Crysis is a helluva game, there's no doubt about that. Whether you like non-stop action or stealth sneak-kills, it's a game you can easily play your way. But it's also a bold technology demo for an astoundingly complex and powerful game engine that Crytek is hoping to license out to the wider game developer community.
Bernd Diemer poured a lot of blood, sweat and pixels into the development of the game and engine – see what he has to say on the engine's future and on some of the design challenges presented in creating such a detailed and destructible environment..
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?"
Engine is impressive, question remains how will it work on consoles?
Who cares? id Tech 5 is going to blow CryEngine 2 or Dunia out of the water. I bet people at Crytech and Ubisoft are already pulling their hairs out... and it works perfectly on any console as far as we know.
