I know that a lot of PC gamers hate Crytek for what it did to the Crysis series but let’s face it; this studio had a lot of potential. And when we say a lot, we mean A LOT. German videogames magazine “Gamestar” has reported that Crytek is in big trouble and that it may go bankrupt.
According to Gamestar, the adoption of CRYENGINE is not going well and the word-of-mouth at GDC was negative. Strangely enough, CRYENGINE is currently one of the most optimized engines, so Crytek should really look into its subscription prices otherwise this amazing engine may never be used by other triple-A developers.
Not only that, but Gamestar claims that the development of Ryse was catastrophic for the studio. Just mere months before its release, the game was severely behind and Crytek was able to complete it with additional manpower. And from what we’ve seen thus far, Ryse did not sell as well as Crytek hoped (especially for a console exclusive).
Things are definitely not looking good for Crytek and while Avni Yerli claimed that a cash injection for the company is finally imminent (with a contract to be signed really soon), a lot of big publishers are waiting for a possible bankrupt in order to sign the talent and shop the IPs from Crytek.
For what is worth, Wargaming is listed as a possible buyer of Crytek. If Wargaming does buys Crytek, we can kiss goodbye to all of the studio’s single-player games (as Wargaming is best known for its Free-To-Play games). In short, this may be the end of the Crytek we knew.
But what has happened and the team is facing this major financial issues? According to Yerli, there were “dramatized rumors” from disgruntled ex-employers, something that obviously had a negative impact to Crytek’s public image. Additionally, Crytek has more than 800 employees (a number so huge that explains the company’s possible financial issues). Moreover, Gamestar reported that salaries were paid late and leading employees were sending applications to other studios at home and abroad. And if that wasn’t enough, Warface was only successful in Russia and Crytek’s G-face platform was a big flop.
In short, Crytek is currently in deep trouble and we don’t know whether the studio will be able to recover. And yes, PC gamers can now say to Crytek “We told you so, you had to keep Crysis exclusive to the PC and keep pushing the graphical boundaries.”
So yes, today you have the right to say that you told them so. And let me conclude this article with a small tribute to Inon Zur’s amazing score for the first Crysis game!
[UPDATE]
As anyone would expect, Crytek denied Gamestar’s report. As Eurogamer reported, the information in the GameStar article is a rumor which Crytek denies.
Now let me remind you what happened with Gametrailers a while back. Michael Pachter tweeted one day that Gametrailers would be sold to another company. Gametrailers denied those claims, but shortly after E3, the website got sold to Defy Media just like Pachter claimed. Moreover, a lot of GT’s staff was laid off during that transition.
For the time being, Crytek denies the claims so we’ll give it the benefit of the doubt. Still, we remain a bit skeptical about this whole thing. After all, where there is smoke there is – usually – fire.

“I know that a lot of PC gamers hate Crytek for what it did to the Crysis series” ????
Crysis 3 one of my favorites stealth approach games!
Anyway, Ryse probably will be announced to PC and good luck for Crytek!
Smokey!

Besides the horrible creative (storyline) direction of the Crysis series after Warhead, the games were spectacular on the PC.
Well at least for me its was better than average storylines of a bunch of games like Watch Dogs!
But yeah nothing extraordinary. still gameplay is solid, great graphics, today better optimized.
Crysis 2 is ugly but better storyline than 2.
Well never played Crysis 1.
Crysis 3 gave me cancer.
I realized that by ur words! good treatment!
He just had to go play Crysis 1 which cured his cancer.
lmao!
really? crysis 3 was a stealth approach game? wow. crysis 3 doesnt hold a candle to crysis 1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K03DWRS9Mag
I finished Crysis 3 with majority kills in stealth fashion or simply let enemies alive while only walk-through scenarios without killing any of them.
Damn zombie brains shotters fanboy…theres more than guns in games…
Probably played Metro in a non-stealth approach too?!
More Stealth approach games:
Bioshock
Metro
Crysis 3
Skyrim
Rust
BattleField 4
I personally thought Crysis 3 redeemed itself after the mess of Crysis 2.
Also this news is kind of worrisome for the future of Crysis, Homefront & Hunt.
I kind of swore off Crysis after 2 and what I saw of 3 didn’t impress me enough to make me want to get it. Does it really return the series to 1’s standards?
Not in Crysis 1’s standards at all…TBH, only Crysis and Crysis Warhead were great games..
I mean sure Crysis 3 wasn’t as great as the original Crysis, but I felt Crysis 3’s campaign was much better than what Crysis 2 had to offer with its very linear and smaller map gameplay.
Problem with that is Crysis 2’s campaign was horrible, so most games have better campaigns that it.
It came with DX9 only, textures looked awful, it looked worse than Crysis 1, “press start to begin”, only pre-set graphical options., no editor on launch
Yes with the DX11 patch and HD textures, Maldos mod fixed it better.
On it’s own yeah but not what we were expecting for a sequel.
good, i hope sucking ms dick was worth there company.
Ryse must have cost a fortune and they almost certainly lost money on it. Same with Crysis 3. Their F2P attempts will probably flop.
Sorry, that’s just business.
And if they were making Sony exclusive, you’d be whining like crazy because you are nothing but a Sony shill meekly trying to get some “Payback” for the repeated ownings over the past few weeks.
Anyway. Some Eastern European company like CD Projekt will pick them up and they will be back to delivering PC Master Race exclusives at 1080P 60FPS.
Not on PS4. PC master race :^)
Get mental help. It’s not healthy to hate pieces of plastic and people who like playing video games on them.
My PC is better than yours and I know more about technology than you. You are worthless demented human waste. Keep squirting that angry futile mustard everywhere. You aren’t changing anything.
Apparently PS4’s stronger hardware, ~3.5 million sales lead, large number of 1st party developers, more games, and more developer support have microsoft fanboys extremely upset, causing them to spread lies and hatred. Thankfully everyone is ignoring these children and buying PS4s like hotcakes anyway.

That’s a lot of lies and hatred over PS4’s stronger console hardware, ~3.5 million sales lead, large number of 1st party developers, more games, and more developer support. 8+ million and counting. Nothing you say will stop it, you are helpless. Keep lying and hating while everyone else ignores you.
Mustard peasant spreading lies and hatred. You must have issues to literally hate a piece of plastic and people who like gaming on consoles.
The real “god gaming race” owns both a good PC and consoles, and they find your lies, hatred, and ignorance disgraceful. Keep crying and squirting that mustard everywhere.
Mustards don’t have “a point”, they just hate anyone who doesn’t have the time, money, or interest in building and maintaining a PC, and hate the fact that consoles offer a comparable gaming experience and exclusive games they can’t have. Unless they grow up and buy a console themselves, which isn’t that expensive compared to their imaginary quad SLI 4k PCs.
The most hateful, demented mustards have laughable mid-range PCs with GTX 650 Tis that can’t even run the latest games at 1080p 60 fps very high/ultra settings. They’re mostly poor peasants who pirate all their games and hate anything they can’t download off a torrent.
All these delusional mustards thinking affordable 4k is coming next year, $150 mid range cards can do 1440p 60 fps in a few years, and mobiles will be as powerful as a 1.84 TF console in a few years. Good lord.
Not everyone wants to game on PCs, if they wanted a gaming PC they would have bought one.
PS4 has some interesting architecture benefits over traditional split CPU/GPU split memory pool PCs, and other GPGPU customizations. PS4 is comparable to a mid range PC at 1.84TF considering the APU and GPGPU architecture benefits and low level single platform coding. For $400 you get a lot of price/performance, more than a $400 PC would get you. PS4 is better than most PCs. PS4 will have lots of good exclusives, both console only and PS4 only. Wait for later 1st parties to show what PS4 can do.
Xbox/PC fanboys seem to be on a war on people too poor or unwilling/unable to spend time and money buying, building, and maintaining a PC. Mustard race claiming they can afford multi-thousand dollar PCs but too poor to buy a $200-400 console.
Both PS4 and Xbox will have good exclusive games, high end PCs are best for multiplatform games if you have the time, money, and effort to build and maintain one. Only deranged fanboys keep chewing their own legs off screaming about “PS4 peasants”.
Oh boy, an article full of mustard racers chewing their own legs off screaming about peasants and bad PC ports. Not sure how they can hate other people who don’t have the time, money, and/or interest in building and maintaining a gaming PC.
High end PCs will always be a tiny market, most PC gaming is done on low end PCs playing League of Legends, WoW, or other F2P or MMOs. Console game sales sustain the AAA industry, they’ll get the majority of developer focus most of the time in multiplatform games. Just because someone builds a $1000+ PC doesn’t mean anyone is obligated to make games for them.
You sound upset that developers aren’t catering to the tiny number of high end PC users that actually pay for their games.
PS4 is raising the bar, it’s stronger than most PCs. You’re not getting a console that costs $400 and performs like an $1000 PC.

Targeting the widest range of consumers is called “business”, not “holding back innovation”. You’re making irrational demands for businesses to target the tiny number of high end PCs instead of the relatively gigantic number of mobiles, low end PCs/laptops, and consoles.
8+ million PS4s and counting. Nothing you say will stop it, you are helpless. Keep lying and hating while everyone else ignores you.
PS4 has great price/performance value for $400. They aren’t going to sell $900 consoles for $600 anymore like the PS3. That’s business suicide.
Businesses exist to make money, that’s why PS4 has the specs and price it does. Your expectations for a $400 box are what’s ridiculous. Wait for Naughty Dog to show what PS4 is really capable of.
I assume you pirate everything including Windows. PC master parasite more like it. Console game sales sustain the AAA industry. If it were all PC most games would be free to play or always online MMO type games that can’t be pirated, i.e. League of Legends, World of Warcraft, etc.
We know it’s your alt account already derp. Your copy paste is stale.
Spam elsewhere.
Nice one 🙂
1080P 60FPS, phhhhhh 144hz or bust.
Should have mentioned that should be the minimum :^)
Once you go 1440P 120FPS, it’s hard to adjust back. The response time is that good.

Yawn. Derp again. Reported for spam.
I blame EA.
I blame Xbots for not buying Ryse.
No, the game needed to be more innovative. I’m an Xbox One owner but I won’t buy it until it get’s discounted. Sorry, but it doesn’t have enough innovation in it, graphically it’s superb, and the combat system is nicely done if a little repetitive.
It just needed to have better gameplay 🙁
Ryse is exactly like the first batman game arkham asylum. Good story great graphics easy complex fighting system yet lacks depth . What happened with arkham city story was better graphics was more refined and the combat added upgrades unlocks and depth Ryse 2 will be a great game. You don’t like the game that’s fine but the game was a great launch title and a solid foundation for a new ip to be built upon.. gamers are sick these days wanting companies and games to go out of business because they might not be on the platform you pledge your alliance 2…
They are nothing alike, what are you on dude?!
Better question is “What are you on Mua?”
They’re pretty damn similar…Did you not play Batman? Do you not understand that the game has you using different tactics for different enemies but still having a very simplistic design.
I was more than happy to pick up Ryse… It was a definite 8/10 game for me… Just needed more work on the Story/Combat and it could’ve been a top quality game.
I hope Microsoft buys Crytek, they already said they almost bought them out years ago.
…what?
yeah, i guess the fighting mechanics are similar, but asylum was an open, metroid/zelda inspired game with puzzles, secrets, stealth and lots of boss fights. ryse was a linear, beat-em-up with none of that stuff. ryse was ok, i thought, but batman was *a lot* deeper and a better game for it.
Thank you, it’s like that guy played neither game tbh. They couldn’t be more different (except for a very superficial similarity in the brawling mechanics) and you’re right, the Arkham games are in a league of their own, several tiers higher than Ryse.
So do I, that way Crytek’s turd tech demos are quarantined as much as possible.
Here come the Sony tears again. Always crisp, refreshing and soul nourishing.
Actually Sonydrones want Crytek dead because they get upset when someone shows the 60FPS WebMs of Crysis 3 in game showing it’s better than the Uncharted 4 CGI trailer while released in 2013. They get that upset.
Its OK to be upset. GTA V will NEVER EVER come to PC right?
lol
PC is the master race :^)

Oh look it’s derp spamming again after he gets blown out by Master Racers.
You are doing a fantastic job convincing us to hate Sony and their fanbase even harder, by the way.
What’s Sony got to do with Crytek being a shit dev?
Don’t worry, maybe EA will buy up their remains after they finally die and they might put out a game more than once every four years. :^)
Oh look. Here’s those tears again that Crytek put out a more visually impressive game than Uncharted 4’s CGI trailer in 2013 with Crysis 3 (And it was open world. Not a linear corridor shooter like Uncharted) and more backpedalling that you ran in to cry because they made a Micro$haft title then got blown out by Superior PC Master Racers pointing out that Crytek’s superior visuals blow out anything on the puny 900PS4. No wonder your upvotes are from Sonydrone accounts with no posts. You are so booty blasted you have to sock upvotes. But then you are the biggest booty blasted Sonydrone on disqus outside of derp.
Based Eastern European development will rescue them anyway. CDPR most likely. Mainly because PC is the master race and provides superior master race gaming unlike the 900PS4. You seem upset that superior PC gaming wins every single time.
Again, what’s this got to do with Sony? This is about Crytek being a crap dev that’s underdelivered time and time again, expanded too quickly and now its chickens are coming home to roost. Is master race really making excuses for Ryse too? How the mighty have fallen. 🙂
If you want to take that up with someone, take it up with your God Cevat Yerli. That’s if you can find after he goes into hiding to escape his creditors!
Yeah, I heard that F2P giant Wargaming’s looking at snapping it up. Considering Crytek’s future input, you wouldn’t be able to see any difference. :^)
>>>/y/ :^)
You seem to be upset that the PC Master Race already has games that outperform the Uncharted 4 CGI Trailer and are in full booty blasted mode. Don’t worry, the PC Master Race will continually outperform the 900PS4 throughout the generation.
But I thought Crytek weren’t a master race developer anymore? They got contaminated by shitty console peasantry. You should be pleased the Great Betrayer is receiving his comeuppance. :^)
Interesting new developments: looks like the paychecks stopped coming in after MS cancelled Ryse 2 and stopped sending in money. Apparently CryEngine’s documentation is a mess too and developers are sticking with Unreal, Unity or their own in-house engines. Looks like Cevat Yerli’s head’s on the chopping block. You’ll have to find a new God to make your tech demos masquerading as games. :^)
>>>/y/
Crytek never did. They still provided engines to the top and were always master race devs first. But keep on sliding because you are a SonyDrone caught. I’ll make sure to laugh at Naughty Dog’s tech demo when it gets downgraded like every other PS4 game.
Keep sliding. It’s not working any more. Just like Nintenyearolds and Master Racers laugh you out of Anti-Sony threads lately, Sex Genie. All you have to do is post laughing at neogaf or Sony, and you show up defending them with all your might and sliding the thread.
>>>/Dualshillers/
“B-based Crytek never let me d-down!!!” Yeah, they did. They shifted to consoles, then when that shit the bed they shifted to F2P. They have eight studios and produced nothing of value other than an engine most developers hate because the documentation and support is terrible.
Your Based God Cevat Yerli is about to get slaughtered and all you can do is meme your way out. Don’t worry, if you need another egotist to make tech demos for you, make a petition for Brendan McNamara to make games on PC. :^)
>>>/y/
Desperate. Crytek always provided the greatest tech to the master race first.
But then your based Naughty Gods are about to be exposed with their CGI tech demo and the revalation all the talent left years ago. Don’t worry. There will be plenty of bullshot trailers for you to defend like MGS V (Which still looks like a PS2 game) and press X to win garbage from David Cage
>>>/mlp/
In even more new developments, the rot has spread all the way to Shanghai. The bell tolls for the mustard’s favourite Turk. But hey, keep sliiiiiiiiiding it for Cevat by bringing up Sony when the topic is about Crytek failing!
>>>/y/
>>>/mlp/
>>>/lgbt/
Sony drone still screaming about being caught upvoting their own comments with sock accounts and shilling Sony on a master race website. Tries screaming about “b-b-but Crytek is failing” instead when they are cutting the fat and have to restructure. Then posts le go back 2 memes.
Keep trying. Oh and since it’s about failure. Kaz Hirai is still running Sony into the ground even worse than ever. Sony is always relevant :^)
>>>/mlp/
Oh shit! Sliiiiiiiiiiiide it! Sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide it for Uncle Cevat! He will make Crysis 4 which will be another tech demo and I will be able to stop crying myself to sleep! Sliiiiiiiiiiiiiide it!

