The most infamously demanding PC game of all time makes an unexpected appearance on consoles, but what's been lost in the translation?
German developer Crytek must be so upset they missed the '90s and the golden era of PC gaming. It's clear they'd loved to be thought of as a European equivalent of id Software in their heyday, creating their games only for the state-of-the-art in graphics technology and happily ignoring anyone that can't keep up.
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?"
Great to see that the game has come to the consoles and in good fashion. Good work!
I played the PC version (vanilla version on very high) and i must say that Crysis on PS3 (or 360) looks extremely good. I downloaded the PS3 version yesterday and i was literally amazed at how Crytek managed to port this beast of a game.Very impressive achievement indeed :)
No tears here, guy. Played the game in '08. Loved it. Now maybe all the console fanboys will stop saying it was "just graphics" and was a terrible game (HINT: it wasn't).
Looks very good for a console game, and it was already a great game to start with. Crytek should be proud.
how big is the game on the ps3 and 360?
