We Are Now One Step Closer To A Titanic Video Game

Dave Oshry — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 16:30:55 +0000

Back in 1997 when everyone was busy giving James Cameron Oscars and bestowing numerous awards upon “Titanic”, I was thinking, “Man, this would make a sweet ass video game!”

I’m kidding of course, but just in case at some point in your life you wanted to see what the Titanic would look like rendered with modern day gaming technology – some madmen have recreated the entire ship with CryEngine 3.

Forget curing disease, THIS is what our brightest minds should be working on!

This is What Skyrim Could (and Should) Look Like With Next Gen Tech

Dave Oshry — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 19:30:37 +0000

The last three games in Bethesda‘s flagship Elder Scrolls series have always pushed the boundaries of game visuals. This is especially true of Morrowind and Oblivion, but their latest open world role playing extravaganza, Skyrim, is no slouch either.

That being said, today’s PC gaming technology is roughly 10x more powerful than current gaming consoles. So, what could an already beautiful game like Skyrim look like if combined with next gen PC tech? Well, it would probably look something like this…

Minus the guns and nanosuits of course. ^__^

This video was made possible by combining the power of Crytek‘s CryEngine with an ‘Extreme Quality Mod’ and a custom map known as Hunter’s Life.

Now, watch that again (you know you want to) but this time imagine you can hear Todd Howard at the beginning saying, “Welcome to Elsweyr…”

Will the next Elder Scrolls game look this good? Will it look better?! Do you want to freeze yourself for five years just so you can wake up and find out?

Yeah… me too.

If you want to do this to your copy of Crysis and pretend you’re playing Elseweyr (in a nano suit) follow these links:

Behold Square’s Photorealistic New Game Tech (Video/Screens)

Dave Oshry — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 12:30:06 +0000

Looks as if Crytek may have some competition on the horizon.

Square Enix has detailed their new “Luminous” technology and has been kind enough to bestow some video and screens upon the world as well.

They’re going for maximum DX 11 realism and are pulling out all the stops to create lifelike environments. So far all we’ve seen are urban environments, but they do look quite “real” thus far.

Check out these comparison screens and video below:

Looking good… so far. Only time will tell what Square uses this engine for, but I’d like to throw out a Deus Ex 1 remake as a suggestion ^__^

Stay tuned to RipTen for continued coverage of Square Enix and their “Luminous” possibilities.

Crysis Finally Comes To Consoles on October 4th

Dave Oshry — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 06:30:24 +0000

It’s been a long time coming, but Crytek‘s legendary PC melting 2007 hit, Crysis, is finally coming to consoles.

On October 4th, you can get Crysis on PSN and XBL for $19.99 (1600 MS Points)

However, the game will not be an XBLA title (It’s too big, baby), it will be available on games on Demand - so look for it there.

Are you a console gamer who missed out on the original Crysis? Will you be picking up this sexy new tweaked CryEngine 3 version?

Original Crysis Gets Release Date on XBL and PSN

Chris Carlson — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 18:20:38 +0000

Just a short few weeks ago, EA came out of no where announcing the original Crysis for XBL and PSN. The games announcement wasn’t the big shocker, it was when EA stated the game would be available in October that caught people by surprise.

At that time, EA never said a specific date, but EA’s site reveals the game is coming a lot sooner than you think. Like, October 4th soon. Not even a full month since the announcement and you can experience the single player portion of the original Crysis on your console for $19.99 (1600 MSP). That is of course if your console can actually run it.

Homefront 2 Being Developed by Crytek

Justin Carter — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 15:58:00 +0000

Homefront, which was released earlier this year, wasn’t exactly the big hit of the spring season. It sold pretty well, but it received mixed reviews and after the closing of its development studio, many wondered who would pick up the pieces and continue the franchise… until now.

THQ has announced that none other than Crytek will develop Homefront 2. For what it’s worth, it does seem like a nice fit. Crysis 2 was a game about an American city under siege, and the original Crysis had North Koreans as antagonists.

