For those who use gaming platforms other than the Nintendo Switch, Crysis Remastered will finally be released on the PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One on September 18. It was supposed to be launched earlier this year, however, Crytek decided to delay the announcement due to the fans’ negative backlash towards the leaked trailer.
Now, with its enhancements, Crysis Remastered is more than ready to be released to the world of fans. According to the developers, you can expect “high-quality textures up to 8K resolution, Global Illumination (SVOGI), state-of-the-art depth fields, new light settings, motion blur, ray tracing and much more for a major visual upgrade.”
According to Polygon, only Xbox One X and PlayStation 4 will be able to run the ray tracing mentioned in the trailer. The PC version, on the other hand, will be able to support ray tracing on setups that use Nvidia’s VKRay Vulkan extension or the GeForce RTX graphics cards.
The first Crysis game was released a fairly long time ago – 2007. So, this remastered version will be a trip down memory line while also being a breath of fresh air for many fans. This renowned first-person shooter game was known to push the limits of PC gaming even back then, so much so that the phrase “but can it run on Crysis?” became a meme. With that in mind, you may need to have an extra powerful PC if you want to run Crysis Remastered on the highest settings.
If this is your first time hearing about Crysis, you play as a soldier known as Nomad whose attempts at a rescue mission across North Korea don’t go as planned due to extraterrestrial enemies, among other things.
Others players enjoy the plot, while others don’t – but one thing’s for sure, though: if you wish for a game that will test the capabilities of the consoles we have today, you should definitely check out Crysis Remastered.
