IGN: Crysis was long heralded as the game your rig needed to run to be considered “1337.” So now that it’s on consoles, how does it hold up?
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?"
Kind of tells me that we're ready for the next generation of consoles. Crysis is a 2007 game and the current consoles can barely play it (still looks better on a PC with low settings). BF3 is another one that is really showing the age of this console generation. I understand how a lot people want to hang on and stretch this generation out even longer; money is tight. However, the longer this goes on, the bigger these differences are going to become.
Either way would be good for PC gamers, though. If this generation drags out a whole lot longer, the differences between versions may drive more people to the PC for their gaming needs and PC game development would get some more love. On the other hand, if the new generation gets started soon (hopefully 2012), then console games will be on par with the PC again and no longer holding back PC game development (with lots of developers still making crappy ports instead of taking advantage of the superior hardware). PC gamers are in kind of a "holding pattern" until the next generation gets kicked off.
I've played Crysis 1 on PC (4-years ago); and when I bought Crysis on XBL I thought it looked great.
This comparison shows how much farther ahead PCs actually are.
PC
waste-land
consoles
PS3 is the winner BTW the PS3 is better than DX11 ULTRA
Look great, too bad I already own this game on teh PC.
Max it out, but I never finished it. I lost my save (Thanks Steam!) maybe I get back on it.,..
