As a trailer for Crysis Remastered leaked online in July, fans criticized the game’s graphics because they looked far too much like the originals of more than 10 years ago. But today, Crytek has released a new trailer that shows drastic improvements to the game’s visuals, and it announced the remaster will come to multiple platforms next month.
Crysis Remastered will now launch on the PS4, Xbox One, and Epic Games Store on September 18 for $ 30. In July, following a backlash from fans, Crytek announced that it would be delaying these versions of the game by several weeks. Crytek acknowledged the leaked trailer in their announcement for delay and promised to use the extra time ” Crysis Remastered up to the PC and console-breaking standard you expected from a Crysis match. “
The latest trailer shows a side-by-side comparison of the remastered version and the 2007 original. The remaster’s new graphics look great so far: there are reflections in the water, and there is more detail and color in some of the lush areas in the game to make it less dark and gray. The trailer also shows some of the new features of the remaster, including better lighting effects, ray tracing, and more detail in the textures with up to 8K resolution. While I felt that was the trailer te in short, it seems promising. However, I will not be satisfied until I see how it runs on my PC.
Crysis originally launched in 2007 on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. After its release, the game was praised for its graphic fidelity. Even 10 years later, the excessive demands of hardware on the game remain a mother in the gaming community and a benchmark for gamers who want to see how powerful their PC builds are.
Crysis Remastered launched on the Switch in July. (Shockingly, yes, Nintendo’s hybrid gaming system may actually run Crysis.) While it certainly will not wow a visual wow, I was under the impression that Crytek managed to make a version on a console with weaker hardware compared to its competitors. Still, there are a few trade-offs like that Digital Foundry pointed out, as random drops in resolution to 540p or lower, plus detail on materials and surfaces are returned.