So you idiots wake up already.
That’s the Xbone, chuck. No games until 2016 hahahahah!
“It’s more fun on Xbox One!” Yeah, in some indeterminate point in the future! Hahahahaha! Cry harder, Dakan. :^)
Right its not like sunset overdrive is coming out in 2015 then again you are clueless bout the very thin you are bashing, cry harder faggot.
Sunset Under-ressed and its hilarious maymays sure as f*ck ain’t a reason to get a Bone!
right but the order a game that is more linear and scripted than a damn movie is sooooooooooooo much better, wohohoh cover based shooter, how original, get real dipsht.
When did I ever say The Order was a reason to get a PS4, or would even be any good? Idiot!
so what is the reason to own a ps4 IDIOT? infamous? played the last 2 they sucked BALLS, so far ps4 has no games, its a dead empty desert of no games, enjoy your indiestation 4.
But i forgot you morons are hyping bloodborne despite the fact there was no gameplay shown.
Pathetic.
Infamous is a good series, plus the PS4 is an all-round better console than the Shitbox Done.
And yes, Bloodborne gameplay was shown. There’s footage out there you can find easily if you were capable of conducting a Google search. 🙂
“Infamous is a good series”
BAHAHAHAHAHAH no just no
The first infamous had horrible graphic and animations and was utterly repettive and borring, same thing all over, fight in rooftops and shoot spakrs by waving your finger and take cover, because apparently not having a gun when it pretty much works like a gun is considered good.
How the hell that overrated piece of crap got 9 in gamespot is beyond me even prototype was better than that nonsense, not that you ever played it because you said that you were a x360 user last gen. Infamous 2 is a joke and sold like crap anyway.
Infamous ss might be good but its utterly repettive, take the graphics and the particles away and ges a 7.5
Sold badly yet they keep making that nonsene, i guess thats why sony is goign bankrupt.
” PS4 is an all-round better console than the Shitbox Done.”
Never argued the opossite, i just said that sony are c3nts and you shouldnt damage control for them. Xbox was a better and more powerfull console than ps2, but it didnt do anything for it, since ps2 had the exlusives.
You are FINALLY right about something there is some gameplay for bloodborne, my god its like a dark souls mod. Same animations same slashing sounds, same gameplay it even has a curse and the white fog.
If you dont like dark souls this game is irrelevant.
Wow, all that butthurt over a good series like Infamous. Hate to see how you’d react to a great one like Uncharted!
What’s to damage control? Everything they’ve messed up so far this year I’ve roundly criticised. Only one damage controlling here is you for Crytek and Microsoft. :^)
“over a good series like Infamous.”
Good series? The first game was repettive as h3ll and medicore, the second one was worse and if you look at the sales they are subpar, infamous seires are your typical repettive copy and paste open world game and again THEY ARE NOT MAKING PROFIT, they are not sucessfull and you call it a “good series”
BAHAHAHAHHAHA
Uncharted is a good series on the other hand that sold well and got rated well.
Keep damage controling for a company that doesnt care about you timmy.
Get help.
In your opinion. Reaction to the Infamous series has been roundly positive. But then you’re just another Xbot butthurt that your brand’s glory days are long past. :^)
..
I’d rather Crytek NOT get bought out by Microsoft. Otherwise it’ll just be another in a long line of bullshit, half baked, poorly done console exclusives. Crytek should stick to decent multi-platform titles like the Crysis series instead.
MS would own Timesplitters-I can’t deal with that because I’m not buying an xbox just for that…
Pretty sure there is a fanmade game coming out that already has permission from the rights holders.
I think you can see the general consensus, it is you that needs to stop the drugs man.
If MS buys Crytek, you can kiss their PC gaming department goodbye. Hopefully Crytek doesn’t do that to themselves, i’d rather them go bankrupt and join CIG.
You do realize Microsoft has been holding up to their promise on continuing to support PC. Why wouldn’t they continue to do so?
The only thing they have done is try to sabotage PC gaming. Remember GFWL? Well, they just said they weren’t dropping support and that was the only thing that us PC gamers had to look forward to when it comes to Microsoft and PC. They say they have a “renewed focus on PC gaming” but we’ve all heard it before. Actions speak louder than words and so far, Microsoft has done nothing good for the PC community.
+1,I agree with everything you said!
Also,don’t forget about a more recent event – Unveiling of Mantle.The only reason we are going to get D3D 12 is because AMD forced their hand with Mantle.
Also,the only reason I’m using windows is because I am forced to do so,since I’m a PC gamer.In any case,just like you said,M$ has only tried to sabotage PC gaming
P.S. – I know Mantle will most probably(99%) die when D3D 12 is released.
wtf…..what a terrible comparison. Batman AA is widely regarded as a great game, it received critical acclaim. ryse on the other hand….
Apart from the fact Arkham was a good game and Ryse was a load of shit.
Literally none of what you said made any sense.
You’re joking? Asylum had great combat and level design/puzzles. Sure Arkham was obviously bigger but Asylum had the same DNA.
Arkham Asylum was a great game! Many prefer it over City.
Ryse 2 doesn’t even exist.
what the bloody hell do you mean innovative..? i hate people who throw the words ‘innovative’ and ‘mediocre’ around without any explanation..? ¬__¬
Not even graphicly. It is ridiculous it was 900p.
Having a game run at a native resolution of sub -1080p doesn’t mean is not visually or technically impressive. Ryse is definitely one of the most beautiful new gen titles so far.
Believe me that is false.
COME ON how the fuck can anyone take you seriously? You can’t even spell graphically correctly! You would not know 900p if it hit you in the face.
I misspelled it becausem of my phones auto correct. Anyway There is no excuse for it being at
So you want to find me a better looking action game? Go ahead find a game that had the lighting, texture resolution, and NPC count. The game was a technical marvel whether you liked to play it or not.
No one can see the difference between 900p vs. 1080p. Not a single person knew Killzone was sub 1080p they had to be told months later…
I don’t know about that the picture comparison showed that the 1080p one looked better. I don’t know of I would call Ryse Son of Quick Time a fantastic looking. It look good but also looked really boring.
Nope, the reason the “1080p” Ryse looked better was the pixel count not because its 1080p… The lowered the pixels so they could have more action, NPC’s, and better LOD on the screen.
You have not even played the game, or understand the technology. Yet you feel qualified to judge the game?
It may not be the best game ever but, for a launch title its still a great game that got shit on only because it was not on a Sony console.
They never gave a really good reason why they downgraded the resolution. It got shot on because it is a boring quick time event filled game.
I just told you why they lower the rez… are you not paying attention at all?
” The lowered the pixels so they could have more action, NPC’s, and better LOD on the screen.”
“. It got shot on” That is not English!
” boring quick time event filled game.” Then so is God of War, Bayoneta, and Devil may cry. Except for the fact Ryse actually required skill to attack, and not be hit in the back. Where as with the other games listed you can button mash to victory. Hell every game is the same thing over and over… every single shooter ever made is the same boring shoot, duck, heal, shoot, shoot, throw grenade. Every RPG is the same, run around, fight monsters, heal, fight monsters, heal, buy new gear, fight monsters, heal, fight boss, heal, buy new gear, victory.
Except those other three games have better combat then Ryse. They did not have nearly as much QTE’s. Ryse is boring as hell. The critics ageee and most people agree because it sold like shit.
Better? Do you mean more button mashie and flashy? Then yes. That’s the problem Ryse is about timing and skill (on the harder difficulties). If you want a boring QTE fest go play Heavy Rain, or Beyond: TS (god what an awful name).
Cry some more, sony pony.
WTF are you babbling about??? I am talking about how great RYSE looked. Why the insult of Sony Pony?
I can see what yo upvote, hear this yoshida was asked about the lack of AAA on ps4 and he said that AAA games are too expensive so there gonna be less AAA games on ps4 but there are more and more indie games on ps4
indiestation 4 confirmed.
Enjoy “next gen” call me in 2-3 years when ps4 has enough exlusives worth buying.
Or you could go with pc and get indie and AAA games… Just sayin…
hey idiot, pc gaming is booming, you mad stupid sony c3m licker?
Would have bought it, if it wouldn’t contain so much unneeded gore.
Yep, u heard right… too much splatter and gore keeps me from playing certain games, i am not 14 anymore.
Did you jump straight to your 80’s?
I blame their Free to play is the way strategy, which in turn is failing,
I’d rather pay for a game then have to pay to play.
Rose sucked ass.
blame computer geeks for rambling about their dead platform
Are you talking about PC gaming? If you are then you are a moron. PC gaming is obliterating console gaming.
pc makes more money than all console combined, cry some more.
because?
Crysis 3 is not on Steam
What game industry ills can’t we blame EA for?
Atari version of E.T.
im done, goodnight.
I blame AMD with Mantle and shit like that.
Even so games that have the Mantle option run really well on AMD cards.
I still remember crysis 1. Man.. that was a really good game. A gpu and cpu killer too. Was awesome.
Crysis was the game that benchmarked every single card, micro, hdd, soundcard… gonna miss you, yes you, jungle under 0c. Cold place…
Even to this day, Crysis 1 is still used as a benchmark, because, even though it’s been 7 years since its release, the game stills looks amazing and sometimes even better than modern games.
Crysis 3 is the best looking game ever… 2 bad it’s not like the 1st in gameplay.
Why they didn’t just do a cheap remastering of 1-3 for next generation makes no sense to me either. The hardware is finally there and there would be an expected ROI as there’s not much competition yet.
I had my first top end PC built specifically to be able to play Crysis on it’s top settings. It was an amazing experience. Only to be ruined by the sequels turning aliens into humanoid foes and just doing everything wrong with the series.
Big three buyout?
i can see ms buying them. or nintendo doing it for the lulz.
I have zero respect for Crytek producing boring FPS titles and letting the Timesplitters Franchise rot.
I love the part “we told you so, you should have stayed exclusive to PC” when their PC exclusive game was pirated 8 out of 9 times and only sold a million copies. PC is not a healthy platform for AAA game development.
I suppose F2P isn’t the savior Crytek thought it was either. So much for that being the future.
Agreed, if more people actually brought games on PC rather than pirate them Crytek might of had the option of staying on PC only. But if they had stayed on PC this company would of gone under 5 years ago.
And I’m incredibly surprised that the CryEngine is not being taken up by a lot more developers. It’s cheaper than Unreal3 AND Unity… plus it’s a better engine for specific types of game, hence the interest from Wargaming(who currently use Big World, which is looking dated).
Such a shame.
Star Citizen and Mechwarrior Online both use CryEngine 3.4. Star Citizen has 458,323 players
There was enough pc gamers who bought the very first crisis how much did it sell over 3 million copies I hear it was around 5 million on the pc. If any thing more games devs and publishers have gone bankrupt because of consoles
ironicly more studios closed down the last 5 years than ever before.
Don’t state false statistics. “8 out of 9 times”? C’mon. Don’t mix fact with opinion, please.
this guy is just a console fanboy trolling… dont waste your finger’s health typing anything to him.
Haha, good point 🙂
Yeah….you wish ,you know that the console content you got from crytek is way worse than the pc content we got.
And that’s because it isn’t possible for console to get the same amount of quality from crytek that crytek is able to deliever.
BTW Crysis 1 sold like a charm on pc and didn’t got pirated a lot.
Crysis 1 did sell well over 3 years, but it also did get pirated a lot. At one point it was leading the piracy charts for 2007. Ignoring the facts just to get a point across is wrong.
The game sold better than their expectations . 1 pirated copy =/= -1 legal purchase . Piracy will always be there , let’s focus on giving quality products to legal buyers .
Crytek was doing fine as long as they were PC only . Only now , we’re hearing that they are in trouble because of disappointing sales of Ryse and other stuff . Cevat had way too much confidence for console sales . Their budget for game development went from 22 million (original Crysis) to 66 million (Crysis 3) and so on .
I’m not debating any of that, I’m just replying to juanme555’s comment that Crysis didn’t get pirated a lot.
It still sold well regardless considering it’s hardware requirements and known to be a PC killer. Doom3 sold half a million more and you won’t find that many FPS that sold as good as Crysis with such requirements.
I did mention it sold well. I also mentioned it got pirated a lot.
Because Crytek wanted to get the CoD sales and got greedy. Make a good game on the PC like Crysis 1 that’s stretches your hardware, like Crysis 1 ,you get good sales, like Crysis 1.
It’s funny, because when you see the games sales numbers, on both Sony and MS consoles, they are usually on par or lower than the sales on PC.
Even funnier, for the last 2 years PC games sales have made a much higher profit than console games (this includes all the consoles). Even the Japs, who hated the PC market have started to port/release their games on PC.
The “piracy kills the industry” is such a freaking myth at this point.
It’s cute that you think that, but just one example, battlefield 3. Better on PC in every way, and yet sold 3x more on Xbox 360 alone. Cut the BS spewing and do some research junior.
That’s because console games need to sell more than the PC in the first place or they’re considered a failure because of Sony and Microsoft silly costs.
You don’t need to buy an SDK for PC, you don’t need to pay to patch your game on PC, PSN and XB1 Live are expensive to put games on and ever wonder why all the Indy devs are on PC? Why more games are released on PC?
Source .?
http://www.vgchartz.com/game/35315/battlefield-3/ – PC sales
http://www.vgchartz.com/game/40231/battlefield-3/ – Xbox 360 sales
When you realize those numbers actually don’t take origin into account, you’ll shit bricks. Nice try but no cigar captain. Majority of BF3 PC sales were origin digital.
Technically on one side, he’s right, Xbox will always outsell all other Platforms when it comes to Battlefield, mainly because of the massive CoD Fanbase there that EA is so actively targeting, but 3x? LOL’d ;D
