I personally really enjoyed the original Crysis and Warhead. The story and gameplay were fantastic.
I'm guessing they're remastering it to make it more available to people, since the only people that actually played Crysis were either rich or benchmarkers doing canned runs. Which is just sad since it's truly a game worth experiencing.
I'm in for a copy.
Not really true. To run it maxed out you needed a very good GPU. But turning down just a few settings (like shadows) would let it run without issue on even mid range machines.
You could get decent results using medium quality settings at lower resolutions, but 2007-2008 was around the time that 1080p was becoming mainstream.
Crysis demo performance in-depth
DirectX 9 Performance. Crysis is a highly anticipated first person shooter developed exclusively for the PC by Crytek, the makers of the award-winning Far Cry. Besides the expectations for quality...www.techspot.com
A decent amount of people stayed away from it due to the implied requirements. Like I said, most people didn't actually play it. I don't recall ever speaking to another gamer that played through the campaign. Whenever I tried to discuss the game as more than just a benchmark people's eyes would glaze over because they had zero idea or just think I was nuts.
You also have to remember people didn't spend nearly as much on GPUs back in the day. $200-300 was a lot to spend on graphics power back then for the average user. Now, that's an accepted baseline 1080p card.
There were a lot of factors working against Crysis actually being a played game and not just a benchmarking tool.
What are you talking about? Everyone I know (offline and online) who bought Crysis, played Crysis. My system struggled to play it on High settings, but once I dropped most stuff to Medium, I played through it time and time again.A decent amount of people stayed away from it due to the implied requirements.

My entire point was that very few people actually played the game and experienced the story and I'll be glad to see this getting another chance for more people to experience the full game. Stop twisting my words into things I didn't say.
Stop making me repeat myself.
Sales do not equate to people actually playing through the campaign. That's as loose a projection of metrics as my, obviously anecdotally mentioned "I've spoken to no one that's actually played the game."
I don't know why you're so fixated on misinterpreting my point.
Because your point is wrong. You made the claim that very few people who purchased the game, played through the game, which is asinine since you have absolutely zero evidence to back up that claim other than the anecdotal response you had. Trying to make a claim off ignorance rarely ends well for the person making it.Sales do not equate to people actually playing through the campaign.

Looks pretty good:
Unfortunately it's tied to the cancerous Epic store.
Looks good overall, but there's something sort of "off" with the water. Artistically-speaking it's beautiful but it's "too clean" / too virbant, not sure how to put it. But yeah looks good overall. I wonder what the original Far Cry would look like now with a remaster. I think I'd like to see it. I mean with today's standards and tech. I know it was done I think around 2013? But yeah, now would make some nice differences.
No it won't. In fact I believe they've removed the VTOL mission that the orginal had.Hey guys, sorry for the bump, but do you know if Crysis Remastered will include new Missions?
Dx11 and its still single thread.Which API does the PC version use? I've read various reports of DX11, DX12 and Vulkan. I have an RX 480 so either DX12 or Vulkan will run more efficiently for me than DX11.
