Crytek: Graphics Are 60% Of The Game

Crytek: Graphics Are 60% Of The Game

Crytek has always pushed the visuals of its games but in the great graphics Vs gameplay debate, Cytek boss, Cevat Yerli, believes graphics win and actually account for ’60% of the game’ and its immersion.

The guys from xbox360 caught up with Cevat Yerli to ask him one of the most debated questions in the history of gaming…

Crytek boss Cevat Yerli is – like many whose stripes rank them well outside of PR influence – a man who speaks his mind.

When asked whether he feels better graphics mean better gameplay or not, his answer surprised us.

Why? Because finally, here’s someone using common sense to reach what is in our opinion the right answer to this question.

“People say that graphics don’t matter,” says Yerli, “but play Crysis and tell me they don’t matter. It’s always been about graphics driving gameplay.”

“In Crysis 3 it’s the grass and the vegetation, the way the physics runs the grass interact and sways them in the wind. You can read when an AI enemy is running towards you just by observing the way the grass blades.

“Graphics, whether it’s lighting or shadows, puts you in a different emotional context and drives the immersion.”

“And immersion is effectively the number one thing we can use to help you buy into the world.”

“The better the graphics, the better the physics, the better the sound design, the better the technical assets and production values are – paired with the art direction, making things look spectacular and stylistic is 60 per cent of the game.”

You may, of course, disagree with him.

A simple example of how wrong this guy really is.

Bought Prison Architect at the same time as Crysis 3

Got half way through Crysis 3 before getting bored, perhaps 3 maybe 4 hours max
Still playing Prison Architect and have so far logged over 90hours

he's not wrong.

You bought crysis 3 and probably paid more money than for Prison arch.

The main reason I played crysis was because of the graphics, t'was amazing to push my rig and be engolfed in beautiful graphics. I only played the game once lol. Crysis 2 was just too horrible to play.

Graphics doesn't mean anything, gameplay is all. Had he said 20% I'd agree.

Graphics = immersion, i concur with Cevat.
Last level of crysis 3 = total immersion.

Gotta agree on this one. Was damn pretty mind-blowing..

You could say it's 50% though, 50/50, I mean.. depends on the game of course. Where the world and immersion is more important, of course Graphics plays a bigger role (and sound).

Sounds like he's talking more about art direction than like "realistic graphics". I don't know about 60% but in a lot of games the art direction of the game definitely makes up a huge portion of it.

Well yeah.. exactly.

that's why their games suck.


Yea, you don't come back to play crysis 3 again, because it's just boring as hell. Sure it looks good, but that's not worth paying €60 for.
