Please give my 3900X a workout.

My 6700K and 5700 XT is ready. (I hope)

 

Still wonder if this will include MP. It was a pretty cool mode. 64 players with nanosuits and vehicles. The objective was to capture points until you can attack and destroy the enemy base.

 

Edit: Seems SP only. I hope it'a cheap.

If this remaster uses a new engine it will actually run and look better than the original.  Being limited to 2 CPU cores was and is a huge bottleneck for the original version.

 

Also I hope we edit the suit abilities.  Altering the config file so you can run faster, run longer, and recharge quicker made the game more enjoyable, especially because I think the default values were too low given the really open design and distances you have to travel.

 

Yeah I've been trying to play through it, and find the suit abilities rather limiting. Sure it shouldn't be too easy, and on the hardest difficulty give me a bit of a challenge, but I still want to feel more like a super soldier. The Maximum Armour is barely anything. 

 

Do you know where exactly I would edit the powers to turn them up a notch, and any recommendations as to how much I should increase them?

Been too long, you'll have to google how to do it.  All I remember is it's really simple, just a couple of lines you can edit with notepad.

 

For the values.... I'd say at least double them, lol.  But you can go nuts with it and run like the Flash.  Honestly I'd say editing it however you like is fair considering the AI can see you a mile away through trees when you're uncloaked, especially those mother fuckers in boats.

I think it's interesting that people think that Crysis 2 is worse than Crysis 3 when both the critic score and user score on Metacritic for Crysis 2 is higher than for Crysis 3 (significantly higher particularly in terms of critic score; 86 vs. 76). 

 

It's separately worth noting that the user score for Crysis 1 and Crysis: Warhead are significantly higher (8.1 and 7.9, respectively) compared to the user scores for Crysis 2 (6.9) and Crysis 3 (6.6). Take that how one will. 

 

Either way, I'm hoping the remaster includes Warhead and all the mulltiplayer modes, etc. from both games as well. 


I would argue that the higher Crysis 2 scores are due to the hype surrounding it’s release.

Crysis Remastered delayed after fan reaction to leaked trailer

Quote

Crytek had been planning to reveal a remastered version of the original Crysis today, but the video leaked a little bit early on YouTube. Fans reacted poorly, and now the reveal — and the game release itself — is being delayed.

 

Having seen the leaked trailer myself, I can say that the game visually looked...bad.  Really, really bad.

 

And, no - it wasn't a trailer of the Switch version!

It looks the same as the original with better shadows and slightly better lighting in some areas. The original, for the most part, still looks good. I guess I can kinda understand people being upset as the devs probably should have at least added higher res textures, smoother animations, and maybe better vegetation effects on top of the added ray tracing.

Never played this one and I'm kind of thirsty for a good FPS, what is this most comparable to gameplay and gunplay wise? 


Probably the original FarCry.

There is a demo for Crysis you can dl of the PC version which gives you the first level iirc.

Not just low res, but full of compression artifacts. Can't tell whether it looks good or bad because it looks like the video was rendered in 2009.

Yeah, even the new sony intro at the beginning of the youtube video looked compressed and shitty.  That being said you could still see some of the textures used in the game were the originals.  Which used to be fantastic but don't really stand up anymore.  If they want to charge for a remastered version then they better put in the work.

After watching the HD version I'm struggling to see what all the fuss is about. It's seems to be slightly improved vanilla Crysis, which should live up to expectations for a remaster.  It was never going to be a remake like Gears Ultimate Edition or anything. This is pretty much at the LOD of a mid-range PS4 game, which is still kind of amazing for a game released over a decade ago. Visuals that mach Crysis + Mods would be ideal, but that wouldn't be feasible for the switch port. Considering the troubles Crytech have been in lately and how many classic titles are still stuck on older platforms, it's a gift that we're getting this at all. 

 

Side note: Why are there so many takes on the internet saying this is a sandbox game? Am I off base in remembering it as being linear, at most open/linear?

Think Far Cry + Half Life 2

It seems like they did a good job on the Switch, but it's a pretty different thing to make a good looking game run on lesser hardware than it is to make an old game look new.

 

That tweet indicates they remastered the nanosuit texture. If they put in the work to upres all the textures, throw in some cool new lighting and post effects and it could be a worthwhile remake.