On the other, yeah, back then, most Sites hadn’t even started integrating Origin into them, so nobody really “tracked” BF3 PC Sales successfully.
Sorry junior, but if you do the research, that argument doesn’t hold up. By the middle of 2012, EA announced that it had sold 15 million copies of battlefield 3 total. Well by then, the console versions had sold 12.5 million units Already, and PC sold 2.3 million at retail, meaning your “digital sales” account for a paltry 200,000 copies. Combined, the console versions have outsold PC by almost 5 times, unless you honestly, and nievely believe there was some magical sales spike in the last half of 2012.
yea right consoler well u need to do some research majority of pc gaming sales comes from digital n digital sales r 5 times more compared to ur console digital sales companies don’t disclose dere digital data dat’s y v never get hear just go on tweeter n ask battlefield developer how many pc digital copies sold it’s fuck’in 9.2 million digital n 3.5 physical dat’s y pc gaming revenue is more dan ur consoles combined dat’s d reason u always be behind d pcs
After wading though the incoherent sludge that you have typed to me, that’s all 100% untrue. 9 million copies digitally? Hahaha. That’s cute. Go do the research. 15 million by mid 2012 total sales in all categories. 12.5 million were console, 2.3 million were PC retail. Digital sales were 200,000. Next time, go back to elementary school so that someone can actually read the things your write. It might make you look a bit less ignorant.
oh god u r so ignorant first of all dat 15 million u said r all physical checked it from d vgchart now vg charts don’t track digital sales it only track physical sales if u don’t believe me y don’t u ask on d tweeter from d developers they might tell u d truth i asked dat’s y telling u dat’s d reason battlefield is pc game not a console game n btw diablo 3 pc exlcusive sold 15 million copies up to date n not even counting digital sales compared to ur average over hyped game tlou god dat game was pathetic sold only 6 million uncharted 3.4 million gosh dat’s not even close………..lol hahahahahah
Bro, you are next level dense. That 15 million figure was given BY EA for TOTAL SALES up to that point. That includes digital, all platforms.
You think diablo 3 sales are impressive? Call of duty does figures like that or better EVERY YEAR on consoles. Now go back to degrading the air around you, dunce.
well bro dat’s y u r a consoler bcuz u don’t accept d facts dat’s d reason u console gamers r so irritating n idot’s bcuz u don’t accept d reality HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE TO TELL U COMPANIES DON’T DISCLOSE DERE DIGITAL DATA N MAJORITY OF PC GAMING SALES COMES FROM DIGITAL v have moved from physical to digital long time ago n i m talking about exclusives ur console exclusives don’t sell dat well compared to pc exclusives n are not on par with them look at wow the biggest money making game from d biggest developer blizzard makes 1 billion dollar a year n it’s making billions of dollars from fuck’in 10 years i don’t think so if i combined ur all of ur exclusives n also gta can make half of it dat’s d reason pc gaming is making more revenue dan combined revenue of consoles just type pc gaming revenue on google u will find out d truth
NPD doesn’t disclose digital, but EA does because THEY ARE THE COMPANY SELLING THE GAME.
Does PC make more revenue worldwide? Maybe. But certainly not in the AAA games market. It makes it off of games like LoL and Dota 2, games that countries that ban consoles can play. That’s not the topic of discussion, though. What we are talking about is the AAA games market, titles like Call of Duty, Battlefield, Assassins Creed, etc. In that market, consoles handily and readily dominate PC. Always have and likely always will.
You think diablo 3 sales are impressive? Call of duty does figures like
that or better EVERY YEAR on consoles.
Sorry to break your braindamaged logic kid, but no matter how many sales cod gets, or gta or assasin creed, the rest are dying, thats why they keep milking the same series and franchises because your precious consoles dont deliver enogh sales to new ips or innovation, so they just keep making samey milked games to get sales.
Enjoy it, thats how its gonna be from now on.
you talkign nosense, now THAT is cute.
look whos talking about research.
Just reallize that you are a clueless clown and STFU.
Crysis sold over 3 million copies on PC (not including digital sales) . How many Sony exclusives sold more than 2 million , apart from Uncharted and TLOU .?
crysis sold 3 million in 4 or 5 years dude, not in one sitting. its still more than crysis 2 and crysis 3 sales combined though, which just proves that consolizing a game forthe COD crowd is not always a good idea. hell, i remember when the beta was leaked, we had more freedom in the leaked beta muiltiplayer than we did inthe final product.
I know , sales of Crysis weren’t jaw dropping in the beginning because it was demanding game and also not so optimized but people came back to it after upgrading their rigs .
Warhead on other hand was demanding but also scaled well across wide range of machines and Crytek admitted that it was best way to make High end PC games .
Later they announced that Crysis and its standalone expansion , Warhead sales are now over 5 million , which is insane amount of sales for benchmark game .
Sony fanboys and mainstream media was praising best selling PS3 game TLOU’s 6 million sales like something very special . Things like that are normal on PC . Look at Diablo 3’s over 15 million sales , or Starcraft 2’s over 8 million sales and so on . 5 million copies for Crysis type game is brilliant . And now PC alone is making more revenue than all 5 consoles , yet was dying platform .? Yet PC was home of pirates .? Wow … just wow . Why don’t they speak the truth that they loved EA’s money .
That must be why the PC faithful CD Projekt is rolling in money because PC is not a healthy platform for AAA game development.
If they were really rolling in that much money they wouldn’t have gone multiplatform in the first place, just saying.
yeah, why would a company want to expand their market, sell more games, and make even more money? that’s why minecraft is pc only – mojang made millions off of pc sales so there was no need for them to port the game to other platforms. your logic is unflappable.
Which in turn confirms that PC alone (just like any other platform) is not a healthy platform for development, and developers need to expand. Also, Minecraft is not a AAA game, and its budget is nowhere close to that of AAA games. Porting costs effort and manpower; if a single platform could easily offset this cost, there would be no point in porting to other platforms, especially those like Xbox and PlayStation which take a significant cut out of sales.
I’m sure your logic is unflappable just like mine, so you should have no trouble understanding this.
my point was, a company’s desire to maximize profit by expanding to one market does not discount the health of another.
If a single platform could help a company maximize its profits in the first place, it would have no reason to expand. Especially when you consider the fact that PC has no royalty fees. Yet companies port to more restricted platforms. Which is what I’m trying to put across… a single platform cannot be considered “healthy” enough to sustain AAA game development in the long term, unless you have first-party publisher backing like MS or Sony.
It doesn’t mean that a PC ecosystem is unhealthy you dense motherfucker, it means that it’s more profitable to hit more platforms. CDProjektRED rescued themselves from bankrupcy by betting on the PC and on delivering a good product rather than a well marketed, dumbed down one.
“It doesn’t mean that a PC ecosystem is unhealthy you dense motherfucker”
It means you haven’t understood my comment you dense motherfucker. Go back dense motherfucker, read my previous comments dense motherfucker, then come ask me nicely and I’ll explain it to you, dense motherfucker.
I read it well. You said the PC alone isn’t a healthy platform. And it fucking is, it’s just more profitable to go multiplat. Things aren’t just black or white, you sound like a peasant. But good job showing your autism anyway.
“I read it well. You said the PC alone isn’t a healthy platform”
I’m sorry dense motherfucker, you fail at understanding. Try again, dense motherfucker? Obviously comprehension isn’t part of your peasant upbringing, dense motherfucker. I can repeat it real slow if you want me to, dense motherfucker.
“hurr you don’t understand I am so retarded durr herp my shit tastes so awesome”
I can see that. Take care.
I didn’t mean to offend you dense motherfucker. Before you go, take this bit of knowledge with you… I said PC alone isn’t a healthy platform in the long term when developing AAA games. Just like any console. Keyword: Long term. Keyword: AAA games. Unless you have first-party backing like Sony or MS. Keyword: First-party. So yeah, hurr durr and shit tasting and all that jazz, dense motherfucker.
May you go forth and swallow with care.
Lmao at you to you guys seriously have no clue what you are talking about. PC is what games are Designed on. Consoles get them then PC usually gets a shitty console port because consoles cant handle what PC’s can. Console actually destroy gaming. Thats one thing I like about Star Citizen being PC only because atleast now we wont get a shitty console ported game.
Lmao you also have no clue what I’m talking about.
And yes, consoles suck.
Thats true because you dont have any clue what you’re saying so why not just stop.
That’s also true because you have no idea what you’re saying either so why not just stop.
Ok kid get over your self. I dont need to prove myself that facts are out there.
Your facts don’t matter because you’re in the wrong discussion. Read the other comments first before your start commenting yourself. No one is saying console is better than PC here.
Nope Im pretty sure Im in the Right one.
No I’m the Right one. You’re the Left one.
Devs go multiplatform when their games are successful , not when they fail . They get money to port the game to other platform and advertise it again .
They ran out of money that’s why they canceled White Wolf project for consoles . They used rest of the money to develop Witcher 2 which was profitable enough to not only make Witcher 3 on all platforms , market it better but design their own digital distribution platform along with it .
I never said devs go multiplatform when they fail… I said devs need to go multiplatform in order to maintain AAA development standards in the long term, unless they have first-party backing. There’s a huge difference in what I said and what you understood.
this argument makes no sense. going multiplaform has nothing to do with money. they own gog.com, they make lots of money. maybe do some research before you make commens like these.
LMAO wtf are you talking about I would just stop saying anything at this point. Pc not a healthy platform lmao
PC is the safest platform of them all as custom part sales just keep on rising year after year while pre-builts decline.
PC is the master race and the future of gaming.
My point Exactly
Way wrong sir. Crysis 3 was a total failure in any plataform. EA stated that even piracy copies were too low…
Consoles peasant 8 out of 9 times dumb fanboy! lmao!
huh? no company has ever complained about “too low” piracy, least of all EA.
anway, it’s true that crysis 3 wasn’t pirated much, but it’s because it was never properly cracked – the crack that’s available is buggy as hell. it never got a proper scene release.
it did cracked and they cracked it day one without any bug or something because there wasn’t any news about it and there wasn’t any new type of DRM for the game
Dont care about him…faggot fanboy!
Didnt say that EA complained or not about piracy. and blah blahblahblah…go back play little big planet!
close you ass and talk less, then die
Kid you really have no clue what you are talking do you. Pirated games lol you do realize that Multiplayer games like Battlefield can not be played online if its pirated through Origin or steam. So your example is mute. PC will always Dominate Consoles look at Star Citizen 485,323 Players in Alpha right now. This game will not be on Consoles. It can’t even handle this game.
Haha, 485k in alpha is impressive to you? That’s all PC gamers have to look forward to in terms of exclusives. Do you have any idea how many more people there will be in the halo 5 beta? Hell, every single year that many players are on call of duty just on Xbox platforms.
Oh, and I know that there are many gamers who can get around the cheat bustig services on PC and play online with pirated copies all the time. Good try though little man.
You have lost your mind Kid They dont even have that many players. Go learn something then come back
Uh, yes they do. You need to actually look at the stats and stop making yourself
Look like an ignorant child.
I’ve seen the stats
you are the ignorant and the clueless clown, go suck some sony dck idiot.
love the part that i punched you in the face console idiot, the pc version has sold more than crysis 2 on all systems.
“PC is not a healthy platform for AAA game development.”
nor are consoles thats why we have experianced the most failures and close downs of entire studios
PWND1!!
But ofcourse you are the typical clueless consoletard.
They expanded too fast for their own good. I heard rumors about a game dev being in trouble a few months ago, but didn’t figure it was CRYTEK :
Good, that’s what you get for focusing on free to play. Warface probably didnt even break even for their development costs. And rightly so since their studio head was touting free to play as the next coming of christ.
indeed. they deserve to go bankrupt.
Eh, I figure they’ll be saved if they downsize properly & re-focus on what they actually “know” how to do, otherwise yeah, bye bye, & good riddance.
I hope so as it would be a shame to see the talented devs out of jobs just because the big cheese had to chase some pipe dreams.
I hope things pick up for them now that they’re bringing the Cryengine to Mac and Linux in addition to the platforms they already support. I look forward to seeing how well they do in porting that engine to the APIs used on those platforms like OpenGL.
those damn console pirates. If only more of them had bought Ryse and not just downloaded it 😛
is not their fault the xbone sold like shit at launch. No one expected the xbone to take such a beating from the PS4.
Stop being a pony. Ryse is right around 1 million sales and remember it is only in 13 regions. When the full launch is complete it will easily clear a million and that is great for a new ip launch title.
The whole Ryse didn’t sell good stuff is bull. And even though the Ps4 sold lots of consoles it doesn’t change that the X1 sold lots of consoles. It still have a base that can clear a million plus software sells after only 7 months.
This article seems to be reaching to paint things in a negative.
Crytek turn their backs on pc gamers, I was one of the biggest supporter. We pc gaming master race warned game devs and publishers. Now look at cryteck they love them consoles so much they are now going bankrupt.
What a shame really. 🙁

