Crysis has received such long-term hype that it's almost a shock to be playing it. It's especially a shock to be playing with such mediocre frame rates from such powerful machines, but who needs that anisotropic shit, anyway? After finishing the demo, CVG decided to start again, and find what fun the tropics have to offer the game-breaking mind.
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?"
I just got this game the other day and I'm almost done with it. Granted I haven't spent nearly as much time as other people messing around, I haven't experienced anything very awful or terribly glitchy. The worst so far has been how easy it is to blow up the trucks sometimes.
Otherwise, this game is one of my favorite single player games ever. Incredibly immersive if you have the rig for High/Very High settings. I thought the beach assault level was of similar, epic proportions of invasions of Normandy in WWII shooters. The tank battle shortly after was incredibly cool.
Crysis has convinced me Cryengine2 has pushed the bar of standards in games in more than just graphics. Massive credit to Crytek.
A lot of that is because Half Life 2 was delayed for so long too. The game came almost a year late because of all of the trouble they had with people taking the source code. On average, that helped a lot of people when it came to minimum requirements on the release. By then, Half Life 2 was just has impressive use of shading technology and what's still really good animations. But other games had caught up by then. The way it actually plays is why it's so successful in my opinion. There's not too many other shooters that are like Half Life.
Crysis doesn't exactly push on the same things, and to say it will run on a PS3 is arguable. Sure the cell is absolutely amazing, but the game is beyond demanding for todays generation of video cards, and those surpass the RSX.
The way they described their activities in Crysis almost made me cry from laughter....
lol
With HDD caching, the very specialized SPUs (crysis is very physics intesive, which the SPUs KICK @SS at handling), and the decently powerful RSX, I think it would definitely be possible to see Crysis on PS3.
Maybe not at 1080p, but I see a resolution like 720p as being doable....why not, eh?
One can dream....
