Gameumentary: There’s a moment in the beginning of the original Crysis which perfectly encapsulates the type of experience you’re in for. It’s the moment when you receive your orders to disable a jamming system, which is located on a beach below the hillside you’re on. When you reach the crest, you’re confronted with a beautiful view of the beach, as well as more of the island further down. KPA soldiers mill in the buildings below while boats patrol offshore. The sun rises while Inon Zur’s “First Light” from the soundtrack plays.
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."
Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3
I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.
@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
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
I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.
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
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?"
If people read the original reviews they will notice how the game was praised in almost every department.
Sadly people today think its only the graphics.
Yes the tech they made was amazing but they did use the tech creatively.
The suit powers, map design, enemies, the story and its pretty cool surprises. The infamous Zero -G level. The frozen world aftermath. The epic boss battles. The high octane epic ending.
I played almost every AAA game that came out since 1999 and let me tell you Crysis 1 is one of the best shooters and a big game changer. This game was competing with the best in its time . Shooters of that year were Bioshock, The Orange Box (don't even have to mention this), COD 4, Halo 3. In fact that entire year had the best games ever released in a single year according to me.
2007 game launches. Nothing like this might ever happen in my lifetime.

Among them Crysis still stood on its own feet that year. Kudos
Why no mention of the hugely overpowered melee move, that renders gun play pointless?
One of the best shooters of all time. It looks very good to this day.
Played this game well over 100 hours, there still isn't anything with that level of physics and sandbox style levels.
It was one of the best games and still holds up well. I'm concerned because didn't Crytek run into some major issues with bankruptcy or some major reason and had to close their doors?!
