Nathan Camarillo Interview Part 2 - GamerZine

GZ: One of the biggest complaints with the original Crysis was that infamous anti-gravity section towards the end of the game. Has that returned in any way?

NC: I don't know if anyone is really looking forward to the anti-gravity sections and we took all those criticisms very seriously. If it wasn't well received in the original then you can imagine it won't be in Crysis 2. I don't think anyone would pass on Crysis 2 if we didn't put that anti-gravity bit in there. It was definitely very well criticised internally and externally.

GZ: It was one of those things where the rest of the game was absolutely incredible, but obviously these are the sorts of things PC players really want to know...

NC: They are quite worried and they don't need to be. I see the game every day and they'll have to trust me.

GZ: One of our favourite activities in Crysis was launching chickens into orbit with super strength switched on (sorry PETA), is there anything anywhere near as cool as that in the sequel?

NC: (laughs) Well, when you pick up a guy and throw him out a window, you can actually switch to strength, throw him way up into the air and shoot him with a shotgun on the way down, which is just one of many awesome moments. Another one is the ability to grab lampposts and run up and beat on guys. There's one thing I do in the office when I want to show off - I look up in the air, throw the post up into the air, catch it and then beat a guy with it.

No-one requires you to do this, it isn't an objective or part of the level's mission but we just have fun doing it. It's like I wonder if I can throw it up like a baton twirler? Oh yes I can and it feels awesome!

GZ: That's feeling of freedom to do whatever you want is definitely central to Crysis. You must relish watching YouTube and seeing all the clips of the original game.

NC: Absolutely, absolutely. Even the mods people have done, there's one which I loved where some of the main characters in the story have been replaced with chickens. So there's one part where the player breaks into the school, to save the girl and there's a chicken in there. Then a support character says, "C'mon let's get this girl out of here!" and they carry her out.

We just laugh at stuff like that, some of our fans do the coolest things. They probably don't realise, but sometimes we sit in the big meeting room, twenty of us, we have our product director in and we show him what the community has done. It's really cool, I hope they continue to do stuff like that because we all get a huge kick out of it and we really appreciate it.

There's something incredibly powerful about the imagery of New York City thrown into chaos. Comics and films of recent years (from J. J. Abrams' Cloverfield to Brian Wood's DMZ) have explored the notion to great effect, and in both cases you get the feeling that it's not just New York's status as arguably the most iconic city in the world that makes the depicted scenes so palpable. After all, scenes of terror and chaos in New York have been indelibly scribed on peoples' minds ever since 9/11 - a day so unbelievable that footage of it still feels eerily like watching fiction nearly nine years later. Similarly to Cloverfield and DMZ then, Crysis 2 will also use this collective sense of fear and disbelief among the world's populace to buoy the setting of its long awaited and much anticipated Crysis sequel.

Unless you don't already know or hadn't guessed, aliens have invaded and infested New York City in Crysis 2. It's three years after the events of Crysis 1 and Crysis Warhead (where the same alien race turned a Pacific island into something resembling the Himalayas) and now these aliens are back to turn Manhattan into their own personal hive. In terms of location, given that Crysis simply took the same tropical setting as Far Cry and then added the occasional dash of arctic weather via the game's plot, then Crysis 2 takes on a whole new tack. It's not the only new direction for the game's developer either, as this is also the first time that Frankfurt-based outfit, Crytek will be making the jump to consoles.

Following the beating that Crysis 1 took from PC piracy, Crytek has since built its new engine (CryEngine 3) primarily around multi-platform development, even though previously the studio had been specifically tuned to the super-hardcore PC market. Indeed, it's testament to the original Crysis that it's still used to benchmark newly released PC graphics cards (although its prominence in this area has admittedly diminished with the advent of DX11). Having now seen the sequel firsthand, we can say with very little doubt that it will set the benchmark for graphics in gaming once again, as both Far Cry and Crysis did before it.

But graphics have never been a worry where Crytek is concerned - the reasons why we scored Crysis 8/10 back in 2007 were because of its lacklustre gameplay in the final act and an overall formula that stuck a little too closely to Far Cry for our liking. One of the more original concepts to come from the game was its Nanosuit though, which Crytek is thankfully sticking to like glue in this sequel, but not without a substantial amount of tweaking and balancing to perfect the formula. Thanks to some extensive focus group work with the original Crysis, Crytek has identified three different types of approach to the Nanosuit.

Some gamers apparently play predatorily with the suit, toying with enemies by sneaking up on them to within an inch of their nose (using the stealthy cloak power), melee attacking them, and then sprinting off using the speed power to get away from the scene quickly and avoid raising too much suspicion. Other gamers favour a long-range strategy, using the binoculars to pick out enemies and then snipe them from a distance, while all the while retaining the stealth power to keep them concealed. Finally, a third type of gamer plays the 'action hero' role by using the Nanosuit's strength power for brutal melee attacks and its armour power for a healthy dose of close-quarters gunplay to take out enemies Hollywood-style.

All of this has been taken into account in the sequel, which has allowed Crytek's developers to fine-tune the suit so that it will allow users to maximise their particular tendencies in combat. For example, while the first game's customisation options were limited to guns and merely allowed users to add the odd scope, silencer, or laser sight to their weapon, Crysis 2 will open up customisation options for the Nanosuit. In other words, if you play the game predatorily then you'll be able to upgrade the cloak and speed powers as the game progresses to suit your gaming style. 'Action hero' gamers, on the other hand, can spend their upgrade points on strength and armour if they so wish.

While this focus on customisation does mean that there won't be any new powers for the Nanosuit in Crysis 2, it's certainly reassuring to know that we're going to get a deeper experience with the suit in this sequel. Simply adding a new power just for the sake of it could seem a little tacked-on, while a more user-defined experience of the gameplay through the suit is exactly the sort of improvement we've come to expect of Crytek. After all, the developer made its name by pioneering FPS gameplay that allows gamers to attack a set-piece as they see fit, so allowing gamers to tweak gameplay features is surely the next logical step.

It's not only the new and improved Nanosuit that's to expand on Crytek's trademark though, as the location itself also appears to lend itself to a different type of open gameplay. The developer has been quick to emphasise the different type of jungle that Crysis 2 is set in (an 'urban jungle' no less), and the 'verticality' that this will bring to the experience. Only seconds into our first look demo, this became plainly evident. Nomad, Crysis' returning protagonist, jumped from what must've been the 50th story of a skyscraper at least, and then let himself glide for roughly 30 stories, before landing back on a lower ledge of the building at around the 20th story. With the armour power on, this naturally left a huge crack in the ledge even though Nomad was left unscathed.

Then, after spotting a series of 'Crynet' enemies patrolling the roof of a building across the block using his binoculars, Nomad took out a couple of soldiers with his sniper rifle. Setting his Nanosuit to 'strength', he jumped between the buildings, using his armour power again to ease the landing on the other side. After quickly turning to the suit's cloak ability, Nomad set about finishing off the remaining enemies with close-quarter stealth melee kills. Clearly, this was Crytek's way of demonstrating how the predator, action hero, and long-range archetypes can all fit into a plan of attack in Crysis 2. All we'll say is that it was a thoroughly convincing display.

It's not only the promises of a deep customisation system for the Nanosuit that makes Crysis 2 such an exciting prospect. More importantly, the game's setting takes Crytek into uncharted waters for the first time in its 10-year history. To go from island archipelagos to a near photo-realistic depiction of New York City is one bold step but, if any developer can do it, Crytek can.

