I remember when "Can it run Crysis?" was the most important question when buying or building your gaming PC. Crysis was a benchmark for the almost a decade after its release.
so true pal,the first and only game that make my to build new powerfull PC,only to play that game ,i love it to pieces,my story start in Crysis2 pirate version,but one i realize how good it is i bought maximum version of Crysis and full Crysis 2,still have it on my PC,its a shame multiplayer on Wars is not available anymore
@@moby752211 I did the same thing as well. Got the pirate version and finished it only to realize how extremely good the game is and then bought the full version. Crysis 2 was an FPS game way over its league compared to all the other FPS shooters at that time. From gameplay to story all the way to graphics and detail, just so perfect.
It's not in EA hands and it never was. EA was publisher. Far Cry and Crysis were developed by Crytek (German Studio, thus why engine is called CryEngine). The studio is not dead. They last game is Hunt: Showdown. ;)
@@Jacen436987 You just had to switch in properties compatibility to Windows 7, that's all it requires for such games to work better if you are experiencing issues on latest Win.
@@ivan-Croatian I'll just leave this here for old times sake th-cam.com/video/I6RyUWgZb64/w-d-xo.html 2:24 , Just an amazing series of games.. It was an awesome awesome game.
Crysis pushed the entire genre forward by 10 years and forced Sony/Microsoft and multiple graphics card developers to keep up. It had MASSIVE effects on the industry.
@@PaulRizzo504 I agree with you, , ,When CRYSIS was released, even the Top-On-Line-Systems with high-end graphic are struggling when Crysis is played on them with maximum graphic settings during its days. ..
No, it did not. 1) Anything but armor or stealth is unviable 2) AI is quite bad 3) Balance is also sometimes a flop, with late game heavy gear koreans tougher than Nanosuit koreans 4) The alien fights were quite bad
Crysis just recently becamse 10 years old. And after many people revisited it, pretty much everyone agreed and came into the conclution that the graphics still looks *MUCH* better compared to many recent games.
Yes, however as far back as the GTX580 - Crysis 1 was showing its age fairly reasonably. But it's still gorgeous, without a doubt and despite it finally showing its age... it is still worth the experience.
Laureano Alfaro I have to disagree with you on that, I never played multiplayer (I’m not a big fan of multiplayer (competitive at least) games) but I played all the games single player. While it offered some new concepts, I never felt like it was a great game worthy of high praise. To me, the reason it got talked about so much, was how great the graphics are, and those graphics still stand up even today. 2 & 3 did better for the story compared to 1, but they just never felt like great games the way uncharted or last of us felt
@JS 09 Do you only seek out information that aligns with your own beliefs? Or do you research all sources of information before deciding what the truth is?
Except anyone could run it. It amazes me that this lie persists to this day. The first time I played the Crysis demo was on my brother's 8500 GT. The 8500 GT was not even a mid-range card, it was a _low-end_ card. A _very_ weak card in 2007. And yet I played all the through the demo without any problem and loved every second. That PC had a dual-core CPU, but Crysis would have run just as well on a Pentium @ 2.8GHz. Did I play maxed out at high resolution and 60 fps? _Of course not._ But I played it, without any problems at all. And when I finally built my first gaming PC in 2008, I played Crysis _maxed out_ on a GTX 260 less than a year after release.
@@bricaaron3978 one thing about the crysis games is that it is extremely friendly to low end pc, even the low settings look stunning but still maintain enough fps
@@tuocbui *"one thing about the crysis games is that it is extremely friendly to low end pc"* Right. And that's one major difference between the true PC games that were released pre-2008 and the PC ports/versions released since: Settings actually made a huge _difference._ Over the past decade, games have often had many settings which have little benefit and little effect on performance, or a big effect on performance but little benefit. And my favorite innovation of all: the Fake Setting. Yes, this is a real thing. Anyone can test this for himself, but there have been many games with settings--sometimes it's Textures, sometimes Shadows, or AF, etc.--that literally have NO effect no matter what the setting is. These are tossed in to fool PC players into thinking they're getting a proper PC release, instead of the usual toss-port with only Resolution and one or two other options. Talk about dishonest, lol!
ironically quake 1 was much more demanding for its time than crysis was. the best computers ran the demo01 benchmark at 15fps average in fullscreen 320x200. my last-year-high-end 486 dx4 100 ran it at 7.5fps. half as fast as its pentium counterpart. i had to run the game in a tiny window to get a barely playable 20fps average. quake only ran actually well when i got my pentium 233 mmx in 1997 then and my voodoo2 in 1998. and it was STILL more demanding than its sequel.

@@JonasRosenven Wrong methodology. It's like with real life - if someone does something good, you praise them, if not, your make sure it is known. If they made a good game, you praise them and buy it, to show them they have done something worthy and good. If not, do not buy it, it will show them that it's a bad one. etc. Crysis is a great game without problems, and they must be rewarded with it. Crysis is not really under EA, it's just Crysis was distributed/released through EA. Crytek is private, unlike DICE, which is fully under EA.
@@BIOSHOCKFOXX As far as the Crysis series goes I think they were great too. I still think gamers would be better off without EA/Ubisoft though. If we were talking about companies that tried to take a game in a new direction that just didn't resonate well with the players I wouldn't have this extreme opinion. EA and Ubisoft seems like they deliberately and constantly are testing the limit of just how much they can get away with in terms of buggy, lazy titles instead of actually making a product that is genuinely good. I'm not going to support a lazy, greedy company just because it once released a great title for someone else.
@@BIOSHOCKFOXX Your method would be sound, but at this point it's part of the so-called "utopia"(which is just a cool way of saying "please stay put and don't do anything about being abused, thank you"). Corporations don't see context, they see numbers. Big publishers are corporations like any other, if not worse due to lack of regulation. And Crysis games are _published_ by EA, meaning that all profits go to them first and then Crytek gets their cut.
I dont know who is gayest... I redownloaded crysis 3 in 2017 (i had it since 2013 but i didnt play very much of it), and i was having alot of fun in the multiplayer, and then i sent an email to crytek asking them to make a new crysis game, i sugested doing it in the island, i think. I was a great BF4 player, specially as sniper... in crysis i was getting destroied every game, guys used the suit alot better than me, but i still had some fun. Now i dont even know how to play any game, excluding the few times i plaied on my laptop in school (net sucks there), i havent plaied a game in, more than a year.
Crysis 2 (and 3) is still good. But too narrow compared with Crysis 1 because the level design was optimized to run on consoles. Blame consoles for making Crysis 2 and 3 level become smaller
Having played Crysis 2 and 3 SP this week, I have to say: They are even better than I remember. Crysis 2 has a great story, awesome music, and Crysis 3 looks awesome with great gameplay. They will be remembered.
I've come to accept that Steam cant be my sole distribution platform for PC games anymore. I use Origin and Microsoft store/xbox a lot as well though not anywhere near as much as steam. and Uplay just for some reason have to be there even though all their games are on steam. lmao. MS store /XBOX is doing great things, but they need work. the store itself isnt very good, and the XBOX app is a bit of a mess and even more so is the UI on the xbox hardware itself. its mindboggingly stupid and messy. But Play anywhere is nice, Microsoft releasing all their games to both PC and XBox is nice, and I am quite tempted to give gamepass a shot as it seems to be a great value to me. its a double edge sword. its great for PC gamers, but for xbox itself I find that the only noteworthy redeeming factors of the current Xbox'es is 4K blu-ray playback, gamepass and Backwards compatibility with older xbox'es. And ofc Xbox one exclusive games before play anywhere really became a thing, like all 4 of those games lmao. As for Crysis 3, I remember at the time I was let down that it wasnt on steam. As annoying as that is origin isnt to much of a hassle to launch and just find the game you want to play so I am not all that bothered anymore, but I feel like all their games could easily just have been on steam as they once were. Microsoft I understand because they have the xbox brand and play anywhere along with gamepass that makes a good cohesive entity that is not really compatible with steam as a seperate service, but they got to fix their mess of a store and the xbox app. And the XBOX UI itself on the console is the worst. I loathe the ui on my Xbox One S, it used to be decent at least back in the 360 days and now its just a nonsensical incomplete mess. Steam have just stayed solid. if it aint broke, dont fix it.
What is so sad about Crysis is how it never had to die. We see that Far Cry has survived by staying unique in its open world approach to first person shooters. Crysis could still be relevant, but they kept trying to simplify it for consoles. Instead of keeping it open world, they contracted the level design. Instead of embracing the strategy brought by each of the different armor modes, they combined them together. It didn't help that the story was a little out there and harder to follow than it should have been.
It's true though that the open world feel does kinda grind to a halt somewhat once one ends up inside the alien vessel, and later in the frozen landscape. Still, it's better than Crysis 2.
I didn't get it what are you trying to saying? if Crysis 2 would have been like Crysis 1 then it's a bad thing? besides in the 2011 xbox 360 and and PS3 were showing their technical limitations and PC hardware were evolving. but Crytek wanted quick cash instead of innovation. Console is the platform where the cash came from. so they have to make the game which is compatible with aging console hardware. that's why we got a corridor shooter instead open world sandbox. we never got a true sequel of crysis 1. instead we got a call of duty rip-off.
Please do a "The Rise and Fall of Mafia". Similarly to the other game series you usually talk about in these videos, the Mafia series also had amazing potential and while flawed delivered a unique first game with a well written story and realistic game mechanics. Then it fell hard and after a period of "development hell" for Mafia 2 and then Mafia 3 it turned to an awkward and buggy gta clone. I think it would make a great case study. Btw great video as always, keep up the good work
You must have very limited knowledge of videogames if that's your opinion. It wasn't a catastrophic failure, it was buggy and sometimes ugly, but it was still fun and had some of the best cutscenes of that year.
*Amazing! The amount of work is just shocking! My only question is how did you find all that super-rare footages from 2000s and tech-demos now? I'm a huge fan of Crysis series and many pieces of this were new for me. Liked and subbed!*
I'll answer this bec. I used to haunt main crysis forums in the years before two came out (forgot the name), and thought the same thing about these kinds of clips at one point. All the hard to find, old clips were constantly shared within the forum, so I imagine the same is true today, you need to lurk communities to find them.
If you are a huge fan, check out my other comment, let me quote "And because Crysis 1 is such a great game, we from germancrysis.com are hosting new online servers with our mod again since YEARS now. Our mod and servers are free to play and download, and work with both Steam and CD versions on 64 and 32 bit.

