Yerli: Crytek UK, nee Free Rad, focused on Crysis 2 multiplayer

http://www.vg247.com/2010/04/09/theres-several-online-functionalities-planned-for-crysis-2-says-yerli/

With Crytek making an amazing single player and Free Radical (Time Splitter devs) making the mp, this will be goty.

Only issue Crysis had was its MP and this won't be an issue anymore.

Crytek for epic SP

Free Radical for Epic MP

GOTY 2010 confirmed.

Yeah I think it was already posted but its all good.

All I know is I dont place faith in a game simply because of a devs past record. A game could be great or terrible but Im willing to wait and see what happens. Not to mention something like timesplitters and crysis are very far apart in how an fps plays out. It'll be interesting to say the least.

Yeah... see... unless they change the entire basis of Crysis as a realistic shooter, this won't be successful or good. Free Radical have always (except for Haze, which ironically killed them) been about arcade shooters. Their best games (Perfect Dark and TS2) were always about 60 fps of super-fast-paced action that didn't rely on crazy realistic physics or graphics... it was about goofing around with crazy stuff and having tons of fun. Look what happened with GTAIV when they went the "realism" route. It lost its "soul" that made it worth playing.

Granted, they could pull it out of their asses, but I'll believe it when I see it. I just want TS4 and Perfect Dark 2... but unfortunately, it will never happen. They've been farmed out and turned into the new Treyarch.

Guess you haven't played the HD remake. The game was well before its time. It needed much better technology to fully realize its potential. The N64 wasn't nearly enough (given that you couldn't even play SP without the extra RAM)... and even the PS2/GC/Xbox probably wouldn't have been enough. The remake is easily the best shooter I've played this gen... and it is a remake of a 10 year old game.

Is Free Radical really that great? The game has sort of passed it by, so to speak. The last good Timesplitters was like 6-7 years ago.

Yep, Mass Effect 2, Red Dead, God of War, Bad Company, Bayonetta, and Alan Wake are all out of the question, I suppose?

I'm not just talking about graphics, but the whole package. The game was well ahead of its time... and honestly is better than most shooters these days (when given the ability of 60fps). The mission design goes well beyond any shooter that's come out this generation, realism or no. The fact you are given the option to go back later on a higher difficulty and do MORE objectives, in and of itself trumps most shooters this gen. That's one thing I hated about Future Perfect, they dropped the increase of objectives on the higher the level from TS2.

Besides the horrible servers, glitchers, and unbalanced gameplay it was good! I got in a few good matches before the game severly pissed me off with glitchers, but what i did play was excellent.
