EA and Crytek have teamed up with legendary composer Hans Zimmer, who created part of the dramatic score for the critically acclaimed first-person shooter Crysis 2, which has already earned Editor’s Choice awards and a 9/10 from both Official Xbox Magazine (UK) and PC Action (Germany). Recognized worldwide for his work on blockbuster films like “Inception” and “The Dark Knight”, Zimmer and his team featuring Lorne Balfe worked with the existing composers Borislav Slavov and Tilman Sillescu to create the intense and dramatic score for Crysis 2 which sets the tone for the game’s backdrop of a devastated New York City in 2023.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
Not so long ago, Crytek shared a common trailer for the entire upcoming trilogy, and this time they decided to devote their attention entirely to the reprint of the second part Saber Interactive is engaged in the development of the remasters, as in the case of the first part, but this time Crytek sent more
Will pass on this for PC, same with Alan Wake remastered. It's just not enough, I would like older games to have a real upgrade, with a brand new engine...
Really like the music in this game. If anyone hasn't played/watched the leak yet then know that the music fits super well with the gameplay. It sometimes makes you have goosebumps (for me at least...)
hans zimmer seems to be the right fit
I adore this composer. He writes really monumental products.
Enjoy my video!
Legendary composer for a legendary failure of a game. This should be fit. None of the versions is good. The turkish Crytekbosses shouldn't have eaten too many turkeys. :=(
But hey, it's said that you become a strong boy, when you eat MEAT. That's because the nanosuits look like hercules on cocaine.
