Support NeoGAF

You’re not making sense here?

On the one hand you’re saying you don’t like the aesthetic of the re-master, that you prefer the look of the original, which is a perfectly valid opinion.

But then, suddenly, at the end you take a swipe at Crytek and say ‘bad job all around’.

Sorry? - what are you talking about... they did a bad job because they re-mastered the game? They did a bad job because of the performance? I don’t see how your conclusion is supported here?

Both are true. I don't like the decisions they made with the look of the remaster, I think it's a downgrade. But even then, from a technical POV it sucks. Like, the fact that it is still single-core dependent is just bizarre, the performance looks terrible, it's just a mess.

 

[oagboghi2]

There is no true or lie in that statment my random internet friend. As I said, a matter of taste.

How you could look at the old version and say this remaster doesn't look better is just ridiculous.

I've accidentally downloaded the X-Box Series S version

I guess this explain why they choise Epic Game Store. They're knowing people would refund and Epic usally pay for the refunds in this case, just like in Shenmue.

I can't say I very dissapointed with Crytek, but this sure reduce some of the Saber reputation.

considering how much earlier the switch release came out and that the switch version is good for the platfrom, I wonder if saber was hired to do the switch remaster then had the other versions added later.

The Switch version is amazing I must say. Is just the others that don't match with today standarts besides the bugs and crashes.

 

[Armorian]

It's using FUCKING DX11... Crytek WTH are you doing? And RT is software?

 

[Kaleinc]

This company just wants to make you CRY -tek, -sis, far .
If you ever bought any of their games I'd check my cereal in case their shit's in it.

 

[Hostile_18]

To be fair this is my first taste of Ray Tracing and I love it. HDR and 4k I've come to appreciate as I've used it extensively and then gone back to older games, where here I noticed the improvement straight away. I look forward to it been used alot more next gen.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Does the PC version not have POM? I've noticed a real distinct lack of it all over the place and it just looks bad without it.

Crysis Remastered is not based on the original PC 2007 version, has worse PC controls

Before benchmarking the game, we've decided to re-install the original Crysis game and compare these two versions.

www.dsogaming.com

Crysis Remastered, as we’ve already reported, is based on the PS3/X360 version. As such, the game does no longer have the Ascension mission.

For instance, grenades do no longer affect bushes. In the original PC version, most – if not all bushes – were affected by the grenades. In the remaster, they remain static. All trees and bushes do not sway as much as they did in the original game, giving the remaster a somehow “static” feeling.

Crytek and Saber have also changed the game’s Parallax Occlusion Mapping effects. As such, and while some areas look better in the remaster, some other areas are “more flat” than in the original game.

Crysis Remastered also has worse PC controls, especially when using the old/classic nanosuit. In the original game, players could immediately power jump (when using the Strength mode) by simply hitting the spacebar. In Crysis Remastered, players must keep pressing the spacebar key in order to power jump. Not only that, but there is latency/lag issue when using regular jump (it takes almost half a second between issuing the command and Nomad actually jumping). This lag issue makes the game feel weird and unresponsive when using K&M. Furthermore, you can no longer run diagonally in Speed Mode. Oh, and there aren’t any more any leaning control options.

This is so disappointing. Basically we're looking at a port of a port, more so than a remaster. This made sense for Switch, but seems a bit lazy for the PC version.

I can only assume this was done for budget and time constraints. Would it have been feasible to use 2007 Crysis as the source for the PC remastered version?

 

[Riven326]

There's no excuse for this shit. Lazy game developers not doing their jobs. That much is clear.

 

[Armorian]

Look at this shit, this game is more CPU limited than vanilla Crysis and that game was running on 2 threads

69% GPU usage... turn around and:

Fucking DX11 mess... Oh and 3080 is DOA, this game eats 8GB of VRAM for breakfast in 2560x1080 and still stutters. This is with v.high textures not CiRC mode.

Is this not because no optmizations plus DRM striking so fucking hard at the CPU?