Crysis 2 Preview

First, a combined disclaimer and confession – when we got a chance to see Crysis 2 recently and sat down for a quick chat with Executive Producer Nathan Camarillo, it wasn’t running on a PC. Instead, we saw Crysis 2 demonstrated on an Xbox 360. This is a fact which immediately demonstrates what is to many people the most interesting thing about Crysis 2: it runs on a console.

Disappointingly, at least for those of you who want to hear horror stories about how broken the console version of the game is and how Crytek is going to painfully learn that it never should have left the PC, Crysis 2 seems to run fine on the Xbox 360.

There are caveats, and ‘fine’ is a relative term, obviously. The game is never going to look as great on a console as it could on a PC, mods may be out of the question, and a gamepad is always going to play second fiddle to a mouse, but it’s fine. Really. If you don’t have a PC which is up to spec then, I’m sorry to say, the console version of the game may do the job.

More interesting than the technical and financially motivated changes to Crytek’s latest game are the numerous changes that have been wrought upon the gameplay – some of which potentially pull back the curtain on why Crytek’s games are the way they are. That is to say pretty and playable, but with some obvious flaws – we’ve never heard anyone speak fondly of Far Cry’s Trigens or Crysis’ aliens, for example.

“We didn’t fully realise how players would use the Nanosuit abilities,” said Crytek’s Nathan Camarillo in preface to his demonstration, going on to outline how gamers would create their own styles of gameplay that they would adhere to strictly.

“Some players, for example, would use the Stealth and Strength powers to create hit and run tactics – like Predators. Others would use Stealth and customised weapons to become the ultimate hitman. What we didn’t anticipate about that was that players set their own failure scenarios… They’d reload [the game] if they got spotted, not if they died, so breaking the style was their failure scenario.”

According to Camarillo, it was only after Crysis’ release that Crytek cottoned onto this fact and saw that the Nanosuit abilities players had at their disposal weren’t as brilliantly balanced as they could be. Simple things, such as having to switch between Maximum Speed and Maximum Strength to execute long jumps, broke the flow and snapped players out of the style. It was the first thing Crytek sought to change in Crysis 2, minimising the number of separate abilities and combining them into modes for dedicated play styles.

In anticipation of the reaction to that news, Camarillo was quick to stress that these changes have been borne out of feedback from the PC version of the game, and not just because console controllers have fewer buttons than a keyboard and mouse.

Whatever the inspiration or motivation, there’s no getting away from the fact that the game seems to have been improved by the changes. Stuffing together the speed and invisibility options of the Nanosuit into a new Maximum Stealth mode definitely enables more player autonomy than it destroys and, at the very least, means there’s less fiddling to be done with the various modes.

Crysis 2 Impressions

Crysis’ iconic nanosuit has undergone a bunch of other changes too, not just a streamlining of its powers and abilities. Three years have passed in the space between Crysis and Crysis 2, during which a new, modular Nanosuit has been created – one which can be customised in the same way as weapons could be in the first game. New functions and improvements can be collected throughout, then added on to your armour as you progress.

Unfortunately, we didn’t get a chance to see the new suit add-ons in action, but Camarillo made mention of a few different possibilities – stealth enhancements to reduce footstep noise, x-ray eyes and improvements to walking speed were all dropped into the conversation at one point or another.

The most immediately obvious change to Crysis 2 isn’t the tweaks to the nanosuit or attached powers though, it’s the change in setting. You’d be hard pushed not to notice that Crysis 2 abandons the swaying palm trees and pristine beaches of the original in favour of New York’s grey vistas and grotty skyline.

Again, while it’s easy to presume that the change in setting was bought about by the limitations of modern consoles (grey blocky skyscrapers are much easier to model than tropical jungle), Camarillo was quick to counter that thought. In fact, he turned confessional once more and revealed that the alteration was borne out of a weakness with the first Crysis.

“Nobody cared about those islands,” he claimed, outlining how Crytek wanted the Crysis series to be visually striking, cinematic and profound – something that’s easier to achieve with known landmarks. Watching palm trees be uprooted doesn’t have the same impact as seeing a hole blasted through the Empire State Building, reckons Camarillo.

Crytek has sought to make the most of new locale too and hasn’t stuck to just office blocks and smoke-filled streets. Verticality is a major feature in Crysis 2’s combats, with the nanosuit allowing you to hop between rooftops on occasion and survive a plummet to ground level if you’ve got a hankering for floor-based fisticuffs. Personally, we prefer the idea of rooftop sniping, but to each their own. Camarillo’s demonstration had him mixing and matching styles to suit; taking out snipers by hand, weaving across balconies with an assault rifle and finally sniping the infantry who marched far below. Nice.

The move to New York is easily one of the things we most like about Crysis 2, with the environments proving suitably desolate and decimated by the alien invasion, weaving an apocalyptic bleakness into the mix, which contrasts wonderfully with the bright background of the original game. Watching street battles being fought back and forth amongst well-known landmarks may not have left us feeling the sense of breathless awe that Camarillo claims Crytek is aiming for, but it was striking. Specifically, it reminded us of the closing battles in Children of Men, or Half-Life 2’s later chapters.

It has to be said though that, while Crysis 2 certainly looks to be a competent and good-looking shooter, we still have our concerns. For starters, those who are graphically obsessed would do well to know that, while Crysis 2 looks good on consoles, it’s also not the best title we’ve seen on that front. Maybe there’s more unveiling to come, and maybe there are some tricks we haven’t seen – but we didn’t look at Crysis 2 and think that it would blow the likes of God of War out of the water.

Our bigger worry is whether Crytek can really learn and demonstrate the finesse that has notably lacked from previous titles. Say what you will, but it’s somewhat proven that Crytek makes great graphics engines, but mediocre games. We’re definitely excited about Crysis 2, but we’ve yet to see anything that shows Crytek is going to exceed expectations.

Und das nächste Interview:

http://www.atomicgamer.com/articles/...is-2-interview

Spoiler Text:

AtomicGamer: Crysis was notorious for its demanding system requirements. How did this affect the design philosophy for creating the sequel, especially given that it's multi-platform?

Nathan Camarillo: The original Crysis had this stigma of players needing a monster machine to play it...and that it'd probably catch on fire. That wasn't entirely true though; you could play it and enjoy it, but maybe you couldn't turn it all the way up to 11. But that was still the stigma that sort of followed Crytek, and that's something we're definitely trying to shake. I wouldn't say that console development is difficult, but it has forced us to reexamine how we do things; we now have to solve problems with more finesse than force. And we're finding ways to push the consoles in more ways than other developers have. After Crysis, Cevat's (Cevat Yerli, CEO and President of Crytek) goal was to get Crytek's games out to more people, a bigger audience, and get CryENGINE technology on consoles. That's what we've been able to do with CryENGINE 3...find a way to not only make the technology scalable, but also accessible. From a design point of view, it also forces us to focus on what's important to the core of Crysis; we want it to be more accessible, but we don't want to nerf anything either. If anything, we have even more features than the original game, but they're smarter in the way that they're implemented. The way the user interfaces with these features is also much cleaner. We're thinking in much broader terms, and everything's under a microscope.

AG: Can Xbox 360 and PS3 owners expect the same Crysis 2 experience than owners of tweaked PC rigs?

