One of the video-game industry’s long running jokes involves the first Crysis. Many gamers found it difficult to run Crysis, back when it came out on the PC. A few years later and Crysis 3 has just been announced. It certainly would not run on PCs from that time, but are there any striking differences when comparing it to Crysis 2?
It’s vital to start by saying that Crysis 3 will use an enhanced version of the “CryENGINE 3” engine. The development team promises it will result in even better visuals. The main character is still Prophet and the story starts twenty years after Crysis 2, in 2047. There’s a world domination plot and it’s up to Prophet to save the day. It’s the typical action plot with some sci-fi references to make it less generic.
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."
I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.
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?"
