Crysis Warhead interview with Bernd Diemer from Crytek with Gamespot, This is wat he told:-
Q:Is Crysis Warhead developed by your budapest studio?
A:Yes, Warhead is the first project developed by Crytek Hungary, its very exciting for us that it is the first title coming out from one of the independent studios we have, its also one of the reasons that warhead kinda grew overtime, at first we started developing warhead only as an expansion pack,but we had so much fun developing it with the budapest guys, so now its a standalone game and u don't need Crysis to play Crysis warhead
Q:Is it a sequel or not a sequel or a true-sequel?
A:We call it a new installment, it fills in the time-gap in the original Crysis. If u r familiar with Crysis, then u know that during the assault level, Physco assists u as a sniper, then at the end of the level, he gets called from central command to go on a different mission, then at the end of crysis u see him sitting at the carrier deck with this big a** alien exosuit and he tells u "You wouldn't believe what happened to me mate". And Warhead tells that part of the Crysis's story.
Q:What will be the gameplay length of Warhead?
A:Its difficult to say in a sandbox game,it just depends on how u play, i'd say its a little shorter than the original Crysis
Q:How will be the gameplay of Warhead?
A:When we were designing warhead, it all revolved around the character of Physco(Sikes). He is very brash,very loud, a bit aggressive and Physco really likes to blow up stuff, so in some areas we go a bit away from the normal infantry gameplay style of the Original Crysis and add a lot of player exposure to the environments.....so the gameplay of Warhead will be ten times as much intensive as the original Crysis
Q:Is the nanosuit of Physco stronger than Nomad's?
A:The nanosuit is still core to the crysis trilogy, its one of the feature IPs that we are very proud of, but we did made a few enhancements to the behavior of the Nanosuit in Crysis Warhead to cope with the character style of Physco.
Q:Is Warhead releasing for the consoles?
A:An inevitable question but i have to say, No. Warhead is for PC only
Q:What are the mission specifics that u can talk about in Warhead?
A:There will be an escort mission, but its not like a original Crysis were u were stuck in the gunner position, In warhead, u can get out of the vehicle at any time. There will be a level completely in Ice which will be a bit larger and sandbox style than Crysis.Also there are a few areas which we designed specificially for Warhead which looks gorgeous.
Q:What will be System requirements for Warhead?
A:We were not announcing the official requirements yet,But the original Crysis had a lot of bad rep for being very resource-hungry, so what we did is gave our engine wizards a PC and told them "Look, this is a PC, it costs 600$, make sure warhead runs on it and it runs on it really well". So i'd say, if Crysis runs on your PC at med-settings then warhead will surely run @ high-settings, "Because we've really put a lot of effort in to optimizing the engine".
Q:What can u say about the multiplayer component in Warhead?
A:Warhead features a completely a new multiplayer component, while not completely new, we did put a lot of new and exciting features in there, at first we thought of releasing the multiplayer component as a standalone game, but in the end we thought it'll be wise to put it along with warhead. The multiplayer component is called "Crysis Wars"