Yeah cause im sure crysis 1 was very cheap and easy to make compared to its consolised sequel. Piracy is nothing new and it doesnt even affect sales. I know you have a hate boner against PC for some reason but its not the PC's fault the sequels became watered down compared to the first game.
I have a really strong bond to the original Far Cry. It wasn't really a great game, but the engine was pretty incredible - and the really amazing part was that it sort of appeared out of nowhere, at a time when gamers were really drooling over the "next gen" games that had already been on the horizon for years - Half Life 2 and Doom 3, among others. But there it was - out of nowhere, Far Cry looked like it was half a generation ahead of THOSE next gen titles... And to top it all off, it actually released before any of them (Far Cry released in March, Doom 3 in August, and HL2 in November). 2004 was one heck of a year for PC gaming. But that's not really why I have such a strong bond with Far Cry. I used one of the early Far Cry demos, which by mistake or otherwise, included the full CryEDIT editor - as part of a presentation I did at school. The presentation was about game physics - and I fondly remember building a physics sandbox in the demo. Stacking barrels and boxes, spawning all sorts of objects and such, so that I could show off how advanced game physics had become, using a live demo. Brought my gaming PC to school and everything (because of course, no machine at school stood a chance at even loading the game). I remember even learning about some of the scripting tools in the game, to create AI groups and paths and so on. So, in short - it's a really weird feeling watching this video, and remembering how this CryEngine piece of gaming history got started. And to think I used the engine as a class demo, before the game was even out. I'm feeling old.... Edit: OH AND ALSO, the Fry Cry multiplayer was *the bomb* at LAN parties. We had a local annual LAN party, and we would play Far Cry (original, no mods) Assault maps. We even had a tournament each year. Something about the Assault game mode, and that freaking beeping sound when the flag was about to be captured... It stirred people into a frenzy. So much yelling and so much panic and so much fun during those tournaments. The multiplayer was broken in a lot of ways, but we didn't care - we kept playing that game until like 2010, becase nothing else managed to pull people in quite the same way. And as an added bonus, the game's multiplayer was always quite obscure, so nobody was amazing at it - unlike CoD or CS, where there was always a handful of people at the party that would just be so much better at the game than everyone else, that it wasn't really fun to play. Far Cry was the great equalizer.
I didn't know anything about Far Cry before Far Cry 3, finding out just now that the original had to do with mutants more than it did terrorist groups or extremists. Didn't know that it started out with the plot of a 90's Sci-Fi movie. I said out loud to myself "THIS is what the original Far Cry was about!?" Having experienced the opposite just now, what were your reactions to Far Cry as the series progressed, as it became more grounded in reality and lost the original idea?
Thanks for the video, I was hoping you guys would cover this one. I have a humble suggestion for a future installation of Rise and Fall: The Prince of Persia series. Please? :D
I don't care what anyone says I loved each release of Crysis. Warhead was awesome too. I wish Crysis 4 comes out someday and we'll get to see some sick graphics. I can only imagine how it'll look.
@@TheColdBloodedGamerS What they did? name what they did exactly... Crytek is not part of EA, they were only distributing the game, because Crytek is private, unlike DICE. EA didn't had a forceful hand on Crytek like they have on DICE.
@@ferretking137 That's it? It's not "game destroyed by EA"... because game wasn't destroyed by EA, pirates did, as it was mentioned here. Main thing was piracy, even director of Crytek said it as a reason why he wont focus on PC first like they did with Crysis 1. P.S. (it's "than" and just "gamers"*).
Just finished Crysis 3 yesterday and loved every second of it, still hoping we'll see Crysis 4 one day. :( Side note: Crysis 2 and 3 soundtracks are absolutely amazing.
I liked the story of each one. Crysis 2 is my favorite, but it's not challenging, especially after finishing the game once you practically become Godlike even at the hardest mode. Enjoyable, but too easy.
I played Crysis 1 on an Intel HD 3000 with everything set to medium except for shadows (low) and motion blur turned all the way to max(slider) It was averaging 41FPS
@@jackychang9148 Most impressive I've seen: someone made it run on a printer. There was no screen to play on, it literally printed each frame out. You just used menu navigation buttons to move and shoot.
Install it? It never left my PC. And I just played this game 8 hrs ago. Cleaned up the 1st 3 stages only using the pistol as a primary weapon. I only play the first 6 stages of the game, were you fight human enemies. The many ways you can approach/move each stage(non-linear), gives an extraordinary chance of replay. Have you tried killing the 4 armored soldiers in the cemetery, in complete stealth? Without alerting others to your presence, and not having them fire a single shot?
@@peposo7 I consider it a failure to not kill everything in stealth and get shot at.. I remember the 'valley scene' where NK troops starts advancing from other end towards you. Man that was some mental gymnastics to pull off. Camo off, fire headshot, camo on, spare energy to into hiding to charge energy and repeat.. It helped that they were so spread out. I don't think they ever got to shoot at me if i remember correctly. Played all 3 games last year one after another. Hate the parts where it's impossible to clear everything when aliens spawn continuously more and more... Stealth is the only way to go :D
Crysis 1 had the wow factor, the graphics, the atmosphere, the AI. It was a nice, immense experience, especially on delta (hardest) difficulty it was tactical, it was so exciting, so delicate. You weren't a superhero, you were just a special force guy with an enhanced suit, but not immortal. You had to be very cautious, plan every move, had to use the environment, the suits abilities. It was a very decent game. After that i tried crysis 2... compared to its predecessor, it was shallow, CoD-ish, EA/hollywood crap, it was a major disappointment...
The thing is, even the first game went shallow and linear after you enter the mines all the way to the aircraft carrier. The immenseness and open world style was only in the jungle.
I never saw a "CoD-ish" in C2. The CoD games are normally "Rail- Shooters". Comparing any FPS you don't like with CoD is the most trash argument ever exists
Even 2 was good for realz just think 1 ouwowed everyone and made a lasting impression im a cod guy and in no way was it codish but its own thing and better
Crysis 1 was pretty fun. Crysis 2 was a really compelling exam of the separation of a human into mind, body and conscience. Crysis 3 was beautiful, pointless, corny cheese. the ALPHA CEPH!!!!!!!salkkjdth;
+Cynical Joker Alcatraz is killed in the beginning. His mind and conscience are eliminated, leaving only his body. A body alone is useless. No direction, no purpose. But it does have form. Prophet finds him as he's dying, carries him away and puts him in the nano suit. At that point, Alcatraz the body gains the suit's intelligence. At this point, Alcatraz regains the mind. The suit's AI tells him where to go and what to do. With a mind, his body now has direction. Over the course of the story, it's revealed that Prophet's consciousness was left behind in the suit when he took it off. Something to do with the mind/body symbiosis that characterizes the relationship between suit and wearer. Certain events allow that residual consciousness to awaken inside the suit's AI. Prophet is now in the player's ear, telling them why they need to complete the mission (and when they need to go off-mission). Prophet is conscience, and he gives Alcatraz purpose. Body/mind/conscience. Form/direction/purpose. That's a complete human, right there. We lack form, we're an empty exosuit with an AI fruitlessly buzzing at nothing. We lack direction, we're a form in which no consciousness can awaken in the first place (Prophet existed in the "deep layers" of the suit's AI). We lack purpose, we're just a physical form running at mission objectives unquestioningly. I thought that was pretty profound. The first game, by comparison, is just regular alien sci fi with some light political thriller mixed in. Meanwhile, the third one is a saturday morning cartoon about hunting bows and the alpha ceph.
Crysis was never meant to be open world nor should it ever be. We already have enough game companies jumping onto that bandwagon already. While Crysis 2 was the weakest game out of the three, it was still much better than most trash we got back then and are getting now. Graphics will only take you so far. Crysis 1 was incredible and way ahead of its time, but with all the console peasants around it was inevitable that the next games be held back in that regard. The most important thing will always be gameplay.
I think the fun came from the open-ended gameplay of Crysis 1. Yeah it was "open world" but even if it was a bit less open the gameplay would have shined through. It was truly revolutionary in terms of gameplay and visuals. Even today when I play the game I'm honestly surprised how well the game looks. Sometimes it's downright beautiful when the moon is shining down upon you or when the sun is coming down. You know those types of games that look so good you just stop and look around? That happens a lot to me in Crysis. The story and characters weren't amazing (I think Crysis 3 was the best in that regard) but it was still extremely fun.
Crysis 3 was and still is one of my top 5 favourite games, I had such a good experience with both the single and multiplayer when the game released, I still go back and play it every year
Crysis 1, WH, and 2 were some of the best games i have played in my life, and i didnt play Crysis 3 just because my laptop wont run it. Maximum Strength. Maximum Armor. Maximum Speed. Maximum #FuckEA
Warhead was sick, best part was shooting down flying alien exoskeletons with PAX and that big ass walking exoskeleton or gunship/tank. I just wish we could've driven mobile AA guns, but oh well, we were still able to shoot with them.
@@astanisystems Dont forget the MOAC! Precisely controlling the heat of the weapon so it just keeps on firing a devastating barrrage of icicles was extremely satisfying, too.
Play Crysis 3 if you get the chance - it's a step up in every regard from Crysis 2, and it really wraps up the series well, tying up loose ends nicely and has a very satisfying, almost tear-jerkingly sentimental ending. Amazing soundtrack too - I have the Title Theme and Ending Theme (piano overture) on my phone to listen to in my car sometimes. SOOO good.
@Ken narville Not saying the game-play was great; I really hated that they COD'ized the whole thing because that's what was popular at the time and because they were sacrificing their resource-heavy sandbox mantra so they could optimize it for stupid shitty consoles. I loved going nuts with the console commands in Crisis 1 and Warhead, the physics were so wonky and fun! For Crysis 3, I just meant to say it was a good wrap-up plot-wise, had great graphics, nice music/atmosphere, etc. but yeah, it was a completely different beast than the first two (the original and Warhead). Much less replay value for sure, way more on-the-rails; I've actually been playing the original and Warhead recently again, just because they're so freeform and chaotic and fun even 10 years later.
Wait till EA sells it. I could only imagine what EA would do to Crysis with their obsessions with live services and forced online modes. Poor Bioware is dying a slow death right now because of this.
I played Crysis 1 graphically modded on PC a few years ago and it blew me away. Crysis 2 was really solid. But Crysis 3 just really did it for me, I thought it was PERFECT. Relentless, violent as hell, and such a good story, excellent really. But the best thing of all, the voice acting and the writing was just AMAZING! "They USED to call me Prophet, REMEMBER ME". DAMN. I know the story tied itself together and ended beautifully but man I would really love for them to make a fourth Crysis where you go to the Alien world as the new Prophet.
NEMRCOMEDY They're all great games. It's such a shame that PC elites had to ruin everything just because they coukdnt stomach the idea of console "casuals" getting Crysis games. I've only ever played any Crysis game on my PC, but just because 2 and 3 came out on consoles as well does absolutely nothing to diminish the games on PC.
I LOVE the first crysis. Still think it's one of the best shooters ever. And I totally disagree with the usual criticism about the linear action of its last third. I remember how mind blowing was to leave the alien ship and see everything frozen and the aliens were unleashed. The contrast with the first two thirds made the gameplay fresh and, most importantly, the narrative richer and more engaging.
I agree, except the actual gameplay with the aliens is terrible. That was flat-out a mistake. Crytek violated a few basic rules of shooter design, the biggest one being that enemies need to have satisfying *feedback* when you hit them. It's just no fun shooting metal casings that don't react to being hit in any way. I admit, it didn't bother me a whole lot on my first few playthroughs, when the game was still fresh, but over the years, I came to realize why so many people didn't like the later parts of the game. Overall, Crysis is the best shooter ever made. I feel genuinely sorry for people who have never played the real game--the PC game--and think it's just a "tech demo". No shooter has better movement and weapon mechanics, and better overall feel. Cevat Yerli is a big, fat, greedy butthead.
I have mixed feelings on the aliens. On the one hand they really FELT alien. They really felt like they came from another world and were there for unknown reasons. That aspect of it was perfect Fighting the aliens wasn't as satisfying as fighting the Koreans though, at least not the little aliens. Blowing the fliers out of the air was fun, especially when they land somewhere and blow up. I wish the final third had been a fighting retreat from the Koreans and the bigger aliens while they fight each other. The lack of satisfaction from killing the little ones wouldn't matter as much if the Koreans were fighting them and you. A three way fight would've capitalized on the open world shooter feel of the game, rather than minimizing it
Love Crysis series, every year I replay this franchise , CryEngine at least for me is the most beautiful engine (in the right hands) I will never lose hope of seeing new Crysis game.
@@lordmasterization and I say, for this time EA has nothing to do with this cause they had no forceful hand on Crytek cause they are private. Unlike DICE
Got mine right on top of my shelf. Only wish that those that pirated the game also bought it. That goes for all the entries, no just the first one. Who knows maybe then we would've had a 4th game.