“Selecting Crytek to take Homefront forward underscores our strategy of working with the industry’s best talent,”

Said Danny Bilson of THQ,

“Homefront’s unique setting and storyline captivated gamers the world over. With Crytek’s industry leading technology and legendary experience in the FPS genre, we’re supremely confident that the next Homefront will deliver that AAA-quality experience that players demand.”

Crytek boss Cervat Yerli seems to think so as well:

“We see Homefront as a really strong universe that has a lot of potential and that has been expertly created and marketed by THQ, We believe that bringing our level of quality, creativity and production values to the next Homefront title, creates an opportunity for both THQ and Crytek to deliver a truly blockbuster game. It’s really important to us that THQ has the faith in giving us a lot of creative freedom over one of its most important properties to allow us to bring the Homefront world to life in a new and innovative way.”

Very few details have been revealed at this time. The only thing we can really confirm is that it’s being developed by Crytek so it’s a safe bet the game will be frickin’ gorgeous. Of course, I don’t really get why THQ chose today of all days to reveal this bit of news. There’s something big happening right now.

Crysis Is “Not” An Xbox Live Arcade Title

Chris Carlson — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 20:00:13 +0000

Late last week, we reported that the single player portion of the original Crysis would make its way onto consoles sometime next month. However, it seems media outlets were confused by EA’s press release for some unknown reason and reported that Crysis would hit Xbox Live Arcade.

If you’re an Xbox gamer, you know there’s a big distinction between Xbox Live and Xbox Live Arcade. Xbox Live is a service, Xbox Live Arcade is a download section within said service. If you’re not an Xbox gamer, you’re probably wondering why the hell this even matters. So let me fill you in.

Microsoft has various download sections throughout their service. Xbox Live Arcade is dedicated to smaller, more affordable titles. Microsoft has also put a 2GB limit on arcade titles. If your title exceeds that limit, you’ll be upgraded to Xbox Live’s Games on Demand service.

Due to these limitations, this is why you’ll never see an arcade title larger than 2gb; priced above $15, or have more than 200G in achievements unless the title offers additional downloadable content. This is also why recently announced titles like Resident Evil 4 HD will be on Xbox Live’s Games on Demand service with a total of 1000G in achievements.

So, we reached out to EA for direct conformation seeing how many gamers were confused by the mixed media reports. EA made it clear that Crysis will not be an XBLA title in their email:

“This title is not an Xbox LIVE Arcade release, Crysis will be available on Xbox LIVE Games on Demand.”

So there you have it. Crysis will take full advantage of Xbox Live’s Games on Demand and offer a full 1000G for you achievement hunters out there.

Original Crysis Hits Xbox 360 and PS3 Next Month – Can You Run It?

Chris Carlson — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 11:08:39 +0000

Yes, you heard right. The original Crysis will be debuting on consoles with a very short notice of next month for Xbox 360 and PS3. Crytek has also introduced a few new features such as new lighting and effects.

The big question is, can your console run Crysis? Check out the debut trailer courtesy of GameTrailers. All footage from the trailer is currently being ran on the Xbox 360. I have to say, it looks pretty damn good. Not PC good, but still rather impressive considering the Xbox 360 is pushing its 6th year on the market.

Crytek Accused of Employee Mistreatment

Justin Carter — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 00:00:46 +0000

If there’s one thing it seems the video games industry is known for–you know, other than being connected to those murders, large breasts, bald space marines, and dragons–it’s the mistreatment of those that work in the industry. We saw it recently with the closure of LA Noire developer Team Bondi, who had some serious issues with Rockstar. Now we’re apparently seeing it again coming from everyone’s favorite Nanosuit creators Crytek as they come under fire via an anonymous account on Tumblr, of all places.

The account, cleverly named Hire and Fire, has a post regarding the mistreatment of employees that states employees suffered medically due to all the work, but gives little in the way of concrete details. Apparently, Crytek CEO Cervat Yerli was a serious bully to his subordinates. There’s also the mentioning of Crytek demanding six months of crunch time due to management failures, along with employees having no real reason for being fired, and others being fired just because they didn’t accept redundancy offers.

