Technically the ps2 original came out in 04, the PC port was 05. The original far cry and HL2 were also 04 though, and weren't limited by being developed for inferior hardware. So it's still a pretty amazing jump in visual quality. I first played crysis in 09, I still had to settle for high settings, ultra was just too much for my OC GTX275 (which was leaps and bounds better than the 8800gtx, which was top of the line when crysis was released). Even so, the graphics were pretty mind blowing
@@HKT100 True, although a lot of that was (imo) down to developers starting to better utilise the potential power of the newer consoles. Crysis pushed way beyond that, the next game after crysis that truly punished my system was metro 2033 maxed out, but even then I think that game was easier to max out on hardware available at the time than crysis was back in 07
Kim Jong Un: General, about the supercomputer we smuggled last week, has it been set? General: Yes. KJU: Can it run Crysis? General: Sadly no. KJU: Damn! All right, at least we can use it to run some nuclear test. General: Affirmative.
yea, and if it does then im CRYIN if it dosent have manual save system, instead uses some lame autosave only and one saveslot, effin consoles! i can afford to install great drives on my pc and yet game developers only seem to see it from console point? no no consoles dont have great drives yet... why dafuk not? they could easily put in 3tb ones -multiple even! still they are stuck with 0.5 tb? And that is why we have lazy autosaves n checkpoint systems!
And the reason is the gamers are not in unity and don't think deep. Everyone supports companies that are all about money like Valve forgetting what they tried to pull (charge for someone else's mods)...
Neo Deltå I haven’t bought an EA shooter since the last Battlefront. I was suckered into it by nostalgia. Before that was BF4. I honestly don’t care much for the genre anymore due to how homogenized it’s become but the last recent regret free purchase I made was Doom. I am just saddened by the fact that fps games generally don’t have single player campaigns as often I would like. When they do they tend to be far to skimmed down for my taste.
Chris Gibson thats true and if a.i. develops all the time then there should be the most exiting storymode of all . Thats the main reason to buy a game but its all for the money and loot boxes etc. Bummer
@kumbandit Hell, half of the new Unity projects are scam-ware anyways, anyone and everyone can make a game now and most are producing the same hackneyed tripe. Everyone's guilty. We want to be entertained so we blindly purchase whatever intrigues us even slightly -it's why the Early Access has been so successful.
Crysis 2 was the best in my opinion, Crysis was new and innovative in a way, but at the same time it offered nothing too impressive what farcry didn't do already.
NecroSpaci Don't fall for what people say. The flak that crysis gets in is story and gameplay aspects generally comes from console gamers, trying to justify the fact that their platforms couldnt run the game at the time. So yes, the story is slightly bellow average but the gameplay is great. Every "level" is set in a really big map, allowing you to approach objectives the way you want. You can act like a predator using the stealth function in the nano suit or just go guns blazing. These are the basic ways people play, but you can do more, like picking enemies from a distance or skip some of them. I'd recommend that you wait for the first crysis and warhead to be on sale on GOG so you wont regret much even if you don't like them. Forgot to mention, Lazy game reviews did a recent video on it, it might help you decide if you want it or not.
I have never seen anything as cool and amazing as the alien environment in Crysis, since then. That was such a spectacular moment, I hated that it had to end at some point. And that is where the sequels just bombed, for me. Gone were the cool aliens. Replaced with ... different aliens, for no reason. Gone was the alien-ness of these aliens. Now they looked generic, boring.
You are comparing apples with pears. Fallout may have not the graphic crysis 3 does. but it got much more gameplay. Crysis 3 . how long about 30 hours. In Fallout 30h is nothing.Ok Fallout 76 is diffrent. but still a Fallout Game. and if u give it a go . you may like it in the end,. It´s fun.
@@ichdu1459 nah mate FO has high replayability normally, but saying FO-76 is fun is like shooting yourself on both hands and saying farming in an MMORPG is fun it got stale in around 7-8 hours and it has no FOV setting so HAHA no, have no idea if it got updated but by the looks of it it hasn't
And 2018 has been the biggest middlefinger from consoles to PC in the history of games. The Game Awards nominees and winner say it all. Spider-Man, RDR2, GOW (winner)..... This was NOT a fun year for PC gamers.
Comrade Nuka emulation is great for Nintendo games but barely works with PS games because it requires a lot of power. Notice how a game like Zelda runs on a mobile SOC on the Switch and barely runs on a GTX 1050 in CEMU. Not to mention that the PS3 has a different architecture than PC and PS4, so that makes it a whole lot harder to emulate. Same reason why the PlayStation 4 doesn't support PS3 games.
It's the bugatti veyron, It's the concorde, It's the moon landing. It's a giant leap that propells the rest of the mankind to enjoy the tech revolution it creates.
Aditya Sharma and remember at that time i burned it after 40 min of gameplay....-_- i still remember my old specs tho, core 2 duo, gtx 460, 4 gb ram and it was destroy right there.
lol.... I'm sure the exploding pc part is a joke.... but on my graphics card it had a weird metal tube thing and that exploded after playing Crysis and it completely broke... it was a loud and I mean LOUD pop and burn smell...... I only had that graphics card for 3 days after it was shipped from Japan.... my guess it was either cheaply made... or Crysis did it... I blame crysis though... xD
Brave? Ha try telling that to EA Activison Ubisoft etc now. All they're trying to push the limits of now is how much they can corrupt their games to fit as much microtransactions as they can.
I generally agree, but Ubisoft has actually been making some good steps in games like for honor and siege with cosmetic only micro transactions, which is impressive for a triple a studio of their caliber
The recent AC games were not really much hype but AC origin is really good and feels fresh. I'm happy Ubisoft while beeing a big corp still care a bit about their customer
T.J. Jackson maybe with for honor at least they should've spent more time getting servers when the game launched so people could actually play the game.
Crysis is an advertisement for the CryEngine. Pretty much like Half Life used to be advertisement for Valve and other engine-makers had their own Ad-Games, that were supposed to show what the new engine can do. But yeah.. It would be great if there were more corporations focusing on releasing awesome engines, that allow for awesome games and not rip gamers off with lack of content and ingame-purchases, like it is so trendy now.
When developers are able to, and decide to implement their creative ideas, unharnessed and without holding back, it can turn the finished product into a fine work of art.
"Its that spending the kind of time on development that crytek did with this game, creating new ideas and technologie's doesn't make the kind of money that microtransactions make." This one sentence describes the problem with 90% of all games perfectly.
How for the sake of logic can microtransactions micro-fucking-transactions the most hated feature in the gaming community can be more profitable than new ? ideas, technologies, creativity and originality
This is why we have stagnancy even in great franchises like GTA. Companies simply have no reason to try harder when they can make money so easily with buying in-game currency.
This is why Pub-G is popular. No mirco-Transactions, no grind for gear, no grind for better characters. Every one start equal, first jump or 1,000th jump. Pity that the developers didn't use the Cry2 Engine (I still love the look of Crysis-1, and vs. engines of today it's actually very efficient) because their implementation of Unreal is horrible :(
Yeah, my point is that you're not forced into the micro-transaction world to be competitive (AKA: Battlefield, COD.) The game stands alone and that's what people like. Obviously RPG's and MMO's have a progressions system, but hat's a core mechanic, not something to be cheated. Having to play a game for hours to unlock gear to make yourself competitive or pay to have it unlocked for you is wrong. Like Pub-G you get the whole game straight away, not paid for DLC to 'get the full experience.' Crysis's multi player was a non progression experience, but was not really 'game changing'
I don't know about that but games today are grindy and frustrating and they look like shit not all of them . The ones that are good have microtransactions and paywalls.
@@Legion849 Sekiro, this year was a perfect game, and it does not have microtransactions. I think you were only playing shitty games. Don't blame others for your lack of taste!!!
I remember staring at a guy who played crysis on a huge screen with all graphics maxed out. Played alot of games but havent had that wow efect that i had with crysis
I play the story over and over again like no other single player game and even in 2019 its still a good game I love the open world no tight Flores with a lot of enemy's its a game in which they puts a lot of love in it!!!
Haha, same for me. But it was still a lot of fun. I liked Crysis for beeing linear and open at the same time. You always had one specific objective that leads to exactly one next objective. But the way you reached them was up to you. I liked using the physics engine to kill guards with rolling trees. XD I liked to be sneaky, but when I as detected I could also act as a Rambo. And the story was building up slowly. Every 15 Minutes you got some new Item. And when a new item was introduced, there were enough of them to test them out. First a new assault rifle, then the sniper and C4, resulting in driving a tank at its best point!
I feel like developers and publishers today focus more on trying to exploit you and suck your money than to compete with other companies to try to create an amazing and fun game. 😔
BRICIE Its more like companies know that people will buy their games anyways so they just want to capitalize on that base instead of concentrating on competition.
"It's that spending that kind of time on development that Crytek did with this game, creating new ideas and technologies, doesn't make the kind of money that microtransactions make." Thanks a lot EA
Newbie i see, crysis is not a heavy game, mod made it the way it is., if you uograded your pc to play the vanilla game you might be playing on an old rig or just blatantly lying
Maybe they'll finally start focusing on CPU development rather than GPU development. So we can actually have gameplay, and not just have walking simulators with pretty scenery.
But I don't think that's bad. Graphics are good, but gameplay is what is important. If the industry focuses more on making fun games over pretty games, then I have zero complaints.
Compare 70s gaming to 90s. Things need to be done slow. The bit wars may have brought us good graphics, but that can lead to burnout, especially with dev abuse.
what's sad is all the people below crapping on game companies like little kids. yes we get it, they're greedy for money, but fucking deal with it. stop, literally. it's their marketing decisions, you don't have to buy their games. or acknowledge their existence at all, but fucking hell stop crying about it. It's like complaining that a store brand is opening another store in a city or country
I think the way Crysis fit into my life was as an acheivment over the years. I could never play it on my pentium no graphics from '06. However, over the years I got slightly better computers (never with more than Integrated graphics. But they slowly were able to get me to play it at 15 fps on low everything. That day I was so excited I just yelled out for about a minute or two. Which brings me to now, about a month ago I bought a gaming computer with and actual, dedicated, graphics card. I bought Crysis and played at max everything. It made the child in me happier than ever. Crysis was and still is an amazing game, but in terms of accessibility, for me at least, well it took over a decade. But now, I can run Crysis. :)
Phenomenal game even 10 years later. Played it just recently in glorious 4K (mostly 40-60 fps; engine was sadly not optimized and understandably so). Still looks and sounds incredible! The gameplay is also fun with many ways of finishing objectives.
Mster Config and other Mods make Crysis even better. And i would never ever play Crysis again, without the Suit Shortcuts or the Advanced A.I Mod. Still the best SP Shooter of all time.
Exactly. I was running it with a 9600gt at the time and got like 30-35 fps on medium with a couple of setting on high. The game was playable just fine but it's a better experience with at least stable 60fps dx11 everything max. Which is more than doable with a 250$ or so gpu nowadays.
baigagee You needed to have a GPU card for this game, 8800 GTX was the gamers card back then, 9800 ATi. Pentium 4 or Athlon was fine, better Core 2, on Xp x64. Most gamers did 30FPS in those days, playable on that old P4 too, specially the HT 5Ghz versions.
Crysis was _why_ I built my first PC, and quite honestly, that was probably one of the big reasons I ended up in a computing field. I saved up for months in order to do so, because you needed a completely bad ass PC to play it properly. I miss when things were made "because we can", not "because ROI".
Well after all the gaming industry (and the entertainment industry in general) is just another industry and the games are produced by companies. And if a game is funded on Investors money who will then publish it for you (like EA did) they need to make the investment worth it so the ROI is the most important thing here. Trying to make crazy graphics and stuff your USP just didn‘t work out, so, as in every industry, game companies are going where the money goes. Which are basically annual games, microtransactions, etc. It‘s simple economics - if there is no demand, there won‘t be any supply, and, sadly, the demand for microtransactions is just way higher than the demand for a game like the first crysis. So if the consumers would buy games like crysis more and less microtransactions, every consumer can make a change.
Crysis franchise is one of the best experiences i've ever had in my life. And its true it was way ahead of its time. Its sad there won't be any game like that in future.
@@hashiramasayan162 I know it's probably a joke but to be honest GTA looks as good as the Original Crysis when it comes to graphics but physics? Nooooo
Don't let this distract from that fact that a man spent 80 dollars on battlefront 2 only to find he cant play as Darth Vader. Then EA got the most down voted comment on that thread on Reddit
