Crytek lead artist, Michael Khaimzon, speaking at the London Game Career Fair today, has described PC shooter favourite FarCry as "too stylized" compared to current FPS project Crysis.

"Three years ago it looked amazing," he said. "Now it's too stylized, too cartoony, the colours are far too much. With Crysis we went for realism."

The 15-strong art team currently working on Crysis – to be published by EA and a game guaranteed to stop any showfloor in terms of graphics – has been forced to go to extreme lengths to model jungle locations, including taking what Khaimzon described as "millions of photos".
