"Expansion packs are a dirty business. They're on par with our biggest pet hate; paid downloadable content. It's substance that shoud've been in the game in the first place, but was either omitted due to time constraints or for future monetary pilfering. Crysis: Warhead is fooling no one here and we're warning you to stay vigilant."
Holger Frydrych has just released a cool VR Mod for the 2007 version of Crytek's first-person shooter, Crysis.
Playing it right now looks amazing! :D
so much fun, i hope they make a vr mod for crysis 2 / 3 too!
This is amazing. This is the direction VR should go in to boost adoption. Since I have beaten every Crysis except 1, this is now a good excuse to correct that problem.
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.
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!

I'm still shocked that it looks as good as it does today, puts some modern games to shame.
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.
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
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.
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
"The shader work that came out of this was mind-blowing at times."
Amazing, often misunderstood
The dumb AI was deliberate, so that the players can explore and experiment with the world and all the features.
It really is. Most people only remember it for its graphics but the gameplay was equally amazing.
Well worth the extra work ! I enjoyed all 3 Crisis games and would also love a new one .
Still wish game development was overall this passionate and minutious about their projects. Obviously, there are still some great studios as exceptions.
I’ll never forget Far Cry 2 and the amount of details they packed in.
Yea there were some issues with the gameplay loop and the sickness aspect but you could tell they really tried to nail details.
I haven't beaten the first Crysis but I did play Crysis 2 and Crysis 3. I know some PC players were annoyed by the last 2 games being developed with consoles in mind but I believe it was an improvement. I had a great time with Crysis 3 to the point where I believe it was too short.
Just like how gears 2 isn't needed
It's better than nothing and if you don't want it, you're not forced to buy it. Expansions have been a great part of PC gaming for a long time. This one would be called a ''sand alone'' expansion.
Now please STFU, mister article writer. No one loves you and you were adopted. :)
No seriously it's true that it looks the same. But if they were returning to the island in Crysis 1, what the hell would you want them to do?
yes, making crysis warhead a full retail game would possibly boost interest and sales, but for the people who are looking at crysis warhead already have the original or are looking for a substantial upgrade to lay down some ill graphics are going to buy the original. they give away crysis in some gpu's anyways. and there is also torrents
its a stand alone game and not an expansion different character storyline in the same timeline.
The author of the article doesn't know it's a $30 game. You can't complain about that. You can call it an expansion all you want it's priced as one. I'll still enjoy this "expansion". I loved Crysis!
