The guys from ComputerAndVideoGames.com (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/) have recently posted up a new Crysis interview with art director Michael Khaimzon. Here's a portion from the article:
Did you get any inspiration from other games, movies and books for the art design in Crysis?
Khaimzon: I think we were pretty influenced by movies like Predator, Aliens - stuff like that. These are movies that inspire you no matter what project you work on. They have everything; they have aliens, they have predators, they have jungle, guys with big guns and muscles running around. So we have often looked at Predator I think, to compare the vibe of our game with the movie, it was a good reference for us.
For our Alien designs it was very hard because there is no movie that resembles even close the kind of aliens that we have. I mean, some people call them Sentinals because our aliens also fly and have tentacles but that's about the only connection we have between us and The Matrix.
The alien part of the game was very hard for us to work on, but other things like our Tahiti trip and Predator were good references.
