No more Crysis patches?

The folks at game developer Crytek had been posting up hints on some special major patch for their sci-fi shooter title Crysis in their last update. Well, things have apparently changed. In their newest update (and posted near the end) they state " . . . there almost certainly will not be a patch 1.3 delivered for Crysis." They don't go into any reasons for this move, saying only, " . . . we hope you understand when you hear more about the reasons why in the very, very near future."

That's not the only bad news in this update. Crytek announced that they have put a planned Linux dedicated server release on hold " . . . as we have a hard time getting the code to a state where it is stable and playable." Crysis multiplayer users have also been dealing with disconnect issues with GameSpy master servers. The Crytek dev team is working to fix these issues.

^ Agreed. Crysis is a great game but it is far from perfect in its current state. FarCry was given a long tail by a steady stream of hearty patches, it would be a shame for Crysis to not share that same legacy. Of course, with EA being the one pushing Crytek's buttons here, are we really surprised?

Any guesses as to what the reason for cutting off support might be? Are they going to blame the pirates again?Posted at 1:09PM on Jun 2nd 2008 by Steven Wong
