C2TV Episode 4 is in the works and will be available soon, it will also contain some insight into the game that has not been talked about much (if at all) before.

It was "in the works" this time a month ago, can we please have an estimated date?

good to hear it will be new stuff :)

Crytek can be busy, but marketing is terrible - no screenshots, no videos, no trailers. IMHO.

We've been getting a steady stream of updates since E3. We just got a new trailer and a new batch of screens in mid-December. I don't see the problem.

I would rather have information about the game (not too sensitive information, obviously) than 10 trailers consisting of stuff I've already seen.

The thing is, C2TV Episode 4 has been taking a ridiculously long time. It is in the works? As far as we've been made aware, it has been in the works for the past 2 or so months. That's quite a long time. And even so, the previous episodes (apart from episode 1) have just been recaps of events like GC and PAX. Which, whatever way you cut it, is just recycling old information.

Honestly, we just need something to make the waiting a bit easier. Can you blame us? What's so wrong with that? We (at least I) am not expecting anything that gives away vital parts of the game. Obviously. How about some more information about the multi-player portion of the game? How about some more in-depth information about it? Why won't the developers showcase their game? All we've seen is just "some" videos of it. Talk about your game, Crytek UK guys. Get us hooked to it. Tell us about the development process. It interests us and it doesn't give away particularly much.

See what you could be doing? That's right, keeping us hooked for months, without making the wait seem painful and boring. So, why not do that? C2TV episode 1 was brilliant. Unfortunately, it was only done once. Why is that? Just... Why? It's obviously worth it.


Thank you

Nothing wrong with that at all. It's awesome that people are so eager to find out more about Crysis 2 :D

Unfortunately, putting these videos together takes time and there's a lot more involved in the process than people may realise.

That said, you'll no doubt get more and more news on Crysis 2 as we get closer and closer to release every day :) 11 weeks to go! :O

I'm perfectly aware of the process. And it is precisely because of that, how I know that we could be getting a lot more community interaction from the company.

The problem I see here is that Crytek, or well, EA PR guys just lack this certain person who knows that, hey this is a good idea and that it should be done tomorrow. There is no such guy, unfortunately. So, we're stuck with the guys who are supposed to blow money on advertisemants and promotion. Leaving the people who are already hooked, out in the cold, of course.

Yes, we have community managers. But unfortunately, you guys just can't call shots like that. As far as I've been able to make out, Cevat doesn't really give a crap and that means that everyone who could call these sort of shots isn't interested in it/hasn't considered it and those who are interested in it and/or have considered it as a very good idea, just can't call the shots.

Which is kind of sad, really. This happens with pretty much every major release. Now, why is that? What's so desperately wrong with interacting with your player-base? In my opinion, good community management is just as or even more important than PR management. Yet, today, community management is done after the following sentence: "Uh, do we have to?" Which, as you can probably understand, svcks balls. And svcks for the community, too.

The community and the developers are always kept distant from each other. Why? We're not so bad. At least not all of us, anyway. There are a lot of nice people around every game's community. Not just nice people, but also smart people who could significantly contribute to the game from experience. I've seen this happen time and time again.

If I was a developer, I would probably enjoy talking about obstacles that were overcome during the development process and the development process in general. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be the only one and there are plenty of people who would love to be a part of that. That's what I'm saying.

Thanks for reading

That was kinda long, but excellently pointed out. I would absolutely love to hear more about the developmental progress of Crysis 2, and have the community managers kinda share about that... Seeing the Cevat brothers own Crytek, it really would'nt hurt if they were to input their opinion here and there, not asking for hundreds of posts because they are so busy, but maybe 5 or so posts every month would be really nice from them.

C2TV Episode 1 was great, I wish/hope that Crytek will do more videos like that before and after the release of Crysis 2 (after to reflect on the development process/experiences/etc).

well it does take long for new information to surface
i mean cmn 11weeks to release?? the game should be Gold status like now and theyre doing the last polishing and they probably found the first "to patch" issues that take to long to fix now

If crytek doesnt get the marketing machine starting soon ill predict this game to fail
compare it to MOH we had **** of info 11weeks from release.
They need to start Hyping now, especially on console, or it will just fail hahaha

Violent reactions? Clearly, you do not possess the ability to read, or at the very least, understand what you read.

Have another read of my posts, please, until you reach another conclusion.

By the way, I wasn't mentioning your posts. Two posts behind me, was rather un-friendly and I can read, I have Ph.d in Professional Ethics. Don't Worry :)

And It's been almost 3 months since the last episode. What happened?
