Honestly some things look better and some don't. But overall i don't see "8K textures" there.
What would you even see an 8K texture on in this shot?

First Crysis Remastered PC Screenshot

The distant LOD in that screenshot is impressive, but hasn't Crytek confirmed that the VTOL level is absent from the non-Switch versions as well? In which case, "Look at how far we can push our LOD system!" is a bizarrely tone-deaf flex.
One thing to consider is this'll probably run better than the original version too.
Honestly, looking just as good as modern games should be considered an achievement for a remaster of a 13-year-old game.
I think the most impressive thing in this screenshot is the detail on the mountain side. Quite the leap from the original.
I think all other features they've shown in that tech trailer are kind of getting lost here. Only side-by-side gameplay footage will truly show the differences.

Damn, if true. It's not a very good level but it was one of the benchmark (CPU wise) moments of the original. I can imagine it being too much of a headache to rework, but I just thought that not even Saber Interactive could make it playable on the Switch.
The VTOL level is strange to me. Everybody seems to say it was a computer killer, but my memory of it was, the performance was pretty damn stable. The level was a bit "boring" and basic, but performance problems I just dont remember it being so, plenty of other levels however yeah, but not that one.
Think I was running at 8800GT and Q6600 at the time.

I missed that the whole remaster project is based on the PS3/360 version of the game, which didn't have the VTOL level among other things.
Yeah but it's not like being "based on" that version means they were just mailed a build of the PS3/360 version and nothing else from Crytek. They've updated and added in new features to the renderer based on updated CryEngine versions, so it's not like they couldn't in principle have ported Ascension to the game regardless of where it started.
I'm not expecting it, but it's possible.
Modern open world games still don't have the amount of physics interactivity of Crysis.
Hmm, well, I'll be damned, it actually is an upgrade after all.
...But can we see some actual footage of this version? Or at least some confirmation of which version of the game (2007 CE2 or 2011 CE3) was used as the base for this Remaster? This matters for gameplay reasons.

Uh, what exactly in that screenshot are you expecting to notice 8K textures on? The only things remotely close to the camera are the hand and the gun.
Excited for this. Not the crysengine 5.0 overhaul I was dreaming of, but this is a start. And the switch version I already bought is great.
Excited to Max this out and see how it looks.
Even just the optimization is somthing to look forward to, as the game takes a pretty wild hit to FPS with just Marty Mcfly's RTGI and Reshade.
so this looking better than that, and likely running better too is already a win.
speaking of mods, for games that take advantage of RTX like this one, does that make it easier theoretically for a modded to add more RTX features at some point?

That's actually what I'm most excited about. Still bums me whenever I'd play Crysis 1 and hear my CPU fan scream because the game was made just before multi-core processors took off.
I believe that comes from an explosion that occurs in the background
OP
OP
Gun model and hands are good examples because it is thing you see through entire game more-less.
Unfortunately not.
Tim Sweeney decided to free Crysis from the woes of a free market and paid money to make it exclusive to the EGS.
All while complaining about Apple having too much leverage over products and stating how important free markets are.
Almost bit like Sweeney is blatant hypocrite who only wants what is good for him, rest is smoke screen.
At this point, a single screenshot isn't doing it. We need to see some 4K direct feed gameplay of the PC version.
Why remove the Rayleigh scattering? That blue tint in the distance is what happens in real life. It's why the sky is blue and why anything at a far enough distance takes on a blue tint.Tried to match colors a bit more to this one and remove blueish tint. Sunlight intensity is much higher in the remake, so a bit hard to get equivalent setting.
Air scatters light and produces the color blue. All surface air on Earth does this due to the make-up of our atmosphere, so if there's enough air between you and, say, a mountain, then that mountain with look blue as the air is essentially acting as a giant tinted lens between you and the mountain. It's why the opposing side of the Grand Canyon looks bluish compared to the side you're on.

Here's a pic of what tree covered mountains look like in real life.

Real life is so cartoony. Ugh. /sPeople are having a go at the colour saturation when this is an island in the South Pacific.

You don't notice it when playing the game, but in the screens, the first Crysis is pretty gray looking. It's so weird.
So do we know yet that this is unadulterated Crysis made for modern hardware or is it 'cut down' but better looking?
I'll admit I don't really know what changes the PS3 version had other than a flying mission that's like almost entirely CPU bound or something.

"Real life looks too much like Fortnite, needs more piss filter."
Crysis is not necessarily a representation of the real world though.People are having a go at the colour saturation when this is an island in the South Pacific.
I genuinely feel a little bad for people who haven't seen mountains in real life and don't know about the blue hazeWhy remove the Rayleigh scattering?

The DX10 color grading is what causes this. Regular DX9 looks more colorful. I liked the DX10 colors though
To be fair, the blue haze is only visible at very long distances. At least that's what I've noticed during our random weekend hikes
I think there's beta footage or pre=release footage out there that probably still looks better than the released game.
I live near the Appalachian mountains so I know distant mountains very well. I don't know enough about the physics to say whether the screenshot in the OP is accurate thoughTo be fair, the blue haze is only visible at very long distances. At least that's what I've noticed during our random weekend hikes
that's a beautiful shot btw
Yeah it is hard to get a sense of scale in the image to know how far away that mountain is, but I think it's about this far away. The additional light reflecting off the water could increase the effect as there'd effectively be more light to scatter.To be fair, the blue haze is only visible at very long distances.

Are you sure that pic is not photoshopped? Have you been to a South/Asia Pacific island?People are having a go at the colour saturation when this is an island in the South Pacific.
I don't think any of these screenshots are from the game? These were presented as promotion for CryEngine, as far as I recall.I mean...
And I mean, yes, they absolutely aimed for photorealism, but what kind of aesthetic they aimed for is not necessarily representative here.
Yeah none of those are in the game as locations, and even most of the assets are not in Crysis. There is even some tech there that Crysis 1 does not have, like how the reflection looks on that river there. Crysis 1 sadly cannot do that.
