The evolution of Crysis's lighting; new lighting and shaders boost the game's visuals to new levels

DSOGaming writes: "There is no denying that Crysis' vanilla lighting looks a bit dated nowadays. And although you can tweak the SSAO and bring to the table some amazing results, Crytek's member 'Wulfen' uploaded a video that shows off his new lighting system and the amazing combination of it with Cry-Styves' Shaders. This combo seems quite demanding - if we can judge by the footage that is choppy, though we don't know the user's test system - but it surely looks sexy. This is lighting/shader combo boosts Crysis visuals to a whole new level, so be sure to check out the video!"

The original looks best. Those lights aren't meant to be blindly bright in my opinion. It looked better when they were just a dim glow instead of spot lights.

john24533d ago

Original is washed out. Pay attention to the characters as there is a huge difference

deadpoole4533d ago

Since from when ... severe black crush and blindin white became the new bar for the next level.

Now u tell me ... when u turn the tube light on ... does it have limited path of area where it glows like in the video or does it glow in omnidirectional (Answer is definately the later).

and the Styves stuff ... like lookin directly into the light and have that bar effect on screen ... hate it.

RedDead4533d ago

Yeah the characters look miles better, and the ground

You do know that Cry-Styves stands for Crytek's Styves, right? Or you are just new in the modding scene and don't even know that Styves has already released the shaders

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?"
