GameDaily reviews Crysis

GameDaily writes:

"U.S. Special Forces, equipped with high-tech nanosuits, are sent to a remote island in the Philippines to investigate some strange energy readings linked to an archeological excavation site. They must be careful, because the North Koreans arrive on the scene first, and will kill to protect their discovery. However, it turns out there's more at stake than being the first country to uncover an infinite energy source, and it's not long before the excavation reveals an alien menace that unleashes a full scale invasion. Calling it a Crysis is a major understatement."

Nice score and review. So far all reviews are 9 to 10 (Even GameSpot gave it 9.5). Someone should really take 1UP to a doctor (8/10 for Crysis, 7/10 for AC!?).

"Someone should really take 1UP to a doctor (8/10 for Crysis, 7/10 for AC!?)." - LOL!

MK_Red6034d ago

Just checked MetaCritic. Crysis was at 96 and AC was at 93 before 1UP. Now what? Crysis is 93 and AC is 89!!! Seriously and the only low scores both have are from 1UP, neither has below 9 aside from crazy 1UP!

BloodySinner6034d ago

Well, I somewhat agree with 1UP's score for Crysis, MK_Red. Let's be honest here, besides the awesome visuals and all, the game doesn't really bring anything new to the FPS genre.

As for the Assassin's Creed review... I believe they need their heads checked.

MK_Red6034d ago

I have to say that my main problem is AC not Crysis because I also think that it does not deserve 9.5 (GameSpot) and 10s. But after readin many reviews for Crysis, I think they game's open world nature may have more surprises than we thought. My prediction for Crysis scores was from 7.5 to 9. Crysis has AI problems as well as chance of becoming more than repetitive.

But AC as you said is pure madness. "I believe they need their heads checked." Bubbles for you my friend :)

I didn't have a long hands-on with AC but even a short one is beyond sweet.

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.

TheColbertinator408d ago

Crysis blew my mind back then and still kinda does.

bunt-custardly408d 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_Suzumiya479d ago

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

SonyStyled479d ago (Edited 479d ago )

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

jasonismoney479d ago

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

SonyStyled479d 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

cthulhucultist479d 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

Fist4achin479d ago

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

SonyStyled479d 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

JEECE479d 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.

iNcRiMiNaTi479d ago

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

JEECE479d 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?"