I loved all the crysis games, they will always have a special place in my heart. Crysis 2 is my favorite game in the series. I'll never forget seeing the massive ships and building all around making you feel tiny, but the nanosuit giving you enough power that you felt like a god. Thank you crytek for all the memories
Couldn't agree more.. yes Crysis 1 and Warhead were technologically more impressive for their time, but as for sheer enjoyment, Crysis 2 takes the cake. The suit is actually fun to use and doesn't run out of energy after you so much as fart too loudly, the verticality and setting lends itself to far more interesting combat scenarios unlike 300 moronic soldiers walking and crouching towards you in a straight line every 25 meters shouting classics like "Kiiii Hiiiim", "Mouu aut" and "Hekky Shekkky" which 'til this day make roughly zero sense. Let's not forget Crysis 2 also had an amazing main theme thanks to none other than Hans Zimmer. It just felt more polished, more grand and way more fun.
Their aim was making crytek engine like the unreal engine. They wanted to be a tech/engine developing R&D company rather than a simple game studio, selling/leasing/licensing their engine and tech to 3rd parties.
I really like crysis 2 and 3s multiplayer way more the crysis 1 and warheads, I also liked the story for crysis 2 and 3 more , but the game play and level design of the single player campaign for crysis 1 and warhead were very much superior
Crysis 1 multiplayer was pretty fun to play. And it was much more dynamic than the one showed in this video. The problem was it was very difficult since you had to struggle a bit to be completely able to control the Nanosuit abilities in the multiplayer, you could combine the abilities and “create” new ones. It was a hardcore multiplayer. But it really was fun. It was the best multiplayer I ever played. And I played many: Medal of Honor, Battlefield 2 & 3, COD, etc.. The_North
@@Gnarrkhaz That part is not true... Crysis 3 is the best looking one graphically. Just compare them, if you can't admit that, you are blind. They used a newer engine for last one.
"Optimizing" for consoles in Crysis 2 & 3 are the real downfall of this beloved original PC exclusive series. Not only that, instead keeping the open world level design & sense of freedom in Far "Cry" & "Cry"-sis, they did the ultimate typical mainstream shenanigans with corridor levels COD clone for Crysis 2-3 under "EA." Meanwhile Far Cry's Ubisoft keeping the open world aspect with its dunia engine, made FC2. It become a cult classic like original. Then, FC3 became a huge success 'cause it's the only "open world" fps game at the time for every platforms.
Cynical Joker idk about you but in my own experiences it didn't feel like open ended at all (maybe because how the mission/target locations placed?). It felt just like linear Crysis 2 but with bigger area. What people expected back then is more open world like Far Cry & Crysis, especially on how people were loving FC2 & FC3 open world level design with sandbox. Even the car driving in Crysis 3 was very limited in certain mission if I remembered.
Same thing happened to F.E.A.R 2 and 3. Instead of sticking to the brilliant design of the first game, they downgraded it for the consoles. I guess from the time of when Call of Duty was at it's most popular, they decided to copy the gameplay. Why do developers have to seriously have to downgrade their games to fit the console audience, I'm sure they wouldn't mind a PC shooter on their console.
To me the original Crysis wowed me out of my mind when the Onslaught mission started. I mean, the game felt already huge, but that colossal battle between tanks was hands on *the best and most ominous FPS sequence I've ever experienced.* And chopper-killer grenades! Crysis is a must play to every person gaming on PC, CVarGroups and all. It's that extraordinary.
The most depressing thing about this era of gaming is hearing about all of these amazing studios being procured by huge publishers and then forced to work on data mining, customer deceiving free-to-play mobile-esque games.
@@mrknockknock1 Do a lot of people still play Crisis 1 and 2 did both of those games have multiplayer. I never played Crisis I never played Far Cry either. I'm sure there are game made by the companies that made those I never even heard of.
I would buy it to see how good the new graphics is. The mods are to complicated to instal and finally lt looks noot realy good with this over-blooming Effekt
Im not lying when I say I cried when the crysis remastered was announced... Crysis 3 introduced me to the game and I fell in love with it. I would come home, turn on my ps3 and play it all day. A year later I would receive a pc and play crysis and crysis 2 which I both loved. I love everything about this game series. The suit, the guns, *THE MUSIC* , and the lore. IM READY FOR THIS REMASTER!!!
If they don't melt graphic cards doing so Because even tho this video doesn't tell anything about it, I feel like Crisis 3 also sold less because it was just to ressources demanding for its time. Look at the rain effects, and the size of the levels. Most pc users didn't have a machine capable of rendering that.
@@Sir_Bucket I really feel this is overstated, I played all three (not warhead) and even though I would consider graphics when buying machines through years as someone who liked playing and had a young son that was crazy about video games, I really never had the luxury of splashing on top notch equipment and would always purchase/build machines that were just above average both in terms of price and capability...
Hans has explored more videogames than just the Crysis series. I remember reading an article explaining that he wanted to do away with the Superhero movie genre and branch more into videogames as they have a lot more creative freedom.
FolstrimHori, Egh, I'd think otherwise. Crysis 2 has a much more memorable soundtrack with iconic pieces and themes throughout. SOS New York, Battery park, the Introduction/main theme, Epilogue, Contamination, just to name a few, these songs are all so easily discernible and stuck with me. I've played through C1 and Warhead a couple of time and can't for the life of me remember a single song. Not to say it's an awful soundtrack, but perhaps not as focused as its successors.
@@Tassadart2 well i both like and hate them in different ways but i still think crysis 3 graphics were better than anyother FPS i have played till now....
No, it's fact. Larger areas, better power suit, better gameplay. Even the multiplayer was much better in Crysis 1/warhead. Crysis 2 plays out like a CoD game. It's typical, boring. There's a reason Crysis was so popular. Did you not watch the video? Because*
Yes but there are still people who enjoy it better, it isbt fact those are just features that in your opinion make it better. I like crysis 1 better, too, its just that i can agree with those that find the second fun, it had more action filled gameplay, you trade things like this off when you move to open world. The general fact of the matter is that most people didnt like the linear gameplay for a crysis game, that doesnt make it fact.
I just want to say thank you Gvmer’s for these documentaries if it weren’t for these I would still be in the dark about what happened to my favourite old time classics and what actually goes on behind the scenes in game development. I don’t know much still but before when a game sucks I thought it was cuz of the developers being cheesy or had lack of vision but know am like "hmmm something must had go on behind the scenes". I hope you carry on making these ^^.
"7OXICiTY" was the name of an on-line Crysis-Wars server I started in January of 2009 which became arguably the best multi-player experience of the Crysis franchise, it was utterly customised with server-side code which upgraded and enhanced the vanilla Crysis-Wars to one which gave the player instant access to a range of commands which ranged from !Boxing to !Race... it was amazing to host and an honour to server the many players who passed through our doors, many other servers tried to copy our style... but we we're all flattered and just made it the best we could, so many talented coders and players joined our ranks, I was dreaming about it the other night... that's why I'm here now, we closed sadly around 2013 I think... a good run, had many good times and met many good people, they inspired me with their joy using the server and from their suggestions I/we went on to create a better and better experience... I have a few videos on my channel if you'd like to view some examples... the server software we used was built in house, we all pitched in to make it great, !Duel... ahh yes another one... I used to be the overload-admin, just doing my thing, enjoying the game, I loved using the vehicles over anything else and made many extra !commands to facilitate extra VTOLS and weapons etc... I miss it and them... I must of so missed it I haven't really joined up with anything else since... I've made an arcade game shooter in the mean time but besides that... no, it's odd actually... anyway I'm rambling... thanks guys you were the best.
@@theenglishmajor1198 I think it was when the GameSpy service for listing available crysis-wars servers closed down... leaving only a single solution to play on-line in the form of a custom grass-roots server listing-system which bypassed the old GameSpy connection, which sadly we didn't want to be a part of... because of our own custom server-software called UMBRA we thought was special enough to have its own solution to getting on-line which wasn't done... and if we didn't supply our own solution to playing our version of crysis-wars on-lne then the only other choice was to join with this other system but having to abandon the years of development in UMBRA, it would of all been made redundant overnight... so sadly it dissipated... it was the last days of Rome and everyone went mad... including myself... I gave away a version of UMBRA to a competitor in a blind hope of them taking up the mantle and running with it... as all around me was crumbling... I was like Princess Leia inserting that death-star data card into R2... but It was misjudged I think... nothing came of it anyway, we all knew in the dying days of the clan/server that there's always other games... I occasionally pop into have a look at the other chaps who are still going... hosting games, nice to see... also the ghosts of our command codes echoed in their servers... it seems the default is a rather moribund server system which took many hints and command idea's from us but it was a kind of flattery I suppose and we were lucky to have a really talented set of people with us and a great legacy... one which we kind of buried, but the videos remain... I should did out some more... it's been 10+ years since I first made that 7OXICITY server... I loved it...

