Crysis Multiplayer Beta Impressions

With Crytek nearing its release of what is arguably the most graphically intensive video game yet developed, hardware manufacturers (as well as Windows owner Microsoft) are hoping Crysis will fuel interest in PC gaming and high-end gaming hardware. Over the last couple of years, the game's visually groundbreaking single-player mode has been showcased extensively, making the game one of the most exciting upcoming PC exclusives. Less publicized, however, has been Crysis' multiplayer mode--and, as recently found during the multiplayer beta currently being operated, there's a lot more to it than one might have guessed...

By "like you guys" do you mean PC gamers?

If so, since when are PC gamers on "the defensive?" Last time I checked the PC has far greater games than the Xbox 360 and PS3 combined.

Halo 3 day 1 sales > crysis life time sales.

That being said different strokes for different folks. For being such a bad game you guys sure are obsessed with talking about halo. I don’t waste much time talking about games I don’t think are good but then again I am not on the defensive like you guys are either.

Wow that really WASNT funny. Report as spam.

synetic6810d ago

VirusE you know that game CARS that sold +6m in several systems together .. well the game sucked so bad but it still sold a lot :).. yup at least crysis is not farcry 1.5 like halo 2.5 i mean halo 3

ps -> for the record i even more addict to halo 3 than you (if you ever played halo lol )but since i have brains i admit what i see and halo3 is just a remake of halo 2 ... yeahh first 2 days i miss school and played 17 hours/day can you make better ;)

Bolts6810d ago

Crysis own everything on the console. The PS3's Warhawk is really fun online but the graphics just doesn't measure up. Halo 3? LOL, 640p graphics and run of the mill gameplay can't even touch Crysis.

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!

RaidenBlack490d 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.

Profchaos489d ago

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

isarai490d 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.

isarai489d 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?

Profchaos489d ago (Edited 489d 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.

vTuro24502d 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.
