nobody should buy crytek. they are without a doubt one of the worst AAA devs in the business, and they rapidly expanded, all for what? a badly made Ryse, a forgotten Crysis 3, a franchise that mind you, nobody cares about anymore. a F2P game that flopped and now a homefront game, a franchise that had a lot of hope from THQ but its failure was once of the reasons they are no more.

they are bad developers, sure, cryengine is a great engine. but naughty dog and GG make outstanding looks games for sony and 343i proved that it can meet the visual bar set to high by these devs and maybe even surprase it. buying a huge company that makes so little just doenst make sense.

I really dislike these "insiders" . . .

The more, the merrier I guess =D

This one seems ok to me.

I agree..

Something beautiful that would never run on any current gen console. It's easy to make something beautiful. The real challenge is to make it work with limited resources and Crytek sucks majorly at that. They just pile up more and more visual effects and after that are boasting that you would need to have a monster PC to actually run it. That's actually quite pitiful.

Sony already has an overrated FPS dev. They're called Guerilla Games. They don't need another one.

But what if they are in it for the engine?
Unlike other companies licencing engines, as a platform holder, Sony could heavily optimise it for their systems and make porting a much easier process and cut out other companies like epic which either means developers make more money, or that money goes into better development of the games.

and history will repeat itself here.
