Crytek looking for PSP programmer - Image 1 


Months after reporting a vacancy for a PlayStation 3 programmer within the ranks of Crytek, we now hear that the developer's Budapest studios (in charge of developing PC-exclusive Crysis Warhead) is looking for a developer who specializes in PlayStation Portable (PSP) game development.

Does this mean Crytek's looking to Crysis on PSP? We won't go far to say that, but we can guarantee you that it's to expand game development to Sony's PSP.

And we could certainly speculate that, because the search for a PlayStation 3 programmer in Frankfurt a year before was actually in angled toward developing a "Next Generation GameFramework" based on CryEngine 2.

What makes this new job opening particularly interesting is that while the position is offered at a different studio, it's also in the same studio that's currently fleshing out a much improved, or shall we say, "new" version of Crysis - minus Nomad.

But we won't keep jumping to conclusions here. We all know that if anything is transpiring toward a Crysis port on any platform other than Windows, we're bound to hear more of it soon. Let's keep our eyes peeled and glued to this space just in case anything new develops.

Lets see. You cant get the same graphics on a psp.

Hmmm... whats left of crysis if you take away the grapics?



Story? No.

Gameplay? Not even close.

Multiplayer? Not really.



Ok, the dumb AI maybe.



Crysis is just a game like "Hey, I've got amazing graphics but no Story, Gameplay and challenging AI. You need to buy a 2000$ PC to play with almost highest details. Buy me!"



And what happend after they saw that crysis didnt sell good? Blaming piracy instead of realizing that Crysis has gameplay like a 10$ Shooter and that almost nobody can play it.



By the way. Crytek already stopped support of Crysis. No more patches despite the fact that there are bugs/exploits that ruin the multiplayer part (which is weak anyway).

And instead of fixing it they work on this warhead stuff.

Like "Weve got you money. Now we dont care that you encounter an exploiter on every server. But give us your money again and buy Warhead (which wont even get a single patch before we drop the support)!"

Agreed I was thinking of the same thing. They should take homebrew experts.

» yeah

those guys were homebrew masters, theyre homebrew could have been like a gameboy advance game. And with just a bit of training and better resources and supplies, the good be future game developers.
