Crysis 2 Details

There's a Crysis 2 article on PCGames.de recapping a German IRC chat with the website's staff about Crysis 2 after their visit to Crytek to check out the upcoming shooter sequel and the updated version of its game engine. Taking advantage of Google Translate we can see the discussion includes word that an SDK is planned (though they aren't sure it will be delivered alongside the game), how the game is being developed for all three platforms simultaneously, their estimate that the single-player campaign will be 15-20 hours, how most of the game will be placed in New York City, NPC AI, vehicles, and more. They are also asked about multiplayer support, and say Crytek played it coy. Update: This story has been corrected, as it originally stated this was an interview with Crytek thanks to our shortcomings in reading German. Thanks SlamDunk for setting us straight.

What I dont get is why the multiplayer for it sucked balls so much, the lag/network code was horrendous and it just never really felt solid which was a shame bcus I enjoyed the SP alot.

As much as I enjoyed Crysis (far above the norm here I'd gather...), I'm still pissed at Crevat for his calling us all thieves.

I also didn't care for his whining about his unverifiable piracy rates. He claimed 20 to 1 pirated copies to purchased copies, which of course he never backed up with any hard data. The most I've ever found on torrent sites through research was about 4 million. (I did this by adding up all of the different torrents and their total downloaded numbers.) That's less than a 4 to 1 ratio, considering that Crysis sold somewhere between 1 million and 1.5 million based on EA's reported data. While that is still high, consider that many people jacked a warez copy just to see if the damn thing would run on their PC.

I can understand a developer being righteously pissed at watching something they worked hard on being taken without just compensation. What I can't understand is why that developer would throw a hissy fit and paint all gamers with a broad, insulting brush.

Having said all that, I am looking forward to Crysis 2, and if it isn't completely lobotomized for consoles I will definitely give it a look when it ships.

Right now, Crysis 2 has already been pirated, and cost Cevat money.
