Crysis is now 10 years old and here are the best graphics mods you can install for it

DSOGaming writes: "Ah, Crysis. One of the most unique PC FPS experiences back in 2007. Crytek's masterpiece was way ahead of its time visually, and came with some truly great gameplay mechanics. Its level design, its enemy AI, its nanosuit abilities; everything felt great. And since today it's its 10th anniversary, we've decided to share with you the best graphics mods you can use for it."

Imagine a new Crysis Game for X1X /Pro/PC

gammaray132381d ago

oh i wish that would happen

PATR1CKSOMMER2381d ago

Why? the crysis games sucked ass.. they were fucking horrible.. YES, the graphics were good and the new exciting game mechanics, like falling trees that could be shot over and the cryengines method of doing gun attachement on the go are amazing.. but the game itself were absolutely horrible.

kevnb2381d ago

the first crysis was awesome, as well as the expansion.

Movefasta19932381d ago (Edited 2381d ago )

how the hell were crysis 1 and 3 bad games?I haven't played 2,but seeing these comments make me realize that a lot of people just jump on the bandwagon and hate on them for just looking pretty.Crysis 1 and 3 are good games.

Profchaos2381d ago

Nah half the point of the game was that it was PC only it did get a rushed port a few years down the line but failed to live up to the PC version.

Number 2 inspired me to build a new rig because I was hoping for another massive jump which came but not at launch the was no direct X 11 out of the box just purely 9 from memory.

ElementX2382d ago

I really enjoyed the Crysis series. Unfortunately many didn't like 2 or 3

Profchaos2381d ago

Two just felt really confined like it became a corridor shooter compared to 1 which had some of the biggest battlefields I can remember

telgou2381d ago

i agree,they designed it as a linear game with different enemies engagement "choices". if they made it a more open world expeirence it would have been truly good

I got bored and looked up some more mods, and while the game’s ground textures and foliage amount have aged pretty well, objects like rocks look god awful. I’m still not sure what the obsession here is; most high ends PC graphics cards would melt trying to run this.

Perjoss2381d ago

They used to melt because hardware from 10 years ago was a lot less powerful that what we have now, obviously.

Darkwatchman2381d ago

No pc at the time could have run the game at its max settings at playable frame rates. Not even the devs themselves could. Crysis was ahead of its time. It pioneered screen space ambient occlusion, for example.

Fishy Fingers2381d ago

Still use it to this day when I upgrade my PC (specifically GPUs). Such a stunning showcase, hard to believe it’s a decade old.

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.

TheColbertinator410d ago

Crysis blew my mind back then and still kinda does.

bunt-custardly410d ago

Let's hope the modders can get the other Crysis games working in VR as they use the same Cryengine.

Bioshock still looks fantastic, one of my all time favorites.

Yui_Suzumiya481d ago

Beyond: Two Souls on PS3 can compete with modern day graphics.

SonyStyled481d ago (Edited 481d ago )

Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3

jasonismoney481d ago

I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.

SonyStyled481d ago

@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

cthulhucultist481d ago

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

Fist4achin481d ago

I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.

SonyStyled481d ago

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

JEECE481d ago

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.

iNcRiMiNaTi481d ago

It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good

JEECE481d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.

Can It Run Crysis? The Only Steam Deck Question That Matters

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?"
