First Crysis Remastered 4K PC Screenshot on “Can it Run Crysis?” Graphics Settings

102 Comments

Crytek has just released the first 4K PC screenshot for Crysis Remastered. Crytek has introduced some PC-exclusive settings with the aim to stress the most powerful PC systems. Thus, this in-game screenshot will give you an idea of what you can expect from the PC version.

As Crytek noted, this screenshot is using the new “Can it Run Crysis?” Graphic mode. This mode is designed to demand every last bit of your hardware with unlimited settings, and will be exclusive to the PC version.

Crysis Remastered will support NVIDIA DLSS technology and hardware-based ray tracing using NVIDIA’s VKRay Vulkan extension, for NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPU. Furthermore, it will feature high-quality textures and improved art assets, temporal anti-aliasing, SSDO, SVOGI, and state-of-the-art depth of field. Additionally, it will pack new light settings, motion blur, and parallax occlusion mapping, as well as new particle effects.

There is no doubt that this latest in-game screenshot looks better than the initial current-gen screenshots that Crytek released in June 2020. So kudos to both Crytek and Saber for listening to our criticism and improving the game’s graphics.

Crysis Remastered will release on September 18th and will be exclusive to Epic Games Store.

Enjoy!

Reddit’s Filipi_7 has also shared a screenshot from the original game on Max settings. This screenshot showcases the graphical differences between the original and the remaster version of Crysis PC. And, as you can clearly see, the remaster looks significantly better.

  2. As if someone took a premade tree brush and sprayed everywhere like a skunk! Truly outrageous work of art. (seriously wtf is going on with the trees on the side of the right cliff in the middle)

    Doesn’t impress given the current age but I’m hoping the world feels alive- trees swaying, volumetric fog moving, rotating clouds…

  3. Looks like textures beyond 10m enter low setting mode. Gotta love these new “optimization” tricks!

    Also check out the hands and pistol textures. Not only they look like complete dogsht, but they also look like those 16bit textures from old games. What a joke!

    1. Yet your current gen consoles can’t run them either.

      Fortunately, many of us can run these things on our gaming PCs. Don’t like “PC losers”? Stay off of a PC website.

  6. Oh yes! I’m looking forward to playing Crysis Remastered.
    It’s been too long since I played the first game and my PC needs a challenge.
    Bring it on!

    I can’t “clearly see” that, am i going insane?

  8. Looks really good. Confused about requirements though, it’s listed as DX11 only yet the game will support Vulkan’s RT extensions ???

    Reply

    1. Same here, I’m guessing DX11 and Vulkan API switchable, but seems weird they’d program to two APIs given how superior Vulkan is…

    1. The original with it’s washed out greens never looked “natural”. Real life jungle in the full brightness of the day is a rather vivid green. It is actually more natural in the remake, it just doesn’t look like a movie filter has been applied to it, which is probably the way you’re used to seeing jungles. The original crysis looked like the foliage was overcast, but the sky was clear.

      Reply

      1. Sorry, i live near a jungle, those greens are off…
        The problems seems to lacking in color variation as well, the original had more tones and colors, this seems to be almost all green of the same tone, probably easier to make more out of color compression…
        Anyway, sad news about the remake.

      2. I’ve been in Tahiti 2 times in my life, last time was in 2018 and i can assure you that both are not realistic but if i have to choose the most faithful i’ll go for the original, the greens are completely off in the remaster considering the “realistic” art direction of Crysis. The original lighting is perhaps not as realistic as people think but definitely more natural and fitting (for a shooter) than the remaster one which looks likes some poorly done Avatar/Fairy Theme color tone

        1. I’m betting you’re not on a calibrated display.
          I’m on a professionally calibrated OLED and it looks rather accurate.
          However, on my gaming display it does look too green. I’m betting this is what most people are seeing and where this is coming from.