NC: There might be some minor differentiation in console versus PC, but our goal is to deliver the best experience possible on each respective platform. If you're playing PC, you'll get the best PC gaming experience you can; if you're playing console, you're going to get the best possible experience for that platform. There may be differences, but no one should feel robbed or cheated. We'll deliver the best experience to all players, and certainly the core game will be the same.

AG: For many gamers this will be their first exposure to the Crysis series. Taking that into account, is the sequel serving as sort of a fresh start for the franchise?

NC: We are looking at Crysis 2 as a reboot of the franchise. Not so much in the story, as there will be some narrative continuity between the first and second game, but it'll definitely serve as a jumping in point for new players. The story is a continuation to some extent, but you won't need to know what happened in Crysis in order to get into it. We're not completely changing things in, say, the way the Grand Theft Auto titles change from game to game, but aside from core ideas, like the Nanosuit, you're getting a fresh start. If you like a shooter that offers these awesomee powers, systemic gameplay, and a path that's not heavily scripted, you'll enjoy Crysis 2. And if you have not played the first game, we think the sequel may inspire you to go back and check it out.

AG: The New York City environment seems to hold much more potential for vertical gameplay than Crysis' flatter landscapes. Will the game be taking advantage of this?

NC: Yes, Crysis was mostly valleys and rocks. In the sequel, you won't be able to go into every single office building...that's just not that interesting. But you will see opportunities where, with the suit powers, you'll wonder if you can get to certain areas, and you'll probably be able to. As we did with Crysis, we use this “I came, I saw, I conquered” gameplay, so it's about reaching areas, assessing the situation, then engaging and trying to survive. You'll see that by scaling this new landscape, you can discover new tactical advantages. Our new alien A.I., which is really smart, will require you to utilize this type of strategy; they'll be using the vertical environment as well in very interesting ways.

AG: How accurate will Crysis 2's New York City be?

NC: Well, without spoiling the story, we do want it to be identifiable, so you can imagine we'll be including some of the hot spots and landmarks. It's authentic to an extent, but we've also taken some liberties. The player should feel like it's New York, but we also want to do what's best for gameplay, so we do fudge some of the spaces. Generally it is authentic though, and we want the spacing of objects to be accurate and the architecture to be identical, or at least very close. It'll definitely feel like New York, but we also lend our own take and visual style to set us apart.

Noch ein paar Infos aus dem Szene :

-Man wird einen anderen Charakter spielen, wurde von Cervat bestätigt!
-Es werden nur einige Gebäude begehbar sein, weil es laut Crytek recht langweilig wird bei einem 50 Stockwerken hohen Haus in jedes Stockwerk zu können. Dafür kann man aber schon 2 Stockwerke hoch springen.
-Der Nanosuit ist modifiziertbar , wie die Waffen, auch in jeder Spielsituation.
-Das Alienvieh, welches man im E3 Teaser sehen kann ist einer der Endbosse ( sorry randfee)

So hier mal alle Waffen aus GT TV in einem Post. Sry Screens sind nen bischen komisch. Aber immerhin etwas. ;)

E3 2010: Crysis 2 Preview

We play Crysis 2 and see its newest trick: 3D.

EA and Crytek actually showed us Crysis 2 a few months ago, if you'll recall, where they debuted its urban relocation to New York, along with its streamlined nano-suit options. Perhaps most surprisingly, Crytek also chose to show press the game on the Xbox 360 rather than PC. At this year's E3, Crytek has the same demo on hand, but press are finally getting the chance to play the game, and also to see its just announced debut in 3D.

After spending some time playing Crysis 2, the most striking difference from the first game is the overwhelming verticality on display. Where the first game largely involved large horizontal spaces in which to engage enemies with the nano-suit's various abilities, Crysis 2 appears to be predicated on death from above – whether you're dishing it out or avoiding it.

My demo started in the now familiar highrise corridor with a blown out wall, ostensibly sheared open by a crashing vehicle or alien weapon. Looking down onto the city below is dizzying; there's a real sense of physical space in Crysis 2 that didn't seem as evident in the crowded jungle environments of the first game, and looking 30 stories down inspired a bit of unexpected vertigo.

The possibility for Crysis 2 to play as a more thoughtful shooter was present in the ability to reconnoiter enemy posts in the nano-suit's new tactical mode, but at this point, it's hard to fully grasp exactly how encounters in Crysis 2 will evolve from last time. Enemies act similarly to the Korean soldiers from Crysis, though they seem much easier to kill now (even though all the soldiers I encountered were wearing off-brand nano-suit knockoffs), which is nice, but there wasn't enough combat to get a feel for the AI. From my brief time with the game, the dual tactics/dual suit modes juxtaposition was a bit disorienting, but I'm reasonably confident that this will become second nature after more time with the game.

After taking out a number of nano-suited PMCs, I was captured and locked down in a helicopter. After a moment of flight though, a number of alien… somethings attacked and knocked the helicopter out of the air, forcing me to fight them on the ground. While fighting the new alien enemies was more interesting than the assorted PMC troops from the first section of the demo, there were some weird AI hiccups present that lead me to believe that Crytek is still working out the kinks in enemy behavior.

Of course, the biggest question on everyone's mind is how the notorious PC benchmarking juggernaut looks in its transition to console, and the news is mostly good. Image quality is excellent. As mentioned before, there's a great sense of physical space in Crysis 2, which is largely because of great lighting and color correction, as well as the particle effects from smoke and destructible environments and well implemented motion blur. That being said, the game still looks a ways off from release; there are a number of textures that look like placeholder assets and the framerate is all over the place. The sound design is coming along nicely however, with strong gun feedback that compares favorably to games like Bad Company 2.

Crysis in 3D is… well, it's still Crysis. In 3D. I don't mean to sound reductive; I was impressed with some of the tricks Crytek displayed to make the 3D version of the game more immersive, including layering and subtle movement of the HUD over the game world, and the sense of verticality and height in particular were heightened by the effect. Meanwhile, there was no perceivable performance decrease with 3D mode active, and perhaps more surprisingly to some, this was all running with no issues at all on the Xbox 360, a quiet refutation of Sony's nascent push to lay claim to the technology in the public conscience.

But – of course there's a but – 3D didn't make the game better, really. It's the same game, and Crytek doesn't appear to be making the mistake of designing heavily around the 3D element. While it's a neat addition, I haven't yet seen anything to convince me to buy into the required ancillary hardware, be it a new TV and/or active shutter glasses (though Crytek has been kind enough to announce support for the three current forms of 3D tech, and my demo used passive polarized glasses similar to those used for 3D screenings of last year's Avatar). And for some players, it actually made the game worse, as the 3D made a number of members of the games press nauseous, including our own Hilary Goldstein.

Regardless, my time with Crysis 2 only has me more interested in the game. After years of promises, Crytek has finally put its money where its mouth is with a playable, good-looking console Crysis game, and given how much more time they have before Crysis 2 ships late this year, all signs indicate that it should be able to more than hold its own with the other big shooters regardless of platform.

Ein Auto, welches nurnoch zur Hälfte auf der Straße hängt wird vom Spieler im Stärke-Modus heruntergetreten. Blaue flackernde Alien-Geschosse erhellen den Nachthimmel und schlagen in Gebäude ein. Mehrere Etagen brennen. Der Spieler läuft weiter und demonstriert das (meiner Meinung nach) super funktionierende vertikale Gameplay. Er klettert über abgestürtzte und herunterhängende Gebäudeteile in den (geschätzten) 3. Stock und läuft im Gebäude weiter, während er weiter mit zufällig auftauchenden Aliens kämpft. Sehr stimmige Szenen.

