Crytek: No Crysis 2 This Year
8.11.2009 Gaming - PC / PcGamingGuru

Sorry, no Crysis 2 for you this year.

A post over on Crytek's official modding forum reveals that the company does not anticipate a release of Crysis 2 this year, reporting that Crytek currently has no official ship date schedule despite the game's estimated October 30 release. Serving as the first title built upon Crytek's new CryEngine 3 (and the developer's first console game), the game will appear on the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 when it eventually hits retail shelves.

“The development of Crysis 2 marks a major stepping stone for our studio,” said Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli back in June. “This is not only the next game in the Crysis franchise, it’s the first title we are developing for consoles and the first title being built on CryEngine 3. We are excited to have the support of EA Partners again as we work together to make the launch of Crysis 2 a huge event.”

Expect additional details to become available towards the end of the year.

Ubisoft may be headquartered in France, but the publisher has made its name on the back of its Canadian studios. Easily the publisher's largest in-house studio, Ubisoft Montreal's recent credits include Prince of Persia, Far Cry 2, and Assassin's Creed II. (It is also working on Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction, which was shown off at last month's Electronic Entertainment Expo.) Montreal is also the home of Hybride Technologies, the special effects studio behind such films as Legendary Pictures' 300 and Ubisoft's vehicle for becoming "a full media company."

The pricing has not been announced, but is rumored to be less than the price of a Wii. Prices lower than consoles f...

Dvorak A Genius? - In my opinion John Dvorak hit the nail on the head and built the entire house with one hit. I am so tired of all the different versions of Microsoft Windows. Microsoft would make so much more money if they sold Windows Desktop and Windows Server. My opinion is not because people are confused about what version to buy but more because the software industry doesn't need the...

Computer Hardware Chart - I have said it before, today's young techies just somehow aren't as educated as the previous generation.
