Crysis (Console) Review | The Controller Online

Pete at The Controller Online writes: "Back in 2007 when Crysis was originally released on PC, many gamers ran into the same problem as myself, our PC’s just weren’t good enough to run it. It was a beast graphically and you needed a monster of a PC to run it. Luckily for us, Crysis has now come to consoles, and they have no problem running it."

Having a good time with this game. Great purchase... I didnt have the time or money to invest in Crysis back in 07 so thankfully it finally came to home consoles. PS seems to run it just fine...

PC Snobs/Elitists can't withdraw from clicking the disagree button, how typical. Sigh.

jack_burt0n5335d ago

Its actually tempting to buy it for trophies and the bonus of not finding myself tweaking the god damn ini files to get "maximum performance" from my aging old rig.

LOLconsoles5336d ago

Why isn't the ps3 version getting any reviews? I mean I know the console versions look rather fugly but the ps3 version must be really shitty to not get any reviews. I have yet to actually see a single ps3 review for crysis.

Yodagamer5335d ago

thats because they are equal, if they weren't there would be million troll articles on here about say the Ps3 can't run crysis and crap like that (not hating on ps3, but this is n4g afterall and we know that those articles get approved)

execution175335d ago

bought it, finished it, loved it, and the ending made me ??? lol now they just need to bring over Warhead so i know what happened >.<

caboose325335d ago

Warhead doesnt explain what happens in the end. It's just Psycho's pont of view on the other side of the island with a whole different story.

execution175335d ago

ah, well I want to see what happened on the other side of the island. I would borrow my brothers copy for the PC but it went MIA >.>

caboose325335d ago

Check every once in a while on steam because during a good sale it will probably be around $5, and it's worth it because I found it to be a better game then Crysis.

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

DivineHand125481d 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.

PrinceOfAnger486d 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!

RaidenBlack486d ago

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

PrinceOfAnger485d ago (Edited 485d ago )

Looks really nice with VR mod too

FinalFantasyFanatic485d ago

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

Profchaos485d 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.

RedDeadLB485d ago

That CPU performance thing is preventing it.

isarai485d 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

DivineHand125485d 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.

HyperMoused485d ago

Never played it, worth a try you think?

Profchaos485d ago (Edited 485d 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."

RaidenBlack498d ago

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

vTuro24498d ago

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

RaidenBlack498d ago

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

DefenderOfDoom2498d ago

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

JunonZanon498d ago (Edited 498d ago )

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

LikAChicken498d 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.

DivineHand125498d 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.
