Crysis-Online: Q&A with lead designer Jack Mamais

Jack MamaisCrysis-Online was able to score an interview just recently with Jack Mamais, the lead designer for the upcoming Crytek-developed sci-fi FPS game for the PC, Crysis.

Crytek-Online says that this Q&A may just be the best one they've ever had, so you can imagine how extensive AND info-loaded the interview is. They were able to tackle everything from Jack's specific roles and responsibilities with regards to the development of Crysis, to the multiplayer modes, weapons, graphical customization, and tons tons more.

You've heard about how the game's AI system works, and we also told you about that sad sad news that the game will be delayed. And ever since that announcement, there haven't really been much news about how Crysis is coming along so far.

So imagine our joy when we came across this Q&A that answers all the basic game questions and more. Here's one cool snippet from the interview [when asked to describe gameplay aspects]:

Players will be able to jump out of helicopters and VTOLs while in flight. They must have a parachute (either provided for free or available for purchase in barracks) in order to survive the fall. Players can also quick exit vehicles in motion but this usually will not cause harm (unless the driver somehow runs over him!)
