Crytek CEO: Console gamers 'don't respect development'

I think consoles need to stop devouring every great FPS on the PC.UnknownSniper65

[QUOTE="Sandvichman"][QUOTE="NVIDIATI"] Every time we lose one we also gain one :P We lose Battlefield but gain STALKER, we lose Crysis, but gain Shattered Horizon. Also we're about to get Battlefield back :P BF3 8)

This is assuming that BF3 would be released within this generation.

[QUOTE="NVIDIATI"][QUOTE="Sandvichman"] That's not going to stay exclusive, unless EA hates money. Sandvichman

[QUOTE="NVIDIATI"] :lol: Bad Company is the consoles Battlefield, DICE is making BF3 for PC. If they couldn't make BF2 with its massive scale/64 players, work for consoles than BF3 is out of the question. Heck BC2 on consoles only has 24 player online.NVIDIATI

"During financial presentation, EA COO John Pleasants reveals DICE is already hard at work on a new installment in the shooter franchise, due sometime during publisher's next fiscal year." "That's not for this fiscal year [ending March 31, 2010]"

So April 1st 2010 - March 31st 2011

Hes right

It's true. Developing these things is extremely complex, yet you hear some people criticizing very minor things as if they knew what goes into making these things.. oh well, we can hope our industry will mature as time goes on.

Crytek certainly has a unique way of advertising their products. It seems like the most they can get their word out about their game the better whether its good or bad.

Cuck Frytek.

A conviently 'working' link for you unappreciative consolites!

Cervat Yerli, CEO of Crytek, has told OXM that:

"I simplified it for our guys by saying there is one difference between the PC gamer and console gamer. I said the single most important difference is a PC gamer forgives you for about a minute. A console gamer gives you two seconds. It sucks or it fails and you're either the top or a flop. They don't respect any value you put into your development, either it works or it doesn't work."

He goes on to explain how this pressure has ultimately made Crysis 2 a better game.

Personally, I'm a console gamer primarily and I totally respect and appreciate the work devs put into games! I think that console gamers are generally less patient though lol. On the other hand, his conception of console gamers has improved the quality of this game :P. What do you think?

Hmmm but thats how a consumer should be.

A consumer should look for what works not be lead around on heartstrings *of which he is very wrong that we aren't lead that way since Console gamers are very fanboyish and will forgive any thing by our chosen systems and games* but thats how it should be, We shouldn't care what went into a system we should care that it works, gives us what we want.

If I go to play a fighting game it needs to work as a fighter.

Well, console gamers tend to hold greater value for a dollar because they pay for games rather than steal them. We dont like waisting money on bad games.

Hey Crytek make a game that's more fun than what's out now and then talk.

The writer for Crysis 2 was talking about how Halo 3's story is horrible? Well, for those who have beaten Crysis, can you honestly tell me if they have an amazing story or something? While I don't feel by any means that Halo games have a great story, I definitely do not think that it's as bad as the Crysis 2 writer makes it..

I wonder how cocky these guys would be if Crysis 2 bombed...

Way to generalise. Looks like someone's just been butthurt and felt the need to express his frustrations by having a go at a huge group of gamers. Even in relative terms, I'd have to say that statement is totally untrue, by the way.

It's actually not.

If a game like Stalker: SoC was released on console it would've been bashed to hell and back. Why? It was quite unplayable at launch, but PC gamers stuck with it knowing patches would come out and the game would be fixed.

There's plenty of console games that need to get patched but never get the chance. Kids just cry and post on forums about how overrated the developer is.

"I said the single most important difference is a PC gamer forgives you for about a minute. A console gamer gives you two seconds. It sucks or it fails and you're either the top or a flop."

That actually sounds about right judging from what I seen from both crowds. Although, I do think a man in his position shouldn't be saying such things, it's something that does need to be said from a person that holds more weight than a typical gamer.

The main reason why this has come to be is because a console gamer will can rent or return your game if he doesn't like it. PC gamers invest $50 with no refund garanteed and they are used to huge patches to make big gameplay changes over time. As long as you keep PC gamers informed they typically won't give up on your game until you provided the needed changes if any.

Yes I know generalizing isn't the greatest thing to do, but it does hold true that many do have the same mindset on either side of this when it comes to these things.

Lol, umad? Just kidding..

Its true but that only goes on forums. People cannot possibly be that slow irl. So he should except it and try to prove people wrong.

I think Crytek needs to STFU. Theyve been running theyre mouth alot these past weeks.

for gods sake I love Crysis. Its one of my favourite games but I wish crytek(and their lead writer) would shut up for 5 minutes and work on their game.6matt6

Edit: It's funny how people only consider it 'running their mouth' when you don't agree with them.

Sure he is allowed an opinion. An informed one that doesn't make him sound like a presumptuous douche. To be honest its tiring when for the past week you hearing nothing but smack talk coming from a company.

[QUOTE="Mystic-G"][QUOTE="6matt6"] Actually I consider it running your mouth when all we have on the game is a teaser trailer and tech demo's. I hate any company who talk so much about their games with very little to show. Show me don't tell me. 6matt6

You guys realize he's speaking in general terms right? Why are you all getting bent out of shape?AAllxxjjnn

He's way off base. "Gamers" will say your game sucks before they've even played it.

PC gamers do it too.

I think console gamers are more often 10 years old and PC gamers are usually... older than that.stiggy321

You can't possibly be serious. :|

[QUOTE="AAllxxjjnn"]You guys realize he's speaking in general terms right? Why are you all getting bent out of shape?6matt6

and you are making comments when you fail to understand the context and have no idea what he was even speaking about, because you read a terrible, biased article.

The interview this was from was mostly about how they have "streamlined" the game. Console gamers in general want faster paced, action-oriented gameplay and demand that a game hooks them in the first minute or so of gameplay. The comment was about how, no matter how long a developer spends making a section of a game, if it doesn't immediately do something for them from a gameplay perspective, they won't be interested in it. That is a generalization, but it happens to be supported by a number of studies.
