Crysis Remastered is now available for Windows on the
Epic Games Store and for consoles on their respective storefronts. This
offers the chance to return to the jungle in the updated version of Crytek's
first-person shooter. Here's the
Official
Launch Trailer and here's word on how the game has been modernized to take
advantage of modern hardware to make "can it play Crysis?" relevant
again:
“Our aim was to upgrade the visual fidelity for a wide range of PCs
and to use all the technical capabilities of current-gen consoles while offering
the same great gameplay that Crysis is known for,” said Project Lead Steffen
Halbig. “Naturally, we are thrilled to invite a new generation of players to
suit up and experience Crysis, upgraded and remastered to take advantage of
today’s hardware and advances in CRYENGINE.”
Crysis Remastered features the all-action, sandbox, single-player gameplay from
the acclaimed shooter, upgraded with remastered graphics, including high-quality
textures, improved art assets and more. For the first time this console
generation, Crytek’s software-based ray tracing comes to PlayStation 4 Pro and
Xbox One X. On PC, CRYENGINE’s hardware-agnostic technology brings ray tracing
to a wide range of contemporary GPUs. Additionally, Crysis Remastered supports
hardware-based ray tracing using NVIDIA’s VKRay Vulkan extension on launch, and
NVIDIA® DLSS technology will be added soon for the NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX GPU.
In Crysis Remastered, players face down an alien invasion armed with the
powerful Nanosuit, which provides super strength, armor, speed and cloaking
abilities. Choose your own path as you fight through the open world of Crysis,
destroying obstacles, driving vehicles, and using a huge arsenal of modular
weaponry to dominate enemies on ever-changing
battlefields.
