Crysis' gameplay is better than many movie games released this gen, namely Uncharted 4.

The only game that will outclasses Crysis graphics is Star CItizen.

Bathyj2662d ago

How is Uncharted a movie game?

Oh, I get it, cos you cant play it and your parents wont let you see M rated movies either.

ecchiless2662d ago (Edited 2662d ago )

omg ur gonna kill me with these comments xD

OT: That guy is so sad, looks like he needs to troll to feel good.... sad.

Deep-throat2661d ago

It's a walking simulator with some long cutscenes.

Bathyj2661d ago (Edited 2661d ago )

Yeah, right. Whatever buddy. And youre a droning simulator with long periods of irrationality. You can do better than that, troll harder.

Uncharteds cutscenes arent even that long, and never intrusive. They break up the action nicely and help the pacing. Theyre certainly not as bad as having a 20 minute live action TV show and the end of every chunk of gameplay.

You could have just Crisis has good gameplay, and just left it at that. But no, you cant help yourself can you?

Unspoken2661d ago

It's called a cinematic experience. Get it right. lol

TheOptimist2662d ago (Edited 2662d ago )

Agreed. But then again, we have masterpieces like Deus Ex and Deus Ex Human Revolution, which have actual depth in story as well as gameplay.

I still think Crysis plays much better than Call of Duty. In spite of having Iron man's power, it never feels like COD, with no foots on ground. Even the older CODs aren't much better.

Lamboomington2662d ago (Edited 2662d ago )

omg,

Ignore his post please. Crysis had amazing gameplay, that's all. There's no need for an immature comparison with Uncharted 4, a game which isn't even remotely in the same genre.

Deep-throat2661d ago

But you can tell which one has more and better interactivity than the other.

Inzo2662d ago

So your name is Deep-throat hey? it explains allot.

U4 is the pinnacle of gaming whereas the Crysis series is a very very shiny turd.

TheOptimist2656d ago

And still has gameplay light years better than Uncharted? K

Anybody remember a decade ago how Wii fans used to vehemently chant "gameplay over graphics?"

riibhu2662d ago

I don't understand why people include Crysis 1 in "better graphics shit gameplay" list. It's not rated 91 on metacritic for nothing you know. The sandbox gameplay where you decide how to proceed, the fact that games like this including far cry 3 are praised for their gameplay but Crysis 1 doesn't don't make sense to me.

starchild2662d ago

Yeah, I don't understand that either. Crysis 1 was great. In fact, I enjoyed all of the Crysis games, although the first was my favorite. I loved the tools at your disposal and all the different ways you could approach a situation. The Crysis games, as a series, have a higher rating than, say, the Killzone series, yet people still act like that is a good series and are excited for Guerrilla's next game, but then act like the Crysis games are terrible or something.

I just don't get the double standard. I'm not trying to put Guerrilla down at all. I'm really looking forward to Horizon a lot. I just don't think that the a lot of the hate directed at Crytek is warranted.

Lamboomington2662d ago

Exactly.

Crysis 1 and Crysis Warhead had amazing gameplay. Better than most modern shooters imo.

sullynathan2662d ago

Because Crysis is crap. Stop with that metacritic shit, gaming journos were enamored by its graphics

riibhu2661d ago

Maybe it's crap to you. That doesn't make the game crap.

TheOptimist2656d ago

Crysis had emergent gameplay unlike many games since 2007. I guess people hated emergent gameplay and wanted more cuver based shuuting and regenerative health, which are some of the most boring elements in any game ever. Deus Ex HR does it right though, true emergent gameplay

Fist4achin2662d ago

I'm probably in the minority here, but I liked both Beyond, Two Souls and the Order.

Lamboomington2662d ago

I don't understand why they made The Order a third person gallery shooter like Gears Of War. That's the worst fit for the themes and tone of the game. IMO it should have taken an approach with much more complex gameplay, with gadgets, perhaps some abilities and more openness (within the linear setup)

Fist4achin2661d ago

Who knows?! I thought it still worked and was a kick ass game. This is coming from me who also is a gears fan. There are definitely a couple of other genres that could have fit well or have elements added.