Crysis was a beast. I still remember how we've scrambled with Nvidia to build a 5000 US-Dollar water-cooled PC to handle this game for our editorial review :O)
I think that would be a great topic, but I think it would end up being a rehash of COGConnected/Raycevick's "...years later" series about Halo, which I highly recommend for fans of GVMERS. Seriously, go watch him.
I never understand why everyone seems to hate the Aliens in the first game. I had a lot of fun with this game especially the last 3rd of it. Must be only me then.
I think most people complain about the Aliens because their computers couldn't run the ice sections well. Honestly. They were just as fun as the rest of the game.
The best thing in this game was the option to activate your suit by double pressing the key. Example pressing jump jump would make you jump higher, pressing CTRLCTRL (crouch crouch) would make you invisible. This way you were able to play without any fucking limits !! Popping the suit menu and selecting your power up made you waste time in the heat of the combat
IMO every crysis game is awesome,i don't care what you say but every one of them was great. I hope in this new decade they make a crysis 4 or a prologue

Crysis just recently becamse 10 years old. And after many people revisited it, pretty much everyone agreed and came into the conclution that the graphics still looks *MUCH* better compared to many recent games.
Not just the graphics, especially the physics are what made Crysis 1 special.
Yes, however as far back as the GTX580 - Crysis 1 was showing its age fairly reasonably. But it's still gorgeous, without a doubt and despite it finally showing its age... it is still worth the experience.
fine german engineering it is.
Fortnite has proven what 10 years of graphic processing technology is capable of! lol
Except for the baked shadows on things that don't dynamically react to light source. The aircraft carrier levels are kinda ugly now xD
and I hate multiplayers, crysis was one of the ultimate great single player experiences
Well, Crysis has single player + Multiplayer. Perfect
@Ajit kumar don't care about the online Multiplayer though. At least, me and my friend are still enjoy the LAN party in Crysis multiplayer
Laureano Alfaro I have to disagree with you on that, I never played multiplayer (I’m not a big fan of multiplayer (competitive at least) games) but I played all the games single player. While it offered some new concepts, I never felt like it was a great game worthy of high praise. To me, the reason it got talked about so much, was how great the graphics are, and those graphics still stand up even today. 2 & 3 did better for the story compared to 1, but they just never felt like great games the way uncharted or last of us felt
Same
Crysis was a superb technological demo but not a great game.

