Before this remaster, there was a vid showing original Crysis was running in ray-tracing. This remaster not having ray-tracing would make this remaster pointless and the original has aged well.
Oh, hey, thanks for uploading the comparisons. I was asleep so I couldn't do it.

Not really. Actually it looks cartoony compared to the original. The vanilla PC version still looks more realistic, at least according to these early comparison screens. First one is remaster. Second... original.
Don't know why everyone was getting hyped for it so much. Nintendo Switch logo was already a red flag. It was targeted for lowest common denominator. Besides, Crytek ain't even same company anymore. Talented folks left the company years ago. The only good thing we can expect from it is better optimization and optional/tacked on Ray Tracing.
Im getting the impression they remastered the PS3/360 version that they ported over to CE2 and not the original PC version. These screenshots look like Farcry 1. Expect the stupid console suit mechanics on the PC version too.
Well the video was low quality, but either way it's all a bit underwhelming. Like pretty much all remasters.
Should have gone for a remake, but Crytek is not really about hard work and quality these days, just cash. Looks like they even outsourced the work to another studio.
I might just stick with the original with modifications for now, though if this can be modded I can see people doing some good things.
Eh, they've ported so many games from PC, mobile, and past consoles, this is just one more to the pile. Not going to complain, there's dumber and more pointless ports than this. Especially mobile games. At least this is a modern AAA game that should hold up pretty well. It's actually surprising they took this long.
Even if this is just vanilla crysis, At least console versions (except switch) should finally run it at a decent frame-rate. The PS3/360 were such a joke because they were running in the 20's, same with Crysis II for that matter. The frame-rates made them especially unplayable.
Wasn't expecting much from this. It was a focus on consoles that killed the franchise, and it was clear from the beginning this was a console-centric remaster. I swear the original Crysis maxed out on PC looked better than those remastered screens. The colours look off, and the vegetation looks flat with the lack of shadows.

I think that's confirmed, the CE2 version was the basis for this remaster.

Looks like it can be a different tod but the last shot, the remaster has too much bloom.
On the first pic, the foliage is heavily reduced and shadow lod on the distance took a massive downturn.

Yeah.... In first comparison, we can clearly see there is reduced foliage. In second, grunge maps are totally missing. Beach looks flat and even textures close to grass looked washed out. In third comparison, whole ground looks flat and early last gen stuff. Next to no bump maps.

Water also looks very different. Don't know if better. It's more thicker and wavy on the new one but seems higher texture but calmer on the old one.
@rzxv04: Seems like it lacks reflections. Plus direction of lighting it different, as you can see from shadows in second comparison. May be that's what making it look different too. Plus intensity and choice of colors/temperature.
Could very well be that it's an upgraded version of the downgraded console version. I wonder if that VTOL level will be in, since that was cut from the console release. And to be honest, that mission was lame, but still.

Are these screenshots proven to be legit PC version though? The gameplay scenes from the trailer look better than these SS's. However just the upgrade in engine from Cryengine 2 to 5 would have made a large difference in lighting even if they didn't touch anything. Either way I'd play the wait n see game first before passing judgement.
However the game itself originally wasn't that great. The story was fucked, the A.i. wasn't anything special and the sequels fucked the storyline up even more. The game was pretty fun up until the aliens...then it sucked. However in the sequel the aliens went from flying around in octopus machines to running around on the ground, how stupid is that? Air superiority!!!!...stupid Crytek
I give credit to Crytek for delaying reveal and release, but they have their work cut out to make this approchable. Sell it at $20-30, and they might be good, but reactions have been a bit "meh."

Might pirate.
PC gamers don't need to pirate remasters, they get them for free.
Unless they pull some lame move like putting it on the epic store, and charging full price again.
Anyhoooooow, I liked the VTOL mission lol. I'm not a huge fan of the console version.
I just want the PC version with slightly better performance, better colors and that new cloak mode texture on the SCAR looks cool.

