Talk about taking a flying leap into the future of gaming.. Welcome home Crysis.

This will be the Greatest PC game of 2007. And maybe even 2008

It's even more important then that time that guy in the Black Mask said "Luke, I am your Father"...LoL

RISE! CRYSIS ... RISE!

Shaka2K66907d ago

But how much is it gonna cost to play this game, $3000 ??? wow thats even worst then paying $400 every 3 months to play halo 2.1.

Hazy > Crysis.

/nuff said.

Vojkan6907d ago

Crysis is great good looking game, but problem or question is, how many people will be able to play it as "max" specification? Like 2%? This is showcase title.

DeadlyFire6907d ago

It doesn't cost that much. Use that calculater on your PC. You can easily get a good PC within that range for $1200-2400. Depending on what speed RAM and what processor you go with. Intel CPUs get a slash in July and a few new Intel Core 2 Duos coming with cheaper prices around the same time.

Q6600 Quad-core CPU + Motherboard = $499
8800 GTS(320 MB DDR3)GPU = $300
160 GB HDD = $60
2 GB RAM = $100

Case + PSU
1. Case + 700 W = $100
2. Case + 500 W = $40

16x DVD-ROM + 52x CD drive = $25
Monitor 19" - 22" = $150-300

Cheaper side: $1150
Higher end of same stuff = $1360

Also add in Win XP($100) or Vista($100-400), Keyboard+Mouse($20-50), maybe speakers($2-100)

PSU can vary as well depending on what you want in your system. Like if you wanted SLI best to get 600-800 Watt.

All of those prices come from Tigerdirect.com might can get better deals on some other sites like newegg.com, and others.

The_Firestarter6907d ago (Edited 6907d ago )

You're absolutely correct, DeadlyFire. I hate assumptions, like as if it costs "$3,000" to play the game. It's so annoying, I swear. I know a bunch of people think this game looks really good, but are afraid to admit it, because they wouldn't want to spend "$3,000 for just one game." That over-exaggerations is so typically widely accepted, but incorrect.

ASSASSYN 36o6907d ago

I want to finger-F$%^ this game.

Kaneda6906d ago (Edited 6906d ago )

No wwayy! that is CGI pre-rendering...that is not game play...

Rybnik6906d ago (Edited 6906d ago )

I think I can say with 100% certainty that Crysis on max settings easily looks better than 2005 Killzone CGI. OMG!! that second video was mind blowing!! Haze, and Uncharted look good, but this is really within a few percentage points of photo-real. The problem is that few will be able to enjoy it like this, 'til at least a year so after it comes out..!

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

DivineHand125488d 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.

PrinceOfAnger493d 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!

RaidenBlack492d ago

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

PrinceOfAnger492d ago (Edited 492d ago )

Looks really nice with VR mod too

FinalFantasyFanatic492d ago

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

Profchaos491d ago

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

isarai492d ago

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

RedDeadLB492d ago

That CPU performance thing is preventing it.

isarai491d 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

DivineHand125492d 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.

HyperMoused492d ago

Never played it, worth a try you think?

Profchaos491d ago (Edited 491d 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."

RaidenBlack505d ago

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

vTuro24504d ago

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

RaidenBlack505d ago

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

DefenderOfDoom2505d ago

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

JunonZanon505d ago (Edited 505d ago )

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

LikAChicken504d 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.

DivineHand125504d 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.
