The development team at Crytek has this week teased the second game in the series will be released as a remastered version after the official Crysis Twitter teased its release stating: “They used to call me Prophet,” referring to Crysis 2 character Major Laurence “Prophet” Barnes – and then a follow-up tweet with wide-eyes emoji and screenshot.
The new Crysis 2 remaster game teased by Crytek follows on from the previously released first game in the series which has also been remastered. The remastered version of the first game has been well-received by fans and critics alike, showcasing significant graphical improvements and enhanced gameplay mechanics. The remastered version can be seen in action in the video below, created by the team over at Digital Foundry. Crysis Remastered is out now and available on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
“Crysis Remastered has re-emerged – the Ascension level has been restored, DLSS has been added and numerous fixes have been made. There are clear improvements here but it’s still not quite everything it should be. Alex Battaglia – of course – reports. Logitech Lightspeed Wireless sponsors Digital Foundry. Step up to the pro-grade communications and precision audio you need to win, all with the freedom and mobility of LIGHTSPEED wireless.”
What to Expect from Crysis 2 Remastered
Crysis 2, originally released in 2011, was a groundbreaking game that pushed the boundaries of what was possible in terms of graphics and gameplay. The remastered version is expected to bring these elements to a new level, leveraging modern hardware capabilities to deliver an even more immersive experience. Fans can look forward to enhanced textures, improved lighting, and possibly new gameplay features that were not present in the original release.
One of the most anticipated aspects of the remaster is the potential inclusion of ray tracing, a technology that allows for more realistic lighting and reflections. This could make the urban environments of Crysis 2, set in a devastated New York City, even more breathtaking. Additionally, the remaster may include support for higher frame rates and resolutions, making the game smoother and more visually appealing.
The Legacy of Crysis
The Crysis series has always been known for its cutting-edge technology and high-quality graphics. The original Crysis game, released in 2007, set a new standard for what PC games could achieve, often being used as a benchmark for hardware performance. The phrase “Can it run Crysis?” became a popular way to gauge the power of a gaming PC.
Crysis 2 continued this legacy by introducing new gameplay mechanics and a compelling storyline. The game’s protagonist, Major Laurence “Prophet” Barnes, became an iconic character in the gaming world. The remastered version aims to bring this classic game to a new generation of players, while also giving long-time fans a reason to revisit the series.
The remaster of the first game has already shown that Crytek is committed to preserving the quality and integrity of the original while making necessary updates to meet modern standards. The addition of DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) in the first remaster, for example, has allowed for better performance without sacrificing visual quality. This bodes well for what we can expect from the Crysis 2 remaster.
The announcement of Crysis 2 Remastered has generated significant excitement among fans of the series. With the promise of enhanced graphics, improved gameplay mechanics, and possibly new features, this remaster is shaping up to be a must-play for both new and returning players. Stay tuned for more updates as Crytek reveals more details about this highly anticipated release.
