Nintendo Switch most powerful console confirmed!

Damn, it can run Crysis!

 

[StormCell]

Well I guess this solidifies that I'm doing a new build sometime in the next 12 months.

 

[drganon]

Never played it back in the day. Might try it out now.

 

[LostDonkey]

Raytracing on consoles?

 

[Gargus]

i never really played the original that much, i'm probabyl gonna give it a try when it's gonna cost 10 dollars.

I'll grab it when it's 10 also.

I played it back when it originally came out and it was a solid game but nothing that special really. It gained a lot of popularity as a "game that will punish even the most powerful computers" but in reality it was just really poorly optimized as a couple of unofficial patches made the game run great. It was a pretty game for its time but overall it wasn't anything really special. The sequel was garbage.

There is a reason why crysis never became a big franchise. And why barely anyone used the crysis engine in their games.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

I’ll definitely buy it, but I can’t help but feel like this late in the gen, I would have rather they just waited and put it out on PS5/XsX

It probably will, I'm guessing they will crank up the ray tracing elements for next gen consoles

I actually preferred the seamless power transition on consoles way more than PC's static switch, the console version had more in common gameplay-wise with the original trailer of the game, which is what made me get the game in the first place:

I admit it's been quite some time since I played Crysis, but from what I remember you could pull off that finesse in the PC version with relative ease. I imagine one of the reasons they simplified it is because it might be harder to pull off such feats with a controller, as well as having to compensate for the lower framerate of the consoles.

Also, didn't the streamlined powers originate in Crysis 2? I vaguely remember that, but I can't say for sure.. probably because I purged the awful sequels from my mind.

 

[rofif]

Multithreading alone should make it perform like a normal game

 

[SALMORE]

Curious to see how it turns on the Switch

 

[Nymphae]

Fuck yeah, sold. I really enjoyed playing 2 but missed out on 1.

 

[JimboJones]

Original developers probably thought we'd be all on 10GHz processors by now lol

[Danny Dudekisser]

Can't shake the feeling that somehow, there will be visual compromises vs the original version.... even though that doesn't really make logical sense.

Anyway, that's cool. Crysis was a fun game. I don't think it's as good as the original Far Cry, or Crysis Warhead, but it's still fun. The biggest issue is that they give you almost no opportunity to use your suit powers, because your energy runs out almost immediately. And you walk too damn slow for a supposed super-soldier.

But it's pretty.

 

[Turk1993]

So these where really screenshots of the remaster that was featured in the Cryengine trailer months ago, ( Crysis 1 was looking soo good that the remaster looks next gen )

 

[Mista]

Updated OP with a trailer. Again, nothing is official yet and its just a matter of time now.

 

[Kamina]

Why not save it for PS5/XBSX to display it with all bells and whistles?

 

[mcjmetroid]

Christ imagine the switch version

 

[deriks]

Interested to see how original PC version and this new PC version differ.

They need to change stuff because Crysis was made for single-core in mind. If they don't do it, why bother?

 

[Fbh]

Nice, might give it a try. Played it years ago at a friend's house (the only person I knew that had a PC that could run it). But I'd give it another go.

Why not save it for PS5/XBSX to display it with all bells and whistles?

I imagine because there aren't 150+ million PS5/XBSX out there

 

[Fake]

Who is saying PS5/seX will not get?
PC version will get RT, remember?

 

[Mr. PlayStation]

Have never played the original, did experience it on a buddy's PC back in 2008, looked great but just couldn't experience it properly. Years later the game was remastered on PS3 but looked shoddy and ran bad. How much would this remaster improve? Any thoughts? Asking for the PS4 version

 

[Romulus]

4k 30fps with dips on the enchanced consoles lol

 

[Inuteu]

I hope is native 4k on the X and upgradable to ray tracing on the series X

 

[LordOfChaos]

Hope this leads to a new title for next gen

 

[Gp1]

i never really played the original that much

It's the best of the series hands down.

Modded crysis 1 still beautiful today. And at least it will run 60 fps on pc.z

 

[Portugeezer]

Of course it can!

Spoiler

At 320p.

Spoiler

At lower than Lowest.

Spoiler

At 24FPS.

Damn, that's better than most people experienced back in 2007.

 

[Portugeezer]

 

[01011001]

if they really wanna push hardware to the limit they will add a 1080p30fps mode on One X with raytracing enabled. because the One X should have no issue running their Cryengine RT tech at 1080p30. that Neon Noir demo runs at ~1080p60 on a GTX1070 after all

 

[MadAnon]

If this is how it will look then they can keep that "remaster". No interest in just a reskin of old assets.

 

[jackets with pockets]

 

[MadAnon]

Those are completely different assets. They are not remaking the game.

 

[Blond]

If PS360 can, Switch sure can too.

It could not. It had to be rebuilt using Cryengine 3, and I'm sure that's what we're getting here.

Read all my previous posts.

 

[Shakka43]

I finally bought the game like three weeks ago, I'll wait for this new release but if the remaster isn't anything substantial like the Activision ones then I'd just play the original.

 

[darkinstinct]

I hope is native 4k on the X and upgradable to ray tracing on the series X

It's Crytek and EA. There will be a next gen version, but it's not going to be a free update.

 

[01011001]

I bet it will be a free update it they port it over to next gen. EA can't start the generation looking like asshats right from the get-go, bad PR

 

[turntablekeepsonspinning]

MAXIMUM ARMOR.
FUCKING HYPE LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Quite suspect the remaster won't be much to write home over, but at least it will exist for those who have the time to bother.

I may go back and platinum it, I never got around to adding the original to my trophy pile on PS3 because it never went on sale and lolPS3 post-2013.

 

[Codes 208]

Pretty sure this is an unpopular opinion but...i actually prefer crysis 2 over 1

 

[turntablekeepsonspinning]

Remastered version coming out means that multiplayer is coming back i hope HYPE.

 

[Mobilemofo]

To be honest, this hardware never fails to impress me. The Switch library is filled with "Impossible ports", The Witcher 3 being the most impressive one. A decent Crysis port, handled by the right team, is not completely out of the ordinary.

Just prepare for visual cutbacks.

 

[Mista]

 

[TwoDurans]

I look forward to seeing the single digit framerate in action on the Switch.

 

[stranno]

This is the video that sold me Crysis back in the day.

 

[Mista]

Updated OP with official trailer

 

[FlyyGOD]

Uncapped framerate and variable resolution I hope .

 

[MORJDK]

Will double dip on switch version for sure.

 

[rofif]

Bad quality twitter video,
SLAP ON Remaster
Coming Soon

It's a remaster aight

 

[Saber]

I was about to show that, thank you.

That didn't stop Switch owners to force port begging in the twitter though.
