What blows my mind is that this came out only 2 years after GTA San Andreas

Rumor has it you can run PubG on the computers in Crysis

single player focused fps games.. those were the times

13 year Ago: But can it run Crysis? 13 years Later: But can it run Crysis...........Remastered Version?

"Now I'm happy when a game even has a single player mode." What a sad world we live in.

Still looks better than some games of today, pretty amazing

It's the bugatti veyron, It's the concorde, It's the moon landing. It's a giant leap that propells the rest of the mankind to enjoy the tech revolution it creates.

In China, we called this game Crysis of Graphics Card

Crysis is what happens when PC developers decide to stop giving a fuck and just push technology to the limit. Kinda wish that would happen more often.

I didn't expect a video about crysis to make me sad but I stand corrected. That game was one in a million

This game looks better than a 2018 game by a AAA developer... Fallout 76.

North Korean Army General: *Sir, this is our most technologically advanced computer system.* Kim Jong Un: *But can it run Crysis?*

Then comes fucking COD WW2 10 years later, where a tree is indestructible, even by tanks.

It was the biggest middle finger to consoles in the history of games

Back then: We have to do everything to make a good game Today: we have to do everything to monetize a game.

I know why you’re here. Crysis Remastered got announced right?

I feel like developers and publishers today focus more on trying to exploit you and suck your money than to compete with other companies to try to create an amazing and fun game. 😔

When Crysis came out I was playing GTA Vice City in 3 fps on my Windows Pentium 3

But can it run Crysis?

When developers are able to, and decide to implement their creative ideas, unharnessed and without holding back, it can turn the finished product into a fine work of art.

I could barely run this video about Crysis without it lagging :/

I remember playing a demo of this for 5 min, then my computer exploded.

"Its that spending the kind of time on development that crytek did with this game, creating new ideas and technologie's doesn't make the kind of money that microtransactions make." This one sentence describes the problem with 90% of all games perfectly.

This video makes me sad. Crysis was the crown of the golden era of singleplayer games.

This game killed two of my graphics cards at the time. Worth it.

"It's that spending that kind of time on development that Crytek did with this game, creating new ideas and technologies, doesn't make the kind of money that microtransactions make." Thanks a lot EA

Ok you may have a great Crysis but can it run PC?

Mafia II is also almost a decade old. Life like faces and sharp textures. Very surprising for a game its age.

I remember when I bought a new graphics card around that time and the guy told me "Don't worry, it will run Crysis" ^^

Brave? Ha try telling that to EA Activison Ubisoft etc now. All they're trying to push the limits of now is how much they can corrupt their games to fit as much microtransactions as they can.

Crysis was _why_ I built my first PC, and quite honestly, that was probably one of the big reasons I ended up in a computing field. I saved up for months in order to do so, because you needed a completely bad ass PC to play it properly. I miss when things were made "because we can", not "because ROI".

Without crysis, game graphics would not be what they are today

life hits you when you realize ten years ago was 2007 and not 1998

Don't make me sad

crysis to fortnite what a downgrade

Compare a game from 1997 with 2007 Crysis and then compare Crysis with a 2017 game and see that the graphics evolution sloved down significantly.

i remember people were lining up to watch this game when someone played it in computer shop

I remember staring at a guy who played crysis on a huge screen with all graphics maxed out. Played alot of games but havent had that wow efect that i had with crysis

I'm CRYing

2010 : can it run crysis 2019 : can it run minecraft statrum 2048x texture pack?

I finished this game at that time with 2 gb of ram dual cpu and a 256mb graphic card with everything on low and 20 fps max on a good day.

It still looks better than 90% of games released now... in 2017.... TEN YEARS later!!

I had to fucking upgrade my computer for this game

Crysis franchise is one of the best experiences i've ever had in my life. And its true it was way ahead of its time. Its sad there won't be any game like that in future.

