"We are happy to announce that Mattias Engström, known for his work as Game Director for Hitman 3 at IO Interactive, joins the Crysis family as Game Director for the 4th installment in the Crysis franchise, starting this week."
Crysis 4 is "on hold" and Crytek is facing layoffs - so what does that mean for the company that was once Germany's biggest games dev + the industry as a whole?
I really want to see a Crysis 4 with all the ray-tracing & path-tracing effects. It would be a shame if they canceled the project. Maybe they could do a kickstarter?

" Crysis is something of a tentpole game series for us at Digital Foundry, with a reputation for being an early adopter of graphics technologies that would later define entire generations of PC and console video games. That includes the likes of screen-space ambient occlusion, sub-surface scattering and ray-marched volumetric lighting, but you could write volumes about just how ground-breaking that first game was "
I really hope they come out and push the industry forward like they used to. I miss old crytek
Pretty sad that the studio that gave us a monumental game like Crysis is now subsisting on microtransactions from a live service PVPVE game.
"The shader work that came out of this was mind-blowing at times."
Amazing, often misunderstood
The dumb AI was deliberate, so that the players can explore and experiment with the world and all the features.
It really is. Most people only remember it for its graphics but the gameplay was equally amazing.
Well worth the extra work ! I enjoyed all 3 Crisis games and would also love a new one .
Still wish game development was overall this passionate and minutious about their projects. Obviously, there are still some great studios as exceptions.
I’ll never forget Far Cry 2 and the amount of details they packed in.
Yea there were some issues with the gameplay loop and the sickness aspect but you could tell they really tried to nail details.
I haven't beaten the first Crysis but I did play Crysis 2 and Crysis 3. I know some PC players were annoyed by the last 2 games being developed with consoles in mind but I believe it was an improvement. I had a great time with Crysis 3 to the point where I believe it was too short.
Crytek gives an update on their new Crysis game, confirming that it's still in development, with more to share down the road.
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.
That's awesome. So how long till the studio closes and everyone gets fired?
