Crysis 2…

Yerli also revealed that a Crysis movie is “definitely planned”. We’ll take a ‘wait and see’ approach for that one…

Following his discussion on the lessons learned from developing Far Cry and Crysis on CryENGINE and CryENGINE 2, he spoke about the changing face of game development.

“A Crysis movie is definitely planned,” said Yerli. “We are in active talks already. I think we will close this topic before the end of this year.”

On the next game: “I believe we will release our next game quicker than Crysis, so I estimate a two to three year cycle.”
“…Accordingly, the second part is not only the story of Koreans and aliens continue, but also graphically with numerous innovations. Special attention is given to the movements and facial textures and animations. This is an even more realistic feeling can be achieved. The declared aim is to be an adventure on film-level target…”
