Crytek, the development studio behind the PC first-person shooter Crysis, is looking for someone to develop for the iPhone and iPad with experience of Android and Windows Mobile is a preference, a recent job posting has indicated.
The company is looking for someone with experience in designing and developing complex, integrated iPhone and iPad applications.
Crytek have seen on the App Store in the past, but Cevat Yeril, CEO of the company, felt the low pricing of apps and games distorts the perception of what a game should be priced at.iPad and iPhone are both doing a real disservice to the game rates to allow betting on such a low price point - there is a problem that the industry has to take at some point, he told Develop.
In light of Infinity Blade's recent success, an Unreal Engine-powered RPG that was released in the wake of an impressive tech demo, maybe Crytek is looking to make money in a market that definitely willing to pay more for graphically impressive, more immersive games.
Although it is clear Crytek is more serious look at mobile platforms, exactly why is not yet clear.
It would make sense for the company to licence its CryEngine graphics engine and / or create a game that would likely be Crysis, but we can not be sure.
Whatever happens, we are confident that in-game worlds by iPad and the iPhone is about to get much prettier.
