Official Crysis Graphical Settings Comparison

What does Crysis look like on low settings? That's a question which has been asked for a long time. Finally today, we get an official comparison between the 4 major graphical setting presets:

"In addition to the Crysis system requirements we have released yesterday evening, we would like to provide you with some ingame screenshots of a Crysis level. They show the different detail settings of the game, beginning from low up to very high. This should give you a good overview what graphic quality you can expect on your system."

luckily for me tho ill be running at very high :)

Kleptic6472d ago

I don't know man...that lowest setting with no light source (no sun?)...looks extremely typical and unimpressive...it actually looks less impressive to me than the original Far Cry...

I wonder how much of the physics is implemented on the lowest setting...if all the cool stuff stays in, I guess its ok...but the lighting system in this game is just as awesome, and just as important to the visuals...

I feel for the dude stuck playing it on that setting...I have the processor, but my notebook's GMA 950 wouldn't even run the game on the lowest setting I would imagine...it caps out Doom 3 at like 20 fps...

zonetrooper56473d ago

If I do get this on the PC, I reckon I could run it on medium settings at least. Although my Pentium 4 will let me down a bit.

NRG6473d ago

You need the fastest of Pentium 4's to play it on the absolute lowest settings.

Kleptic6472d ago

yeah there was an article about single core processors and Crysis earlier in the summer...in which Crytek was one of the first developers to start from the ground up on parallel processing for the PC...meaning the game was never meant to be even acceptable on a single core cpu...something along the lines of "it will play acceptably on a single core AMD or Pentium with a high enough clock speed, but no matter what will never be the experience we intended"...iirc

HateBoy6473d ago

Lol, flick back and forth between low and very high, its insane.

Samer3056473d ago

Man that very high settings blows my mind on how good graphics can look. Just look at the rocks they are built from the ground up not just a meshed up picture like in high,medium,low settings but you would need a real beastly computer to play this game on very high settings.

mirroredderorrim6473d ago

Now THIS is what next generation gaming looks like, people. Take note, a mental one.

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

DivineHand125156d 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.

PrinceOfAnger161d 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!

RaidenBlack161d ago

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

PrinceOfAnger160d ago (Edited 160d ago )

Looks really nice with VR mod too

FinalFantasyFanatic160d ago

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

Profchaos159d 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.

RedDeadLB160d ago

That CPU performance thing is preventing it.

isarai159d 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

DivineHand125160d 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.

HyperMoused160d ago

Never played it, worth a try you think?

Profchaos159d ago (Edited 159d 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."

RaidenBlack173d ago

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

vTuro24172d ago

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

RaidenBlack173d ago

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

DefenderOfDoom2173d ago

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

JunonZanon173d ago (Edited 173d ago )

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

LikAChicken172d 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.

DivineHand125172d 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.
