Crysis proves that PC games will always dominate consoles when it comes to bleeding-edge tech.
From Gamepro: "It's official -- the technological power of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 is fizzling into overwrought hype. Even the best looking and performing new-generation console games still fall short of the raw graphical power display by heavy-hitting PC games like Company of Heroes. Now, the next-generation of PC games is right around the corner, and they're poised to blow console gaming off the tech map once and for all. If you thought PC gaming was dead, think again.
In 2007, games like Hellgate: London, Spore, and Half-Life 2: Episode Two will help bring PC gaming back into the limelight. But it's Crysis that will really take gaming to the next level. The beauty of Crysis, though, is that it is being designed for a wide variety of PC specifications, not just the high-end rigs that cost a month's salary.
But judging by what we've seen and played, Crysis may be one game that's worth a big-budget PC upgrade."
Holger Frydrych has just released a cool VR Mod for the 2007 version of Crytek's first-person shooter, Crysis.
Playing it right now looks amazing! :D
so much fun, i hope they make a vr mod for crysis 2 / 3 too!
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.
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.
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!

I'm still shocked that it looks as good as it does today, puts some modern games to shame.
I thought the remaster was fine tbh some rough edges at launch but after some patches it's decent
I mean the lighting and physics still hold up extremely well. I still revisit it from time to time.
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
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.
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
"The shader work that came out of this was mind-blowing at times."
Amazing, often misunderstood
The dumb AI was deliberate, so that the players can explore and experiment with the world and all the features.
It really is. Most people only remember it for its graphics but the gameplay was equally amazing.
Well worth the extra work ! I enjoyed all 3 Crisis games and would also love a new one .
Still wish game development was overall this passionate and minutious about their projects. Obviously, there are still some great studios as exceptions.
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.
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.
And everyone votes lame because they're a bunch of console fanboys.
People that know tech history were saying this before the 360 launched.
like the PS3, PC's utilizes tech to achive those graphics. and they cost in THE THOUSANDS for a few steps over what a consolecan do. like the PS3's $500-600 compared to the 360's $300-400
"Crysis proves that PC games will always dominate consoles when it comes to bleeding-edge tech"
wow... a modular upgradable device beats a static non-upgradable one. Super-biggie surprise there. All Crysis proves is that DX10 based games look better than DX9 based games. Geeze I'd hope so. :(
GP: What can current PCs do that new consoles can't? With new-generation consoles booming in popularity, do you think upcoming PC titles like Crysis are going to prove again that PCs lead gaming technology?
CY: CRYSIS IS TAKING FULL ADVANTAGE OF DX10 WITH OUR INITIAL RELEASE SP, IN THIS CASE. PCS STILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT LEAD AS FAR AS GAMING TECHNOLOGY IS CONCERNED....... Our vision is to deliver the best FPS experience and we believe that's only possible on PC.
GP: Are the any plans for an Xbox 360 version, and would cross-platform compatibility be possible?
CY: The inevitable question! Of course we're looking at the options but now we're working hard to bring the Crysis as a PC game to market, one which will hopefully set a new bar for FPS games, that's our goal, and we will push very hard to deliver this.
I'm guessing after they make a DX9 port, then we'll see it on the 360 and PS3.
this game looks better on any pc than it would on the consoles. You will need an high end one and put a lot of money in it. It probably won't even run on a average pc. Correct me if I'm wrong, I don't know much about pc-gaming.
Both PS3 and Xbox 360 are more like Direct X 9.5. These machines are quite capable at doing more than what was offered on to DX9 users. Now the question is: Is the Graphic Bar raised by DX10 worth $2000 grand more than a PS3 or Xbox 360. If the Wii is any indication that Powerful Graphics is not the only factor when consumers invest into gaming then I doubt that pretty gaming is the only factor. I love PC gaming because I'm a Big on Art and CG(as well as good gameplay), but at what price. I interested in the PS3 and I have an Xbox 360 but I can't afford a PS3 right now. I have a feeling I will be able to purchase a PS3 long before I will be able to purchase a new $2500 DX10 gaming rig.