Maestam there's one born EVERY minute. For instance, compare cable tv to streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu. Cable started out as a great...wait for it... service... which was once sold in two or three channel packages, read: subscriptions ...then greed took over and packages became more and more niche until sports junkies were conditioned into paying for on demand pay per view events
Crysis (and og Far Cry to an extent, too) was a transformational games IMO ... in the same way Super Mario 64 changed 3D analog movement or FF VII changed cutscenes or CS and SC changed MP. As technically impressive as it was, what made Crysis amazing was not that it looked pretty -- but the level of interactiveness you had with how pretty it was. It was a combination of the lighting with the physics, the shadows with the destructible environment. Crysis was a generational leap in sandbox gameplay freedom. A beautiful but static game like Horizon is a big leap in looking real ... but Crysis was a big leap in FEELING real. A decade later and the raw, unscripted sandbox of shooting or destroying shit in Crysis is STILL more technical and creatively/experimentally fun than most modern open world games and their static environments.
yeah definitely, +Xavier Capela ... I think Crysis in a lot of ways was most natural evolution of HL2 actually. the want they captivated ppl with creative gameplay and seeing how you interact with the environment was surprisingly similar. +Robert Hazard ... R6 Siege, bless its heart, is a good symbol that if you make great core gameplay environments, and stick to your guns and do your thing _well_, then gamers are gonna embrace it.
Saw some comments accusing Gameranx of copying LGR. Reminder that it's the 10 year anniversary of Crisis (November 13, 2007) so a bunch of people have been making videos/articles on it.
Install Crysis, put in the Mster Config and the Advanced A.I Mod, activate the Suit Shortcuts in the Option Menu, start a new Game on Delta. Enjoy a FPS with great Graphisc, great Leveldesign, the best Outdoor A.I and intense Gunplay, while playing the Game as you want, Sneaky or Rambo Style. Crysis ist just the fucking Colossus of FPS Games, even 10 Years after the Release.
@@deshaunfortune912 console= more expensive games + paying for online + being limited to a controller. on the long run, you end up paying more for less quality than the pc. ppl just dont know that lol
The only game that will make your system (oh, and... your wallet) CRY at the time. 6:45 I'm not gonna blame console games, moreover when it comes to micro transaction, it's the mobile games.
I blame Micro-Transactions. I really do. When people shell out large amounts of cash for low quality, small content oriented purchases companies think pay day. Seriously they are killing it off micro-transactions. It is why your games come out incomplete, half baked, and drowned out in stupid useless content available by purchasing that Micro-Transaction.
after 10 years, I'm still missing the Crysis sequel that we never got... the one that would have continued the cliffhanger of the first game how they must have initially planned it, with the same tech, the same feel of the first one (big open playgrounds).. I have a special place in my heart for crysis
i had a gt 220 on my family's windows computer with xp on it. it ran, not at max but it ran :P once that pc was retired in my family i opened it up to see how it looked and man the card was like 1/6 the size of the gtx 750ti i was using at the time.
Damn I remember building a 10,000 dollar gaming pc back in 2008 just so i could run crysis at full detail...with the graphics and physics of crysis.. There is still nothing today that compares to that level of detail or the feeling i got from it..
Played the demo with a 6600gt, bought the game day one with a 8800gt, wanted more fps so i bought another 8800gt for sli... Then with visual mods and a obsession with fps i finished the game with a 3way sli GTX 280 setup.. and that's my story with this game and how it evolved my PC while emptying my wallet.
I started with an oem Radeon card I trimmed pcie pins off of to fit in an old Dell I inherited, now I've got Threadripper and a 1080ti. PC gaming owes so much to this game.
@murnavid It's not some integrated graphics couldn't play it. I don't think any integrated graphics could play it at more than 15FPS at 1024x768 resolution.
I got Crysis right after launch and played it on my 9600XT with a Pentium 4 at the time. Had to play on all low settings at like 800x600 haha but it was still so epic to me. In 08 I decided to build my first really capable machine which had an XFX 9600GT and an E7200 Core 2 Duo. I was able to play Crysis on all High settings at 1280x1024 and let me tell you.. I still till this day haven't experienced anything that epic graphically. I really miss those days.... Where big SLI rigs were the king and channels like Maxishine's were banging....
You mean something like 9800GX2 Quad-SLIs oder some 8800 Ultras? I was like 11 or 12 back in the time, but still memorize the videos from Maxishine. Back in the time his 2560x1440 Dell Monitors, his 12 Core/24 Threads X58 build and so on. Holy shit, hehe. This game literally fucked with everything for years :P
I upgraded to play crysis back in 2007 when I was just 14. Had to save money from my lowly paper round to get an athlon X2 4200 2.2ghz, 2gb ram and X1950 pro. That could only play the game at low/medium on my also new 22" 1650 X 1080 monitor. The next year I got an 8800GT and that took it to the next level! Probs my favourite card of all time. Hail crysis! :P
Sad at the fact that you didn't even mention AI. They invested well in that front too, and while Crysis was no F.E.A.R. it still mingled open world and risk in a way that planning approaches was really fun. You'd die and understand why from a tactic point of view and you'd mix moments of guns blazing with stealth because enemies would see you and chase you and call reinforcements and the damn choppers and tanks. On hard I would very often run out of bullets and feel like a real commando. We're never getting a gem like that again.
Because it's not?The only good thing about this game is the graphics.Not much else to look at.Terrible AI(fucking korean bastards spot your from a boat in the sea even if you're hiding in a bush),lackluster story with the same "oh look it's actually aliens" crap in the second half of the game that Far Cry also pulled off but there it was mutants instead of aliens.Not surprised there considering the fact it's from the guys who made Far Cry.
Jordan Hristov People like u dont deserve any game at all. I played this game when it came out and i can say it was the best game in its time. People who started playing games 10 years after, not knowing how hard it was to create one fcking game in those times, and 3rd person at that. Acting smart like u know shit. If u are that smart lets see u make AI move, yet alone create a game. How much time ppl spend to create one game, we are the only ones that know how hard that is, and this is thank you. I wish everyone stops creating games, becouse ppl act like spoiled kids. Anyyone who thinks that can create better game, go make it, learn how to do it, and stop acting all mighty. Everyone has its own taste for games... If u dont like it leave, done.
+Miroslav Miki are you a dev? I am always interested in the development side of things as having programmed a little in college I know it can be infuriating. +Jordan Hristov I don't know man, to each his own. Honestly, having played the games of that time, the Medal of Honor franchise, COD 2 through 4, I always thought Crysis AI superior to those. If a soldier spots you moving from a boat in the sea because you showed your face that's smart AI. The AI in Crysis coupled with the open world helped create gameplay narratives unique to your style without the in-your-face scripting we see in recent campaigns of COD, Battlefield and Destiny where enemies often just run into your FOV and line up for you to shoot them.
To fix this issue and get another game like Crysis is to buy the games you like and you think it deserve the money and stop spending your money on micro transaction. the world is in our hand and every change is based on our decision not EA or UBI We are ruining the game industry not EA or UBI or any other micro transaction company, they deliver what we want and if we don't buy game based on micro transaction then they will not make one and if we do then they make one its as simple as that, so if we don't support micro transaction then they will not make a micro transaction game, if we don't pirate Single player games without buying it if its good then we don't get any new single player game as simple as that. these company are just bunch of 1000 people and they need to get money from their work and if their work can't make money when their game get pirate at the first hour of the launch then they will make another way to get money for living and thats the shitty MP games with micro transaction.
N nOni yea but it's the minority that are screwing us out of quality. I know someone whose probably spent a thousand dollars on micro transactions. All they need is a few people who don't care about money
When Crysis came out, my computer was pretty old (bought in 2005), and already couldn't run many new games on high settings. Still, I could run Crysis on minimals and played through the whole game. I loved it.
Crysis was the closest thing gamers could get to a interactive CGI trailer back in the day. It lagged quite a bit on my PC but it was beautifull to look at. Had to choose between the game and Dragon Age 2 back in 2012 (5 years later), got crysis, never regret it. "Maximum Game"
I remember this game. I built an almost $6k pc back in the day. 8 core processor, 32gb memory, 4 graphics cards linked together and liquid cooling. I could run this game at ultimate and it was absolutely beautiful. Better than any game today. I miss this type of gaming. Thanks for making this video. Brought back a lot of nostalgia for me and made my day.
Mmmm. The first 8-core desktop cpu was the Core i7-5960X released in 2014. The top of the line server processor in 2007 was the Xeon 5160, a 2 core CPU. You might have had a Core 2 Quad, which was a 4 core 8 thread multi-CPU chipset, essentially 2 core 2 duo’s stuck on one motherboard. If so, I’d own that. The core 2 Quad still is rare and was a massive flex.
We need to bring to bring back the 'But can it run Crysis?' meme. JAMES WATT: This steam engine can allow for a maximised energy output from little energy input. ME: But can it run Crysis? STEVE JOBS' GHOST: The iPhone X comes with 3D rendered emoji's with facial recognition software to... ME: But can it run Crysis? GHENGIS KHAN: The Mongol Empire is superior for its intricate trade network and religious tolerance. ME: But can it run Crysis? GAMERS: This PC can run Overwatch. ME: But can it run Crysis?
I don't remember Crysis being exceptional in terms of story or gameplay (they were good just not what I would term great), but I jumped on the graphics hype train. Damn were they pretty! I remember the joy of finally being able to run it at Very High settings... on 800x600 resolution!!! :D
Mostakim Habib The story was good (nothing outstanding, but it was innovative) but the gameplay was really great. The ways you could approach your targets were unlimited and even custimising your weapons to fit your style was fun. The abilities that come with the Nanotech suit were great and fit they story perfectly imo
Mostakim Habib This game was and still is superior not only with graphics, but also at physics and environmental destruction. This is why people refer to this game as a "sandbox" FPS ,a trully one of a kind game!
Crysis wasn't that bad when it comes to optimization. Everyone just wanted to run it on the highest settings (including me). Eventually I chose mid to high settings with an early core 2 duo processor (I think 1,8Ghz) and a Geforce 8800 GT. The reached framerate was somewhere around 30-40. And it still looked better than everything else on the market.
ThePandafriend Yeah that’s why I don’t get that people take running things fully maxed out as the benchmark all the time. The quality difference between ultra and high is truly negligible in most games, and a game that truly looks good doesn’t need maxed out graphics to look good.
I played it on a GeForce 6200 lol, on low settings obviously. Then built a new pc a year later with quad core and an overclocked GTX 260 and damn...blew my mind
Too bad Battlefront 2 EA is ruined, it's such a pretty game and in my opinion possibly the best looking game today, but... Those micro transactions... Those god damn micro transactions man...
Micro-transactions dont have any influence on how you experience the game dude. Like everyone was flaming Shadow of War and im sitting here playing it and not even feeling the need to use them. The argument that microtransactions ruin everything is in most cases already pretty stupid
Slappy well you're wrong actually, it never used to be an issue but now it is when the only way to progress in games is by lootboxes after rounds. Progress that can be sped up if someone pays for more loot boxes. Unfortunately some games do this now but thankfully not all with micro transactions do. I'm fine with micro transactions in games but when it can modify the progression that's where I draw the line... I didn't clarify what I meant in the previous reply
Yep. Fuck consoles. In the ass. With a stick. Without a lube. In 21st century, the fact of owning a PS or an Xbox is a proof of ignorance or stupidity. Or both at once.
I played crysis for the first time in 2008 and I was just speechless when I saw it's graphic. It was nothing but stunning as I couldn't believe in my eyes. It made me progress in game as slow as possible cuz I couldn't let myself pass by those landscapes lol However I stuck in a part of game and wasn't able to finish it. Later found out that it was a bug( that infamous bug after destroying tanks ) but couple of weeks ago I started to play the game once again ( of course with a new system and on highest setting ). Well it's graphic wasn't as impressive as it looked 10 years ago in comparison with modern games but it was still standard. I don't think u can say such a thing for any other game after a decade. But about it's physic... Bet u can't find more than a couple of games with such a physic in present. Just imagine u could break almost any plant with bullet or your fist. I just can say crytech is the most genius developer at least in technical aspects. Just check crysis 3 which was released in 2013. It's still one of the best looking games in the market. I think third party developers must use cryengine instead of unreal cuz it's much much better.
Crysis was made by people, who made the engine, and for a pretty much single purpose - show off. Games on Unreal Engine are built for the market. The video pretty much tells you that, btw. "I think third party developers must use cryengine instead of unreal cuz it's much much better." Unless you worked with both engines, you cannot really make a proper comparison. Games are not an indicator of engine abilities, it is an indicator of developer's abilities. If you gave Epic Games task to make the best game possible, they would not give a birth to Fortnite at all, you know.Did you even see the video? it explains full well why the hell Crysis is exceptional and makes cryengine look good. Crysis was not made for the market, UNLIKE ANY OTHER GAME EVER.