the reason Crytek went to consoles was because they were making no money on PC. So staying PC exclusive would have killed them even faster….
over 5 million on pc dunny it was like around 5 million
death of PC games have been greatly exaggerated.
http://ca.ign.com/articles/2008/09/30/crysis-warhead-post-release-qa
They maked much more money on pc ,and they had much better reputation with their pc products.
No they didnt. Crysis 1 sold 80,000 copies in two months. It only started selling when it was dirt cheap.
that was only in the german market.
It’s started selling more as people got better hardware, it was a system killer for it’s time, make not mistake about it.
I didn’t say instantly ,but Crysis 1 is a cult piece of the pc gaming ,it’s sales are huge ,specially with the steam sales.
Maybe that’s an indicator that games in general are priced too high. There’s a bigger profit margin in digital sales, much bigger than in boxed copies for obvious reasons.
Digital copies can be priced much lower and will still create more revenue per sale even.
Crytek made money on Crysis, see the quote above. Also, Crysis had very high requirements on release, it probably sold better as time went on. Whos fault is that hey?
And no, console dev is more expensive, devs don’t have to pay for silly console costs, Cervat admitted that. Crysis still sold over 3 million copies, that’s very good for a FPS considering it’s requirements.
Sonydrone logic.
PC gaming is growing faster than ever. Their biggest mistake was developing for consoles.
only they made more on pc, but ofcourse you missed that.
Crysis: 3 million. Crysis Warhead: 1.5 million. Far Cry: 2.5 million. “Sales crysis” what?

Dear Crytek You deserve it
shut up already go play with your ps4.
what id crytek say about making a profit on pc?
quote ign from ” CEO and President of game developer Crytek said Crysis
cost 15 million Euros (22 million USD) to develop during a panel about
the future of gaming graphics at the Games Convention Developers
Conference in Leipzig, Germany. Yet despite the cost, Yerli maintained
the game was profitable, adding, “if it wasn’t profitable I wouldn’t be
able to stand here.”
In the past, Crytek was responsible for the first-person shooters Far Cry (2004) which ran on its CryEngine 1, and Crysis (2007), which rand on its CryEngine 2. Crysis Warhead, another first-person shooter with ties to Crysis and also built with CryEngine 2, is being readied for release this September.
Yerli gave no word on what other titles the company might produce
between now and 2012, when he believes the studio’s next engine will be
ready and a new generation of consoles will be available.”
Anyone who has been following the game industry wouldn’t find this a bit surprising. Having 9 digit production budgets isn’t a guaranteed ticket to sell 10M+ CoD levels of copies.
here is another qoute from another site”
After listening to the Q3 2008 Electronic Arts
Earnings Conference Call we have learned that Crysis has been a strong
performer with sales having exceeded expectations. EA also reported
Crysis reaching the platinum mark meaning over 1 million copies of the
game have been sold worldwide.”

