Crysis Remastered Trilogy vs Original | Direct Comparison 

I'm honestly just stunned by how great the original Crysis looks. I mean, that game came out in 2007, the same year as Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, yet the stark contrast in presentation is like night and day. Crytek really did go above and beyond with this franchise in that regard.

2:53 "it is still not as complex as the destruction in the original 2007 version, but it is an IMPROVEMENT nonetheless" the only game that is trying to catch up its previous self

Base Crysis 3 still looks great today and has a great multicore usage, which is great, lots of modern games didn't use as many cores that Crysis 3 did/does.

This is the single most competent remaster comparison I've seen. Instead of showing random scenes that all look the same, you picked scenes specifically to showcase what you're trying to point out. And it's dense. Congrats, you should be proud.

The fact these games looked THIS good way back in 2007 is insane, remaster looks even better, can't wait to try it out!

7:38 wow this theme is incredibly nostalgic, used to leave the main menu open in crysis 3 just to listen to the song

I still like the OG Crysis's color scheme more compared to the crysis remastered, the og crysis looks more natural while the remastered looks more colorful and vibrant

OG Crysis 3 blew my mind back when it was released on PC. It still does. Steve Ballmer lookalike made my day back then. 😆

Hopefully, Crysis warhead is coming too ? That spin-off was awesome !

It blows my damn mind just how utterly great the graphics have aged in the original Crysis trilogy. Definitely picking up this remaster.

I find it weird how Crysis 1 remastered has less realistic color lighting, where as Crysis 2 remastered is the reverse in that it goes for more realistic colors than artistic.

Wasted opportunity to make them look really great! Thanks for keeping it impartial despite the sponsorship

OG Crysis still holds up

Crysis is good no matter what version

When GTA The Trilogy The definitive edition comes out in November 11th wiil you compare them with the original trilogy?

I Know this may sound weird but can u compare at least crysis 3 with something like battlefield 1 or cod vanguard just to give an idea that how much development we have got from much bigger developers in terms of visual over the last decade

I think if you do a remaster, it should be superior in every way, otherwise it's just not worth the bother.

Now that Far Cry 6 can blow up trees, maybe a comparison between fc6 and Crysis original/remastered, both are descendants of the original far cry

One of my most beloved franchises. So many beautiful memories, I will forever love all these three games. Great comparison!

This is by far the best comparison video I've seen so far on here. Very detailed and straight to the point! Others need to take notes lol

Another great comparison video. High quality content as always.

The new trilogy needs a photo mode.

I was scared that because it's a sponsored video, you won't be allowed to mention flaws or criticize the remaster but 2:30 minutes in it seems you're still honest and critical

That God tier soundtrack for Crysis 2 ♥

I can't believe how old these games are and they still look multiple times better looking than some AAA from today

Really like your videos! A comparison between the 35 min E3 demo from Witcher 3 with the final release would be also really cool to refresh our memory before we get the next gen upgrade in 2022 :)

I wander around, marveling at the scenery and constantly take screenshots while playing the Crysis trilogy more than any other game series. I've been doing the same with the remasters. As good as the originals still look today, they did improve on a lot of things, and it's just been fun to replay the campaigns again. Just wish they would've added multiplayer.

Had no idea this remaster released, as always great video Nick. Can't wait for you big Battlefield video project to drop!

Thanks so much and for your reply. Great video

This is a great comparison but I just want to make two very minor corrections: The classic Nanosuit mode and going prone on a controller were already in the remaster at launch. At least on PC, the classic Nanosuit mode was added later in the console version and isn't in the Switch version to my knowledge. As for if I think the Remasters are good: I'm a Crysis fanboy, while I can admit the flaws of the games, if it has the name "Crysis" on the cover, I'll probably buy it. In my opinion, if you play on Xbox One S/X, Series S/X, PS4/5 or Switch, go for it, it's worth it. If you play on PC and don't have the originals it's good too, but if you already own the original games and expect anything new besides the graphical features, don't bother, except you're a Crysis fan like me or just really want to mess with RT, or both. But I will always remember Crysis Warhead! I hope this means we'll get a Crysis 4 soon, but I won't get my hopes up and I think Crysis 3 ended the series in a satisfying way back in 2013!

