Expect annual releases of far Cry sequels then :p

And possibly toned down versions of Far Cry. I dunno how this is going to work out, seeing as the last "M"-rated game EA published was American McGee's Alice back in 2000. Since then, EA has taken a more water down approach to gaming, milking franchises for all their worth rather than making new ones (with the exception of BF:1942).

It'll be interesting to see what EA do with future MOHAA games, engine wise, seeing that Activision seem to be hogging sole rights to the engine usage (and the fact the DIII engine doesnt offer itself well to the MOHAA gameplay environment). Same thing goes for CoD II. Still, thats another matter entirely.

I sure hope EA doesn't mess with their( Cryteks ) ideas or success in what they are doing....being subjective....added creativity might be good or bad depending...

It might just be for reasons of more dollar input for developement or other similar business reasons...

Is EA not an English company by roots? Crytek being german...now that is real interesting indeed.
