Crysis Remastered is Confirmed

[jabbadap]

EA Logo should be there if they are publishing it, there is no EA logo, I found it very hard to believe that a company as big as EA would forget to put a sticker along with something that it is involved in.

This is the EA's official Crysis site: https://www.ea.com/games/crysis/crysis
There is no mention of Crysis Remastered on any EA site nor Origin.

Perhaps it could be a leak that caused Crytek to go out early without the proper reveal being finished as it didn't went according to plan?

So EA won't be the publisher for it. One can probably purchase it from Crytek shop or directly from Steam as any other Crytek self released and published game.

Unless they have some exclusive or EA owns Crysis/Crytek TM, which it most likely doesnt, they simply will choose someone else. Or start own shop.

I would say in some cases publishers are simply not needed these days.

Thanks never played any of the series. I will now buy Crysis 1 & test on my classic PC. ..AMD FX-60.

EDIT: Is Crysis 1 windows 7 64 bit compatible.

EDIT2: Just bought this game, DVD Rom on it's way.

You could have bought it without drm and downloaded from GOG. I hate to see you dealing with the SecuROM in the disk version.

And defy the purpose of nostalgia rig. But yeah I have no warm feelings for any DRM, I.E. Starforce broke my DVD burner in early 2000s.

I blieve this when I see it
but in the way that all "remaster" projects going, crysis remaster will be another remaster crysis

Good Luck! Please let us know if you have any trouble.

I'm not going to tell you that it was a bad purchase because I have that same collection myself. However, it does suffer from a few issues that have been fully patched in the GOG version. You might not have those issues depending on your config. When you get it, try it and see how it runs. If you have no problems, cool beans! If you do, chime in with me/us and we'll see if we can get it sorted out for you.

only issue is 1080p screenmode opens at 24Hz. it's a manually file edit to get it at 60Hz. Everything else works.

Fair enough. There were a few other small glitches that happen on some systems, but if you got it running well, rock on!

Ya I ran into same issue with 4k - locks in at 24hz, had to create a custom resolution to fix.

Found quick part solution for Radeon users.

Enable VSR in the radeon software. Keep this enable at all times. Now change the screen resolution in desktop & setup each screenmode above 1080p to fit TV by adjusting HDMI scaling up to 4k. So you are looking at all screenmode between 1080p & 4K. Now when setting any screenmode in the game menu above 1080p it will run at full speed, full screenmode. 1080p still runs at 24Hz thou, there must be a bug somewhere in the game, but i should be able to fix this.

NOTE: With VSR enabled you loss a tiny amount of performance at least that's what a get here when comparing same screenmode with VSR on & off.

I don't understand the cynicism here.
Yes it's a remaster, as many other games are remastered. The key to a good remaster is not ruining the original game but sticking faithfully to what we all know and love about the original. Take Black Mesa for example. Although it's a complete re-make of Half-Life, it too could be considered a remaster in one sense, just like Forsaken Remastered and Resident Evil 2. They both take the original game to new heights in line with new technology which wasn't available at the time of conception.
It's known that Crytek fell on tough times and the direction they're taking now is by licensing their game engine and doing what they do best - engine development. If Crysis Remastered turns out to be a showcase for their new technology, then I'm more than happy to buy into it.
I'm particularly excited by the API and hardware-agnostic ray tracing, something we AMD users couldn't otherwise have enjoyed unless we forked out for an RTX.

This. Everyone is afraid they'll make changes that ruin the experience.

 

[Splinterdog]

I'd like to think that any changes they make won't alter the core of the single player gameplay, but more on performance and AI.
I imagine they'll optimise for multi-core and tweak the AI, mainly the NKPA who at times see you even when you're cloaked.

The feel of the gameplay has to be improved by not messing it up, different people have different context what "improvement" is. I know Crysis very well and will instantly know whether I like it or not.

Same here.