Nice interview; he's mentioned that the player is going to have multiple routs to take. And he confirmed that the controls have been simplified, there's armor and stealth now, as these two modes were the main modes in Crysis 1. According to him, it helps the game a lot. As release date he's mentioned autumn 2010.

It's refreshing to listen to somebody else than Cevat and Nathan; who're saying the same all over again. Anyway, I hope I'll hear more from this guy =).

Neue Details zu Crysis 2: Crytek-Boss Cevat Yerli hat im Zuge eines Video-Interviews den Hauptheld aus Crysis 2 enthüllt. Demnach schlüpfen Spieler im Ende des Jahres für PS3, Xbox 360 und PC erscheinenden Ego-Shooter in die Haut von Soldat Alcatraz, der mit aufgemotztem Nanosuit 2.0 ausgestattet Aliens in die Flucht schlagen soll. Crysis 2 spielt rund drei Jahre nach den Geschehnissen in Crysis 1, etwas genauer: 2023. Außerirdische Lebensformen haben sich in New York niedergelassen und nebenbei so ziemlich alles in Schutt und Asche gelegt. Neben ganz neuen Spielcharakteren sollen in Crysis 2 auch einige alte Bekannte wie beispielsweise Prophet zum Einsatz kommen. Weitere Informationen zu den Crysis-2-Charakteren hat Cevat im besagten Video-Interview, das wir Ihnen unten bereitstellen, jedoch noch nicht verraten.

Crysis 2 verfügt über “angenehmeres” 3D als Killzone 3, sagt Yerli

Zitat:

---

Cryteks Cevat Yerli hat in einem Interview erwähnt, dass “Crysis 2″ den Spielern womöglich eine angenehmere 3D-Erfahrung als Sonys “Killzone 3″ bieten wird. Er habe zwar noch keinen direkten Vergleich gesehen, aber er hörte es von verschiedenen Leuten. Ein möglicher Grund: Der im Crytek-Shooter verwendete konkave 3D-Effekt lässt keine Objekte aus dem Bildschirm herauskommen.
“Ich habe von unzähligen Leuten gehört - und ich habe es auch selbst gesehen - dass wir eine bessere 3D-Erfahrung als andere derzeit zu sehende Spiele bieten”, so Yerli gegenüber Videogamer. “Ich möchte aber keine Namen nennen.”
Bezugnehmend auf “Killzone 3″ sagte Yerli weiter, dass er den Titel zwar noch nicht in 3D gesehen habe, aber von anderen Leuten hörte, dass “Crysis 2″ “sehr viel angenehmer” aussieht.
“Ich denke, es ist eine angenehmere Erfahrung. Die Leute sagen, es sei sogar sehr viel angenehmer und einfacher für die Augen - und es hat mehr Tiefe. Ich habe Killzone noch nicht [in 3D] gesehen, um ehrlich zu sein. Ich wünschte, ich könnte einen Blick darauf werfen, aber sie lassen mich nicht.”

Crysis 2 : 3D Modus soll nur 1-2% Rechenleistung schlucken

Zitat:

---

Some have suggested that the visuals of 3D-enabled games will suffer as a result of hardware strains.
The perceived wisdom is that to output in 3D, games render frames twice - an affect then translated into 3D by special glasses worn by gamers.
German developer Crytek, however, has achieved its 3D effect for upcoming multiplatform shooter Crysis 2 in a way that hardly impacts on performance.
"You will laugh now," CEO and founder Cevat Yerli told VideoGamer.com. "Our impact is 1.5 per cent. You play 2D or 3D, you have no difference. It's pretty much for free. People, when they ask how, I say it's our little magic.
"That's why we also can do it on 360. That's the ironic part of it. In a funny way, people banked their investment on PS3 or on other 3D solutions, thinking the 360 can not do it. I'm saying, well, we've proven it. Whenever we show 3D, we show it intentionally on 360 to make the point. It works. It works flawless on PS3, 360 and PC as well. It just works; and one-and-a-half per cent impact only. Out of 30 frames it's 0.4 frames. So you don't notice it. That's what I want to say."
While Yerli refused to discuss exactly how Crytek's "magic" 3D technology achieves such results, he did reveal one interesting titbit:
"I use the term 'for free', with this game. It's so negligible. And people ask, how do you do it? I say, well, we do render only once. That isn't magic. But we create a second image out of the first one. But how we do it is the magic. That's the secret sauce. I'm happy that we figured it out!
"Believe me, at that point, everybody was so happy, because we knew that we would be the first game running on all platforms in 3D. That's awesome. And it's from the beginning until the end, one hundred percent in 3D. Which also, I think, other 3D games are not, because they're choosing the different way of doing it, or the normal known way of doing it. Because we use it our way, our pipeline is cheaper; our work flow is cheaper. Others have to… oh no, if we switch to 3D, we have to render it twice, or we need to do this and this. They freak out."
There's more from the outspoken Yerli, as well as a host of other developers, over at our special 3D Gaming feature.
Crysis 2 is due out this autumn.

AI:

Zitat:

---

So how will the Crysis 2 AI fit into this matrix of demands? Camarillo suggests that it's all about reading each player and responding to their actions proportionately. So AI enemies will know which weapon you're pointing at them and will react differently depending on perceived threat. They'll know how stable their cover is – so you won't get them congregating behind a vehicle that's about to explode. They also have patrol routines and check-ins, so even if you go in cloaked and take out a lone soldier, the rest will eventually notice he's missing and investigate the area. Also, if they discover the player, they'll make dynamic decisions on how much back-up to call in. If you've just clipped one of their guys in the shoulder, they might ask for a couple more men; if you've slaughtered two or three of them, they'll request the attack chopper. "As the player makes decisions in the gameplay spaces, you can expect the game to push back in similar ways," Camarillo says with a smile. He also mentions that the alien enemies will use the environment like a human player, jumping from building to building, leaping on to objects and vehicles, exploiting the possibilities in the same way we do

The story. "At the end of Crysis there were some unresolved plot threads, and we're going to tie those together," Camarillo says. "There are threads about your character, about the backstory … and through some supplemental material that we'll release, we really want to tie the two games together in a very strong way. It's not a prerequisite to play Crysis in order to play Crysis 2. In fact, we hope we'll inspire more people to go back and play Crysis in the context of what the Crysis 2 story reveals to gamers.

On the crowded floor of EA’s behemoth booth at E3 2010, there stood a line that awaited patiently to see something special behind closed doors. Above those doors were copious “best of” awards from various publications. To the side, a decal—a soldier in a familiar nanosuit engaged in combat. This was the line for the demonstration of Crysis 2.

Upon queuing up, I squealed on the inside like a child in line to see Santa. Not only was I about to see the sequel to one of the best looking video games of all time, but we were going to be shown a real-time demonstration of the game on the PC platform. Of all of the media that has been released for Crysis 2 thus far, it has all been run on either the Xbox 360 or PS3 platforms. It was time to finally see what the PC version was visually capable of.

