    I can't rep you again untill I rep other people..

    I think that is it, crysis remastered will be using cryengine 5 and it shows what it will look like in the video, not as good as I thought but its light years beyond anything we currently have but its not the same as the cutting edge factor of crysis 1. I think I'll be able to mix high with ultra and low shadows no AA and get 45fps with my gtx 1060 as I can max out shadow of the tomb raider and get 56fps average at 1080p with TAA.

    honestly Think Ill be able replay crysis remastered again and again for years to come I just hope the hit box and aim is identical to crysis warhead with the bow included. and mods will be insane.

    Very exciting times indeed

    As you can see in the pictures I have aa set to 16x and transparancy on with high quality ssao with all veryhigh settings. Im averaging over 70 and it ranges from 60-120 fps but thats fine as I have a 60hz display. the point is, this is running as fast as a 980ti on a overclocked 1060 6gb laptop gpu from like 3 years ago. if crysis remastered releases sooner than later we should see a significant upgrade in visuals and it will run on anything gtx 980 and up...but there will be no need for 16x AA as it's pointless and true maxing is really stupid as tweaking the settings and getting your screens refreshrate fps with 1 percent lows above it...I highly doubt i'll be running ultra but I'm so excited for this as I know crytek has something special for us...

    It's going to be a tier or two more demanding than this for sure. As it stands this is only as demanding as apex legends.

    I'd expect it to be at least like metro exodus if not more demanding.

    So on my desktop, it seems I can't run 1920x1080 resolution while in fullscreen mode, just in windowed. Anyone got any idea?

    I think its going to be more demanding than metro exodus because the graphics will look better in every aspect

    Thanks, its unfortunate that such particular glitches/issues exist with this game. Even more so because I remember playing it without these issues several years back. Then again the last time I played it to completion was with my HD5870 Mobility radeon. I could do 1080p high settings at 30+fps easily.

    Then I encountered the issues with 24fps, now being unable to run in full screen hahaha. Such is life :) But this is why the remastered version is welcome!

    yeah I agree even if they double the demand for gpu in remastered this should still run at 60 fps mixed high medium ultra... here's crysis 1 running all veryhigh with shadows/draw/shaders on high and im averaging 160fps with a i7 8750h and gtx 1060 overclocked..

    [​IMG]
    this game is very well optimised as the only game that comes close visually is wildlands and rdr2 and with that im getting 40-50fps optimised settings....so yeah it's unreal how good crytek is at making games futuristic

    imagine if crysis remastered was only as demanding as the witcher 3

    [​IMG]

    that was fully 8aa maxed averaging 49fps with a 1060....imagine if we saw similar textures but with ray tracing on the software level....man I'm excited....it literally is my favorite game and I have been playing it 1 hour a day for 12 years...

    It certainly says allot about how advanced cryteks engine was when released in 2007.
    When I just stop and look around in crysis it is very photo realistic and feel like I'm actually in a jungle.

    i have a gtx 1060 you have a 1080 and your scoring double what I get...why/ you should be able to do 1080p for a long long long time.

    yeah do you guys remember the 5870 days? what A time in gaming it was like that card could run a time machine

    if crytek makes this as demanding as crysis 1 basically a 2080ti on high then we have a winner

    oh wow, now i'm excited. july 23rd and a reveal in 25 hours...oh dude do I hope it looks like a game from 2032. I wonder what crytek can do with todays tech and wonder if their is simply to many limits to the old engine or if they are using the new cry engine 4

    thats a reshade.....And not a leak of crysis remastered....textures are worse and crytek has never done that with their games....heck halo 5 has better textures and I doubt crytek won't beat them in that area also crytek promised ray tracing and those pictures don't show ray tracing.



    watch above in 25 hours for the real factual comparisons

    heres the apparently leaked trailer but I think it's fake





    edit. also one or two people spotted they have identical assets so no this is not a leak rather a fake.

