I'm surprised this hasnt been redone for current systems. Ps3 and 360 could barely run the game last gen.

Sniperwithacause2585d ago (Edited 2585d ago )

Wish they would redo the crysis games for current gen! Hell with it being this late in the gen, I'd even wait for a remaster on the PS5. They really were beautiful games last gen.

JaguarEvolved2585d ago

I've always said they need to port the crisis trilogy on the ps4 and Xbox one. Maybe they'll do it next generation which will be easier.

kevnb2585d ago (Edited 2585d ago )

the game is kind of awkward playing on a tv, it was obviously made to be played closely in front of a monitor. I expect a bunch of down votes from console only gamers on this one, but just try playing the pc version on a tv with a game pad vs playing the traditional way.

indysurfn2585d ago (Edited 2585d ago )

I agree there may be a lot of down votes for your comment, but so far only one out of three! Anyway I also agree with your sentiment at first except if you have a high end 4k tv with fast refresh I think that may be a game changer.

I few times I had the same sentiment for PC games did not see them playing right on console but they did. Unreal, and Doom being some of the first. Also PC style RPG's in general.

End the end you may be right but I will be willing to give it a try if they let me.

PATR1CKSOMMER2585d ago (Edited 2585d ago )

Because the game sucks... it has always sucked, it was good to test your hardware and try those physics with the trees etc... but other than that, the story and general game sucked and still sucks.

Also, just look at the screenshots.. it looks awful still, with HD textures and shit.. pft , just stop.

kevnb2585d ago (Edited 2585d ago )

no the game is an awesome sandbox shooter. The story isn't that strong, but it really doesn't matter since its not spending much time with it. This isn't some console style shooter with big fancy boring cut scenes piecing together the overly linear crappy campaign, this is the last of the big budget single player gameplay focused pc exclusive shooters. I cant really think of games even to this day that can compete with it on a technical level, new games simply arent as interactive nor do they have the same scope. For example compare it to uncharted 4, at any given time you see 4 times as much on screen that is all interactive (not just backdrops and clever boundaries).

indysurfn2585d ago

This is true but even on PC the game SUCKED because of the frame rate. This will fix the game rate, plus they have a chance to refine the game play. They have to know what they did wrong by now.

kevnb2585d ago

we’ve been able to play the game at a good frame rate on pc for years now, hardware is much faster than in 2007.

PrinceOfAnger2585d ago (Edited 2585d ago )

The game has higher score on metacritic than the first uncharted both released same year

Eurogamer give it 9/10

I wish more devs used the CryEngine. Suck they went under.

ChickeyCantor2585d ago

The render techniques are pretty much normalized nowadays. Not sure why people want CryEngine specifically, you still need the artistic vision to make things look good.

BioShockGX2584d ago

Please no.
Have you seen the size of kingdom come deliverance patches? Changing a few codes leads to redownloading the whole pack, hence each patch is above 20gb, that's CryEngine for you.

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

DivineHand12599d 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.

PrinceOfAnger104d 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!

RaidenBlack104d ago

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

PrinceOfAnger103d ago (Edited 103d ago )

Looks really nice with VR mod too

FinalFantasyFanatic103d ago

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

Profchaos102d ago

I thought the remaster was fine tbh some rough edges at launch but after some patches it's decent

isarai104d ago

I mean the lighting and physics still hold up extremely well. I still revisit it from time to time.

RedDeadLB103d ago

That CPU performance thing is preventing it.

isarai102d 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

DivineHand125103d 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.

HyperMoused103d ago

Never played it, worth a try you think?

Profchaos102d ago (Edited 102d 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."

RaidenBlack116d ago

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

vTuro24115d ago

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

RaidenBlack116d ago

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

DefenderOfDoom2116d ago

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

JunonZanon116d ago (Edited 116d ago )

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

LikAChicken115d 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.

DivineHand125115d 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.
