Crysis Remastered Update 1.02 Released for Next-Gen Enhancements & More

Crytek has released the Crysis Remastered update 1.02 patch for consoles. This is for next-gen upgrades & more! Full patch notes here.

RaidenBlack1500d ago

Wait, wait
Performance mode is at 1080p - 60 fps and
RayTracing mode is at 1440p - 60 fps? What do you mean?
Shouldn't the opposite be logical?

Jin_Sakai1500d ago (Edited 1500d ago )

The only mode that’s pretty much a locked 60fps is the 1080p mode. Frequent drops in quality mode and RT mode is all over the place.

It should also be noted that Saber Interactive helped with the port. CryEngine is awful as usual.

"CryEngine is awful as usual." Lol, no, not as usual. This is using a hybrid of CryEngine 2 & 3. And CryEngine 2 was made specifically for high clock speed PC CPUs in 2006/7. Hence any project based off of it needs tremendous optimization to run on a multi-core CPU.
Check Hunt Showdown, made using Cry Engine 5, running on PS4/XBOne.

It does seem strange. You would think performance mode would be 1440p 60 and RT mode would be 1080p 60 but it is 1080p 60 (99% locked) for performance and 1440p 50 for RT mode. And of course quality is 4k 50

Series S is 4k 30 in quality mode... and 1080p 50 performance and then RT mode is 1080p 30

metalhead1500d ago

Ok now I'm gonna try this out on console.

Timzster1500d ago

Hoping to do the same once I get my hands on a next-gen console and copy of this game/

Bnet3431500d ago

they need to do a proper PC release, stop playin around

SlothLordPootus1500d ago

I do wish that most PS5 updates weren't throttled by the PS4 pro. 1800p isn't bad though.

Babadook71500d ago

What’s weird is the ps5 is always targeting 60 including quality mode and XSX is targeting 30 and 2160p in quality mode.

darthv721500d ago (Edited 1500d ago )

The Series X is targeting 4k/50+ in quality mode. 4k/30 is the Series S

Babadook71500d ago

@darthv I must have missed that. Makes more sense.

iplay1up21500d ago (Edited 1500d ago )

No, Series X runs the game at 2160p and 60fps, in quality mode. Series S is targeting 2160p @30 fps. That is what this article says.

iplay1up21500d ago (Edited 1500d ago )

Series X is running it at 2160p @60fps in quality mode. It Dosen't do that on X1X. Why would the pro do anything to slow down PS5'S performance? The game is optimized for each console.

Nitrowolf21500d ago

I think it’s more of how Sony SDK isn’t as easy as applying enhancements as Xbox. Basically PS4 BC games are pretty limited in terms of how much they can be enhanced since they still need to perform in the console. Xbox detects it’s a different system altogether.

It does seem Sony is working on that I think

StarLord711500d ago

Game devs should be able to offer 4 choices on these new machines..
• 4K 60fps high quality no RT
• 4K 30fps high quality plus RT
• 2K 60fps ultra quality no RT
• 1080P 60fps ultra quality plus RT
Given that choice I’d probably go for option 1 or 3.
The Division 2, Valhalla, TLOU2 and RDR2 plus all the upcoming games look and play incredible on a 4K tv and some of those game aren’t even patched for the new consoles.
I know Farcry6 is coming this year but FC5 needs a next gen update, I have so much fun in that game!

Samus is on the list. Personally I'd swap the Space Marines with either Grey Fox from MGS or the COG armor from Gears of War.

NecrumOddBoy734d ago

You’re right. Hiding at the bottom so I missed it

REDGUM734d ago

There's no Dead Space listed in here, WTF!

Sciurus_vulgaris734d ago (Edited 734d ago )

I’d take the Space Marine power armour off the list due to it not originating in a video game.

Bad list ! But shooters aren’t the reason anyone buys a Switch

FreeckyCake831d ago (Edited 831d ago )

Why is it bad? Plus, I never mentioned in the article that shooters are the reason people buy a Switch.

