Crytek's chief executive Cevat Yerli talks about dominating the virtual world with free-to-play games.
MP1st talks to Crytek about Hunt: Showdown's success, future title updates, inspiration behind weapons and more.
Crytek gives an update on their new Crysis game, confirming that it's still in development, with more to share down the road.
That's awesome. So how long till the studio closes and everyone gets fired?
Immersed Gamer writes: "Frans Bouma just received a Cease and Desist letter from Crytek, developers of Crysis. Did he pirate their game? Or maybe he infringed on their copyright? What horrible thing did Bouma do to deserve this? Well, he modded in a photo mode so that people could take beautiful pictures and share them on social media."
"from his Patreon page" Uhhhh yeah.......Oh gee and I wonder why that was problem? You know where this goes there Filip or perhaps you are just not quite yet.
Rarely do you see something with so much potential (Crytek) shoot themselves in the foot so many times.
Instead of sending a C&D Crytek should thank him, for this, because this will lead to more people buying and playing the game.
Triple-A quality for free-to-play games is nice and all, but the real challenge is not forcing the business model/microtransactions down gamers' throats. There are very few F2P games that balance this well -- League of Legends is one that comes to mind -- and it's almost impossible to jump into a F2P game and just think about the *game* and not what it's trying to charge you for.
Also, I wonder what this means for future Crysis/Homefront games...
So, does this mean they're done making single-player campaigns?
I personally don't like the F2P model since nowadays it is being known as the Freemium model. We shall see...
@JeffGrubb
Probably but to be honest does it really matter, Crytek haven't made a good campaign since 2007.
Well you all best make a game that can do WoW numbers! if that is all you are depending on as revenue. Sure they can fall back on the sales of their engine as middleware! But why severe ties with consoles, when you can have multiple streams of profit!?!