When interviewed by Develop about the allegations, Avni Yerli called them:

“Completely misleading. It is very disturbing for us to think that an individual thinks we have been treating them unfairly. It’s very disappointing.”

Stay tuned to RipTen as this story unfolds.

Cosplay Spotlight: Nomad (Crysis)

Stephanie Gutowski — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 01:02:35 +0000

Every now and then, I come across renders of armor or clothing in games that look incredibly cool, but impossible to fabricate in the real world without a team of scientists working around the clock to bend the laws of physics. The nanosuits from Crysis appeared to be one of those feats of fashion design, though I was fairly certain that it could be brought to life with years of effort and an impressive budget. Perhaps MasterLe247 knew of my doubts, because he promptly crushed them once I discovered his Cosplay page. Holy cow. After sifting through dozens of glorious Iron Man photos, I found this gem. Behold, Nomad made real.

Futuristic soldier is futuristic.

This is a hand-crafted nanosuit replica, made of high impact urethane and mesh. The ridges in the suit were hand-sewn and filled with foam. It even lights up and everyone knows that LEDs and armor are the most awesome things you can put on a costume. Well, maybe latex. I’m also partial to latex. The mere thought of having to sit down and do all of these details by hand is just staggering. I applaud his dedication and patience.

Is Crytek Working On A New Shooter IP?

Chris Carlson — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 02:00:34 +0000

A job listing from a current Crytek staff member reveals a new shooter IP is in the works. The LinkedIn profile of Gameplay/Animation Programmer David Ramos has revealed Crytek is apparently at work on a new IP for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC for the past year.

What’s even more interesting is somewhere in between August, 2008 and now. Ramos was working on a new third person shooter IP that was later canceled. ex-Technical Artist/Character TD, Dimitry Kachkovsk’s resume also revealed a title in production between May 2007, and December 2010 by the name of “Redemption”.

The game wasn’t listed as a third person shooter, but it was in development during the same time frame when Ramos was working on a third person shooter IP. I think you can put two and two together.

Crytek is crrently working on the Kinect title Ryse, which was formerly known as Codename Kingdoms.

Microsoft: “A Perfect Marriage” Crytek has “Fallen in Love” with Kinect

Garrett Hartman — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 14:44:48 +0000

How close of a relationship have Microsoft and Crytek developed during the development of Ryse? According to Microsoft’s Phil Spencer it’s a “perfect marriage” as Cryteck has “fallen in love” with Kinect.

Spencer claims Microsoft has looked into having Crytek as a first-party studio before. In a conversation with OXM he ellaborated.

“I do think it’s about quality and the relationship with Crytek is a perfect example. The first time we met with [Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli] and the team was around seven or eight years ago, and we started talking about what it’d mean for them to become first party.

“And it was a process of what do you guys want to do, what’s unique for us, and they were just going to do Crysis, and they’d just come out of Far Cry, and we said we’ve probably got enough military future shooters, so go do that.

“Then they came up with this idea around Ryse, and now they’ve really fallen in love with Kinect, and it’s a perfect marriage for us.”

Very few details about Ryse have been given at this point, but things will most likely change at Gamescom next month. In the meantime, enjoy the trailer below.

Behold Crysis 2 With Glorious DX 11 Upgrades!! (Video/Screens)

Dave Oshry — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 01:00:37 +0000

It’s been a long time coming, but damn does it look good. Crytek still has not redeemed themselves in the eyes of it’s once loyal PC gamer fanbase for originally releasing Crysis 2 as a DX9 title on PC, but at least they made sure to implement Direct X 11 support properly in Crysis 2.

Want further proof? Check out this video and slew of screens:

Still want more? I’ll be doing my own testing with my gaming rig and it’s GTX590 + 560ti GPU’s. Let’s see what you’ve got Crytek.

As far as I’m concerned, Crysis 2 was just released for PC. ^__^

Crysis 2 Direct X 11 Patch Finally Coming to PC (Screens)

Dave Oshry — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 20:34:29 +0000

Crysis 2 Decimation Map Pack Hits Online Stores

Bryce Wilson — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 20:08:31 +0000

If you’re still playing the forgotten shooter Crysis 2, you’ll be happy to know that EA has continued their post-launch content support with a second map pack including five maps and two new weapons.

