OXM - Crytek is the games industry's newest superpower. The company started in 1999 with a PC tech demo; that blossomed into the beautiful but blundering Far Cry. Ubisoft took subsequent development in-house, so Crytek applied its learnings to the glossier Crysis and its more open sequel Crysis 2. Now, it may have nailed the formula with Crysis 3, reviewed on page XXX - and perfected its hugely-impressive engine technology just in time for the arrival of the next Xbox, where it will be powering Homefront 2 and a new game from the creators of Darksiders - both from studios the company owns outright. We spoke to founder and CEO Cevat Yerli, about building Crysis and guessing what the next generation of consoles is capable of.
This is interesting news for comic and Far Cry fans as something new in the universe for the game is always welcome. Villains from popular Far Cry games are transported into prehistoric times by the priestess Batari, who has pulled them from their lives before they've committed their most heinous crimes.

Why do they make every f****** thing goofier and goofier
Watch Dogs become whacky, Assassins Creed jumped the shark, Ghost Recon become less serious now this
I think it is the trend. They look around and say ok; what can be done that will not infringe upon the next game and this is what happens. I heard rumors of the next Far Cry offering may be in Alaska and there was also an Online offering coming. So we get this to tide us over.
MP1st talks to Crytek about Hunt: Showdown's success, future title updates, inspiration behind weapons and more.
Crytek gives an update on their new Crysis game, confirming that it's still in development, with more to share down the road.
Yeah they really messed up by not adding the Multi-player to the Crysis Triogly because while the campaign was fun I really loved the Multi-player and couldn't wait to see what it was going to be like on current gen.
They could have dropped new maps and DLC and fans would have bought it up... -But they dropped the ball and did just the Campaign's with no new content or story, which was just crazy.
Anyway still hoping Crysis 4 is the whole Chicken Sandwhich with all the toppings.... Can't wait.
That's awesome. So how long till the studio closes and everyone gets fired?
Actually a really good read. Amazing that a PC developer could have me so excited for the next gen console launch
when did it become a super power :p
crytek is the representation of the worst of the game industry,for the sake of the gamers this compañy must vanish.or comeback to make "games" to pc only to sell graphic card.
Far Cry 3 is all about immersion and the thrill of the hunt. Love this game and is in my top 5 of all time. If you haven't played it do yourself a favor. I'd would buy it cause your getting a 30 hour campaign, decent fun multiplayer and map editor, plus 4 player co-op. What more could you want?
Oh yeah jet skis and sharks nuff said.
Didnt they say %60 percent of creating a great game is all graphics? Im guessing the other %40 is split for %30 multiplayer & %5 gameplay & %5 story which does not lead to a winning formula.