It seems to me that the company was simply mismanaged. They should have spent their money better, I think. They made a AAA game, but they let that go to their head. They probably thought that they needed a big building, designer furniture, $10,000 computers for each employee, loads of outrageous benefits, etc. – as if that would help them create a better game.
What a idiot microsoft paid for ryse to be developed do you know what that means ? It means crytek didn’t spend a dime Microsoft did. You sound like a full blown entitled pc brat mad crytek went multiplatform. Yea I’m sure crytek is going bankrupt so they said fuk it let’s go to e3 and waste even more money showing this new triple AAA game that’s coming out within a year …
and you sound utterly r3tarded and completly clueless.
Crytek only have them self to blame yea that is right pc gamers warned crytek look at who is laughing now the pc master race!
I dont get what’s wrong with their subscription model for the engine. It’s just like UE4 but cheaper.
They would have killed it if they had made the Crysis games open-world (like Far Cry). Each game limited the movement of the player more and more, until Crysis 3 was just a series of little rooms with tons of unoptimized grass. Maybe Crysis 4 would have had the player battling inside a series of 20-million-polygon cardboard refrigerator boxes.
They were going after the cod market unfortunately, what a waste of obvious talent.
You talking about Warface?
No I meant the Crysis series, they started so much better with Crysis 1 and Farcry as well, such a shame.
Hmm, maybe. I think they were going after more of a narrative-driven experience, which means they needed to tighten up the levels. Maybe that was to appeal to the CoD crowd on the consoles? Either way, they moved away from the open-world formula that PC gamers loved in favor of a more controlled experience that PC gamers got tired of way back in Half Life 2.
Open-world is the future – Games with emergent gameplay have done amazing, financially. If Crytek created a vast map to explore (I’m thinking ARMA-sized) with vehicles and alien invaders, maybe multiplayer clan wars, gamers would eat it up. We wouldn’t even need a Nanosuit. 🙂
Hey I know what you are saying but you can’t put cod and HL2 in the same box, HL2 is in a different league entirely, but yeah they are both more narrative driven experiences I suppose.
I agree they needed to go back to the open world style of game instead of selling out, if they only stuck to their strengths they might not be in the trouble they are now.
well said.
What does this mean for companies that use the CryEngine? In particular, Star Citizen.
Most likely Crytek will cut working force – SC might have to hire their own engine team.
This, Roberts would simply hire a bunch of Crytek engine devs to work for him instead. SC shouldn’t rely on official engine updates any way. You shouldn’t rely on an external source to fix stuff in your game. You should be in total control of the software you’re producing.
Guys, check the numbers, Ryse has sold close to three times more copies than Crysis3 on PC, and that’s a new console that doesn’t have much hardware out there, compare it to the other launch titles, I would say it was very successful. It also outsold the 360 and PS3 skus. These rumors you’re posting are potentially damaging to lots of people and their families , do some homework before posting rumors.
crysis 2 went down hill and sure with all the pc hate from cryteck and Epic lost tones of pc gaming fans!In all honesty i not longer support game devs that hate their fan base!
last time I checked pc game devs haven’t been going bankrupt unlike console game dev publishers and console game devs!
They have, but only when they’ve thought flipping their costumers the bird was a brilliant marketing move.
“Ryse has sold close to three times more copies than Crysis3”
source ? and how do you know about PC sales ?
Journalists have access to the NPD numbers, and non-journos have vgchartz.com, which isn’t as accurate, but still.
You can’t compare Ryse with Crysis 3 as Ryse is an XBox1 exclusive and Crysis 3 is isnt’ on the next gen consoles. Ryse got shipped with the console in bundles to boost XB1 sales anyway.
Check the numbers I’m sure you’ll find most people returned it when they discovered the games was complete garbage.
actually its on par with shadowfall with the most returns.
Ryse PC? Someone’s off his meds I see……
“Sales on Consoles would’ve been 4-5 times more than PC , due to PC piracy” . Enjoy .
FYI Piracy does you no good on Origin or steam Consoles destroys PC games because Consoles use 4 year old technology and cant handle what PC’s can.
I have no idea what you meant by that.
From his comments, he seems like a little child. Go through his other comments further down, they’re hilarious and completely random. I couldn’t resist and even started making fun of him a bit.
Child not hardly I’ve in the the Gaming industry for probably at least 20 years or more. Its not hard to Understand maybe try reading a little better or better yet read his comments first.

Edit: Nevermind, i found it at urban dictionary LOL
mentally ill consoletard having no life other than trolling, how about you go play some games?
Lol yeah and PC version nowhere to be found , yet . So much for “Pc Piracy” .
So?
Oh look, another person who can’t do their own research. https://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/2012/09/22/gaming-piracy-separating-fact-from-fiction It’s a bigger issue on Console than on PC these days.
Ryse Xbox One: 1M
Ryse Youtube edition : 2M views.
Piracy has changed.
Maybe there’s reason not to produce games which are mostly interactive movies.
Then that’s Sony screwed since that’s all they have.
Indeed.

Can’t say I’m sorry to see them go. It seems that they’ve made one bad decision after another while releasing one mediocre product after another. First thinking they could make more on consoles, then making more money with Free to Plays, and now marketing their own Engine. Instead of chasing the dollar they didn’t have they should have built their business around the dollar they did, and expand from there.
Hope they get that cash injection. Kind of looking forward to Homefront 2 even though it looks from their E3 demo to not be tactical.
That’s what happens when you make lame QTE riddled button mashers for shitty consoles.
Developers, take note.
The writing was on the wall but i didn’t expect them to go into bankruptcy. I thought they made okay and fun games but video games are a very volatile business. As for CryEngine if you read about it you will find a lot of hate for it. The general consensus is the tools suck and the documentation on using CryEngine is mediocre. The new subscription model is scaring away indie devs or pissing them off. It was just the FreeSDK with some new stuff that they decided to put a price on. If that didn’t make people switch the EULA would have done it and has pushed devs to use better engines like Unity or UnrealEngine.
I blame Crytek and them alone. You reap what you sow.
WOAH! What about Homefront : Rev ? I’m really anticipating that game! PLEASE! release it before filing for bankruptcy XD
maybe it ala started with the release of the console concentrated crysis 2 and now we are seeing the results of their move to console gaming,deciding to pay much less attention to the platform that made them shine.
Was this article written by a 10 year old? Was it even proof read? The fact is any game company that does deals with Microsoft end up closing. There are very few exceptions.
That’s true, all Microsoft does is exploit and then effectively ruin companies, Insomniac is next on the chopping block guaranteed.
Another barely disguised Sony fanboy wanting a true PC master race company shot down because they did a game for Micro$haft.
How utterly pathetic.
Insomniac originally developed for PC?.
Or are you on about MS?, I thought all master race ppl despised and wanted MS to die so everyone would then be forced to use linux?
I’m on about Sony fanboys trying to use this article to get shots in at Crytek you idiot. We still despise M$. But not as much as we despise $ony lately.
eh I don’t really despise either but really all I saw Crytek as was a studio that happened to make over glorified graphical games at times demos.
exactly. attack charlie sheen he is a huge sony dck rider.
more like sony lossing yet another developer because they dont have the money to make AAA games while ms does.
Sorry sony is dying.
right its not like bungie is working on a game that has a 500 milion budget.
Nor that more and more people leave sony owned studios due to layoffs.
The first company that handled Homefront went bankrupt and now these guys, too? Is there an actual Homefront curse? Can’t this game get an actual developer and publisher that can stay in business?!!!
Crytek, here’s a deal for you. Remake the original Crysis for PC only using CE3, DX11, all the bells and whistles of the engine and we will buy in a boat loads. It will be cheap to make, ship it with an editor, full mod support, Steamworks.
PC community will love you again and give you much shininess .
People have been asking for a New-Gen Port of the Crysis Trilogy for months. I personally don’t care if it reaches the Consoles, but yes, at least bring me back my facemelter, at 200% power! YES! My GPU weeps now that Crysis doesn’t even stress it anymore 🙁
Absolutely. this would be an awesome idea. Stuff the Halo HD crap, we want DX11 Crysis in CE3!!!
Only if they ditch the crappy last 1/3 of the game with the awful alien ship stuff and linear snow levels.
I enjoyed going through the alien mountain but yeah it started going down hill a bit after and getting generic when the aliens starting coming out of the maintain.
Ryse is a piece of shit i would not piss on.
Ha ha ha, Microsoft whored them out and then threw them away like they always do. Typical Microsoft always ruining companies, yet I’m sure Sony will be blamed for this somehow.
Nope. But we point out the biggest whiners who want them dead are Sony fans like you who want that a company that shines on the PC Master Race, dead. Probably because those Crysis 3 webm’s look more impressive than Uncharted 4 CGI trailer.
You are just that upset and crying those salty Sony tears.
typical sony c3m licker
Good! I hate Crytek and the crappy CryEngine. They dont seem to be able to produce a MP game with more than 16 players. Either due to severe limitations of the engine, or the fact they always port over from the crapsoles. Enemy Front just got released, based on Cry3 engine, 12 players, 6vs6 and the game just blows!!!!! MP didnt last a week because the game was so poorly optimized and riddled with problems. Warface? Another joke of a game!!!!
Currently Crytek have screwed the pooch for PC’s MP on Homefront. Most of the servers do not appear in the games server browser. Servers can still be queried, appear in gametracker and favorites list, but not the actual browser. As a result, servers are virtually empty now. I have emailed, tweeted and posted on Crytek’s facebook. Crytek have done nothing to resolve the issue, and have never once responded to any of my requests. With 800 employees, you would think at least one could look into the issue and fix it, and MAYBE respond to an email!!!!
Crytek are one of the worst companies there are, when it comes to customer service. There simply isn’t any, They are just as bad, if not worse than EA and Activision, and that’s pretty bad. IMHO a company as piss poor as this deserve to reap all the bad karma they have brought on themselves. Just as THQ and Kaos refused to listen, Crytek can now suffer their same fate. I have no issues watching a crap company go down the toilet.
Honestly, it is watching true capitalism at its finest.
Why do you people that know nothing about CryEngine continue to spot BS that they know nothing about just stfu.
they deserve it. when you desert the audience that put you there in the first place and lose faith in that market because of strawman arguments such as piracy, you deserve to go bankrupt. Not only does crytek have potential, they could be game changers, but they decided to ruin a perfectly fine franchise (crysis) in order to appeal to the casual COD crowd in consoles.
Both Crysis 2 and 3 didnt sell well for Crytek, they barely made 1 million. Crysis 1 is one of this generations finest shooters which was later butchered and turned into a COD clone. Free to play is all they got left and even at that, they suck. Only good f2p model in the industry is the valve one.
can’t say how right you are nor wrong since Crysis is never my cupatea but TF2 FTW
hmm….would be interesting if we can have WoT + HAVOK + CRYENGINE…..the EU playerbase has been whining abt the BigWorld engine for WoT being “severely outdated”. As for the “end of Crytek”, I don’t think so. just imagine a few thou crytek fans doing a riot in from of WG Minsk/Paris. considering WG quite cares abt it’s fans (unlike most companies which dont give a dogshite on em), maybe…..yea, maybe it’ll work.
As for Warface, tried it, not bad actually. Shame THERE IS NO *BLEEP* SERVER IN ASIA. hullo! Europeans seem to only remember Asia when they’re gonna go there for a hliday and cheap stuff….
Wow Crytek really thought that QTE crap called Ryse is going to win them lots of money? i also cannot believe Microsoft funded that crap of a game. No wonder XB1 is going down and raped by Sony.
And how the heck a studio which beats GTA5 income in CIS regions, goes bankrupt? http://ftr.wot-news.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/wargaming.jpg
Im surprised EA is not buying them and put them to work on some anualized Battlefield game to copy CoD.
http://ftr.wot-news.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/wargaming.jpg
I read that CE has a pretty bad documentation. UE4 on the other hand is very user friendly and it’s cheaper.
They already said that they done with single-player games. If someone are interested, just google “crytek goes free to play” and you find the proof.
You need to look beyond the Engine’s optimization to find out what’s wrong with CryEngine, it’s not a question of “omg, this thing is super-heavy, I’m going with Unreal.”
For those of you who are unaware, some major issues with it:
– It’s buggy. Really, seriously, badly buggy. You can try the Public SDK, or the Steam SDK, they’re both the same thing, & you’ll note this yourself.
– It’s not flexible. It works fine for FPSs, but anything outside of that requires heavy modification, as Warhorse Studios has extensively documented with their attempt to turn CryEngine into an RPG Engine.
– It’s also extremely focused on Eye Candy (Cinematics, Destruction, etc.), which results in a similar situation as Frostbite, where the Engine’s Core isn’t really “up-to-snuff.”
CryEngine used to be a “better” deal than Unreal because it had newer features (ex: What You See is What You Get), but Unreal 4 made a huge bang with fancy particle & liquid effects, while Crytek just showcased much the same Tech as before, while touting a “new” Engine by dumping the “3” & streamlining the update process.
– Ryse failed because they made it into a Kinect Game. It was a dumb choice, but they definitely got paid a lot for it, so yeah.
– They’ve expanded to 8 Studios, of which half are “actively” working on Warface, while the other half just came off of Ryse &/or are working on the new Homefront, with one Studio focusing on their MOBA, & another on that Survival-Horror thing of theirs, with probably a small Team likely based out of Frankfurt working on the Engine.
It’s been noted before that they’re not very capable of staffing for each Project correctly, which results in delays, or they simply use a ridiculous amount of people spread across many Studios for no reason at all. Crysis 2 was developed by Crytek Franfurt (SP), & Crytek UK (MP) in conjunction, when Crytek Frankfurt would have sufficed, as proven by Crysis (1), & later Crysis 3.
Furthermore, they jumped onto the F2P Bandwagon back when the MMO Genre suddenly exploded with everyone announcing “YOU SHALL NOT PAY!” but in the YEARS since then, they’ve released only 1 F2P so far. I can’t say much about the Employees, but Management has serious issues at least.
You sir have no clue what you are talking about Mechwarrior Online and Star Citizen bot use CryEngine. Star Citizen uses a Modified CryEngine 3.4. I would just stop because you really seem to have no clue.
An F2P MMOFPS (basically a Cousin to Crytek’s own Warface, in terms of basic programming requirements), & an FPS game that’s not even in Closed Alpha? That’s your argument? Wow….
But hey, don’t stop your parade because of me, obviously you know oh so much more about Star Citizen’s Internal Development Process than any of us lowly mortals, right?
You do realize I stated it’s not very flexible for NON-FPS GAMES, right? I specifically mentioned the Warhorse blokes trying to use it for an RPG (called Kingdom Come: Deliverance), NOT an FPS, which required extensive work on the Engine, much like Star Citizen’s MODIFIED CryEngine?
“Not flexible” =/= impossible, it simply means additional work required.
Do you know anything about Star Citizen and how big that game is.
SC is vaporware at this point. It will become something but it’s at least 2 years to go. And ohhh, “Elite: Dangerous” – much bigger game and coming out sooner.
Elite Dangerous is not a much bigger game have you lost your mind. SC is already in Alpha first stage and I promise you there is at least a couple of hundred thousand more people playing and going to be playing. They also raised more money and adding more players daily. Therefore they have more money to spend on development. 2 years to go I Highly doubt that. Look at there price to get in lmao are you serious. They’re doing that because they didn’t raise enough money to do what they wanted and I guarantee you Graphically it wont be any where close and they don’t have the support that SC has, like with who is working with them like Oculus Rift, Track IR, Saitek, Nvidia and AMD. They also have 3 Crytek employees on staff.
* Chris Roberts week ago in interview said that *alpha* of SC persistent universe (which I see as start of actual SC) is end of 2015. Knowing delays and issues, It’s 2016 for retail release at least, if not later;
* SC as whole doesn’t exist yet…there’s dogfighting module pre-alpha called Arena Commander is released, and it’s 2.0 is slated at the end of the year (most likely next year). SC persistent universe alpha is meant to be released at the end of 2015 (as I said above). Yes, SC will have bits and pieces released during next 2 weeks, but together it will come only in 2016;
It happens because CIG have chosen more expensive and longer path to the game. Most of SC fans just wants “the best” and it’s mostly means lot of handcrafted content Still, they also have to create company and workflow and that will give biggest delay.
* About comparing scales of the games – ED is Milky Way galaxy up to 1:1 scale with 400 billion star systems and 100 000 human occupied systems at the start of persistent universe, it will have all elements of classic Elite experience – trading, combat, bounty hunting, assassinating, exploration – and more – with expansions free form flying around planet atmosphere (SC will only have on-rails landing), walking around whole planets (not just limited levels like in SC), etc.;
Also as we know SC universe is limited to few hundred systems. They claim it’s handcrafted, each is unique, with lore, and that’s why is better, but I would compare finished games, because people don’t understand difference between PG and handcrafted at all, especially as PG is just algorithms putting handcrafted elements together to put believable and unique experience;
* And most importantly ED is already at premium beta and will hit normal beta during August. It’s first retail release will be at fall of 2014. At time when SC comes out ED will have both expansions of walking around and landing on planets and freeform flying.
I am not a fan of particular games but I see a LOT of people getting massive hype with Star Citizen and after what I saw comparing it to Elite Dangerous…I rather choose Elite Dangerous, do doubt.
The immersion that ES is giving is just incredible. Also less talking and more doing advancing quite fast with all features functional. And with a really tight budget of 2+ million.
Sadly the closed beta is quite expensive as of now.
Normal beta for 80 USD coming in the middle of August 🙂 Premium beta currently is not very stable either, they are finishing touches on core stuff before going on normal beta.
Lmao A game that has been in the making since 2008 compared to a game that started a little over a year ago.
So again it is not a bigger game and will never be they will never have as many players either. Because they charge to much because they Lacked in funding. I’ve seen the game played nothing close to what SC is and will be offering.
like Foxiol i’m not a fan of SC or Elite, they both looks great but Elite looks more polished and finished than StarCitizen, and it’s more like game
That still doesn’t make it a bigger game and besides SC is only in Alpha yet not a fair comparison.
did i said it’s a bigger game ? elite is in alpha too. all i’m saying is that the Elite is more polished than SC for now, at least in alpha/beta but THEY ARE BOTH AMAZING games and both of them are MasterRace only games and i will buy both of them.
But you still cant say Elite is more polished when the only thing SC has given us is the Dogfighting module. You can say Elite is further along. But not more polished when you have no comparison to compare that to.
it’s more polished because it have less bugs in it’s alpha, end of story. SC right now is a mess,collision detection issues,frame drops,server issues,some unfinished animations etc… sure they will fix it but we are talking about right now Elite right now runs better,less bugs less issues etc…
Bugs lol 2 minor things that really had no effect on the game. Im not sure where you are getting your false information. The game runs fine for all of our guys no server issues. Definitely no frame drops. I would suggest doing more research. I have friends that play both. So again Compare what’s actually there to compare esp considering how long Elite Dangerous has been in the works.
if those bugs that hurt gameplay is nothing to you and they are minor then we don’t have anything else to talk about. you are just a fanboy that wants to defend a product you like no matter what and too blind to see anything else. as i said before they both looks great but too blind to see that too, to you and people like you i’m like a starcitizen hater that must be dealt with
Kid I play the game on a very high end PC I promise those issues you think you know about considering you dont play. Means nothing to me we have over 100 players playing this game none of them are seeing these issues you claim to know so much about. When you play them game then come back.
fanboism < logic
(that you don't have. as i said before, your too blind to see them because your a fanboy that only wants to defend a thing no matter what.funny thing is we never said anything bad about SC but you are all over the place,lol)
unless "great game" mean bad to your logic and you must defend it and attack anyone
Oh my god are you people honestly blaming consoles for the company’s situation? Jesus christ, I’ve seen fanboyism but you people take it to a new level.
Well, console sales have hardly been spectacular considering Crysis 1 and Farcry 1 sold well on PC. Crytek turned Crysis into a CoD clone after 1 in an already saturated market, even on consoles, they were never going to make a Halo, CoD for the seller for consoles, Crysis 2/3 are generic.
Crytek then made the excuse that Crysis 3 sold badly because of ” FPS fatigue”, Oh really Crytek ,you only worked that out after Crysis 3 sold badly?
That’s exactly my point. The reason for them flopping is because the fact that their games aren’t so good, it’s not consoles fault. It was Crytek’s own stupidity for codolizing the game.
It sounds more like PC fanboyism looking for yet another excuse to shit on consoles, a business they don’t like and other people in general in order to make themselves look always right and superior.
Otherwise they’d just can it and not have to throw the usual insults.
There are plenty of reasons to sh*t on consoles as you say, not just about graphical but holding back gameplay as well.
Is that what happened to Rome II which was a PC only game?, that didn’t have consoles holding it back and look how that turned out, look at all those indie games that cut and run, consoles weren’t holding them back, again there should be nothing stopping a dev from making a separate game, even then you’d probably just shit on consoles even if you got what you wanted because yes that’s exactly how I’m seeing things at the moment, unless of course they stop doing that then maybe I’ll see differently but until then I’m not.
Rome 2 is an exception.
Not really, there’s been other PC games that fucked up and weren’t the fault of consoles, again nothing is stopping the devs from making a separate copy of the game, there’s been times where that’s been done before in the past, it just seems much easier in this day and age to blame another piece of plastic instead of the guys behind the piece of plastic, blaming the piece of plastic also fingers blame on people that like said piece of plastic, there’s no other way around that since if people stopped buying that plastic then it wouldn’t be “holding PC back”, so yes PC people do have a thing of a vendetta against plastic and people with other likes.
It’s consoles fault that their games aren’t good anymore though.
codolized = consolized
we blame the choices they made towards cosnoles, take a look at dishonored, they didnt dumb down the game, now take a look at deus ex 2, even the levels are shorter with constant loadings to fit on consoles ram.
Oh thats just great.
Everyone prepare for crappy pay2win World of Crysis games.
Consolisation of a franchise before going completely to consoles.
This is why console exclusives are a terrible idea. You put all your very expensive eggs in one tiny tiny basket, and then hope to god they actually sell. STOP MAKING CONSOLE EXCLUSIVE GAMES…Christ, is it that hard to figure out?
Halo seems to be doing well, console exclusives need to be made in order to make said consoles look appealing.
If consoles are to stop making exclusives then the PC side will have to stop, I swear hypocrisy will be a plenty if not.
clap clap
Realtalk: Crytek screwed the pooch on Early adaptation of CryEngine 1 and 2 by refusing to provide good documentation and being standoffish even on licences. Had they had the level of support Epic put into Unreal Engine, they would have easily been a top engine on the market (And companies WANTED to use CryEngine). Opening up with CryEngine 3 and providing better now is more expensive and they have companies wary because of past actons. But it will take off in the long run. Evolve runs on CryEngine 3 and is being tipped as a possible GOTY.
Does that mean the death of them? lol no. Company has to maybe trim the fat and probably could stand to make an alliance with some other Eastern European devs like CD Projekt. Also should start trying to get back on Steam rather than Origin.
Back to the ranch Sony Ponies so the PC Master Race can use you for Glue.

