The Crysis games were so good.

the games looked great on 360, though Halo 4 turned out to be the console's flagship. the Crysis series on the other hand looked decent on consoles, but it's best on PC.

Could never get into these games, but they sure did look nice

CanadianTurtle2425d ago

You didn't miss out. Trust me.
The gameplay and physics system is broken on the console ports. The only way to experience these games as they were advertised is to play them on a beast PC

gangsta_red2425d ago

I definitely believe that. Used to watch a lot of the gameplay from the PC on YouTube and I always thought it was miles different than the console experience.

They had one hell of a game engine for the time of the 2nd games release. The things you could do with visuals was quite impressive for the time. Especially since Unreal kind of had a samey feel to a lot of the games, because it had some limits on it's shader abilities through much of the gen.

BC all the way! Don't know how anyone can hate on it

Software_Lover2425d ago

........ I'm just prefer my Crysis games on PC I guess.

annoyedgamer2425d ago

You're not alone. Crysis 1 was a masterpiece. Alot of elements were removed in favor of set pieces and console limitations. When Crysis 2 was released it was classic EA published title, unpolished, buggy and broken. I would know I played the beta and pre-ordered the game months in advance. I even wrote shill pieces for it when it was clearly not ready for release.

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

DivineHand125138d 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.

PrinceOfAnger143d 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!

RaidenBlack143d ago

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

PrinceOfAnger142d ago (Edited 142d ago )

Looks really nice with VR mod too

FinalFantasyFanatic142d ago

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

Profchaos141d 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.

RedDeadLB142d ago

That CPU performance thing is preventing it.

isarai141d 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

DivineHand125142d 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.

HyperMoused142d ago

Never played it, worth a try you think?

Profchaos141d ago (Edited 141d 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."

RaidenBlack155d ago

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

vTuro24154d ago

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

RaidenBlack155d ago

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

DefenderOfDoom2155d ago

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

JunonZanon155d ago (Edited 155d ago )

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

LikAChicken154d 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.

DivineHand125154d 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.
