Navnet Albert Hughes siger dig muligvis ikke noget. Han har dog været med til at skabe From Hell og Book of Eli, og er nu ved at lave en lille videoserie sammen med Crytek, der skal vise det kommende Crysis 3 frem. “The 7 Wonders of Crysis 3” kommer serien til at hedde, og den vil introducere fjender, våben, områder og nye gameplayelementer. Vi har en lille teaser fra serien, og allerede nu kan vi mærke en Gears of War-lignende stemning, hvilket absolut ikke er dårlig, da Epics voldelige spilserie har leveret nogle fantastiske trailere. “The 7 Wonders of Crysis 3” starter med første video den 12. december. Crysis 3 udkommer til PC, Xbox 360 og Playstation 3 den 19. februar.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.- – Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) and award-winning developer Crytek GmbH today announced a creative partnership with renowned filmmaker Albert Hughes to produce an online video series inspired by the upcoming sandbox shooter, Crysis 3. Entitled, “The 7 Wonders of Crysis 3”, this cinematic series will set the stage for this latest installment in the Crysis series and introduce weapons, enemies, and gameplay features new to the franchise. These cinematic shorts will also showcase the stunning visuals, dynamic environments of the urban rainforest and intense adaptive warfare fans can expect when Crysis 3 ships on February 19, 2013 in North America and on February 21 in Europe.

“When EA and Crytek approached me about being involved in creating ‘The 7 Wonders of Crysis 3’ video series, I liked the idea of creating emotional stories using only computer generated images,” stated Albert Hughes. “The challenge of producing something intensely human without ever seeing a human on screen was incredibly compelling, and the technology of the CryENGINE that Crytek developed enabled me to do that and venture into a completely unique medium of storytelling.”

At 20 years old, filmmaker Albert Hughes shot to stardom when he and his twin brother, Allen, wrote and directed the seminal film, Menace II Society. Albert then went on to co-direct such critically-acclaimed films including Dead Presidents, From Hell andBook of Eli. For “The 7 Wonders of Crysis 3” video series, Albert was intimately involved with the development team at Crytek, writing the scripts, storyboards and shot plan for each video that was created entirely using in-game assets powered by Crytek’s revolutionary CryENGINE® 3 technology.

  1. #3 Ja især deres græs-teknologi er imponerende. At kunne lave flere tusinde blade på skærmen samtidig, og samtidig sørge for at de er dynamiske, på de “gamle” konsoller, det fortjener et pænt stort skulderklap.

  2. Jeg håber da, det bliver godt, men jeg kan ikke lade være med at høre Albert Hughes udtalelse som “The collaboration between me and EA and Crytek came about, because EA threw piles of money in my face.”
