Michael Futter writes: When Crysis 2 came out on the console, I admit that I didn’t rush to pick it up. I’m the kind of person that hates jumping into a series in the middle and felt that I’d be missing something if I didn’t know the back-story. Thankfully, other members of the ZTGD team convinced me otherwise and I didn’t miss out on the game. However, one sentiment I heard (and expressed) multiple times was a desire to play the original Crysis on consoles. In an extremely fortunate turn of events, those of us that prefer a gamepad to a mouse and keyboard (and didn’t have liquid-cooled PCs when the game launched in 2008) can finally play Crytek’s masterpiece.
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?"
This game could run on Nintendo 64 if Crytek wanted it to. Don't you remember the jungle level in Goldeneye? :p Anyways nearly all of the beginning from this console version with PC Very High and Low footage:
And the naysayers said we would never see this game on consoles...HA!!!!Well done Crytek!I see your engine becoming the industry standard soon thus knocking the unreal engine off it's throne.Can't wait to see what you guys have in store for us.
Great review, and the game does look and sound good on consoles...I just might make the easy decision and pick it up for $20 on PSN, I tried playing this back in 2007 when it first came out, but my PC cried.
Well deserved, loving it. My graphicscard melted when running Crysis on PC back in the day(no joke, i had to buy a new one). Crytek's remastered Crysis for the consoles is a welcome surprise, Crytek managed to do some miracle work and exceeded all my expectations, it is absolutely fantastic to see it running like this on consoles! Best 20 bucks spend yet.
