A racing mode is planned, but for now you can enjoy a match of Capture the Core – basically, Capture the Flag in space. Arena Commander also lets you explore space in a free flight mode with no enemies around, or drop into a single-player mode known as Vanduul Swarm, where you can square off against the computer with AI-controlled wingmen. Thanks to this addition pilots could take ships out into space and pit them against AI opponents or other players to see who’s the better ace pilot.
The lawsuit also states that “ utterly failed to follow through on those promises, and their actions and omissions constitute breaches of contract and copyright infringement and have caused substantial harm to Crytek.”Ĭrytek’s complaint also states that CryEngine was used for another game – the upcoming standalone Squadron 42 – while CIG also failed to collaborate and in doing so shared Crytek’s code with other parties in direct violation of confidentiality agreements.Īfter Hangar came the Arena Commander Module – basically a dogfighting module. The lawsuit, filed in California, claims that CIG “promised, among other things, (i) to use the CryEngine game development platform exclusively and to promote that platform within the video game, (ii) to collaborate with Crytek on CryEngine development and (iii)( to take a number of steps to ensure that Crytek’s intellectual property was protected.” Then CIG switched from CryEngine to Amazon’s Lumberyard, an engine based off the same tech found in CryEngine after Amazon bought the technology to save a faltering Crytek.īecause CIG made the switch to Lumberyard, Crytek is wheeling out a lawsuit against them. As Kotaku puts it the relationship between the two went sour as Crytek began to lose money and staff left to join CIG’s Frankfurt office instead. CIG also worked with Crytek to help along with marketing and a few other bits and pieces here and there. Initially, CIG and Crytek had been working together on the development of Star Citizen with CIG using Crytek’s CryEngine to develop the game.
