Alex Dobie writes: When Crysis was first released on PC back in late 2007, it stood as a shining example of just what kind of visual fidelity could be experienced if you were willing to sell a couple of spare organs and funnel the resulting windfall directly into high-end PC gaming hardware. Crysis was gorgeous, and for a long time it was the graphical benchmark against which others were measured. But it also impressed with its solid first-person gunplay and large, sprawling, open levels that allowed players to choose how they tackled each mission’s objectives. So although multiplayer Crysis never really took off, the single player campaign was massively replayable thanks to the countless ways in which most missions could be approached.
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?"
It would be crazy if this game becomes more popular on consoles than on PC.
I'm just happy more people are getting the chance to play this great game.
It would definitely deserve it. People who love FPSs are missing out, if they didn't get to play it on PC and haven't downloaded it already....
Beware that this game has a bug (at least on the PS3 version ) where you will not gain three silver (playing on Delta directly ) and one gold (finish the campaign on hard or delta) trophies .
I was going to get my platinum trophy on this game today and could not win it because of some kind BUG !
Researching ... Crysis 2 also have this trophy bug and same goes to Mass Effect 2 (this one I got and had to play it x2 on hardest to gain my plat ).
It seems EA likes to publish their games with this particular bug :(
Other then that Crysis is an awesome addicting game and it deserves 9/10 if you forget the trophy problem.
This game cost less than $15 on the PC. Just something to think about when you're paying full retail.
After this on console...
i dont know why Crysis 2 wasnt this style of Sandbox, and more open world...
i think Crysis 2 was glimped beacause the Console versions... but after this, i dont get it...
I love Crysis 2... but i love Crysis 1 5 times more...
forgive my bad english