I think the way Crysis fit into my life was as an acheivment over the years. I could never play it on my pentium no graphics from '06. However, over the years I got slightly better computers (never with more than Integrated graphics. But they slowly were able to get me to play it at 15 fps on low everything. That day I was so excited I just yelled out for about a minute or two. Which brings me to now, about a month ago I bought a gaming computer with and actual, dedicated, graphics card. I bought Crysis and played at max everything. It made the child in me happier than ever. Crysis was and still is an amazing game, but in terms of accessibility, for me at least, well it took over a decade. But now, I can run Crysis. :)

Sad at the fact that you didn't even mention AI. They invested well in that front too, and while Crysis was no F.E.A.R. it still mingled open world and risk in a way that planning approaches was really fun. You'd die and understand why from a tactic point of view and you'd mix moments of guns blazing with stealth because enemies would see you and chase you and call reinforcements and the damn choppers and tanks. On hard I would very often run out of bullets and feel like a real commando. We're never getting a gem like that again.

I completed this game on my Pentium 4 on low settings I got 17-19 fps good game tho

Because it was PC only. They pushed the possible. Crysis was the Result.

I finally understand linus tech tips comment sections

after 10 years, I'm still missing the Crysis sequel that we never got... the one that would have continued the cliffhanger of the first game how they must have initially planned it, with the same tech, the same feel of the first one (big open playgrounds).. I have a special place in my heart for crysis

This game used to Shit on my pc

New generation had no idea how was like to play Crysis, especially when he said 'Maximum Armor', 'Clock Engaged', Maximum speed'

I don't remember Crysis being exceptional in terms of story or gameplay (they were good just not what I would term great), but I jumped on the graphics hype train. Damn were they pretty! I remember the joy of finally being able to run it at Very High settings... on 800x600 resolution!!! :D

Phenomenal game even 10 years later. Played it just recently in glorious 4K (mostly 40-60 fps; engine was sadly not optimized and understandably so). Still looks and sounds incredible! The gameplay is also fun with many ways of finishing objectives.

It looks like a 2017 teaser trailer game...SMH

"Is your refrigerator running?" "No. Enough of your jokes, steven." "Can it run crysis though?"

Saw some comments accusing Gameranx of copying LGR. Reminder that it's the 10 year anniversary of Crisis (November 13, 2007) so a bunch of people have been making videos/articles on it.

Damn I remember building a 10,000 dollar gaming pc back in 2008 just so i could run crysis at full detail...with the graphics and physics of crysis.. There is still nothing today that compares to that level of detail or the feeling i got from it..

I think the Crysis Developers Are From The Future

The fact that CRYsis and farCRY were created by CRYtek and used the CRYengine makes me CRY

It has been 10 year already?

Crysis is what happens when devs make a game with pc in mind and not the consoles.

Thats in 2007 holy wow

I bought this game for my pc back in 2007 and could not run it at 40+ frames, now 12 years later I can hit 60+ frames!

Played the demo with a 6600gt, bought the game day one with a 8800gt, wanted more fps so i bought another 8800gt for sli... Then with visual mods and a obsession with fps i finished the game with a 3way sli GTX 280 setup.. and that's my story with this game and how it evolved my PC while emptying my wallet.

But can it run crysis 2 on crysis 3 on a computer in crysis?

Don't let this distract from that fact that a man spent 80 dollars on battlefront 2 only to find he cant play as Darth Vader. Then EA got the most down voted comment on that thread on Reddit

Still has better grapghics than most of games in 2019

When Crysis came out, my computer was pretty old (bought in 2005), and already couldn't run many new games on high settings. Still, I could run Crysis on minimals and played through the whole game. I loved it.

4:28 I would believe it if you tell me this is a 2017 new FPS teaser

Still cant run it

I remember this game. I built an almost $6k pc back in the day. 8 core processor, 32gb memory, 4 graphics cards linked together and liquid cooling. I could run this game at ultimate and it was absolutely beautiful. Better than any game today. I miss this type of gaming. Thanks for making this video. Brought back a lot of nostalgia for me and made my day.

2:42 Yeah, Cry Engine 2 was a great game.

Crysis was the closest thing gamers could get to a interactive CGI trailer back in the day. It lagged quite a bit on my PC but it was beautifull to look at. Had to choose between the game and Dragon Age 2 back in 2012 (5 years later), got crysis, never regret it. "Maximum Game"

I got Crysis right after launch and played it on my 9600XT with a Pentium 4 at the time. Had to play on all low settings at like 800x600 haha but it was still so epic to me. In 08 I decided to build my first really capable machine which had an XFX 9600GT and an E7200 Core 2 Duo. I was able to play Crysis on all High settings at 1280x1024 and let me tell you.. I still till this day haven't experienced anything that epic graphically. I really miss those days.... Where big SLI rigs were the king and channels like Maxishine's were banging....

