1UP: I loved Crysis on the PC, and I think I might actually like it more on the consoles. After playing around with a preview build for thirty-minutes or so, I'm astounded that Crytek managed to fit the controls and powers from the original game onto a gamepad in such an intuitive way. By mapping the armor and stealth abilities to shoulder buttons à la Crysis 2, and integrating other powers like speed and power jumping into their respective functions -- e.g. you hold jump button longer to jump high instead of switching to a special mode to do so -- Crytek has smoothed out the slightly clunky controls of the original. It's actually easier to switch between powers now. Crysis plays better on consoles, but given the graphical reputation of the original, the real question is "how does it look?"
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?"
Well that's interesting, they took Crysis 2 suit controls and brought them to Crysis 1, I suppose they would work much better for a controller than the original Crysis 1 nanosuit controls which was heavy on middle mouse clicking.
I guess hes entitled to his opinion, but no just no. The way the controls worked in crysis 2 was horrible compared to the original. And the graphics look like a pc game ported to console... you see 5 feet in front of you with an fov of 50 and depth of field on 90% of the screen. Of course im exagerating some, but not that much.
I may actually try this out, only $20 not bad.
I don't understand why so many people have issues with the PC controls in Crysis. What is wrong with you noons, they were so easy and quick to use!
It maybe good , but better ??? LMAO as if :P