Easily the best single player shooter i have ever played. Can still remember how excited i was when it came out. Not a lot of games that can compare to that. And after more than 10 years later IT STILL LOOKS AMAZING!
Have you played Half-life 2? Crysis plays great and looks even better but I found the environment sterile and artificial whereas HL2s world felt more lived in and real.
All things considered, it was well optimized. And I loved the playability. in 2008 I was in army training for 11 moths and after it was over, I really wanted to re play Crysis because I felt like real guns were the most similar to what they felt like in crysis even though some crysis weapons were sci-fy. they just nailed the sounds and loudness and animations. guns felt heavy and had a knock back. Also the ammunition felt realistic. This started from far cry 1 and crysis was similar. In other games I didn't feel the distinction between having ammo in the magazin and having ammo in the chamber. It really encouraged you to leave at least one in the chamber when reloading, so you won't have to manually load 1 in the chamber making it slower and lowering the capacity by 1. In other games the reload animation was the same in either case. Also it was the first game where the 1 man VS army scenario seemed viable because you had the advantage of your suite. But at the highest difficulty the balance felt just right. There was another game around that time that was the most innovative game I have ever seen. and didn't care about being able to run on most machines. It was an RTS called Supreme Commander. It pretty much didn't run on any consumer PC when it was released. You had to wait a couple of years. The publisher pressured to rush it but devs refused to compromise their game. It's an awesome game but went under the radar and has no customer support but the community took over balancing it and made third party multiplayer servers and mods. It was really hard on processors. some maps were 80 Kilometers across and you could have 10 players in a match with an upper limit of 2000 units each. every shot was simulated and could be dodged. It had an unique resource system where you didn't need the resources up front to spent them. instead you spent them as you were generating them. A lot of things constantly drained energy. like building things or keeping your radars and sensors and ballistic energy shields up or converting energy directly into matter. you could pause some of these to dedicate your energy income to most important functions like rushing out an anti nuke when you scout enemy building nukes. it had a variety of land air and naval units, weapon systems and defense systems. different artillery, missile, torpedo, laser, anti air, and gun systems with counter measures. Some ships and bigger units had a bunch of systems that all worked independently. There were a lot of cool units from submersible aircraft carriers that held 500 plains to giant spider shaped robots with radar stealth, anti air, torpedoes a huge laser and an ability to walk on the seafloor. From flying saucers to mobile factories that have ballistic energy shields and 4 independent artillery units on them. Every game starts with 1 main guy that obliterates early game units but the goal is to assassinate the main guy and keep yours alive, but you also wanna fight with it until its low on health. You could micro your every unit but also had tools to automate some actions like patrol roots or ferrying units straight from factories to battle by dropships or making your factories build a set of different units on an endless loop. If you like RTS go buy it on steam including the expansion. Both have a single player campaign. But you might need to uninstall any software that controls your systems audio settings (like Realtek audio controller) to have the sound work properly in this game.
Supreme Commander and Supreme Commander Forged Alliance is the best RTS ever you have to master the economy and know what type of building that you need to build what do you have to tech up. Do you need to build your unit first or you you need to build defense first. I love this game same as Crysis you need a super and high end pc i can play it but i have to lower the graphic.
@Kadir Hizarci Not true. It scaled very well, based on settings. Even though there were not PCs around to run it maxed out, turning down the settings would make it playable on a mid end PC while still looking better than almost anything else. I was not necessarily a fan of it as a game, but I did and still do admire the technology behind it.
Total Annihilation (TA, 1997) was Supreme Commander's (2007) "spiritual predecessor". Of note, TA was released 6 months *before* StarCraft I (1998) came out. TA had tons of modding options, including changing the AI and adding hundreds of community-made units long before modding games was a legit thing. TA also has an upper limit of 5,000 units total. Most of the ideas found in SupCom can be found in TA. TA with the Core Contingency expansion is still an excellent skirmishing RTS if you can look past the dated 3D models rendered in *software*. In many ways, TA was way ahead of its time and still sets the minimum standard for what a RTS should be - a standard that even StarCraft II (2010-2015) never attained.
I never heard about Crysis until my best friend got hyped and bought the game right after it got released .Of course the game was running on full settings because he had a crazy PC , a really amazing game .I actually never played because he was so devoted I was just crushing at his place ,eating trash and watching him play,it was like a cinema I swear lmao
+Berwin Tan Believe it or not, back then, bunch of ppl was still rocking 1024x768 / 1280x1024 CRTs or really shitty early LCD's 60hz 1080p LCD's became normal at around 2009 i'd say.
dude omg same (well not 2 decades lol)i was 5 when i went to my first cyber coffee and played cs 1.3 in 2002, been playing cs ever since, Half-Life 1 is my favorite singleplayer game , i was 10 when my parents bought the pc for our house in christmass of 2007 , it was a shit pc even for back then (8400gs, 1gb ram, e2200) my monitor also was one of those shitty early LCDs LG W2042s 1680x1050, ran Crysis 1 in 800x600 all low...was actually somewhat playable. The one thing that i remember abour crysis the most was when i first booted the game up and used the cloack mode and as i was moving, my enemy kept looking where i was before i turned on the cloack...my mind was legitimately blown as a kid back then, never had that feel ever again with a game (i was very impressed by Watch_Dogs™ 2012 demo tho). Im probably gonna build a high end pc next year...waiting to see what about Volta
Personally I think Crysis was (and possibly still) the pinnacle of gaming. While the story wasn't the absolute best it was good enough to keep me interested and since then many stories have outdone it by far, but the technology, the gameplay, graphics, all of it, it feels like we've taken steps back from there. You look at what it was 10 years ago and compare it to the newest CoD or BF and it keeps up with them in terms of looks. Imagine if that was the industry standard back then where we would be today. It's like everyone else only just started getting to where Crysis was in the last couple of years.
That's because idiots buy crap like that without thinking, and they see they don't have to make that effort (and cost) to improve what they already have, it's good times for them, who cares about consumers?
I disagree. We have never made any steps backwards, only forwards. DICE made massive jumps with StarWars:Battlefront and Bf1 regarding photogrammetry + 64 players + destruction and holding all these things together in an impressive netcode. In terms of raw gameplay/lvldesign SuperMario:Odyssey / Galaxy 2 are the absolut best. No Mans Sky might be bad game but the procedural-tech behind it is the foundation for games like Star Citizien. Crysis is/was an amazing tech-demo and the suit is well designed but thats it. The gameplay has major design flaws and the story is not good it is simply bad. In terms of graphics, Crysis one looks fine but it simply cant keep up with BF1s visul effects (espicially fire, explosions, destruction). Crysis tanks your Pc when too much happens, your specs hardly matter, the engine just cant handle it. Dont get me wrong Crysis is and will always be an important piece of gaming history and developement but the thing it that is was a demo first, a game second. It paints a picture for future games how things might work (from an tech perspective) and dev-teams used these information to build better engines, workflows etc + games for larger audiences and not just for pc-ethusiasts.
Your right people are ripped by this next gen crap .it was television screens and monitors that made the real advance alot of amazing detail were in alot if early games you just needed our modern screens to see it.next gen has been dumbed down with tired old clichés a lack of addictive FPS games.battlefield 3 and 4 play better on old systems .and as for battlefield 1 and cod ww2 they play like nice looking mobile or tablet games.somewere when they sold us out to the money machine they lost the love.
I played through crysis the first time on a netbook with a 9400m. It was the experience that made me into a pc gamer, and should illustrate the point that is often missed. That you didn't need a high end computer to enjoy it, but if you had one, it looked better than anything else.
Sado Plays thats a bit of an exaggeration. It ran fine on my old radeon hd 3870 with intel q6600 quad core 2.4 ghz processor. Not maxed out, but it ran alright
I had a 2000 euro laptop back then and i laugh when i think what hardware it had,but i was able to play all crysis games on it without Crysis 3,and if i remember correctly my laptop had a ati radeon hd 5700 512 or 1gb ddr3 gpu. Also back then i don't think there was a pc able to run the game on ultra other than the testing PC's.
Wait, you had something like a 2009 computer or maybe even 2010, ATI HD3000 series was much newer than Crysis, but i (and Sado Plays) played it at release on a 2.000+ euros pc with 2GB DDR3, 8800GTX and Q6600 at 1680x1050, back in early 2008, and this was FUCKING HEAVY, i played it entirely at 25fps or something like that. Anyway, i'm not criticizing it, it was fairly heavy for the beauty it showed us. As i wrote in my other comment, 2017 games have similar graphics but try to run them on 2GB ram and a 768MB VGA.....
The sad thing is the majority of gamers in this day and age won't accept another Crysis. If a game with this much of a tech jump came out today everyone one would be slamming it, calling it poorly optimized and review bombing it because their computers can't run it at ultra settings. That's the reason we'll never have another Crysis. Gamers themselves. Everyone is too self-entitled now.
C'mon man, people don't change. We are literally exactly as self-entitled as we were 1000 years ago. When Crysis first came out, it was a massive leap ahead of anything else graphically. These days, if a game could accomplish that again, it would still be a big deal, as long as it's actually a good game like Crysis was. The problem is that we can't really push games too much further anymore. Sure there's gonna be some room to improve upon graphics for a while still, but I doubt even another 10 years will give us that jump that Crysis did, that'd be approaching photo-realism, which honestly would mean boring games imo, if it were even possible.
McShave I agree. A decade ago people didn't blame the game developers if a decade old system couldn't run a game. Seems like ever since Steam implemented user reviews that it's kids with no money that make these kind of complaints. For example, someone on my friends list told me his system couldn't handle a certain game and all he needed was a used graphics card from Ebay for about $50. I suggested that he do a small job or two for some quick cash, and all of the sudden it was like I was the devil to him. All he could do was give me a list of obstacles that make it "impossible" for him to earn a bit of quick cash, and he told me that game developers should cater to him because it's not his fault.
It's sad to see people pulling the old "back in my day" argument for ten years ago. If you want proof that human nature doesn't really change much, it's that literally everyone in one generation thinks their generation is better. lol
They will only call it poorly optimized if it runs really bad and it has TODAY'S GRAPHICS. If it looks 10x better than what we have today then nobody will call it poorly optimized. They will appreciate the big leap.
In Crysis many buildings were distructable. You could punch through roofs and walls. Or drive a truck through the whole damn building similar to destructible buildings, or hit it with a rocklauncher and destroy it, similar to Redfaction.
Abhishek Mohan I understand that they need money to survive and innovate but forcing players to spend money is kinda unfair. Mobile Games like COC, Modern Combat has pay to win mode in them but the structure of the game is made such that those who doesn't want to pay can play it in whatever ways they like to. Remember that times when games where launched when they were fully completed rather than making DLC packs.
The gameplay: "Here's a big ass compound guarded by soldiers, get something out of it, we don't care how you're going to do it, have fun, see you at the next one'. Not the first time this has been done but with all the environmental destruction, and actual freedom of choice it was a heap of fun.
Yes it is, Not just graphical standpoint Crysis wasn't great, from level design it was a marvelous game, there are very few games that come close to Crysis in terms of mini open world sandbox level design, Far Cry did it before but on foot, but Crysis did it with tanks, Humvees and boats. story was meh in my opinion.
Rumor has it you can run PubG on the computers in Crysis
pubgs code is not streamlined enough for that
But can Battlegrounds run Crysis?
Yeah but it still can't optimize pubg very well
😂😂😂😂
I don't get it.. Don't hate me I'm not a pc gamer
What blows my mind is that this came out only 2 years after GTA San Andreas
Billy Cobb
wow
Technically the ps2 original came out in 04, the PC port was 05.
The original far cry and HL2 were also 04 though, and weren't limited by being developed for inferior hardware. So it's still a pretty amazing jump in visual quality.
I first played crysis in 09, I still had to settle for high settings, ultra was just too much for my OC GTX275 (which was leaps and bounds better than the 8800gtx, which was top of the line when crysis was released). Even so, the graphics were pretty mind blowing
i feel like all gaming graphics and engine around those years made a HUGE improvement .
@@HKT100
True, although a lot of that was (imo) down to developers starting to better utilise the potential power of the newer consoles. Crysis pushed way beyond that, the next game after crysis that truly punished my system was metro 2033 maxed out, but even then I think that game was easier to max out on hardware available at the time than crysis was back in 07

