Can you not base it off the ps3/360 version this time ya dweebs

Crazyglues1102d ago

I just watched the whole thing again on Youtube, was an awesome game, loved playing it when it came out on PS3, but if they are not going to really go in this time and use the latest Crytek 5.6 engine and bring back multiplayer, I don't want to hear nothing about it...

masterfox1103d ago

Crytek should stop fooling around and start developing a proper Crysis game, 2 and 3 story was pretty bad and very annoying imo, not to mention the core gameplay were nothing like the originals.

Kornholic1102d ago

What do you mean, Crysis 2 story was pretty good and engaging.

Profchaos1102d ago

It was pretty enjoyable overall but I would of loved more psycho I know we got 3 but still

masterfox1102d ago

in Crysis 2 , very linear path and very narrow for exploration, since the moving forward was so narrow there were no missions or playthrough for vehicles to move around like in Crysis or Crysis Warhead, there were a few parts in Crysis 2 when you enter some of them but since the streets were so cluttered the vehicles were kinda useless, somehow walking in the city felt claustrophobic, the weapons sound effects effings sucked! in comparison to the first two, the weapons in Crysis 2 sound so weak, not to mention I always end up using same damn gun cause the variety was pretty poor as well, the enemy soldiers with their white suit look so cute lol, they didn't look menacing one damn bit, the whole crysis 2 game were segment of battles after battles it felt repetitive, and for the story I was like , da funk!, Prophet shows it self dying to another character then it kill it self, the other guy uses the suit the turns into Prophet later on?, wtf?, what happened to to the other guy Alcatraz mind?, the whole damn story of Crysis in 2 and 3 turn into a Alien screwing up Alcatr....I mean Prophet's head, in the first two was about the discovery of an Alien Race that probably will screw up the world, and nothing about a damn alien screwing up your head like in 2 and 3, should it be a segment with a psychiatrist or something that you can relax sit back and tell all your Alien mind issues. lol

Still in the end the biggest screw up Crytek did with the franchise imo is that they move away from the interactivity / physics and open world mechanics the first two games had, the first two felt alive, organic and felt you were in a real jungle and the atmosphere was great, a huge village, industrial plant or the green plains can be your battleground, in Crysis 2 are just some streets blocks lol, seriously freaking sucked what they did to Psycho in Crysis 3, heck what even happened to Nomad?.

abstractel1102d ago

@masterfox It's fine if you don't like non-open world games but not every game needs to be so it's not really a fair criticism. I'm for one looking forward to semi-linear Ratchet and Clank PS5 plus recently enjoyed playing through It Takes Two. The rest of your opinions are yours to have but I enjoyed Crysis 2 and even 3. I think they crashed as a studio with the stunning looking game with very repetitive gameplay; Ryse: Son of Rome. Singular big budget games have brought down plenty of other studios.

Speaking of Crytek; they survived on their engine, selling parts of it to Amazon, making a slight comeback with Hunt and trying to make some money from these remasters. Wouldn't mind seeing them bring back the Crysis franchise to current gen consoles. If they've retained any of their technological talent they could get back to showing us what cutting edge looks like.

MadLad1102d ago

They have no monies.
I'm surprised they even managed to keep the doors open the last few years.

Fluke_Skywalker1102d ago

Seems I'm one of the few who agree with you @masterfox,each to their own. But I also think the first game was great, Warhead was great but 2 and 3 were absolutely garbage. That said gameplay was good and obviously the graphics were amazing, but the story was utter garbage.

Trilithon1102d ago

EA sucks. boycott this stupid publishing company. the cigarettes of the gaming industry

Profchaos1102d ago

Crysis came out in a time where EA wasn't reputable by any means but they weren't pushing gaas or loot boxes and to their credit crysis remastered didn't add these things in so my purchase of crysis remastered and 2 is basically me enjoying the game but also me saying I want single player and not with gaas or loot bixes

CrimsonWing691102d ago

Well, they gave us probably one of the best Star Wars games in Fallen Order so I guess they’re not all that bad?

