Well that's interesting. A reviewer was saying no matter the hardware, no one is able to get 60 fps+ with the original version as it only use two threads max by the CPU.
Now you know who not to listen to.
Agree, i can handle origin, but epic launcher bleeurrgh
GOG. Crysis and Warhead are there and at good prices.

Those are steps in the right direction but right now, it's still a no-go. I'm with Tigger, I'd rather play the original for the (ironically) better visual fidelity.

Or listen better. What Digital Foundry dude was taking about is getting stable 60+ fps with Very High view distance in Remastered. Again, Remastered Medium is roughly equal to original's Very High. Looks like throwing all the objects towards GPU is still predominantly on one thread and rather extreme view distance and the object count from that clogs up the works.

It's a big update, around 2.7GB and the game definitely looks visually superior to the original, but I'm really pissed off that manual saving is no longer possible. Besides which, the checkpoint system is a joke with the intervals being far too long.
Crytek did a pretty good job at disappointing the very community (PC) that has supported and modded the game for the last 13 years and at whom the remaster was marketed as "What you've been asking for..." and I believed them.

Um, it was already a great game. Making the graphics better (subjectively) doesn’t make it still not a great game.

I don't know, man. I used to roam the streets of NYC in Tom Clancy's The Division for hours. It was so spectacular and breathtaking I just couldn't stop enjoying it. Strangely The Division 2 hasn't quite left me with the same heavenly experience. And The Division 1, once you finish the single player campaign, is an horrible dumb grind.

Agreed. Once I hit level 30 the drive to go further was no longer there.
Mind you, if I had a really powerful weapon, a real monster, I'd probably carry on instead being blown to pieces.

No, good GFX, great gameplay and good story make a good game, thank you very much.

Moving along.
Oh yes, please do.

Well said.

Glad you enjoy the most egotistical benchmark ever to grace the pc industry.
LOL! :wtf::kookoo:;)
Still does not change my opinion but remember that is mine and mine alone.
We're not trying to change your opinion, we're trying to help you understand that your opinion is not a common one and that we disagree.
Glad i got 3 responses merely to a opinion.
You mentioned ego above... interesting.
This time i am finished, cause well i got nothing else to say.
Ok. Just so you know, we're not trying to scare you off. You presented provocative and quasi-aggressive statements and we responded. You're welcome to stick around.

I think it is potentially the only game that really does. Laptop has a 2070 Super, typically performs around 2060 super/2070 desktop level. I was getting 50-60 fps mostly till that area, but that overlook butchered my fps due to all the foliage being rendered in the distance.

No need for me to understand, i can have whatever opinion i want and no matter who says what nothing has or will change. I typically go against the grain cause i see things quite different then most. I prob should keep quiet in a forum pushing products in a upsell. I will prob cause ripples with my honest opinions and lack of sucking up to big business and corps blindly like most.

Having opinions that differ from yours doesn't equate to "sucking up to big business and corporations blindly".

No one has a problem with your opinion. People do have a problem with you, and anyone else, proposing their opinion as fact, and delivering it in a condescending manner.

I was brute and forward with my original post, just deal with it. That simple.
Why should we. How about you refrain from being unpleasant?
Like i care if anyone likes me or not cause my post goes against the norm?
Then why bother responding?
Not here to make friends.
Then go somewhere else.
Not like i need them, most people are stupid ass idiots and i need them why?
You tell us. You are the one being unpleasant and aggressive for no reason what-so-ever.

You've taken the thread off topic enough. Please stop with the unpleasantness or the mods will be asked to intervene.

What happened to that? why are you still here arguing about entitlement to an opinion, nobody cares.

To be clear, I don't want you to respond.

Now, back to Crysis, I'm still waiting to play the remaster, I really enjoyed the series and have revisited multiple times over the years, especially the firsts wide linear style. It seems like unfortunately the engine is still massively dependant on single threaded performance hey? or do the issues flow beyond that? I was looking for something to stretch the legs of my 3080 but if the 3700X is going to hold me back I think I'll wait/pass for now.

I guess we are trying to understand what about improving the graphics in what was already a very fun and by almost any standards a good, classic game has made it NOT a good game?

Are you approaching this from the POV of someone who never played Crysis? The gameplay has remained the same. And no, I certainly am not “sucking up to big business.” If you would read the whole thread you would see my opinion is clear: it didn’t need to be remastered. Despite that, making it look better didn’t suddenly make it a bad game.

This is quite simple, i am going to place you on perm ignore you do the same then i find another thread where cry babies won't cry to mods when a big man like you can't put up with me.
Mods peruse all the threads regularly. No need for any reporting. It’s the reason TPU hasn’t degenerated into a toxic mess like many tech forums. You’ll find, without any reporting that your namecalling like you just did is against the forum rules that you were supposed to read when you joined.

Ignored, that simple. I was visiting another forum clear away from this and you STILL people wanna drag my name time and time again. Mods who may read, read my original post and know my intent was based on a opinion. Apparently opinions are a death sentence.

Sounds like some 1692 stuff to me.

Timmy Joe going off about trash performance in a 13 year old title with top end hardware. Yeah this doesn't look like a trash game at all,before a remaster and its new add ons are added. Simply a engine so those who love to brag can brag about their uber rigs running like trash on a engine that with such a rig would run Frostbite or any other engine at a much higher performance level with better gameplay to boot.

It's awesome how instead of having a discussion and actually reading what I wrote, which didn't attack you at all, your childish response is ignore. Apparently, per your style of response, it IS 1692. Keep up at this pace and you'll be in an echo chamber in no time,

Wow, based on the edits, he seems angry.

Back on topic, there is a new update in the works and it seems that much of what was lost in the visual quality aspect of things from this remake being a console port, will be restored. If this is true, I'm going to get a copy.
Glitches aside, it's nice to know that the devs are not abandoning the game and are listening to players.

It's fun to come into a community, engage badly with them from the get go, claim they're the issue and put them on ignore thinking they're the problem.

What has been lost in visual fidelity? I've seen that thrown around but don't really understand the subtleties of it. I thought it exceeded the original visually but had performance issues.

That's what I thought originally, but other users earlier in the thread pointed out that this remake is actually based on the console version of the game instead of the PC version. See the video a few pages back. This introduced limitations in GFX effects that look a lot worse. There's also the problem with lower polygon count which also seems to have been inherited from the console version.

The article above talks about ongoing progress, but I can't find the one that went into some detail about it.