Fishy Fingers2662d ago (Edited 2662d ago )

I don't think the article is insinuating that they are bad games but rather the graphics are just more inviting than the gameplay. I'd say that's the case with The Order and every David Cage game (as I'm sure he'd also concede).

Quite frankly, seems that's becoming more important. Any frequent N4G user can testify that the vast majority of posts are concerned with graphics, resolution, HDR etc frame rates even seem more important as a measure of system power than gameplay.

15 Xbox Games That Should Make the Multiplatform Jump

While there’s likely already a list behind closed doors, one can still speculate and offer logical suggestions for titles new and old that should find their way into the PlayStation and Switch libraries.

technabob.com
GamerRN48d ago

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit48d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead48d ago

That’s up to Microsoft they want return on there investment. From buying up those publishers. That’s what there in business for. And they made a mistake putting day one exclusive on game pass. So now Microsoft wants to profit any way they can.its called buisness . Just like Sony putting games on pc a year are two after ps5 launch.
So if they can make money off PlayStation and Nintendo. They will do that. And I bet soon real soon they will release some aaa exclusives .and I bet one day it will be same day release

TheEroica48d ago

Sony gamers begging for Xbox games.... Who would've thunk it?

BISHOP-BRASIL48d ago

Yeah, because random site off the internet represents all Sony gamers, they have the letter of attorney and all...

S2Killinit48d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

We don’t care about shovelwares. Get that junk out of PS5

TheEroica46d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer48d ago

Some of these seem to be exclusive for lack of enthusiasm of the publisher rather than because of deals. A lot of cool indies skip ps for some reason like katana zero, el paso, elsewhere and gunbrela

S2Killinit48d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer48d ago

Quality over quantity, Microsoft got some really interesting and curated niche games on their machines, maybe in part because of gamepass

S2Killinit48d ago

Quality and MS are not things you bring up in same sentence.

shinoff218348d ago (Edited 48d ago )

Alot of indies skip xbox to. It goes round and round. Personally I think your off base on that but no need to have the argument.

Friendlygamer48d ago

Between katana zero, valheim, Battletech, el passo... I don't feel off base. maybe ps got a million of light novel games that will never release on Xbox but like I've said, I'm talking about niche games highlights, the 10%.

  Heck, it's probably thanks to Microsoft that the s.t.a.l.k.e.r games came to console ps included, meanwhile Sony backwards compatibility continues to be extremely anemic.

And I'm sure most ps5 users are happy to ignore these games and just play wathever new 3rd person action game is trending but it's cool that Microsoft gives some love to smaller audiences and software preservation

shinoff218348d ago

Again your off base just to be snide. All it's showing though is your ignorance.

One light novels wtf is that even. Ps has plenty of pretty damn good indies.

Speaking of indies and ms being responsible. You know F.I.S.T. of course you do alot of you guys just support gamepass. Well here's a history of Sony being responsible for helping indies. Look up the China project from Sony.

Lastly lol your ignorance showing again. Sony has plenty of games. Personally third person is better then first anyway but that's besides the point. Sony gets so many games that xbox doesn't get because yall don't support the games. Jrpgs being a great example. I personally am not into every Sony first party game. Alot of us aren't. On the other side you don't get to eat often so you gobble up everything. Me personally God of War not my cup, etc. For me I'm into jrpgs and ms just can't touch Sony on those. Again because the Xbox base doesn't support it. Devs dont wanna waste their time or money. Hit me up when falcom develops a game over there.

Speaking of third person narrative games. Aren't yall drooling over hellblade 2. The first one was Sony exclusive at one point. Another not my cup game. Showing we don't have to fall in line and agree we love everything Sony puts out. The facts are they sell though unlike elsewhere(not nintendo)

StormSnooper47d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal48d ago

They really think PlayStation fans would want to play Redfall? Pfft.

Personally nothing on that list would be any game I’d want to play.

TwoPicklesGood48d ago

I’d absolutely love Hellblade 2, Palworld, and Quantum Break on ps5 as I’m sure tons of others would too. There’s nothing wrong with wanting games from another console and its sad that people try to act like they aren’t interested in them.

shinoff218348d ago

While indont agree with the games. I agree with the point. Your not wrong.