I remember back in 2009 when I tried to install Crisis on my humble PC and my PC was like, "Are you fucking kidding me?"

The question is... When will Crysis 4 come out???

Crysis (and og Far Cry to an extent, too) was a transformational games IMO ... in the same way Super Mario 64 changed 3D analog movement or FF VII changed cutscenes or CS and SC changed MP. As technically impressive as it was, what made Crysis amazing was not that it looked pretty -- but the level of interactiveness you had with how pretty it was. It was a combination of the lighting with the physics, the shadows with the destructible environment. Crysis was a generational leap in sandbox gameplay freedom. A beautiful but static game like Horizon is a big leap in looking real ... but Crysis was a big leap in FEELING real. A decade later and the raw, unscripted sandbox of shooting or destroying shit in Crysis is STILL more technical and creatively/experimentally fun than most modern open world games and their static environments.

One might say this game caused a "graphical CRYSIS!?!?!?"

The tree cutting was amazing. Never noticed it back when I was playing. Hell, even my dad was hooked in the game back then.

I never heard about Crysis until my best friend got hyped and bought the game right after it got released .Of course the game was running on full settings because he had a crazy PC , a really amazing game .I actually never played because he was so devoted I was just crushing at his place ,eating trash and watching him play,it was like a cinema I swear lmao

We need to bring to bring back the 'But can it run Crysis?' meme. JAMES WATT: This steam engine can allow for a maximised energy output from little energy input. ME: But can it run Crysis? STEVE JOBS' GHOST: The iPhone X comes with 3D rendered emoji's with facial recognition software to... ME: But can it run Crysis? GHENGIS KHAN: The Mongol Empire is superior for its intricate trade network and religious tolerance. ME: But can it run Crysis? GAMERS: This PC can run Overwatch. ME: But can it run Crysis?

_"Why Was Crysis A Big Deal?"_ Answer: Because even NASA couldn't run it at full settings without nearly bankrupting the entire country. lol

Better than Anthem fake E3 presentation😂

Personally I think Crysis was (and possibly still) the pinnacle of gaming. While the story wasn't the absolute best it was good enough to keep me interested and since then many stories have outdone it by far, but the technology, the gameplay, graphics, all of it, it feels like we've taken steps back from there. You look at what it was 10 years ago and compare it to the newest CoD or BF and it keeps up with them in terms of looks. Imagine if that was the industry standard back then where we would be today. It's like everyone else only just started getting to where Crysis was in the last couple of years.

2007, Hell of a Year with Mass Effect and Crysis, two of my favorite franchises started !

The sad thing is the majority of gamers in this day and age won't accept another Crysis. If a game with this much of a tech jump came out today everyone one would be slamming it, calling it poorly optimized and review bombing it because their computers can't run it at ultra settings. That's the reason we'll never have another Crysis. Gamers themselves. Everyone is too self-entitled now.

Easily the best single player shooter i have ever played. Can still remember how excited i was when it came out. Not a lot of games that can compare to that. And after more than 10 years later IT STILL LOOKS AMAZING!

I played through crysis the first time on a netbook with a 9400m. It was the experience that made me into a pc gamer, and should illustrate the point that is often missed. That you didn't need a high end computer to enjoy it, but if you had one, it looked better than anything else.

Atleast trees were distructable

Crysis wasn't that bad when it comes to optimization. Everyone just wanted to run it on the highest settings (including me). Eventually I chose mid to high settings with an early core 2 duo processor (I think 1,8Ghz) and a Geforce 8800 GT. The reached framerate was somewhere around 30-40. And it still looked better than everything else on the market.

The gameplay: "Here's a big ass compound guarded by soldiers, get something out of it, we don't care how you're going to do it, have fun, see you at the next one'. Not the first time this has been done but with all the environmental destruction, and actual freedom of choice it was a heap of fun.

