That fact already equals over 7 1st party developers.

He means Crytek is a large company made up of many studios. There's Crytek Frankfurt (the main one I believe), Crytek UK (formerly Free Radical), Crytek South Korea, Crytek Black Sea (formerly Black Sea Studios), Crytek Ukraine, and Crytek Budapest. So no, it's not over seven, but six is still a damn good number.

Crysis 2 was BOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG!!

A.I was awful, just awful.

FUCKING DO IT MICROSOFT BECAUSE IF YOU GET CRYTEK THEN YOU GET CRYTEK UK AKA THE OTHER HALF OF RAREWARE. MERGE THEM WITH RARE AND WE GET THE CLASSIC A GOLD TEAM BACK, FUCKING BUY CRYTEK. KILLER INSTICT 3 AND TIMESPLITTERS 4; IF YOU HAVE A SHRED OF DECENCY AND AT LEAST HALF A BRAIN YOU'LL DO IT.

I don't have Crysis 2 but it couldn't have been anymore disappointing than Killzone 3.

It was disappointing graphical(on consoles) and story wise, but like I said it's just my opinion.

Look at the new dx11 patch for Crysis 2. Battlefield 3 may not be the standout winner for best graphics now.

This, the DX11 and high res texture pack make it look fucking ridiculous.

As I have stated before, The Witcher 2 is the best looking game so far... ever.. Even with the DX11 Patch and high res textures, Crysis 2 still doesnt look as good as The Witcher 2.

Crytek actually are meh. I've never heard anyone praise them for great storylines or innovative gameplay. The only praise they get is from morons who think graphics equals quality....

Yeah no.

The Timesplitters series was most succesful by a large margin on the PS2. It would be unwise of Crytek to make Timesplitters 4 a Microsoft exclusive.

It would be comparable to Mass Effect 4 becoming a Playstation exclusive.

I'm pretty sure that had more to do with the PS2 selling 4 times the amount of consoles. All multiplats save maybe Splinter Cell and a few others sold better on the PS2.

The orginal Timesplitters was only ever released on PS2, so that system was where the initial fanbase of the series was established. That's the point i'm making.

Right, but don't forget that alot of 360 owners owned a PS2 last gen. Contrary to those who believe it, brand loyalty does not exist =3. There is no guarantee that PS3 owners of this gen will go with Playstation in the future.

Well I would like to guarantee that I'm still going to be with playStation next gen.

Not really the point. But thanks for the reassurance?


MS should still buy Crytek. They need some 1st party studios for next gen. The should probably pick up Epic Games too.

I thought Epic Games said that they wanted to stay independent? Eh, who knows. I think MS should buy all the 1st party devs they can.

Epic games would most likely be bought by EA rather than Microsoft.

EA doesn't need to purchase any more studios, their partners program is working great for them. I don't think Epic would ever agreed to being bought by Microsoft since they make a lot of money from licensing the Unreal Engine to multiplatform and if they were Microsoft first party, the engine would become a 360 exclusive and that cuts off a revenue stream.

BioWare cost EA $900 million plus, imagine how much Epic would cost!?

Damn that's a lot of money, but it will most likely sell to EA. I'm not saying it will, but they seem to make a lot of games for EA which makes me believe they feel more comfortable as a EA partner than anything else.

My thoughts exactly, i can't think of another company i would rather see them with.
