The answer to the question, in my case, is absolutely not. But that's what I get for running an ancient FX based APU I'm afraid lol

Same here - just nope

Heh, nobody said Crysis looks bad and needs a remaster... ;-D

Perhaps an updated question needs breaking in:

"Can it ray-trace Crysis?"

:naughty:

The game was only just ok years and years ago when it launched. It's not going to be any better now, even if they have managed to finally sort out the abysmal optimisation.

Maximum PoWA !!!!! Engage PC burning Mode !

That poor optimisation might be intentional, the games' beasty requirements being part of the marketing and adding to the hype...

Conspiracy theories?

Probably cheaper than making a new game..

That neon noir is very puurty on my ultra wide

I think this is one of history's most poor ever optimized games for anything on the GFX front, and that is enough said, and it is also why the meme is really pointless about 'can it run crysis'

I didn't think it was that bad, but it did get a bit "rinse and repeat" after a while. A bit more thought and some of those levels could have been something epic

It was a game ahead of its time that's for sure, the Graphical fidelity was a combination of things that gave it the 'Wow' factor when it came out, The physic's of moving objects, the facial rendering. The tree/ water movement
it all added to making an immersive experience and thats what gamers wanted at the time. In many ways this was an inspiration for many developers including DICE to get to this quality of work in the Battlefield series. I had to wait 2 generations of GPU until i could play Crysis, in all its glory before the PC was in Flames lol - But boy`it was worth it.

Just checked out this review from Nov 2007 ! - good times.

Talking about remasters - I really Hope Bioware do a good Job on Mass effect.
I would rather prefer they do a ReMake of Mass effect with a recent engine, than a remaster.

Gotta hope they’ll make a better job of that than they did with "Anthem". That was one seriously dull game that definitely failed to deliver.

The main thing is the original was meant to cripple PCs with future hardware catching up, if processors kept upping the frequencies rather than cores and the had 15ghz dual cores the original would run like a dream.

It makes sense to optimise it for current hardware, as an owner of the original it will need to either be free or cheap for me to get this.

Wow. Stunned at the lack of love for this. Maybe it only struck a chord with me when it launched.
Sure, it went a bit "off-piste" when the story moved away from the Far-Cry model and introduced the cyph, but up to that point, I thought it was a beautiful, really well structured and enjoyable game. I'd have loved it if it had more of the first levels where you were figthing aainst the human invaders to get to the artifact.

Really looking forward to seeing this on my 4k screen, especially when my 2080ti comes :)

Agreed, but some of those weren't as expansive /OW as they could have been so felt a bit linear.

The original Crysis wasn't poorly optimised on the GPU side,but more CPU limited:

Crytek actually dialed back certain aspects of the game to make it run better. Also have people noticed how the Ceph in the original game fly about? Then newer ones they walk about. This is because in the original game they used different AI models,whereas in newer games you tend to have walking enemies so they can re-use the human NPC models.

Nonsense, it was a very good game back then and its still pretty damn good in 2020 and one that I still play through now and again. Yes, the latter part of the game isn't so good at the start/middle but overall it's still great fun to play.
