Interview with Crysis 2 Multiplayer lead level designer

Post » Tue May 31, 2011 10:29 am

Whilst at GamesCom the GameOverCast (an independant podcast) by some miracle managed to get an interview with Crytek's own Steve Lewis, the Lead Level Designer based at Crytek UK.
Unfortunately due to the sheer noise of the surrounding area the audio interview is inaudible. However we wrote it all down, and talk about it at great lengths.
We have a 15 minute section dedicated to talking about our time with Crysis 2 including all our interview questions and responces with Steve.
Topics covered include:
The freeform almost parkoury feel to it,
Vehicles,
Dog tags,
Perks,
Level design,
Class setup,
The release delay,
Cloak balancing,
Challenges of developing for PC, XBOX360 and PS3 at the same time
Plans for Coop.

The Crysis 2 section begins at 28 minutes in. Listen here GameOverCast, or listen on ITUNES : here .
