Crysis Performance Improvements

Madshrimpsn has an article about "Cuban Ultima Doom Sword's CustomCrysisConfig," a modification that provides the seemingly contradiction of improved performance and improved visuals in Crysis. They offer benchmark results that indeed show impressive frame rate gains and they point the way to FileFront as where to download the mod.

I don't think anyone actually cares about this game due to the fact that its only on PC. Crytek made a huge mistake by not porting it over to consoles.

Transporter476446d ago

dude no console can handle this game, have you even played it, i can run this thing on very high without a problem and its just amazing i think this game doesn't deserver anything less than an actual pc

AppleSlime6446d ago

I'm getting a new rig later this year, and it's definitely one of the first games I plan on getting.

ChampIDC6446d ago

I plan on getting it once I upgrade my rig. They'd have to tone down the graphics way too much to get it on consoles. This is the kind of game that will steadily sell as hardware gets cheaper, since so many people want it but can't run it yet. Plus, it doesn't have the $60 pricetag that console games tend to keep for far too long.

BattleAxe6446d ago

Spending big dollars on your PC amounts to nothing more than a waste of money. Its sad that you have to upgrade your PC all of the time for new game releases.
Graphics are only getting better on consoles and really, the line between top of the line computer graphics and the graphics on the PS3 is becoming really thin and doesn't justify the investment.

Gorgon6446d ago

"1.2 - Selling 1.5 million copies in less than a year is your definition of a mistake?"

According to Crytek, yes, since they said they are disappointed at the sales and that after Warhead its the end for Crytek exclusives on the PC.

Charmers6446d ago

@BattleAxe that's funny last time I checked the resolutions were actually getting worse on the PS3. Lets see COD 4 @ 1024 x 600, MGS 4 @ 1024 x 768 (a res I dropped about 4 years ago) and GTA 4 @ 1120 x 640. Infact it is becoming a rarity to see HD resolutions on either console. I do know that my PC though can play ALL games at 1680 x 1050. But of course you will ignore all this and keep spouting the console "party" line.

ForzaAzzurri6445d ago

What fudge chuckers like BattleAxe dont realize is that high end pc's are 10 years ahead of consoles and games like Crysis are meant to be enjoyed by people who strive for the latest and greatest. OK, it might be costly but its for an experience that consoles have never and will never deliver.

narked6445d ago

and dont forget all those illegal downloads

Super powers Marines + Jungles + console limitations = HAZE or turok or the start of halo 3.

It the graphics and the physics that make crysis great and I havent seen that level of graphical "oh snap" on any ps3/360 game yet

Lyan6446d ago

I hate to state such an opinion but, it really goes to show the level of coding that was put into the game to optimize it for consumers when fans have to resort to creating mods to make the game run faster, smoother, and more efficient.

I understand that designing games for pc requires a lot of coding to make it viable for nearly any style of setup, but cmon. If your game doesn't run smooth on a 3k+ computer at high settings then its not solely the fact that the engine is so advanced, but rather it wasn't coded efficiently or optimized correctly.

Old Snake6446d ago

SO does this just make the game run better?

Winter47th6446d ago

Yes, it actually does, and I'm amazed by it, I thought this game was broken beyond repair, but the community and their persistence to fix the sh!t storm Crytek created is nothing but admirable.

I used to get 20-28 fps before I installed this beauty, now it's a constant 45-50, using 8800gt, dual-core, give it a shot, it's only 13 megs.

THESWAT6446d ago

where did u install it? like which directory did u chose?

Winter47th6446d ago (Edited 6446d ago )

A custom directory, you'd have to manually locate it via the installer, quite easy, it goes like this:

C/D:Program files/Electronic Arts/Crytek/Crysis.

I cannot recommend this mod highly enough, it's amazing, I tried almost every tweak before this, Lexus Silentum and XConfig, didn't work, but this one, leaps and bounds in term of performance gain, same high quality graphics with major performance boost, what more can you ask for?