The demo we were shown was a short sequence from the now infamous Times Square portion of the game. New York lies in complete shambles as war is waged in all directions. The player, assuming the role of Nomad once more, is fighting humans and aliens alike in the burned out streets of the Big Apple. The action is intense and chaotic—attacks come from side alleys, from the air, from inside of buildings—it is total war. It didn’t take long to realize that Crysis 2 is a completely different game from its predecessor.

It was difficult for me to tell, based on what we were watching, how much of Crytek’s famed “go where you want” gameplay was intact. The demo had Nomad on the streets of New York, hiding behind broken chunks of buildings and trashed taxi cabs to return fire at the many enemies. At one point, Nomad kicked a car off of the elevated road he was standing on and towards an enemy robot that was on a side road. He fired a grenade to detonate the car and remove the threat. Soon afterward, Nomad used the strength mode to jump through a window of a nearby office building. The fighting continued in the tight hallways of the office. Computers and desks blew apart in spectacular fashion, fallen prey to errant gunfire. After dispatching many enemies, Nomad eventually jumped out of another window and back down to the street. It appeared to me that these situations were presenting multiple options for where the player could go on their choice. I would love to see a large portion of New York that is completely explorable, but until I have control of Nomad myself, it is difficult to tell just how much freedom is given to the player.

Eventually, Nomad finds his way to New York’s Grand Central Station, a designated safe area in the sprawling urban wasteland. After meeting up with a few friendlies, a massive walking robot crashes through the far glass, and an intense showdown follows from within the confines of the station. After Nomad is able to fell the juggernaut, he looks up through the glass sky lights just in time to see fireballs slam into the nearby “MaxLife” skyscraper. The building lurches forward—it isn’t going to last much longer. Realizing that the building is about to fall onto the station, Nomad is rescued by Marines in an armored car. The demo ended with a dramatic sequence of Nomad making a quick escape in the vehicle. Pedestrians are everywhere, trying desperately to escape with their lives. Unable to save them all, the MaxLife building crashes down onto the station and creates a spectacular cloud of dust and debris.

It is very clear that Crysis 2 will play nothing like the first game. Apart from the suit powers (which have actually been simplified a bit—gone is the speed power), very little of what gamers learned while playing Crysis will help when playing Crysis 2. This isn’t the familiar wide open world of guerrilla warfare. This is down and dirty, gritty urban combat. So very few times has a sequel dared to differ so much from its predecessor that I can think of only a handful of titles. This change of pace and setting will either greatly please or completely enrage fans.

How about the visuals of Crysis 2? There is no question that expectations are astronomical for Crysis 2—gamers place Crysis as one of the prime examples of photo-realism in games. To this day, three years after release, gamers still brag about how well their newest gaming build can run Crysis with maximum settings enabled. One thing is for sure – Crysis 2 is going to be a contender. Does it actually live up to the expectations, though?

From a lighting standpoint, Crysis 2 is leagues beyond everything else out there. The lighting technologies in CryEngine 3 are superb. I have never seen an engine handle the sheer magnitude of lightsources with the ease that Crysis 2 does. Light is coming from everywhere and casting shadows on everything. Search lights from choppers, yellow flames belching from car engines, and explosions from a rocket launch all add their light to the scene. The battlefield becomes chaotic with objects, combatants, and light sources dancing across the screen. The result is a true spectacle to behold.

When the fireballs crashed into the MaxLife building as Nomad watched from below, they cast a bright, orange light. As they passed over the skylights of Grand Central Station, every bit of framework between the panes of glass cast a shadow. This complex mesh of shadows (doubled, thanks to the second fireball) moved across the entire interior of the station. The effect was so impressive that I paid little attention to the actual impact with the building. Such a high volume of complex dynamic shadows is simply unheard of in modern gaming.

Beyond being able to handle a high amount of light sources in real-time, CryEngine 3 introduces other high-level lighting effects. Ambient Occlusion serves to approximate radiating light and shade areas of complex geometry to better reflect real-world lighting. This effect is difficult to see in the darkness of Crysis 2, but it was especially noticeable in the indoor areas.

To push that look even further, CryEngine 3 is the first real-time graphics engine to implement a global illumination model. Though not technically a true global illumination model, it simulates light bounce and even uses light propagation volumes to introduce color bounce and indirect lighting. What all of this means is that games using CryEngine 3 have the most realistic lighting effects ever seen in a video game. To make more sense of global illumination and light propogation volumes, the following video from SIGGRAPH 2009 illustrates the effects in CryEngine 3:

Everything in Crysis 2 looks fantastic. Texture work is just as good as it was with the first game. Clean, detailed textures appear on every object in the scene. Motion blur and depth of field blur are subtle and smooth—and are still the finest examples of the tech in gaming today. Sound design is loud and complex, the kind of stuff that can only be fully appreciated with a good pair of headphones or a surround sound system cranked to the max. Character faces treated with subsurface scattering and brought to life by the remarkable lip sync and facial animation return as well. Crytek has clearly built off of what they brought to the table with CryEngine 2 all while turning the dial to 11.

To me, Crysis 2 fully lives up to the expectations visually, with the bulk of the achievements in the lighting department. Sadly, most gamers will look at Crysis 2 and not see much of a difference, however. We are reaching an age in computer graphics where the major strides in technology are made in the minute details, and to the untrained eye, these details matter naught. At the end of the day, most will complain that Crytek hasn’t done enough with Crysis 2. The reality is quite the contrary—Crytek has made significant leaps forward in technology with the game, and they have paved the way once more for modern methods of computer graphics.

Wird Crysis 2 den PC als Spieleplattform retten?

Zitat:

---

Crysis ist bis heute einer der schönsten und grafisch anspruchsvollsten Titel. Bereits 2007 erschien Cryteks Dschungel-Shooter auf Basis der Cryengine 2 und forderte damals die Hardware bis zum Äußersten. Für das volle Programm mussten Spieler sogar noch einige Zeit auf die Hardware warten - Crysis war extrem anspruchsvoll und ist es heute noch, wenn man die mittlerweile entwickelten Grafikmods dazu nimmt.

Die Erwartungen an Crysis 2 sind entsprechend hoch - vor allem in der PC-Spieler-Community. Doch Crytek wird den Shooter, der in New York spielt, auch für Konsolen veröffentlichen. Und Crossplattformtitel müssen sich bekanntermaßen oft am schwächsten Glied der Kette orientieren. Wird Crytek also wieder, mit einer gesonderten PC-Fassung, für eine grafische Pracht sorgen, wie es 2007 bereits gelang? Schafft Crysis 2 erneut eine ähnlichen Sprung auf den Thron der 3D-Grafik? Wird Crytek genügend Gründe liefern, um den PC aufzurüsten? Fragen, auf die es aktuell noch keine Antwort gibt. Sollte Crytek eine PC-Fassung programmieren, die alle technischen Möglichkeiten aktueller Hardware ausreizt, wären die Chancen sicher nicht schlecht. Die Redakteure von PC Games Hardware sagen ihre Meinung, formulieren ihre Erwartungen und Hoffnungen, die sie zum Thema Crysis 2 haben. Übrigens, was denken Sie?

Mehr zu Crysis 2 erfahren Sie auch auf der Themenwebseite, die sich als RSS-Feed abnonnieren lässt. So sind Sie immer auf dem neuesten Stand. Der Action-Titel soll pünktlich zum Weihnachtsgeschäft 2010 erscheinen und lässt sich als Standard-Version schon jetzt beispielsweise bei unserem Partner Amazon.de für 46,90 Euro vorbestellen.

