Crysis 2’s lead producer Nathan Camarillo has spoken out about the game’s recent leak, saying that the version leaked – an incomplete build of the game from sometime last month – is a “really ugly” one, and not at all representative of the final product.
With the try-before-you-buy crowd hitting the Crysis 2 torrents, it’s not exactly surprisingly the dev is a bit worried.
“Piracy is a real concern,” he said (via The Average Gamer). “The PS3 has been cracked now as well and people are downloading PS3 games and 360 games are being downloaded so that’s a threat to just the industry in general. For us specifically, it was a very traumatic experience because we’re really excited about the game and the quality that we were able to get into it and what we were able to accomplish… …We’re at the end and we’re really excited about where we’re at and your game gets leaked. And it’s not even that the final version of the game gets leaked, you know?
“People are like ‘It’s 40/45 days before launch, Crysis is leaked’ but that build was already from the middle of January. With 250 people working on a project, thousands of bugs get fixed in a heartbeat. So that version is like a really ugly version that we don’t want anyone to see… …[someone] posted the first 25 minutes of the game and there’s some really important story in there that we wanted people to experience for the first time when they can continue to play the game for another hour or so after that.”
