Crysis as a work of art: an astonishing gallery of shots

PCGamer: Our friend and sometime contributor Duncan Harris is obsessed with what he calls real-time art: capturing the beauty of video games in vast, crisp screenshots unblemished by health bars and HUDs. He uses graphics mods, ultra-resolution textures and screengrabbing hacks to squeeze out every last pixel of detail, and nowhere to greater effect than with Crysis.

Damn it's an amazing piece of tech the CryEngine

Agent VX4793d ago

Yeap, this is a game from years ago, and still tops any game out there graphically.

Really goes to show how consoles with fixed hardware really limit what developers can do graphically.

Just imagine if console were not as popular, and the developers were still developing for PC, what kind of graphics we would have right now and in the near furture... Yeap, they would be amazing compared to what we have now.

But this isn't the world we live in, and we will have to wait until the new consoles are released to get any type of graphical jump from what we have now, really, really sad indeed.

Agree with you for the most part, although it looks like BF3 could be a fairly significant leap in terms of looks.

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.

TheColbertinator373d ago

Crysis blew my mind back then and still kinda does.

bunt-custardly373d ago

Let's hope the modders can get the other Crysis games working in VR as they use the same Cryengine.

Bioshock still looks fantastic, one of my all time favorites.

Yui_Suzumiya444d ago

Beyond: Two Souls on PS3 can compete with modern day graphics.

SonyStyled444d ago (Edited 444d ago )

Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3

jasonismoney444d ago

I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.

SonyStyled444d ago

@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

cthulhucultist444d ago

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

Fist4achin444d ago

I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.

SonyStyled444d ago

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

JEECE444d ago

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.

iNcRiMiNaTi444d ago

It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good

JEECE444d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.

Can It Run Crysis? The Only Steam Deck Question That Matters

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?"
