  • Crysis 2

    a few weeks of work.

    Quote from Vilham

    adding a quick save to a PC version isn't as hard as your guys are making out, sure you have to make some decisions on what needs to be saved and what doesn't but that doesn't make it impossible to do

    Vilham, I live with one of gameplay coders. Save&Load is the most complex and bitch thing you can deal with in a video-game. It's sounds easy as fuck, all you need to do is save the current state of the game and the load it like it was... Right? WRONG. I think I'd risk it to say that half the bugs in games are caused from save&load problems. It's complex, and it's hard to implement and it generates a lot of problems.

  • Max Payne 3

    Quote from Thrik

    We'll see. But I'm not going to write it off just because of its setting. If I were in the habit of doing that I'd probably have never played Metal Gear Solid 3, which despite its wildly different Russian jungle setting after two games set primarily in confined indoor spaces and remote locations turned out to be pretty much the best in the entire series.

    Yeah, fantastic pointer there. MGS3 ended up being the best in the series for me despite it's setting being so different.

    It's just hard to imagine Max Payne during daylight time man...

  • Crysis 2

    Am I the only one who played Crysis here? Crysis is NOT sandbox, that's GTA, RDR and all that. Crysis is still a objective base linear game, it's just the environments are fairly big (For some levels, anyway).

    Crysis 2, the levels are much smaller but the style of game is more or less the same, just the theme is not jungle anymore.

    But then again, I worked on the game, and saw it growing in front of my own eyes so it's hard to tell what people was expecting exactly, I just never realized that some people were expecting a GTA5 to some extent.

    Crytek has prooven it can do jungles and islands better than anyone else, it was time to move on, and move on it did. Surely, it was a bumpy ride, loads of sweat and tears but I still think It's a Crytek game at heart.

    Obviously, some adaptations needed to be made, console market is a whole different market. And, it's where the MONEY is! Unfortunately, the times where you could focus on PC, top of the line tech and make money with it, is gone! You will never have exclusives AAA PC games anymore, simply because these take millions and millions of dollars to be made, and you're lucky if you sell 500 000 copies!

    Crytek is also known for tech, well, truth be told, it is a tech oriented company. But this time, the challenge wasn't grabbing a PC from the future and make a game for it, the challenge was grabbing a 5 year old box and make a game that runs on it AND make it look the best game out there. Now publishers will see CE3 runs on consoles and you can ship a game on it, they will start licensing the engine. That... is business, for the good or the worst.

    It's the socom guys, so basically this will be slower and more tactical L4D co-op style, within Resident Evil universe.

    I miss the good old resident evils man. I mean RE1 all the way up to 3. 4 was good but it was it's own game.

  • Max Payne 3

    Quote from Redfigure

    this, basically...

    remove the noir(seemingly), remove the devs, remove new york and remove max payne... eh...

    Yeah man... I almost consider this insulting, giving I actually started modding with Max Payne, and this shit is anything but Max Payne universe.

    Even the shitty movie they made had the mood nailed down, sorta.

  • MapCore Job Census

    Quote from channie

    Having left good ol' France for Montreal, Canada, I'm now joining Deus Ex 3 crew at Eidos. Fantastic team so far!

    That's great man! Congratulations! Make DX3 a worthy sequel!

    And yes... poke that lazy bastard!

  • Crysis 2

    On the topic of bashing. Well, I call it... the internets. Everyone's a douche behind the keyboard.

    This gaming community is made of mostly kids, and they are everywhere and they are loud. I can't read YouTube comments anymore, or GameTrailers, or any blog. People just insult themselves, troll, and simply bash on someone just because that someone has a different opinion. There's no such thing as respect or dialog. And this so called "fanboyism", I can't take it anymore, I'll just concentrate on making good and beautiful games, and stay away from that kind of environment. (I just hope to god MapCore doesn't turn for the worst too)

    Quote from Thrik

    Any recommendation about what difficulty to use as someone who was pretty good at Crysis 1? If it is relatively short and kind of easy to exploit at times I'd like to make sure I have a good challenge, although not one that's fun-ruiningly hard.

    I'm having fun with Soldier (2/4) difficulty setting on the XBox360. Almost finishing it, feels good to play it on your living room with proper sound set-up, sound makes all the difference!
