Crytek seems to be teasing Crysis 2 Remastered (UPDATE: Crysis 3 as well)

I love Crysis 2. I would love to be proven wrong by replaying a remaster though. kinda like how i now think Crysis 1 is trash after playing the remaster after a decade of defending the original game.
I'm a really big fan of Crysis 2. It's not that large open world of the first Crysis, but to me, it really felt more like a spiritual successor to Half Life 2 than almost any other FPS I've ever played. So that really hit with me. I've never gone back and replayed it since it was first released, but I did play it three times in a row straight through when it first came out, and I can count on one hand how many times I've ever done that with any game.
Crysis 2 is not only the best Crysis game, it's also the most technically impressive one.
I recently replayed it and it's an incredible FPS. The only thing that holds it back is the AI which is very bad, but other than that it's all around superb.

You're sure about that? I had both on Xbox 360 and they were hardly "impressive" considering the years they were released in. PC versions should be a tad better than console versions but these two were made with consoles in mind, I don't think neither were better than Crysis 1 PC.
Now that would be something. If Hunt: Showdown is any indication, the Cry engine is still capable of producing incredible visuals, and the Crytek team still ridiculously talented when it comes to gameplay and atmosphere.
Is this the game where the Jedi powers started and he wouldn't kneel down to pick weapons anymore?
Hopefully they give 2 the time it needs so it releases in good shape instead of rushing it out before it's ready like they did with the first remaster. I'll be buying it if they do a good job with it.
Seriously, Warhead was great. Crysis 2 was just so generic and uninspiring. Never even bothered with 3.
I'd be very curious about a Crysis 3 remaster on next gen, given that I still see that game often used for benchmarks on the PC side, and tbh, it still looks fuckin gorgeous on the PC.
While a downgrade from Crysis 1, I actually think Crysis 2 was underrated when it came out. It does feel a lot more like typical AAA shooters of the era, but its level design and combat encounters were actually better than almost all of them.
And at the very least it makes sense to re-release Crysis 2 and 3 on consoles because of the massive gulf between their PC versions and their original console versions. I think the consoles versions (or at least Crysis 3 console) had settings below the lowest PC settings. Crysis 2 was one of the first stand-out DX11 games and represented an early point where PC really started to pull away from those consoles.
My real "next gen" moment of that era was when I hooked my PC up to a TV and played DX11 Crysis 2 at 60fps with a controller. It really did feel like an almost generational difference compared to typical PS3 games.

Yep, me too!
This is the one I've been waiting for. I know it's BC on Xbox but that version is still fairly rough.
Crysis 2 is still pretty good. If you love Roland Emmerich style disaster porn you'll like Crysis 2. It's just not as open ended as the first game.
The story starts to go way up its own ass here though. Even if you played the first game it can still be pretty confusing.

This video doesn't have any, but Crysis 3 on Xbox 360 had severe framerate drops, especially early in the game (that helicopter fight was really bad). Not sure how Switch remaster would handle that, but considering Crysis 1 remaster still had some framerate problems, I'm not hopeful about 3.
Answer to your question is: Doom 3. It had enough graphical improvements to call it a seventh generation game. And to top that it was 60 fps at native resolution.
i'm dumbfounded seeing people actually like crysis 2. when i played it in 2011 i thought it was ass. am i living in an alternate reality?
Underrated game. I hope its better than crysis remastered as it actually looked worse than the original in some aspects.
edited for what I assumed was clear, but point acknowledged
It was clear by the way. It's just that I personally dislike when people imply that a game is not really a "part of the franchise" just because it's not exactly the same as the prequels. Crysis 2 is definitely a different direction, but one still very much connected with the Crysis indentity.
Crysis 2 with ray traced reflections yes.
Also helps that it's not a game hopelessly stuck in a single threaded world.

It's a pipe dream to hope they remove gamespy and just leave a generic server model be nice to play with friends again.
C3 and Warhead deserve attention and they really should be fixing up C1 remastered as well.
How are the finding time and teams to deal with all the games they do, I thought they were having financial problems.
