Crytek dev admits; Crysis was an unoptimized mess, Crysis 2 didn't implement tessellation properly

DSOGaming writes: "If there is one Crysis modder that we highly respect, this is definitely Xzero. You may have heard him as he is the one behind the amazing POM + AF mod, a mod that is essential to pretty much everyone that wants to replay Crytek's game and enables parallax occlusion mapping with Anisotropic Filtering. And although Xzero got a job to Crytek - by creating all his amazing graphical mods, his attitude hasn't changed."

Crysis 2 was a huge dissapointment.

pipipi5366d ago

nooooooo seriously???!!!!! i think you are trollin

LOL

Ju5366d ago

Isn't Crysis 1 coming to consoles? Isn't that running CE3? What else would it run? So, why does he say it won't come to the PC as a remake? Not understanding this? Well, don't really care. Wouldn't buy it, have it already. Not sure if I'd get the PS3 version. Would be interesting, but not spending $60 again...

This could have been avoided entirely if they just built Crysis 2 under the DX11 api i.e developed first for PC and NOT PORTED FROM CONSOLES.

Ju5361d ago

huh? This is relevant how?

Gran Touring5361d ago

replied to wrong comment. my mistake

Tyre5366d ago

Crysis 1 for consoles is 'the bargain of the year' only $19,99

iamgoatman5366d ago

Damn straight.

It's too late for the original Crysis, but another patch to improve the tessellation performance in Crysis 2 is needed, especially for ATI users like myself.

Been playing the original Crysis lately and the sudden slow downs can be really annoying, one minute I'm cruising along at 80FPS then next I'm in my low 40's, not great. Warhead was better in that respect, but still suffered from performance problems, mainly the pretty major memory bug that requires deleting your config/save folder in my docs after applying the patch otherwise it will continue to use more and more RAM until you run out or it crashes.

He might lose his job for saying that lol. He got hired for his brilliance with MODs. Sure he may be right but now that he's a Crytek employee, Should he be making those statements?

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.

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

DivineHand125484d 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.

PrinceOfAnger489d 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!

RaidenBlack489d ago

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

PrinceOfAnger488d ago (Edited 488d 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.

Profchaos488d 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.

RedDeadLB489d ago

That CPU performance thing is preventing it.

isarai488d 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.

HyperMoused488d ago

Never played it, worth a try you think?

Profchaos488d ago (Edited 488d 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
