Here's A Look At The Crysis Remastered Trilogy On Xbox Series X, Coming Fall 2021

Might just be me, but I prefer the look of the original 🤷‍♂️

@DDJT It almost looks like there's "less" in the remaster. Less foliage, less geometry... I wonder if by "remaster" they mean "hiding more behind fog and rain."

Crysis finally achieved them N64 visuals!

Series X looks better but the 360 holds up extremely well in the comparasion when you consider the tech difference...

From assault rifle to pistol? Looks like a downgrade to me...

@DDJT I'd rather see video comparison. Screenshots rarely tell the whole story.

I think someone was meant to link this in the article and just forgot.

New generation, brand new Crysis game would have been much appreciated.
But it’s 2021 the year of the remaster of the remaster, we aren’t allowed to many new games this year, or last year come to think of it.
God knows what 2022 will bring.
Perhaps we can have this 2020/2021 remasters remastered 😂

@The_New_Butler while I personally loved Crysis 2, I’d venture to say if you don’t like the original you likely won’t like 2. I played 2 before the original and thought it was a more entertaining game, but I know I’m in the minority on that one.

I recently picked up the original crisis remastered on switch and was pretty impressed by the port. I don’t know that I want it on my series x though since I already have more than enough FPS over there to play.

'Dynamic Resolution between 1080p and 4K at up to 60 fps'.

ON THE SERIES X!
Wow, Cryengine is still kicking hardware's ass in 2021.

I would rather take a remaster of Ryse Son of Rome.

@The_New_Butler you’re welcome, glad to help!

Okay, so the very end of this trailer says "Xbox" and then "Also plays well on the Series S/X"

So this is an Xbox One game, just running in back compat? That would explain a few things.

@The_New_Butler I absolutely HATED Crysis 1 at first when I played in 2008 but ended up enjoying it a lot more when I switched to the hardest difficulty. You have to reeeally make use of your powers and the environment/physics, which means you can't just run through the game with guns blazing.

It really shines at that point, and has given me lots of really unique moments, like using super speed to rush a group of enemies, grab one, speed away into the bushes while being shot at, and then tossing the enemy I grabbed off of a cliff. Or using super strength to jump on top of a shed, punch a hole in the roof, and kill the enemy inside. The sandbox levels are really fun to just mess around in, IMHO. Maybe give it another try?

@stinkyx I know exactly what you mean, one of the best gaming moments I’ve had was in Crysis 2 taking out enemies using stealth at the church. That level design was so masterfully done and complimented the powers so well. I had such a great time with it that I still remember the feeling I had after getting through it.

Why not make a new Crysis game vs a remaster? I'm personally not a fan of remasters so I'll never be in board. I guess this might bring new generation players into the fold and then they might make a new one? It's mostly just a cash grab, trying to see some positives but a remaster is just a cash grab.

Crysis 1 has some of the worst enemy AI I've ever seen in a game it's completely broken at times. It goes from aimbot to idiot with nothing in between. Absolutely hilarious.

For me I always compare it to time shift if anyone played that?
Will people who already own the first game remastered have to buy it again?

@stinkyx I totally agree. I think the argument actually extends to most games; play them on the hardest difficulties you can. Challenge yourself and gain the satisfaction of beating the game. I accept that there is a certain level of gratification in simply being a God in a game, and just crushing all before you. However, the real fun is in knowing that you are meeting the challenge set for you by the Developers. Beating the game on the hardest difficulty and seeing that 0.1% achievement pop is immensely gratifying.
