The gameplay trailer for Crysis Remastered, that was supposed to be unveiled tomorrow, has been released earlier than expected thanks to a listing on the Microsoft Store. Crytek announced yesterday on the game’s official Twitter account that the first gameplay trailer for the remaster would premiere on YouTube tomorrow, Wednesday, July 1, 2020, with the description simply stating that pre-orders are coming soon.
Crysis Remastered was officially announced back in April with a teaser trailer that showed off a graphically improved Prophet, one of the series’ major protagonists. The teaser trailer also revealed that the game would be released on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch. It will be the first time in the franchise’s history that an entry, despite being a remaster, will be released on a Nintendo console. Originally released back in 2007 for the PC, Crysis was one of the most graphically impressive and computationally intensive games of its time.
A page for Crysis Remastered went live earlier than expected on the Microsoft Store, which revealed not only the gameplay trailer but also the game’s release date of July 23, 2020, among other things such as 4K HDR support for the game’s Xbox One release. While the page on the Microsoft Store has been taken down, the trailer has been re-uploaded by PlayStation Gaming on YouTube. The gameplay trailer shows that Crysis Remastered will be a straight remaster of the original rather than a remake, the latter of which becoming increasingly more popular over the former in the last few years.
According to Crytek’s official announcement for the game, Crysis Remastered, which is being co-developed by Saber Interactive, will feature quite a large number of graphical enhancements including “high-quality textures, an HD texture pack, improved art assets, temporal anti-aliasing, SSDO, SVOGI, state-of-the-art depth fields, new light settings, motion blur, parallax occlusion mapping, and particle effects (where applicable).” Other graphical features such as volumetric fog, shafts of light, screen space reflections, and even software-based ray tracing will also be included with the remaster.
Despite being a straight remaster, rather than a full-blown remake, it will still be exciting to see the classic first-person shooter upgraded with current graphical technologies. It will also be interesting to see how the game will look and run on the Nintendo Switch and how big of a disparity it will have compared to its release on other platforms such as the PC. Hopefully, Crysis Remastered on PC will once again push the limits of current-generation hardware with its graphical fidelity. Fortunately, the remaster’s release is only a few weeks away so fans will see soon enough just how good (or bad) Crysis Remastered is.
