TitanReviews: When it comes to the original Crysis’s graphics, does it really match up? Should a team of modders be able to outdo Crysis 2’s visuals? I don’t think so.
Crytek : In episode two of Our Story, the team discusses the evolution of Crysis into Crysis 2 and 3 (and the pressures that came with it), how a local connection landed an incredible collaboration with legendary composer Hans Zimmer, and the New York trip that inspired much of Crysis 2. For the gladiators among you, you’ll also get an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the development of Ryse: Son of Rome and the attention to detail that went into it.
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
That mod looks insanely lifelike (the environment)
Pretty cool, however I think people just enjoy the game for what it is. Even if it better than the first visially. There can always be a Crysis 3.
Or maybe a new IP.
I'm not sure that I would want something that realistic though. Looking at that mod, it seems to me something that's nicer to look at than it is to play, personally I'd rather play Crysis 2, but with slightly better graphics.
I agree with Rezzah, the graphics are still good even if they're not what they could be, and the game is good, it should be enjoyed for what it is.
For starters, Crysis 2 looks very good...and pretty much the same...on all 3 platforms. Crysis 1 didn't even look that good on all PCs, (a "single" platform) depending on your OS, GPU, RAM, etc.
CryEngine 3 is simply a multiplatform solution...it's not an evolution or generational jump in technology. To compare it to a mod...which, by the way, ALSO won't run on all PCs (it won't run WELL on MOST PCs, in fact)...is beyond retarded.
It seems Crytek simply can't please PC fan(boy)s. They get slammed for Crysis 1, for making a game that looks better than any game ever created...but only if you have the right hardware to run it. Then they retool the engine, so it can run what is still EASILY one of the best looking games ever made on THREE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PLATFORMS...and they still get slammed.
You obviously don't understand PC gaming.
