games just sale better on consoles. even without all of that extra PC yadda yadda. plus these consoles give you a lot for what you pay for with all of the extra features that these companies have to put in them in order to keep them fresh and innovative. so upgradeable like a PC? not so much. expensive like a high end PC rig? mist definitely not. fun like a PC rig? better in this aspect. mainly because you can pick it up and instantly start playing without loading this and loading that. plus, most gamers prefer a controller. that's why PC gamers are using controllers now.

bumnut4020d ago

I was using a controller on my PC in 1992

headblackman4020d ago

you do realize that consoles were out before 1992 don't you? :-/

Jacobite4020d ago

I used a joypad first and prefer Joypad for racers and platformers, but for FPS K&M for me, till consoles let you use it a K&M set up properly i'll stick to PC for FPS. The games on my PC play with no problems whether through Steam or not and I do play on consoles as well.

"consoles give you a lot for what you pay for with all of the extra features " I agree with you in that I enjoy gaming on consoles because of cinvinece and simply personal preference. but I cannot pretend to understand why you'd say pc games lack features and content. pc games offer midding, that alone is a gamechanger. mods like gary's mod have been keeping Half-Life actively played for 10 yrs and its a single player game. not to mention pc gamers often patch and update thier own purchased games, she share the updates if Developers never get around to it. its almost as if pc gaming community is given a product, a few tools and left alone to see what they can do with them. as a consoles gamer I almost feel spoon fed simetimes. guess thats why games like lbp and halo's forge have impressed me.

Crytek Gives Brief Update on New Crysis Game; Studio Has a "Great Team" Working on It

Crytek gives an update on their new Crysis game, confirming that it's still in development, with more to share down the road.

DefenderOfDoom2138d ago

Actually would love a new Crysis campaign.

P_Bomb138d ago

Ditto. Ran through them again last year. I’ll grab the new one.

Crazyglues137d ago (Edited 137d ago )

Yeah they really messed up by not adding the Multi-player to the Crysis Triogly because while the campaign was fun I really loved the Multi-player and couldn't wait to see what it was going to be like on current gen.

They could have dropped new maps and DLC and fans would have bought it up... -But they dropped the ball and did just the Campaign's with no new content or story, which was just crazy.

Anyway still hoping Crysis 4 is the whole Chicken Sandwhich with all the toppings.... Can't wait.

PrinceOfAnger137d ago (Edited 137d ago )

Yeah It will probably be 5 years development

SimpleSlave137d ago (Edited 137d ago )

That's awesome. So how long till the studio closes and everyone gets fired?

Series S owners: "but can it run crysis doh?"

Crytek Sends Cease and Desist To A Popular Photo Mode Modder Frans Bouma

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."

Open source the code and dump it on the internet.

mastershredder827d ago

"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.

Mazgamer827d ago (Edited 827d ago )

It's astounding how quickly someone uniformed will take a side of soulless company just because a modder might be making some pocket change.

For your information: He puts all of his camera mode mods on GitHub, completely free of charge. His Patreon is nothing more than a way to tip him some cash for his work.

He says so himself on his GitHub page:
I do this for fun, not profit, but can't create cameras for games I don't own. I've therefore setup a Patreon page which allows you to safely support my work".

Are you following "mastershredder", or are you not quite there yet?

Giblet_Head827d ago

I did some digging and from what I can see it's probably the "early access" releases of his mods only through Patreon that may have stirred Crytek to send the C&D. Apart from that his mods are indeed available free of charge through his GitHub page.

CobraKai827d ago

It’s a non-profit mod tho. It confuses me cuz modders can do things like completely overhaul the art assets of a game or add licensed cars, but adding a photo mode seems to get the cease.

Orchard827d ago

I guess they want to be the next T2/Rockstar...

Fishy Fingers827d ago

Rarely do you see something with so much potential (Crytek) shoot themselves in the foot so many times.

BlackIceJoe827d ago

Instead of sending a C&D Crytek should thank him, for this, because this will lead to more people buying and playing the game.