crytek is the only company that push pc graphics to the limit and they only have 2 weakness story and Gameplay (ryse) I hope they bounce back
Crysis 3 was a piece of crap. It really let me down. Too easy, empty, short.
Damn, i enjoyed the Crysis 1 $ 2 games.
crysis 1 still one of the best game for me but 2 was meh 3 was decent
Crysis 2 was a good game, not as long as 1, but i liked the fluent gameplay of the suit. It was like a different game from the first.
But the 3rd, man, pure garbage, a good looking one, but still garbage.
C3 wasn’t a good game, it only was a technical showcase yet still nobody beat it in that field.
Ryse was a really fun game and great story, still holds the mantle as best looking game in my opinion. Hope Crytek survive this and no jobs are lost.
Ryse sold better than expected. The dlc for ryse sells pretty good too or they would stop making it. Crytek also doesn’t bet their business on engine licenses. They are considered bonus profits. Most crytek games are funded by other publishers. The company is expanding. Have been for quite some time. This article is FUD.
I blame making ryse a one console exclusive this reduced the possible buyers by like how much?
Big PC sales are now in MMOs, MOBA, F2P,digital sales. PC moved on from boxed copies a long time ago.
“The Cataclysm expansion for online game World of Warcraft (WoW) sold more than 3.3 million copies the first day”
“Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. today announced that as of the first 24 hours of Diablo® III’s release, more than 3.5 million copies had been sold, setting the new all-time record for fastest-selling PC game”
“Total War: Rome II has sold over 800,000 copies since launch”
“StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm sales top 1 million in 2 days”
“StarCraft 2 sales blitz a success: sales crush console games”
NPD numbers are releasing for public too and it don’t cover digital sales and it only covers NorthAmerica.VGChartz generate numbers for their own and it’s a complete unreliable source,not only that, it won’t cover Digital Sales. btw: Crysis 3 sold 3million on pc according to yerli, how ryse with top 1m copy, sold more copies than crysis 3 ?
You can contest all you want, but NPD and VGChartz are tangible things, please post your source.
:)) ok then believe what you want kid. there is no digital sale record period. so not NPD and not VGchartz can tell it’s numbers. tangible or not vgc is an unreliable source and NPD is US only, you know, there are europe and asia etc… ? don’t you ? i bet you don’t
But these numbers also ignore Ryse’s digital sales. Maybe you’re right, I am just a misguided fanboy.. who really knows what goes on inside these companies anyway?
maybe, but PC sales are mainly digital (example: i don’t have any dvd or bluray roms and it’s almost 7 years.because of steam or gog or other digital stores) but on consoles most people buy retail version of their games. you will not see any EA pc games from now on in retail stores, but they continue to make hard copies with their console games until end of this generation at least.
Ryse is a good looking game, but the game play itself is crap as far as I’m concerned. This reminds me of when Doom 3 came out. The game was “OK”, but the game was more of a technical demo to show what could be done with the engine. To bad about Crytek I liked Crysis 1 & 2.
Support them then: http://cryengine.com/get-cryengine
>> And yes, PC gamers can now say to Crytek “We told you so, you had to keep Crysis exclusive to the PC and keep pushing the graphical boundaries.”
Graphics were never the problem. Crytek’s console games look good. They are just boring and full of glitches, that’s why they never really caught on. Crytek messed up on the gameplay side of things, the graphics were always atleast decent. Even Crysis 2 is not a “bad” looking game. Its art style is awful and most of its technology was downgraded in comparison to the first game (and its expansion) but this was not the reason PC gamers were disappointed with it. Level design, suit controls, everything that made the original game fun was either outright removed or atleast harmed in some way.
The real bummer is that after C3 and the contract with EA ending, and with so many studios now adopting CE I really didn’t see this coming. I thought they were swimming in cash right now BECAUSE of all the vanity projects they were undertaking. I thought only someone with pockets bursting at the seams would attempt something as idiotic as creating yet another useless “social platform” no customer asked for, around the same time when EA’s Origin and Ubisoft’s Uplay failed miserably. They have only themselves to blame in all of this. The bad experiences with Ubisoft (losing Far Cry) and EA (turning Crysis into a COD clone) should have taught them to steer clear of console block buster development and to have their guard up in negotiations with publishers. But instead they sign with MICROSOFT to make a console LAUNCH TITLE of all things, and they pursue this G face nonsense. Again, this whole time I took these absurd endeavors as symptoms of too much money, not too little.
It’s remarkable that they stayed afloat for so long considering they haven’t made a successful game since Crysis and their engine licensing business only took off around Crysis 3. How did they keep buying other failing studios if they themselves were failing? How did they earn money from 2008-2012? Is EA a better business partner than we all thought? lol
Keep in Mind GT5 isn’t on PC yet not fair Comparison yet.
It’s important to note the release history here. Only retail sales are counted. Noteworthy because consoles really only have the retail market to rely on, whereas PC has a thriving digital market.
I’m extremely curious how well the digital platforms are doing, but nobody aside from the platform owners (Valve, EA, Ubisoft) have access to that kind of information and they’re not releasing it. Until they do, sales comparisons need to be taken with a grain of salt.
If you just want to know how big the Digital Distribution Industry has gotten, all you need to do is look up Steam’s records: 100% growth every year over, for the better part of a Decade straight so far. Sure, didn’t mean much a few years back, but now? That’s big. No, scratch that, THAT’S HUGE.
That aside however, yes, there’s no actual specifics 🙁
Going multiplatform has everything to do with money. Why would you believe otherwise? And “lots of money” is subjective. What you consider “lots of money” may not be enough for AAA game development on a single platform.
LOL!!!
No.
Nice counterargument there, derp.
as always.
Dat crying Crytek.
What about Crytek USA? They used to be Vigil. Does this affect them at all?
Anything which support red thier income turn red
Cry me a river. That’s what you get after what you’ve done to Crysis
Eh, what are we really losing if they go under? Crysis has gone downhill since the first game (I’ve played them all and “meh”), Ryse was mediocre at best, what is there? A nice engine? The talent will find jobs elsewhere and continue to make games.
My biggest fear would be for the Time Splitters franchise as most of that old team was absorbed into Crytek. EA still owns the publishing rights so one day, maybe, I hope.
Sonic Boom on WiiU built on CRYTEK engine is looking good. I didn’t play Crisis after the 2nd game. I don’t know what other games they have.
Oh and I would give Ryse a try eventually if/when I get an XBO.
Ryse is a great game. The gaming community hive mind just did an inception on everyone that still listens to them.
The way to break the spell… is the first time you play Ryse play it on the hardest difficulty you can. It will be hard and in that hardness you will understand the combat system is not easy at or weak at all. Then play it on a regular setting more comfortable for you and you will see just how cool and effective the combat is.
I’ll give Ryse a try just because it is set in Rome and deals with that type of melee combat. I wonder if it would have been better as a Kinect game as it was originally being designed.
When they decided to ditch Kinect and remap the gameplay to dual-analog controller, much of the controls remained simpler for for dual-analog games offer or what gamers expect.
To me it just signaled that Kinect 2.0 isn’t any better for games than Kinect 1.0 was (aside from dance/fitness/sports). Like I said I will try Ryse eventually if/when I pick up XBO. I always decide for myself about games. I could care less what Internet thinks. If I end up not liking it, its just going to be $20 or so, and probably still holding some resale value.
There a lot of that inception they did to you and it distracts from the game itself. If you followed the development of the game you would know that they did 3 different builds of the game. There is a kinect only version and Kinect and controller version and a controller only version. They went with the controller only version because there are a lot of weirdoes in the gaming community that just have a hard on for attacking and slandering kinect whether it works or not and for a launch game on a new system you want something very approachable. Actually its kind of weird that we are even talking about kinect as it has very little to do with this iteration of Ryse… probably just part of the inception.
Not too mention kinect games need to be built differently. Ryse in its current form would be a very hard kinect game just by the length of the game and its intensity. Kinect is good for gaming but not in a universal everything should be totally kinect way. For instance when people say kinect isnt good for games and then you see Kinect sports rivals with bowling. The bowling actually works really good and is fun. What kind of weirdo doesnt like bowling. It just a nice little relaxing game. I have played lots of kinect games and have had some great experiences. I actually feel sorry that so many people were steered away from it.
Ever since playing Sports Champions (PS-Move) Gladiator Sport, I have been wanting a melee combat full game using motion controls that feel just as good. So far only Skyward Sword on Wii has managed to be such a game.
Anyway, this is why I had started following Ryse development. I lost interest in both Ryse the game and XBO with Kinect after Ryse developers decided to ditch Kinect and go with controller.
At some point, I do intend to pick up XBO, and at that time I fully intend to get Ryse.
no, save your money and then buy a new PC instead of X1 and Ryse. ryse is a movie with some QTEs in it and it’s horrible,90% of it’s cut scenes are pre rendered. just watch it on youtube and you won’t miss a thing, there is no gameplay in it
If you are okay sitting and watching a game play out on YouTube, then you should also be okay watching it play on your TV screen even if it has some minimal amount of gameplay.
I have a $3000 PC (most of cost from RAID 0 SSD) that was top of line 2 years ago, but I only play Civilization and Age of Empires type games on it. I have tried other games like Battlefield and I find I don’t enjoy these types of games on PC and much prefer to play those on console.
3000$ pc for civ & aoe ? however you said ssds but it’s too much unless you have many ssds.
“If you are okay sitting and watching a game play out on YouTube, then you should also be okay watching it play on your TV”
not true,for me it’s like you enjoy watching a mediocre movie there is no reason to watch it again
My PC 256GB worth of RAID 0 SSD (meaning two 128GB), 8GB of System Ram, 1GB ATI Video Card, and Quad-Core 2.8 Giga Hertz processor, and addition 512GB additional SSD drive. Think prices little over 2 years ago.
It should be clear I didn’t buy/use it for games, but I have tried games on it, and it is perfectly capable of playing games. The only game types that I have enjoyed on PC are things that control well with keyboard/mouse. I have tried X360 controller for some PC games that don’t play well with keyboard/mouse but I don’t like how they play on PC compared to how they play on consoles. On PC the controller games just take digital input because you are forced to use Xpadder type stuff to re-map keyboard digital keys to analog sticks, while on console, they take analog input.
I don’t want to write a book about it. Long story short, my preference to play on console has to do with games made for console/pc tend to play better for my taste on console. The few game types that do play better on PC (strategy games like Civ and AOE), I already have PC for.
I will play Ryse on XBO if I feel like it. I am just not willing to buy XBO just for Ryse, but I am interested in trying Ryse out. I try a great many games out. Doesn’t mean I complete them, but I will decide for myself if it is worth playing through or not based on my interest, not on Internet opinions.
“On PC the controller games just take digital input because you are
forced to use Xpadder type stuff to re-map keyboard digital keys to
analog sticks, while on console, they take analog input.”
depends on the game, but for these past few years you can play almost all games with your X360 controller without xpadder,you can play most games with your controller without needs of any third party program to do so and manual key mapping wont required.
” you are forced to use Xpadder type stuff to re-map keyboard digital
keys to analog sticks, while on console, they take analog input.”
nope. just plug your x360 controller to your pc and your good to go. no need for mapping not analog sticks issue. just try a game yourself, your informations are 10years old.
“games made for console/pc tend to play better for my taste on console”
also not true. on PC you have more options to mess with besides you have more frame rate, more frame rate = plays better
“The few game types that do play better on PC”
not true. all games plays better on PC.frame rate check,wide range of controller support check. Fist Persion Shooters plays better with KB&M but still you can do it with controller.
You sound like a Console fan and besides your machine can barley play any big title that came in the last year and a half. you have below minimal requirements for most games. You would barley be able to play BF3 on low
I am a console fan. I don’t look at my PC as a gaming machine or PC as my gaming platform of choice.
BF3 looks/plays better on 7+ years old $400-600 X360 / PS3 than 2+ years old $3000 PC. I also don’t have to configure Xpadder to get controller to work, and I never have to bother with options screen for anything other than my subtitle or inversion setting preference.
Granted my PC was never purchased for the purpose of playing games. It does what it needs to very well, and my gaming consoles do what they do very well.
If I wanted to make a super-uber PC gaming machine, it would cost lot more than the $400 the PS4 costs… and thats the best gaming machine I have used to date.
All I can say is lmao you are wrong in every aspect. But thats what Console fanboys do and say. You’ll never get the performance out of a console that a PC can provide. I have played BF3 on Console. Its not that great Graphically.compared to even my old Gaming laptop. You don’t seem to understand how dumbed down games are for console.
Games are never as well optimized for PC as they are for consoles. The same exact parts used in any PC compatible console, put in a PC, the same game will not perform as well on PC as it does on the console.
The PC elitist gamer arguments are generally about well if you put 10x more power, then the game will have bunch more pixels you can’t see, and therefore “best”. When calling someone a console fanboy, they don’t factor in
a) Preference of form factor / controller / ease of use
b) No concern of virus, etc on consoles
c) All players on same platform having same experience
d) Quality for the cost
e) That extra graphical blah blah not worth the PC cons
You know when PC starts to really start standing out graphically is when a console generation is nearing its end, and then new consoles come out.
How long did your last gaming PC last before you had to upgrade it or parts exceeding $200-400 in cost?
My longest use console (PS3) has lasted since 2007, and I will be using it more in the years to come even as I have migrated to PS4 because I am not done yet with all the games I could play/enjoy on my PS3. I also have X360, WiiU, Ouya, Vita, and 3DS, and as I have mentioned, for some type of games I do still use PC or even Mac for gaming. Heck I even dabble in the iOS / Android smart device games. But at present what I like to play on most is the PS4.
Anyway, I am not trying to convert you or anybody else. I am just explaining my perspective and why I prefer consoles over PC for the kind of games that work and do very well on consoles.
You sir are an Console fanboy and a complete idiot. I will no longer continue this conversation. I’ve been gaming Since before the first Doom From Magnavox Odyssey until now. You cant upgrade a Console to stay with times, you’re using 4+ year old technology. Not to mention all the things you cant do with a console. My PC will last me for years with maybe a minor upgrades every 2 years or so depending on demand. There so many things a console will never do to Software developers refuses to make the software compatible. As for your comment “You know when PC starts to really start standing out graphically is when a console generation is nearing its end, and then new consoles come out.” is the dumbest comment in the history of gaming. Games are developed on PC’s. I have a Xbox 360 Elite. I play sports and racing games and nothing else and I use my PC for racing now because I can still use my Xbox controller without any special modification and it looks 10 times better. I have 30 years in gaming and 20 years in Electronics including 15+ years building PC’s.
Let me enjoy whatever I enjoy in peace, and learn to express your preference or describe your experience or point out the pros of PC gaming without calling out insults.
Sometime when the shoe fits where it. Dont make Statements that are completely just plain dumb and you want be called out or insulted.
“How long did your last gaming PC last before you had to upgrade it or parts exceeding $200-400 in cost?”
6 years, the next gen consoles won last as long and for the record that pc could still play games with a 168$ gpu upgrade due to dx11.
I am not trying to convert you either but you are CLUELESS about pc gaming so please dont talk.
I will agree that I am clueless about PC gaming as I only try to use PC machine I already have, rather than try to get PC parts that would be more optimal for gaming.
I plan to look into building a more serious gaming PC when Star Citizen is coming out. Will just go by whatever people recommend at that time.
In the meantime, I am very happy and thoroughly enjoying the quality and range of games I get across my multitude of consoles.
Happy gaming to you
yup, bf3 on consoles= low pc settings, confirmed by dice.
“BF3 looks/plays better on 7+ years old $400-600 X360 / PS3 than 2+ years old $3000 PC.”
You are the typical clueless consoletard who thinks pc gaming is super expensive or super hard and dying.
So lets get it over with
Pc has more exlusives than all consoles combined.
pc is making more money than consoles and has surpassed any previous status.
the ps3/x360 version of bf3 run on low settings confirmed by dice.
the 750 ti is a 149$ gpu and it runs bf4 better than ps4.
a budget 500 pc destroys consoles.
End of story, anything else is clueless and you are not asking someone who is invloved wih pcs.
Finally pc games are cheaper and mp is free, thus you save money from there.
