      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

      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

      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.

      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.

    • @mikearaujo377
      @mikearaujo377 7 лет назад +58

      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.

      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.

      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. 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 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.

      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 (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.

    Sad at the fact that you didn't even mention AI.

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.

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.

    The reached framerate was somewhere around 30-40. And it still looked better than everything else on the market.

      @AwesomePossum510 7 лет назад +3

      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.

      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

    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.

    • @true7251
      @true7251 6 лет назад

      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.

    @youluvana 7 лет назад +73

    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.

      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.

      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).

    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.

      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.

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.
