Yerli’s Germany based development studio Crytek has been responsible for the likes of Far Cry and Crysis, and his keynote address will focus on the future of gaming graphics.
"The technology available today is light years ahead of what was generally available just five years ago," said Yerli.
"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."
Conference director Frank Sliwka added, "Cevat Yerli and Crytek are not only major names in Germany, but also the global videogame market. 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."
GCAC will take place alongside the Games Convention Asia from September 18-20, 2008, in Singapore at the Suntec International Convention & Exhibition Center.