@JS 09 this makes no sense,
@JS 09 Do you only seek out information that aligns with your own beliefs? Or do you research all sources of information before deciding what the truth is?
For years to come, people will remember the one game no one could run
Except anyone could run it. It amazes me that this lie persists to this day.
The first time I played the Crysis demo was on my brother's 8500 GT. The 8500 GT was not even a mid-range card, it was a _low-end_ card. A _very_ weak card in 2007. And yet I played all the through the demo without any problem and loved every second. That PC had a dual-core CPU, but Crysis would have run just as well on a Pentium @ 2.8GHz.
Did I play maxed out at high resolution and 60 fps? _Of course not._ But I played it, without any problems at all. And when I finally built my first gaming PC in 2008, I played Crysis _maxed out_ on a GTX 260 less than a year after release.
@@bricaaron3978 one thing about the crysis games is that it is extremely friendly to low end pc, even the low settings look stunning but still maintain enough fps
@@tuocbui *"one thing about the crysis games is that it is extremely friendly to low end pc"*
Right. And that's one major difference between the true PC games that were released pre-2008 and the PC ports/versions released since: Settings actually made a huge _difference._ Over the past decade, games have often had many settings which have little benefit and little effect on performance, or a big effect on performance but little benefit.
And my favorite innovation of all: the Fake Setting. Yes, this is a real thing. Anyone can test this for himself, but there have been many games with settings--sometimes it's Textures, sometimes Shadows, or AF, etc.--that literally have NO effect no matter what the setting is. These are tossed in to fool PC players into thinking they're getting a proper PC release, instead of the usual toss-port with only Resolution and one or two other options.
Talk about dishonest, lol!
ironically quake 1 was much more demanding for its time than crysis was. the best computers ran the demo01 benchmark at 15fps average in fullscreen 320x200. my last-year-high-end 486 dx4 100 ran it at 7.5fps. half as fast as its pentium counterpart. i had to run the game in a tiny window to get a barely playable 20fps average.
quake only ran actually well when i got my pentium 233 mmx in 1997 then and my voodoo2 in 1998. and it was STILL more demanding than its sequel.

Remember kids, say no to EA.
And Ubisoft. They need to learn their lesson.
@@oneinazillion - No. No one should ever buy their games again. They deserve bankruptcy for their years of lazy, buggy releases.
@@JonasRosenven Wrong methodology. It's like with real life - if someone does something good, you praise them, if not, your make sure it is known. If they made a good game, you praise them and buy it, to show them they have done something worthy and good. If not, do not buy it, it will show them that it's a bad one. etc. Crysis is a great game without problems, and they must be rewarded with it. Crysis is not really under EA, it's just Crysis was distributed/released through EA. Crytek is private, unlike DICE, which is fully under EA.
@@BIOSHOCKFOXX As far as the Crysis series goes I think they were great too. I still think gamers would be better off without EA/Ubisoft though. If we were talking about companies that tried to take a game in a new direction that just didn't resonate well with the players I wouldn't have this extreme opinion. EA and Ubisoft seems like they deliberately and constantly are testing the limit of just how much they can get away with in terms of buggy, lazy titles instead of actually making a product that is genuinely good. I'm not going to support a lazy, greedy company just because it once released a great title for someone else.
@@BIOSHOCKFOXX Your method would be sound, but at this point it's part of the so-called "utopia"(which is just a cool way of saying "please stay put and don't do anything about being abused, thank you"). Corporations don't see context, they see numbers. Big publishers are corporations like any other, if not worse due to lack of regulation. And Crysis games are _published_ by EA, meaning that all profits go to them first and then Crytek gets their cut.
I must say that a tear fell of my eye watching this video, I still remember playing the first Crysis in my potato, great times!

Having played Crysis 2 and 3 SP this week, I have to say: They are even better than I remember. Crysis 2 has a great story, awesome music, and Crysis 3 looks awesome with great gameplay. They will be remembered.
Let's not make Crysis 3 available on Steam, that will help sales.
It's an EA publisher intend. They don't want to pay % for having their games on steam, so they do it origin exclusive.
The reason I haven't bought it, since it's not available on steam.
EXACTLY! EA is so stubborn and myopic.
I've come to accept that Steam cant be my sole distribution platform for PC games anymore. I use Origin and Microsoft store/xbox a lot as well though not anywhere near as much as steam. and Uplay just for some reason have to be there even though all their games are on steam. lmao.
MS store /XBOX is doing great things, but they need work. the store itself isnt very good, and the XBOX app is a bit of a mess and even more so is the UI on the xbox hardware itself. its mindboggingly stupid and messy. But Play anywhere is nice, Microsoft releasing all their games to both PC and XBox is nice, and I am quite tempted to give gamepass a shot as it seems to be a great value to me. its a double edge sword. its great for PC gamers, but for xbox itself I find that the only noteworthy redeeming factors of the current Xbox'es is 4K blu-ray playback, gamepass and Backwards compatibility with older xbox'es. And ofc Xbox one exclusive games before play anywhere really became a thing, like all 4 of those games lmao.
As for Crysis 3, I remember at the time I was let down that it wasnt on steam. As annoying as that is origin isnt to much of a hassle to launch and just find the game you want to play so I am not all that bothered anymore, but I feel like all their games could easily just have been on steam as they once were. Microsoft I understand because they have the xbox brand and play anywhere along with gamepass that makes a good cohesive entity that is not really compatible with steam as a seperate service, but they got to fix their mess of a store and the xbox app. And the XBOX UI itself on the console is the worst. I loathe the ui on my Xbox One S, it used to be decent at least back in the 360 days and now its just a nonsensical incomplete mess.
Steam have just stayed solid. if it aint broke, dont fix it.
he is origin available
What is so sad about Crysis is how it never had to die. We see that Far Cry has survived by staying unique in its open world approach to first person shooters. Crysis could still be relevant, but they kept trying to simplify it for consoles. Instead of keeping it open world, they contracted the level design. Instead of embracing the strategy brought by each of the different armor modes, they combined them together. It didn't help that the story was a little out there and harder to follow than it should have been.
It's true though that the open world feel does kinda grind to a halt somewhat once one ends up inside the alien vessel, and later in the frozen landscape. Still, it's better than Crysis 2.
Consoles weren't the reason. -_-
Yes it was
No, it wasn't. If graphics weren't the main focus of Crysis 2, the game would have been like Crysis 1.
I didn't get it what are you trying to saying? if Crysis 2 would have been like Crysis 1 then it's a bad thing? besides in the 2011 xbox 360 and and PS3 were showing their technical limitations and PC hardware were evolving. but Crytek wanted quick cash instead of innovation. Console is the platform where the cash came from. so they have to make the game which is compatible with aging console hardware. that's why we got a corridor shooter instead open world sandbox. we never got a true sequel of crysis 1. instead we got a call of duty rip-off.
Please do a "The Rise and Fall of Mafia". Similarly to the other game series you usually talk about in these videos, the Mafia series also had amazing potential and while flawed delivered a unique first game with a well written story and realistic game mechanics. Then it fell hard and after a period of "development hell" for Mafia 2 and then Mafia 3 it turned to an awkward and buggy gta clone. I think it would make a great case study.
Btw great video as always, keep up the good work
None shall pass I don’t know how the third game was, but 2 was great and the first was meh.
The third game is very bad (bug and glitch, graphic worse than 2, repetitive and story isn't good)
It was a worst game is 2016
You must have very limited knowledge of videogames if that's your opinion. It wasn't a catastrophic failure, it was buggy and sometimes ugly, but it was still fun and had some of the best cutscenes of that year.
But in general, still the worst game in 2016 and somebody said that Mafia 2 better than 3

