THQ and CryTek Collaborate on Next Homefront

September 21, 2011 | | Xbox 360 News

THQ announced yesterday
that the developers taking up the Homefront reins for the sequel would
be none other than CryTek, developers of the highly-acclaimed Crysis
series. Considering how strong the
premise of Homefront was and the technological wizardry and experience that
CryTek boasts, it looks as though Homefront 2 could tick all the boxes
that made the first game a success while answering any criticisms that were
levelled at its graphical accomplishments and the length of its single player
campaign.

Robert Bowling, Infinity Ward’s Director of Communications and Community Manager for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, was recently asked how much he and his team concern themselves with competitive corporate bickering. Surprisingly, Bowling says, “Not at all, there’s no buy in on that sort of stuff. We don’t care about sales numbers, we don’t care about competition, we don’t care about beating anyone. Our 100 percent focus is making a game that we’re going to love to play, that we’re going to be proud of, and that we know that our fans are going to play. To us, we don’t care if there are three people playing it or 30 million people playing it. If there are three people having a great time then we’ve done our job correctly and we will be happy.”

Now Rayne rises from the dead as a downloadable 2D sidescroller.

Developer Affinity: Epic Games

September 17, 2011 | | Xbox 360 Features

It is often said that great things come from humble beginnings. In the case of the North Carolina-based
studio Epic Games, creators of the
seminal Unreal Engine (used in a dizzyingly large number of modern videogame
titles) and the hugely successful Gears of War series, those
beginnings were very humble indeed. The
brainchild of Tim Sweeney, founded in 1991 in Rockville, Maryland, started life
with a simple game creation engine for DOS called ZZT and soon became known for
creating popular shareware titles such as Jazz Jackrabbit, which spawned a
sequel and was named “Arcade Game of the Year” by PC Format magazine in 1995.
