This and the press release mentioning "campaigns" can only mean Warhead is indeed included.
This isn't new footage. They've talked about it before on at least one occasion.
But yes, they showed it.
And the follow-up tweet:
I think that it's obvious there's more than just the first Crysis in the works, so I'm feeling good for Warhead, even if it will end up a separate release.
This is seems pretty conclusive. He wouldn't use plural if it was one game.
Warhead was quite a bit smaller though, i'd say about half the game Crysis 1 is. I'd rather have it included, or perhaps its cheaper? Or he's talking about a possible 2 and 3. Though Warhead was really good.
I am really exited to once again play through Crysis. Played it so many times on Delta. Honestly I don't think the alien part is too bad, but I see why some hated it.
Maybe the game finally gets the widespread appeal it deservers. IMO it still trumps the majority of modern shooters. PC's today should be better suited for CryEngine 5.

I don't think it will look like them - the move to PBR alone is going to be quite a big change. But when it comes to the shader FX listed in the post I quoted, I think it's a fair starting point considering the Switch's grunt over the previous gen consoles.
Going back and playing the original now. Say what you want, but it's still a looker. It does have a certain look and feel that I think was lost in the console versions (not a fan of the color tint and harsh contrast). I hope the remaster can keep that same overall feel, just ramp up the realism and effects. And yes, I do want to have to turn things down to get it to run well on my now-aging GTX1080.. it's frikkin' Crysis, after all.
I am just really hoping that this is what crytek means with the remaster when they say "new textures". :D New assets meaning new textures.
Recent relizations of more than one campaign reminds me of the one Hot Fuzz ice cream scene:
"Crysis Remastered will focus on the original game's single-player campaigns and..."
"I always loved Crysis games, and it's exciting to work with Crytek to bring these games to new audiences."
Loop three times-
Saber interactive CCO: "I always loved Crysis games, and it's exciting to work with Crytek to bring these games to new audiences."
Resetera Crysis fans: "Crysis 1 remastered!"
Break loop
Certain Resetera users eyes widen as they come to a realization.
Certain Resetera users: Back to the thread!
And I can't think of a witty comment to match Hot Fuzz. But to go from one to potentially two remastered campaigns is exciting.

0% chance the game actually looks like this.
I would love to be wrong but this is a remaster, and while the footage they've shown some time ago looks more like a complete remake.

Yeah, so I just redownload Crysis on PS3... It has not aged well graphically.. can definitely see the places their RT would look amazing though. Really wish it was a Crysis Trilogy though. 2 is my favorite... that intro is still amazing.
But I hear it takes the sandbox away from you halfway in and puts you on linear turret sections.
This is why I want Warhead to be included. I hear Warhead is Maximum Soldier all the way through.
Also that it has an amusingly drawn out cutscene of a Maximum Soldier drowning a dude in a river.
Yeah 2 is obviously more linear, but it's still great. I've been playing the 360 version of Crysis 3 via BC, and it's by far the weakest of the three games, but I think 1/2 both offer something of interest.
1 was fantastic but 2 in my opinion felt like I was playing an action summer blockbuster movie. It was fucking great. 3 was a major let down but I would be happy to give it another chance.
Honestly.. I've played 1 three times... I played 2 maybe 10 times.. I've played 3... once.. yet I can't remember much about it. Seemed the weakest of the three.I think we need a Crysis 4 on next gen consoles for sure though.
That Crysis 2 intro on the sub... then that intro with Prophet...man that was epic.
I prefered Crysis 1 vastly over 2. The gameplay was just far more open ended and allowed so many different ways to approach problems.
Monkey's paw: It's a trilogy of ports but only the first part is remastered and there's no warhead.
I can already guess at what levels in Crysis 1 these are from. The assets look totally different but if you've played Crysis 1 enough you can see how they're supposed to fit in that game.
Who knows man, Modern Warfare Remastered basically did the same thing -- it replaced all the art assets but played the same, being just as a much of a "remake" as Shadow of the Colossus or Halo Anniversary.
At this point my most ideal hope is that this is sort of like Modern Warfare Remastered. If that happens, I wonder how the Switch version comes out looking if it uses the new art assets.

From reading the descriptions, it seems that the water reflections are mostly cube-maps. This remaster will definitely have improvements over what was shown in the initial tech demo just with RT reflections alone.
I do hope Crysis 1 keeps the large amount of physics interactions, including wind, intact in the remaster (or even amp it up). I'll definitely feel disappointed if foliage doesn't interact with my character, and gun fire in general.
You will be most likely disappointed if you expect these visuals from Crysis Remastered. There is a reason they call it "Remaster" and not "Remake". A remaster is the exact same game (levels, geometry, gameplay mechanics, etc) but comes with some visual improvements (like textures and graphics effects). A remake is what these links showcase (a level that has been completely remade/rebuilt in a new engine).
Crytek will most likely port the levels from the original game (not remake them) to CRYENGINE V, add the advertised graphics effects (SVOGI, Ray Tracing, HD textures, etc) and that will be it. Still, it will be interesting to see what version they'll port. If they port the original PC version, we'll have the more tactical nanosuit and the VTOL missions. If they port the console version, we'll have a Crysis 2-like nanosuit and no VTOL missions.

Unless the environment and suit shown in the teaser were bespoke, the visuals and assets shown definitely mirror what was in the CryEngine 5.6 trailer.
I hope the idea behind this Remaster is a real attempt at reviving the franchise and not just a quick cashgrab.
If they really are attempting to move the franchise forward they really should aim to fix the issues the games had but also ensure that as many people are enticed to give the games a chance.
That means setting an attractive price point for each game, or alternatively, a nice package with multiple games for a fair price.
Lets get people new to franchise on board so we can get a Crysis 4 eventually!

Haha. Fortunately, the press release says it's "a remaster of Crysis 1", so no chance of any funny business.
The most likely scenario would be porting over the CE3 version to the latest iteration of CE 5.6. It might not look exactly like in those engine demo levels because they are created in isolation not as part of the game with AI and game logic and physics intact but it should come close to that level of fidelity. Even with all the listed upgrades in the press release, we can expect a next gen ready version on PC.
I believe the Switch might just get the more straightforward, slightly more refined PS3/Xbox 360 port.
This will be the game that will push me to upgrade to a ray tracing card, probably the GTX 3080 by the time it is out, just like the original game pushed me to get a 8800GTX all those years ago.
This was the best news I've had all week. Genuine smile when I saw this.

That depends on who you ask. Activision disagrees. They call their games remasters even if they use completely new assets and engines. Modern Warfare remastered uses completely new assets. They market Crash Bandicoot trilogy as a remaster even though it's completely remade on a new engine.
We won't know what Crytek mean by "remaster" until we see actual footage.
2 and 3 were fun for me but forgettable.
Crysis 1 and Warhead on the other hand, man I playeded these two from start to finish multiple times, and still can recall all the levels and fun I had.
I hope if they make a Crysis 4 in the future it will be more like the original 1 and warhead.