GreatSako20201102d ago

This has nothing to do with EA. EA was the original publisher. This one is done by cryteck

Yui_Suzumiya1102d ago

Finally dammit! The entire trilogy needed a remaster, not just the first. Despite loving the second game, even I'll admit that it ran like ass on the PS3. This is most assuredly wanted. Now do the third as well 😁

Profchaos1102d ago

Agree it was unplayable on PS3 and 360 from what I saw. I did play it on PC and it was the first taste of next gen for me.

Yui_Suzumiya1102d ago

It ran 15 to 20 frames on PS3 normally so seeing it run 60 on PS4 would be amazing. The third game is my favorite so I hope they'll do it as well 😁

MadLad1102d ago

I'm PC now, but the performance of Crysis 3 and FarCry 3 on the 360 is literally what pushed me to throw a little over a grand into my first PC build.

Fishy Fingers1102d ago

Honestly, not sure they could finace it right now. Probably why we're seeing these remasters.

Profchaos1102d ago

It would only happen if these remasters sell well

KTF261102d ago

because they wasted a lot of money opening new studios while not delivering games

darthv721102d ago

No offense but shooters are a dime a dozen. Id rather they make Ryse 2.

MadLad1102d ago (Edited 1102d ago )

I second this.
Felt Ryse was highly underrated. The game was a lot of fun, and still looks impressive visually.
I have it on PC, and it still rivals many modern releases.

lazyboyblue1102d ago

I logged in just to upvote this.

NoFanBoy1102d ago

Easy money, maybe they will eventually if these remasters sell well.

porkChop1102d ago

Because they don't have the money to finance a project of that scale. They're likely hoping the remasters sell well enough to kick-start development of the next game.

RE Zero would be better to do first over RE1 because they can tie the story into RE1 more.

The original RE Remake was weird because Rebecca never mentioned anything about what happened in Zero and it felt so disjointed because Zero was developed during the Remake and they clearly didn't share any notes with one another.

Why did PS copy gamepass if it's so terrible and unprofitable? PS Now was before gamepass but it was streaming trash that no one had any interest in.

And honestly the way the industry releases overpriced and broken games with day one season passes and dlc who wouldn't want to just pay for a subscription instead of $70 per game?

Only biased PS fans would defend paying more to a corporation rather than an option that's cheaper for the consumer overall. If it's from an indie studio that needs the sales that's different but games published by larger companies are fine on a subscription model. Also any of these devs who complain did decide to put their games on gamepass in thr first place.

ocelot0718h ago

Ahhh yes the typical but but but Sony in a Microsoft article.

When did Sony copy Microsoft? I havent seen Sony's big day one titles such as God of war Ragnarok or GT7? Do you want to know why they are not on the service? Because people are still willing to PAY for the games. Sony has already admitted they lost millions putting Horizon Forbidden West and Ratchet & Clank on PS+ Extra.

"larger companies are fine on a subscription model" Oh really? So why is all the cod games yet to be on it? Where is elden ring? Resident Evil 4 Remake? Street Fighter 6? Boulders Gate 3? Alan Wake 2? Where are they of gamepass is great and big publishers are fine putting newer games on it?

I'll tell you where they are. They are currently still selling for their respected publisher's. You know actually making them money. That money they can use to fund the next project.

who wouldn't want to just pay for a subscription instead of $70 per game?

I'm one of the millions who much rather pay $70 so fully support the publisher. Why do we do this? Well for starters I rather just pay for it rather than keep renting it each month. If we all just kept renting years ago blockbuster would still be around. Secondly, I rather we have AAA titles in 10 years time to enjoy. Rather than play mobile quality crap from a subscription.

Tell me how this is a good thing for gaming going forward. The last time I subbed to Gamepass was October 2023. During that one month subscription I played the newly released Starfield, Forza and a few other titles. All for the cost of about $7. Since then Microsoft have not released anything I want to try out or put anything on GP I want to try. So they last made $7 from me 8 months ago.

