really good interview with Avni Yerli (the co-founder)

Freeking awesome read, thanks for that! Crytek are really stressing that PC Gaming is still dear to them which is good.

yeah thats the new trend. Just say how you love pc gaming, pc gamers get excited and rush to buy the game only to be disappointed.
Next sequeal repeat. Remember black ops, homefront anyone?

Did anyone care that much about blops on PC? It was beaten by bad company 2 by a fair whack sales wise.

is sold 1.8 million on steam alone according to estimates

Interesting read...and also quite hilarious that one of the co-founders would make a mistake like this one:

Avni: But I agree; historically not many triple-A western games have been built with CryEngine. Far Cry and Far Cry 2 were both based on our tech -

Interviewer: I thought Far Cry 2 was built by Ubisoft’s own tech?

Avni:…I don’t think so.

Haha Dunia engine is Ubisofts engine, it's slightly worrying that the co-founder of Crytek doesn't know this.

EDIT: Apparently I'm wrong, the dunia engine is in fact based on Cryteks tech...then skip the hilarious part, just an interesting read.

yes, pretty sure the dunia engine is a souped up version of cryengine1 if the wiki is to be believed. I personally like both games, and think it's interesting to see what can be done with the engine. I'd really like to see like a counter strike mod for crysis wars, could be lots of fun playing with no respawn.

lol it's ok you know how many "propriatory" engines are actually re-workings of the U3 engines? Like Darksiders' engine and Dark Sector's. But the studios will tell you it's their tech because technically it is but it really not
