DF: Crysis Remastered Xbox Series S/X patch

Summary

• Three modes, Quality, Performance and Ray-tracing
• Lots of new and fixed visual tweaks
• Missing some graphics fixes from PC version, specifically volumetric clouds and some geometry deformation

Xbox Series X

Unlocked framerate in all modes

• Quality mode: 4K target, runs generally at around 57fps with constant fluctuations, VRR makes it better.
• Performance mode: 1080p target, 60fps with occasional drops, but much more stable than quality mode.
• RT mode: 1440p target, runs at around 50fps, super unstable framerates.

Dynamic resolution scaler isn't aggressive enough.

Xbox Series S

Framerate capped in all modes

• Quality mode: 4k target, 30fps cap, some drops. Again, dynamic resolution scaler not aggressive enough, and VRR can't help here.
• Performance mode: 1080p target, 60fps target, but doesn't really hit it much. VRR helps, but not enough.
• RT mode: 1080p target, 30fps. DF says this is probably the best way to play on Series S.

In conclusion, the dynamic resolution scaler needs to be more aggressive to really hit the target framerates more reliably.

The joke used to be, "can it run Crysis?" But here we are in 2021, yes it can run Crysis on next-gen consoles😉👌

Sounds pretty good. Never have gotten around to playing this game but I did enjoy Crysis 2 and 3 so would like to get around to playing this one some day.

Cool, maybe I will play if it's in the Vault, or if it will come later.

Somewhat skeptical about these targets as someone who has the RTX 3070. At the same time, they probably won't have anything set to CiRC mode.

I think the biggest problem is how AMD FidelityFX CAS stacks up against nVidia DLSS: It doesn't.

Misstep by Crytek releasing the game bit too early. The reception would have been better had Crysis stack against the next gen consoles and last gen series S.

Conclusion: Get this on PC.

Crysis still killing consoles and pc even these days..

@jasonofa36: The PC remaster is also trash.

Yeah, but it's significantly better than the console versions.

Hell, the Enhanced Edition mod looks better, and it's free.

The ps5 version isn't even 1800p it runs most of its modes at 1080p and the frame rate is just as bad lol , but we didn't see this low on series X

@tumorstation5: There is no PS5 version. It's running the PS4 pro version through back compat.

Honestly it just shows how terrible this engine is. The game Honestly looks bad by today's standard.

@silentchief: By your logic there is not series x or s version either , I didn't know the ps4 pro version targeted 1800p lol

an enchanced remaster of a severly gimped version

what a joke

That's not my logic it's the correct logic. The XSX is just running the X1X version without a locked frametate. If you watched the previous head to head you would know the PS4 pro version in fact targets 1800p in the quality mode but at 30fps.

All this patch did was fix a few bugs and add the Vtol level and uncap the framerate for the new consoles. It is not a next gen version for either.

@silentchief: I know it was just trolling but regardless the ps5 versions drops frames really bad even at 1080p , but I think this is because the game is not using all the cores of these consoles.

@tumorstation5: It drops worse on the XSX but averages at a higher resolution. And yes it's terribly optimized.

Honestly even by last gen console standards the game looks below average.

Next gen will come out and we're still not gonna see stable 60fps. I really don't even know why they bothered even releasing this version. It looks bad and can't run at proper frames, so what's the point? And how is 1080p acceptable in 2021? If they can't stabilize the game at a minimum of 1440p, then don't release it at all.

@hardwenzen: The option to play at 60fps is finally standard on consoles, no matter how good the visuals or how big the worlds are. Sure, not at 4k (which i couldn't care less about) and there will always be dips here and there, but that's still fantastic!

Two gens ago we were playing every single game at 30fps with common drops to mid 20s, screen tearing everywhere, pop up in front of our eyes, etc. People will always find reasons to complain about...
