Crysis Remastered launching September 18th on PC (ray-tracing, 8K textures and more, EGS exclusive), Xbox One and PS4
- Thread starter Raigor
- Start date
SVOGI is running on the switch even. and their RT solution is software based (PC has a hardware acceleration option)
I dunno feels like they are missing the nice Parallax Occlusion mapped pebbles that made a nice transition between the big rocks and the sand?
"Just" slapping an 8K texture on it seems a bit "modder" style? The comparison shot on the beach did not feel that convincing as an improvement to me.
Do we know if this Remaster now is "just" the "8ked" CE3 console port of Crysis from the PS360 gen or did they go back to the PC version from 2007? There were a lot of assets remade cheaper for that console port by I think Crytek UK. Be interesting to see if they went back to the 2007 assets as well.
"Up to 8K textures", so I would assume some of the hero textures even on OneX and PS4Pro will be 8K. PC likely has more if not melt my VRAM levels of 8K textures.
The RT will be software based on Pro and 1X.
I imagine the base boxes just arent powerful enough to run the software RT and will relay on their other GI and reflection techniques.
PC version is using Nvidias VKRay extension.....as VKRay is part of the RTX brand does this lock out AMD from using hardware based RT?
Wouldnt Vulkans hardware agnostic solution have been a better bet....especially if they are porting the game to nextgen consoles and im guessing will include Hardware Accelerated RT there..I suppose porting from VKRay to Vulkan Raytracing isnt all that hard (as evidenced by YoungBloods) but still strange for them to use a very Nvidia specific solution.
Yes, I am wondering how they gonna deal with HW RT on next-gen consoles and RDNA2 GPUs. I hope that they won't keep it software based only and hardware one being just for Nvidia.
It looks like they do now require a security code that is mailed to the address used during the sign up to complete the process.
Wasn't there a PlayStation Access video that said the game was coming out today lol. I wondered what happened there
That's got to be a promising sign about finally removing the single core CPU bottleneck from the game. Finally the dream of playing Crysis at a locked 60fps may finally be a reality. With DLSS included that could well be a locked 60fps at 4K with Ray Tracing on mid range hardware.
Of course Crysis had to be the game to bring ray tracing to consoles as well, it just feels right to use a Crysis remaster to break new technical ground.
They will almost certainly move to a hardware agnostic solution for nextgen.
If they are sticking with software based, it better be damn good.
Cant wait to give this a go....I hope they include both software and hardware based solutions on PC so we can test out how efficient their solution is in a like for like test.
It doesnt look like they have touched the actually geometry too much but thats to be expected, its a remaster not a remake.
So hopefully a lowly xx70 will be able to 1440p100 this game.
With DLSS included.....oooffff im ready 2020 just got alot more exciting.
Seems like it wont be exclusive on EGS for pc, it seems like its also coming to Microsoft store, unless they just mean xbox?
From their website https://press.crytek.com/crytek-announces-release-date-for-crysis-remastered#
" The game will be available as a digital release via the Epic Games Store, the PlayStation Store, and the Microsoft Store for USD 29.99 / EUR 29.99."

Crossing fingers it's on gamepass for PC. Seeing Epic getting hungrier and greedier, Microsoft would do well to undercut the EGS by bringing the PC version to their service. (But I guess some contract somewhere will forbid it).
Microsoft Store for Xbox One, this kind of games will never release on the Windows 10 store. And why should it be available on that and not on Steam?
I wish this game had a gfx setting called "damn son" where all the rocks on the beach were included and you could sleep on hammocks
There have been multiple examples of EGS exclusives also being available on GamePass PC and the Microsoft store. when Epic pays for exclusivity, they really only care about keeping it off of Steam.
Also, just thought it — if the NVIDIA cards indeed drop on Sept 17, they'll probably use this game to showcase them! Brilliant strat!
Gonna wait until the next gen situation is clear. Not gonna get it for current gen, because without the ray tracing it doesn't seem like a must have.
Yeah, Game Pass is possible, but tbh I don't think we'll actually see it on there, at least for now. If the publisher is still EA (i'll try to check it out), maybe it'll be available on EA Play like the original game.
EDIT: It seems like that Crytek is self-publishing the game, which kind of explains the EGS esclusivity.
Is there a chance they will release a demo to make us realize the updated graphics? They did have one for the original game when no PC could run it back then. :p
The vkray extension from NV can be mapped to the VkRT in the AMD driver - im fact it will have to for AMD to get RT working in games that came out on Vulkan before it was codified.
I guarantee the hw RT im Crysis Remastered will work fine on Amd hw as soon as AMD has a driver and GPU to Support it.
Always depends on how things are used.
Remember we had Rage on ps3/x360 with 128k textures.
I've been operating under the assumption that the Switch port branched off of the PS3/360 ports due to the limitations of its hardware.
I'll be disappointed if the PC release comes from the same tree of the family.
Lacking the suit controls of the original release might be a deal breaker for me.
I thought that Crytek had a hardware-agnostic RT software solution. Are we expecting to see this here?
Right now it's Can it run flight simulator 2020 not sure if this can top that existing hardware cannot hit 60 ultra. Even a 2080super and a good cpu can barely keep it close to 30. Rumor is only high end ampere cards will be able to do it at 60 ultra ie 3090
they do. it might still be in the PC version. but it'll run slower than the HW accelerated version. also VkRT is based on Nvidia's solution, so it might work with RDNA2
It'll be very interesting seeing SW ray tracing on the base PS4 and the enhanced consoles.
They pulled off a workable, baked GI solution on the switch so with much more HW power on tap the quality should be much much better. Let's see if they opt for 900p on base PS4 though.

This is just false. There is absolutely an email verification I just made a new account with a new email and this is what I got.
And this isn't a new thing, I just dugged up my verification email from 2017 when the store wasn't even a thing and it was just an Epic account to get Unreal Engine. They've always had this.

As I mentioned earlier, I don't think basing the Switch on the PS3/360 ports and then basing the PS4/XB1/PC versions on the original PC version makes sense. Crytek would effectively be redoing the game twice.
Just FYI you can easily screw up Vulkan implementation and make it even worse than DX9 one. Also, using Vulkan doesn't mean the game will not be CPU bottlenecked.
Then how did I already have an account with no email from epic in my history. There were others with the same issues https://forums.unrealengine.com/community/general-discussion/1487369-account-by-russian-federation .This is just false.