There's 4,. Play war head. It's crysis 1 on steroids. There's a part where's there's a full on war, it's nuts!
Crysis 1 and Crysis Warhead are still amazing than 2 and 3
@Chucky z Crysis Warhead is just an expansion pack of Crysis 1
I was a kid when this came out. I bought my first ever gaming PC this week. It's been 13 years but I'm really excited to play this.
Notice how most of these game companies with franchise's once great, were started out of passion. What happened?
EA doesn't own Crytek I believe. I'm not sure what went south of Crytek. Maybe the leaders just worked their crew too hard and made dumb decisions.
Main issue is EA kind of sued them ,got them near bankrupt after crysis 3
Yeah cause im sure crysis 1 was very cheap and easy to make compared to its consolised sequel. Piracy is nothing new and it doesnt even affect sales. I know you have a hate boner against PC for some reason but its not the PC's fault the sequels became watered down compared to the first game.
In a word. GREED
money
I have a really strong bond to the original Far Cry. It wasn't really a great game, but the engine was pretty incredible - and the really amazing part was that it sort of appeared out of nowhere, at a time when gamers were really drooling over the "next gen" games that had already been on the horizon for years - Half Life 2 and Doom 3, among others. But there it was - out of nowhere, Far Cry looked like it was half a generation ahead of THOSE next gen titles... And to top it all off, it actually released before any of them (Far Cry released in March, Doom 3 in August, and HL2 in November). 2004 was one heck of a year for PC gaming.
But that's not really why I have such a strong bond with Far Cry. I used one of the early Far Cry demos, which by mistake or otherwise, included the full CryEDIT editor - as part of a presentation I did at school. The presentation was about game physics - and I fondly remember building a physics sandbox in the demo. Stacking barrels and boxes, spawning all sorts of objects and such, so that I could show off how advanced game physics had become, using a live demo. Brought my gaming PC to school and everything (because of course, no machine at school stood a chance at even loading the game). I remember even learning about some of the scripting tools in the game, to create AI groups and paths and so on.
So, in short - it's a really weird feeling watching this video, and remembering how this CryEngine piece of gaming history got started. And to think I used the engine as a class demo, before the game was even out. I'm feeling old....
Edit: OH AND ALSO, the Fry Cry multiplayer was *the bomb* at LAN parties. We had a local annual LAN party, and we would play Far Cry (original, no mods) Assault maps. We even had a tournament each year. Something about the Assault game mode, and that freaking beeping sound when the flag was about to be captured... It stirred people into a frenzy. So much yelling and so much panic and so much fun during those tournaments. The multiplayer was broken in a lot of ways, but we didn't care - we kept playing that game until like 2010, becase nothing else managed to pull people in quite the same way. And as an added bonus, the game's multiplayer was always quite obscure, so nobody was amazing at it - unlike CoD or CS, where there was always a handful of people at the party that would just be so much better at the game than everyone else, that it wasn't really fun to play. Far Cry was the great equalizer.
I didn't know anything about Far Cry before Far Cry 3, finding out just now that the original had to do with mutants more than it did terrorist groups or extremists. Didn't know that it started out with the plot of a 90's Sci-Fi movie. I said out loud to myself "THIS is what the original Far Cry was about!?" Having experienced the opposite just now, what were your reactions to Far Cry as the series progressed, as it became more grounded in reality and lost the original idea?
Agreed.
Thanks for the video, I was hoping you guys would cover this one.
I have a humble suggestion for a future installation of Rise and Fall: The Prince of Persia series. Please? :D
Achillez YES
Achillez yes. I totally forgot about that series. I loved it, the puzzles were so much fun. It just seems like the games disappeared.
That would be awesome ^^
the first assassins creed began life as a prince of persia game then when AC blew up, I guess it fell by the wayside
Sands of Time is still one of my favorite games. Fantastic pacing
"Fall of Crysis"
Crytek: Yes, but actually no.
I don't care what anyone says I loved each release of Crysis. Warhead was awesome too. I wish Crysis 4 comes out someday and we'll get to see some sick graphics. I can only imagine how it'll look.
Warhead was really good. I think I liked warhead more than 1.
Imagine crysis 4 built using unreal engine 5 and 4k 60fps

Just finished Crysis 3 yesterday and loved every second of it, still hoping we'll see Crysis 4 one day. :(
Side note: Crysis 2 and 3 soundtracks are absolutely amazing.
I liked the story of each one. Crysis 2 is my favorite, but it's not challenging, especially after finishing the game once you practically become Godlike even at the hardest mode. Enjoyable, but too easy.
Crysis 1 was amazing with Inon Zur.
But can it run crisis 4
Crysis 3 soundtrack is a mastapeece for the ages
WHAT ARE YOU PREPARED TO SACRIFICE?
year 2019. My laptop still can't run Crysis.
Mine too...
Mine is just BARELY capable of running first 3 games. And i fucking doubt that Crysis 3 will even turn on lmao.
I played Crysis 1 on an Intel HD 3000 with everything set to medium except for shadows (low) and motion blur turned all the way to max(slider)
It was averaging 41FPS
Mine runs it at 55-60 fps full graphics ( ryzen 7 2.2 ghz and rx560x 4gb ddr5)
man this is so true. mY lappy cannot run crysis 3 or 2 either.the games are just not optimized well enough
Finding a computer that can run Crysis is as hard as finding a device that *cannot* run Doom
I saw Doom running on a freaking fridge haha
@@TheDennys21 Someone made it run on a electronic pregnancy test.
@@jackychang9148 Most impressive I've seen: someone made it run on a printer.
There was no screen to play on, it literally printed each frame out. You just used menu navigation buttons to move and shoot.
Used to absolutely love Crysis. Now after watching this makes me wanna install and play again. Who is with me ?
U bee youu boo boo
Install it? It never left my PC. And I just played this game 8 hrs ago. Cleaned up the 1st 3 stages only using the pistol as a primary weapon.
I only play the first 6 stages of the game, were you fight human enemies. The many ways you can approach/move each stage(non-linear), gives an extraordinary chance of replay.
Have you tried killing the 4 armored soldiers in the cemetery, in complete stealth? Without alerting others to your presence, and not having them fire a single shot?
@@peposo7 I consider it a failure to not kill everything in stealth and get shot at.. I remember the 'valley scene' where NK troops starts advancing from other end towards you. Man that was some mental gymnastics to pull off. Camo off, fire headshot, camo on, spare energy to into hiding to charge energy and repeat.. It helped that they were so spread out. I don't think they ever got to shoot at me if i remember correctly. Played all 3 games last year one after another. Hate the parts where it's impossible to clear everything when aliens spawn continuously more and more... Stealth is the only way to go :D
Crysis 1 had the wow factor, the graphics, the atmosphere, the AI. It was a nice, immense experience, especially on delta (hardest) difficulty it was tactical, it was so exciting, so delicate. You weren't a superhero, you were just a special force guy with an enhanced suit, but not immortal. You had to be very cautious, plan every move, had to use the environment, the suits abilities. It was a very decent game. After that i tried crysis 2... compared to its predecessor, it was shallow, CoD-ish, EA/hollywood crap, it was a major disappointment...
The thing is, even the first game went shallow and linear after you enter the mines all the way to the aircraft carrier. The immenseness and open world style was only in the jungle.
That is what console players did demand in that era. Blame CoD and Halo for that.
I never saw a "CoD-ish" in C2. The CoD games are normally "Rail- Shooters".
Comparing any FPS you don't like with CoD is the most trash argument ever exists
Even 2 was good for realz just think 1 ouwowed everyone and made a lasting impression im a cod guy and in no way was it codish but its own thing and better
Blame extremely low PC sales and piracy.
Crysis 1 was pretty awesome. Crysis 2 looked too blurry for my taste and the gameplay was too "CoD" like. Crysis 3 is pretty fun.
Crysis 1 was pretty fun. Crysis 2 was a really compelling exam of the separation of a human into mind, body and conscience. Crysis 3 was beautiful, pointless, corny cheese.
the ALPHA CEPH!!!!!!!salkkjdth;
+Cynical Joker
Alcatraz is killed in the beginning. His mind and conscience are eliminated, leaving only his body. A body alone is useless. No direction, no purpose. But it does have form.
Prophet finds him as he's dying, carries him away and puts him in the nano suit. At that point, Alcatraz the body gains the suit's intelligence. At this point, Alcatraz regains the mind. The suit's AI tells him where to go and what to do. With a mind, his body now has direction.
Over the course of the story, it's revealed that Prophet's consciousness was left behind in the suit when he took it off. Something to do with the mind/body symbiosis that characterizes the relationship between suit and wearer. Certain events allow that residual consciousness to awaken inside the suit's AI. Prophet is now in the player's ear, telling them why they need to complete the mission (and when they need to go off-mission). Prophet is conscience, and he gives Alcatraz purpose.
Body/mind/conscience. Form/direction/purpose. That's a complete human, right there. We lack form, we're an empty exosuit with an AI fruitlessly buzzing at nothing. We lack direction, we're a form in which no consciousness can awaken in the first place (Prophet existed in the "deep layers" of the suit's AI). We lack purpose, we're just a physical form running at mission objectives unquestioningly.
I thought that was pretty profound. The first game, by comparison, is just regular alien sci fi with some light political thriller mixed in. Meanwhile, the third one is a saturday morning cartoon about hunting bows and the alpha ceph.
Loved the first half of Crysis, didn't care for the second half.
Crysis was never meant to be open world nor should it ever be. We already have enough game companies jumping onto that bandwagon already.
While Crysis 2 was the weakest game out of the three, it was still much better than most trash we got back then and are getting now.
Graphics will only take you so far. Crysis 1 was incredible and way ahead of its time, but with all the console peasants around it was inevitable that the next games be held back in that regard.
The most important thing will always be gameplay.
I think the fun came from the open-ended gameplay of Crysis 1. Yeah it was "open world" but even if it was a bit less open the gameplay would have shined through. It was truly revolutionary in terms of gameplay and visuals. Even today when I play the game I'm honestly surprised how well the game looks. Sometimes it's downright beautiful when the moon is shining down upon you or when the sun is coming down.
You know those types of games that look so good you just stop and look around? That happens a lot to me in Crysis. The story and characters weren't amazing (I think Crysis 3 was the best in that regard) but it was still extremely fun.
Crysis 3 was and still is one of my top 5 favourite games, I had such a good experience with both the single and multiplayer when the game released, I still go back and play it every year
DUDE! I’ve just finished 3, and hell yeah it’s awesome!
Disappointed that you didn't mention the beautiful ocean water in farcry. Everbody at the time was blown away by the water shader.
Carl Mahnke boohoo
Let me know when u've solved this major problem.
Crysis 1, WH, and 2 were some of the best games i have played in my life, and i didnt play Crysis 3 just because my laptop wont run it.
Maximum Strength. Maximum Armor. Maximum Speed. Maximum #FuckEA
Warhead was sick, best part was shooting down flying alien exoskeletons with PAX and that big ass walking exoskeleton or gunship/tank. I just wish we could've driven mobile AA guns, but oh well, we were still able to shoot with them.
@@astanisystems Dont forget the MOAC! Precisely controlling the heat of the weapon so it just keeps on firing a devastating barrrage of icicles was extremely satisfying, too.
Play Crysis 3 if you get the chance - it's a step up in every regard from Crysis 2, and it really wraps up the series well, tying up loose ends nicely and has a very satisfying, almost tear-jerkingly sentimental ending. Amazing soundtrack too - I have the Title Theme and Ending Theme (piano overture) on my phone to listen to in my car sometimes. SOOO good.
@Ken narville Not saying the game-play was great; I really hated that they COD'ized the whole thing because that's what was popular at the time and because they were sacrificing their resource-heavy sandbox mantra so they could optimize it for stupid shitty consoles. I loved going nuts with the console commands in Crisis 1 and Warhead, the physics were so wonky and fun!
For Crysis 3, I just meant to say it was a good wrap-up plot-wise, had great graphics, nice music/atmosphere, etc. but yeah, it was a completely different beast than the first two (the original and Warhead). Much less replay value for sure, way more on-the-rails; I've actually been playing the original and Warhead recently again, just because they're so freeform and chaotic and fun even 10 years later.
Crytek I love you just fight and release Crysis 4 please *internally crying*
Wait till EA sells it. I could only imagine what EA would do to Crysis with their obsessions with live services and forced online modes. Poor Bioware is dying a slow death right now because of this.