Water is a lot better to me at least. We already seen better water in GTAV on PS3/360 and most modern games did water/ocean justice like Sea of Thieves or Ass Creed Odyssey.
Crytek desmonstrates us how not to make a remaster, and why remasters shouldn't exist. You want to rerelease a game that you've already sold? Alright, do a remake, and be ready to invest some time and moolah.
Crytek was always trash. They made games that looked phenomenal for their time but had shit gameplay.
Disagree on that Crysis was great especially in the early levels throwing shit at the human enemies never got old like throwing a dumpster at them or throwing them through a roof being creative is the key.

That's what I'm worried about. I just want this game to run better, but I'm not paying for it. I already own this game twice on PC and on Xbox360, so I won't feel guilty. And it's EA.

This time Crytek is publishing and Saber is developing.
We would like to share an important update with you all! pic.twitter.com/ylu0OisDf3

No EA logo, so I hope EA has nothing to do with this.
Also I really wish Crytek would make another Ryse :(
@R4gn4r0k: Ouch. Saber is bad news. Hope they can pull it off. And yeah, wouldn't mind seeing a game based off of Roman history. RTS games are fine and all, but I want something more boots on the ground, me in the action. I've been replaying Shadow of Rome just to feed that urge a bit.
@davillain-: The poor AI knowing where you are at all times once alerted shooting you through trees and across the map and bland level design was always the downfall of this game.One thing crysis 2 did better was the climbing feature and simplified less clumsy nano suit design.
I would only care about this remake if they used crysis 2 style nanotsuit, which improved the flow of the gameplay and added the climb mechanic.What's really a shame that nightmare creatures remake got put on hold or cancelled now that's a game that truely deserved a remake.I would rather have a crysis 4 tbh tho.
Duke nukem zerohour n64 and duke nukem time to kill ps1 are more deserving of remakes also.
Funny i was playing half life 2 deathmatch awhile back and the people running the server had duke nukem time to kill ''present'' soundtrack playing on the server.

I'm not sure. Though I would've liked Crytek handling the Crysis series exclusively, I'm not sure in what capability they still are to make games...
Saber is ... alright I guess. I was impressed with their engine in WWZ. The game rendered hundreds and thousands of zombies on screen, all animated and the performance was excellent.
Talking of which, I'm gonna play some Ryse right now. Since you have me on steam, check out some of my 4K screenshots :D

Unless I'm completely mistaken, the German government funds them. Some program for creators, although you can't have the manpower of a triple A studio and whatnot. It's how Uwe Boll made so many movies.
I'll know for sure it's Saber when they're throwing hundreds of Koreans at us. And yeah, looked at the screens. Nice, nice. 10 years from now, that game will still look great. Will replay again somewhere in the future.

Hundreds of koreans with fluid WWZ zombie physics?
Hmmm, could be entertaining. And a true technical showcase like Crysis and its thousand red barrels test.
I think people were expecting a remake, not a remaster. Graphically speaking, remasters make old games look sharper, remakes make old games look better.
@IMAHAPYHIPPO: correct. some person said dlss was not down scal/upscaling.... that what its doing to assets. person on reddit just keep reply back t me....
I mean ... back in the day no gaming rig could play Crysis on max ... so i bet they are only releasing the game again to see if we are finally catching up with them.
I just started playing Crysis 2 on PC again. Wow, this game suffers from some serious consolitis. It looks so dated and half-ass. Doesn't even have FOV option.
@BassMan: The gameplay is alot more tighter than crysis 1/warhead.crysis 1/warhead feel dated with no climbing mechanic, the only thing truely dumbed down was the size of the vehicle levels.
The deathmatch mode on crysis 2 was alot better also.
It's funny how all these modern fps games all copied crysis 2's climbing mechanic lol.
I actually thought crysis on xbox360 looks pretty good the HDR/BLOOM was alot better than the pc version, but it had alot less folitage and lower res textures.
call of duty had like chest high wall vaulting and in 2011 crysis 2 took that to the next level where you could double jump and grab onto very large walls and games have been copying crysis 2's wall climbing feature since.
