Evidently, Crysis is coming back [2020]

Probably because the game is worse graphically than it was when it released?

While the gameplay is likely close enough to be roughly the same, the graphics are significantly worse.

And for a game that was unsurpassed in the graphics department for many many many years, that's not something that people find acceptable.

But does it look worse than PS360 Crysis? Isn't that all we console gamers know?

I think it's clear that it's no modern overhaul though. It's more like Bioshock Remastered. They tweaked some things and maybe "remastered" some stuffs but it's basically just another re-release.

 

I watched the trailer and didn't really think much about it at first, felt what you could expect from a Remaster. Seeing comparisons though, I can see where people are coming from, there's definitely a different theme to the graphics, mainly boiling down to a much darker and muted look in the original Crysis, whereas the Remaster looks brighter and colours on the whole seem more pronounced.

But I was begging for a CE3 port of Crysis 1 so it finally could be played at 60+ FPS already back when it was released for the 360. Crysis 1 symbolized the worst part of PC gaming for me at the time, where you had that super demanding game that was being marketed as being made for future hardware, yet scaled like shit because multicore support was still at its infancy. And many of the DX10 only settings were artificially locked out from DX9 but could easily be changed manually.

Next generation graphics, it's likely a screenshot from a cgi render.

 

Terrible colors in that screenshot. Completely conflicting the coloring in the original PC Crysis.

 

Not sure why that is "next gen", certainly not a cgi render.

 

Let the bullshot flow through you.

 

Yes what i thought, looking like that it smashes everything next gen consoles have shown. It's a bullshot.

 

Finally a short trailer:

The best looking Crysis version was the one from 2006:





I prefer the shading and coloring in this one over the original.

 

Never played Crysis. Is it time to jump in with the One X? Or wait for the Series X?

If you've waited 13 years, another couple months shouldn't be too bad. There's no word on next-gen enchantment, though I guess it would just run boosted BC at least?

 

I got the switch version. And so far I am having a blast(sic)

 

If you're talking about the first Crysis, then play the original PC version and with mouse and keyboard. The only true way.

 

Not a PC gamer anymore. Quit those in 2000.

curious to see how their SW RT works on PS4

 

My condolences.

I just don't know what I think about it. It looks like putting your TV on vivid mode.

I think the only way I would get pumped about this is if it was a "re-imagining" instead of this remaster nonsense. Then it would actually offer something new beyond the looks.
