First Crysis Review: 9.2/10

Crysis review from German magazine called 'PC Action':

graphics: 95%
sound: 93%
controls: 93%
multiplayer: 85%

single player: 92 %

MK_Red6796d ago

Another post says that they gave 9.2 to BioShock and 9.1 to Stranglehold! Only 0.1 difference between a GOTY worthy title and a fun arcadish shooter?

mighty_douche6796d ago

i was doubting the review and your comment just cemented the fact. cheers.

ShiftyLookingCow6795d ago

according to Rooted_Dust, PC Gamer gave Crysis 98/100. For reference they gave BioShock 94. Talking about art for Crysis isnt entirely valid unless you take into account making a game that looks as real as Crysis requires quite some clever detail and programming.

predator6796d ago

could someone please point me in the direction of specs needed to run this at max, me and a mate are building a pc soon and just want to no what specs are needed as ill be picking up this game. Thanks

MK_Red6796d ago

I don't think a system that can handle Crysis graphics at max is invented yet. (Unless you want to build a supercomputer ;) )

Shankle6796d ago

Just get hold of 8 PS3s and a techie!

Lightning Mr Bubbles6796d ago

anything less than 10/10 in graphics.

u got owned6796d ago

Wasn't this suppose to be the best looking game out there?

Lightning Mr Bubbles6796d ago

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

DivineHand125499d 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.

PrinceOfAnger504d 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!

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

PrinceOfAnger503d ago (Edited 503d ago )

Looks really nice with VR mod too

FinalFantasyFanatic503d ago

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

Profchaos502d ago

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.

RedDeadLB503d ago

That CPU performance thing is preventing it.

isarai502d 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

DivineHand125503d 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.

HyperMoused503d ago

Never played it, worth a try you think?

Profchaos502d ago (Edited 502d 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."

RaidenBlack516d ago

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

vTuro24515d ago

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

RaidenBlack516d ago

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

DefenderOfDoom2516d ago

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

JunonZanon516d ago (Edited 516d ago )

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

LikAChicken515d 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.

DivineHand125515d 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.
