I really hope they don't throw the Crysis franchise in the bin, it would be a damn shame. I don't even think Crysis 3 was bad, just the second one.

starchild3908d ago

I liked Crysis 3 too. The gameplay has a lot of strategy to it and it's always dynamic, and some of the set pieces are amazing, as are the graphics in general.

Vegamyster3908d ago

The series has lots of potential, they need to go back to their roots of the PC and go out.

starchild3908d ago

Agreed. I would like to see that too. Crysis 1 is still overall the best in the series for me.

Aurenar3908d ago

Crytek writes new standard for visual quality with every release. But they should start thinking of offering vanguard gaming experience, in par with that visual.

Alexious3908d ago

I'm sure that they would if they could. I have hope for Hunt: Gilded Horrors, though.

starchild3908d ago

Well, sure, they could improve in that area, so could all developers. But they have made some great games, at least in my opinion and the opinions of many reviewers.

The fact that they make fairly good games and push graphics tech further than just about any other developer easily makes them an asset to our industry.

I've been playing Ryse lately and it's just incredible how good this game looks maxed out on PC. No other game I have played on PC or any other platform looks that good. The gameplay isn't so bad as some make it out to be. I find it to be a pretty decent gameplay experience and the narrative and presentation are fantastic.

I look forward to playing their next game.

Ka7be3908d ago (Edited 3908d ago )

I played this game for around 1 hour and uninstalled it. Hated the gameplay and the animations. The way he walks/run is so awkward and funny!
But graphics are very good! one of the best.

hiredhelp3908d ago

I loved Ryse on pc visually stunning gameplay was good for what it was.

crazychris41243908d ago

They should go back to open world for Crysis 4

Remy_S3907d ago

I wish more people would use this engine, its one of the best looking around.

I really want to see a Crysis 4 with all the ray-tracing & path-tracing effects. It would be a shame if they canceled the project. Maybe they could do a kickstarter?

DF
" Crysis is something of a tentpole game series for us at Digital Foundry, with a reputation for being an early adopter of graphics technologies that would later define entire generations of PC and console video games. That includes the likes of screen-space ambient occlusion, sub-surface scattering and ray-marched volumetric lighting, but you could write volumes about just how ground-breaking that first game was "

isarai132d ago

I really hope they come out and push the industry forward like they used to. I miss old crytek

PrinceOfAnger130d ago

They all look disappointed by this news especially Alex

JEECE130d ago

Pretty sad that the studio that gave us a monumental game like Crysis is now subsisting on microtransactions from a live service PVPVE game.

Crysis 4 put "on hold" as developer Crytek is next studio hit by layoffs

Crysis developer Crytek is the next studio hit by layoffs, as it announces it's set to lose an estimated 15 percent of its 400 employees.

RaidenBlack138d ago

Why'd the day start with such sad gaming news?
Absolutely disheartening.

Jingsing138d ago

Maybe putting The Power Rangers in Hunt Showdown will get you some money back. (sarcasm)

Kassanova07138d ago

I'm always rooting for Crytek.

P_Bomb138d ago

I’m rooting for Crysis. Hope they work it out.

Crytek Wanted Crysis To Be "Future-Proof"

According to Crytek CEO Cervat Yerli, "I want[ed] to make sure Crysis does not age, that [it] is future proofed, meaning that if I played it three years from now, it should look better than today." Yerli and the team designed Crysis' highest graphical settings for the PC hardware of 2010 and beyond.

While Crytek has officially announced Crysis 4 is in development, nothing new has surfaced. For now, gamers' only way to scratch that itch is to play the Crysis Remastered Trilogy available on PC and consoles.

OG 2007 Crysis (not the remastered weirdo), is & will forever be a legend amongst the PC community.

PrinceOfAnger161d ago

This video will always be impressive to me, even for years to come. Some things here are better than games we have today, OG crysis is the best version!

RaidenBlack161d ago

OG Crysis physics, man ... amazing! Thanks for the reminder!

PrinceOfAnger160d ago (Edited 160d ago )

Looks really nice with VR mod too

FinalFantasyFanatic160d ago

I'm still shocked that it looks as good as it does today, puts some modern games to shame.

Profchaos159d ago

I thought the remaster was fine tbh some rough edges at launch but after some patches it's decent

I mean the lighting and physics still hold up extremely well. I still revisit it from time to time.

RedDeadLB160d ago

That CPU performance thing is preventing it.

isarai160d ago

Yeah unfortunately Crystek's decision to bet on the linear progression of clock speed in CPUs was derailed by the unforseen shift towards multicore CPUs. It just wasn't built with that in mind because that wasn't even in the conversation at the moment

DivineHand125160d ago

I remember when I tried to play Crysis with my Intel Pentium Dual core E2200 @2.2GHz , 4GB ram and GeForce 9400gt. I was a kid back then and that was the best I could do. I would get about 15 to 20 fps. When I over clocked the CPU to 2.8GHz I would get about 40fps. The experience wasn't good at all and it was the only PC game I could not run back then unless and put the settings on low. At that point the game went from cutting edge graphics to PS2 graphics. To this day I haven't completed the OG Crysis. I was able to complete Crysis 2 and 3 after building a new PC when I got my first job.

HyperMoused160d ago

Never played it, worth a try you think?

Profchaos159d ago (Edited 159d ago )

Worth a try just because it's the only game that lets you pick up a turtle on the beach and throw it at enemy soldiers that should have been a back of the box feature.

But nah seriously unless you're nostalgic for it I'm not sure if it will hold up
