EA could possibly be remastering Crysis

From this redditor had brought up an interesting thing about the direction EA is taking recently. Especially with this recent announcement https://www.resetera.com/threads/ea...s-next-fiscal-year-ends-in-march-2021.150100/

At 2:16 in their engine showcase there are a bunch of hints that they'd be doing a Crysis remaster.
  • The trailer suddenly starts playing First Light by Inon Zur. This is the music that plays in the original Crysis when you walk up out of the jungle and gaze over the cove as the sun is rising. This music belongs to Electronic Arts. EA have the copyright for all Crysis assets.
  • There's a turtle, because of course there is.
  • The camera rises out of the jungle and gazes out over a cove blatantly reminiscent of that from Crysis.
  • Then the nanosuit "crunching" sound plays (sounds like Crysis 3 variant), and the camera cuts to black, with a new actor saying, "CRYENGINE" in the nanosuit voice.

Obligatory "Does Crysis need a remaster when it already looks like a current gen game" comment

it'd be cool if we eventually get a new Crysis game in the style of the original. If this "remaster" turns out to involve massive asset overhauls I'll probably be annoyed, honestly.

Ports involving optimizations to modern hardware make a lot of sense though!

I only want this is they make a completely new Crysis 2 that progresses the story better than actual Crysis 2 which was a totally fun game, I just remember the story being pretty garbage (it's like the made the whole game story revolve around the suit).

Never even tried 3.

Honestly there was a lot of issues with the game and most were overshadowed with "graphics" but this could be pretty damn awesome if it gets brought back

Crysis was a fantastic game, it had awesome freedom of gameplay in how you tackle encounters. It was ahead of its time, actually. And it wasn't just the graphics, but the physics too, which were really impressive. And that actually enhanced the gameplay quite a bit.

Crysis ... a game that really doesn't need one.

But not the Mass Effect trilogy ..

Oh yeah definitely just it had bad pacing issues in the 2nd half and AI was a tad bit stupid, and combat just sorta fell off on that half.

I'm surprised EA and Crytek didn't do a remaster of the trilogy earlier this gen though I'm assuming due to EA's "no remasters" statement

The Crysis trilogy is a perfect candidate for a remaster since the framerate on the console versions stunk especially 2 and 3.

Crysis needs a "remaster" simply so that they multithread. Nowadays running Crysis at high framerates is hard not because of GPU performance but because it just stresses one or two cores of the CPU to the absolute max and it bottlenecks. I remember having drops to like 40 FPS on my i7 6700k + 1070, and of course my GPU usage was low and there was one CPU thread absolutely maxed out

Really enjoyed OG Crysis, at least on PC. Loved how right from the start you could turn around and try to climb the mountain and end up anywhere you wanted on the island and just start shit with people before you were "supposed to" get there.

They shouldn't bother if the remaster doesn't give a 2080 TI trouble in 1080p. A lot of the fun of the original Crysis was waiting each hardware cycle for a hardware combo that didn't have to compromise.

I'd rather do they Crysis 2 or 3 instead then, more fun.

I would love for it to be true, since the game still runs pretty poorly on modern CPUs because Crytek incorrectly predicted the course they would take.

The game could look exactly the same and I would be happy if I could run it at more than 40fps at 1080p.

Mass Effect runs great on PC and Xbox

Crysis is ancient and needs a rework on how it's handled by modern CPUs.

It's more that people just want mass effect ports not that it needs a remaster.

Honestly, I think the ME trilogy would benefit more from transitioning to UE4 and a little nip/tuck instead of a straight port over.

Crysis still holds up remarkably well, outside of some elements, even today.
