After previously being announced, Sabre Interactive’s Tim Willits has this week confirmed that the new Crysis Remastered team currently under development will feature missions from both the original Crysis and Crysis Warhead games. This exciting news has fans of the franchise eagerly anticipating the release, as it promises to bring back the intense gameplay and stunning visuals that made the original games so popular.
Crytek revealed the news that a remastered version of the original Crysis game was in production last week. This remastered version will be available for the PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch. The inclusion of the Nintendo Switch is particularly noteworthy, as it raises questions about how the game will perform on the less powerful hardware of the Switch compared to other platforms.
The Legacy of Crysis
The original Crysis, released in 2007, was a groundbreaking first-person shooter known for its stunning graphics and advanced physics. It set a new standard for visual fidelity in video games and became a benchmark for PC gaming performance. The game’s open-world design, combined with its nanosuit mechanics, allowed players to approach combat situations in a variety of ways, making it a highly replayable experience.
Crysis Warhead, released in 2008, was a standalone expansion that followed the story of Sergeant Michael “Psycho” Sykes, a character from the original game. Warhead offered a more focused and action-packed experience, with new weapons, vehicles, and enemies. The inclusion of missions from both Crysis and Crysis Warhead in the remastered version means that players will get to experience the full breadth of the Crysis universe.
Crytek and Saber Interactive are expected to reveal more details about the upcoming release of the new Crysis Remastered in the coming months. As soon as trailers, pricing, and availability are announced, we will keep you up to speed as always.
Technological Advancements
One of the most exciting aspects of Crysis Remastered is the potential for new technological advancements. The original game was known for pushing the limits of what was possible with game graphics, and the remastered version is expected to do the same. Crytek has a history of developing cutting-edge technology, and it will be interesting to see what new features and improvements they bring to the table.
For instance, the remastered version is likely to include support for ray tracing, a technology that allows for more realistic lighting and reflections. This could make the already stunning environments of Crysis even more immersive. Additionally, improvements in texture quality, character models, and environmental details are expected, making the game look better than ever before.
“John, Rich, and Alex convene for a brand new Digital Foundry Direct, where the team discusses the monumental news that Crysis is returning, remastered by Crytek and Saber Interactive and coming to PC, Xbox One, PS4, and… Switch? What should we expect from the new game? What kind of technologies are available from Crytek to power it? Can Switch really deliver a decent port? You have questions, we have questions… and some answers.”
The inclusion of the Nintendo Switch version is particularly intriguing. The Switch is not as powerful as the other platforms, so it will be interesting to see how Crytek and Saber Interactive optimize the game to run smoothly on it. This could involve significant compromises in terms of graphical fidelity, but it also opens up the possibility of playing Crysis on the go, which is an exciting prospect for many gamers.
