There are now two immensely visually disappointing demos for the game available, a sad state of affairs for a game that not long ago was the benchmark for shooters on a graphical front.
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?

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."
"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.
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?
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.
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.
Rarely do you see something with so much potential (Crytek) shoot themselves in the foot so many times.
Instead of sending a C&D Crytek should thank him, for this, because this will lead to more people buying and playing the game.
They sure do, hope they delay the PS3 version and at least make it on par with the Xbox 360.
Get rid of motion blur/bloom. Btw does it really look that bad on ps3? I haven't tried it yet but blops is pretty ugly too as are many other games. Is all this hate just because of high expectations from crytek?
This is the same comment that I have posted over at the other post. Firstly, I have to say that the PS3 demo disappoints me. It is below my expectations.
However, I have the privilege of playing a near final (or perhaps even final) build of crysis 2 last week at a EA showcase event. The build consists of the entire campaign, and I have played parts of it on the PS3 with 3D. From what I remember, the build that I have played in the event is MUCH better than the demo that I am playing right now. Even with the 3D, the game looks nowhere as blurry as what the demo now is. The framerate is also quite stable, didnt see much screen tearing as well.
I also have the chance of playing the Xbox 360 build at the event, and compared to the PS3, graphically wise, I think they are pretty much on par. However, with the 3D on the PS3 set, it is hard to give a clear comparison. One thing I noticed on the Xbox 360 set is that the framerate drops more frequently than the PS3, especially when barrels or cars explode.
I am still going ahead with my preorder, and I am somewhat confident that it will turn out better than the demo. If not, I will be selling it after playing through the single-player.
