The worst thing about Crysis Remastered is that this stupid joke is going to come back to life. I'd still see it every now and again, but it had one foot in the grave.

I don't think it's stupid at all.

You don't have to play it or use the term. There is an alternative now; "Will it run MSFS2020?"

It's a standard that was very useful for helping those people not in the know understand in basic terms the power of a system. The remaster just takes that to the next level for current gen equipment. I think it's cool. But then again, I'm a big fan of the original game, so I have some bias and nostalgia going on...

the term that has been a meme even before "memes" had a name.
technically memes did have that name then (for maybe about a year or two), it also seems knowyourmeme was launched a couple weeks after crysis, which would require a somewhat large amount of people to have already been using the term 'meme'

then south park had a meme episode less than half a year later, so that means enough memes were already in circulation

No, you have to credit CryTek for having the balls to do it first.

I basically played through Crysis 2 and 3, while testing stability on my 980 Ti and 1080 Ti overclocks. Had no idea when the games ended, credits just started rolling.

As Linus pointed out, they need to use tessellation to give definition to those flat rocks though. Seriously, that's graphics staple now. Other things I would like to see in their benchmarking options would be concurrent INT/FP32 optimizations and explicit mGPU. 4K60fps easy there.

I did not know any of that. The first time I read the word "meme" in 2013, had no clue what it meant. Didn't really care either. Good to know though.

Well, it can't be any worse than the Half-Life 3 jokes.

the portal cake reference is the worst because it got used way out of context, it was supposed to be casual horror from within the game, not something to blurt out in person, it's not even that funny

crysis & hl3 or valve time are appropriate at least (i like the 'valve cant count to 3' version of hl3, noting valve's sequels always stop: left 4 dead 2, team fortress 2, dota 2, source engine 2)

We completely missed that one. RTX 3000 -- HL3 confirmed!
Damn.

Ah, can't say I have seen that, but it would not surprise me, though.

you havent seen people writing or yelling "the cake is a lie" since 2007?

(did you play portal? also, i was looking at hl1 prototype footage from 1996... it, or the training area, was exactly like portal test chambers, seems valve has had that idea for much longer than expected)

It's like knowing these memes is a test/validation of internet literacy or something.

Ah, yes. I just haven't seen it to the point of saying "this joke is overused as hell". Might be just me, though.

It definitely can be used to make a somewhat educated guess of someone's age, although with a rather large margin of error...

That thing was never accurate to begin with. Crysis was very well optimized and if you lowered settings it could be run och pretty low end machines.

it was actually extremely shader heavy, i've seen a 7800gs run at 2fps while an 8800gt would be 25fps on the same settings, it really couldnt run on older architectures 'the way it was meant to be seen', the low settings were awful in crysis 1 (while in crysis2, the lowest was named high, the visual difference was not at all jarring even with the performance gains)

later levels still top out at 80fps on modern 5ghz intel, so it's still lacking parallel optimization

I didnt know what a meme was until 2-3 years ago, I'm 39. I dont follow stupid internet trends, including words.

They just need to patch OG Crysis to make use of more than 1 or 2 cores. The game still looks amazing today for 2007 games. Only few textures are low res.

It was the last Crysis that was made with Cryengine 2 that was build only for PC and so can cater wide range of PC spec (and visual downgrade). Newer Crysis almost looks the same on lower setting because of console centric engine

I had a 7800 GT when the demo came out and it was borderline unplayable even on low/1280x1024 res.

~1 year later I built an entire new PC with a 8800 GT and that was about enough to play through the game on medium-ish settings, not sure about the fps numbers since I wasn't really checking back then but it was playable.
Monitor was also upgraded to a 1680x1050 res one.

It was kinda funny when my bro tried to max out the game with his E8400/8800 GTX cause thats what he was used to with other games and Crysis just noped his entire system.:laugh:

So far I find this remake extremely lazy and unimpressive. Low poly count kills it all

What made Crysis so cool was the looks and its physics engine combined. Can just play the pld version to get that running at great efficiency on todays hardware.