Your money was in SSD’s and served no performance Value if you paid that much 2 years ago for all that you did not have a top of the line Machine. Your still making console fanboy statements. 2 years ago I had i5 2500k OC’d 4.4 Liquid Cooled, 8 gig 1600 Mhz Memory, 250g HD, 1 TB WD Black Drive, 2 1 gig Super Clocked 560 TI’s in SLI and well under 2,000 in that and would run Circles around what you say you paid 3,000 for. . Now I have Asus P8Z68 V Gen 3 Board, i5 2500k @ 4.4 OC’D, Kingston HyperX 16G DDR3 OC’D 1648 Corsair H80 CPU liquid cooler, Nvidia SLI SC GTX 770 2G ACX, Crucial M500 2 240 SSD 2 WD Caviar Blk 1TB, Seasonic 80 plus platinum 860 watt PSU, CoolerMaster Haf 932 case and I still have less than you do in your build from 2 years ago.Stop making Console Fanboy statements
Keeping it PC excusive and pushing graphics would have made the game cost MORE to make and have had a smaller market to try and sell too.. wtf? If they had done as yout told them so instead of an article about them “almost going bankrupt” you’d have one about how they “have gone bankrupt”
nope, making the console versions costed more infact.
I thought Crysis and Warhead were great. Both Multiplayer was fun as hell to me. Remember all the nuke bombs, vehicles, small and large maps. We had some major battle sessions. I didnt enjoy it as much when they went the COD route. They had to go multiplatform though, for profit reasons. The problem with that is, you still have to make good games for people to buy it.
I think I liked Warhead the best. Crysis was good but the ship/underwater sequence, and the last linear part, kinda sucked. They basically took what made the game great – open areas, and the ability to approach situations differently – and took it away.
I agree. After Warhead it was ok to me and it seemed very slow. Warhead was fast in multiplayer. Good memories with that game.
vgchartz . ROFLMAO .
Got a different source that lists the aggregate lifetime retail sales of
Video games or are you just going to try to discredit my proof because you don’t feel like accepting facts?
LMAO so much for your EA source…
Your credibility is gone. Good bye console peasant. Think twice before trolling a pc gaming site to assert your dominance of a potato race.
What are you talking about? EA announced in June 2012 that Battlefield 3 sold 15 million copies. A quick google search will make you not look like such a whiny 12 year old. I’m not trolling, I’m posting facts. This isn’t a PC site, it’s a video game site. And gamers aren’t a race, gaming is just a hobby. So go ahead and leave just as pathetically as you commented, and try to sleep knowing that consoles will always sell more AAA games than the niche PC platform.
Typical console clown what you expect?
http://media3.giphy.com/media/GyaWRYscuC8jm/200.gif
I quoted Cevat Yerli . Those aren’t my thoughts buddy .
“And yes, PC gamers can now say to Crytek “We told you so, you had to keep Crysis exclusive to the PC and keep pushing the graphical boundaries.””
If they had stayed PC exclusive Crytek would have gone out of business years ago.
“Cevat Yerli stated during an interview with PC Play in April 2008 that
he was disappointed to see the Crysis game leading the charts in piracy and because of that his studio would not produce any more PC exclusives, as he believed a game such as Crysis would sell four to five times more copies if it was released on consoles”
So there we have it, the PC gamers that pirated games from Crytek are to be blamed for the NEEDED console releases AND why Crytek don’t like giving out PC exclusives anymore? (( Crysis was indeed one of the most pirated PC games of the year )) so for the PC gamers questioning Crytek’s motives that has been answered for many years = ( due to PC piracy they had to act ) hence why no PC love and consoles getting games too.
But that’s dumb. More popularity = more piracy, is just how it is and isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The most pirated TV show is Game of Thrones but it’s a cash cow for HBO regardless.
Piracy is only a problem in the greedy minds of stupid people that don’t understand how popularity functions. Piracy is nothing more than free publicity.
Nothing forced them to act other than their own stupidity and inability to correctly assess the situation.
But that’s the reason they became 3rd party devs, ( not consoles fault ) but PC gamers themselves that pirated games from Crytek
no they became third party because they wanted money, like EVERYONE end fo story, no one will make exlusives unless someone pays them to do it, like say sony or ms. Devs want to get as many sales as possible due to high development costs.
Crysis was leading the charts in piracy and because of that his studio would not produce any more PC exclusives ( fact from Cevat Yerli )
He also believed a game such as Crysis would sell four to five times more copies if it was released on consoles ( fact from Cevat Yerli )
So yes due to PC gamers stealing their game and not getting the money back they wanted for the game upon release on PC Crytek choose to release onto consoles to make money ( which worked ) and stopped making PC exclusives altogether. IF PC gamers bought the game instead of stealing it they could have still been a PC only game maker.
“fact from Cevat Yerli”
consoles cannot run crysis because they dont have enough ram.
Fact from yerli, that guy is full of lies as many have said before.
The game sold like 4 million on pc and as proven by crysis 2 and 3, it didnt sell 5 more times but infact barelly sold twice as much.
“Crytek choose to release onto consoles to make money ( which worked”
Once again you are damaged in the head and a complete idiot, IT DIDNT WORK look at their finacials godamn it, look at the scores. the sales are not that impressive either crysis 1 on pc has sold more than crysis 2 or 3 on all systems.
Crytek didnt CHOOSE to release it on console, every developer releases the game to as many systems as possible and dumbs down the games to get more sales.
This isnt a CHOICE, its how it has to be done in order to survive.
No one CHOOSES to dumb down horror games and turn them into shooters, they do it to get more money which FAILED, infact tomb raider was dumbed down to sell more copies and it barelly managed to make profit.
” IF PC gamers bought the game instead of stealing it they could have still been a PC only game maker.”
And you have to be a complete idiot.
The cost for developing games is too high, even 2d indie games are ported to ps4 for more money, infact since you are a sony c3m licker, i might as well include that here, yoshida himself said that the reason ps4 doesnt have as much AAA exlusives is becuase AAA games have become very expensive so ps4 will have less AAA games but more and more indie games.
INDIESTATION 4 CONFIRMED.
There right from the horse’s mouth, games are too expensive, sony also dropped support for AAA games on psvita and as you saw resident evil revelations and assasin creed liberation were also released to pc and x360/ps3 in order to make more money.
Thats it. Exlusivity cannot bring enough money to cover the large development costs anymore.
Thats why dead rising 3 is going to be released on pc.
Ofcourse sony hates pc and they have stated multiple times in the pat how they are better than pc, so they are not gonna release their games on pc, but they gonna cut back on AAA games. The only one who will come out of this without problems is nitendo since their games are not exactly “next gen” and dont have anywhere near as high development budgets as actual AAA game.
Now that i proved your delusional BS wrong, go crawl back under your hole.
900 million PC users ( Steam 75 million users ) FACT going through steam was not the solution like people pointed out as not every PC gamer likes Steam or even uses steam.
“Cevat Yerli = disappointed to see the Crysis game leading the charts in piracy and because of that the studio would not produce any more PC exclusives,*( nothing to do with consoles on why Crytek stopped PC exclusives as it was PC piracy that made them choose multi-platform ) http://www.videogamesblogger.com/2008/05/09/crytek-and-epic-lost-millions-because-of-piracy-and-are-now-switching-game-development-away-from-pc.htm
And yes the company made more money by going multi-platform as they didn’t just have PC sales to count did they lol.
So you can say all you like about this subject but fact is the reason why Crytek went multi-platform to start with was due to PC gamers and their piracy and Crytek wanting more money by going multi-play? So rage on all ya like, but facts are facts and are not going to change just for you. Crytek and Epic lost billions of dollars in game sales for Crysis and UT3 alone on PC.
Am sorry are you a fcking idiot?
All developers go multiplatform in order to make more sales, crytek said themselfs they will go multiplatform in the future before they even release crysis, you have to be litteraly a r3tard to believe it was because of piracy, infact i am calling you a r3tard right now since i explain you 100 times over that because games are too expensive they need to make as many sales as possible so there is NO REASON to NOT go multiplatform you fcking idiot. Even crytek themselfs said it “the decisision to go multiplatform allowed us to make larger games something that pc only market does not allow but multiplatform does not”
Take a look at why they are doing bad right now, becuase their “multiplatform” model ISNT WORKING and crytek thought they were too big, they thought they would make multiplatform games and everyone will buy them, they thought they will sell their engine like unreal engine but that didnt happen either becuase crytek is too full of themselfs and their own self proclaimed superiority that apparently seem to think they deserve more than they get.
Cevat has a reputation for talking nonsense, he said consoles cant run crysis becuase they dont have enough ram and NO they didnt make more money on consoles, Crysis 2 and 3 were made on crysis 1 budget, so now they are back on square 1 and crysis 2 and 3 did not surpass crysis 1 sales.
So long story short cevat was full of himself in all his statements and you are WRONG.
Those are the facts DPSHIT and not the ?????? bs that you post.
Whats that? epic lost billions of dollars on pc with UT3?
Ok now you are a certified r3tard.
Do you happen to know that tiny little fact that says that UT3 SOLD MORE ON PC THAN BOTH THE CONSOLE VERSIONS COMBINED. Also why would you pirate a mp game?
But ofcourse a delussional arsewipe like you reads those articles without using critical thinking and seperating truth from bs.
Dont reply you are a fcking r3tard and a complete joker.
Crysis was leading the charts in piracy and because of that his studio would not produce any more PC exclusives ( fact from Cevat Yerli ) as NO PC game exclusives from Crytek have taken place to date from Crysis. So say all you like but that stands as correct.
Crytek choose to release onto consoles to make money ( which worked ) and stopped making PC exclusives altogether ( which they have )…All correct as multi-plats earn more money than a single platform release, BUT it was the PC piracy from PC gamers that turned the tide ( nothing to do with consoles due to being a PC only game to start off with ) LMAO! To blame consoles for the position Crytek are in now is retarded.
my god its like talking to a wall.
psst idiot they anounce they would go multiplatform before and NO developer does pc exlusives if they can make a console version, unless the game is rts, they will make a console version to get more money, crytek themselfs said that they would go multiplaform in order to do bigger games, had the game not been pirated the would STILL go multiplatform to make more money stop talking like a braindamaged 12 year old.
“which worked”
Are you trying to piss me off kid?
This article PROVES that it failed.
Crysis 2 and 3 were made on crysis 1 budgets which came from? PC GAMING and no one buys cryengine 3, crysis 2 hasnt reached crysis 1 sales on pc and crysis 3 adn ryse were flops.
Are you mentally ill or you just trying to piss me off?
“! To blame consoles for the position Crytek are in now is retarded.”
To think they stopped making pc exlusives due to “piracy” and not becuase of the simpl godamn reason that graphically impressive games cost alot of money to make, is RETARDED.
So lets recap.
Crytek gone multiplat for the same reason everyone does.
TO MAKE MORE MONEY.
Crytek sales and profit were at their best when they were only on pc.
Crysis 2 and 3 didnt do well ifnact crysis 3 and ryse failed.
Cevat is full of himself and he overestimated his company thinking by going multiplatform they would get super uber sales and everyone would buy their engine whcih DIDNT HAPPEN and now that they are dying we pc gamers can say WE TOLD YOU SO and they shouldnt have gone to consoles because they DIDNT get more money and no one buys their games on consoles.
End of story also i like how you dodged the fact taht UT3 pc sold more on pc than both the console versions yet they blamed piracy for it again.
Pc gamers hate epic and crytek for making liying statements like that instead of admiting they were at fault, same reason we hate ubisoft for being full of themselfs.
they anounce they would go multiplatform before // Crytek themselfs said that they would go multiplaform in order to do bigger games // Where is that stated that Crytek would go M-Plat before Crysis? Link? OR are you full of sh!t?
i told you i cant find the link, but apparently you cant pay attention.
I can just remind you that cryengine 3 is a multiplatform engine, why you think they made it multiplatform?
idiot!
Straight from wikipedia:
“According to The simExchange, the NPD Group reported that Crysis moved 86,633 retail units in the first two weeks of its release in North America, but while it beat their expectations, the sales were considered disappointing overall.”
“Two months later, on Electronic Arts’ earnings conference of the quarter, it was reported that Crysis had reached the 1 million units mark, and that it had exceeded their expectations.”
So first it exceeded expectasions for the first two weeks but it was dissapointing overall butthe second month it hit 1 million sales which exceeded their expectasions
Are they clueless to how sales work or they just suck at making estimates?
“On the other hand, Cevat Yerli stated during an interview with PC Play in April 2008 that he was disappointed to see the game leading the charts in piracy and because of that his studio would not produce any more PC exclusives, as he believed a game such as Crysis would sell four to five times more copies if it was released on consoles.”
Yet it didnt sell 5 times more but infact crysis 1 on pc sold more than the consoles. FAIL!!!
“Piracy figures released by TorrentFreak indicate that Crysis was indeed one of the most pirated PC games of the year.”
Which is not “millions” so how would the game sell 5 times more on consoles? If it was not pirated as many time? Seems to me it is what i said, they gone to consoles becuase they were gonna make more money and not piracy.
“In June 2008 Cevat stated that while their hopes have not been met, the game has reached their real expectations and in August he added that despite its million budget the game has turned profitable for them”
So it didnt get the crazy expectasions of 5 millions that they wanted but it got the REAL expectasions, is this enough to prove that cevat is FULL OF HIMSELF or you wanna keep going?
“By May 2010 the game has sold over 3 million units (and its standalone expansion about 1.5 million units)[63] making it one of the best selling PC games of all time”
More than the witcher and its one of the best selling pc games opf all time so wtf did cevat want?
10+ million sales by the look of it, becuase he is enititled to it just like he is entiled of selling 5 times more on consoles and he is entitled to sell cryengine and make it famous like unreal engine.
Are we done now? Do you know understand that crytek and cevat are full of themselfs and they got unreallistic expectasions and delussions of greatness when in reallity no one bought their games on cosnoles and their engine didnt became the new unreal engine as they thought and in the end of the day pc gamers were right they should have sticked to pc because from what they got RIGHT NOW, being only pc would have put them in a better finacial state from what they are RIGHT NOW, which happened because crytek are full of themsles and overestimated their capabilities, the fact they got 800 empoyes while dice has 500 proves that crytek just hired people ignorant the real picture. Ill say it again crysis 2 and 3 were made on crysis 1 sales budget.
Yep full of sh!t as Crytek didn’t state such a thing. IF you find that link and I am incorrect I will say so.
Questions / yes / no
1 = NO PC game exclusives from Crytek have taken place to date from Crysis. Correct?
2 = Was Cevat Yerli correct when he stated “that his studio would not produce any more PC exclusives”
3 = Have Crytek stopped making PC exclusives altogether?
4 = Do multi-plats games earn more money than on a single platform release?
5 = PC piracy from PC gamers from the PC only games ( have nothing to do with consoles due to being a PC only game to start off with ) is this correct?
6 = Crytek sales and profit were at their best when they were only on pc? Can you show these sales and profits from both PC and consoles please?
7 = was Cevat Yerli correct when he stated Crysis was leading the charts in piracy?
8 = How can people blame consoles for the position Crytek are in now?
9 = Cevat Yerli stated that because of piracy that his studio would not produce any more PC exclusives. IF that’s not correct can you please show factual evidence to prove that?
10 = All developers go multiplatform in order to make more sales ( your words ) are you correct in stating this?
My god you are guillable
1.Or any other developer from that matter because its not profitable enough to focus on a single plaform thats why console exlusives are paid by ms and sony and not by devs themselfs.
2.Cevat wasnt correct about crysis 1 not being possible on consoles let alone how many sales he would get about crysis if it was on consoles. He is clueless
3.Like everyone else, no reason to make a game exlusive to pc since no one is paying you to keep it exlusive like consoles, graphics cost.
4.Yes but not for crytek CASE AND POINT. Had crytek sticked with pc they would be better right now.
5.I dont get what you mean but implying the reason they stopped making pc exlusives was piracy, while believing they would sell 5 times more had they being multiplatform, kinda proves that since its impossible for crysis to have been pirated enough times to take 4/5 of the sales, the reason they gone multiplatform was to make more money from a DIFFIRENT market (the consoles) and they used piracy as a scapegoat than admitting the truth.
6. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=499493
Long story short crysis 2 broke even according to him, then again there are so many contradictions, like how crysis 1 couldnt be done on consoles or how they had diffirent expectasions from crysis and diffirent REALLISTIC expectasions and so on, i explain that later.
7. Among other games but they didnt blame piracy for their delussions of greatness On the other hand epic blamed piracy for low UT3 sales despite it sold more than both console versions combined.
8. Spending more money, dumbing down their games and making them linear due to console limitations, trying to sell their engine and failing misserably, hiring more people and opening new studios to expand while their finacials were doing bad, proving they dont see what is really going on.
9. Everything cevat says its filled with contradictions
Straight from wikipedia:
“According to The simExchange, the NPD
Group reported that Crysis moved 86,633 retail units in the first two
weeks of its release in North America, but while it beat their
expectations, the sales were considered disappointing overall.”
“Two months later, on Electronic Arts’ earnings conference of the

