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

What ended up happening to CryTek?
A few years ago Eurogamer and others ran all these stories about how they were missing paychecks, sometimes for months at a time. That they had a business model based on founding studios for tax cuts. Expanding at a rapid rate, and having to sell off studios. There was some talk about how one of the brothers was a terrible manager. Projects getting cancelled. They were apparently getting sued by the guys behind Star Citizen. I remember they licensed off a build of CryEngine to Amazon. There was talk of them being investigated by the German government... then nothing.
I know they put out a VR game since then, and they had some PvPvE game... and there was the first FarCry remaster...
But, how are they doing financially?.. are their staff getting paid yet?.. did they end up getting investigated?.. are the Yerlies still in charge?

They scaled down, Cevat left company and his brother took over, they released Hunt Showdown that was success so it looks like that they are doing ok these days.
Given how much of Crysis 3 takes place in knee-deep water or around foliage it would be a great game to implement ray-tracing features in.
I mean, it looks really good. But this seems insane to compare it to Crysis 3. 3 has bigger, more expansive areas, while still having better detail, more foliage, better lighting, and just more in general going on at once, on ps360 too. Like, they didn't even have to pull it down to match Crysis 2's graphics.
The art style is different, and I understand preferring one over the other, but there just isn't any world where 3 isn't vastly more impressive than 2. It does way more things and all of them better.
Um. Why are you saying "considering the year."
They're impressive considering the hardware they were on. Give it a resolution boost and 3 looks better than most games that came out on the console generation afterwards.
We really gonna encourage remasters this generation just for better reflections? I just wish Crytek could make something new instead.
Really one of the most underrated multiplayer games of the ps360 gen. The maps had verticality and good flow, the skill ceiling was high, the guns were fairly balanced, and the perks were legit.
I'm sure they won't include it in the remaster though, cause why would they.

As i said above if they went Metro Exodus EE route and did fully RayTraced releases it would be far more impressive.
Really enjoyed this at launch because of the multiplayer and the campaign was actually pretty fun.
This is all I care about to be honest.
The first 3 games don't need to be remastered on PC. They all look great still.
As a PC owner I agree with this. But to be fair the console only people missed out on the maxed out Crysis experience for far too long and these remasters are good for them.
I don't think Warhead got a console release and I assume all of these will be based on the old console versions. So yes, it will be ignored.
Seems like these are being made with consoles in mind, where the versions of any crysis game are not ideal.
eh, just remaster the trilogy and then make Crysis 4 the technical tour-de-force. building off old code will always hold back these games and doing all three wouldn't be feasible
Neat, 2 and 3 still look and run great on PC, but I wouldn't mind replaying them on the Switch.
Release the Tesselated Toad!

Hell yea id be down
Had a ton of fun with MP Beta back in the day although I didnt play too much since none of my other friends owned the game
Honestly though I know people love the other ones but man I really enjoyed 2, Never played 1 tho was thinking of giving the remaster a spin this weekend
Need to double check if the remaster was any good tho kinda tuned it out when it released cuz I was busy

Some people here might think Gunney is a bit of a ponce but if you're decently into Crysis and ya'll havent seen NanoSuitNinja's channel - you should check it out...
Will make a good visual representation of the skill ceiling you can get too in these games. Especially if you go back and watch the first games videos. The man makes it work. Crytek made such pretty things....

This one could definitely use a remaster, I tried playing it a couple of months ago with my EA Play trial and it had horrible fps drops, low FOV and weird mouse movement/acceleration so I won't mind getting it up to today's standards. Graphics are still great though.
Remastering is done by Saber Interactive, Crytek themselves are doing new games.
teasing crysis 3

2 and 3.
Lawd. Ok Crytek, if it means Crysis 4 then yeah I'll get them both on PC and Switch. You know if there is a Switch version.
