The Crytek CEO explained how the studio have tried to ensure that Crysis 3 is the definitive game in the trilogy:
CY: We have to come up with something that is the anchor of the game, the identity of the game. So we want to continue Crysis 1 spiritually, we want to tell the story of Crysis 2, but we want Crysis 3 to still be Crysis 3. We want it to be an innovative, evolving, yet mastered DNA experience... So it has to be like our last Crysis forever, even though it might not be. But it has to be like that, it has to be our very best offering."
Battlefield Bad Company 2, Dead Space 2, Crysis 3, and a handful other EA games have finally had their online services shut down.
I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥
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.
Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!
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!
Electronic Arts has released a new update for the PC version of Crysis 3 that removes its SecuROM protection system.
Bang4BuckPC Gamer tested Crysis 3, The Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn and Final Fantasy XV, with all of them running with 30fps in 8K.
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.
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
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.
I love you Cevat Yerli :P
When he says most next-gen launch games wont be that much different looking from crysis 3, is he talking about the pc version, or the console version? Quite frankly, judging by the beta, crysis 3 does not look that good.
Very nice interview, thanks for this
