"Crysis is one of, if not the, most stunningly beautiful games we've ever seen. But even beyond that, it's a pretty fantastic shooter. Solid weapons, intelligent enemies, and fairly open level designs mix with nano-suit powers to make this one of the more entertaining ballistic showdowns in some time."
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?"
now, the only thing i need is a desktop computer thats completely supped up and i'm set to go.. haha. i have maybe one friend who has a computer capable of running this game on medium to low settings. and if i so much as mention the word crysis in front of my laptop, it'll burst into flame.. shhh..
hopefully Crytek will bear some fruit with its expeditions into the console world.
great review. I sort of expected the con with the story as it is a triology. After trying the demo again and again with various settings and OSes, the best settings for my PC is on XP64(Vista performance is really bad) with the Very High DX9 tweak at 1280x720 4xAA(its funny, this is almost more than 2x faster than 1680x1050 NoAA, but there is visible loss in detail, but still better than High). Of course the framerates are around 15-28fps but doesnt dip below 15 and is playable enough. Also cant wait to see what the modding community is going to make for Crysis.
I'm getting another gig of RAM and an Nvidia 8800 GT for Christmas!!!
i can play it fine on medium with my 8600 gts, played the demo, it was just ok in my opinion, didnt see anything that really hasnt been done in video games before, but i really do have to say even on medium it is beautiful, the controls are tight, and is action packed, if your a computer gamer, u will love this game
edit: so i recieved a disagree because computer gamers will like this???
So basically it's worse than Black & White.