Not much new in this OXM preview, except for the parts in red, which I think have not been mentioned before.

Maybe New York also gets frozen by the Aliens?

http://www.oxm.co.uk/article.php?id=20867

Zitat:

---

It's easy to forget that the Xbox 360 has been around since 2005 when you clap eyes on a game that looks as sexy as this. If it were any prettier, Microsoft Tech Support would be in danger of receiving consoles with engagement rings jammed in the DVD drive.

We were initially sceptical when we heard Crysis was heading to New York - it's been used in so many titles and most gamers know it inside out from extended periods playing GTAIV. Having seen it in action, though, we're fully prepared to worm our way back into the Big Apple.

It helps that Nathan Camarillo, executive producer on Crysis 2, teases us with a little insight into what's in store for the city - it won't be New York as you know it for the entire game. If you played Crysis on the PC, you'll remember a pivotal moment where the entire tropical island became frozen.

Camarillo promises a similarly dramatic change to the environment in Crysis 2. Were we to speculate, we'd point to the large amount of vegetation visible in many of these screenshots - could the alien presence in New York City be promoting plant growth? Are we going to see nature and the urban jungle collide? Camarillo refuses to reveal any more.

Whatever happens, you're going to be well equipped to deal with it thanks to the game's Nanosuit, which gives you a variety of Predator-esque powers. Depending on how you prefer to play, you'll be using different combinations of the speed, strength and stealth options available. Camarillo was also keen to point out that you'll be able to use your strength to clobber enemies with lampposts and other bits of street furniture.

How you approach each battle will be largely up to you. Crysis begins with a moment to soak up the stunning visuals and suss out the environment from a safe vantage point. Once you've worked out a loose strategy you dive into the fray, either by stealthing your way in, sniping from a tactical position or just making a big noisy mess.

There's no doubt that Crysis will be one of the most sumptuous shooters on the system, but it sounds like the meat of the game is going to be just as special. As a final tantalising detail, Camarillo told us to expect a more focused, class-based multiplayer than the PC original and that, in both single and multiplayer, we'll be able to tailor the Nanosuit to our own specific play styles. Suits us very well indeed.

Crytek: Crysis 2 hat die beste AI der Spiele-Geschichte

Zitat:

---

Crytek behauptet, dass die Gegner-AI in “Crysis 2″ die anspruchvollste in der Videospiel-Geschichte sei. Im Interview mit cvg sagte Crytek Boss Cervat Yerli, dass sich der Titel mit denkenden, fairen Feinden rühmen kann.
“Wir haben das am weitesten fortgeschrittene AI-System in einem Spiel,” sagte Yerli. “Wir denken, dass Crysis 2 die am weitesten entwickelte AI für Menschen und Aliens hat, die man je gesehen hat. Sie werden sich taktisch koordinieren, sie werden herausfordernd sein, aber nicht unfair - sie werden wirklich intelligente, denkende, faire Feinde sein.”
“Ich glaube aus dieser Sicht wird unsere Spielerfahrung wirklich einzigartig sein, weil wir eine Spielwelt haben, die Freiheiten erlaubt und einen Helden, der Freiheiten erlaubt - aber auch einen Feind, der sich an die Freiheiten anpasst und einen permanent herausfordert, egal was man macht.”

EA Announced Crysis 2 Multipalyer at GamesCom 2010!


Freue mich rießig drauf.

Medal of Honor und Crysis 2 nutzen FIFA-Technologie

Zitat:

---

Die Animationstechnologie, die in vielen bekannten EA-Sports-Titeln genutzt wird, wird auch in “Medal of Honor” und “Crysis 2″ verwendet. EA Sports’ Peter Moore meint, dass das den Anfang einer neuen Entwicklungs-Philosophie darstellen soll.
Er sagte: “Wir tauschen sehr viel zwischen den Studios aus. Man kann Fight Night nehmen und vieles davon für unser MMA Spiel verwenden. Feature-Sharing, große Ideen werden zwischen den beiden Teams aus Vancouver und Orlando ausgetauscht.”
“Interessanterweise setzen wir unsere [ANT] Engine in einigen unserer FPS ein. Wenn Soldaten von Stellung zu Stellung laufen - und das kommt auch bei größeren Spielen vor - gibt es eine gewisse Steifheit bei den Soldaten, die bei Sportspielen nicht vorkommen würde. Über den Einsatz unserer ANT Engine in unseren FPS-Spielen werdet ihr noch mehr hören. Wie bei Medal of Honor und Crysis 2,” ergänzte Moore.
EA Sports’ ANT Engine wurde 2007 vorgestellt und wird in Spielen wie “FIFA 10″ genutzt. Mit dem Einsatz der Technik in “Medal of Honor” zeichnet sich offenbar ein neuer Trend ab. Moore freut sich bereits darauf, dass EA-Sports-Technologie in den EA Games Studios genutzt werden soll. Steif animierte Spielfiguren sehen wir demnach in Zukunft also immer seltener bei EA Games.

Crysis 2 looks ridiculously good. Of course it does, but seeing it in action, under our control, brings the details to life in a way the screenshots cannot. We played a 360 build running on a PC, so although we played with a gamepad on a TV, we doubt the resolution and slick framerate we saw could possibly translate completely to the final 360 version.

But man, does it look good. Crisp, grimy textures of broken concrete, exposed rebar, and showering sparks make the whole disaster-movie tone feel realistic. In fact, we kept thinking back to Cloverfield as we played the demo – never more so than when watching the Metlife building collapsing in a dramatic, slow tilt while the camera wobbled and whipped from one danger to the next. That particular area of the demo was a sort of interactive cutscene in the sense that although the camera yanked our perspective to important events, we could still nudge it around ourselves, maintaining some sense of immersion.

On the streets at night, we battled along crumbled elevated roads (hmm, don’t remember seeing those the last time we were in the real Manhattan, but that’s not important). We flipped on the nano suit’s tactical visor, a kind of souped-up version of the binoculars originally introduced way back with the first Far Cry. These babies highlight enemy positions and items through walls, giving you a serious tactical advantage. Of course, to balance this, you can’t use any weaponry with it, so it’s typically a quick peek to gain info before swapping back to the guns. After trying out the night vision goggles, we moved forth into the warzone.

Smashed, leaning buses and cars serve as a jungle-gym to climb around on and use cover behind while taking potshots at the Predator-ish aliens running around with tentacle dreadlocks and glowing red eyes. While these guys take part in firefights like human enemies, they’ll also rush you and suddenly pounce, knocking you to the ground, and if you’re carrying a heavy weapon, knocking it out of your hand. Luckily, melee attacks take them down just fine when operating under the default strength/speed setting of the nano suit.

We’re not sure if the simplified powers of the nano suit are a result of streamlining for the sake of trimming redundancy, or whether it’s to fit into the idea of being console-friendly, but we think it works. On the one hand, we miss the fun minigame of swapping rapidly between suit powers in the original Crysis, but the dumbed-down version doesn’t feel like it’s missing much. For instance, with strength/speed now being the default, you don’t have to swap to make one super-jump. Instead, you just super-jump all the time, which is definitely more fun. On the other hand, with no true speed ability, your sprint doesn’t have that blinding fast rush that sprinting in the original Crysis brought.