DarXyde48d ago

Sunset Overdrive makes very good sense. Palworld might.

Don't know about the others. Hellblade II does make sense given the original launched on PS4 first. Quantum Break was a massive letdown for me. I absolutely hated the whole TV show thing and I don't think anyone should have to relive that on modern hardware.

Now that Remedy owns Control, it’s time to reclaim Quantum Break

Alan Wake 2 studio Remedy Entertainment has reclaimed the rights to Control, and now sci-fi hit Quantum Break deserves the same treatment.

Petebloodyonion64d ago

Totally agree with that especially when Quantum Break has several references to Alan Wake and Alan Wake make allusions to QB.
I do believe that MS and Remedy can work things out and MS has usually been nice to devs and publishers regarding IP.

Obscure_Observer64d ago

They can't "reclaim" what was never theirs.

Petebloodyonion64d ago

I’m sure we can settle for purchase from MS the IP.

Lightning7764d ago

MS is not doin anything with it. Plus they're doing a multiverse of their own so Remedy needs the IP.

If MS wants to have exclusive let it be timed for 6 months then go to other platforms. MS seems to be, let's say, generous with some if their games as of late.

Or have QB2 be multiplat from the jump, put it on GP. Keeping QB2 as an exclusive is kinda weird these days.

Obscure_Observer64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

@Petebloodyonion

"I’m sure we can settle for purchase from MS the IP."

Good luck

@Lightning77

"MS is not doin anything with it."

Japan Studio is dead nd Sony isn´t doing anything with Bloodborne either! Yet I can 100% guarantee that there´s a far bigger demand for a sequel, remake or even a remaster for that game from both PS5 and PC gamers.

That been said, why don´t you ask Sony tol sell the IP to Fromsoftware now that according to rumors, they bought Elden Ring from Bandai?

ZwVw64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

Reclaim? That would mean that they actually owned the ip at one point, which they never did (MS always has). Apples & oranges. Remedy always owned the Control ip (just not the publishing), as they have with Alan Wake.

About as likely as them getting the Max Payne rights from Rockstar.

mastershredder64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

Sending you game to a publisher does not mean they get "rights to own it " unless that was part of the contract (monetary/ strategic reasons). 505 was the publisher they worked with to publish and distribute it, it dos not mean that 505 flat out "owned" anything, clearly they did have a special arrangement that made them open to limit their publishing rights. and so here we are and big whoop

Jingsing64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

Yeah get Quantum Break PS5, only if you put it on disc with all the associated movie material.

isarai64d ago

I mean they got the Alan Wake IP back from MS, so I feel like they could get QB back as well

The Order: 1886 pushed visuals hard in 2015 - And still looks stunning today

Digital Foundry : Released in February 2015, The Order: 1886 was a stunning PlayStation 4 game at the cutting-edge of rendering technology, with visuals that still hold up today. The game's release pre-dated in-depth Digital Foundry coverage, something we're looking to address with this new video! Ready at Dawn's game never received a sequel and never received a PS4 Pro upgrade, but thanks to developments with exploited, older firmware PS5 consoles, we can now show you the game running locked at 60 frames per second.

VenomUK267d ago

The gameplay was bland and extremely frustrating at times with unnecessary QTE combat at points. But the world and the lore and the characters and the story were fantastic. I’ve always wanted a sequel. I still hope Sony will surprise us one day.

shadowT268d ago

Sony missed the opportunity to acquire Ready at Dawn Studios.

Tacoboto268d ago

But... Sony didn't want Ready at Dawn. Clearly

mkis007268d ago

I'm guessing had 1886 turned out more positively they would have.