mark, and that it had exceeded their expectations.”
So first it
exceeded expectasions for the first two weeks but it was dissapointing
overall butthe second month it hit 1 million sales which exceeded their
expectasions
Are they clueless to how sales work or they just suck at making estimates?
“On
the other hand, Cevat Yerli stated during an interview with PC Play in

despite its million budget the game has turned profitable for them”
So
it didnt get the crazy expectasions of 5 millions that they wanted but
it got the REAL expectasions, is this enough to prove that cevat is FULL
OF HIMSELF or you wanna keep going?
“By May 2010 the game has
sold over 3 million units (and its standalone expansion about 1.5
million units)[63] making it one of the best selling PC games of all
time”
More than the witcher and its one of the best selling pc games opf all time so wtf did cevat want?
10+
million sales by the look of it, becuase he is enititled to it just
like he is entiled of selling 5 times more on consoles and he is
entitled to sell cryengine and make it famous like unreal engine.
Are
we done now? Do you know understand that crytek and cevat are full of
themselfs and they got unreallistic expectasions and delussions of
greatness when in reallity no one bought their games on cosnoles and
their engine didnt became the new unreal engine as they thought and in
the end of the day pc gamers were right they should have sticked to pc
because from what they got RIGHT NOW, being only pc would have put them
in a better finacial state from what they are RIGHT NOW, which happened
because crytek are full of themsles and overestimated their
capabilities, the fact they got 800 empoyes while dice has 500 proves
that crytek just hired people ignorant the real picture. Ill say it
again crysis 2 and 3 were made on crysis 1 sales budget.
10. Yes why would anyone stay exlusive to pc when you can make more money by releasing to other systems? They turn horror games into action for more sales, you think they got a reason to stay pc exlusive? Cdprojekt is also doing consoles but they dont go around asking for 5-10 million sales and point to piracy if they get them and say “if we did this on console we would sell more” nor dumb down their games and miss the point and then blame piracy for their failures.
Example, if crytek finacials were bad and crysis 1 and 2 did “broke even” as cevat said, then why they got more developers and expanded in more studios? If they put all their money in crysis 3 then why did crysis 3 take less time to develop than crysis 1 and 2 and it was shorter? Seems like a cashgrab to me. if it is TRUE that consoles bring 5 times more money how come RYSE didnt do that?
How about crysis not being possible on consoles due to low ram?
Are we done now? have i convinced you that cevat is full of himself?
It’s easily solved just make it to where the Multiplayer has to be played through Steam and that will cut down a lot of the piracy.
Not everyone likes using Stream so that’s not the answer.
That is the Answer Just like EA with Origin. You cant say that’s not the Answer when its a logical solution
logical solution doesn’t mean answer.
How many PC gamers are there? then look at how many Steam users there are? See what I mean by “Not everyone likes using Stream so that’s not the answer.”
There are over 60 million users if not more between Steam and Origin. So yes it is a logical Answer.
So some PC gamers use steam, while others use Origin, some use both hence your 60 million that is still behind a console network of over 110 million PSN accounts ( now if you add XBL that would be approx 160 million ( 100 million more than your figure ) so yet again ( Not everyone likes using Stream so that’s not the answer.) IF it was the answer they would have chosen that solution BUT it was the logical solution hence why Crytek made the choices they did.
Again you are still wrong and have no clue what you are talking about. If they made it steam only and Origin only for multiplayer games it would reduce it significantly. FYI there 900 million PC gamers so yes it would make a difference. Crytek is destroying there self , although They made an official announcement that this was a incorrect statement by a German Magazine Company, However they have gone down hill moving more towards Consoles because profit is less on Consoles than on PC.
I’m not wrong as Crytek have NOT done what you are stating and have done what I posted LMAO!
FYI there 900 million PC gamers ( but only 60 million users if not more between Steam and Origin ) as you clearly pointed out.
so yet again ( Not everyone likes using Stream so that’s not the answer.) IF it was the answer they would have chosen that solution ( but they didn’t ) and continue not to do so either ?
Fact is the *PC exclusive* didn’t sell as good as Crytek wanted due to some PC gamers stealing their game losing them millions, which has nothing to do with consoles or console gamers whatsoever.
So to place the blame onto Crytek going to consoles for the position they are in now is false as that game was PC ONLY? so due to some PC gamers and their actions of piracy towards Crysis was the cause for Crytek stopping PC exclusives, and going towards consoles.
SO again you continue to prove my point That Piracy would stop if they used Steam and Origin. So thanks now move on.
OK how would game piracy stop IF using Steam and Origin?
Because they only allow a valid Key Code the end
Because you have to have a valid Key to use a game on Steam or Origin. So when you play multiplayer or even single player It recognizes that it is a valid copy. For single player offline game that will probably be pirated that may not be able to be stopped. But if you want to play multiplayer or Co-op it needs to be a valid game.
But that still doesn’t stop pirated games from being used OR games being stolen and then used. I still remember having a game from new ( half life 2 ) and all I got was “activation code or cd key already in use” from Steam even when it was mine. So yet again ( Not everyone likes using Stream so that’s not the answer.)
So again it would stop Pirating on multiplayer games. this is a fact. Because you cant use it on Steam or Origin.
You can use pirated multiplayer games on *un-official servers*, so no it doesn’t stop Pirating multiplayer games. The devs / publishers still lose money.
Not many if any AAA titles have un official servers so your point is invalid esp with EA. And you’re still missing the point that neither Steam or Origin allow illegal Keys on their system
Point being made is that Steam and Origin do not stop piracy ( hence they are not the solution ) and my point in not invalid at all as it happens as we type.lol
Again you are missing the point. Look at COD and BF4 no multiplayer piracy you know why because they are required to run through either steam or Origin.
I’m not missing anything, as not everyone likes using Stream so that’s not the answer to stopping piracy.
“Look at COD and BF4 no multiplayer piracy”.. = Wrong as PC BF4 can be played online with a pirate copy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0zzYqQcCK8
Again its can not and is considered a bannable offense. Steam and Origin both have software in place that detects illegal Keys.
But fact is it didn’t stop the game from being pirated or played online did it. Steam and Origin is not the solution to piracy. ( shown by above video )
Do you realize how long that last. In no time there software will catch it and ban them just like Steam does. So im still sticking to the fact that it will stop it.
lmao! IF it stops it we wouldn’t see it happening. Which means that Steam doesn’t stop games from being pirated or played online? Why can you just not except that …FACT. Ok here it is… Steam and Origin is not the solution to piracy as people use those services and still play pirated games, and are playing online too.
Im done Arguing with you about this I’ve been in the gaming industry for more than 20 years. I’ve giving you logical examples you refuse to accept reality that it could work and does already. With VAC and EA’s software they use. Good bye.
Proof in the pudding was shown to you that Steam and Origin do not ( and have not ) stopped piracy for offline gameplay OR online gameplay, and that 100% means that using Steam / Origin to combat piracy is not the solution like you’re stating.
right its not like crysis has sold on pc just as much as crysis 2 on all systems if not more.
That was then when they got 3 milion sales out of crysis ONLY on pc and they still werent high enough for those morons.
Like i said crytek was full of themselfs they have delusions of greatness and they had to lower their expectasions they are not as good as they think, just like crysis 2-3 sales on consoles and poor adaption of cryengine proved.
1 – Valve stop making games and focus only in steam and steam future.
2 – Ubisoft sell us lies and downgraded BS.
4 – Every game become multiplayer only.
5 – And now Crytek.
Seriously What’s left for us?!
R.I.P. PC Games….
Capcom, oh wait…
pc games are still there and they are even more games now and they are growing. many companies come and go, last gen THQ/Atari, this generation maybe more, crytek/capcom etc…
It’s been less than a year since Valve released DOTA 2, and over the last 18 months they’ve ported every game they’ve ever released to Linux. Even Ricochet.
They probably have one or two games nearing completion right now waiting for Steam OS to be ready so they can say, “Buy a Steam Machine, get these new games free”.
Even with the annoyances, PC gaming is still in better shape than console gaming.
Valve backed off some because they are working on Source 2 Engine
The amount of peasants accusing PC gamers of piracy in this article is so damn high. They released every other of their games on console , last one was x1 exclusive which no one could even pirate. And then this happens…. But it must be due Crysis 1 PC pirates.
“The Crytek we knew” died as soon as Crysis 2 became a console game. Serves these traitors right. Console games always turn out to be shit.
clap clap
Ryse is only easy if you play it on easy. There is no way in hell you can say you played Ryse at the hardest to second hardest setting and thought it was easy. I beat the game on every level and the hard one is still hard.
Ryse is a great game its just anchored by the inception the gaming journalism did on all the weak minded gamers.
i know
“a lot of big publishers are waiting for a possible bankrupt in order to sign the talent and shop the IPs from Crytek.”
That’s the best thing that could happen to Crytek. Give the IPs to someone who knows how to make games with outstanding gameplay instead of tech demos
…and then EA buys them.
considering their large dev team, you are pretty much looking at the same people who wil leave crytek and go somewhere, else, where did crytek get those people anyway? from other studios.
what? Ryse was garbage anyway who cares.
But not crytek engine. Nobody is talking about Rise, article just said that Rise didnt sold well!
Thats the consequences of not having a vision and you are after sales. Crytec used to have a vision but after the release Crysis they totally lost it. Yerli was soooo disappointed about the sales of Crysis that even said they make a mistake with Crysis and they release a dumbed down Crysis 2. How you can release a game with advance physics and technology and then release a game with the same engine number 2 with no physics and dumb down graphics???
well said.
By May 2010 the (PC version) has sold over 3 million units (Crysis 1) same as Crysis 2 on all platforms combined….
The problem with their new games isn’t how they look it’s how they play. Which is to say nothing like Crysis 1.
I thought they made CryEngine practically free already? If people still aren’t picking it up that’s not good. UE4 seems like a considerable departure from UE3, so it was a good opening to get some people to switch over. I wonder if it’s difficult to learn, or just different enough from Unreal, Source, etc. that it’s a turnoff.
Learn what quotes are used for.
A quote can be used to counter an argument, or to attempt to validate one. Perhaps you and the OP should learn what context means and how to apply it to a statement. Without any context, it appears the OP posted said quote as a mirror of his own feelings on the matter.
Should the OP wish to have conveyed a sense of disbelief or disagreement with the quoted statement, then the OP should have at least attempted to do so. Context is king, gentlemen, learn to use it.
He’s quoting what someone said, nothing more and what the quote from the person said is in-line what we’re talking about. Context has nothing to do with it, you can’t change the context of the person being quoted.
I can see where the problem is here. You aren’t very bright. If you quote someone, it can be for numerous reasons. If you do not state the reason, then one will be applied for you. This is context.
If the OP quoted Stalin, or Khan (Genghis, not Noonien Singh) or Hitler without stating whether or not he agreed or disagreed with the statement, then the majority of people would assume the former, rather than the latter. Since most people post quotes as a form of affirmation for an argument they are trying to make, it is entirely reasonable for one to assume that the OP was also quoting to affirm a personal belief or argument.
As I said, context is king.
He’s quoting something in regard to the article. Do you understand why it was quoted? 63 upvotes seem to but not you.
I hope they recover.
Remember that early trailer, it was originally supposed to be a first person game where you control the character’s arms with your own arms. The real question is why Microsoft stepped in and forced Crytek to turn this interesting concept into a God of War clone at a time when God of War was rapidly losing popularity and DmC was a failure. Maybe they saw Sony’s failure with the Move fighting game but that would be silly as it’s completely different. PS3 owners weren’t willing to invest in new hardware just to play one fighting game. Meanwhile the Xbone was going to sell either way and Ryse would have made a good argument for the mandatory inclusion of Kinect. As it stands Ryse is a quick time event movie, it fails as a Kinect game AND as a God of War clone. They scrapped a promising concept and ended up with nothing.
I’m perusing the comments here, and all I can see is PC ‘master race’ drivel, self-deluded notions that Ryse was a good game, and dogmatic beliefs that console games are ‘bad’.
And you lot wonder why people mock you.
I mock you back. And your little dog, too!
am sorry what you are talking sony f@g?
Your delusions that sony is the best is worse.
I blame the gamers. especially sony and xone fanboys. their expectations are above financial stability. next gen gaming is too costly for most developers. so we have a few huge developers that are going to make next gen gamng, thats it. no developers are going to flip the bill for next gen gaming. also next gen should be more than graphical power. next gen gaming should be bringing something new to the table. not just pretty games.
well, i blame whoever is responsible for dumbign down crysis, consols with their ram or just crytek? i blame them.
Crytek is a great studio someone should step in and buy them not as individual talent but as a complete studio. Microsoft, Ubisoft, EA they could benefit greatly with them on their side.
What I am wandering is, why developers won’t use CE3 and they opt for UE3. For me CE3 is way better. It might even be better than UE4 (I know It’s to early for that)
Familiarity? Once you are comfortable with an engine and its editor you kinda want to stick with it. I remember trying to learn Unreal after Goldsource and it was so confusing even though I liked UE better as a player.
Yeah, I forgot about that.
That still serves no purpose when engines are designed for different game types.
I personally don’t use CryEngine because it’s massively out-of-date tools and lack of optimization make it horrible to work with. That and their $10 a month ‘License’ DOESN’T give you full source code (contrary to popular belief), and was a poor attempt to undercut Epic Games with Unreal 4, which has literally smashed the crap out of the developer community. Desperation on CryTek’s probably, judging by this article.
Would be a shame to see such an engine go to waste, but they’ve been behind for years now. The only thing that people seem to push with CryEngine is it’s Dynamic GI, which is almost no different to LPV’s in UE, and only supports one light.
So is Unreal Engine 4 seeing wide adoption? I’m seeing more games announced for it, but they have mostly been from smaller developers (e.g. Lichdom)
They certainly are, a lot of the larger developers are taking it on board. Lionhead Studios here in the UK are developing Fable with it, and Epic are continuously updating their ‘Games powered by Unreal’ list.
Mind you, some of the biggest companies have their own in-house tools which they’re more familiar with, DICE (EA), Ubisoft, even Sony have their own development engine. The market is really in the Indie side of things, I think Unreal has tapped into what was originally Unity’s market just at the right time.
Lmao you people and talking all this BS and not knowing anything about what you are saying.
i am not upset about them having troubles after selling out with crysis and rise and the bad comments they made about pc piracy etc. I thought crysis 3 was the worst one.
Hey remember how you said you bought a ps4 for exlusives and how pc has to do something in that regard?
Well here we go, on a interview on various features of ps4, yoshida was asked why there arent many exlusive AAA games on ps4 and he replied that AAA games are getting very expensive so ps4 will have less AAA games compared to ps3 but there will be more indie games coming out.
Indiestation 4 confirmed.
Call me in 2-3 years when ps4 has enough exlusives worth buying. I predicted this will happen in the industry years ago, not suprised it happens to sony that their finacials are kinda bad right now.
On the other hand ms claims they spend 1 billion on exlusives, we will see how that goes. Nitendo is the only one who will come out of this without problems since their exlusives dont cost alot to make.
did you like the exclusive results crytek?? well done!!! just because crysi pc gaming was the biggest pirate game does not justify the fact that it was a gr8 game and you gained fans that want to support you but now well good luck!!!!!
I hate EA, some people wanted another mercenaries game.
and saboteur, they killed that and the studio before they even released it.
did you even read that?
lol posting vchartzs, the site that doesnt include didgital sales which is where pc game sale come from,
You made a complete fool of yourself.
Timesplitters Rewind? NOOOOOOOOOOO!! Good Bye world! http://i2.asntown.net/h2//funny-gif/2-17-11/shooting.gif
What will happen to indie developers building in CryENGINE if they go bankrupt?
pwnd what you gonna do know dumbass? but dont worry you got ratchet and clank MOVIE and a remake that wont even be by insomniac.
ahahhaahha
I was deleting a comment I accidentally got put in the moderation queue, you f*ckwit. :^)
And it is by Insomniac, as I just comprehensively destroyed you YET AGAIN. :^)
you didnt say anything and you destroyed me, wow someone has delusions of greatness. Sorry no titanfal for ps4 because they contacted sony multple times and they refused. No sunset overdrive for ps4 because sony were FCKIGN C3NTS and wante to own the ip.
So in conclusion sony are not “for the gamers” they just care to much about their own fake image and xbox wil have more games this gen.
PWND once again go cry in the corner sony dck rider.
Xbone has no games! :^)
Have you heard? only 4/10 sony exlusives are profitable, meaning that
they have been doing what i suspected all allong. They keep making
sequels to those exlusives to give the fake image that sony exlsuives
are wanted by gamers when in reallity only a small fraction of gamers
care about them.
Typical sony lying and overhyping.
“Greatness” is a LIE!!
Sony finacials are bad and AAA games are becoming to expensive, therefore ps4 is gonna have less AAA.
On the other hand ms has money and they will have more games this gen.
Have you heard? Dakan is a moron who is also very slow.
Most games barely break even in the industry, Dakan. This is not news.
Typical Dakan mouthbreathing and being an idiot. Where was the MS AAA IPs at E3? Where were the megatons?
Lets see if i got this, sony release 10 games, only 4 of them sell well and the rest flop, and the keep releasing them…yet dakan is the moron and very slow???
Apparently sony doesnt understand economics or they are pretentious twats, thats why their finacials are so bad.
I ll tell you where were the new ips in E3 when you tell me where is that greatness you sony ponies keep talking about.
So where are all those ips that sony studios are working on?
Where are they?
So you got bloodborne, aka demons souls 2, a f2p game by suda 51 and some indies games.
Big deal, xbox has phantom dust,sunset overdrive project spark and scalebound, so big freaking deal my dumb pony.
Yes. Because apparently you don’t know that most games at best break even. Dumbass. :^)
Why should you care what games the Shitbox has? You’re mustard race. Oh wait, no you aren’t, you’re just another butt blasted Xbot with no games to play. :^)
” you don’t know that most games at best break even. Dumbass. :^)”
BAHAHAHAHHAHA
Typical sony drone damage controling if most games broke even they wouldnt make them you RETARD.
My god the sony pony excuses and damage controling.
Enjoy your crappy exlusives that no one gives a damn about “but we got naughty dog”
yes you do, wel done moron.
No i am pc master race, go to my gamespot profile i only play pc games and the only consoles i owned were sony consoles,i just hate you sony r3tards, but ill get right back at you.
Why you bash xbox so much and care so much about sony?
Last time i checked you had a x360 last gen, so you were a xbot, i guess that means you lied and you were a sony pony all along, desperatly defending sony with ps4 tank images, grow up kid.
Yes, most of them do break even. That’s why most companies are slowing down AAA development now including MS.
Keep damage controlling for a console you don’t own, paranoid loser. :^)
If am borring why you keep replying?
Titanfall is still the number one played mp game, dont be mad you cant play it.
“Looks like Crytek wants to take over the Ryse IP too. Guess they’re FCKIGN C3NTS as well.
So lets see if i got this, crytek are C3NTS because they want to own their own ip, but sony arent C3NTS for wanting to own every ip that a developer makes exlusive to their system.
You arenot making sense, yet you call me a moron.
Sorry to dissapoint but you are the retard that lives in delussion ps4 has no games either.
The diffirence is ps4 will have no games in the future and xbone will.
Must be mad that you bought a next gen system without games.
BUT HEY dong forget to go around the net and trash xbone becuase you got nothign to play jackass.
ill just sit here wait for the trashboxes to release any good games, sony looks like will focus on indies, thats sad.
Funny thing about bloodbonre and demon souls, when your friends at sony played demons soulds they thought the game was bad and too hard so they decided to release it only in japan, after it backfired namco released it worlwide.
Got sony is such a failure and lets not forget, they are company the ps4 cpu to ps2 cpus becuase ps3 has a more powerfull cpu.
BAAHAHAHHAHA
Lets see if i got this
Titanfall has more people playing mp than shadowfall mp and you call it dead?
Makes perfect sense.
Sorry timmy you are dumb not dakan.
” I was calling Microsoft FCKIGN C3NTS because they’re the ones who want the IP.”
Sony turned down titanfal 4 times, who are the c3nts again?
“PS4 has more and better games now and in the future. Just like the 360,
MS will stop paying other studios to make games for them in two years.
Dumb Dakan in tatters again. :^)”
Yoshida confirmed that ps4 will have less exlusives than ps3 because they cant afford them and they keep remind you that ps4 has indie games, thats what ps4 is indiestation 4.
ms has invested 1 billion on exlusives and the new xbox head is a gamer.
Sony has the hardware but xbox is gonna need the exlusives.
Sorry kid in 2 years sony could be dead while ms is gonna have the exlusives, last time i checked all ms exlusives scored higher on metacritic than sony exlusives like say titanfall beating inflopious and lets not forget infamous is not a profitable series, very few people care about it, you saying ps4 has better games when nobody buys them and they are rated lower than ms exlusives on metacritic.
Dumb timmy being a clueless retard once again… feel free to stop making a fool out of yourself wherever you want timmy.
More tears from Dumb Dakan.
Titanshit is dead, mate. Deal with it. No need to bring up Killzone to deflect it.
Sony turned down bailing out Shitspawn because they didn’t want them leaking the PS4 specs to MS. Sensible decision in the end. So, I guess MS are C3NTS for demanding the Ryse IP and letting Crytek flounder when they wouldn’t comply. Nice guys.
Where were the first party AAA IPs at E3, Dumb Dakan? Looks like MS is going down the same road Ubisoft and SCE are going. A billion on exclusives? Where’s the evidence then?
“T-the new Xbox h-head is a g-gamer!!!” So? Don Mattrick had 25 years of experience as an actual game developer. Spencer is little more than a career businessman. Being a “gamer” doesn’t count for shit.
Yep, MS is gonna have all the exclusives like Ryse, Crimson Dragon, Lococycle, Halo Spartan Assault, Fighter Within, Kinect Sports Rivals and Soda Drinker Pro. You can have them. :^)
Oh yeah, Titanflop isn’t exclusive. Idiot. :^)
Dumb Dakan in tatters again.
I was just wondering if anybody knows if the shield andriod tv will be released in stores