In the last 3 months. I have bought Sea of Thieves on PS5 (earning MS more money on that than my 1 month subscription to gamepass). Resident Evil 4 for £20 and Diablo 4 for £25 (again earning MS more buying this than buying a sub). Tell me how it's best for gaming I pay $7 and play the latest and greatest for a month. Rather than just buying what I want even if it means waiting a few months and getting it cheaper than full price yet earning the publisher more than renting said games of a monthly sub.

darthv7210h ago

...but didn't this game leave GP and then join PS+?

If a sub service is so bad, why get into another one right away?

Cacabunga10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Finally devs waking up! More will follow .. reminds me of capcom during PS3,360 era almost going bankrupt they released extremely poor games because Xbox gave them paychecks not to release them on PS3 for as period. Sales were terrible and they went away from that.

Hofstaderman17h ago

Sony has never released new titles day one. They experimented with Forbidden West which was fairly new and quickly discovered that it cannabalized sales. XBOX gamepass was always an act of desperation to remain relevant and in their desperation they effectively dug their grave where today everybody is biding their time for their formerly exclusive titles. In a nutshell GamePass made XBOX not relevant.

Plague-Doctor2710h ago

It wasn't desperation. Subscription Models had a very different outlook in 2017 and then with the gaming surge during COVID reaching critical mass seemed more and more possible.

Phil convinced Satya to chase a trend and it hasn't worked out

shinoff21836h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Pretty much. People can say what they want but Ms said it themselves with the court papers. It was definitely desperation. Xbox was getting it handed to them. They were desperate.

lellkay17h ago

Literally dev who put game on gamepass:
It's not good

TheProfessional: but but sony but sony

S2Killinit16h ago(Edited 16h ago)

Sony didnt copy MS. MS copied Sony, then MS went on to make xbox a subscription device. Remember that part? Yeah.

MrNinosan15h ago

You're not too bright, right?

First of all, Sony didn't copy Microsoft regarding PS+ and GamePass, which you admit to early in your comment, but with some faults. PSNow was not only streaming.
The mentality at Xbox gamers, is to NOT buy games, because they are used to get it on GamePass, preferbly day 1 like with all Xbox Studios games.

This is not a thing at PS+ and never was.
Sure there was plenty day 1 games on PS+ like, Rocket League, Stray, Sea of Stars, Tchia, Operation Tango etc, but those didn't take away from gamers that it was more like a "bonus" than a "thing".

Playstation gamers buy games, a lot of games and PS+ has been proving to be way better for business than GamePass, both by actually having more subscribers but also no eating up sales.

dveio15h ago(Edited 15h ago)

"Only biased PS fans would defend paying more to a corporation rather than an option that's cheaper for the consumer overall.“

How can you possibly come to this conclusion?

First, you pay for a subscription.

Then download games. But games will eventually leave the service. You will again need to buy them if you want to play them ever again. Or if you cancel your subscription. Right?

Eventhough this may NOT have an effect on every subscriber, this IS in fact the economical motiviation behind the service like GP.

If you are not already paying "double" this way, you pay at a 1.2 or maybe even at a 1.5 ratio eventually than opposed to simply buying the game in the first place.

As I said, this maybe doesn't apply to every subscriber. But this doesn't erase the fact of this business model existing. And possibly keep growing.

It's driving me nuts at times that especially the die hard Xboxers seem not to understand what they are actually cheering for foolishly.

The Wood14h ago

xbots always tryna group...

..they'll never understand or refuse to acknowledge why these two console brands are miles apart. Gamespass isn't the golden egg some would have you believe. Its hit its peak and is nowhere near the demanded target of subs by the purse holders

Its hit its peak and is nowhere near the demanded target of subs by the purse holders. on top of that it seems more devs on top of the devs that have shunned the service are not seeing the value of subs vs actual sales. Sell first, sub later works better than sub off the bat. MSGaming has a major sea change decision to make regarding COD. Do they release it dod and lose a high portion of up front revenue or either up the price of gp on the whole or create an even higher sub tier to cushion the blow or don't release it on gp at all and potentially damage the good will gesture reiterated not too long ago. The acquisition money wasn't free money....they'll have to pick their poison

anast12h ago

"Why did PS copy gamepass if it's so terrible and unprofitable?"

They didn't copy GP. They aren't dumb enough to put their exclusives day 1.

