Games Convention 2008 Coverage
With the Games Convention 2008 in Leipzig, Germany the games industry held its biggest event world-wide where even the public audience had the chance to get their hands on the upcoming game titles.
With three booths in total Crytek and EA showed off the full power of Crysis Warhead and Crysis Wars including hands-on experience, direct chats with the developers and lots of free t-shirts for the gamers.
For Warhead people had the chance to play through a major part of the second level called “Shore Leave” which only was known from videos from other events. Also, for the first time ever, we showed the new game mode TeamInstantAction of Crysis Wars to the public, which was a huge success.
Long queues and the booths being crowded all over the Games Convention underlined the attention Crysis Warhead and Wars caught in the gaming community.
Overall the entire feedback was tremendously positive and we are extremely looking forward to the release of the Warhead package. Since we had many members from the media attending as well, we’ve compiled a list of where to read the previews, so don’t just take our word for it, have a look at the impressions below!
New Upcoming Community Web Site “MyCrysis.com”
Already mentioned before in interviews we are happy to let you know that our upcoming official community web site
www.MyCrysis.com is nearing completion. With this web site we want to focus even more on the interactivity with our gaming community.
By having Crymod.com geared towards the modding community we wanted to establish a new meeting point for all the gamers out there who are interested to get the latest information on the entire Crysis franchise and also exchange their thoughts amongst each other.
Stay tuned for the launch since it is not that far away…
