I seriously hate Cel-Shading. It looks awesome on some games but that's just it. For example Killer 7 on PS2 was awesome. But Borderlands?

mrv3215786d ago

Borderlands before going cell-shaded actually looked quite bad, making it cell shaded probably helped with performance and cured the problem of low resolution textures.

Folezicle5785d ago

Zelda: Windwaker artwork has to be my favourite cell-shaded artwork.. I thought it suited the game well

NecrumSlavery5785d ago

Wind Waker was toonshaded, one of the most unique styles and one of the most beautiful games ever made. Other great shaded games are oil paint style Okami, and highgloss colorful celshaded games like Killer 7 and No More Heroes, and sin city-esk MadWorld. And of course windows paint looking Pixeljunk Shooter.

Conloles5785d ago

Bu bu but consoles can mod

likedamaster5785d ago (Edited 5785d ago )

Borderlands, Crackdown 1, and my favorite Prince of Persia were awesome looking cel-shaded games. Borderlands going cel-shaded was what actually got me to buy it.

Crysis on the other hand, doesn't look that great cel-shaded. It doesn't do the game justice.

nveenio5785d ago

That's not cellshaded, it's outlined. There's a HUGE difference. Still a neat effect, though. I wouldn't use it in game.

Lol no, that's more Rage

kevnb5785d ago

but its not really a fair comparison, the graphics in borderlands are limited by consoles and ue3.

skip2mylou5785d ago

@conloles stfu and gtfo your annoying ps3 can mod games except developers dont put in the right stuff to let ps3 players mod the games. EXAMPLE UNREAL TOURNAMENT 3

kevnb5785d ago

its basically just cooked pc mods... This is a big reason I hate consoles, they are closed up so much so that you cant change anything and you could never have a game like Counter Strike Source, Diablo 2 or Starcraft that last for 5-10 years.

chak_5785d ago

wrong.

PS3 can't mod, only unreal accepted mod, big difference there.

Oh, and nobody's playing it anyway

Stunnin ! 3 years later crysis is still the best looking game out there ^^

Chris_TC5786d ago

I played it again last week. It's still as gorgeous as ever. And I love the replayability.

Wizziokid5785d ago (Edited 5785d ago )

I agree Crysis still looks and play better than alot of titles recently

I mean look at this video, it's not HD but you can see how stunning it would look if it was.

Wizziokid5786d ago

This is the best part of PC gaming, all the mods :)

that looks really nice, borderlands? :D

Spenok5785d ago

Thats what i was thinking. Borderlands on steroids! xD

CaptainMarvelQ85785d ago

im watching it on 1080p and it looks damn fine

lzim5785d ago

without photo realistic textures and moving, animated vegetation (it is very hard to see or appreciate in this video), it isn't as immersive as it could be. pity because the cel shading mod is otherwise pretty impressive. seems like it dumbs down the crysis experience.

RyuDrinksTheDew5785d ago

that is awesome!!! this game me another reason to play Crysis again.

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

DivineHand125473d 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.

PrinceOfAnger478d 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!

RaidenBlack478d ago

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

PrinceOfAnger477d ago (Edited 477d ago )

Looks really nice with VR mod too

FinalFantasyFanatic477d ago

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

Profchaos476d ago

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

isarai478d ago

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

RedDeadLB477d ago

That CPU performance thing is preventing it.

isarai477d 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

DivineHand125477d 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.

HyperMoused477d ago

Never played it, worth a try you think?

Profchaos476d ago (Edited 476d 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."

RaidenBlack490d ago

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

vTuro24489d ago

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

RaidenBlack490d ago

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

DefenderOfDoom2490d ago

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

JunonZanon490d ago (Edited 490d ago )

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

LikAChicken489d 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.

DivineHand125489d 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.
