Maximum Surprise

Last week, Crytek announced that the Crysis 1.3 patch that could fix the present bugs and improve game performance even on high-end machines wont be coming out and that they had no plan on working on it yet. Some interpreted this as Crytek’s inability to support their current products – Which is not a surprising assumption because some companies use the declaration of abandonment of game-support by telling people that they would stop patching a specific game. But of course this is too bad to be true, and indeed it is. 1 week after Crytek revealed that they currently can’t waste their developer’s precious time on a 1.3 patch, Crysis Warhead is announced.

This baby… or a poster of a dude sporting a Crysis Nano Suit has been appearing in Crysis’ Official website since yesterday and as expected a lot of people went OMG and some guys started questioning their sexuality as soon as they noticed that they got excited for a 3d image of a guy in a nano suit… well of course it’s not yours-truly, Just some exaggerated assumption.

EA, please dont rush Crytek on this give them more time to work on this expansion so this game wouldn’t just be another – Maximum Hype

Anyway. Here are the official statement from Crytek regarding Crysis Warhead

“We were very pleased with the reception of Crysis from both gamers and media after our launch last year,” said Cevat Yerli, CEO and President of Crytek. “That being said, one of the key principles of our studio is to always raise the bar. With Warhead, we are focusing on refining our storytelling and game performance, while also delivering more of the visually stunning graphics and immersive, free-roaming gameplay everyone loved in Crysis.”

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Maximum freedom, maximum explosions and maximum Psycho! Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS) and award-winning independent studio Crytek today announced Crysis Warhead® – the parallel story to Crysis, one of the most critically-acclaimed first person shooters and PC games of 2007. Shipping exclusively for the PC this fall, Crysis Warhead is the first title to be developed at Crytek’s Budapest studio, and is built on a new, enhanced and optimized version of Crytek’s CryENGINE® 2 technology.

“We were very pleased with the reception of Crysis from both gamers and media after our launch last year,” said Cevat Yerli, CEO and President of Crytek. “That being said, one of the key principles of our studio is to always raise the bar. With Warhead, we are focusing on refining our storytelling and game performance, while also delivering more of the visually stunning graphics and immersive, free-roaming gameplay everyone loved in Crysis.”

“The best result of a partnership that we can ask for in the EA Partners program is when a world class independent studio like Crytek chooses to continue to work with us,” said David DeMartini, Vice President and Global General Manager, EA Partners. “Crysis was an amazing game and is going to be a blockbuster franchise. We could not be more excited to be working with Crytek to launch another hit with Crysis Warhead this year.”

In Crysis Warhead, players will don the Nanosuit of Sergeant Sykes, also known as ‘Psycho’, one of the most memorable characters from Crysis. More brash and aggressive than his Delta Force squadmate Nomad, players will experience Psycho’s parallel story during the events of the original game, finding that life on the other side of the island is even more intense and explosive than they ever could have imagined. Luckily, Psycho’s Nanosuit is just as capable and he’s equipped with an even bigger arsenal of fully customizable weapons and new vehicles, giving players access to the tools they need to dominate any situation. Aside from this new, exciting single player campaign, Crysis Warhead will also feature new multiplayer content. Stay tuned for more details this summer.
