Crytek logoWe catch up with Avni Yerli, Managing Director of Crytek, to get a sneak peak on what Crytek will be talking about and showcasing at GDC Europe, Aug 16-18, in Cologne, Germany.
----------------------------------
Interview:
Q: As you get ready to attend GDC Europe this month, tell me why you feel it's worth the time and effort and expense to participate.
Avni Yerli: After last year, Crytek is once again sponsoring Europe's biggest event for developers where they will see great innovations and fantastic tools and technologies -- and we are very proud of that. Crytek is once again going to have a large booth where we're showcasing the new version of CryEngine 3 that showcases our Stereo 3D cross-platform solution. In general, I believe that GDCE is a great platform for developers looking for exchange, education, inspiration, new businesses, networking, and, of course, the latest technology trends...

David Perry, CEO of Gaikai, talks cloud gaming and GDC Online rebranding
With an upcoming launch that is one of the most highly anticipated in recent memory, Dave Perry is one of the busiest men on the planet these days. We chat with the Gaikai Guru about cloud gaming technology, business models and the rebranding of GDC Online (formerly GDC Austin).

Interview:
Q: David, when most people think of the phrase "next-gen platform," they are most likely thinking about the PS4 and the Xbox 720. Should they also be thinking about "cloud gaming"?
David Perry: Not at all; cloud gaming isn't a platform. It's a technology solution that all devices that connect to the Internet can embrace.
I'll give you an example. Let's say you have a PC with a 3-year old Nvidia card. Using cloud gaming, I can stream onto that PC the latest games meant to run with the latest Nvidia card. So you are effectively experiencing new hardware as if you upgraded your computer even though we haven't made a single adjustment in the game. But it can run on your iPad, your Xbox, inside Facebook, anywhere that can accept streaming video. You can start playing a game on your iPad while you're eating your cornflakes in the kitchen and then walk into the living room and continue playing on your TV. That's the vision - the game goes with you wherever you go...
