And you still need a decent rig to run it.

Good games BTW.

But not worth buying a new rig for, MP Sux.

M337ING6317d ago

$600 isn't too much to ask for...

Leio6317d ago

Well 600$ isnt much for you maybe.. but i would never spend it just for Crysis

evrfighter6317d ago (Edited 6317d ago )

bet $800-$1000 wasnt much of an issue when you bought your hdtv for ur console right?

Spydiggity6317d ago

no way you could run this game on max settings for under 1500 dollars. but it is a really good game.

i wouldn't buy a new pc just for it though. but PCs have so much to offer, if it's time to upgrade, spend a few hundred more and get a real rig. you won't regret it. on sites like n4g we are led to believe that crysis is the top tier game, and you can get pretty comparable quality with a ps3 or 360. this is absolutely not true. pc gaming is almost an entire generation ahead of consoles. consoles are budget PCs basically. this MIGHT change as the console market continues to grow because developers won't even bother pushing technology, they'll just dumb down their engines for consoles. but for now, if you want to see true next generation graphics, PC is where it's at.

I'll pick this up and I will also get Crysis for the PS3 version later this fall.

heyheyhey6317d ago

man that's weird, i was thinking about this idea not long ago.. and i also thought this would be the version that's coming to the PS3 (remember the numerous confirmations that it's coming in 09?)... i expect an announcement soon about the PS3 (and possibly 360.. although the rumors said it was only for PS3) version

free2game3656317d ago

it was never confirmed, that's just a bunch of bull, PS3 and 360 don't have near enough memory to run this game

M337ING6317d ago

Crytek already said that although they're making multi-platform games, they're not even considering bringing Crysis to the consoles.

TABSF6317d ago

you can get a quad core system with 4GB of ram and a 9800GT all for £510 and today currency exchange it is around $753 but with no monitor then again if you already have a hdtv you could get a dvi to hdmi converter. this could run crysis at high setting at 720p with around 60+ fp/s.

2 things kills frame rate for my gtx 285 and that is Anti-aliasing at x8 and x16
http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...
and resolution, im at 1600 by 1200 and that is around 1.9 mega pixel 200 thousand off 1080p but because my card is very powerful there is no need for using anything lower. 720p is less than 1 mega pixel and that will increase frame rates as lower end graphics cards that don't have the raw processing power to get high performance with high graphics

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

DivineHand125485d 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.

PrinceOfAnger490d 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!

RaidenBlack489d ago

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

PrinceOfAnger489d ago (Edited 489d ago )

Looks really nice with VR mod too

FinalFantasyFanatic489d ago

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

Profchaos488d ago

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

isarai489d ago

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

RedDeadLB489d ago

That CPU performance thing is preventing it.

isarai488d 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

DivineHand125489d 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.

HyperMoused489d ago

Never played it, worth a try you think?

Profchaos488d ago (Edited 488d 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."

RaidenBlack502d ago

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

vTuro24501d ago

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

RaidenBlack502d ago

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

DefenderOfDoom2502d ago

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

JunonZanon502d ago (Edited 502d ago )

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

LikAChicken501d 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.

DivineHand125501d 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.