"Now I'm happy when a game even has a single player mode." What a sad world we live in.
yea, and if it does then im CRYIN if it dosent have manual save system, instead uses some lame autosave only and one saveslot, effin consoles!
i can afford to install great drives on my pc and yet game developers only seem to see it from console point? no no consoles dont have great drives yet... why dafuk not? they could easily put in 3tb ones -multiple even! still they are stuck with 0.5 tb? And that is why we have lazy autosaves n checkpoint systems!
And the reason is the gamers are not in unity and don't think deep. Everyone supports companies that are all about money like Valve forgetting what they tried to pull (charge for someone else's mods)...
Neo Deltå I haven’t bought an EA shooter since the last Battlefront. I was suckered into it by nostalgia. Before that was BF4. I honestly don’t care much for the genre anymore due to how homogenized it’s become but the last recent regret free purchase I made was Doom.
I am just saddened by the fact that fps games generally don’t have single player campaigns as often I would like. When they do they tend to be far to skimmed down for my taste.
Chris Gibson thats true and if a.i. develops all the time then there should be the most exiting storymode of all . Thats the main reason to buy a game but its all for the money and loot boxes etc. Bummer
@kumbandit Hell, half of the new Unity projects are scam-ware anyways, anyone and everyone can make a game now and most are producing the same hackneyed tripe. Everyone's guilty. We want to be entertained so we blindly purchase whatever intrigues us even slightly -it's why the Early Access has been so successful.
Still looks better than some games of today, pretty amazing
God I want this game now. Really wish I was a PC gamer years before but now I can :)
Ah I haven't seen much of it but I will research it and decide for myself. I mean it is an old game but thanks for the reply.
Crysis 2 was the best in my opinion, Crysis was new and innovative in a way, but at the same time it offered nothing too impressive what farcry didn't do already.
NecroSpaci Don't fall for what people say. The flak that crysis gets in is story and gameplay aspects generally comes from console gamers, trying to justify the fact that their platforms couldnt run the game at the time.
So yes, the story is slightly bellow average but the gameplay is great. Every "level" is set in a really big map, allowing you to approach objectives the way you want. You can act like a predator using the stealth function in the nano suit or just go guns blazing. These are the basic ways people play, but you can do more, like picking enemies from a distance or skip some of them.
I'd recommend that you wait for the first crysis and warhead to be on sale on GOG so you wont regret much even if you don't like them.
Forgot to mention, Lazy game reviews did a recent video on it, it might help you decide if you want it or not.
I have never seen anything as cool and amazing as the alien environment in Crysis, since then. That was such a spectacular moment, I hated that it had to end at some point. And that is where the sequels just bombed, for me. Gone were the cool aliens. Replaced with ... different aliens, for no reason. Gone was the alien-ness of these aliens. Now they looked generic, boring.
This game looks better than a 2018 game by a AAA developer... Fallout 76.
JustGresh fallout is shit
You are comparing apples with pears. Fallout may have not the graphic crysis 3 does. but it got much more gameplay. Crysis 3 . how long about 30 hours. In Fallout 30h is nothing.Ok Fallout 76 is diffrent. but still a Fallout Game. and if u give it a go . you may like it in the end,. It´s fun.

