One of my fondest memories around Crysis is the whole "but can it run Crysis" unofficial benchmark. I remember everyone looking at the game going "yeah my machine can't run this". Ended up the game ran pretty well even on my potato machine back then, just had to keep all the graphics on low. I'm kind of tempted to buy the remastered version and see how much better it looks on my Xbox Series S like a decade later
- tikkabhuna 5y agoYes definitely! Being more of a sandbox game offering different play styles I always gave it a go when I upgraded my PC.
- paulmd 5y agoUnfortunately, Crysis 1 is seriously single-thread bottlenecked. It was designed in anticipation of the "10 GHz Pentium 4" school of CPUs that never ended up existing, so it runs like trash even today with high-end hardware. The remaster does not fix this and actually is a step down in visuals in some respects, due to the ever popular "we remastered from a shitty port that never worked right in the first place". Halo also comes to mind, with the Halo PC version having completely broken shaders and much different weapons balance from the xbox version. In the case of crysis I believe it was the other way around, the game was remastered from the lower-fidelity Xbox version... so it actually is visually worse in some areas. https://gamerant.com/crysis-remastered-review/ https://gamerant.com/crysis-remastered-review/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_Az4-2o9AI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_Az4-2o9AI
