Crytek deep into PS3 development, creating "secret technologies"
Crytek, the team behind the upcoming Crysis, is heavily invested in console development. In fact, it appears that Crytek is especially invested in Sony's next-gen platform. "Our PS3 development is going deeper than many people assume right now," studio boss Cevat Yerli told GI.biz.The team is currently working on a console game, and it appears that the game is being built from the ground up for PS3. "It's a complete departure from Crysis and Far Cry, it's not a first-person shooter," he explained. The game, which is also bound for Xbox 360, won't feature any of the cross-platform issues that have been plaguing sloppier releases. "For that, we're optimising technology, but for another reason, the future in general, there is a dedicated PS3 team."Crytek is working on additional technologies, specifically for Sony's platform. "The PS3 room is separate because we have some secret technologies being developed there which are not related to CryEngine 2." Obviously, this comes as exciting news -- one just has to take one look at Crysis to see the incredible grasp Crytek has on bleeding edge technology. We can't wait to see what they're cooking up for the PS3.
Crytek: You'll poop your pants!, Us: Thanks?
In what's sure to become the "flaming ninjas" quote of the modern era, Crytek chief Cevat Yerli has dropped the following bon mot about the aliens in his forthcoming game Crysis: "The first time you see them you'll shit your pants!" In other news: Crytek is having a hard time keeping testers. Yerli continues in his chat with CVG, describing the shooter as like "the last good horror game you played," but different during every session. (How long until you make bad-bad in your shorts this time? Five minutes? Ten? You've gotta play to find out!) Needless to say, he never really reaches the heights (or is it the lows?) of his prior proclamation of bowel-movement-inducing scares. Of course, there's no release date yet for the game, so there's always the chance that the ravages of old age could finish the grim work of making us game in our own self-mess before Crysis can get to us. Let's hope not.