After the Retaliation pack, EA and Crytek have now launched the Decimation pack that includes the following five levels:

5th Avenue

Chasm

Plaza

Prism

Apartments

Alongside the five new arenas is a new FY71 Assault Rifle, perfect for destroying masses of enemies, and a smoke grenade, a tool that will no doubt be used for covering large open areas and providing cover.

The Crysis 2 Decimation pack is now available for PC and Xbox 360 through their corresponding in-game stores and will ship for Playstation 3 on the 28th of June, 2011.

Crytek’s Ryse Announced – First Person Kinect Slasher

Garrett Hartman — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 17:55:23 +0000

Crytek has finally unveiled their Xbox 360 Exclusive title Ryse. Formerly known as project Kingdoms, Ryse will utilize Kinect for Hack and Slash first person action.

Not much detail was given but the game looked sharp and will make a great addition for any one looking for a serious kinect experience.

CryENGINE 3 To Power $57M U.S. Army Virtual Reality Training Technology

Murray Hibble — Sun, 29 May 2011 15:00:58 +0000

The US Army is investing in the world’s most expensive LAN-party by dropping $57 million into a Virtual Reality training program for its troops. Utilizing CryENGINE 3, the engine that powers Crysis 2, US troops will experience a high-fidelity battlefield representation that can be utilized for a wide variety of real-world military applications.

Here’s how it works, the US Army Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation has commissioned the VR unit project which is being led by Intelligent Decisions (a ‘technology solutions provider’) and in conjunction with Advanced Simulation Research, AVT Simulation, L-3 Link and RealTime Immersive. The unit itself is a ‘man-wearable’ high-end laptop (high end enough to spank anything CryENGINE throws at it) that feeds to a visor. Each soldier then moves around their own 10 foot square space and they’re linked in to a positional system to ensure their line-of-sight is concurrent with their squadmates.

“While the man wearable units aren’t running on an off-the-shelf Alienware, the internal components themselves are commercial off-the-shelf CPU’s and GPU’s like NVIDIA graphic cards and whatnot” – Floyd West, Director of Strategic Programs, Orlando Division of Intelligent Decisions.

The majority of the funds are understandably going towards the physical components of the techonology, including the most advanced motion-sensor apparatus in the world today.

“Kinect is not there yet, but it is getting closer. There are different types of camera-based systems out there in the market, but they’re not able to track a squad of four guys individually, which is what we do with our simulator.” – Floyd West.

Crytek‘s game-engine will bring an incredible amount of detail to life for the soldiers. With the graphical capabilities of the engine, light, particles and weather effects will offer a far greater sense of immersion than previous simulators. The simulator will also ship with the ability to mod missions within it so that troops can prepare for real operations based on actual terrain data and information rather than relying on satellites and HUMINT (‘guesswork’). Missions will be able to be planned and practiced with multiple runthroughs of single scenarios and it can only be assumed that randomness will be factored in to each run. Troopers will also get a score at the end of each session, even the poorest of which would make my shiny Battlefield 2 stats look like the meaningless numbers they are.

“…we’re able to transport soldiers to accurately recreated locales like Afghanistan and Iraq, where we can simulate everything from visuals to 360-degree sound.” – Floyd West.

Gamepro states that as a basic training tool, DSTS will come programmed with five basic rule sets; major combat operations, irregular warfare, peace operations, limited intervention and peacetime military engagement, as well as offense, defense, stability and civilian support.

The story doesn’t end here either. For years, many Armies have looked at battlefield positioning awareness systems (remember Metal Gear Solid 4?) with the desire to deliver a Ghost Recon-like ability for troops to identify threats and friendlies from any distance.

The first project I could find in the public domain was Canada’s Integrated Soldier System Project that seeks to wield individual troops as more of an armoured Hive-Mind. Featuring head-bourne mounts, tablet-PC battle management and navigation systems as well as all manner of high-tech weaponry (camera mounted weapons, micro-UAV’s) the idea is to have this system rolled out by 2020 allowing chain of command control over a body of troops who can instantly receive orders and threat assessments in the field.

