Crytek's Crysis PR Manager, Zyad Tikanouine, told Gaming Target via e-mail that the long awaited first patch for Crysis will be released today, or at least news about the impending patch.
Hi Patrick,
a full update will be released on our community board today. Check it out.
Cheers,
Zyad Tikanouine
Product PR Manager
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
"The shader work that came out of this was mind-blowing at times."
Amazing, often misunderstood
The dumb AI was deliberate, so that the players can explore and experiment with the world and all the features.
It really is. Most people only remember it for its graphics but the gameplay was equally amazing.
Well worth the extra work ! I enjoyed all 3 Crisis games and would also love a new one .
Still wish game development was overall this passionate and minutious about their projects. Obviously, there are still some great studios as exceptions.
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.
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.
Now I just need the uber PC to run the game. While the game looks good it's not OMG I'm that much better then the UE3 engine good that it kills every piece of PC hardware out there. I have a feeling the code still needs a lot of work because from what I read this game doesn't even use multiple cores properly.
It is the most impressive looking fps ive ever played.
I hope the patch is able to optimize...SOMETHING so gamers can gain at least a few fps (as the NVIDIA drivers did)
People who haven't played it/don't play PC games shouldn't really speak on it, it annoys me that false information is passed around about PC requirements for new games.
"Hey dude, did you hear you need to upgrade your video card once a month to keep up with PC games?!"
"Sh!t dude, I heard it also costs $5000 to afford a PC capable of running crysis"
Incorrect, I run crysis at 1440x900, 2xAA all other settings on high, less important ones on medium and get a framerate of 40-60ish with some slowdown (rare) even all on low it still looks better than an xbox 360 game.
GamingTarget misunderstood the PR manager. Zyad meant that a full status update on the patch was coming today, not the patch itself. The full status update, viewable on InCrysis.com ( http://www.incrysis.com/ind... ), states that the patch is estimated to be released the first week on January.