    @Mr. Fox @jc_denton what do you guys think....this will be disappointing for me if it does end up being a leak and crytek simply catered to the switch vs PC...but then I thought I read somewhere they were adding raytracing...with updated textures and ray tracing that would mean this would be the best looking game of 2020 and with that leak it looks like a rookie mod...surely crytek would not do this...remember crysis 3, they made that the best looking game for a decade well not quite but it still technically is the best looking game and it was released in 2013. Like im super hoping crytek did not do this to us.


    little update 2 more hours anyone else crossing fingers

    dude they pulled it one hour away.....it was all fake

    if not I say it looks alot better in some scenes than in others...The images from above the ocean looked insane and the colors look cartoony but nicer and more pleasing to look at.

    I have an off topic post as I don't want to create a new thread, bascially im trying to tweak my gpu (1060) to get the best performance possible for crysis but for some reason afterburner says my core clocks are not going poast 1775mhz and should be around 2000mhz with the overclock, I'm a rookie to pascal and would not mind help in how to properly overclock to get the best performance possible. here is a picture of valley on the extreme hd setting and yes 66fps isn't bad but a far cry from the 80 everyone else is getting whilst overclocked


    [​IMG]


    edit I guess that was a leak disappointing....damn crytek I will never buy their games again

    Officially announce a delay in release, before officially announcing a release date.

    That's a new strategy.

    So I read cryteks official response...It is not what everyone wants, so I'm not going to hold my breath...If they can update all textures and add new graphical features in a couple weeks power to them but it's highly unlikely. so for now its blackfires mod and hd textures pak for now.

    yeah im not sure, I just like blackfires mod because it does different time of days and looks drastically different. I think the hd textures are good to excellent and the maxium imersion mod is also good....it's just that I expected the raw game to look alot better with cryteks go at things...no way a 13 yearold kid alone should be able to better than the crytek team...

    They put Switch in there, that alone was a red flag to me. Still I had thought that their earlier Cry Engine demo of 5.6 where they showed the same island from Crysis was the level of remaster, everyone was expecting the same because it's Crytek and their reputation. Plus their teaser also ends with Nanosuit supersolider seeing back like how it used to be which was again matching the same art style of that engine demo. Bam the MS store trailer leaks and screenshots came, and the game reeks of boosted saturation and using X360 assets, reduced foliage, downgraded textures with some new lighting and software ray-tracing. Also changed art direction.

    They should have said no to that Switch (an ARM processor) or PS4/XB1 (these are having processors slower than Q6600 damn it remember Crytek bet on 10GHz masterrace) and put only PCs or Next gen consoles and released it DRM free, in this age we lack games which are made by dedication, the big tech is always pushing some agenda on their platforms (games) this would have been a sleeper hit. But Crytek chose other way, they wanted quick cash grab from that Switch audience, where they will instantly buy because it's portable and the hyped press as well for the Console normie crowd. Even with the polish or whatever they want to do, I refuse to believe now it is going to be any good from what we saw, it's a disaster. I think all the developers and artists from original Crysis trilogy left since their closure of many studios in EU still that small hope was left in me.

    A shame, so unfortunate that every single game we play have to be first stamped on console then PC, only few made it to PC only and Crysis was the shining star of all.

    Blackfire Mod and Crysis GOG release it is then.

    What did people expect, from the company that sold out the design philosophies of Crysis 1, to chase the console market with the extremely streamlined Crysis 2? How did that end up last time? Crysis 2 was a flop.

    Of course they are going to do the same all over again, and end in failure, again.

    They should have started with PC version and worked their way down.

    I feel like they started with Switch version and worked their way up LOL

    You can blame the fallout over the original Crysis for that. Crysis was the last great bastion of PC elitism, the last true cutting-edge exclusive built from the ground up for the platform. But the rampant piracy and cries of unoptimization surrounding it made publishers wary of PC exclusives in the future.

    yeah pc master race is over.....pcs still have the advantage of high framerates and mods...like i was done with gta v a long time ago and after installing script hook and a graphics mod im back at it and I won't lie its something else something no console can touch.....but that is not enough for the pc master race

    I'm just dictating with my phone right now but hopefully it comes out half-decent and cogent I was thinking with the mods the photorealistic mod or Blackfires mod looks absolutely incredible I kid you not it looks absolutely amazing and nothing even comes close to it so if you want the best crisis nevermind crisis remastered simply mod the game

    The PS5 is reportedly PlayStation's last console. They plan to switch to a service based business model after the PS5.