Once in Grand Central Station, we got to play with a nice array of weapons while dealing with successively more dangerous opponents. At first, we fought the same Predator-alikes as on the streets, but then a brute-style mini-mech came stomping in. It’s hard to tell, but we’re assured we’re not fighting robots – there are aliens piloting these things. So this particular mech was surprisingly fast for how big he was, and we found ourselves running from him up and down the various walkways and stairwells around the perimeter of Grand Central.

Scattered throughout this area was a slew of weapons. After our assault rifle didn’t do much do dent the mech’s armor, we tried to go for a fixed gun turret, but got chased out as the mech flanked us. Instead, we got hold of a grenade launcher. We discovered it has a steep arc, but the grenades explode in proximity to enemies, so getting in hits on the mech wasn’t difficult. This launcher also sports sticky grenades as an alt-fire option, but we were too busy running away to plan it out properly. Once we ran out of grenades (and our pursuer still wasn’t dead yet), we snatched up some C4 and plopped some in his path, and that finished him off.

We breathed a sigh of relief that the boss battle was over. And then a bigger mech came crashing through the windows. This thing was too big to chase us up on the walkways, so it was easier to take cover from it. We picked up some one-shot rocket launchers and fired all of them at the monstrosity, but it was still ticking. Then we found something called the Swarmer. It looks like a four-barreled anti-air launcher, but instead it’s held low like a minigun. Each shot sends out about eight mini-rockets what certainly do swarm the target. While we were pestering the clanking boss with angry, exploding bees, his henchmen came along and swatted the Swarmer out of our hands. After taking care of the annoying underlings, we sprinted back to the fixed gun turret, which was right in the boss’s face. Fortunately, we’d done enough damage previously that it only took a second of unloading the turret point-blank to finally cause the behemoth to slump over.

The demo had us missing the gorgeous, lush tropical jungles of the original Crysis, as well as the more complex nano suit abilities, but at the same time the sequence of events had a much more set-piece feel to them. The game overall feels denser with action and tension, at least in these sections we played. There wasn’t much use for the stealth ability of the nano suit, so we’re guessing there will be quieter sections to play. At least that’s what we hope, because so far the excitement level of the game has been exhausting.

Crysis 2 meist erwarteste Spiel 2010:

http://www.pcgameshardware.de/screen...0722171446.PNG

http://www.pcgameshardware.de/aid,76...7/Spiele/News/

http://www.gamestar.de/spiele/crysis...6,2316531.html

Fazit der Redaktion

Michael Graf: Okay, man kann die 3D-Grafik auch als Marketing-Gag abtun. Ich finde sie cool, so lange die inhaltliche Qualität nicht darunter leidet – und dafür gibt’s keinen Anhaltspunkt. Denn wenn Crytek seine Versprechen hält, noch lenkbare Fahrzeuge enthüllt und alle Missionen so intensiv inszeniert wie den E3-Level – wenn all das zutrifft, dann wird Crysis 2 kein guter Shooter. Es wird der beste.



Also ich glaube ihnen nicht, das die Crysis 2 gespielt haben.

I have been listening to the conference call (still going on) and EA representative said "better window and polishing" as the reasons for the release date shift. "Window" meaning release window.

This is great news. The more polish, the better.

Zitat:

Crysis was undoubtedly one of the technological highlights of the games industry in the last five years, instantly putting the PC back in the spotlight as a gamer's platform for the hardcore. Now Crytek are continuing the series with Crysis 2, and the studio is doing things a little differently.

For a start, the game is hitting consoles as well as the PC. This might raise some eyebrows with those used to the extremely high fidelity found in the original Crysis, and during my chat with the game's executive producer the graphics difference was one of the first subjects on the table.

You needn't be worried, however. Nathan Camarillo assures me that while the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions look as fantastic as they do already, it's only going to get better for those with a hefty gaming rig.

There are other things to consider as well - a brand new enemy, a new location in New York, and even a brand new nanosuit. Exactly why the change? And with all the alterations, can we really call it Crysis anymore? All questions addressed in the following interview...


http://www.spong.com/ss/c/r/crysis2323168m.jpg
SPOnG: One of the things that a lot of people remember about Crysis, being a PC only game, was how much it actually pushed the technical boundaries. In fact, a lot of people still joke about having to have a nuclear-powered computer just to run it.

Nathan Camarillo: That's true (laughs).


SPOnG: Here with Crysis 2 though, you're going for an even higher quality game, but including the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 – which, it can be argued, don't have as much horsepower as most gaming PCs. How have you managed to build a game with those limitations in mind?

Nathan Camarillo: We had really inefficient code. No, I'm joking (laughs). The truth is, even we at Crytek said 'there's no way a game like Crysis can ever run on a console.' But, we thought about it really hard and thought that if we didn't at least try to do it, someone else will. So we set that challenge for ourselves to get that same level of quality packed into those machines.

We looked at what we were doing, and how we were accomplishing it. We also researched into the power of the consoles and how much we could push them, and our engineers have been working on them for some time. The CryEngine 3 was also structured around being able to pull this off, and made it scale everything based on platform. It gets the most power out of the Xbox 360, out of the PlayStation 3 and PC.

If you have a PC and it's on a specification close to a 360 or PS3, you can expect a similar sort of experience and it'll be good. If you have a PC that cost you $4000 or more, you'll get all this upgraded stuff that will make this awesome visual experience too. But nobody should feel like they're missing out, because the core experience is still the same. Same levels, same environments, same objects, interactions and enemies.

You don't miss anything, it's just – if you've spent the money on your hardware, your experience should benefit from that.


http://www.spong.com/ss/c/r/crysis2323166m.jpg
SPOnG: So did you guys have to overhaul elements from the CryEngine or cut bits out so that it would run on consoles more efficiently?

Nathan Camarillo: We overhauled some of it, yeah. We didn't overhaul all of it, but there were some core things that we looked at and optimised and addressed. We've made those things more scalable than they were in the past so... quite a lot of voodoo happened.


SPOnG: One of the biggest complaints in Crysis 1 was surely the anti-gravity bit. Will that return in Crysis 2?

Nathan Camarillo: I don't know if anyone's really looking forward to the anti-gravity bit, but we certainly heard about the criticisms about it. We took all of the community comments very seriously and there were things internally that we didn't like either.

If it wasn't well-received, you can bet that it won't be in Crysis 2, I mean I don't think anyone would not buy Crysis 2 if we have anti-gravity in there but you know (laughs). That was definitely very well-criticised, internally and externally, so...


http://www.spong.com/ss/c/r/crysis2325188m.jpg
SPOnG: Crysis is largely considered a PC game, but for the sequel today you showcased it on an Xbox 360. Was that your decision, to show exactly how well you can perform on consoles?

Nathan Camarillo: Well, that was EA's decision to go with a 360 showcase. That was their choice, and the message we want to give out is that feeling of how good it looks on a console. People are really amazed at what we're doing on the consoles here.

If you consider that it looks that good on the 360, and the development is scaled upwards across the platforms... then you know that the PC version's going to look fine. If we were showing PC as an example, people would go 'yeah, that's nice, but does it run well on consoles? What is it going to look like?' So it's easier to wow everyone from the bottom and then continue to wow them as you show them better and better stuff.


SPOnG: You mentioned in the presentation that you kinda renewed the nanosuit, instead of latching new abilities to it. You've retooled it so that each element fits together more logically. Was there a danger of getting an imbalance there? What were the dangers of changing the suit up to such a degree?