Now there's no need for patch 1.3 TBH.

diegodon6445d ago

Are their any faults, like less quality image, etc.?

centrum2k6446d ago

Can you run Crysis in VR? Crysis VR Mod Available for Download

Playing it right now looks amazing! :D
so much fun, i hope they make a vr mod for crysis 2 / 3 too!

DivineHand125398d ago

This is amazing. This is the direction VR should go in to boost adoption. Since I have beaten every Crysis except 1, this is now a good excuse to correct that problem.

Crytek Wanted Crysis To Be "Future-Proof"

According to Crytek CEO Cervat Yerli, "I want[ed] to make sure Crysis does not age, that [it] is future proofed, meaning that if I played it three years from now, it should look better than today." Yerli and the team designed Crysis' highest graphical settings for the PC hardware of 2010 and beyond.

While Crytek has officially announced Crysis 4 is in development, nothing new has surfaced. For now, gamers' only way to scratch that itch is to play the Crysis Remastered Trilogy available on PC and consoles.

OG 2007 Crysis (not the remastered weirdo), is & will forever be a legend amongst the PC community.

PrinceOfAnger403d ago

This video will always be impressive to me, even for years to come. Some things here are better than games we have today, OG crysis is the best version!

https://youtu.be/SVg63_aNr-...

RaidenBlack403d ago

OG Crysis physics, man ... amazing! Thanks for the reminder!

PrinceOfAnger402d ago (Edited 402d ago )

Looks really nice with VR mod too

FinalFantasyFanatic402d ago

I'm still shocked that it looks as good as it does today, puts some modern games to shame.

Profchaos401d ago

I thought the remaster was fine tbh some rough edges at launch but after some patches it's decent

isarai403d ago

I mean the lighting and physics still hold up extremely well. I still revisit it from time to time.

RedDeadLB402d ago

That CPU performance thing is preventing it.

isarai402d ago

Yeah unfortunately Crystek's decision to bet on the linear progression of clock speed in CPUs was derailed by the unforseen shift towards multicore CPUs. It just wasn't built with that in mind because that wasn't even in the conversation at the moment

DivineHand125402d ago

I remember when I tried to play Crysis with my Intel Pentium Dual core E2200 @2.2GHz , 4GB ram and GeForce 9400gt. I was a kid back then and that was the best I could do. I would get about 15 to 20 fps. When I over clocked the CPU to 2.8GHz I would get about 40fps. The experience wasn't good at all and it was the only PC game I could not run back then unless and put the settings on low. At that point the game went from cutting edge graphics to PS2 graphics. To this day I haven't completed the OG Crysis. I was able to complete Crysis 2 and 3 after building a new PC when I got my first job.

HyperMoused402d ago

Never played it, worth a try you think?

Profchaos401d ago (Edited 401d ago )

Worth a try just because it's the only game that lets you pick up a turtle on the beach and throw it at enemy soldiers that should have been a back of the box feature.

But nah seriously unless you're nostalgic for it I'm not sure if it will hold up

Crytek went so overboard on the Crysis tech and sent devs to photograph leaves in Haiti

"The shader work that came out of this was mind-blowing at times."

RaidenBlack415d ago

Amazing, often misunderstood
The dumb AI was deliberate, so that the players can explore and experiment with the world and all the features.

vTuro24414d ago

It really is. Most people only remember it for its graphics but the gameplay was equally amazing.

RaidenBlack415d ago

Hope they try to pour nearly same amount of dedication to the new Crysis 4

DefenderOfDoom2415d ago

Well worth the extra work ! I enjoyed all 3 Crisis games and would also love a new one .

JunonZanon415d ago (Edited 415d ago )

Still wish game development was overall this passionate and minutious about their projects. Obviously, there are still some great studios as exceptions.

LikAChicken414d ago

I’ll never forget Far Cry 2 and the amount of details they packed in.

Yea there were some issues with the gameplay loop and the sickness aspect but you could tell they really tried to nail details.

DivineHand125414d ago

I haven't beaten the first Crysis but I did play Crysis 2 and Crysis 3. I know some PC players were annoyed by the last 2 games being developed with consoles in mind but I believe it was an improvement. I had a great time with Crysis 3 to the point where I believe it was too short.
