I'll get some disagrees for this but I didn't like Crisis. Most of the powers were underwhelming for one thing. And if you wanted to play it stealthily with a long-range silencer you were just about guaranteed to not get the upgrade orbs since they disappeared so quickly.

It basically forced you to play the way they wanted you to play.

camel_toad1361d ago (Edited 1361d ago )

I had to look it up but their called "nano catalyst" and they were for suit upgrades/unlocking suit modules.

But if you wanted these very important things you had to run in and grab them because they disappeared quickly.

Vegamyster1361d ago

That was only in Crysis 2 which was a pretty linear game, there was very few long range engagements.

porkChop1361d ago

The nano catalyst was in Crysis 2, not the original game.

camel_toad1361d ago

Ah yeh ok. Honestly they're all kind of a blur. I don't even remember if there was a 3rd one... Now that you have cleared that up for me I know it's part 2 that I didn't like, but I don't remember loving the first one either even though I had a high end pc at the time, of course no one could run it as well as it should have been.

PrinceOfAnger1361d ago

Did you even play the first game ?
you can play crysis like a stealth game and do tactics or an action one
you have options

camel_toad1361d ago (Edited 1361d ago )

Yeh I remember skydiving down onto the beach at night. That and running around holding asian dudes as human shields until they got shot up or I threw or punched them. That's about all I remember. I think I was underwhelmed by the series as a whole tbh.

But yeh I was apparently making my point about Crysis 2 because of the nano catalysts that disappeared, hampering ranged stealth options.

jivah1361d ago

The first 2 were solid to me. The 2 that came after were consolized way too much to be enjoyable imo. 2 and 3. But the first 2 for me were golden and had a pretty good formula which was kind of lost. And by the 4th game was very much "wtf am I even playing." And never even bothered to finish it . I wouldn't mind a complete reimagining of the series though.

I agree with Cameltoad

It's not that good it's got good visuals but that's it music score isn't too good weapons no good and kill physics are laughable. It's a relic of the Past that's made a good Internet meme I was glad I finished it on Origin and even more gladder to uninstall

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

DivineHand125103d 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.

PrinceOfAnger108d 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!

RaidenBlack108d ago

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

PrinceOfAnger107d ago (Edited 107d ago )

Looks really nice with VR mod too

FinalFantasyFanatic107d ago

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

Profchaos106d ago

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

isarai108d ago

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

RedDeadLB107d ago

That CPU performance thing is preventing it.

isarai106d 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

DivineHand125107d 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.

HyperMoused107d ago

Never played it, worth a try you think?

Profchaos106d ago (Edited 106d 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."

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

vTuro24119d ago

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

RaidenBlack120d ago

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

DefenderOfDoom2120d ago

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

JunonZanon120d ago (Edited 120d ago )

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

LikAChicken119d 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.

DivineHand125119d 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.
