Cevat Yerli (founder, CEO and President of Crytek) comments on the graphics differences for Crysis 3 on the three platforms: PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
NoobFeed.com is glad to announce that FPS elite Crytek will be taking on the sequel to THQ's Homefront. Despite lesser reviews, the publisher is not letting its spirits down by enlisting some of the strongest men in shooter land.
Crytek, most famous for the game Crysis and creating one hell of an engine is upset with what could be future German laws. Germany is about to outlaw even the production of violent games, which would leave Crytek either two options: outscource or leave the country. The law isn't official yet as a petition is in the works to block it from ever becoming official.
Nothing huge to speak of this week, though a few things out of the ordinary have turned up, like Crysis: Maximum Edition, which houses the original Crysis, side-story Crysis Warhead, and the latter game's multiplayer mode Crysis Wars.
Besides that, Wii owners are treated to a remake of the solid platformer Klonoa: Door to Phantomile, and DS owners can experience the classic Jagged Alliance, a Fallout/Shadowrun-ish game which got its start on PC many years ago.
"Crytek has unveiled CryEngine 3 - not the next PC-exploding iteration of the tech, as the name would suggest, but an "all-in-one game development solution" for Xbox 360, PS3 and MMOs.
"CryEngine 3 is a revolutionary change from our previous PC-only engines," said Crytek CEO, Cevat Yerli of the engine. "CryEngine 3 will set the benchmark for complete game engine solutions in performance, and services to game engine licensees and their players.

"Crysis Wars has 21 multiplayer maps in total and three game modes. In addition to evaluating the game itself, the Wars free trial will allow you to see how well your computer runs the Crysis games. Sure, you could just download the Crysis demo for that, but playing online is a good stress test for your system."

"I spoke with Crysis franchise producer Bernd Diemer, who explained the history behind the machine. When we started working on Warhead, we decided performance was a big issue, he said. So we said, Guys, were going to build a PC which has a maximum price of six or seven hundred dollars, and it has to run Warhead in high spec at an average framerate of 30. We built that PCCrytek in the Budapest office [where Warhead was developed]and we put it in the middle of the studio, and every revie..."
