    Crytek ‘working closely’ with Microsoft, Sony re: motion controls

    Posted on April 16, 2010 | No Comments
    Pretty sure Crytek, of Crysis fame, is usually associated with blazing fast graphics cards and extreme edition processors, so color me surprised to see it embracing Microsoft's Project Natal and Sony's Move.

It's no coincidence that Crtyek, the game's developers, and EA, the game's publisher, chose New York to show off the game, with Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli calling the city "symbolic of the pride of mankind." Clearly he hasn't been to the more rubbish sections of Queens. Yes, you're in an altogether different type of jungle this go-round.

    Pedestrians in Times Square were treated to the debut trailer of Crysis 2, the next game from Crytek (and publisher EA) that will bring your PC to its knees. Well, unless you’re playing the console version. There’s a countdown timer on some sort of Web site, wonder what that means…