Comrade Nuka emulation is great for Nintendo games but barely works with PS games because it requires a lot of power. Notice how a game like Zelda runs on a mobile SOC on the Switch and barely runs on a GTX 1050 in CEMU. Not to mention that the PS3 has a different architecture than PC and PS4, so that makes it a whole lot harder to emulate. Same reason why the PlayStation 4 doesn't support PS3 games.

Brave? Ha try telling that to EA Activison Ubisoft etc now. All they're trying to push the limits of now is how much they can corrupt their games to fit as much microtransactions as they can.
I generally agree, but Ubisoft has actually been making some good steps in games like for honor and siege with cosmetic only micro transactions, which is impressive for a triple a studio of their caliber
T.J. Jackson agreed Ubisoft still good (for me at least)
The recent AC games were not really much hype but AC origin is really good and feels fresh.

Still not as evil as activision and EA I guess...
T.J. Jackson maybe with for honor at least they should've spent more time getting servers when the game launched so people could actually play the game.
Crysis is what happens when PC developers decide to stop giving a fuck and just push technology to the limit. Kinda wish that would happen more often.
go see Star Citizen
That's a terrible philosophy as an economical entity, but a damn good one as an artistic endavour !
Sivert it was made for the pc exclusively. Unlike nowadays where stuff if made for console and then ported to pc...the good old days
It kinda is. 'Cause they actually stopped giving a fuck. (Not Crytek per-say)
Crysis is an advertisement for the CryEngine. Pretty much like Half Life used to be advertisement for Valve and other engine-makers had their own Ad-Games, that were supposed to show what the new engine can do.
But yeah.. It would be great if there were more corporations focusing on releasing awesome engines, that allow for awesome games and not rip gamers off with lack of content and ingame-purchases, like it is so trendy now.
When developers are able to, and decide to implement their creative ideas, unharnessed and without holding back, it can turn the finished product into a fine work of art.

This is why we have stagnancy even in great franchises like GTA. Companies simply have no reason to try harder when they can make money so easily with buying in-game currency.
This is why Pub-G is popular. No mirco-Transactions, no grind for gear, no grind for better characters. Every one start equal, first jump or 1,000th jump. Pity that the developers didn't use the Cry2 Engine (I still love the look of Crysis-1, and vs. engines of today it's actually very efficient) because their implementation of Unreal is horrible :(
manitoublack lol it's a battle royale game of course, are you even hearing yourself talking.
Yeah, my point is that you're not forced into the micro-transaction world to be competitive (AKA: Battlefield, COD.) The game stands alone and that's what people like. Obviously RPG's and MMO's have a progressions system, but hat's a core mechanic, not something to be cheated. Having to play a game for hours to unlock gear to make yourself competitive or pay to have it unlocked for you is wrong. Like Pub-G you get the whole game straight away, not paid for DLC to 'get the full experience.' Crysis's multi player was a non progression experience, but was not really 'game changing'

I liked Crysis for beeing linear and open at the same time. You always had one specific objective that leads to exactly one next objective. But the way you reached them was up to you.

First a new assault rifle, then the sniper and C4, resulting in driving a tank at its best point!

God i remember Mafia 1 and just loved that game, 2nd was amazing also. Legendary times :D
That i can't run on more than 11 fps
I feel like developers and publishers today focus more on trying to exploit you and suck your money than to compete with other companies to try to create an amazing and fun game. 😔
BRICIE Its more like companies know that people will buy their games anyways so they just want to capitalize on that base instead of concentrating on competition.
BRICIE EA
BRICIE but what about Nintendo?
BRICIE more so publishers less so developers I think
Well nintendo actually makes fun games instead of selling just what ever but sadly most people dont like that type of games.
"It's that spending that kind of time on development that Crytek did with this game, creating new ideas and technologies, doesn't make the kind of money that microtransactions make."
Thanks a lot EA
YaBoyPsycho Activision is even worse.

Blame Valve, Microsoft and Bethesda actually. For bringing loot boxes main stream blame Activision. EA is simply complicit not causal.

I had to fucking upgrade my computer for this game
I bet it was worth it.
The Ranger Definitely
and havent had to upgrade it since.
If you don't mind explaining, what did you upgrade too and when, and how did it improve the performance?
Newbie i see, crysis is not a heavy game, mod made it the way it is., if you uograded your pc to play the vanilla game you might be playing on an old rig or just blatantly lying
Compare a game from 1997 with 2007 Crysis and then compare Crysis with a 2017 game and see that the graphics evolution sloved down significantly.
Maybe they'll finally start focusing on CPU development rather than GPU development. So we can actually have gameplay, and not just have walking simulators with pretty scenery.
But I don't think that's bad. Graphics are good, but gameplay is what is important. If the industry focuses more on making fun games over pretty games, then I have zero complaints.
Compare 70s gaming to 90s. Things need to be done slow. The bit wars may have brought us good graphics, but that can lead to burnout, especially with dev abuse.
@@nisb9005 but crysis is also a very very good game, on only graphic showcase.

Don't make me sad
Ah, I feel you bro.
what's sad is all the people below crapping on game companies like little kids. yes we get it, they're greedy for money, but fucking deal with it. stop, literally. it's their marketing decisions, you don't have to buy their games. or acknowledge their existence at all, but fucking hell stop crying about it. It's like complaining that a store brand is opening another store in a city or country
Daniel De Sousa what? Lol who made your day bad

life hits you when you realize ten years ago was 2007 and not 1998
I'm way too young to be feeling this old
It hit me this way too many times.
I think the way Crysis fit into my life was as an acheivment over the years. I could never play it on my pentium no graphics from '06. However, over the years I got slightly better computers (never with more than Integrated graphics. But they slowly were able to get me to play it at 15 fps on low everything. That day I was so excited I just yelled out for about a minute or two.
Which brings me to now, about a month ago I bought a gaming computer with and actual, dedicated, graphics card. I bought Crysis and played at max everything. It made the child in me happier than ever.
Crysis was and still is an amazing game, but in terms of accessibility, for me at least, well it took over a decade.
But now, I can run Crysis. :)

No can it run star citizen?

Phenomenal game even 10 years later. Played it just recently in glorious 4K (mostly 40-60 fps; engine was sadly not optimized and understandably so). Still looks and sounds incredible! The gameplay is also fun with many ways of finishing objectives.
Mster Config and other Mods make Crysis even better.
And i would never ever play Crysis again, without the Suit Shortcuts or the Advanced A.I Mod.
Still the best SP Shooter of all time.
yeah the mods is a must, also higher quality textures etc. Still remember god rays tweak for windows 9 lol
I completed this game on my Pentium 4 on low settings I got 17-19 fps good game tho
Exactly. I was running it with a 9600gt at the time and got like 30-35 fps on medium with a couple of setting on high. The game was playable just fine but it's a better experience with at least stable 60fps dx11 everything max. Which is more than doable with a 250$ or so gpu nowadays.
on my Pentium d I have completed it with swiftshader 3d
I completed it on potato.
I join you I had a 7600 AGP 4x limited lol
230 w psu burned my pc when playing crysis
baigagee
You needed to have a GPU card for this game, 8800 GTX was the gamers card back then, 9800 ATi. Pentium 4 or Athlon was fine, better Core 2, on Xp x64.
Most gamers did 30FPS in those days, playable on that old P4 too, specially the HT 5Ghz versions.
Crysis was _why_ I built my first PC, and quite honestly, that was probably one of the big reasons I ended up in a computing field. I saved up for months in order to do so, because you needed a completely bad ass PC to play it properly.
I miss when things were made "because we can", not "because ROI".
What's ROI?
Gaming Turkey return of investment
Well after all the gaming industry (and the entertainment industry in general) is just another industry and the games are produced by companies. And if a game is funded on Investors money who will then publish it for you (like EA did) they need to make the investment worth it so the ROI is the most important thing here. Trying to make crazy graphics and stuff your USP just didn‘t work out, so, as in every industry, game companies are going where the money goes. Which are basically annual games, microtransactions, etc. It‘s simple economics - if there is no demand, there won‘t be any supply, and, sadly, the demand for microtransactions is just way higher than the demand for a game like the first crysis. So if the consumers would buy games like crysis more and less microtransactions, every consumer can make a change.
Same here. Totally agree on the last comment.
return on investment@x33mmm
Crysis franchise is one of the best experiences i've ever had in my life. And its true it was way ahead of its time. Its sad there won't be any game like that in future.
I strongly agree.
Crysis still is the best, most fun, and cool game that I have EVER played.

Yess i was literarly searching for explanation and this video is it
Don't let this distract from that fact that a man spent 80 dollars on battlefront 2 only to find he cant play as Darth Vader. Then EA got the most down voted comment on that thread on Reddit
I honestly want to know when people will stop trusting EA. They never change, but people keep thinking that they will.
Maestam there's one born EVERY minute. For instance, compare cable tv to streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu. Cable started out as a great...wait for it... service... which was once sold in two or three channel packages, read: subscriptions ...then greed took over and packages became more and more niche until sports junkies were conditioned into paying for on demand pay per view events
Its his fault. He spent 80 bucks on a video game.

