Revisiting Crysis, did it really deserve the hype?

TVGB's Chris King: "I'm sure I can safely say that I've been in the same predicament as most other PC gamers out there have for the last year or so. That is, up until the last month I'd been happily making do with a video card that was two generations old already (GeForce 7950 GT to be exact). To be honest, there wasn't a single game it couldn't play at a respectable frame rate with pretty much all details turned to high."

Killzone 2 "killed" my want/need for Crysis on the PS3. If it comes I`ll play it, I might even buy it. But, it doesn`t excite me like it did before.

To answer the question, for graphics, YES.

Mercutio5971d ago

Crysis, was a bad game, with technology it didn't deserve, if the PS3/360 had the same power bestowed upon them, imagine what MGS4 or BanjoKazoei would look like!

gaffyh5971d ago

The gameplay mechanics weren't up to scratch but Crysis is still the best looking game ever made so far (especially if you max out all settings, but when i did that the game ran at 2fps lol).

Timesplitter145971d ago

I thought the game was great. The action and freedom were simply fantastic and the story was really engaging with some of the most cinematic moments I've seen to date (like the vehicle convoy section when you get the rail gun, or the boat)

I think people can't accept the fact that good graphics don't mean bad gameplay. Crysis does a great job in both.

DARKKNIGHT5970d ago

NO.

the one award crysis did not receive, "most overrated game of 2007".

Will-UK5971d ago

its kinda short and i didnt like the ending but the games alright

MK_Red5971d ago

The game was decent but not among best FPS games of 2007 and definitly not among the best overalls even though some crazy sites like GameSpot gave it 9.5s and such.
Pretty decent game which was rather average without it's stunning graphics. Gameplay was copy of Far Cry but less fresh and aside from inside alien ship level, it was pretty boring and level design was almost dated.

It's an average to mediocre game compared to Orange Box, BioShock or COD4 but on it's own, Crysis is decent.

Will-UK5971d ago

the alien ship level(Core)was very boring and wasnt needed

ShiftyLookingCow5971d ago

The sum of all the parts in Crysis is certainly not nearly good as I myself hyped it to be. Graphics is awesome and I think the author is exaggerating AI issues but the whole just doesn't deserve a 9.5.

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.

TheColbertinator532d ago

Crysis blew my mind back then and still kinda does.

bunt-custardly532d ago

Let's hope the modders can get the other Crysis games working in VR as they use the same Cryengine.

Bioshock still looks fantastic, one of my all time favorites.

Yui_Suzumiya603d ago

Beyond: Two Souls on PS3 can compete with modern day graphics.

SonyStyled603d ago (Edited 603d ago )

Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3

jasonismoney603d ago

I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.

SonyStyled603d ago

@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

cthulhucultist603d ago

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

Fist4achin603d ago

I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.

SonyStyled603d ago

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

JEECE603d ago

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.

iNcRiMiNaTi603d ago

It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good

JEECE603d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.

Can It Run Crysis? The Only Steam Deck Question That Matters

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?"
