In April 2020, Crytek announced an official Remaster of the first Crysis game. And today, the RemasterStudio Team has announced a new graphics overhaul mod for the original Crysis. Furthermore, the team has also released a trailer for this mod that you can find below.
Crysis Enhanced Edition features high quality textures (and in some cases 8K textures), better water effects and richer particles. The team has also added indirect sky lighting and fog effects in order to improve the game’s visuals. Not only that, but it has reworked the lighting for all interior areas.
As we can see in the following comparison trailer, this graphics overhaul mod brings huge improvements. The new textures look great, and the new lighting system is stunning. Seriously, this appears to be the best way to replay the original Crysis.
The downside here is that the mod is put behind a Patreon wall. Unfortunately, there isn’t any public release yet, and we don’t know when the team will release it to everyone. So yeah, that sucks.
Lastly, it will be interesting to see whether Crysis Remastered will look better than this mod. Crytek and Saber have not provided any additional details about this official remaster yet. For all we know, Crysis Remastered could be a mere remaster similar to Mafia 2 Definitive Edition. On the other hand, it could be a remaster/remake like Modern Warfare 2 Remastered or Saints Row The Third Remastered.
We’ll be sure to let you know about the public release of this mod. Until then, enjoy the following trailer!

The last game that truly pushed the boundary of graphical technologies.
FvCK this fvckers any pos that pays for this AND any other future pos doing it!
I can already hear the big heads at “game companies” rubbing their hands and loling
“thank you for the excuse idiot”.
I don’t care how about how good it looks, if it is beta or not, “supporting” their work is the stupidiest thing to do, is turning modding into what bathesda and others want.
Someone didnt get their pudding cup and Jr.Juice.
I’ll have the last laugh in 4 or so years as i spit my pudding and juice in the face of the likes of you as i lol at the complains about paid mods going about.
Sheesh, nor did you get your nap.
Crysis truly is the last title that was a true revoltuinary and next gen game.
Crysis Remastered is being built in Cry Engine 5.
It’ll look a whole lot different.
While it improves a lot things like, rocks (were always questionable in terms of quality in the game imo) it also changes a lot the overall feel and style of the game. Not sure about this one chief.
Folks just get the Black Fire mod! Most simple yet best looking mod ever!

Looks pretty good. I’m interested in replaying this classic first-person shooter.
After all CRYSIS 1 still remains one of the best FPS of all time ! I’m also hoping for some sort of remake/remaster/reboot of F.E.A.R 1 and Far Cry 1 as well !
The first Crysis and Far Cry games are definitely superior FPS. The first FEAR is one of my all time favorite FPS though. I still replay it every few years.
Indeed man ! Honestly speaking, I love FEAR 1 more than Crysis. Very addictive FPS, and the use of “slomo” makes it even more fun to play..
The level designing, and the Enemy AI awareness is also superior in the entire FEAR franchise, imo.
FEAR 1 is also one of my favorites!
But the lack of any mods for it is really disappointing.
Same goes for Far Cry 1.
I recently had the urge to replay them but couldn’t find any mods for these two to warrant an overhauled experience.
I ended up playing HL2 Cinematic mod and Doom 3 with lot of mods.
Are there any MODs for FEAR 2 and FEAR 3 ? We don’t even have Cheat codes for these 2 games, unlike FEAR 1.
Apart from game trainers, there are no proper cheat codes for 2 and 3. I love replaying any game with cheats though, lol.
This has been the most wholesome thread I have seen on this site, most comments i’ve seen were just hate, people coming for each others neck, etc.
To add on that, same with me! Something about THOSE types of games, FEAR 1, Crysis 1, hell even Far Cry 1! The mutant part I vividly remember catching me off guard SO well!
Agree. I love this site but the comments section is something else. Full of some sort of opinionated people. Metal Messiahs will have to post first in every news story.
People have opinions, go figure
Yes your username, I see… hmmmm
Try out MMOD
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vxa5JxBrOPI
I know of the MMod, especially from HL2.
FEAR’s MMod is very subtle for my taste and I was looking for more visual flair/enhancement. I dont want any change in the gameplay.
I liked that feature too and that you could search for Reflex Boosters to increase the amount of time that you could keep slow mo going.
The game lulled you into thinking that you were just playing a really good FPS and then BAM!…..Alma makes an appearance.
Have you played FEAR part 3 ? I found the game and story boring and dull though. Graphics are good, but its not addictive like FEAR 1.
Btw, ALMA really scared the s*** outta me in FEAR 1 though ! Spooky atmosphere.
Dude, I still remember playing FEAR and got to a point in the beggining, if I remember well, where you have to go down a ladder. The atmosphere is creapy af and the music adds a lot to that. When you click the action button to down the ladder and turn around to proceed, Alma is right at your back, and then simply vanishes like thin air. I almost spat my heart out.
imo the series just kept taking a step down in quality every new game. FEAR 1 being superior to FEAR 2 and FEAR 3 was pretty mediocre but I played it anyway.
That is what happens when a Developer tries to sell games based on the reputation of the last game in the series instead of putting enough effort into it to make it decent.
I agree. This happens with every gaming franchise/IP.
True words
If you do play it then don’t forget to try Warhead afterwards. It’s the most underrated expansion ever. In fact I’ll probably replay it myself too
Oh yeah, I’ve already played Warhead, Psycho’s parallel story campaign. Enjoyed playing it as well.
Ah ok. Surprisingly I’ve come across a lot of people that haven’t and just assumed you haven’t either
when news of the crysis remaster came out,
I fired up my Xbox one backwards compatible copy, and I was amazed at how terrible the hit detection on it was.(across the Board)
I was consistently having to down people, if I hit them in the body, with half a clip.
(headshots were instantaneous thankfully) but any body contact?
it was almost like it would not even register. I shot one guy I have it recorded, with right about 18 shots in the body as he’s running around back and forth behind a tree and repositioning.
bear in mind this was on unarmored enemies.
it was consistently, really, terrible.
I hope it’s something that’s addressed.
as far as far cry, the first one, and fear being remastered?
I would love that ? either or both?
Now we just need a MOD that cut off all the boringness from the game.
“it will be interesting to see whether Crysis Remastered will look better than this mod.”
I would dismiss this as absurd if anyone other than SABER were in charge of the project. With them at the helm, unfortunately this mod may end up being the superior way to play the game, for instance due to Saber’s patented stuttering that ails every single game they work on.