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Devs will stop making remasters if you stop asking and buying them. Then again, which boatload of people were asking for a Crysis remaster?

It's Terminator Dark Fate all over again.

 

[Dacon]

Crysis deserves better than this fucking garbage.

Over ten years later the same CPU threading issues, LESS FEATURES, and trash console controls and input lag.

Crytek is fucking dead.

Which features are missing?

 

[Spukc]

Largely because that John and Alex visit Crytek HQ video from a few weeks back was filled with Digital Foundry dorklings claiming that the dynamic duo's presence alone would ensure that Crytek would get their act together and not repeat the mistakes made on the Switch port. Some even went as far as to say Crytek had brought them in to help ensure its overall quality.

And because they're amateurs moonlighting as revered technical experts.



Here's who you're fighting for.

Fucking donkeys

 

[Dacon]

Which features are missing?

You can no longer lean in the game, you cannot move diagonally in speed mode, you cannot simply press the space bar to perform a strength jump you must tap the key to do so, and because this is a console port there are visual effects missing from the game that were present in the original 2007 release. This makes some areas of the game look WORSE in the remaster than the original.

I might still like it then, sounds a bit like Dark Souls Remastered, as bad as that remaster was it's probably still my preferred way to experience the game now.

Literally the only thing people wanted out of a new release of Crysis was proper multi core support. That is it. The rest of the game can be exactly the same, just take advantage of modern CPU design. And they did all this other shit and didn’t do the one thing people care about.

 

[SkylineRKR]

Just when I shot a rocket into a watchtower the game crashed.

Its not even fun to play. Not much ammo, suit depletes fast and aiming sucks. On console that is.

They can barely make their current 'big' game function properly (Hunt Showdown, 500+ hours played atm btw, love it but boy is it a buggy and messy title) so I had no hope for their 'remaster' of Crysis.

If anything they increased the minimum performance requirements on PC. :/

Just got done watching the video and the original version of the game looks better in quite a few scenes. I'll wait until there's a deep discount/patches before I *possibly* jump in.

 

[Hostile_18]

I am loving the game but how did this pass testing

 

[TGO]

I sadly snapped this up straight away, looks and play's like shit.

 

[TGO]

Ok seems HDR fucks everything up, I disabled it and it looks a LOT better now

 

[MarkyG]

 

[SkylineRKR]

I asked for a refund. Do not buy this trash.

Its not fun, its not good, it looks like shit. I had more fun with even the PS3 port. I think it was less glitchy than this. But I'm done with this series.

This pc game made my brand new pc explode.
It killed my cat and started the second wave of corona. Do not buy this game.

Ai is just as shit on pc...I rolled into a camp and I found 2 soldiers running in a corner

there was no gay stuff going on so I put it down to a glitch

I later found a soldier tbagging a chicken

Maybe they were scared by your nanosuit?

 

[Darkmakaimura]

I heard Crysis on Switch is actually not-so-bad? Because I'd finally like to dive into this.

 

[LarknThe4th]

So they cheaped out....

Is actually pretty decent.

If you don't mind 20-25fps.

Battaglia probably created a botnet to pester Crytek for this.

For Switch is OK take into consideration the specs and comparing the Xbox 360/PS3 version this runs better.

Now, a PC running with a 3080 is other level.

 

[Demigod Mac]

The timing behind the Epic Games Store exclusivity deal for Crysis Remastered makes me wonder if they knew it was going to be a turd and the moneyhat option was deemed the only way to be profitable.

 

[renzolama]

Holding ADS is a limitation due to console controls? What a bizarre statement.

Also the Ascension level is missing because the developers "just do not like this level at all"? I laughed out loud.

"Hey guys, did you finish all the updating work on the levels?"
"Yeah except we decided not to do one of them because we just really don't like it at all"
"Okay, that's fine, as we discussed previously it's totally up to you to decide which parts of the game you want to include based on how much you like them"
