Again, hoping to see more at Gamescom. This could be huge, the crytek 3 engine is simply the best around in my opinion. Only time will tell how the game will pan out though, but I have a lot of faith in Crytek.

captain-obvious5067d ago

i like this kind of games
so i need to know more about it

TROLL EATER5067d ago

like gladiator and 300. sounds very interesting

Christopher5067d ago

Kind of a misleading title. It's fundamentally different than their shooter games, but not necessarily from games within the same genre.

lastdual5067d ago (Edited 5067d ago )

We don't even know what genre it is. It might be very unique, or it might not be.

Right now all we have to go on is that it looks to take place in a Roman Empire-era setting, and clearly it will be violent. It could be an action game, an action-RPG, first-person slasher, who knows...

Christopher5067d ago

I didn't say it wasn't unique, I said the quote is out of context and misleading since they say the new game is fundamentally different from Crysis 1 & 2 and not necessarily fundamentally different from other games out there.

The sad thing is the lack of English skills here that I have to say the same thing twice because people don't know the difference between 'not necessarily' and 'is not'.

Sorry if I come off as bitchy, but sick and tired of people not comprehending posts here and just writing things that make it look like I said something I didn't.

EliteAssass1n5067d ago

a gladiator action RPG would be awesome!!

Roper3165067d ago

How can you call a engine that hasn't been seen or used in a retail game yet the best engine? Sure the tech demos look great but there is a huge difference between a tech demo and a retail version of a game.

to me until beaten by a retail release which proves otherwise Naughty Dog has the best engine going.

adamant7155067d ago

@cgoodno

You're obviously not reading his post either. He never said that you said it wasn't unique, all he was saying is that it COULD be or it COULD NOT be unique.

Christopher5067d ago

@adamant: He's responding to me, not the article. He inferred that I said otherwise in his response.

*sighs*

AAACE55067d ago

I am still shocked by the graphics! I watched the vid from E3, but it wasn't until I downloaded it on my 360 that I saw how realistic it looked! It didn't really look like game graphics, it looked like they just had real people performing.

I hope the end result turns out like this! Can't wait to see more.

I'm very interested in seeing some gameplay, or even just concept art, just to see what this game is going to be.

Bnet3435067d ago

Finally someone has the balls to do something other than a shooter. This will be a refreshing game and hope to hear about it soon. With the Cry Engine, it will be a nice to see how it looks.

SOAD5067d ago

Yes, let's set aside all the developers that make platformers and RPGs and MMOs and say that Crytek is finally the one to have the balls.

dragonelite5067d ago

You dont see shooter devs change genre much you have some all purpose devs out their like insomniac and bungie(past work before halo) to name two populair devs.

It would be interesting to see a dev like bioware to make a pure FPS i would reckon it would be like deus ex without the rpg elements.

Alos885067d ago

I hope it doesn't have Cry in the title, that's always struck me as a cheesy trait of Crytek's games.

RyuDrinksTheDew5067d ago

im pretty sure this game is gonna be huge. Microsoft didnt get exclusiveness for no reason.

ATLGAMER5067d ago

maybe they payed for it....

lelo2play5067d ago

Newsfalsh... my guess is that everybody pays to get a 3rd party studio exclusive game.

Bnet3435067d ago

lelo2play is correct. Sony had to pay to get Heavy Rain on their system. Same thing for Microsoft paying for getting Alan Wake on their system.

captain-obvious5067d ago (Edited 5067d ago )

like alan wake right ??

dont start hypin it if you dont know anything about it

xX-PEIN-Xx5067d ago

no, maybe like FF13 and GTA 4 DLC. I know your an Xbot but you can't discredit what he said.

lelo2play5067d ago (Edited 5067d ago )

Don't troll... Alan Wake is a great game. Hope Remedy makes Alan Wake 2.

Bnet3435067d ago (Edited 5067d ago )

PS3 fans were hyping The Agent as soon as it was announced with no info because a big developer was behind it, don't be so quick to judge the 360 fans. The people behind this game have a good track record, why wouldn't they hype it? I'm excited for the simple fact that it isn't a shooter. I don't know about you, but I'm getting a little tired of those.

@xX-PEIN-Xx

A lot of devs make that jump with no problems. Valve and BioWare come to mind. Don't be so stuck up, they will do fine. They have Crysis 2 coming down the pipes too.

Pennywise5067d ago

Oh its hype!!! GOTY 2012! :P

xX-PEIN-Xx5067d ago

@Kigmal Remind me, since when did Crytek become a respected developer on consoles?

Crytek Gives Brief Update on New Crysis Game; Studio Has a "Great Team" Working on It

Crytek gives an update on their new Crysis game, confirming that it's still in development, with more to share down the road.

DefenderOfDoom2185d ago

Actually would love a new Crysis campaign.

P_Bomb184d ago

Ditto. Ran through them again last year. I’ll grab the new one.

Crazyglues184d ago (Edited 184d ago )

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.

PrinceOfAnger184d ago (Edited 184d ago )

Yeah It will probably be 5 years development

SimpleSlave184d ago (Edited 184d ago )

That's awesome. So how long till the studio closes and everyone gets fired?

purple101184d ago

Series S owners: "but can it run crysis doh?"

Crytek Sends Cease and Desist To A Popular Photo Mode Modder Frans Bouma

Immersed Gamer writes: "Frans Bouma just received a Cease and Desist letter from Crytek, developers of Crysis. Did he pirate their game? Or maybe he infringed on their copyright? What horrible thing did Bouma do to deserve this? Well, he modded in a photo mode so that people could take beautiful pictures and share them on social media."

Open source the code and dump it on the internet.

mastershredder874d ago

"from his Patreon page" Uhhhh yeah.......Oh gee and I wonder why that was problem? You know where this goes there Filip or perhaps you are just not quite yet.

Mazgamer874d ago (Edited 874d ago )

It's astounding how quickly someone uniformed will take a side of soulless company just because a modder might be making some pocket change.

For your information: He puts all of his camera mode mods on GitHub, completely free of charge. His Patreon is nothing more than a way to tip him some cash for his work.

He says so himself on his GitHub page:
I do this for fun, not profit, but can't create cameras for games I don't own. I've therefore setup a Patreon page which allows you to safely support my work".

Are you following "mastershredder", or are you not quite there yet?

Giblet_Head874d ago

I did some digging and from what I can see it's probably the "early access" releases of his mods only through Patreon that may have stirred Crytek to send the C&D. Apart from that his mods are indeed available free of charge through his GitHub page.

CobraKai874d ago

It’s a non-profit mod tho. It confuses me cuz modders can do things like completely overhaul the art assets of a game or add licensed cars, but adding a photo mode seems to get the cease.

Orchard874d ago

I guess they want to be the next T2/Rockstar...

Fishy Fingers874d ago

Rarely do you see something with so much potential (Crytek) shoot themselves in the foot so many times.

BlackIceJoe874d ago

Instead of sending a C&D Crytek should thank him, for this, because this will lead to more people buying and playing the game.