Great video as always Nick, I’m hoping we will get to see a comparison on the upcoming GTA Trilogy Remaster? Nobody does these quite like you my friend much love ! 💯

Looks like I'll try to snag both of these! Awesole comparison!

great vid!

Ohh i have waited soo much for this video.

For some reason the assault rifles in C1 remastered cuts all the echo off when bullets ends. The sound just cuts off like with a knife. That's a major oversight. The sound itself is better in my opinion, but the implementation is pure crap.

Great comparison!

I love your channel!

I wish developers still did stuff like this. Not only was the overall presentation amazing but, the way you interacted with the world was too. Remember when physics engines were a big deal in games? Like HL2 Gravity gun or mercenaries 2 or Red Faction. I wish devs still pushed these kinds of things. I love games like Teardown just for the spectacle and I wish we'd see more of that these days.

Bro your the best love your vice and your videos

I did small playthrough on all 3. They did a good job. I'm glad they remastered all 3 on 1 disc. "But can it run crysis?" Good times 😎

You gotta do the GTA trilogy when it comes out. You are literally the best at commentating and comparing when it comes to games.

Was about to skip the video because of the sponsorship, but stayed for your honest opinion which I agree on. Crysis 1 may look pleasing with it's lively colors, but it doesn't look like crysis anymore imo, more like far cry. Thanks for the comparison.

Just started playing the remaster for crysis 1. So good!

The 2007 crysis still looks like a 2021 game

They actually made seome very nice imporvements!

How do I view the crysis 3 Remast collectibles collected Menu on the xbox x controller to see how many collectibles I am missing or have - I can not find it. The old version on xbox bc showed number of collectibles found and number needed on the Campaign Screen at the main menu. (PC version of Crysis 3 ReMastered is not yet released on Steam, only on Epic store. I do hope Steam has achievements added on ReMast)

boss: we need more money from kids. developers: lets add more BRIGHTNESS and tell them its "REMASTERED" version. boss: excellent.

Can't wait for your GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition Direct Comparison

The original is still so impressive, even more so if you consider it came out only THREE years after Half Life 2...

When you said "the grass is too green" in Crysis 3 Remastered, I thought it was nitpicky but now I can't unsee it. LOL

Thanks, I have Crisis 2 and 3. Lost my key for 1 long ago. I was debating getting the Remastered trilogy for a $32 on sale or Crisis 1 for $20. Crisis 1 remastered seems like a let down. Plus, I'm usually to busy staying alive to sight-see. I didn't see any great imprisonments in spotting the enemy or things of that nature. I'll stick with the original on its highest settings. My computer won't break a sweat.

Crysis Remastered is actually $30 on Steam. Cannot wait to get back into 3. Haven't touched that game since 2014 and that was on the PS3.

Hello great video man

I wanna play some crysis 3 MP remaster! Actually can't wait for crysis 4 mp

Nick What Crysis You Like The Most(Btw I Never Played Cyrsis Before)

Only thing we needed was for Crysis 1 to include multi core support, and not make more demanding but still run at 1 core

As the video is sponsored by Crytek, i hope they are coming up with another spectacular title.

Yo got 420 k subs right now. Nice 👌

Im happy to see they patched and made improvements to Crysis 1 remastered. Crysis 1 is my favorite of the trilogy (i love all 3 games) and now im actually willing to buy the remaster. They really should add an fov slider. Make some cpu optimisations.

the first crysis still is the most reallistic looking even than the 2 and 3... cause those where made to work in consoles.... the thing is that the first one messed with grain and some filters and the lighting to look reallistic, even if the modelation isnt the best today, the first still looks better than the resmastered one.

i remember getting crysis 2 on the 360 and was amazed at how good it looked. it was crazy at the time one of the best looking games along with COD MW 2