Smash Once PC graphics and Console graphics are the same the world will be at peace
@@kuromifan10 that will never happen. $500 consoles are too cheap to have graphics on par with $3000 PCs
Crysis (and og Far Cry to an extent, too) was a transformational games IMO ... in the same way Super Mario 64 changed 3D analog movement or FF VII changed cutscenes or CS and SC changed MP.
As technically impressive as it was, what made Crysis amazing was not that it looked pretty -- but the level of interactiveness you had with how pretty it was. It was a combination of the lighting with the physics, the shadows with the destructible environment. Crysis was a generational leap in sandbox gameplay freedom.
A beautiful but static game like Horizon is a big leap in looking real ... but Crysis was a big leap in FEELING real.
A decade later and the raw, unscripted sandbox of shooting or destroying shit in Crysis is STILL more technical and creatively/experimentally fun than most modern open world games and their static environments.
Half Life 2 with that physics engine was also extremely groundbreaking for the time.
Has any game come out since with such perfectly destructible trees and houses? I haven't played one.
The destructible walls in R6 Siege are a big part of the gameplay. Make a hole then aim through it
yeah definitely, +Xavier Capela ... I think Crysis in a lot of ways was most natural evolution of HL2 actually. the want they captivated ppl with creative gameplay and seeing how you interact with the environment was surprisingly similar.
+Robert Hazard ... R6 Siege, bless its heart, is a good symbol that if you make great core gameplay environments, and stick to your guns and do your thing _well_, then gamers are gonna embrace it.
Red Faction Guerrilla had some nice demolition physics for structures.
Saw some comments accusing Gameranx of copying LGR. Reminder that it's the 10 year anniversary of Crisis (November 13, 2007) so a bunch of people have been making videos/articles on it.

6:45 I'm not gonna blame console games, moreover when it comes to micro transaction, it's the mobile games.
cs 1.6
At least we have the Nintendo Switch to now save the gaming world from the mobile games market
Heh, the amount of Android shovelware coming onto the Switch is insane.
I blame Micro-Transactions. I really do. When people shell out large amounts of cash for low quality, small content oriented purchases companies think pay day. Seriously they are killing it off micro-transactions. It is why your games come out incomplete, half baked, and drowned out in stupid useless content available by purchasing that Micro-Transaction.
There are still people, who think, that mobile games are the future and the Nintendo Switch is just garbage.
I think the Crysis Developers Are From The Future
Then why did Crysis 3 suck?
Gaming Turkey developers died cuz they were from the future
In fact they are
they are the aliens in the game and the game is a hidden message...
Yes we are! :p
after 10 years, I'm still missing the Crysis sequel that we never got...
the one that would have continued the cliffhanger of the first game how they must have initially planned it, with the same tech, the same feel of the first one (big open playgrounds)..
I have a special place in my heart for crysis
dexdaladoor I wish we did get the sequel. 2 and 3 were amazing story wise, but not on the same level as 1.
Hey, it's a complete story, it's over. Anything else would be like "Mass Effect: Andromeda".
Love you bro, love this comment❤
dexdaladoor
Why did they stop the sequel?
Or could it be more like Borderlands : The Pre-Sequel? Because anything following from that cliffhanger would be between 1 and 2.

Played the demo with a 6600gt, bought the game day one with a 8800gt, wanted more fps so i bought another 8800gt for sli... Then with visual mods and a obsession with fps i finished the game with a 3way sli GTX 280 setup.. and that's my story with this game and how it evolved my PC while emptying my wallet.
I started with an oem Radeon card I trimmed pcie pins off of to fit in an old Dell I inherited, now I've got Threadripper and a 1080ti. PC gaming owes so much to this game.
Same here. Ended up with two GTX 280s in SLI. Nowadays I still rock top of the line GPUs. This game changed me forever.
Max Turbo one could say, Crytek worked with Hardware manufactorys to get people buy new hardware.
started on a 8800gt too mate! except I just bought a fire sale 8800 ultra maybe a year later and called it quits.
Bought two 7800 gtx before the game launched ,it struggled with that silly windows vista but it was the most beautiful game I had ever seen.
I bought this game for my pc back in 2007 and could not run it at 40+ frames, now 12 years later I can hit 60+ frames!

I got Crysis right after launch and played it on my 9600XT with a Pentium 4 at the time. Had to play on all low settings at like 800x600 haha but it was still so epic to me. In 08 I decided to build my first really capable machine which had an XFX 9600GT and an E7200 Core 2 Duo. I was able to play Crysis on all High settings at 1280x1024 and let me tell you.. I still till this day haven't experienced anything that epic graphically. I really miss those days.... Where big SLI rigs were the king and channels like Maxishine's were banging....
You mean something like 9800GX2 Quad-SLIs oder some 8800 Ultras? I was like 11 or 12 back in the time, but still memorize the videos from Maxishine. Back in the time his 2560x1440 Dell Monitors, his 12 Core/24 Threads X58 build and so on. Holy shit, hehe. This game literally fucked with everything for years :P
dude i played it on a 9800GT with all settings high (except shadow quality at low) at 1080p
Maxishine was the shit in 2008, so many memories watching his stuff and Tiger direct videos about the latest GPUs!
I upgraded to play crysis back in 2007 when I was just 14. Had to save money from my lowly paper round to get an athlon X2 4200 2.2ghz, 2gb ram and X1950 pro. That could only play the game at low/medium on my also new 22" 1650 X 1080 monitor. The next year I got an 8800GT and that took it to the next level! Probs my favourite card of all time. Hail crysis! :P
Try kingdom come deliverance with max settings
Sad at the fact that you didn't even mention AI. They invested well in that front too, and while Crysis was no F.E.A.R. it still mingled open world and risk in a way that planning approaches was really fun. You'd die and understand why from a tactic point of view and you'd mix moments of guns blazing with stealth because enemies would see you and chase you and call reinforcements and the damn choppers and tanks. On hard I would very often run out of bullets and feel like a real commando. We're never getting a gem like that again.
Abner Santos "gem" Don't make me laugh.
^ Yes, he won't make you laugh. Cause it ain't funny. What's the problem with it being a gem?
Because it's not?The only good thing about this game is the graphics.Not much else to look at.Terrible AI(fucking korean bastards spot your from a boat in the sea even if you're hiding in a bush),lackluster story with the same "oh look it's actually aliens" crap in the second half of the game that Far Cry also pulled off but there it was mutants instead of aliens.Not surprised there considering the fact it's from the guys who made Far Cry.
Jordan Hristov People like u dont deserve any game at all. I played this game when it came out and i can say it was the best game in its time. People who started playing games 10 years after, not knowing how hard it was to create one fcking game in those times, and 3rd person at that. Acting smart like u know shit. If u are that smart lets see u make AI move, yet alone create a game. How much time ppl spend to create one game, we are the only ones that know how hard that is, and this is thank you. I wish everyone stops creating games, becouse ppl act like spoiled kids. Anyyone who thinks that can create better game, go make it, learn how to do it, and stop acting all mighty. Everyone has its own taste for games... If u dont like it leave, done.
+Miroslav Miki are you a dev? I am always interested in the development side of things as having programmed a little in college I know it can be infuriating.
+Jordan Hristov I don't know man, to each his own. Honestly, having played the games of that time, the Medal of Honor franchise, COD 2 through 4, I always thought Crysis AI superior to those. If a soldier spots you moving from a boat in the sea because you showed your face that's smart AI. The AI in Crysis coupled with the open world helped create gameplay narratives unique to your style without the in-your-face scripting we see in recent campaigns of COD, Battlefield and Destiny where enemies often just run into your FOV and line up for you to shoot them.
Still has better grapghics than most of games in 2019
Lmao following crysis everywhere and still talk shit about it lol
It doesn't, not compared to AAA games like Metro Exodus, RE2 Remake, Control, etc...
To fix this issue and get another game like Crysis is to buy the games
you like and you think it deserve the money and stop spending your
money on micro transaction. the world is in our hand and every change is
based on our decision not EA or UBI
We are ruining the game industry not EA or UBI or any other micro transaction company, they deliver what we want and if we don't buy game based on micro transaction then they will not make one and if we do then they make one its as simple as that, so if we don't support micro transaction then they will not make a micro transaction game, if we don't pirate Single player games without buying it if its good then we don't get any new single player game as simple as that. these company are just bunch of 1000 people and they need to get money from their work and if their work can't make money when their game get pirate at the first hour of the launch then they will make another way to get money for living and thats the shitty MP games with micro transaction.
N nOni yea but it's the minority that are screwing us out of quality. I know someone whose probably spent a thousand dollars on micro transactions. All they need is a few people who don't care about money
See how a success Witcher 3 was and still is sadly, the industry is filled with cod-minecraft like kids, and this destroy the industry

When Crysis came out, my computer was pretty old (bought in 2005), and already couldn't run many new games on high settings. Still, I could run Crysis on minimals and played through the whole game. I loved it.
Crysis was the closest thing gamers could get to a interactive CGI trailer back in the day. It lagged quite a bit on my PC but it was beautifull to look at. Had to choose between the game and Dragon Age 2 back in 2012 (5 years later), got crysis, never regret it. "Maximum Game"
Good decision. I played & beat Dragon Age 2 last year and regretted it as a blasphemy to the franchise and a waste of my time.
I think Im still losing the context. What was the second best looking game when crysis was released?
I remember this game. I built an almost $6k pc back in the day. 8 core processor, 32gb memory, 4 graphics cards linked together and liquid cooling. I could run this game at ultimate and it was absolutely beautiful. Better than any game today. I miss this type of gaming. Thanks for making this video. Brought back a lot of nostalgia for me and made my day.
Mmmm.
The first 8-core desktop cpu was the Core i7-5960X released in 2014.
The top of the line server processor in 2007 was the Xeon 5160, a 2 core CPU.
You might have had a Core 2 Quad, which was a 4 core 8 thread multi-CPU chipset, essentially 2 core 2 duo’s stuck on one motherboard. If so, I’d own that. The core 2 Quad still is rare and was a massive flex.

