Crytek Introduces new Cryptocurrency, Crycash
There are a lot of news surrounding Cryptocurrency, the fickle mistress that keeps on changing. Crytek has realized that they can’t let the opportunity of jumping into the Cryptocurrency bandwagon slip by. As such, they have created a new ecosystem for their players called Crycash.
That’s right, folks, Crycash is a new cryptocurrency ecosystem designed with gamers in mind. This is also the name of the business that will be making a partnership with Crytek, a company known for the Cryengine Graphics Engine and the Crysis game series.
Crytek describes Crycash as an independent decentralized ecosystem of products for gamers fueled by an all-new, gamer-centric cryptocurrency. The new virtual ecosystem planned for gamers will consist of ur components fueled by the token (CRC) itself.
The Plink app will stand as the base pillar for the whole structure. Serving as a social network, a messaging and chat service, a task manager, and a CRC wallet. This cryptocurrency will see its first implementation in Crytek’s Free-to-play game Warface.
Now, some people might be worried that Crycash is a cryptocoin that will increase miner problems. However, while some cryptocurrencies can be earned via mining —having a computer work on and solve specific problems in exchange for tokens— CRC can be earned by completing in-game tasks. These tasks are assigned to players by developers via Plink, and once completed reward CRC.
Now, let’s go over the question about how much this new Cryptocurrency will be worth. According to Gamesindustry, CRC tokens will initially be offered from December 12 through January 15 for .001 Ethereum per one CRC.
At the time of writing, Ethereum costs $420.24 USD, so it’s easy to assume that CRC Tokens will cost $0.42 USD each. However, this price only applies to the initial offering, which also includes early and bulk buyer bonuses.
The Crycash Ecosystem will also include a marketplace where CRC can be spent on in-game items and even other games. There are also plans to establish an esports betting platform that deals in CRC by late 2018. The prize pools for Crycash-run tournaments would be subject to a 4% tax.
Crytek seems to be going all in for this sort of thing. But let’s remember that Cryptocurrency is very inconsistent. This hasn’t stopped miners from trying to easily acquire a quick buck and Steam has recently banned them as a method of payment. We’ll have to see how well this currency performs.
One player found an unusual way to roam Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s New York City as Venom again. However, intentionally crashing your game during a story segment requires nerves of steel, so we wouldn’t recommend it. Possible Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 spoilers!
UnderTheHood788 explained their method, which involves reaching a cutscene that switches players to Peter. They unplugged their PS5 when the screen blanked while switching to fidelity mode. As the game renders slower, fidelity mode was used. Players get Don’t Be Scared, a mission without an objective, after reloading the last save.
UnderTheHood788 advises, “Wait a bit and go to an unidentified target mission or talon drone mission to become Venom. Reload and become Venom, committing crimes against hunters, the flame, thugs, and even symbiotes. Bases are possible.”
If you like causing carnage, get a move on—Insomniac will spoil the fun in the next update. This indirect approach—what do you think?
On December 7, Ubisoft’s Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora hits PS5. Fans can expect new creatures, characters, and storylines that are influencing other Avatar projects as part of James Cameron’s canon.
Massive Entertainment director Magnus Jansén told IGN that the game’s new Western Frontier region—from plants to Na’vi clans—is now Avatar lore: “The Western Frontier is no less a part of the world of Avatar than what’s in the movies.” Jansén says one of their creations is in an Avatar exhibition, but most excitingly, “there is already some talk about maybe using some of the stuff that we did in the upcoming movies.”
Jon Landau, producer of the Avatar films, said: “I think clans are a perfect thing to someday try to weave into the movies. However, new environments follow. Go and say, “Okay, let’s explore what you did in the video game in the movie.” Frontiers of Pandora introduces the Aranahe, Zeswa, and Kame’tire Na’vi clans.
In addition, Lightstorm VP of franchise development Joshua Izzo teased: “I can say that there are going to be some future sequel elements in Frontiers of Pandora that will pay off when the movie comes out when Avatar 3 comes out in 2025. Because of ’25, careful Avatar fans may want to revisit certain things.
CD Projekt’s live-action Cyberpunk 2077 won’t arrive until 2025. In the company’s latest earnings call, the PM project was only mentioned as not expected in 2024.
During a call with IGN, chief commercial officer Michał Nowakowski stated that the company will continue to promote the game and develop the Cyberpunk IP through activities beyond the game.
Nowakowski said, “We’re not really discussing specifics here, but one of the obvious things that we have announced, not happening next year, but going to be developed or moved in the direction next year, is the project we have announced with Anonymous Content.”
Anonymous Content, which produced Crime & Punishment, True Detective, and Mr. Robot, seems like a good fit to bring Night City’s mean streets to life. We don’t know if the project will be a TV show, movie, game adaptation, or standalone story.