RaidenBlack268d ago

And let's not forget,
Ready At Dawn showcased The Order 1886 running on PC at 60fps at SIGGRAPH 2015
https://www.dsogaming.com/n...

isarai268d ago

I still stand by my theory that this game just released at the wrong time. Almost every outlet spent a lot of time in their reviews ragging on the game for not being an online experience, everyone was in the Destiny hype train and at the time they wanted EVERY game to follow suit, bashing any game that didn't. If this were released after everyone realized how much that wasn't future, people would've appreciated it more. I loved it, and I'm always disappointed that we'll never get a sequel

Tacoboto268d ago

That doesn't seem to be true about outlets complaining on the lack of online. The review summaries on Metacritic are very consistent: Amazing graphics, but shallow gameplay and a very short length with little reason to return.

Here's an example of how *little* time IGN spent talking about multiplayer:

"With no multiplayer, and no reason to revisit the short and stunted single-player campaign once it’s been completed, there just isn’t a lot to it."

It's the final sentence. They don't even take the time to say "online multiplayer"

MrChow666268d ago (Edited 268d ago )

"Amazing graphics, but shallow gameplay and a very short length with little reason to return."
You are right, that's what everbody was saying at the time, never heard anything about it not being online.
I've been thinking about trying this game for years, I may get it now that it's dirt cheap, no big loss if it sucks

MrChow666268d ago

Oh, add to that bad enemy AI, I remember that from the reviews, I saw a video of a wherewolf boss fight with a very weak AI

thorstein268d ago

And there we glowing reviews for shorter games. It was one of the times where hating this game was "cool."

CrimsonWing69268d ago

Can you show me the reviews that rag on it for not having an online experience?

I’m not doubting you or anything. I’m just being lazy.

isarai268d ago

Sorry, not multiplayer, open world is what I meant.

Tacoboto268d ago

That's also fake news, isarai. Again, the game was consistently criticized for what it was (Pretty but extremely short, extremely linear, hand-holding, no replayability), not for what it wasn't (multiplayer/open-world)

isarai268d ago

Nope, every review uses the term "linear" several times as if it's some inherently bad attribute. Not fake news at all. Since then there's veen plenty of short and sweet single player linear games that get lots of praise, again after the reality of everything being open world set it and it wasn't as great as everyone thought. But at the launch of the last gen everyone had open world fever, and especially the first couple years "linear" was a con in many games reviewed

Tacoboto268d ago

That's your own contortion assuming criticism of its extremely linear design is suddenly a call for it to have been open world.

zumlauf14268d ago

You totally made up a claim regarding an overall review consensus that isn't true. And, instead of just ignoring being called out for it, you respond with "oh actually i ment to say OPEN WORLD". Which literally isn't true either. You can't show us one review that bashed the game for "not being open world". And, somehow the other guy is getting downvoted. Over a bullshit liar.

isarai268d ago

Games were being criticized at that time for any game that wasn't open world or online. So yeah I got one mixed for the other, doesn't change my argument one bit that it would've been received better if it released later. People are agreeing because if you were not riding the "online and open world" hype train at that time, it was blatantly obvious there were biases in play for how games were criticized. Now after all that has happened since people want to say "oh wait these games were actually pretty good" cause they know better now

Rude-ro268d ago

The gameplay was very shallow and when one says repetitive, it is by the very definition for some fights. As in, completely identical but different setting.

The game has amazing potential.
The graphics, the lore, characters…
This could most definitely have been all corrected with a sequel and became a franchise hit…
Still would love to see an attempt.

Ie fantastic premise and moments that shine…
But it had its downfalls that deserved the negative marks.

thorstein268d ago

It was the "game to hate" when it launched. And right here, on this site, we saw people posting stories that were outright fabrications about the game. It was weird. The game launched, it was fun, a really cool game but the hate was too much. And so were the lies.

Minute Man 721268d ago

It was just too short....but I loved every minute of it....double dipped and grabbed the ultimate CE

babadivad268d ago

That isn't true. I remember people talking about how incredibly short it was and the somewhat janky gunplay.

KwietStorm_BLM268d ago

First I'm hearing of this. I don't know what multiplayer has to do with anything. The game was just dull. Amazing graphics, great narrative, great lore, boring gameplay sprinkled in pieces between cutscenes, and lackluster AI and controls.

I get it, but people also complain about the main stories being too long or just games being too long in general because they are "adults".
