or have been out of the scene for some time, and reassure them that it is not prohibitively expensive to acquire a machine that can tame something like Crysis and its followup.

Apparently, the rigs will come in various configurations, which will correspond to Crysis Warhead's levels of graphical detail, with a likely price range being $600-$800 (I doubt EA will want to market a machine that meets only the game's minimum spec), and they will probably be named accordingly–the Crysis Warhead Performance PC, and so on.

...

As the rep also mentioned to me, EA's own internal analysis indicates the PC market is growing–publishers just have to learn how to capitalize on it.

PC Gamers Start A Buy Crysis Warhead Pledge (Petition) (News)

Jul 7, 2008

A group of gamers have gotten together and created a pledge petition that looks to combat Crysis Warhead's eventual piracy and show Crytek the support of its community

The petition started late Saturday and has already nearly reached 100 members.

The body of the petition follows:

With the development of Crysis 2 and the Crysis franchise's PC exclusivity resting on the success of Crysis Warhead, we must insure the future of the franchise and hardcore PC development that innovates and pushes gaming technology to its limits and gives us stunning technical achievements like Crysis, Half-life 2, Far Cry, Doom 3, etc.

The original Crysis sold respectively and has since passed 1.5 million copies internationally. However, this is disappointing when considering that it was the Windows Platform's most publicized and tracked game of 2007.

With the PC's huge install base, it is disappointing that its sales didn't remotely approach the levels of other platform exclusives like the Xbox 360's Halo 3. A quick search on the internet reveals piracy as the leading reason, with 15-20 copies pirated for every copy sold.

We pledge to combat piracy and to buy Crysis Warhead as soon as possible after the game is released, both to support Crytek and future developers who risk developing for our heavily pirated but expansive platform.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

For developer Crytek, the answer isn’t to churn out a quickie sequel - even though Crysis’ cliff-hanger ending surely demands one. Now.

No - first, Crytek has to deal with the “perception” problem. The perception that ...
