Crysis, Crysis 2 and Crysis 3 are now backwards compatible.

Great additions, especially since Crysis 3 was part of GwG.

Shame Crysis 1 never saw a Physical release though.

Maybe there was a lack of faith in the product, I sense cheap development.

It was only $20, optimization isn't great and a mission was taken out because it was too demanding. I enjoyed it, bought it on day one, but not really built as a retail product.

Would be good if Crytek did a re-release/remaster of the entire trilogy on a single disk for the modern consoles. (Including Switch.)
I was part of the PC crowd who spent thousands overhauling their rig just so it could play Crysis... So never did play the console versions as it felt like a downgrade... Crysis is just one of those games that can be easily "enhanced" for newer platforms as the enhancements are essentially pre-existing, even for the original 2007 game.

Mostly for visual reasons, Crysis is a major downgrade on console. At best they were viable ways to experience the trilogy, kinda like Doom 3 and Half Life 2 on Xbox.

The problem with remasters is EA doesn't really do them, Burnout Paradise might have been their first. It might be something they consider more given they're struggling a bit at the moment.

People want a Crysis trilogy on current gen, they should be able to handle the trilogy at max graphics settings. Maybe even 60 fps on mid gen upgrades. The assets aged well, above average graphics.

Crysis 1... I.E. The PC version would probably be interesting to see ported to the current consoles.
It's notorious for being a CPU hog on just a couple threads... I.E. Everything that Jaguar isn't.

CryEngine 3 was used for the console port of Crysis, the same engine that was used for Crysis 2 and 3. Hence, they used the engine that was optimized for consoles, CPUs with more cores, etc.

I'm no expert but I assume they were able to transfer the game code and make tweaks so the game would be less resource intensive, but made some visual improvements as well due to new features in the engine. Hence, it makes sense to stick with the more modern engine given it fixed the hardware issue you're referring to.

If anything, its a shame they weren't developing Crysis 1 on CryEngine 3 for PC as well. It would have generated more money for them, would run better and that could have been the version ideal for a future console port.

A bunch more games on BC, I said after we got MGS games and the support Konami had previously shown for BC that the Castlevania games would be next, Seems I was correct :)

Just Cause

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate HD.

There was also a few things lost in that transition though.
Crysis 1 on CryEngine 2 had a very demanding rendering pipeline hence why the original game couldn't get downported to last gen consoles... It was like Crytek wanted the best of everything, rather than make a heap of visual compromises like they did with Crysis 2.

Hopefully we get what we want at some point... Port the games to CryEngine 5.5 and let them shine on the Playstation 4 Pro, Xbox One X and PC.