Next up is the Virtual Squad Training System located at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii. This is virtually indistinguishable from the DSTS as troops have a head-mounted display and motion tracker, a load-bearing vest (to carry all the batteries), a body motion tracker and a wireless weapon controller that matches the specs of the real weapon. This is powered by their proprietary software and while it looks a little old-school, it also looks like a stack of fun.

It’s no surprise to any of us to see that gaming has real-world applications as military VR projects have been around for a long time. They’re cheaper to run and healing a failed mission is as simple as resetting. Current conflicts aside, the world is a dangerous place and people who join an active arm of the defense forces put their lives on the line for each and every one of us whether we feel the benefit of that sacrifice or not. Until the people of this planet start to get along, we’re always going to need soldiers… and anything that can help bring more of them home from the fight is a laudable and noble pursuit.

Let’s see this article out with another RealTime Immersive vid showcasing a submersible vehicle, a limpet mine and the very pretty CryENGINE 3:

Crysis 2: Where’s Our DX 11 Support?

Dave Oshry — Sun, 22 May 2011 18:24:18 +0000

The original Crysis was a graphical supernova. However, it was poorly optimized. Any PC that could actually run it at maximum settings and resolutions was surely able to destroy any other modern game released, both back then and even now.

Crysis: Warhead fixed the optimization issues, but still pushed DirectX 10 gaming to it’s limits while also allowing for full graphical customization options. Not only that, but it is still used as a benchmarking and performance tool to this day:

When Crysis 2 was announced back in 2009, I was beyond excited. Building upon established gameplay and adding a brave new locale in a ruined NYC, it was a sure fire recipe for success. Oh, and don’t forget the winning graphics Crytek had become known for, either.

Fast forward to 2011 and the reality is so far from the dream we were promised that it nearly makes us weep.

You've Crashed a Helicopter Into My Heart, Crytek

Sure, Crysis 2 is a magnificent looking PC game, but it still only supports Direct X 9 and therefore does not come anywhere close to looking as good as it can or pushing any of our PC’s to their limits. Graphically, it’s a shallow visual experience when compared to games like Metro 2033 which take full advantage of Direct X 11 features like extreme tessellation and PhysX. Hell, even as far as DX 9 goes, it certainly does not stand up to The Witcher 2.

As you can see in the following gameplay video we made for our Nvidia GTX 590 review, Crysis 2 looks great and is capable of amazing FPS during gameplay, but that’s only because it is barely pushing our rig to any sort of limit. It’s disheartening to play a game like Crysis 2 and see features we’ve come to expect like PhysX missing. When I play a high end FPS on a PC, I want windows and concrete to shatter and bounce when shot, I want flags and clothing to sway realistically in the breeze, I want dynamic shadows and real reflections, I want a Crytek game. Crysis 2 excels in terms of gameplay and is great fun as a tactically open FPS, but graphically? It doesn’t do it for us PC gamers who spend thousands of dollars on our gaming rigs to create a truly superior experience to what is currently available on gaming consoles.

It was rumored towards the end of the development and release cycle that Crysis 2 would NOT be shipping with support for DirectX 11. Fans of the original and PC enthusiasts were pissed off, and rightfully so.

However all was not lost, as Crytek came out saying that they would soon be patching DX 11 support into the game… Well they said that, anyway.

Nearly three months into the life cycle of the game, we’ve seen a map-pack released, and yet no support or even a hint of a patch that was promised months ago, and confirmed in April.

It Makes Us Feel... Empty.

To really top it all off, Crytek recently announced they’d be releasing the Crysis 2 Editor, so they obviously have a team working on supporting the PC side of things.

We’ve asked Crytek and Nvidia numerous times about DX 11 suuport for Crysis 2, but usually the only answer we get is, “Soon”

As silly as that is, it’s not really funny anymore. It’s too little, too late. We’re not mad, we’re not sad, we’re just… disappointed.

/sigh
