Poor Crytek. After some apparent teasing of it, they simply let everybody know they’re remastering their 2007 PC-melting FPS Crysis by unintentionally making the official web site stay. In the quick time the positioning was on-line, somebody grabbed the important thing artwork.
Nibel on Twitter managed to grab the artwork earlier than it was taken down, and I can verify seeing the brand on the official web site in the beginning was restored. There was additionally an official description, which revealed that “Crysis Remastered brings new graphic features, high-quality textures, and the CRYENGINE’s native hardware – and API-agnostic ray tracing solution for PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and – for the very first time – Nintendo Switch.”

I’d like to see them do extra to the game than simply improve the know-how. Crysis was a giant and daring shooter, with state-of-the-art graphics and physics. The greatest components had been preventing in opposition to the human troopers within the first half of the game, utilizing your nanosuit to creatively homicide them. It misplaced its method fairly a bit when the aliens had been moved entrance and centre throughout the latter a part of the game. A rethink of the AI and the clumsy ultimate phases is required.
Crytek have hinted at a remake for some time. In a Cryengine trailer from earlier this yr, they confirmed a small glimpse of that iconic second of the opening stage the place you push via the bushes into the bay.
Not so much to go on, however we additionally know that Crytek ray-tracing tech works on up to date graphics playing cards, without having for devoted ray-tracing {hardware}. That’s about as techy as I get, however Digital Foundry have performed with a demo of it.
You can attempt that demo out by yourself PC here. I received about 50fps on my Geforce 1080, which stunned me. I believed it could wrestle. Crysis was the benchmark for PC {hardware} efficiency, so I wouldn’t thoughts a remaster that strained my system. Test my {hardware}, Crytek. It’s the one method I can justify an improve.
