Seriously, what is going on over there?
I wonder the same thing. You and I are in the same boat.
I was reading a twitter post by a Crytek programmer earlier where he was dissing the engine MW3 uses and then another Crytek dev wrote that they should license Cryengine 3 and call the next COD CryofdutyMW4. I found that to be hilarious. Why would Infinity Ward want to poison their flawless engine with Cryengine 3? The engine that doesn't work right on 360. What a joke. Crytek are amateurs.
LMFAO!
I love this game, it is one of the best I feel I have ever played, but Crytek have a hell of a lot to learn before they can be even mentioned in the same breath as IW, hell even Treyarch.
Can you imagine MW3 with the stuttery, unoptimised, buggy mess that is Cry Engine 3. Code that got so far out of the control of the developers it takes 3 months to fix bugs because that is how long it takes to trace the issues. I shudder to think.
Crytek are lucky to be a million selling dev, I suspect with their next game it will be MUCH less.
Unless they improve the quality of their products, and their community engagement, and no offence to Adam but we are clearly always dealing with the monkey and not the organ grinder, they could go the way of Bizarre Creations and many other devs. Nearly 2 weeks since they promised patch notes, wtf?
A crappy looking Kinect game and an engine which is never going to compete with unreal engine, source, and frost bite is not going to propel these guys to stardom any time soon.
Shame really.