          Reply

          1. Yep my monitor isn’t calibrated, but i never needed this to see actual good colors on the games i play, if most people have a problem with the colors so there’s definitely a problem with the colors, i never saw a game that required color calibration to be accurate in my entire life, but anyway maybe you prefer it this way, good for you, i respect that

          2. Just so you know, if you’re monitor isn’t accurate nothing you look at on it will be accurate. This is why calibration is important if you care about these things. Otherwise, you can’t judge the color of a game because you’re not viewing it the way the creator created it. You literally can’t know if it looks right.
            Without a calibrated display, if the game is accurate, then you will see an image that is inaccurate. Most people have wildly inaccurate displays, but the creators don’t. This is the problem.
            You may not have noticed before, but today you have.

          3. OMG, my entire life was fake… But how about the fact that i can compare colors on my monitor with what i see everyday with my own eyes and consider that what i see in this screenshot is wrong ? Or are you just going to tell me that my eyes are not calibrated ? Or maybe the colors in this game just f*cking suck ?
            Monitor calibration never been THAT important for gaming, especially if you own a good monitor, which is (in 99% of the times) packed with good default colors, it’s mostly needed for nitpickers and doesn’t make so much difference but just to for the sake of being fair, i googled it and i found a profile for my monitor pretty easily, tried it and Crysis Remaster still has horrible greens

          4. Reading this latest contrarian piffle from dirthurts brings to memory the saying, “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.”

          8. It’s clear you’re really not that familiar with monitors, which is fine. Most monitors come out of the box looking like garbage, even monitors that cost 500 bucks or more. They are tweaked to be bright and punchy, not accurate. They have no calibration and the color filters they use on them are not consistent. They need calibration.

          10. If this is the monitor you’re using, it absolutely need calibration. It has a delta-e of 3.89 and barely covers 95% of the color spectrum. That’s a LOT of colors it an’t display. I have an Acer as well, a higher end model than that with better specs all around, and it was way off out of the factory.

          11. But as i you can see i’m now using a calibration profile, and i told you that the lighting in the screenshot still looks garbage

          13. Believe it or not, i did this, i googled jungle, rain forest, tropical island, and there’s nothing that looks like this screen, maybe the Avatar jungles…
            But in fact that doesn’t work this way because of different TODs, weather, and postfx, so i launched different games i own with jungle environments, AC4, Forza Horizon 3, Far Cry 3, and Shadow of The Tomb Raider (which has the best jungles to date IMO) and none of these games felt as shiny and wrong as this screen, i’m 100% sure this is not a calibration problem, a lot of remasters have this saturation problem because it’s an easy way to show people you’ve done some rework

          14. You clearly aren’t understanding what the man is saying. Your software profile will do little to make things look better if your monitor itself is not also correctly configured. Different displays can show color in wildly different manners. Even two “identical” models can be opened up and hooked up side by side and chances are they will look a little different. And yes the vast majority, hell, I’d say ALL consumer grade monitors that you’d get from like Best Buy, Newegg, or Amazon, are all going to look very bad out of the box. So if you’re judging based off of that, then yes you’re not really seeing anything correctly.

          15. Do you even know that a lot of games are bypassing custom color profiles in full screen mode ?? Anyway, didn’t feel the need for that in any other game, if it’s only Crysis Remaster, so it’s obviously the game’s fault, you guys sometimes are capable of saying anything to defend your point, this whole calibration sh*t is an absolute nonsense, the game has sh*t colors PERIOD

          16. Do you even know that I just said the color profiles don’t really matter?? ?? Again you’re not reading, not listening, not even trying to understand. When it comes to display calibration, which is far more important than most people realize, the most important part is calibrating the DISPLAY. Not running a color profile. You do realize your display, be it a monitor or a TV has all those color/contrast/gamma settings built into the display itself? Well those things are there for a reason. If you get your shiny new monitor, set it up, and never bother to fix those you’re guaranteed to be looking at an inaccurate image. Plain and simple. That results in say a game that might look slightly off on a properly calibrated display looking TOTALLY off on an uncalibrated display. While this Crysis remaster may not look 100% accurate on its own, your cheap Acer monitor running on default settings pushing blue and over accentuating contrast is making the game look ten times worse. If you got your monitor properly configured, EVERYTHING you do on it would look better.

