Crysis Charges Forward on
IGN is a Q&A on the upcoming first-person shooter with Crytek CEO Cevat
Yerli: "The goal really is to ensure that all of the suit's functionality is
equally useful. Obviously in a heavy fight you might want to dial up the armor
but you could perhaps use strength instead and pickup a large fuel drum and
throw it into the enemy. Other options could include cloaking and using enhanced
speed to quickly flank around and taking out the enemy from behind. Watching
people play the game so far has proven that there a ton of creative ways in
which to take on the enemy. We have seen some pretty wacky things and approaches
that really show that there is never really ONE way to win."
They make an even bigger cartload of money on consoles, and OpenGL is not on the console technology stack. They want the least effort path and DirectX is that path (for XBox and PC's). PC's are an afterthought in games nowdays more and more, consoles being their primary market.
The other platforms wont ever take off without OpenGL on them thereby giving access to all 3 platforms BUT that wont include Consoles until they can get the API's onto that platform too.
Consoles is the main driver now and Microsoft owns that market with DX.