"What are you prepared to sacrifice"

i was one of the lucky person who played crysis in 2008. beck then it was almost impossible to run crysis on a normal computer

I played crysis for the first time in 2008 and I was just speechless when I saw it's graphic. It was nothing but stunning as I couldn't believe in my eyes. It made me progress in game as slow as possible cuz I couldn't let myself pass by those landscapes lol However I stuck in a part of game and wasn't able to finish it. Later found out that it was a bug( that infamous bug after destroying tanks ) but couple of weeks ago I started to play the game once again ( of course with a new system and on highest setting ). Well it's graphic wasn't as impressive as it looked 10 years ago in comparison with modern games but it was still standard. I don't think u can say such a thing for any other game after a decade. But about it's physic... Bet u can't find more than a couple of games with such a physic in present. Just imagine u could break almost any plant with bullet or your fist. I just can say crytech is the most genius developer at least in technical aspects. Just check crysis 3 which was released in 2013. It's still one of the best looking games in the market. I think third party developers must use cryengine instead of unreal cuz it's much much better.

"we haven't had a crisis recently" Is that a secret call for help? Are you okay?

All things considered, it was well optimized. And I loved the playability. in 2008 I was in army training for 11 moths and after it was over, I really wanted to re play Crysis because I felt like real guns were the most similar to what they felt like in crysis even though some crysis weapons were sci-fy. they just nailed the sounds and loudness and animations. guns felt heavy and had a knock back. Also the ammunition felt realistic. This started from far cry 1 and crysis was similar. In other games I didn't feel the distinction between having ammo in the magazin and having ammo in the chamber. It really encouraged you to leave at least one in the chamber when reloading, so you won't have to manually load 1 in the chamber making it slower and lowering the capacity by 1. In other games the reload animation was the same in either case. Also it was the first game where the 1 man VS army scenario seemed viable because you had the advantage of your suite. But at the highest difficulty the balance felt just right. There was another game around that time that was the most innovative game I have ever seen. and didn't care about being able to run on most machines. It was an RTS called Supreme Commander. It pretty much didn't run on any consumer PC when it was released. You had to wait a couple of years. The publisher pressured to rush it but devs refused to compromise their game. It's an awesome game but went under the radar and has no customer support but the community took over balancing it and made third party multiplayer servers and mods. It was really hard on processors. some maps were 80 Kilometers across and you could have 10 players in a match with an upper limit of 2000 units each. every shot was simulated and could be dodged. It had an unique resource system where you didn't need the resources up front to spent them. instead you spent them as you were generating them. A lot of things constantly drained energy. like building things or keeping your radars and sensors and ballistic energy shields up or converting energy directly into matter. you could pause some of these to dedicate your energy income to most important functions like rushing out an anti nuke when you scout enemy building nukes. it had a variety of land air and naval units, weapon systems and defense systems. different artillery, missile, torpedo, laser, anti air, and gun systems with counter measures. Some ships and bigger units had a bunch of systems that all worked independently. There were a lot of cool units from submersible aircraft carriers that held 500 plains to giant spider shaped robots with radar stealth, anti air, torpedoes a huge laser and an ability to walk on the seafloor. From flying saucers to mobile factories that have ballistic energy shields and 4 independent artillery units on them. Every game starts with 1 main guy that obliterates early game units but the goal is to assassinate the main guy and keep yours alive, but you also wanna fight with it until its low on health. You could micro your every unit but also had tools to automate some actions like patrol roots or ferrying units straight from factories to battle by dropships or making your factories build a set of different units on an endless loop. If you like RTS go buy it on steam including the expansion. Both have a single player campaign. But you might need to uninstall any software that controls your systems audio settings (like Realtek audio controller) to have the sound work properly in this game.

Crysis? You mean a benchmark test?

To fix this issue and get another game like Crysis is to buy the games you like and you think it deserve the money and stop spending your money on micro transaction. the world is in our hand and every change is based on our decision not EA or UBI We are ruining the game industry not EA or UBI or any other micro transaction company, they deliver what we want and if we don't buy game based on micro transaction then they will not make one and if we do then they make one its as simple as that, so if we don't support micro transaction then they will not make a micro transaction game, if we don't pirate Single player games without buying it if its good then we don't get any new single player game as simple as that. these company are just bunch of 1000 people and they need to get money from their work and if their work can't make money when their game get pirate at the first hour of the launch then they will make another way to get money for living and thats the shitty MP games with micro transaction.

Crysis, not just a graphics benchmark, also, actually a game!
