Remember Crysis?

My PC still cant run it

i remember my Dell laptop could barely run it on low in 2007. the PC i built in 2008 with an 8800GT got me playing it at medium/high settings and did a great job when i bought another card and SLI'd it. then the GTX670 in my 2012 build allowed me to play it at high settings with high fps. only took 5 years lol.

Anyone know if Crysis Remastered is worth a shot, or is the original still the best experience? Never played any version of it before.

Were the games actually any good?

I know they were the benchmark for testing your graphics card for years, but I don't think I ever heard anyone talk about the quality of the actual games.

I never actually beat it. AI was pretty good but I got bored pretty early on.

It was fun. Pretty open sandbox game where you had tons of routes for dealing with objectives. Physics was also really fun to mess with too. Guard in a guard tower? Shoot the support beams and watch it come down killing all the enemies under it too. Lead a bunch of enemies over a wooden bridge and shoot the ropes sending them all falling to the water.

Crysis 2 was linear and not as good. Crysis 3 was slightly more open than crysis 2 but not as open as crysis 1. As far as gameplay the first was definitely the best.

No clue if the remastered port is worth it. I last played this game over 10 years ago. My laptop at the time could run it maxed at 60fps 1080p with FXAA. 2012 Alienware with a 7970m.

I think I got it up to around 35-40fps on medium settings.

I remember Gametrailers GOTY award.
Their best graphics awards went to the latest CoD, because "they couldn't build a PC that could even start Crysis".