Andile Joshua Nintendo: Crysis coming to Switch
I don't remember Crysis being exceptional in terms of story or gameplay (they were good just not what I would term great), but I jumped on the graphics hype train. Damn were they pretty! I remember the joy of finally being able to run it at Very High settings... on 800x600 resolution!!! :D
Mostakim Habib The story was good (nothing outstanding, but it was innovative) but the gameplay was really great. The ways you could approach your targets were unlimited and even custimising your weapons to fit your style was fun. The abilities that come with the Nanotech suit were great and fit they story perfectly imo
The story is great (for an FPS) and the gameplay is amazing. Truly one of the best FPS ever made.
Suit mechanics were also great.Even if I didn't like demonization of Koreans I liked the alien in mountain thing.I was curious all along the story.
I remember booting up the demo n my old pc and witnessing the glory of lagging EA and Crytek logos... Good times
Mostakim Habib This game was and still is superior not only with graphics, but also at physics and environmental destruction. This is why people refer to this game as a "sandbox" FPS ,a trully one of a kind game!
Crysis wasn't that bad when it comes to optimization. Everyone just wanted to run it on the highest settings (including me). Eventually I chose mid to high settings with an early core 2 duo processor (I think 1,8Ghz) and a Geforce 8800 GT.
The reached framerate was somewhere around 30-40. And it still looked better than everything else on the market.
ThePandafriend Yeah that’s why I don’t get that people take running things fully maxed out as the benchmark all the time. The quality difference between ultra and high is truly negligible in most games, and a game that truly looks good doesn’t need maxed out graphics to look good.
I played it on a GeForce 6200 lol, on low settings obviously. Then built a new pc a year later with quad core and an overclocked GTX 260 and damn...blew my mind
The fact that CRYsis and farCRY were created by CRYtek and used the CRYengine makes me CRY
Bruhh xD
And my gpu
It still looks better than 90% of games released now... in 2017.... TEN YEARS later!!
That my opinion too
Jordanb98 Not really. The textures are bad by today's standards.
Too bad Battlefront 2 EA is ruined, it's such a pretty game and in my opinion possibly the best looking game today, but... Those micro transactions... Those god damn micro transactions man...
Micro-transactions dont have any influence on how you experience the game dude. Like everyone was flaming Shadow of War and im sitting here playing it and not even feeling the need to use them. The argument that microtransactions ruin everything is in most cases already pretty stupid
Slappy well you're wrong actually, it never used to be an issue but now it is when the only way to progress in games is by lootboxes after rounds. Progress that can be sped up if someone pays for more loot boxes. Unfortunately some games do this now but thankfully not all with micro transactions do. I'm fine with micro transactions in games but when it can modify the progression that's where I draw the line... I didn't clarify what I meant in the previous reply
Crysis is what happens when devs make a game with pc in mind and not the consoles.
Yep. Fuck consoles. In the ass. With a stick. Without a lube.
In 21st century, the fact of owning a PS or an Xbox is a proof of ignorance or stupidity. Or both at once.
Kamil Bujak You're a bit salty it seems hmmmmmm.
It wasnt much of a game then a tech demo , so give some credit to consoles for making something fun out of all these polygons.
Nonsense, Crysis had great semi open world sandbox-ish gameplay.
What you call "console fun" I call brain dead rehashes.
I played crysis for the first time in 2008 and I was just speechless when I saw it's graphic. It was nothing but stunning as I couldn't believe in my eyes. It made me progress in game as slow as possible cuz I couldn't let myself pass by those landscapes lol However I stuck in a part of game and wasn't able to finish it. Later found out that it was a bug( that infamous bug after destroying tanks ) but couple of weeks ago I started to play the game once again ( of course with a new system and on highest setting ). Well it's graphic wasn't as impressive as it looked 10 years ago in comparison with modern games but it was still standard. I don't think u can say such a thing for any other game after a decade. But about it's physic... Bet u can't find more than a couple of games with such a physic in present. Just imagine u could break almost any plant with bullet or your fist. I just can say crytech is the most genius developer at least in technical aspects. Just check crysis 3 which was released in 2013. It's still one of the best looking games in the market. I think third party developers must use cryengine instead of unreal cuz it's much much better.
Crysis was made by people, who made the engine, and for a pretty much single purpose - show off. Games on Unreal Engine are built for the market. The video pretty much tells you that, btw.
"I think third party developers must use cryengine instead of unreal cuz it's much much better." Unless you worked with both engines, you cannot really make a proper comparison. Games are not an indicator of engine abilities, it is an indicator of developer's abilities. If you gave Epic Games task to make the best game possible, they would not give a birth to Fortnite at all, you know.Did you even see the video? it explains full well why the hell Crysis is exceptional and makes cryengine look good. Crysis was not made for the market, UNLIKE ANY OTHER GAME EVER.
Easily the best single player shooter i have ever played. Can still remember how excited i was when it came out. Not a lot of games that can compare to that. And after more than 10 years later IT STILL LOOKS AMAZING!
Have you played Half-life 2? Crysis plays great and looks even better but I found the environment sterile and artificial whereas HL2s world felt more lived in and real.
@@joet7136Half life died. Not because it's bad but because valve stopped caring. Also Crysis is better in every possible way.
All things considered, it was well optimized. And I loved the playability. in 2008 I was in army training for 11 moths and after it was over, I really wanted to re play Crysis because I felt like real guns were the most similar to what they felt like in crysis even though some crysis weapons were sci-fy. they just nailed the sounds and loudness and animations. guns felt heavy and had a knock back. Also the ammunition felt realistic. This started from far cry 1 and crysis was similar. In other games I didn't feel the distinction between having ammo in the magazin and having ammo in the chamber. It really encouraged you to leave at least one in the chamber when reloading, so you won't have to manually load 1 in the chamber making it slower and lowering the capacity by 1. In other games the reload animation was the same in either case. Also it was the first game where the 1 man VS army scenario seemed viable because you had the advantage of your suite. But at the highest difficulty the balance felt just right.
There was another game around that time that was the most innovative game I have ever seen. and didn't care about being able to run on most machines. It was an RTS called Supreme Commander. It pretty much didn't run on any consumer PC when it was released. You had to wait a couple of years. The publisher pressured to rush it but devs refused to compromise their game. It's an awesome game but went under the radar and has no customer support but the community took over balancing it and made third party multiplayer servers and mods. It was really hard on processors. some maps were 80 Kilometers across and you could have 10 players in a match with an upper limit of 2000 units each. every shot was simulated and could be dodged. It had an unique resource system where you didn't need the resources up front to spent them. instead you spent them as you were generating them. A lot of things constantly drained energy. like building things or keeping your radars and sensors and ballistic energy shields up or converting energy directly into matter. you could pause some of these to dedicate your energy income to most important functions like rushing out an anti nuke when you scout enemy building nukes. it had a variety of land air and naval units, weapon systems and defense systems. different artillery, missile, torpedo, laser, anti air, and gun systems with counter measures. Some ships and bigger units had a bunch of systems that all worked independently. There were a lot of cool units from submersible aircraft carriers that held 500 plains to giant spider shaped robots with radar stealth, anti air, torpedoes a huge laser and an ability to walk on the seafloor. From flying saucers to mobile factories that have ballistic energy shields and 4 independent artillery units on them. Every game starts with 1 main guy that obliterates early game units but the goal is to assassinate the main guy and keep yours alive, but you also wanna fight with it until its low on health. You could micro your every unit but also had tools to automate some actions like patrol roots or ferrying units straight from factories to battle by dropships or making your factories build a set of different units on an endless loop.
If you like RTS go buy it on steam including the expansion. Both have a single player campaign. But you might need to uninstall any software that controls your systems audio settings (like Realtek audio controller) to have the sound work properly in this game.
optimization was actually barely average. then again a level design that big at its time, thats huge
So right about supreme Commander 1..... I still play it Lan with my cousins
Supreme Commander and Supreme Commander Forged Alliance is the best RTS ever you have to master the economy and know what type of building that you need to build what do you have to tech up. Do you need to build your unit first or you you need to build defense first. I love this game same as Crysis you need a super and high end pc i can play it but i have to lower the graphic.
@Kadir Hizarci Not true. It scaled very well, based on settings. Even though there were not PCs around to run it maxed out, turning down the settings would make it playable on a mid end PC while still looking better than almost anything else.
I was not necessarily a fan of it as a game, but I did and still do admire the technology behind it.
Total Annihilation (TA, 1997) was Supreme Commander's (2007) "spiritual predecessor". Of note, TA was released 6 months *before* StarCraft I (1998) came out. TA had tons of modding options, including changing the AI and adding hundreds of community-made units long before modding games was a legit thing. TA also has an upper limit of 5,000 units total. Most of the ideas found in SupCom can be found in TA. TA with the Core Contingency expansion is still an excellent skirmishing RTS if you can look past the dated 3D models rendered in *software*. In many ways, TA was way ahead of its time and still sets the minimum standard for what a RTS should be - a standard that even StarCraft II (2010-2015) never attained.
I never heard about Crysis until my best friend got hyped and bought the game right after it got released .Of course the game was running on full settings because he had a crazy PC , a really amazing game .I actually never played because he was so devoted I was just crushing at his place ,eating trash and watching him play,it was like a cinema I swear lmao
Yellow Waffle your friends sounds messed up

