A part of me is hoping that this all one big elaborate ploy to throw us all off and make us think that there's little to no hope for a sequel, and then Ryse 2 gets announced at Gamescom in Germany, which I think is where Crytek main HQ is located.

You really think a Ryse sequel would be worth such a PR stunt?

Three Frankfurt employees say they've watched Crytek co-founders Cevat and Avni Yerli continue to drive their Ferrari sports cars to work over the past few months, which one source called "a slap in the face" to employees who weren't getting paid on time. One former employee added that the company spent a ton of money on expensive chairs, laptop bags, and other studio perks, including first-class flight tickets for high-level employees.

Fucking scum. I hope the Yerli brothers crash and burn.

lol, why would they take such a negative PR hit (not paying staff), just to surprise announce a sequel? That's insane.

Wow, that is fucked. People like that are so out-of-touch with reality; they probably saw nothing wrong with themselves doing that either.

I wonder if Todd Papy will return to Sony Santa Monica.

Not sure why papy left in the first place.

While Nintendo's CEO's are willing to cut their own salaries to alleviate financial problems, these people ride in Ferrari's in front of their unpaid employees. What part of it is not scummy?

While Ryse had its fans I still dont think they made a good game since Crisis 1

They are definitely scums but hoping they would crash and burn is a little overboard.

i know you were probably joking.

Thing I forgot to tweet earlier this week about Crytek: apparently military contracts were never really lucrative for the company.

I don't know why any military would opt for a company like Crytek when Bohemia already has tonnes of assets and scenarios ready to go in things like Arma 1/2/3. As a base for military training stuff, I think the Arma offerings are closer to what a military would want, right down to a more realistic ballistics simulation with their small arms -- no doubt Bohemia would have to add and tailor make some assets and scenarios though. I don't know if Bohemia does stuff like this, but they'd seem like a more natural fit than Crytek.

Yup. They really screwed up that franchise.

Very true. It's a shame what they did to the sequels.
