Crysis just made it out to the xbox 360 after 4 years, but can it perform?

art style from the pc version looks far more realistic and shadows is better, draw distance, textures,.... well the pc version just looks better in every aspect. Cryengine 2 is still better than the Cryengine 3.

turgore4965d ago

except the fugly lighting.

Qazdaz4965d ago

The lighting on the pc version is much better.

Autodidactdystopia4965d ago

Don't buy into the hype man. Like I said years ago crysis will never look close to PC on consoles. Maybe next Gen.

It still looks good though don't get me wrong.
just don't be delusional. there is NO COMPARISON ABSOLUTELY NONE.

BattleAxe4965d ago

I'm sorry, but if anyone can look at this video and say the 360 version looks better in any way, then you're just plain stupid. Trade your PC in for a Wii, because thats what you deserve.

ProjectVulcan4965d ago (Edited 4965d ago )

http://www.youtube.com/watc... Plus this in 1080p.

About time someone did a comparison on the PC's terms @ 1080p to show the true difference. For too long sites have cut PC off at the legs down to 720p to compare, when no one plays in 720p on PC, nearly everyone plays at one higher resolution or another.

Even with youtube's compression it is obvious the gap is vast. I got disagrees yesterday for saying that the console version looks great- IF you had not seen it side by side with the PC one.

Well if you disagreed, watch these videos.

TheXgamerLive4965d ago (Edited 4965d ago )

I can always tell when pc/xbox 360/ps3 gamers comment on something that their fighting to keep better on their platform, lol.
All these comments crack me up. "OBVIOUSLY" this game looks much better here on the Xbox 360, everything is better, now yes you see a farther draw distance in "1" scene on pc, well that's maybe b/c an excellent lighting system is being used on the 360 or maybe pc draws better farther, regardless.
Seriously, the game is much much better on the consoles now and remember most people, not you hardcore pc gamers but most can't run at the same settings that this is, "BUT" it still looks hella great on the pc after all these years and some big patches to boost it.
Were all just fortunate that we can play it on consoles now.

Autodidactdystopia4965d ago

you are "OBVIOUSLY" laughable

lol

TheXgamerLive4965d ago

awww thanks for the comment back little man:)

ATi_Elite4965d ago

Whoa! Crytek did an excellent job so far putting Crysis on the CryEngine 3. The game looks very good on the 360 and consolers are in for a treat as long as the Crysis game play stays true which i'm sure Crytek did since they went the extra mile on this conversion.

Good Job Crytek and the 360 version looks GREAT!!

The CryEngine 2 was never meant for consoles as it requires lots of GPU power to get maximum results but once the maximum results are achieved you can clearly see the beauty of the Cryengine 2.

Not to take away from the great looking 360 version but the CryEngine 2 just offers way more photo realistic gameplay and the Pc hardware allows for more detail, texture depth, and animation.

Kleptic4965d ago

They did do a great job on consoles...i remember hearing EVERYWHERE that neither console could come 'close' to Crysis visually...here it is...and considering the age of the consoles, its more than acceptable...

the physics are there, the animation is there, and the entire world is there...it just falls short on textures, res, and AA...but sitting 10 feet back from a 46" TV; i never care about those things...

too bad they didn't fix the original'a AI though...saw a few game videos earlier...its still hot trash...

cannon88004965d ago

darn it now i want to play crysis on pc again!

turgore4965d ago

The pc version is modded and on very high.

raytraceme4965d ago (Edited 4965d ago )

whats the problem with that? You don't want them to gimp the pc version to look worse than the xbox version do you? Unlike the other gimped pc vs xbox comparisons this obviously shows the superiority of the pc graphics. A $600 pc can easily run this at the setting the video is running at.

And anyways the pc version is not modded in this comparison. If you want to see modded then you are in for a surprise ;)

DwightOwen4965d ago

@turgore

Ummm, no, the PC version is NOT modded. And so what if the settings are on Very High? What, we PC users should gimp our version in both resolution AND settings so that you can feel better about your console port? The only way to appropriately compare the two is to max out the PC version to make it look as pretty as it can. Otherwise, what's the point?

Still, it's pretty sad that a four year-old game, made on a far less optimized engine (CE2), is far superior to its console brethren.

ATi_Elite4965d ago

Of course it's on high......Finally we a proper PC vs. Console comparison where they are not running the PC version on some GIMPED settings.

and NO it is not modded! I play Crysis PC with the immersion mod and other high texture mods and Crysis console or Crysis PC vanilla DO NOT even compare to Crysis with Mods.

Nice attempt at trolling though but EPIC FAIL!

DwightOwen4965d ago

Don't bother, dude; it never occurs to these console fanboys that maybe we know what we're talking about because we play both PCs AND consoles and see the differences firsthand, unlike them.

maniactadpole4965d ago

Crysis with mods can even compete with the likes of Battlefield 3 and Metro 2033 ! :)

ATi_Elite4965d ago

Yeh Crysis with mods is just flat-out sick to the point that every other game almost looks like crap.

Crysis w/ immersion mod
BF3
GTAIV w/ icenhamcer mod
Arma II with Ace mod 2
Metro2033
Stalker Call of Pripyat Complete
and a few others....

are like the sickest graphical titles!!

Eyesoftheraven4965d ago (Edited 4965d ago )

I am the creator of the video. If you take the time to watch the second half, you could see that I had used footage using very low PC settings as well. Also: The PC footage which I recorded myself, was not modded in any way.

Kamikaze1354965d ago

Both versions look great, but the PC version looks much more realistic. It seems like they exaggerated on the lighting effects to make the console version look good.

girlwithturn4965d ago (Edited 4965d ago )

Where is f*cked ps3?

Xbox: no grass, less draw distance, sub-hd, low-res textures, blurred rocks, low framerate.

Perjoss4965d ago

comparing to 360 is silly because it was never gonna look as good as PC. I still cant believe i get to play this bad boy on consoles though!

Eyesoftheraven4965d ago

I created the video for lighthearted fun out of curiosity. That is all.

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

DivineHand125105d 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.

PrinceOfAnger110d 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!

https://youtu.be/SVg63_aNr-...

RaidenBlack110d ago

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

PrinceOfAnger109d ago (Edited 109d ago )

Looks really nice with VR mod too

FinalFantasyFanatic109d ago

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

Profchaos108d ago

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

isarai110d ago

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

RedDeadLB109d ago

That CPU performance thing is preventing it.

isarai108d 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

DivineHand125109d 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.

HyperMoused109d ago

Never played it, worth a try you think?

Profchaos108d ago (Edited 108d 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.

vTuro24121d ago

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

RaidenBlack122d ago

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

DefenderOfDoom2122d ago

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

JunonZanon122d ago (Edited 122d ago )

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

LikAChicken121d 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.

DivineHand125121d 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.