"Who wouldn't want to just pay for a subscription instead of $70 per game?"

People who don't like to rent things.

outsider162411h ago

It's funny when he says who wouldn't pay for a subscription instead of paying 70$. Well no shit...if MS keeps releasing average titles who wouldnt..🤣

Cockney9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

The reason is playstation didn't copy anybody and they don't release broken games, their games are still not day 1 and Ps players still buy games so ps+ is just an option for those that want a subscription service, the fact playstation doesn’t push it front and centre should tell you a lot.
On xbox gamepass IS front and centre with an option to buy games on the side, look how that is panning out for them!
Xbox fans are the only ones trumpeting this from the rooftops

shinoff21838h ago

Weren't we able to download ps3 on ps3 and ps4 on ps4 systems back then I really don't remember.

Truth is Ms still copied Sony and made a couple adjustments. One adjustment being day one games which clearly has been xboxs issue hence the ps5 releases, and they groomed the base to not buy games.

romulus236h ago

To be fair it takes it's own level of bias to not see the harm day one game pass is doing to xbox and the industry as a whole. Harm that xbox themselves have admitted to.

ChasterMies6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

“Why did PS copy gamepass”

This is a long story that spans decades. Sony subscription services for games (PS+ and PS Now) before Microsoft. Sony and Microsoft weren’t the only ones. We’ve seen OnLive die, Google’s Stadia die, and disc rental services die. What made Game Pass successful is the amount of money Microsoft is able to lose. Everyone expected Sony to offer a one-to-one Game Pass competitor and they did. To actually make money, Somy sells its own games for at least a year before relegating them to PS+. Sony also has scale. More PS5s sold means more users which means more money. Will these subscription services last? Probably not. Few things do.

Flewid6383h ago

As a huge fan of PS Premium, I don't recall a single AAA game launching on it. Even a AA game.

Everything I've found on PS Premium has already been out for sometime. Better selection too. There are games I trialed that I said "yup, I'm buying".

I feel no sympathy for the guy, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that putting your game on gamepass would affect sales.

JEECE13h ago

Seriously, how is it that devs need one of their games to bomb in sales due to Gamepass for them to realize what so many people could easily predict? Like people joke about "armchair CEOs" on here, but at least with respect to the effect of Gamepass, we keep seeing that the armchair CEOs are actually smarter than the real heads of these indie studios.

Skuletor6h ago

Probably short-sightedness when he saw that initial Microsoft check, temporarily made all reason jump out the window 🤑

shinoff21835h ago

In some of the devs defense they know the game won't sell. So why not take the gamepass check. Hopefully yaluza/like a dragon sell decent on Xbox. I'd like to keep this series around.

dveio17h ago(Edited 17h ago)

The 'day-one' feature is the breaker or maker with GP, business-wise.

GP is no Netflix.

Because, from all the Marvel's Avengers to Sicarios, illustratively speaking, they all had their box office money. Before they had entered Netflix.

This concept shows you what Microsoft have actually put themselves into.

And what situation studios put themselves into if they go day-one into GP.

solideagle12h ago

GP/PS Extra day one is best suited for GAAS or free to play games

truthBombs17h ago

Why not sell your game the traditional way first? Then after about 6 months to a year put it on a sub service.

Day one on gamepass is a gamble. It works for some (Pal world) and not for others.

anast12h ago

It's the old psych. experiment. Set out some candy and tell the person they can have it all now, or if they wait, they can have double the amount. Most choose the first option, then complain when it doesn't work out for them.

What is turkish mythology? They don't have a mythology of their own. Unless we are going to rewrite history? Can someone fill us in on what mythology turkey has.

Eonjay1d 6h ago (Edited 1d 6h ago )

It could mean folklore, proverb, or even fairytale like Jack and the magic beanstalk. It could even just be lore about historical figures like you even see in American culture like Jonny Appleseed (a real person whose life story was mythologized).

I see. I was thinking in terms of actual deities. But that makes sense.

Yes I do, which is why I know turkey does not really have one of its own. At least not in the same sense as some ancient cultures that have a mythology that is separate and distinct from the rest.
