Leipzig has seen the big player focus on hardware and accessories this year, plus the odd new game weve already heard about, so its nice to finally have some news on new top secret games in the works.
Thanks to GamesIndustry.biz, we can now tell you that Crytek; the team behind the upcoming Crysis, is heavily invested in console development, especially for the PS3.
"Our PS3 development is going deeper than many people assume right now," studio boss Cevat Yerli said.
The team is currently working on a console game that is being built from the ground up for PS3. "It's a complete departure from Crysis and Far Cry, it's not a first-person shooter," Yerli explained. The game will also be coming out for the X360, but the developer has highlighted that it won't feature any of the cross-platform issues that have been plaguing sloppier releases. "For that, we're optimising technology, but for another reason, the future in general, there is a dedicated PS3 team."
Crytek has a strong interest in the PS3, however, and is working on additional technologies specifically for Sony's platform. "The PS3 room is separate because we have some secret technologies being developed there which are not related to CryEngine 2."
This is exciting news as weve already been awed with Crysis for the PC. We can't wait to see what theyll come up with when they start playing with the PS3s technological capabilities.