I love your channel Is the best 😉👍

i was waiting for this

It's AMAZING how good the originals still look... Way ahead of there time

Hey Nick did you see the GTA Trilogy Definition Edition trailer. What are your thoughts

I don't see any reason to buy that if you own the original games (which I do) or you want it for current gen consoles, would be buying that in heartbeat if MP component was present in all games, or at least in 2&3, with all of their flaws, 2 & 3 provided me 100's of hour of fun, and I adored these games, best weapons and weapon sounds IMO, really miss those games

Just trying out crysis 1 (because it's in ea play) for the first time and I'm a pretty big fan. Wish epic didn't buy the rights to the other two remasters

It's funny how they modelled the "nuclear explosion" cloud with those vertical smoke trail left by the special smoke rockets that are launched seconds before the test blast to make reference lines to study the shock front. xD Or are those supposed to be trails from debris falling down?

Looking forward to GTA Trilogy Original vs Remastered!

14:30 This is the First time in the whole video where we see people talking to each other. 😂

I love this channel.

Funnily enough I prefer the light and colour of the original 1st and 2nd games and the 3rd has changes that are barely noticeable. Thanks for showing me I can save my money.

I'm glad to hear that Crysis Remastered now has feature parity to the original.

I only played the og crysis 2 and 3 on xbox 360. Now that I have a PC, I'd like to try them all out on PC where the series truly shines.

Considering I shoot weapons on a regular basis - the remaster has the more realistic harshness I am used to.

It's sadge that they dont have multi-player enabled i miss playing Hunt mode in crysis 3.

I'm excited to play all these once I get a more powerful pc. Can't believe I bought the trilogy for only $5 on EGS.

I think Crysis 1 Remastered was run in SDR in this comparison. For me when I run it in SDR it looks saturated but HDR brings back the more realistic colours.

11:14 - RIP speakers...

I always thought an open world Crysis similar to Far Cry could be great. With more abilities to your suit with upgrades/augmentations. Lots of options for stealth and or mayhem with vehicles and weapons. That would be my dream Crysis 4.

I like natural color in original Crysis.

As far as sound design, I don't like the abrupt the sound of automatic fire is cut off. The boom should settle down just like the shotgun blast does.

i gotta replay crysis, man i am in love with it

How did you get the original run on PC?

Do I get all the ultra PC settings on current Gen hardware or is it toned down

Mr Nick, Plz make a comparison of Mafia de and Rdr2 That would be sick!!!

8:42 - not sure if this is DLSS or some sort of DoF but the original looks quite clearly sharper.

crisis 2 sound design could have been improved

Its suprising to me how crysis 3 still can pass EASILY as a game from 2021. Like holy fucking shit, the game is beautiful. What i like the most is the clear image it provides. Like new BF games like BFV are impressive with frostbite engine, i mean no doubt about that, but they have all these "foggy" or "fuzzy", i dont know the right word but the reflections in water and transitions between level of detail that is really noticable when you are running forward and you see assets load. None of that on the crysis 3. Its just overall clean image. Hobestly even BF4 has these clean reflections and yea they might not be as impressive as in BFV but at least they are "clean". I dont know how to explain it, my first language is not English but post processing effects are horrible in BF1 and onwards, especially in BFV.

Good job! I bought the trilogy! For ps4

time to play all of the games again :D

1:07 That’s exactly how I tenderize my chicken before consumption 💪

Crysis 2 soundtrack was amazing

I love how in the remastered version You have the "can it run crysis?" graphics options

8:39 man I love cwysis 3

Which PC GPU was used for the comparisons in this video? Maybe a 3090? They are looking great though, glad to se they made improvements since the last release.

I'm happy about the fact that they improved the first remaster. As for the remastered trilogy, in general, i am satisfied with the result.

If it had multiplayer i would've bought it.

Does the new remastered not have quick and manual save options??

There's an Nvidia GeForce Now leak that confirms a Crysis 4 - can't wait!
