Crysis is now 10 years old and here are the best graphics mods you can install for it

DSOGaming writes: "Ah, Crysis. One of the most unique PC FPS experiences back in 2007. Crytek's masterpiece was way ahead of its time visually, and came with some truly great gameplay mechanics. Its level design, its enemy AI, its nanosuit abilities; everything felt great. And since today it's its 10th anniversary, we've decided to share with you the best graphics mods you can use for it."

Imagine a new Crysis Game for X1X /Pro/PC

gammaray132740d ago

oh i wish that would happen

PATR1CKSOMMER2740d ago

Why? the crysis games sucked ass.. they were fucking horrible.. YES, the graphics were good and the new exciting game mechanics, like falling trees that could be shot over and the cryengines method of doing gun attachement on the go are amazing.. but the game itself were absolutely horrible.

kevnb2740d ago

the first crysis was awesome, as well as the expansion.

Movefasta19932740d ago (Edited 2740d ago )

how the hell were crysis 1 and 3 bad games?I haven't played 2,but seeing these comments make me realize that a lot of people just jump on the bandwagon and hate on them for just looking pretty.Crysis 1 and 3 are good games.

Profchaos2740d ago

Nah half the point of the game was that it was PC only it did get a rushed port a few years down the line but failed to live up to the PC version.

Number 2 inspired me to build a new rig because I was hoping for another massive jump which came but not at launch the was no direct X 11 out of the box just purely 9 from memory.

ElementX2740d ago

I really enjoyed the Crysis series. Unfortunately many didn't like 2 or 3

Profchaos2740d ago

Two just felt really confined like it became a corridor shooter compared to 1 which had some of the biggest battlefields I can remember

telgou2740d ago

i agree,they designed it as a linear game with different enemies engagement "choices". if they made it a more open world expeirence it would have been truly good

I got bored and looked up some more mods, and while the game’s ground textures and foliage amount have aged pretty well, objects like rocks look god awful. I’m still not sure what the obsession here is; most high ends PC graphics cards would melt trying to run this.

Perjoss2740d ago

They used to melt because hardware from 10 years ago was a lot less powerful that what we have now, obviously.

Darkwatchman2740d ago

No pc at the time could have run the game at its max settings at playable frame rates. Not even the devs themselves could. Crysis was ahead of its time. It pioneered screen space ambient occlusion, for example.

Fishy Fingers2740d ago

Still use it to this day when I upgrade my PC (specifically GPUs). Such a stunning showcase, hard to believe it’s a decade old.

Playing it right now looks amazing! :D
so much fun, i hope they make a vr mod for crysis 2 / 3 too!

DivineHand125111d ago

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.

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.

PrinceOfAnger116d 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!

RaidenBlack116d ago

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

PrinceOfAnger115d ago (Edited 115d ago )

Looks really nice with VR mod too

FinalFantasyFanatic115d ago

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

Profchaos114d 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.

RedDeadLB115d ago

That CPU performance thing is preventing it.

isarai114d 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

DivineHand125115d 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.

HyperMoused115d ago

Never played it, worth a try you think?

Profchaos114d ago (Edited 114d 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

Crytek went so overboard on the Crysis tech and sent devs to photograph leaves in Haiti

"The shader work that came out of this was mind-blowing at times."

RaidenBlack128d ago

Amazing, often misunderstood
The dumb AI was deliberate, so that the players can explore and experiment with the world and all the features.

vTuro24127d ago

It really is. Most people only remember it for its graphics but the gameplay was equally amazing.

RaidenBlack128d ago

Hope they try to pour nearly same amount of dedication to the new Crysis 4

DefenderOfDoom2128d ago

Well worth the extra work ! I enjoyed all 3 Crisis games and would also love a new one .

JunonZanon128d ago (Edited 128d ago )

Still wish game development was overall this passionate and minutious about their projects. Obviously, there are still some great studios as exceptions.

LikAChicken127d ago

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.

DivineHand125127d ago

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.
