For years, the term “can Crysis run?” It was used as a benchmark to determine if a gaming PC was beastly enough to handle the game’s stunningly beautiful and cutting-edge graphics.
So when developer Crytek announced that it would release a remastered version of the first Crysis game, fans immediately started preparing their graphics cards ahead of time.
Unfortunately, that enthusiasm has completely stopped, with a leaked trailer for Crysis Remastered revealing that the game doesn’t look all that different from the version that’s been available for the past 13 years.
“It looks like original Crysis but with the lowest settings,” reads a user’s comment below the YouTube video, while other users were quick to point out that a modified version of the original game already looks much better than what is shown on progress .
While it was reported a few days ago that Crysis Remastered might come sooner than you think, negative protest from fans has now made the Germany-based studio not only confirm that the disappointing trailer is real, but also delay the release. of the game a few weeks.
In its official statement, Crytek noted that “it has seen all the reactions, the good and the bad, and we are listening,” further claiming that “it is still working on a number of things in the game, as well as in the store.” .
He continued: “This extra time until launch will allow us to bring Crysis Remastered up to the standard of PC and console you expect from Crysis games.”
Admittedly, we have to wonder if a few additional weeks of polishing will be enough for the game to unfold, especially with a Nintendo Switch port of the game also launching at the same time.
