In Gameplayer's news article on the Crysis spec announcement they pick up on something interesting. The recommended specs do not point to Vista or Directx 10. They go on to analyze what this might mean for Microsoft's struggling OS.
A Crysis VR mod is now available for download, allowing users to experience the first entry in the series in VR
No one cares. The whole can it run Crysis is old, dead and stupid. It's also irrelevant, considering only less than one percent of pc owners, own a high-end PC. Second, I believe Crysis wasn't even optimized properly.
Let's hope the modders can get the other Crysis games working in VR as they use the same Cryengine.
GF365: "There are some games with extraordinary visuals that impress us to this day. Here are old games with outstanding graphics."
Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3
I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.
@jason I watched some gameplay videos of KZ2 and R3 on my full screen. They are on par or succeed graphically to the first person shooters mentioned in the article that also launched on the seventh generation of consoles. Try the same and see what you think
Killzone 3 was super impressive! I could not believe the graphics back then as I was regularly pausing the game to stand in awe looking at the surroundings! Resistance however did not impress me that much. Heavy rain is also another amazing graphically speaking game. It almost felt next gen
I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.
They did for their day. I recently played gears judgement with on the 360 and the draw distance was so blurry. The characters up close look great though
Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.
It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good
Digital Foundry: "When Alex Battaglia got his hands on a Steam Deck, this was inevitable, right? So can the Steam Deck really run Crysis? And if so, what type of optimised settings produce the best performance? What's the best balance of features and battery life... and what about 60fps?"
well, when the operating system occupies 1 gb of ram, and the recommended amount of ram is 2gb, most computers bought today only have 1gb of ram anyways, so the OS will be eating at the available resources of the game. makes sense
I don't recommend Vista for anything. That's a dog of an OS.
this is total BS, every interview I have seen, for highest quality you need Vista and DX10. And in recent gamespot interview Yerli said DX10 on Vista will perform better than DX9(on the same settings, eg high)
ITS THE FREAKING RECOMMENDED SYSTEM
people look to deeply in this, try to use some logic, the game is played on two levels. 1. is the DX9 level, so they would still recommend XP for DX9 users, and for DX10 users vista
Why would they do this? The only way to truely enjoy Crysis graphics is by DX10 and Vista.
Well, not that important for me because unless they release a console version of Crysis, I won't be able to play it any time soon.
