It shouldn’t be surprising that a 13-year-old video game can run on a new console, but somehow it’s a surreal experience to watch a butter-smooth Crysis game on the Nintendo Switch.
This might be going out on myself, but I remember buying a pretty expensive gaming PC the year after Crysis came out, and it was the latest tech demo. In addition to being a fun game, it was the most engaging game I’d ever played, and even my new gaming rig was shaking before its majesty. Now, a remastered version can be seen working at what looks like a solid 30fps on the mobile Switch, arguably the weakest console of the generation in terms of processing power.
Crytek says the following technology enhancements are coming to Crysis Remastered on Switch: “high-quality textures, global illumination (SVOGI), vegetation flex, optimized dynamic light settings, dynamic resolution, gyroscopic aim, motion blur, blooming ( light rays and sun rays) “. That may or may not be exciting for you depending on your understanding of tech lingo, but all those fancy terms add up to what seems like a very impressive engineering feat on the brave Nintendo Switch.
Crysis Remastered will launch on Switch on July 23, though it has been delayed on PC, PS4, and Xbox One after a recent game leak and some negative comments from the community. The study says the delay will give them time to “get Crysis Remastered up to par with the PC and console you expect from Crysis games.”
These are the best switch games You can play right now.