Nomad is dead.

I played Crysis 1 graphically modded on PC a few years ago and it blew me away. Crysis 2 was really solid. But Crysis 3 just really did it for me, I thought it was PERFECT. Relentless, violent as hell, and such a good story, excellent really. But the best thing of all, the voice acting and the writing was just AMAZING! "They USED to call me Prophet, REMEMBER ME". DAMN. I know the story tied itself together and ended beautifully but man I would really love for them to make a fourth Crysis where you go to the Alien world as the new Prophet.
Do you think they are working on it. If so I want it with an open world like GTA 5, FAR CRY 5, OR just like the first Crysis 1.
The new crysis needs tropical islands, but it needs something else new too... We could have artic/antartic levels and even space ones...
☢Thя4wN ╳ Yep with some new technologies
NEMRCOMEDY They're all great games. It's such a shame that PC elites had to ruin everything just because they coukdnt stomach the idea of console "casuals" getting Crysis games. I've only ever played any Crysis game on my PC, but just because 2 and 3 came out on consoles as well does absolutely nothing to diminish the games on PC.
I completely agree with you. I LOVED Crysis 3!
I LOVE the first crysis. Still think it's one of the best shooters ever. And I totally disagree with the usual criticism about the linear action of its last third. I remember how mind blowing was to leave the alien ship and see everything frozen and the aliens were unleashed. The contrast with the first two thirds made the gameplay fresh and, most importantly, the narrative richer and more engaging.
I agree, except the actual gameplay with the aliens is terrible. That was flat-out a mistake.
Crytek violated a few basic rules of shooter design, the biggest one being that enemies need to have satisfying *feedback* when you hit them. It's just no fun shooting metal casings that don't react to being hit in any way. I admit, it didn't bother me a whole lot on my first few playthroughs, when the game was still fresh, but over the years, I came to realize why so many people didn't like the later parts of the game.
Overall, Crysis is the best shooter ever made. I feel genuinely sorry for people who have never played the real game--the PC game--and think it's just a "tech demo". No shooter has better movement and weapon mechanics, and better overall feel.
Cevat Yerli is a big, fat, greedy butthead.
I have mixed feelings on the aliens. On the one hand they really FELT alien. They really felt like they came from another world and were there for unknown reasons. That aspect of it was perfect
Fighting the aliens wasn't as satisfying as fighting the Koreans though, at least not the little aliens. Blowing the fliers out of the air was fun, especially when they land somewhere and blow up. I wish the final third had been a fighting retreat from the Koreans and the bigger aliens while they fight each other. The lack of satisfaction from killing the little ones wouldn't matter as much if the Koreans were fighting them and you. A three way fight would've capitalized on the open world shooter feel of the game, rather than minimizing it
Love Crysis series, every year I replay this franchise , CryEngine at least for me is the most beautiful engine (in the right hands) I will never lose hope of seeing new Crysis game.
They sure love the word "cry" don't they
EA ruins everything it touches
Shut up EA didn't do anything wrong
EA has nothing to do with Crytek at this time because they didn't have forcefull hand on Crytek like DICE. The piracy was what ruining their business
@@ytanonymity3585 lol Piracy made Crysis 2 play like a COD clone? Does EA pay you trolls by the hour or salary?
@@lordmasterization and I say, for this time EA has nothing to do with this cause they had no forceful hand on Crytek cause they are private. Unlike DICE
I agree!!
So many fond memories from Crysis, still have the disk laying around somewhere :D
Got mine right on top of my shelf. Only wish that those that pirated the game also bought it. That goes for all the entries, no just the first one. Who knows maybe then we would've had a 4th game.
And because Crysis 1 is such a great game, we from germancrysis.com are hosting new online servers with our mod again since YEARS now. Our mod and servers are free to play and download, and work with both Steam and CD versions on 64 and 32 bit. The official online servers were shut down on May 31 2014, due to Crytek have huge financial problems.
Do your tribute and buy Crysis 1 from Steam, get our mod, play the game and enjoy what everyone was talking about back than. At the moment, you need a PC that can run CS:GO on Max Graphics on 100 fps, in order to play Crysis on Mid-High settings on 60 fps, so this SHOULD work for most of you.

I loved all the crysis games, they will always have a special place in my heart. Crysis 2 is my favorite game in the series. I'll never forget seeing the massive ships and building all around making you feel tiny, but the nanosuit giving you enough power that you felt like a god. Thank you crytek for all the memories
Couldn't agree more.. yes Crysis 1 and Warhead were technologically more impressive for their time, but as for sheer enjoyment, Crysis 2 takes the cake. The suit is actually fun to use and doesn't run out of energy after you so much as fart too loudly, the verticality and setting lends itself to far more interesting combat scenarios unlike 300 moronic soldiers walking and crouching towards you in a straight line every 25 meters shouting classics like "Kiiii Hiiiim", "Mouu aut" and "Hekky Shekkky" which 'til this day make roughly zero sense. Let's not forget Crysis 2 also had an amazing main theme thanks to none other than Hans Zimmer. It just felt more polished, more grand and way more fun.
Keep up the great work with the videos guys it's always great to see your videos in my inbox
Crytek is an odd studio. If a game you made strike it big I understand expanding your studio. But why did they make 5 dashed around the globe?
Their aim was making crytek engine like the unreal engine. They wanted to be a tech/engine developing R&D company rather than a simple game studio, selling/leasing/licensing their engine and tech to 3rd parties.

I really like crysis 2 and 3s multiplayer way more the crysis 1 and warheads, I also liked the story for crysis 2 and 3 more , but the game play and level design of the single player campaign for crysis 1 and warhead were very much superior
i agree
Crysis 1 multiplayer was pretty fun to play.
And it was much more dynamic than the one showed in this video. The problem was it was very difficult since you had to struggle a bit to be completely able to control the Nanosuit abilities in the multiplayer, you could combine the abilities and “create” new ones.
It was a hardcore multiplayer.
But it really was fun. It was the best multiplayer I ever played. And I played many: Medal of Honor, Battlefield 2 & 3, COD, etc..

Crysis 1 looks better than 80% of todays games
It even looks better than its follow ups.
@@Gnarrkhaz That part is not true... Crysis 3 is the best looking one graphically. Just compare them, if you can't admit that, you are blind. They used a newer engine for last one.
That was a pretty funny joke.
Normal since todays game are made by young wannabe developers that have no experience and think that all games should be about killing zombies!
And Crysis 3 about 95%
"Optimizing" for consoles in Crysis 2 & 3 are the real downfall of this beloved original PC exclusive series. Not only that, instead keeping the open world level design & sense of freedom in Far "Cry" & "Cry"-sis, they did the ultimate typical mainstream shenanigans with corridor levels COD clone for Crysis 2-3 under "EA." Meanwhile Far Cry's Ubisoft keeping the open world aspect with its dunia engine, made FC2. It become a cult classic like original. Then, FC3 became a huge success 'cause it's the only "open world" fps game at the time for every platforms.
Cynical Joker idk about you but in my own experiences it didn't feel like open ended at all (maybe because how the mission/target locations placed?). It felt just like linear Crysis 2 but with bigger area. What people expected back then is more open world like Far Cry & Crysis, especially on how people were loving FC2 & FC3 open world level design with sandbox. Even the car driving in Crysis 3 was very limited in certain mission if I remembered.
Same thing happened to F.E.A.R 2 and 3. Instead of sticking to the brilliant design of the first game, they downgraded it for the consoles. I guess from the time of when Call of Duty was at it's most popular, they decided to copy the gameplay. Why do developers have to seriously have to downgrade their games to fit the console audience, I'm sure they wouldn't mind a PC shooter on their console.
Crysis 3 open gameplay!? What a joke!
The Ranger games gotta be dumbed down for console players
Far cry 3 was successful due to marketing. Remember "Skyrim with guns"
This is not a video, this is a documentary. Great work
To me the original Crysis wowed me out of my mind when the Onslaught mission started.