Believe it or not, back then, bunch of ppl was still rocking 1024x768 / 1280x1024 CRTs or really shitty early LCD's 60hz
1080p LCD's became normal at around 2009 i'd say.
dude omg same (well not 2 decades lol)i was 5 when i went to my first cyber coffee and played cs 1.3 in 2002, been playing cs ever since, Half-Life 1 is my favorite singleplayer game , i was 10 when my parents bought the pc for our house in christmass of 2007 , it was a shit pc even for back then (8400gs, 1gb ram, e2200) my monitor also was one of those shitty early LCDs LG W2042s 1680x1050, ran Crysis 1 in 800x600 all low...was actually somewhat playable.
The one thing that i remember abour crysis the most was when i first booted the game up and used the cloack mode and as i was moving, my enemy kept looking where i was before i turned on the cloack...my mind was legitimately blown as a kid back then, never had that feel ever again with a game (i was very impressed by Watch_Dogs™ 2012 demo tho).
Im probably gonna build a high end pc next year...waiting to see what about Volta
Geez you two make me feel old lol. Been gaming for more than 30 years but I'm only 37 haha.
maybe ur friend PC's is from nasa :p
_"Why Was Crysis A Big Deal?"_
Answer: Because even NASA couldn't run it at full settings without nearly bankrupting the entire country. lol
Under rated comment
🤣🤣🤣👌👌
I used to have an average Pentium 4 at that time with 8600GT and it ran on it just fine. Not max settings but it ran ok.
@@edwardcrow8940 let me guess it lagged every second and was heated up the system just by playing for a short time.
@@Legion849 No, it didn't. It was perfectly playable
I remember back in 2009 when I tried to install Crisis on my humble PC and my PC was like, "Are you fucking kidding me?"
Personally I think Crysis was (and possibly still) the pinnacle of gaming. While the story wasn't the absolute best it was good enough to keep me interested and since then many stories have outdone it by far, but the technology, the gameplay, graphics, all of it, it feels like we've taken steps back from there. You look at what it was 10 years ago and compare it to the newest CoD or BF and it keeps up with them in terms of looks. Imagine if that was the industry standard back then where we would be today. It's like everyone else only just started getting to where Crysis was in the last couple of years.
but this way the medium money to play a game would be higher. not everyone can afford a good pc
That's because idiots buy crap like that without thinking, and they see they don't have to make that effort (and cost) to improve what they already have, it's good times for them, who cares about consumers?
kumbandit or maybe people just buy what they like?
I disagree. We have never made any steps backwards, only forwards. DICE made massive jumps with StarWars:Battlefront and Bf1 regarding photogrammetry + 64 players + destruction and holding all these things together in an impressive netcode. In terms of raw gameplay/lvldesign SuperMario:Odyssey / Galaxy 2 are the absolut best. No Mans Sky might be bad game but the procedural-tech behind it is the foundation for games like Star Citizien. Crysis is/was an amazing tech-demo and the suit is well designed but thats it. The gameplay has major design flaws and the story is not good it is simply bad. In terms of graphics, Crysis one looks fine but it simply cant keep up with BF1s visul effects (espicially fire, explosions, destruction). Crysis tanks your Pc when too much happens, your specs hardly matter, the engine just cant handle it. Dont get me wrong Crysis is and will always be an important piece of gaming history and developement but the thing it that is was a demo first, a game second. It paints a picture for future games how things might work (from an tech perspective) and dev-teams used these information to build better engines, workflows etc + games for larger audiences and not just for pc-ethusiasts.
CosmicFlower the pinnacle of gaming is halo
4:28 I would believe it if you tell me this is a 2017 new FPS teaser
Looking at the video it actually looks better than codww2.
Maybe from an indie company lol.
Your right people are ripped by this next gen crap .it was television screens and monitors that made the real advance alot of amazing detail were in alot if early games you just needed our modern screens to see it.next gen has been dumbed down with tired old clichés a lack of addictive FPS games.battlefield 3 and 4 play better on old systems .and as for battlefield 1 and cod ww2 they play like nice looking mobile or tablet games.somewere when they sold us out to the money machine they lost the love.
Paul Lee g you needed modern technology to run games at the resolution of modern screens.

One of the best games ever
This game used to Shit on my pc
my first gpu fucking died after running it for like 30 min
Flex Gene omg really smh?? Why I thought people were joking
No joke here friend, that game is a gpu killer lol
yea it can be unforgiving I have abused older gaming pc's trying to play it in the past lol.
Flex Gene was
2:42 Yeah, Cry Engine 2 was a great game.
Leon S. Hahaha good catch.
I think it was a joke on how he thinks the Cry Engine 2 is the main thing of this game
I noticed that too.
It's often joked that Crysis wasn't a game, but a tech demo for Cry Engine 2. Which is absolutely true.
Lol
The tree cutting was amazing. Never noticed it back when I was playing. Hell, even my dad was hooked in the game back then.
It has been 10 year already?
yep. we're old.
Damn right
And i finally managed to run Crysis in Ultra on my PC about half a year ago...... like.. WTF
Whitestair Reaper
I just got a Mac to play it on :(
Yeah, im kinda new to building PCs.... and i fked up on the cpu
I played through crysis the first time on a netbook with a 9400m.
It was the experience that made me into a pc gamer, and should illustrate the point that is often missed. That you didn't need a high end computer to enjoy it, but if you had one, it looked better than anything else.
Exactly, the game wanted high specs but minimums were like Pentium 4s and those were what the source engine wanted...
i was one of the lucky person who played crysis in 2008. beck then it was almost impossible to run crysis on a normal computer
Sado Plays thats a bit of an exaggeration. It ran fine on my old radeon hd 3870 with intel q6600 quad core 2.4 ghz processor. Not maxed out, but it ran alright
I had a 2000 euro laptop back then and i laugh when i think what hardware it had,but i was able to play all crysis games on it without Crysis 3,and if i remember correctly my laptop had a ati radeon hd 5700 512 or 1gb ddr3 gpu. Also back then i don't think there was a pc able to run the game on ultra other than the testing PC's.
I finished it on delta with 15fps, that's how devoted to it I was
@bogs, same!! 3870, q6600 oc'd to 3.0ghz and 6gb ddr2! those were the days...... :(
Wait, you had something like a 2009 computer or maybe even 2010, ATI HD3000 series was much newer than Crysis, but i (and Sado Plays) played it at release on a 2.000+ euros pc with 2GB DDR3, 8800GTX and Q6600 at 1680x1050, back in early 2008, and this was FUCKING HEAVY, i played it entirely at 25fps or something like that. Anyway, i'm not criticizing it, it was fairly heavy for the beauty it showed us. As i wrote in my other comment, 2017 games have similar graphics but try to run them on 2GB ram and a 768MB VGA.....
Crysis may potentially be coming out of retirement at long last. The Twitter account made its first post since 2016.
Rose Supreme remaster
The sad thing is the majority of gamers in this day and age won't accept another Crysis. If a game with this much of a tech jump came out today everyone one would be slamming it, calling it poorly optimized and review bombing it because their computers can't run it at ultra settings. That's the reason we'll never have another Crysis. Gamers themselves. Everyone is too self-entitled now.
C'mon man, people don't change. We are literally exactly as self-entitled as we were 1000 years ago. When Crysis first came out, it was a massive leap ahead of anything else graphically. These days, if a game could accomplish that again, it would still be a big deal, as long as it's actually a good game like Crysis was. The problem is that we can't really push games too much further anymore. Sure there's gonna be some room to improve upon graphics for a while still, but I doubt even another 10 years will give us that jump that Crysis did, that'd be approaching photo-realism, which honestly would mean boring games imo, if it were even possible.
McShave I agree. A decade ago people didn't blame the game developers if a decade old system couldn't run a game. Seems like ever since Steam implemented user reviews that it's kids with no money that make these kind of complaints. For example, someone on my friends list told me his system couldn't handle a certain game and all he needed was a used graphics card from Ebay for about $50. I suggested that he do a small job or two for some quick cash, and all of the sudden it was like I was the devil to him. All he could do was give me a list of obstacles that make it "impossible" for him to earn a bit of quick cash, and he told me that game developers should cater to him because it's not his fault.
It's sad to see people pulling the old "back in my day" argument for ten years ago. If you want proof that human nature doesn't really change much, it's that literally everyone in one generation thinks their generation is better. lol
They will only call it poorly optimized if it runs really bad and it has TODAY'S GRAPHICS. If it looks 10x better than what we have today then nobody will call it poorly optimized. They will appreciate the big leap.
Cyberpunk 2077 may actually be the new crysis or half life 2.. Let's see if it revolutionalizes gaming once more
Atleast trees were distructable
In Crysis many buildings were distructable. You could punch through roofs and walls. Or drive a truck through the whole damn building similar to destructible buildings, or hit it with a rocklauncher and destroy it, similar to Redfaction.
But we can't run Crysis now....:-(
Sad to see that a innovation falls behind because of the shitty monetized games market.
abhilash jena wanna survive brother...... Think about the people who worked for it.... If you were one of them... ???
Abhishek Mohan I understand that they need money to survive and innovate but forcing players to spend money is kinda unfair. Mobile Games like COC, Modern Combat has pay to win mode in them but the structure of the game is made such that those who doesn't want to pay can play it in whatever ways they like to. Remember that times when games where launched when they were fully completed rather than making DLC packs.
Yaa... I do agree that... Hoping for better things in future
The gameplay: "Here's a big ass compound guarded by soldiers, get something out of it, we don't care how you're going to do it, have fun, see you at the next one'.
Not the first time this has been done but with all the environmental destruction, and actual freedom of choice it was a heap of fun.
But can it run crysis 2 on crysis 3 on a computer in crysis?
SupreMEME yes even on console
2007, Hell of a Year with Mass Effect and Crysis, two of my favorite franchises started !
cainsean don’t you DARE forget Halo 3!
The Witcher! STALKER!, HL2:EP2!
The operative words being "franchise" and "started".
Ah... those were still the days when games were released as complete & finished products players could rent & trade.
cainsean and cod modern warfare
Crysis is one of the best games ever
not even close.
Yes it is, Not just graphical standpoint Crysis wasn't great, from level design it was a marvelous game, there are very few games that come close to Crysis in terms of mini open world sandbox level design, Far Cry did it before but on foot, but Crysis did it with tanks, Humvees and boats. story was meh in my opinion.
So in your opinion a game without a scenario can be one of the best game ever. lol ok.
what scenario you're searching for?
Ever played Deus Ex?
The time when a German game company ruled the PC world. :)
