Crytek: Halo Is Years Behind PC FPS

On October 5th, 2007 in Uncategorized -

After saying there’s a possibility of Crysis coming to consoles (see the post below), Crytek boss Cevat Yerli (pronounced “Chevat Yarli”, in case you didn’t know), says that Halo and console FPS games are years behind their PC based counterparts.

Here’s what he had to say about Halo 3:

No. I don’t want to talk bad about it. The trailer looked great. I know there are millions of people who love it. I tried to play Halo 1, I tried to play Halo 2. (laughs) I really didn’t get it. It didn’t get me, well I bought copies though. Again, conversely the Bioshock demo got me. It’s not that it’s not possible, but console shooters are at the level of PC shooters 5-6 years ago. The gameplay has to be more sophisticated—more thinking then shooting.

Yerli of course has a point – unlike Bioshock, Halo 3 didn’t bring anything new to the table in terms of first person shooters. But it sure as hell is selling a lot of copies.