          17. “EVERYTHING you do on it would look better”
            Except this game which is remastered by baboons, you know sometimes things are just poorly done, no need to justifie everything, what’s next ?? You’re going to tell me that i have a bad keyboard because a game has input lag ? Or a bad GPU because the textures are sh*t ? C’mon…
            Like i said 1000 times earlier, i didn’t felt this on other games, if it’s a Crysis problem, then it’s a Crysis problem, maybe you just like the color tone and you think i see the screen differently while in fact we’re seeing the same exact thing and we just have different tastes, and some people who tried the game on Switch also complained about weird saturation, unless the Switch needs calibration too huh ?? Right ?
            And keep in mind that the XB270H isn’t a “cheap” monitor, just saying…

    2. Indeed. The assets may well be generally improved but the colour saturation levels are comically misjudged. The game now has a cartoon-like aesthetic which, for Crysis, looks ridiculous. As you say, it has the appearance of an inexperienced mod author inexpertly using ReShade for their first time. Awful!

      2. Competition would be putting it on all stores, with each store having its own incentive for you to buy it

        How is it competition to put it on a single store?

        Reply

          1. What does that have to do with what I said? And for whatever reason you’re telling me that, the game is still exclusive to a single store. What’s your point?

  13. The whole crysis ordeal just sounds like poor coding and not an actual behemoth of a game ordeal. The metro games always felt beefy when they came out and ran just fine. Crysis was just poorly coded imo

    1. I don’t get your downvotes or the negative comments against you…the remaster IS too “gamey” and over blown.

      1. You got what i meant.
        Instead of the realistic look the 2007 version aimed for, this one looks too vibrant, per current standards.

  19. What the hell happened to the shadows and actual natural lighting?.

    Why does everything look more cartoonish and bright as hell?. Like there’s so much blue filtering going on in that remaster.

    Reply

  21. 50 shades of green and blue. Guys this is probably related to HDR and color compression efficiency.
    For those who does not live near jungles, no this aberrant green is not natural.

  22. Gotta laugh at Digital Foundry’s most recent video about this game whereby they were given a studio tour of Crytek.

    They were seemingly so giddy from the five-star treatment that in the subsequent appraisal John was audibly pained to even allude to the fact it’s a (Xbox 360/PS3) console port, not a remaster of the original classic PC game. He couldn’t even bring himself to say it directly so instead simply glossed over it in a distinctly awkward and uncomfortable manner.

    1. Well, after taking money from both Nvidia and Microsoft on multiple occasions to produce sponsored content the days of DF having unquestioned impartiality and integrity are over.

        1. One would have thought the combined income from Eurogamer, YouTube and their Patreon would be enough but evidently not.

          It’s presumably the greed of the bean counters at Eurogamer parent company Gamer Network rather than DF chief and industry stalwart Richard Leadbetter.

    2. The access media will typically shill for companies in order to maintain their privileged access. Whether that be,

      – studio tours
      – developer interviews
      – invitations to lavish game launch events staged for the media
      – free gifts and merchandise
      – other preferential treatment
      – alpha/beta preview builds
      – early review copies
      – free review copies and DLC

      Doubly so in the instance the companies are also paying advertisers.

  27. I don’t know why my post about this was deleted before but I will try once again.

    I am giving away a GTX 980 Ti on TechPowerUp

    Just go to the Buy, Sale, Give Away forum to enter.

    I will pay for shipping but it’s only for USA entrants

    1. You are spamming and we do not allow spams. I mean, how ridiculous is this “I’m giving away a GPU on a different gaming/tech news website, please go there”. If you want our readers to participate in a fan giveaway, do it here.

