Based on the pics Crytek was going down a different route with Redemption

Exactly. Too many people are quick to make comparisons. The only similarities between the concept art and the last of us was a man of some age and a young girl.

It is really hard to judged what this game would have been like from these screens. I hope is wasn't cancelled because it wouldn't sell [for example] 5+million units

jungle jungle jungle...

crytek = jungle

kanetheking4684d ago

i guess you can say crytek loves bush =p

DoomeDx4684d ago

Because thats what their engine is good at.

also crysis 2 didnt have THAT much jungle.

Reverent4684d ago

Lots of green then? I was wondering why it seems like that's the only color in existence in their Crysis 3 videos. Maybe the jungle settings are just an excuse.

DoomeDx4684d ago

Idk. But ive soon alot of Cryengine 3 projects (Even messed with the SDK myself), and the engine is definatly great at vegetation. But that doesnt mean that its bad on the other things.

Look atwhat that Dice Employee made with Cryengine 3 during his spare time. I belive it was a halo 3 space ship interior

john24684d ago

@DoomeDx: Or the Bioshock level from Crytek's artist ;)

sandman2244684d ago

Good I hope they save the game for next gen.

It's allways dissapointing to see what could have been.

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 "

isarai126d ago

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

PrinceOfAnger125d ago

They all look disappointed by this news especially Alex

JEECE124d 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.

RaidenBlack133d ago

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

Jingsing133d ago

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

Kassanova07133d ago

I'm always rooting for Crytek.

P_Bomb132d 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.

PrinceOfAnger155d 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!

RaidenBlack155d ago

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

PrinceOfAnger154d ago (Edited 154d ago )

Looks really nice with VR mod too

FinalFantasyFanatic155d ago

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

Profchaos154d 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.

RedDeadLB155d ago

That CPU performance thing is preventing it.

isarai154d 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

DivineHand125155d 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.

HyperMoused154d ago

Never played it, worth a try you think?

Profchaos154d ago (Edited 154d 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
