Warhead is a much more pleasant experience, but even there I’ve experienced crashing and one of the levels has a distracting visual bug with one of the shaders that was never properly officially fixed. Crysis can exhibit some visual glitches – some alpha effects not always work (shields on enemies, fire, some lighting), the game is very prone to crashing, especially if you have any sort of overlay running anywhere, the cutscenes are supper choppy on a 144Hz screen, seemingly because they’re hard locked to 30 and it doesn’t work well all the time or they just employ some effects that aren’t as optimized as what you get in gameplay. So I had the pure experience that you get with the current version of the games on GOG (which is the only way to get them without DRM, to this day). I decided to get into both games “raw”, without tweaks, mods or any changes. They weren’t well designed for multi-threaded performance, hell original Crysis isn’t even running that well with its 圆4 executable without additional tweaking. What’s more important is that despite the hardware enhancements, due to the limitations of that version of CryEngine, Crysis and Warhead aren’t running as well today as you’d expect them to. Besides, it’s only the case today in 2020, but for many years since Crysis, there was nothing catching up to its quality in terms of pure technology, even if in terms of art design there have been games before or after that have a far more interesting and memorable look to them. But… That’s to be expected – those games introduced a lot of techniques and ideas that has since evolved and changed into better variations of themselves. The most modern AAA titles and even more budget games running on newer versions of Unreal Engine, Unity and, yes, CryEngine as well, tend to have assets and vfx on par and better than what you got in Crysis titles in 20. The game doesn’t look as groundbreaking as it used too today, of course. Let’s start with the technological side of things, because that’s what people associate Crysis the most with. And now I understand these games a bit better than back 12 years ago. Now, with the Crysis Remastered announced (even if we lack details on the re-release), I decided that it was a good time to revisit the original and it’s spin-off. Was bored throughout 2 and liked 3 a tiny bit as well. Visually stunning, truly an example of technology yet to come and very open-ended in its gameplay. Back when Crysis was melting PCs and Microsoft made their silly comparison of how DirectX 10 looks better than 9, I didn’t find the game actually fun to play. I don’t know what is it about this type of an FPS that doesn’t quite click with me, but that’s how it is.