      Don’t get me wrong, I know you have good intentions. I mean, you are not a general spammer 😛 . You’ve been one of our greatest readers after all. But that was a no-no comment.

      1. It’s not possible to do it here or I would have. There are no email accounts here.

        How could I possibly apply to the winner and get an address to ship to?

        Reply

        1. We can provide such additional details via Disqus for the winner, that’s how we have our giveaways after all 😉 . We’ve even gotten those that tried to trick us in the past 😛 . Anyway, I guess I was a bit too harsh but we have the “no-spam” policy. In the future we may allow such giveaways.

          Reply

          1. Then I would like to do a give away here. It’s a MSI GTX 980 Ti Gaming It will be shipped in it’s original box and I will pay the shipping but it will only be for USA only due to shipping costs.

          2. I’ve seen some that some have already replied in your TechPowerUp thread so it wouldn’t be fair/right. Edit your comment and add the TechPowerUp link instead.

          3. I have asked that thread to be closed over there because of the hate here. I will just give the card to Goodwill and be done with it.

    2. I told John about this, and according to him your post was considered as a spam.

      But hey, I know you are BEST reader here on DSOG, and I got a lot of respect for you, and your comments. I know that was just a personal promo from your side, not spam.

      Reply

      1. It was not any kind of promo from my side. It was a give away to my friends.

        But now it’s over. I will give the card to Goodwill.

        Reply

          1. I’m not selling the card. I’m giving it away and paying the shipping cost as well as long as it’s USA. I have given many cards away and mobo and CPUs on TechPowerUp and paid the shipping. Why anyone would call me spamming is beyond me.

          2. Ask John, because I don’t consider your comment as a Spam though. I know you are doing all this with a good intention. It’s not spam.

            I think there has been some misunderstanding here between all of us.

        2. I’m extremely sorry if I hurt your feelings though. Got your email as well. But please don’t be mad on me. What did I do ? I only requested John to look into your comment, that’s all.

          He considered your post as a Spam, NOT me. So I’m not sure why you are angry on me ? I don’t have the Mod/Admin rights to approve any comment which can be considered as a spam here on DSOG.

          Like I said before, it was John’s decision, because I told him your comment should not be considered as a Spam. If you don’t believe me, read this Chat snippet from SKYPE…IF you still hate me after this, then I’m helpless.

          My comment: “Btw, read 64K’s comment under this topic. Did you delete his post, or it got caught as SPAM ?”

          JOHN’s reply, “It’s spam and we do not allow it”.

          My reply:

          “I won’t call it a spam though, but just a personal promo gesture from his side. A give away. Btw, that guy is pretty good. You won’t find him trolling on DSOG though. Yes, the comment might sound like a spam, but his comments have always been good and on topic ! I think he is one of the best readers I know till now ! Please allow his comment to be visible and active on DSOG “

  28. Pretty minor improvements from 2007 to 2020 version I’d say.. Guess I’ll have to remind myself it’s a remaster and not a next-gen remake.

    There’s higher quality terrain, longer view distance and lods, new lighting model (although I think it needs more work), minor texture improvements.

    Colors are better thank original though. Googled some tropic island pictures to compare and I saw that original had really washed out and unrealistic colors.

  33. An interesting image comparison would be with Crysis + Mods.
    Definitely, I’m starting to see some important improvements in the remaster, but those saturated green trees still stand out, when compared to the original.

    Also, is it just me, or the trees actually have LESS details?
    If you compare the trees in the foreground, on the left (not the palm trees), you can see very unrealistic textures which make it look like an early 2000s game.

    1. A bit too cold, but definitely better IMO, nice work ! I don’t plan to buy the game for now since it’s on Epic and i’m not even sure if it worth the price, but if i do one day, i’m going to reshade it before even reaching the main menu
