Crysis has some relative value I think, that would def be gobbled up on a IP sale and Timesplitters would probably find a home(on the very cheap). Outside of MS getting it pratically for free I dont see anyone going after Ryse.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
i wanted a Ryse sequel so fuckin bad
You'll most likely get one, just not one developed by Crytek. Ryse 2 a Rare game?

The stories posted in the other thread about how Crytek handled CE's licensing makes it really clear why it isn't being adopted. You'd think that they'd be doing everything they can to secure support for the engine given how Epic dominates the market, but it seems like they instead made it even easier for Epic to receive more support.

Co-op chariot racing with Ben Hur DLC though.
I wouldn't say having a historical setting makes it generic. We hardly have a mountain of action titles set in ancient Rome or set in the forests of England and the story has enough unique touches to stop it from falling into a generic or dull trap.
Well, the characters and story would be lost. I'm intrigued by and want to know more about the Gods and what their end goals are. We see some wheels are already in motion at the end of the first game, a sequel would build on that and maybe even bring Marius back...

Finally, the Kinect Ryse game!

Well going by what someone said in another thread. It is because they don't give you the source code (can't modify the engine), poor documentation, poor support, and limited tools. I could be wrong about one or all of those. No source code would probably be the biggest deal breaker for most capable developers as a lot like to heavily modify the engines they buy.

Sucks for the employees affected by this at Crytek. Sucks for the gamers because there will be no Ryse sequel. Sucks all around
Ryse was one of the better launch titles.

Could Sony or MS buy them and make their games exclusives? Imagine Ryse 2 a PS4 exclusive.
They do some stuff for the military, not just commercial games. But yeah, Crytek is fucking huge.

Why? Because it has so much potential?
This would be stupid because PlayStation already has God of War which is infinitely superior to Ryse lol.

Once they start paying not on time its usually a quick road to not paying at all.
If I was a Crytek employee I'd be brushing up on my resume.

I hate you.
I hyped myself into a frenzy that we'd get chariot racing as DLC...
It's why I want a sequel, we need chariot racing. It's should be a crime to release a game that features a gladiator arena multiplayer but not have any chariot racing.
.
Either way it's the best time for other companies to poach if they need some people, imo.

Most signs are pointing toward Wargaming (World of Tanks dev) being the frontrunner for buying them.

Sony or MS should make sure Hunt and Arena of Fate come out on their console.
No, they don't need any distractions from making long overdue sequels to their own IP.
GoW2 sure, GoW 3 maybe. GoW:A no.
Yes in fact it does.

That would explain why Homefront gameplay last E3 was Xbox gameplay (or at least PC with Xbox button prompts) despite the fact that there was no apparent MS moneyhat of any sort.
Sony needs an iconic FPS like Crysis if that's up for sale.

Sony SMS working on it would be pretty amazing. Not sure who would be a great Dev studio on MS side though.

Potential for what? The IP is a big pile of nothing.

Good work as always JoJo
It's tough to find a job for a variety of reasons in this particular situation: some people have families they don't want to uproot; some don't have the experience needed for a studio to pay most/full relocation fees (some studios don't cover relocation at all); some may be holding out for bonuses that get voided if they leave (I think, depending on how their bonuses work); the countries they currently work in may not be stable environments for any/all other studios there; all of their Crytek colleagues are probably looking for jobs as well, meaning the job market is temporarily over-saturated with candidates looking for new positions at other studios.
Add that to the precarious situation a lot of them are in right now if they don't have an emergency savings fund since they've not been paid in months or in full. Some of them might be broke or, better than that, living paycheque-to-paycheque and waiting on money they're owed.

But they got the gameplay so right at the first time
A sequel made by the same team, getting tons of content, and adding more depth on the game other than combat would make it really awesome.

Clamoring for one of the worst next-gen games out there is pretty odd. Ryse was highly regarded as trash with a pretty face.
Why are we rewarding teams for making such games like that? Just call it what it was. A pretty tech demo with no depth or real gameplay value. Crytek may actually learn from mistakes if they weren't getting ass kissed with every product they release.

The fighting system is a lot of fun if they tweaked it correctly it could be really great.
A lot of people did liked ryse.
They got bit by the f2p bug when they saw how much money it was making for some companies. The problem is they ignored that it wasn't working for everyone, and especially the majority, and they seemingly sealed their fate when they staffed their f2p projects like AAA games. There's a reason why the ROI on the most successful f2p titles is as high as it is, and it's not because of those games having 50-100 staff working on them.
Done heard it all now, brehs.
Opinions and all that, I get it, but some of the Ryse love around here is insane to me. The Heavenly Sword comparison is spot on.

Hope MS finds a way to keep Ryse 2 alive. I'd be really disappointed if a sequel never ended up being made.

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Please don't flop! Please don't flop!
If they have to start cutting a tail to survive please don't close down Crytek UK! Close anything you like Crytek just don't touch the Timesplitters guys.

MS never "scrambles". Ever.
MS invests and if there's money to be made then they'll buy it for the sake of fleshing out their portfolio.
Sometimes they'll buy stuff for no reason.
You have to think of it like this... when investing in new IP... is it better to make a ton of new games while carrying all the financial risk with IP ownership... or better to take some of the financial risk with no ownership but with exclusivity? (essentially cementing the title as an Xbox game)
MS easily saved more than the money they paid for Gears when making other games under more safe contracts.
MS used to throw tons of money around, taking all risk with ownership with OG Xbox... and that lead to a lot of expensive duds. Ended up great for gamers because developers would line up to make games for free... but ended badly for MS bottom line.
