Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello admitted today that his company was "on the wrong horse" when it opted to focus primarily on Xbox 360 and PS3 during the console transition period.
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.
Let these EA chumps board the Wii bandwagon. Infact why don't they just go Wii Exclusive. Trust me, the real gamers will be great. We don't need their cash cow rehashes every year. I'm sick of Madden rehash every year.
These idiots just go where the money is, it doesn't matter what they're making.
I am surprised that you didnt go with the Wii. But I guess you didnt know it was going to sell like hotcakes, so therefore you mised out. After all you are nothing but a money hungry cash cow that just wants to go with wii, because its going to have a very big install base. You are the worst game company ever, and I hope you go down like Enron. Please, go bankrupt and make the gaming community better.
They might aswell because they can't develop a great game with all they money and skill they have. They'd rather focus on 2D images of cookery. Here's a toast to the death of EA.
big deal im sure everyone still has their gamecube dev kits... not like there is ANY learning curve involved... and really who cares? the only good games for it will come from nintendo anyways...
p.s. i AM a nintendo fan 1st and foremost (i have every system of theirs minus the wii) so this is just a little rant of mine dont take it to heart any of you wii fanatics out there. i just dont think its right to pay $250 for a system i essentially already own with a new remote tacked on.
No one buys any game for the wii, 90% of the people who bought the wii are non gamers who thinks it´s fun for a couple of months. Then it will collect dust untill theres a party and they take it out to play wii sports just to put it away in oblivion again..