Nathan Camarillo: Some of the challenges are just in fundamentally changing the way that we thought about the suit. The last iteration of the suit only came about a month or so ago (April) because we were internally exploring with having different suit modes and other stuff.

There were some previews that we gave in early January where we had a totally different control scheme, and we thought for sure that that was what we were going to do – turns out something about it wasn't sitting right with us internally. So we totally changed it.

We're always looking at our projects, trying to make them better and we thought 'what if... we did this?' It was a total departure to what we were already doing, but we realised that it would just make for a much easier experience for the player. We kind of sold ourselves on the concept of the control changes, and then spent the time implementing it and exploring it and realised that it worked so much better.


http://www.spong.com/ss/c/r/crysis2326763m.jpg
SPOnG: Has that affected the design of your levels at all? Did you make any changes to the controls or other mechanics mean you had to do away with other elements planned in the levels?

Nathan Camarillo: No, not really – we always had these concepts of mobility, stealth, armour and gathering information, so level design doesn't really change. It's more about how quickly you can get to the gameplay, how we can combine these elements together and what that means for the gamer experience.

It's hard to say that we're always trying to improve our products, but hopefully you can get an idea after hearing about the number of times we've changed up Crysis 2 so far! We're always trying to revamp this and make it better. Now that we're 100 per cent sure of where we're going, we're feeling awesome.


http://www.spong.com/ss/c/r/crysis2325189m.jpg
SPOnG: Crysis 2 seems like an entirely different game – it's on consoles, there's a different setting, new suit, new alien menace... How much of the game is built on its past success, and how much is it about taking the game into a completely different direction?

Nathan Camarillo: Well, the core nanosuit gameplay is the same as in Crysis 1, on top of the AI, really strong combat mechanics and the whole humans and bipedals thing. We did all of those things really well in Crysis - we had really good weapons in Crysis, but they weren't necessarily appreciated by the player.

A lot of what we're doing in Crysis 2 is simply highlighting those original elements a little more. We want to expand the range of the arsenal a little bit – some are very conventional, others are science tech, close to what the nanosuit itself is. We wanted to broaden that a little bit, along with the audio – that was good in Crysis 1. We wanted to continue to keep doing it and make sure players notice and benefit from it all.

The things that we really wanted to address required some drastic changes though, which is probably why that's all being highlighted. We couldn't just do Crysis 2 in a jungle with two new suit powers, that would make for a rather watered down sequel and if it was running on a console it would impress nobody.

We had to take some really bold steps because we're building a franchise, and if we can prove that we're able to do this and wow the audience still then we can take the franchise anywhere we want to. So we could even say that the third one could stay in an urban environment - or we could mix things up a bit because we've proved that this is a personal game can exist anywhere. Then it's up to us what kind of story we want to tell beyond Crysis 2.

SPOnG: I guess it's the new alien menace that gives that feeling of freshness, because not a lot of information is out there about them and after seeing them today they just seem entirely different. How deliberate was that - did you just want to create a totally different bipedal warrior with different tactics?

Nathan Camarillo: Partially. Some of it was based on criticisms from Crysis 1 as well, because the flying aliens weren't necessarily well-received. You spent half the game learning concepts of hiding and cover, gaining vertical advantages and things like that.

What happened was that you'd play through the game environment in this way, and then all of a sudden we'd introduce flying aliens which would just invalidate all of your cover and you can't really take cover from them – and then we threw you into this Zero-G environment with no cover at all.

So we wanted to leverage some of those systems a little better and introduce a new bipedal enemy that can take cover and challenge the player. But there are also other aliens that we haven't revealed yet – some of those are much more mobile, just like you are and can come into the environment in ways you wouldn't expect. They will jump up on things and challenge you for vertical supremacy, so if you're on the ground they're going to try and get higher and get the advantage on you.

And it is an advantage because it invalidates your cover. On the other hand, if you fight for vertical supremacy you lose whatever cover advantage you would have if you stayed on the ground.

SPOnG: How much stock do you put into Crysis as a product, in your personal view? When the game was announced Crytek's story writer went on to make some bold claims about the quality of Crysis 2's story over Modern Warfare 2's and other games.

Nathan Camarillo: Ask him (laughs).


SPOnG: What's your personal thoughts on that though? Do you feel the same way, that Crysis 2 is the very pinnacle of first-person shooters?

Nathan Camarillo: Well, my goal is simply to make the best possible product that we're capable of making. So yes, my lofty goal is to make the best first-person shooter ever, but how we go about that and how we accomplish that is subject to what we're able to do and how we approach it.

Is it all about having the best story? Yeah, that would be awesome. Is it about having the best weapons? Absolutely. Is it about having the best tech and visuals? Certainly. It's also about having the best aliens and AI. We strive for all of these things, and hopefully we hit all of those targets. Maybe it is all about those elements. Maybe it's not, and that still might make our product the greatest.

I'm not the kind of guy that's going to talk trash about other games – I'm a huge fan of games in general, and I love playing and making games. A lot of my friends work on some of our biggest competitors and we've worked together at previous companies, so badmouthing their games is badmouthing them and I don't do that.

SPOnG: On the other hand, Richard Morgan had some good things to say about a few games, like Uncharted 2 and Batman Arkham Asylum. Going on that, are there any titles that you would say have been a big influence to you and Crysis?

Nathan Camarillo: We're all inspired by other people's games. We don't make design decisions by looking at whatever is the flavour of the moment in games right now, or mimic other people's work, but we definitely get inspired.

The team here are great fans of team deathmatch and multiplayers games, and we've all put loads of hours into games like Modern Warfare 2, Battlefield: Bad Company... I even went back to playing Counter Strike again a few weeks ago. So on that level, we're definitely enjoying improvements and features that others take the time to implement in their games.

On another level, I really appreciate story-led games like BioShock... even platform games can give me some inspiration to create. It doesn't have to be a related genre either - I've learnt just as much from racing games as I have from FPS games.

Project Gotham Racing totally shook up the racing genre and made driving round in a circle fun. There's nothing inspired by Gotham in Crysis 2, but I'm very intrigued by the Kudos system for example, and where they got the idea to implement that into the game. And subconsciously it makes you think about other games, and how you can work trick systems and whatnot into other genres.

SPOnG: Finally, one of the best experiences found in playing the original Crysis has to be chucking chickens into the air, waiting for them to fall and avoiding them before they hit you and killed you. Is there anything like that in Crysis 2?

Nathan Camarillo: In the demo I showed, where you have to evade capture in New York city, you can take a guy and throw him out of the window. You can, if you like, switch to the strength power and chuck him really high into the air. I like to shotgun him before he hits the ground.

That's just one of many ideas. Another, in that demo, is on the rooftops there's a few lampposts that you can grab if they fall over. It's fun to pick one up and smack some guys around with it. It's better to throw the pole into the air, catch it on the way down, and melee a falling enemy before he hits the ground. It's stuff you don't have to do, but it's just really fun to experiment.

We wanted to keep having stuff like that in the game, because we love keeping an eye on what people come up with in the community. There's one particular mod that I love, where the story in the game has been changed and instead focuses on a chicken. It's so funny. We laugh at stuff like that and love the things our fans do.

They're probably not aware of this, but we sometimes have meeting of about 20 of us, and have a big projector running all kinds of community mods and tricks that we think are really cool. We just hope the community keeps doing stuff like this because we get really entertained by it.


SPOnG: Thank you for your time.

Nathan Camarillo: Thanks a lot!