    So games will either stagnate in terms of graphics or be so demanding that only high end gaming pcs are feasible.

    I'll believe it when I see it. They said that about the PS4 as well, but this generation showed that the traditional home console paradigm is very much alive and kicking.

    I mean when games are able to look photorealistic then what. Like we all know in the near future we will be playing photorealistic games on our phones ..desktops as we know it will be dead as they will eventually be the size of a micro SD card ect...but that is still 10-20 years off.....heck I remember telling people we would be soon gaming in 4k and everyone said we were 10 years away...ERM uh um 6 months later we were doing 4k ultra 30 fps and now framerates are over 100 2 years later..

    The only Crysis game I played was 2, and I disliked it, a lot. It was a type of FPS game I dislike (spunkgargleweeewee). I should play 1 though, considering I own all of them except for 3, but it's just so low in my game priority list...

    Yuppers, that's what it has been reduced to. We can always count on the lowest common denominators and bottom-feeders to ruin things for those with higher standards. It really sucks that we always get dragged down instead of them being left with no option except to rise up and aspire to something better. After a while, they honestly believe 99¢ Big Macs are better than a juicy ribeye... then the next thing you know, all the rest of us are left with is garbage from under the golden arches that the dumb-dumbs think is so yummy. I'm sure they'll also expect free (i.e. meaning somebody else should foot the bill) treatment of abdominal cancer the Big Macs caused and free surgery to fix the RSI problems that their handheld portable trash and console controller feces are going to cause for them. But, as long as everyone stays at home and wears a mask everything is going to be just peachy. :vbwink: Everyone gets a trophy for meeting minimum system requirements. Yay.

    But, yeah... Crysis is going to look so damned sweet on a crappy television as well as that 6-inch 720p screen on the Switch. Yay.

    This is how we ended up with disposable thin and light BGA turdbooks being viewed as OK and normal. A little bit of leaven... Now we're starting phase two of the digital lobotomy.

    If this new release isn't like half life alyx in terms of be activity in vr or flat out doesn't support vr....I'm not buying it....game development should always be an improvement over the previous version...and since all new games are garbage in terms of fun factor they should all incorporate vr..no reason not to...it's the next step and should not be overlooked

    I have never really understood the interest in VR. It has always struck me as being kind of a geeky sci-fi novelty.

    Seeing that the Switch release is pretty much using the PS3/X360 build with global illumination added gives me some hope for the PC version.

    How does it give hope? The PS360 build has downgraded visuals compared to the original PC release (same differences that were noted in the leaked comparisons earlier), a simplified Nanosuit control scheme, and is missing the Ascension level entirely. Seems a lot to be giving up for better multi-threading/frame rates.

    Because that may mean the actual PC Remaster wasn't hindered by the Switch port, as was initially feared.

    Seems like quite a leap of faith there, but okay.

    Well, I think part of the excitement that is going to be potentially lost on Crysis fans is the possibility that a revolutionary and historical masterpiece has been dumbed down to accommodate anemic trash toys like a Switch (or any console for that matter). I hold the concept or that being an important consideration in contempt.

    One of the things that made Crysis amazing and extremely famous is the fact that it was designed for high-end PCs and taxed their abilities pretty severely, and even 13 years later still requires some fairly significant resources to run with maxed-out settings. Its viability for use on a console was never contemplated. If this new Remastered version doesn't do that anymore, and it is missing chapters for some silly reason, it's going to lose the attraction of people like me who were very excited about it. Now I am really apprehensive that it might not be anything worth being excited about.

    I don't really give a rat's butt about it being the best-looking Switch game because I don't give a rat's butt about consoles... especially a crappy little handheld toy. I know the world doesn't revolve around me, and that's fine. I can vote no with my wallet, as I often do, but it's terribly disappointing to think that they might be turning something that used to be awesome into a piece of crap just to make console jockeys happy. Now, if it has the scalability in graphic control settings to bring a monster PC to its knees, and it looks good, then I will still be pleased. But, leaving out chapters like Ascension and turdifying Nanosuit control makes it sounds like it's got the potential to be a suckfest.
