Crysis remastered

Bad news: still doesn't scale well across more cores, and the highest settings are 30FPS on the fastest system available. Also check-points only. This was absolute garbage in Far Cry so their decision is baffling.

 
Seems like a pretty poor remaster, at least so far. Really need multiple platforms available, like steam and origin, plus Vulkan would make sense.
 
Glad I beat both Crysis and Warhead recently.

Ran like butter on max settings, still looked great, and I got the complete experience.
 
In the distant mountains it's a bit faded and not so detailed but I'm in the first day time level. I think as I remember the original many years ago the next one or two daytime maps have a longer detailed view distance for the far mountains?
 
Sounds like it still has a lot of issues.

The game itself is far from perfect though, I recently replayed Far Cry 2 on the infamous difficulty and found it to be way more enjoyable as a whole game, even with many FC2 shortcomings itself.

Yet still, the original Crysis was still superior to its later installments, imo.

I greatly enjoyed the limited destructibility and physics of both games immensely. I don’t care about story as long as the world around at least tries to be believable.

As Far Cry franchise is now owned by Ubisoft I have zero enthusiasm for a remaster, Ubisoft will butcher it beyond belief with regenerating health, collectables, radio towers, the usual copy paste template they got for all their recent games.

If they somehow let Crytek work on it I still wouldn't expect much seeing how this turned out.

The ideal time for a remaster was shortly after Crysis releasing in 2007, however Ubisoft owning the rights and splitting with Cyrtek put an axe to that.
 
I wouldn't play a remaster even if it was made by Crytek. Crysis 2 wasn't very good and started incorporating the EA hand-holding bullshit and Crysis 3 was just flat out garbage. Give us Crysis 4 but do it right and **** off with all these remakes and remasters. I feel like this is what happens when kids grow up and take the wheel - they just want to relive the nostalgia and instead of taking what they found fun as a kid and expand upon it to make newer and better games, they just said "screw it, lets just take the same game and make it again!".

Then again, I guess it's given me plenty of time to go through my immense backlog. I think in the last four years, there's only three or four games that have come out that I really want to play. Everything else has just been remasters or remakes of games I played 20 years ago.
