Various online sources tracking back to German publication Die Welt, which has been on target with many of its game-related reports recently, state that publisher Electronic Arts is looking to acquire Far Cry and Crysis developer Crytek. EA is currently handling publishing duties on the extremely graphically ambitious Crysis. Given EA's frequent acquisitions of companies whose products it publishes, such a move had already been widely speculated. According to Die Welt, EA publishing executive Gerhard Florin noted that the German studio is an attractive candidate for acquisition.

Unsurprisingly, representatives from EA initially declined to comment on the news. However, now, speaking to GameSpot, the publisher has bypassed the "no comment" routine and gone straight to an outright denial. "Gerhard Florin's comments were misinterpreted," claimed an EA representative. "EA is not in negotiation for the acquisition of Crytek." Given the direct response, it is likely safe to assume that nothing is in the works, at least for now. Of course, depending on how Crysis sales figures pan out, that could always change.

Which new technologies in Crysis would you say are most important in terms of new gameplay?

Cevat Yerli: I think the most important gameplay technologies are actually our breakable physics. It allows us to shatter things and break vegetation and model recoil damage, those make a huge impact on gameplay. The other aspect is soft cover and soft physics, to be able to represent motion throughout the jungle, that's very important for gameplay as well. Of course, things like motion blur add to the cinematic feeling, to the drama and the fear level, especially for the aliens, it amplifies speed and gives you the impression that they are moving very fast. It makes an impressive difference and you perceive the enemy differently as a result as well.
