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?
Pure Xbox writes: "Microsoft has appointed Alan Hartman as the new Head of Xbox Game Studios. If you're not familiar with Hartman, he's been part of Forza Motorsport team at Turn 10 Studios since 2005.
Over the past couple of years he's led as Corporate Vice President of Forza and Fable, and before this was the Forza Studio Head at Turn 10."
Seems like a solid choice considering Forza and FH have been the only high quality studio, consistently for Microsoft.
*Forza and FH are the most consistent high quality and this guy ran Turn 10. Playground did FH but still high quality. Let's see if he can get some quality production out of the rest
He´s been doing an excellent job ahead of both Forza franchises integrating those studios to work together by sharing knowledge, technology and manpower.
The new ForzaTech is amazing and I can´t wait to see what it can do for the new Fable.
Phil Spencer has been promoting a huge shake up at Xbox with new leadership hopefully full of fresh ideas!
I hope Alan Hartman as head of XGS to keep the focus on single player games and RPGs. Fable looks absolutely stunning, so we can expect Forza Horizon´s level of excellence for Playground´s first RPG.
I can´t wait!
What a nice reward for the latest Forza, which is probably the most mediocre of the lot so far.
@redgrave not an excuse an explanation for why this game has less features. Not my problem you don't understand how game development works or development in general. When you move to a knew platform some things need to be rebuilt from the ground up.
I am currently migrating one of our services we provide to our customers to the cloud version and having to rebuild a lot of the add-ons we had built for them over the years.
But go ahead and keep criticizing devs when no one here has any clue what it actually takes.
Still think Rod Fergusson would have been a good shout. He's got a track record of fixing stuff and I assume he's still at Blizzard.
Not heard of this guy but I feel like anyone is better than Matt Booty
I thought Dan Greenawalt was head of Turn10 though (although I noticed he didn't do the on stage stuff at e3 this year). Is he not there anymore?
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! This is the best news I've heard since the last piece of xbox news!
Go team xbox! Xbox will rule the world!
He's over overlooked The Forza games which have been consistently good through our the years. Hopefully he has the same eye for quality for the rest if the studios going forward.
How can anyone deny that Forza has been a quality franchise for almost two decades?
“How can anyone deny that Forza has been a quality franchise for almost two decades?“
Forza Motorsport declined after FM4. And this release was one of the worst in the series.
I dont have a 360 but I think Alan wake did a good job. Gears 3 too.
Funny how the article poses a question and then answers it for us.
doesnt need 1
At this point, the only hope is Crytek's Kingdoms.
We will see.
Microsoft are the most lazy and un-imaginative platform holder of the 3. They're surviving on XBL and 3rd party titles meanwhile Sony and Nintendo continue to try and push out new hardware (3DS, NGP, Wii 2) and game ideas from their internal studio's. And its by that token that Microsoft to me will always be considered second best. They don't have what it takes to be industry leaders at all.
