Crysis Preview

Crysis' credentials are huge. Produced by Far Cry developers Crytek, Crysis is a first-person shooter of considerable pedigree.

Crysis is also a PC game of exceptional graphical grunt. Indeed, running on Crytek's advanced CryENGINE 2 – and advanced evolution of the Far Cry building blocks – Crysis looks set to shunt PC gaming kicking and screaming into incredible new territory...

thi sgame will blow every console game out of the water

weekapaugh6822d ago

i think the 5 people who have a computer to run this game are really going to dig it.

Rybnik6822d ago

I'm not bashing Halo 3. I played the beta and it is awesome and extremely fun! But from a graphic standpoint alone, the new COD4 and Haze look WAY better currently. This may change by release, I don't know.

Other than that, yeah this author is right. Gotta say though, seeing that new multiplayer footage for COD4 shows that lighting-wise it is toe to toe with Crysis. The models too are are very close. I never thought that these would be comparing to each other, but they do. Haze also is right up there. I guess it was really wrong to assume that just as in past generations the PC would always be miles ahead of consoles. These too titles definitely prove otherwise.

Too bad my PC won't run it on it's highest settings. PC gaming can be really expensive. Looks like I will have to upgrade.

Mecha1056821d ago

yeah all i need is about $350-$400 to run this game at full settings no problem :D

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

DivineHand125395d 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.

PrinceOfAnger401d 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!

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

PrinceOfAnger400d ago (Edited 400d ago )

Looks really nice with VR mod too

FinalFantasyFanatic400d ago

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

Profchaos399d ago

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.

RedDeadLB400d ago

That CPU performance thing is preventing it.

isarai399d 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

DivineHand125400d 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.

HyperMoused400d ago

Never played it, worth a try you think?

Profchaos399d ago (Edited 399d 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."

RaidenBlack413d ago

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

vTuro24412d ago

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

RaidenBlack413d ago

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

DefenderOfDoom2413d ago

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

JunonZanon413d ago (Edited 413d ago )

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

LikAChicken412d 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.

DivineHand125412d 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.
