Crytek are going to announce a huge license deal. Maybe it will reinstate the studio.

I think crytek is gonna announce a deal with a VR group. It makes since with wealthy companies like oculus(Facebook) and Valve. Plus the recent showing of Dinosaur island it seems they want to go in that direction.
Bioware, Visceral, Popcap, Ghost and DICE all use Frostbite. They spun out Frostbite studio from DICE specifically to support all the EA studios using the in house engine.

Where did that picture come from?
I wonder if EA is really going to make a Command&Conquer title soon.
Most of the former Westwood staff (C&C up to Red Alert 2) disbanded from EA over 10 years ago, and joined Petroglyph who just recently released Grey Goo.
Then, EA got rid of Danger Close, the studio who made Generals, C&C3 and Red Alert 3. They did that after the fiasco that was the always-online, let's-get-rid-of-everything-everyone-used-to-like-about-C&C, C&C4.
And then, EA got rid of the studio that was making a F2P C&C title.
So apart from the IP license, there seems to be little to nothing from C&C at EA.
Star Citizen is developed/published by Cloud Imperium. AFAIK they have nothing to do with Zenimax.What about Zenimax? Crytek mostly works for Chris Roberts now right?
Its from one of his early talks about Mantle. And no, I don't think C&C is in production anymore.

I did a little digging and that slide appeared in late September 2013. News of the F2P C&C arrived almost exactly one month later, in October. In November, EA stated that someone was still going to do a C&C game.
EA was forced to make that statement because some people started asking for refunds of the C&C Ultimate Collection, which supposedly was going to bring access for the Beta version of the 2013 game.

Right, I was making two different unrelated thoughts/questions. Sorry I did not split them up.
So you are working on this game called Star Citizen then?...Insider joke, you don't necessarily understand it.
No, but some friends. The world is small, really.
I thought about Star Citizen and Crytek. I'd assume they came up with some kind of deal or was the licensing cost written in stone? 5% of Star Citizen is ending up a very good deal for Crytek
The Star Citizen guys said they paid for the engine in full awhile ago so it didn't matter what happened to crytek.
I believe this is the first game on PS4 that uses the CryEngine... looks gorgeous too.

I stand corrected. Thanks.
Actually I think it looks rather crappy for a Cryengine title. Everything is static, none of the trees are moving. There's no splashing or wake in the water from the creature interactions.
Surely they'll add those in before release. I mean we're not talking about AF here.
Oh yes, I did it again!
