Gamesradar has gone on and on (and on) about Crysis' PC-hurting hardware specs. They've played through a chunk of the game and relayed their opinions. In fact, by now, you might be a little bored of hearing about Crytek's high-powered shooter. In which case you might have ignored the recently released singleplayer demo - which would mean you'd be missing out on probably the best demo ever. Really, they've never had so much fun with a demo. And here's why...
1. It starts real strong
2. It's full of beauty
3. You can attack people with chickens!
4 You can throw people through buildings!
5. Crytek has delivered on total destruction
6. The only limit to fun is your imagination
The embedded videos are in sequence with each of the reasons stated above and the their justifications are in the article.
A Crysis VR mod is now available for download, allowing users to experience the first entry in the series in VR
No one cares. The whole can it run Crysis is old, dead and stupid. It's also irrelevant, considering only less than one percent of pc owners, own a high-end PC. Second, I believe Crysis wasn't even optimized properly.
Let's hope the modders can get the other Crysis games working in VR as they use the same Cryengine.
GF365: "There are some games with extraordinary visuals that impress us to this day. Here are old games with outstanding graphics."
Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3
I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.
@jason I watched some gameplay videos of KZ2 and R3 on my full screen. They are on par or succeed graphically to the first person shooters mentioned in the article that also launched on the seventh generation of consoles. Try the same and see what you think
Killzone 3 was super impressive! I could not believe the graphics back then as I was regularly pausing the game to stand in awe looking at the surroundings! Resistance however did not impress me that much. Heavy rain is also another amazing graphically speaking game. It almost felt next gen
I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.
They did for their day. I recently played gears judgement with on the 360 and the draw distance was so blurry. The characters up close look great though
Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.
It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good
Digital Foundry: "When Alex Battaglia got his hands on a Steam Deck, this was inevitable, right? So can the Steam Deck really run Crysis? And if so, what type of optimised settings produce the best performance? What's the best balance of features and battery life... and what about 60fps?"
Aren't all demos supposed to give you a good taste of an upcoming title?
whether or not you believe that or not is fine, its personal choice. i think crysis is without doubt the most 'complete' game ive ever played.
plus, due to the games levels 'open nature' you could easly spend 20 hours playing through it, i managed to get a good 2 hours of just the first level (demo).
This demo's most strong point is including sandbox2(editor tool).
You can easily spend times to fun with it and then release date coming :D
it's a wonderful game
as the mighty_douche said, you can easily spend 2 hours on this demo. I did too!
It surprised me as to how truly open-ended the gameplay is. You never have to infiltrate an encampment the same way.
This game is awesome. I can't wait to fight those aliens too. :P
