crysis-1.3 posts

We have finally made it to Los Angeles to begin our coverage of E3 2010. We decided to make a quick flyby to the city's Convention Center. While our E3 2010 coverage won't really start until Monday we wanted to give you a look at the outside and a tiny bit of the inside of the LA Convention Center as the massive game banners are being painted or hoisted up on the walls.

As you can see there are a lot of games getting the big banner treatment this year including Crysis 2, Fallout New Vegas, Call of Duty: Black Ops and more. Indeed the banner for Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is so massive we couldn't get it all in one picture.

Stay tuned as we have a ton of E3 2010 coverage planned at Big Download including exclusive interviews concerning some major PC games that won't be shown at the show (hint hint). In the meantime check out the gallery of E3 2010 game banners in the gallery below.

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.
