As DF video shows, the remaster is based off the then era console version which pruned out a lot of stuff as it didn't need to be or could not be rendered by the consoles. You'd have thought Crytek would have put the missing bits back into the remaster since both PC and console hardware can handle them so it should be universally there but nope, they didn't put them back.

Yep. What a totally bizarre way for them to go about this. Did they think the PC gaming community would not notice....do they even know the PC gaming community

That's the problem, they do know the PC gaming community. Companies pull **** like this because they know enough people will buy into the hype and ***** money all over their half-arsed and half-finished products. It's the reason why so many games release as 'Early Access' these days (yes, people pay full price to beta test a game that may never get a full release) and why CoD is such a money maker.

It's a shambles really. I would be shaking my head in shame if I had pre-ordered this. Hell I don't pre-order full stop really unless it's a game that is by a developer worth their salt and any day 1 issues are ironed out in steady time.

Same. I never pre-order and I very rarely buy into any early access titles. In fact, the only early access title I have is Hell Let Loose and even in it's current state it's far better than a lot of 'fully finished' titles.

Doesn't even make sense that they would base it off that version, the whole reason that version of the game existing on a newer version of the engine was it was the only way they could get it to run on consoles at the time due to it's multicore support. And this version of the game still has the same crap multicore support as the original. It's like they took the console version, slapped it into the original engine and released it.

I had no idea the Ascension mission was taken out and no lean controls. The lean controls were such a great feature.

Some of the same people that gave us the gem that was Haze no doubt

That mission was a PITA with the wonky controls it had.

I'm personally having a blast with the remaster. With the right tweaks it plays and looks absolutely incredible for such an old game. I forgot how much FUN this game is too.

I get why people are mad about certain things but the remaster is still awesome imo.

Really? I thought it was fun.

It was removed from consoles for performance reasons, but in the pc version there was a lot of complaints about the controls back then.

I was really looking forward to that and then I heard about the reviews from an employee in GAME (*takes me back).

cheap as chips on my Argentinian account but from reading on here doesn't seem worth it

What was wrong with the controls?

Complaints about them not being intuitive\responsive, 13 years back but i remember a lot of complaining about them.

Well this thread is reminding me that, despite downloading and installing it at least a dozen times over the years, I never actually got round to playing the original!

Since the remastered disappointed me i've been playing through the original Crysis, still had it installed on my old HDD with some graphical mods from around 2011. Had to do a quick fix to get it running on W10 and since i've been having a blast, just played 4 hours straight and am at the take out the AA guns at the harbor part.
Dont get many good singleplayer FPS like this anymore

will most likely go through warhead and 3 after, 2 was garbage from memory.

I really enjoyed 2 with Maldohd/Blackfire's mods. Well worth checking out if you haven't already.

chroniclard · 22 Sep 2020 at 00:11

Original is the only single player shooter I played through twice! Its great fun.

Tom|Nbk · 22 Sep 2020 at 00:40

Fired up the original tonight, still looks amazing, so ahead of its time its incredible it still rivals some modern games! 13 years on!

If they sort this remaster optimisation, I may be tempted.
