EA and Crytek Announce new game:
Electronic Arts and Crytek today announced they will bring Crysis, a new first person shooter, to gamers worldwide. Developed by Crytek, the makers of the award-winning Far Cry, Crysis will be an original first person shooter game for PC based on new intellectual property.

"Our focus has always been on innovating gameplay and technology, and bringing new experiences to gamers through our original intellectual properties," says Cevat Yerli, CEO & President of Crytek. "Crysis will be a showcase for that commitment and will offer gamers from all over the world the next step in FPS gaming."

Shooter fans will face a new kind of gameplay challenge requiring adaptive tactics and customization of weapons and armor in dynamic, hostile environments as mankind struggles to survive in the face of a horrific alien invasion.Source (http://www.syncgaming.com/index.php?page=viewnews&id=3766).

Well, I don't like that idea.

[Scaryboy]

Aliens, dynamic hostile environments, brand new ip; What's not to love? ;)

[Taco]

If Crytek gets to keep the IP and control of their own studios I don't mind them using EA's hype machine.

That said.

Nurturing creative talent and bringing original intellectual property to the world of interactive entertainment is a key focus for EA and EA Partners.

I agree, EA brings massive amounts original intellectual property to the market and they never ever would suck the life out of a talented studio after one release.

Bi-Mon-Sci-Fi-Con!

Hrmm, another plat to PC port?

[MaiXu]

I love non-news like this. No offense to the submitter, they got as much news outta this thing as possible. But there was nary a scrap of information in that entire "article."

And I love the orgasmic happiness resident in every PR spokesperson: "We are delighted to reach the next level in our relationship with Crytek," says Tom Frisina, Vice-President and General Manager for EA Partners. I can almost *feel* the shit-eating grin on his face.

Aww! Did they make out in the back of EA's dad's truck after the prom?

[Klade]

Wow an alien invasion! that so original! I hope there is alien human experimentation followed by long boss battles where shoot the big red eye.

Watch it EA, you don't know where she's been.

Can we please stop all the petty Electronic Arts bashing? You EA-haters seem to forget that if it wasn't for EA you would probably still be playing tiddlywinks with your sister.

Electronic Arts invented videogames - try to remember that the next time you fire up Half-Life 2.

Psst -> Damn, that was harder than I thought!

[Taco]

My sister is kind of annoying.

[fitbabits]

My sister is kind of annoying.
And that's exactly why you should be thankful for Electronic Arts. I urge you to remember your sister the next time you entertain the notion of EA hate-speech.

They did? When? They were founded in 1982. Atari was around for a decade before they even came on to the scene.

Now, to say they helped create third party software as we know it, yeah, I can buy that. But that doesn't change the sucktitude of their current games, IMO.

It most certainly was. :)

[thecrazyd]

So I am not the only one who cannot tell when Fitbabits is being sarcastic. Although, I think the blacked out "I AM BEING SARCASTIC HERE GUYS" sort of gave it away this time.

Even with the "psst," I didn't really sense any sarcasm in his post. Remove the blackened text and that sounds like something a legit EA defender would say.

Believe me when I say that if you research some of my posts, you'll find what I really think about Electronic Arts! :)

Oh, and that's why the blacked-out text was there - to show that I was being sarcastic.

See, I'm trying! Short of writing THIS IS A SARCASTIC POST in neon pink at the start of my post, I'm not sure that I can do now. :confused:

[Cool AN]

It is kind of hard to figuree that out.

[Derella]

A new FPS? Revolutionary!

You need to be more over the top.

[fitbabits]

See, that's the reward right there - figuring it out for yourself. :)

[Kyle Jones]

Crytek is good guys, I hope they can keep up the creativity!

[Worldcrafter]

If it is as fun as Far Cry, then sign me up!

As for fitbabits, he tends to lean heavily towards sarcasm, so I just assume every time I read something out of character that he wrote, that it was intended as sarcasm. I think his use of :rolleyes: (which is even labeled as Sarcastic) is the best method of tagging your post as sarcasm. I'll demonstrate:

Most of what fitbabits writes is the god honest truth! :rolleyes:

Allow me to further demonstrate:

Worldcrafter is indeed that - a crafter of worlds. :rolleyes:

Yeah, Fitbabits is out of control.

From the guy who has 69 posts of the 256 in the Pet Peeves thread.

[Oblivion]

Fitbabits killed this thread and all I got was this stupid post.

[fitbabits]

But <sniff>, I didn't mean to <sniff> kill the thread. I'm so terribly sorry... :(

[TheKeck]

I still need to beat FarCry. Sigh.

[dead]

Sheesh, alien invasion... humans fighting to survive... sounds very very familiar. What i can't get my head around is why EA is so incapible of thinking of new ideas for games but instead making movie to game remakes and making the same game over and over again with little or no added substance.

[Busted_Astromech]

So....nobody's noticed one thing? Namely that Crytek has switched publishers?

Far Cry was an Ubisoft game. It was also Crytek's first game--and now they'll be eaten by the EA Borg.

WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING TO ME?!

[Sensei-X]

FarCry now Crysis, what's next, Crymson Arrow, Cryptic Passage, Cryspy French Fries?

[steve]

So....nobody's noticed one thing? Namely that Crytek has switched publishers?

That had happened some time ago (at least 1 year ago?), and was mentioned on the typical news sites.

[Busted_Astromech]

Oh...I guess I'm out of the loop, then.

WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING TO ME?!

[H.Bogard]

Wow an alien invasion! that so original!

Troll alert....

FarCry wasnt anything original either kiddo....yet it was fun as heck.

[Busted_Astromech]

Yeah, but it's an easy joke to make.
