Carl Jones speaks on games piracy
Role Playing Games piracy is a too much debated topic these days and Carl Jones of Crytek said recently that the licensing a PC only engine was in fact made difficult in past few years because of the PC piracies.
He said that it was difficult because of the changing nature of the gaming market. For this reason the developers and publishers have over the past few years moved away from making such titles. As an aftermath, console middleware has been more widespread than the PC focused technology like that of CryENGINE 1 and 2.
Carl Jones continued further that the new CryENGINE 3 from Crytek has been of taking complete advantage of the multi-core systems. He added that gamers will be getting great performances in the new CryENGINE 3 on the dual-core and quad-core CPUs.
If it is upgraded then gamers will see more performance of the CryENGINE 3. Jones said that while developing the engine they had been working hard on solutions that enable phenomenal looking games on low as well as on high end. Hence, upgrading is not required for getting good results from CryENGINE 3 games.
Piracy Hurts PC-Only Games
It is widely known that Crysis 2 will be made available for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. The game has more potential sales but still there is another pressing reason that Crytek went this direction.
Recently in an interview the Director of Business Development and Engine Licensing for Crytek, Carl Jones, said some of the most important things about the process of delivering Crysis 2 to the console owners. When he was about the new CryEngine 2 and also about the licensing that went along with it, he said that licensing a PC-only engine was difficult in the last few years because of the changing nature of the market.
He also added further that piracy hurt PC-only games in terms of sales figures too much. For this reason the developers and publishers have moved away from making such titles.
Carl Jones mentioned more: “As a result, console middleware was more widespread than PC focused technology such as CryENGINE® 1 and 2, but we have had some great successes and developers are working on great looking games that will launch soon, that started out on earlier versions of CryENGINE®. We’re happy with the quality we achieved, but circumstances limited the quantity of licensees we signed up. That won’t be an issue with CryENGINE® 3!”
