LEIPZIG, Germany and Singapore – August 26th, 2008 – The organizers of the GC Asia Conference (GCAC), today announced that Crytek CEO & President, Cevat Yerli, will give a keynote address on the future of gaming graphics. Known as a visionary for creating lush, immersive, graphical games with Far Cry® and Crysis®, Yerli will speak about the opportunities for immersion as graphical realism reaches new levels and technology continues to deliver faster processors capable of greater rendering. GCA and GCAC take place September 18-20, 2008, in Singapore at the Suntec International Convention & Exhibition Centre Singapore.

“The technology available today is light years ahead of what was generally available just five years ago,” said Cevat Yerli, CEO & President of Crytek. “Add those advancements to increasing technical expertise as we learn more about graphically creating immersive worlds, and the conditions are right to have graphics play a major role in telling the story of a game.”

“Cevat Yerli and Crytek are not only major names in Germany, but also the global video game market,” said Frank Sliwka, Conference Director of GCAC. “His keynote will be one of the highlights of the conference and I’m confident he’ll inspire the audience to view graphics as an element that is finally capable of telling stories on the level of cinema.”