RTX 4090 - But can it run Crysis? - All 3 Remastered versions tested

CG writes: Crytek’s original Crysis release back in November 2007 and became a bit of a meme for crippled PCs during that time when running at high settings. At the end of 2021, Sabre Interactive produced a remastered version (alongside the two sequels Crysis 2 and 3), which was met with a mixed reaction, but still continued the series “But Can it Run Crysis” meme, even naming its highest settings after this. The other two games fared much better as modern gaming experiences. With the Nvidia RTX 4090 releasing recently, we looked back at these remasters to see how well the current king of GPUs performs, despite some possible CPU bottlenecking with the i5 13600K partnership. All three games use max settings, 4K resolution with DLSS OFF (aside from Crysis Remastered which shows DLSS ON and then OFF).

PC gaming needs another Crysis type of game this era, a game that can only be possible to run in a high end PC gaming machine, providing new type of visuals, currently everyone with RT are like "wow RT is the best thing blah blah" well for me is BS!!!, for example you see a static environment with RT off but then it turns ON and everything objects are more accurate reflective and so everyone going nuts "how good everything looks", well for me is just a waste of resources cause in the end is just a damn Static environment simple as that, when playing a video an online fps, driving etc, everything is going nuts on screen, you think someone will stop playing just to see stupid reflection is accurate?, lol suuure, no that will not happen. Physics effects should be the fuzz of todays GPUs and not RT, cause correct physics in a game it actually can change the way you play a game and create new experiences.

PrinceOfAnger902d ago (Edited 902d ago )

That would be Squadron 42 i hope.
Anyway now first crysis on pc has everything i want in a game i can't think of what more things need to be added it has ray tracing, svogi, 8k textures the environment is fully destructible the trees etc and almost everything, the graphics are so real at max settings PC, it has incredible physics and effects and there are already many mods for it on pc you can play it in third person
in Crysis remastered with
Ray tracing on ,you see the character you play with
you may even see if a soldiers /enemies are behind you while you looking at yourself or looking at other reflective things that can be helpful in Crysis 2 / 3

https://i.ibb.co/TWLbRYW/20...

I just want to see how Crysis 4 will be and if they can surpass what they have done on the first game.

bunt-custardly901d ago

I can agree with you on some points, but not all. Watch Dogs Legion and Cyberpunk 2077 both showcase ray traced reflections on surfaces and vehicles as they and people move through the world. A lot of PC heads agree that Cyberpunk 2077 with ray tracing enabled looks much better than without. V remains a vampire though. I remember when the RTX 2080 came out and people laughed at the poor framerate in games like Tomb Raider. They shrugged off ray tracing as a gimmick. Interesting how many games support ray tracing today though, and thanks to improvements with things like DLSS make it viable for more gpus.

MrVux000901d ago

"PC gaming needs another Crysis type of game this era, a game that can only be possible to run in a high end PC gaming machine"

That would depend on what you regard as high-end PC gaming machine. If we are talking about the 1 - 10 percenters, no developer would be willing to sacrifice that much revenue.

MadLad901d ago

Crysis, in a lot of ways, was a tech demo for an engine.
A good game all the same, but it was meant to tax your system and made for tech not even out yet.
They also licensed out that engine since. When devs do stuff like that, they also have the revenue of people buying the engine from them in mind. And there's potential for hell of a lot more money than one game's sales.

EvertonFC901d ago

You don't have to stop moving to see RT pmsl.

anubusgold901d ago

Cyber punk pc is a pain in the ass to run with ray tracing on at 1440P

Crysis 4 is on the way so we could see another rig melting title.

Father__Merrin901d ago

crysis og was a good looking game but wasnt at all oiptimised back in the day

AuraAbjure901d ago

Atomic Heart looks like a system killer.

XxINFERNUSxX900d ago

Still CPU bound come on WTF, it's 2022. What should have been done is a total remake from the ground up to use up to maybe 12-16 cores max. That would be a proper remake the hell with these remasters. We need the whole trilogy done in this way.