Because even tho this video doesn't tell anything about it, I feel like Crisis 3 also sold less because it was just to ressources demanding for its time. Look at the rain effects, and the size of the levels. Most pc users didn't have a machine capable of rendering that.
@@Sir_Bucket I really feel this is overstated, I played all three (not warhead) and even though I would consider graphics when buying machines through years as someone who liked playing and had a young son that was crazy about video games, I really never had the luxury of splashing on top notch equipment and would always purchase/build machines that were just above average both in terms of price and capability...

@@ChrisBa303 How is it a desperate attempt to make money?
Crysis 2 may not have been the best but they somehow got hans zimmer to make the crysis 2 theme. Hans freaking zimmer!
Hans has explored more videogames than just the Crysis series. I remember reading an article explaining that he wanted to do away with the Superhero movie genre and branch more into videogames as they have a lot more creative freedom.
and yet the music for Warhead and C1 was far better than everything out of C2
FolstrimHori, Egh, I'd think otherwise. Crysis 2 has a much more memorable soundtrack with iconic pieces and themes throughout. SOS New York, Battery park, the Introduction/main theme, Epilogue, Contamination, just to name a few, these songs are all so easily discernible and stuck with me.
I've played through C1 and Warhead a couple of time and can't for the life of me remember a single song. Not to say it's an awful soundtrack, but perhaps not as focused as its successors.
FolstrimHori Um, not even close dude. C2's score is a fucking masterpiece.
He also made the music for the gameshow Going For Gold. Hans Zimmer is not just some blockbuster film composer. He is a composer.
Still think it's the greatest 3 games ever made! Every time I play 1 Crysis, I have to complete the next two.

I also love big set pieces and Hollywood feels of SPs. But as long as those don't take away from the rest of the gameplay etc.

Objectively you are wrong, becayse thats an opinion
No, it's fact. Larger areas, better power suit, better gameplay. Even the multiplayer was much better in Crysis 1/warhead. Crysis 2 plays out like a CoD game. It's typical, boring. There's a reason Crysis was so popular. Did you not watch the video?
Because*
Yes but there are still people who enjoy it better, it isbt fact those are just features that in your opinion make it better.
I like crysis 1 better, too, its just that i can agree with those that find the second fun, it had more action filled gameplay, you trade things like this off when you move to open world.
The general fact of the matter is that most people didnt like the linear gameplay for a crysis game, that doesnt make it fact.
I just want to say thank you Gvmer’s for these documentaries if it weren’t for these I would still be in the dark about what happened to my favourite old time classics and what actually goes on behind the scenes in game development. I don’t know much still but before when a game sucks I thought it was cuz of the developers being cheesy or had lack of vision but know am like "hmmm something must had go on behind the scenes". I hope you carry on making these ^^.
Crysis is one of my favourtie games of all time.
"7OXICiTY" was the name of an on-line Crysis-Wars server I started in January of 2009 which became arguably the best multi-player experience of the Crysis franchise, it was utterly customised with server-side code which upgraded and enhanced the vanilla Crysis-Wars to one which gave the player instant access to a range of commands which ranged from !Boxing to !Race... it was amazing to host and an honour to server the many players who passed through our doors, many other servers tried to copy our style... but we we're all flattered and just made it the best we could, so many talented coders and players joined our ranks, I was dreaming about it the other night... that's why I'm here now, we closed sadly around 2013 I think... a good run, had many good times and met many good people, they inspired me with their joy using the server and from their suggestions I/we went on to create a better and better experience... I have a few videos on my channel if you'd like to view some examples... the server software we used was built in house, we all pitched in to make it great, !Duel... ahh yes another one... I used to be the overload-admin, just doing my thing, enjoying the game, I loved using the vehicles over anything else and made many extra !commands to facilitate extra VTOLS and weapons etc... I miss it and them... I must of so missed it I haven't really joined up with anything else since... I've made an arcade game shooter in the mean time but besides that... no, it's odd actually... anyway I'm rambling... thanks guys you were the best.
Why did it close down.
@@theenglishmajor1198 I think it was when the GameSpy service for listing available crysis-wars servers closed down... leaving only a single solution to play on-line in the form of a custom grass-roots server listing-system which bypassed the old GameSpy connection, which sadly we didn't want to be a part of... because of our own custom server-software called UMBRA we thought was special enough to have its own solution to getting on-line which wasn't done... and if we didn't supply our own solution to playing our version of crysis-wars on-lne then the only other choice was to join with this other system but having to abandon the years of development in UMBRA, it would of all been made redundant overnight... so sadly it dissipated... it was the last days of Rome and everyone went mad... including myself... I gave away a version of UMBRA to a competitor in a blind hope of them taking up the mantle and running with it... as all around me was crumbling... I was like Princess Leia inserting that death-star data card into R2... but It was misjudged I think... nothing came of it anyway, we all knew in the dying days of the clan/server that there's always other games... I occasionally pop into have a look at the other chaps who are still going... hosting games, nice to see... also the ghosts of our command codes echoed in their servers... it seems the default is a rather moribund server system which took many hints and command idea's from us but it was a kind of flattery I suppose and we were lucky to have a really talented set of people with us and a great legacy... one which we kind of buried, but the videos remain... I should did out some more... it's been 10+ years since I first made that 7OXICITY server... I loved it...
@@gan9e hey man i dont know you know but your servers is open in crymp servers named 7OXICiTY ::: MESA and 7OXICiTY ::: OUTPOST. is it fanmade server or offical server of yours?
and what are you playing or doing these days? :d
@@gan9e also thank you for all your efforts on crysis multiplayer community. crysis has always been a special game for me and i'll never forget good old crysis days
@@gan9e ok man thank you for answering me i hope to see you again as a developer or player in crysis
rise and fall of Delta Force maybe? i can remember quite a number of games i owned especially Delta Force Black Hawk Down which was a really awesome game with amazing graphics for its time... :D like if you agree^^
They were a awesome series.
2022, Crisis 4 has been announced.. And damn how could anyone not be thrilled ?
I'm watching this in 360p for that nostalgic feel
Crysis was a beast. I still remember how we've scrambled with Nvidia to build a 5000 US-Dollar water-cooled PC to handle this game for our editorial review :O)
What was the year did you owned that $5000 PC and then try Crysis on it after you buy that game ??
YT Anonymity yeah lol sounds nuts
5,000 Dolars? Did you buy the Titan V or something?
@@LuizAlexPhoenix titan v, XDDD
@@LuizAlexPhoenix I think 2007 was the year of the 7 series, so it would probably be a 7900 GT or something like that.
Could you guys make a video recapitulating Bungie's history?
I think that would be a great topic, but I think it would end up being a rehash of COGConnected/Raycevick's "...years later" series about Halo, which I highly recommend for fans of GVMERS. Seriously, go watch him.
The rise and fall of Bungie.
EpicWaba I refer a video talking more about the games that came out before and after Halo (and just talking vaguely about Halo).
I find it fashinating today that Halo was once a game for the Mac, solely.
Mark Henderson bungie hasn’t fallen yet.
The narration and comprehensive information is superb. Thank you for the amazing content. Compelling.
Crisis 2 intro song still gives me goosebumps!!!!! Classic!
I never understand why everyone seems to hate the Aliens in the first game.
I had a lot of fun with this game especially the last 3rd of it. Must be only me then.
I think most people complain about the Aliens because their computers couldn't run the ice sections well. Honestly. They were just as fun as the rest of the game.
The best thing in this game was the option to activate your suit by double pressing the key. Example pressing jump jump would make you jump higher, pressing CTRLCTRL (crouch crouch) would make you invisible. This way you were able to play without any fucking limits !!
Popping the suit menu and selecting your power up made you waste time in the heat of the combat
IMO every crysis game is awesome,i don't care what you say but every one of them was great.
I hope in this new decade they make a crysis 4 or a prologue
But can it run Crysis?
OMG. Crysis Wars. Map Mesa
Hey GVMERS,
Can you guys do a documentary on The Rise & Fall of Atari? I know countless documentaries have been made, but I feel you guys can do a definitive one
All four Crysis games are great and with the remastered trilogy out now they are still a great experience.
