Digital Foundry: Crysis is an impressive port to the Switch
ResetEra: Looks bad guys
Joking aside, I'm honestly shocked that some are so heartbroken over the exclusion of that awful Ascension mission. Ascension and when you are floating around in the alien ship are easily the worst missions in the game. Would it be nice to include it? Sure I guess. Am I upset over it being excluded? Hell no.

Sounds good, between this and the dev-stream the other day think ill be fine enough with getting the switch version.
Seeing the foundation that this port comes from makes me think people are gonna be none-too-happy about the eventual PC release unless Crytek really pulls a homerun with those few weeks of delay.
there's nothing a few weeks can change about that. they can't just add back the VTOL section or anything. maybe throw in some extra lighting feature, but it'll still be the 360/PS3 version as the base
Are the interiors still as sparse as they were on the PS360 version? At least I'm glad to hear foliage has been restored.
Please watch the video. That would help with some of the questions. I guess if you can at least.
As someone who has never played the game, how big of a deal is Ascension not being present?
Second worse level in the game. Plays like it was designed by someone who's never played a video game. The controls are frustratingly slow to respond. Also runs like crap on PC. A cluster fuck of a level. Not having it is a good thing.
That's ..... worrying. I hope they still have manual suit modes on PC.
Heh, I had a feeling it was based on the 360 version (I was told on here that was a ridiculous suggestion, lol). Wonder if the other versions are too, or if they only did it for Switch due to the more comparable hardware power. Would explain the difference in release dates and the Switch version not looking much like the leaked trailer for the other ones.
Seems like some decent upgrades over the old console version. Shame the game doesn't have Warhead remastered, I don't think Crysis is actually that great a game. Warhead is the one that delivered really good gameplay imo.

Looks pretty decent from what I've seen so far. The global illumination is nice. Wish it had the full content, but I've got a feeling we'll never see that on any new version.
Youtube compression is rough on this video though. Compression artifacts everywhere. For some reason it looked especially bad on the PS3 footage. Had to switch to the patreon download version.

Crysis 10 Years On: Why It's Still Melting The Most Powerful Gaming PCs
Crysis is one of Alex's favourite games. It's a tech showcase built like no other - and in many ways, it still holds up today. Sit back as we take you throug...

Thanks! Great review!

Thankss!
This looks great for Switch, but if the PC version doesn't have the original suit mode switching and is missing any geometry, features, or levels, the backlash will be vicious. I don't envy the development team right now.
It's also not very fun. š¤£

That's because of the old engine issue that doesn't scale on multi core cpu. Remaster should fix it.i7 8700K/TITAN X struggles to maintain 60 fps.Crysis 10 Years On: Why It's Still Melting The Most Powerful Gaming PCs

I can't imagine the people complaining in this thread, are people that ACTUALLY played the original PC release.
VTOL section is an abomination and its exclusion automatically gives the switch a +1 in the shines department.
This looks like a very nice port.

yea this port is crazy considering it's on a portable machine. I played the original on my pc back in 2010 and I don't remember anything about the vtol mission lol
We want to see Johns Power Rangers style transformation now that he has obtained the power of the Crysis Shrine!
OT: It will be interesting to compare this to the upcoming Doom Eternal port. Very different starting points obviously. This looks very sharp in handheld, something that the id Tech ports have been missing thus far.

Full resolution and SVOGI is pretty impressive. I wonder if the work done here for the Switch version can be scaled up for a next-gen/pc remaster with the best of both worlds.
Edit: Oh that's actually happened for current gen already. Shows how in the loop I am

So they accidentally capped the framerate at 31 FPS on PS360 but never noticed because the PS360 ports could never reach the framerate cap anyway lmao
Luckily seems like something that can be fixed in a patch
this remaster was already coming to PC. Xbox/PS4/PC versions got delayed, but the switch version didn't
I had a great time with the original at launch, and again on PS3. This will be a good experience too before the other remasters hit.
Unpopular opinion: I liked Ascension lol it ran like shit on my 260GTX (216 shader model), but it looked so good!
Looks good to me. I'll play on Lite which mitigates a lot of the resolution concerns. Graphically I'm impressed. I loved Switcher 3 despite a lot of naysaying so I think I'll be food here too. I'm one of those who enjoyed the 360 port too, and played it on a high end PC too so I've had all the experiences.
What's going on at 00:52 in the video? Is that a really dramatic lighting change or did they change which character is featured in that scene?
The only thing I can maybe think of why the volumetric lightning was reworked was due to potential seizures issues (and was likely taken into consideration for even the old console release). When it was shown off it in an earlier part of the video, it gave me a bit of a headache and hurt my eyes (due to the fact I've been developing photo-sensitivity as I've gotten older).
I think what's happening is that the PS360 version changed the character model to better gel with the incredibly blue tone mapping (I guess BF3 was a big deal at the time). Now the Switch version has completely revamped the lighting, but they're still using the same assets. I'm betting the blue model is also lower poly in addition to the color changes, so it makes sense to use it for the Switch port.
