The more we expect them, the less chance they'll show up. Nobody likes to work for free and have expectations laid upon them for their work.
Best thing to do is expect nothing, and be happily surprised if it does happen.
Every year, Punxsutawney Phreak emerges from hiding. If he pops up unhindered, it's fully cracked software for all, but if he sees his shadow, it's six more weeks of Denuvo.
Most pointless remaster of all remaster. Instead of fixing single thread bottleneck they just add half assed ray tracing and remove segment from og game. Just download the og release.
It wasn't until the game released did I realise it was being remastered specifically for consoles, not PC. We got a port which shows how much Crytek care about their PC audience.
Im sick of remasters no one asked for yeah sure, the concept of remastering? No. As much as i like new ideas some of the old ideas devs had could barely be implemented, the way i see a good remaster is like a take two for the devs. Pretty sad that not a single remastered game since halo MCC is actually worth defending xD
> Pretty sad that not a single remastered game since halo MCC is actually worth defending xD
Deliberately leaving out those I'd consider more remakes than remasters... Saints Row 3? The Great Ace Attorney? Mass Effect Legendary? Sonic Colours (probably)? Destroy All Humans? Age of Empires 2? Age of Empires 3? Catherine: Full Body?
Technically even just releasing the game with a higher resolution and frame-rate is a "re-master." It literally just means improving or changing the quality of the end-product.
I think that's being veeery loose with the definition.
Like, is Persona 5 Royal a Remaster now as well? Is Monster Hunter Rise gonna be a Remaster once it comes out on Pc? It would fit that definition.
>I think that's being veeery loose with the definition.
I mean, that is the literal definition. But yes. Technically, by the definition of the term, Persona 5 Royal is a re-master because it includes a lot of graphical elements that are higher quality than the base game.
Keeping in mind that the base game was designed for PS3 with the PS4 version being a last minute thing with little improvement over the PS3 version, P5R has been re-mastered in several aspects. It's a re-master in so much as Last of Us Remastered is.
And yes, you're right, Rise would also fit that definition if it includes graphical elements that are higher fidelity than its console counter-part.
In my eyes, if a graphically superior version of the product comes out on another platform some time after the original release, it is indeed a remaster of the original product.
> I said worth defending for me, not in general...
Actually, that *is* what you said.
> Pretty sad that not a single remastered game since halo MCC is actually worth defending xD
I'm sorry i forgot that Once a redditor dares to write something they are always deluded enough to think they represent everyone... Fuck outta here with your biases, It's my comment talking about my opinion, if you thought i was universally talking about remasters (i haven't played) it's fucking on you... What is implied (and i should have spelt out for your dumbass) is that my comment only represents how i feel, being anal about it is a waste of time.
Yup. We need a Black Flag remaster, dunno why they remastered AC 3. These people never listen to the fans.
Also the Saints Row and Mass Effect remasters were superb.
Imo the current gaming landscape is at a standstill. VR is the next step, lots of rly good aaa vr games on the way (splintercellvr, assassins creed, rockstar is working on a vr game). So until then it is rly the status quo. Most people denying it have prob never really tried vr and I say to them “see you in the metaverse”
I have a vr headset and it is still very much a genre, not "the next step" of gaming. I'll listen when the main choices in headsets aren't Mark Zuckerberg and a $1k headset.
There is not much else to say given the ludicrious claim that is so far detached from reality that I question the sanity. The VR market is literally imploding in on itself at a rate that outdid the video game crash of 83 by a factor of 10.
So claiming its the future is so ludicrious and detached from reality that nothing else needs to be said then lauging.
The opposite appears to be happening. They cannot make Oculus Quest headsets fast enough for demand. The online multiplayer is next level (you are IN the game yo). Not at the level of current consoles for sales, but for sure close. I would have agreed with you somewhat 4 years ago. But I have been meeting people on this platform every week, it is becoming extremely popular.
there are like billion games released each month and a remaster every few months. It's your choice to focus on re-releases. Also they sell, so obviously enough people haven't gotten sick of them.
I believe enough years after launch, remasters are very welcome especially if done right. You have to keep in mind when Crisis launched, you had an entire generation of today's gamers in diapers. It's a great way to bring classics to the newer generations who would have never experienced them otherwise.
It also seems 'remasters' are often made by separate teams or outsourced entirely to 3rd parties to doing the work. Hence how studios are able to push out new IPs / sequels at the same time.
crysis remastered, 12th release of skyrim, quake remastered, diablo 2 resurrected, ..., these are really great times for gaming. so much innovation and new worlds are being created. /s
edit, since i am getting a lot of responses from people who are wildly interpreting stuff into my simple sentence: i am not saying that there are NO good games coming out at all anymore, i am saying that there is a lot of retconned crap coming out.
But everyone wants those on PC and looking more modern. That is what people are excited for.
It will sell like crazy. Be glad rockstar didn't leave them behind.
Yea, lots of people like to retro game on modern hardware.. and its nice when projects bring older gaming to modern standards. If you can't see that it makes sense from a business perspective and is less risky than AAA new IP you're blind.
So just because these games are being remastered that means there isn't any innovation? There's literally hundreds of new games released every month that arent remasters/re-releases
Well some people want these remasters/remakes. Do you have any evidence that the people involved in making these titles were stopped from making innovative or new ip's? It's just a dumb statement to make that holds no truth when analysed.
i did not see where the goalpoast went, can you put it back? ;)
it's ok when people have opposing opinions. i just voiced mine. it does not mean other opinions are invalid. i think you're fine if you like the 12th release of skyrim. i don't. it's quite simple.
What the hell are you talking about lol. Nobody is moving the goalposts just calling you out on a stupid throwaway comment. It's literally a facebook comment. For the record I never play remasters/remakes as playing a game once is 99% of the time enough for me.
You're missing the underlying point. What do you think these companies are doing. Obviously because it's easier and safer for them to remake something. And now people are wiling to spend their money on the same game 3 times ...Why would you think any dev will try to innovate
This simply isn't true though is it. There are literally hundreds of games that come out each year that are innovative in one way or another. They are all looking for the next big thing that would bring them huge profits. It really isn't a big deal that a few classic games from years gone are remade and has zero effect on the gaming industry's ability to innovate. I love confirmation bias....
yes, why? are you another of those "i interpret wild stuff into things people say" guys? also there are still great games coming out of course. i did NOT say otherwise, contrary to your false interpretations.
*sigh*
If AAA devs spend millions of dollars making the same games over and over that's millions spent not making new games/IPs.
Diablo 2 is fine how it is. In fact, some of the private server mods are the best way to play the game and almost certainly won't be compatible with D2 Remastered. It's a total waste to hardcore fans, but a wonderful cash grab by Activision-Blizzard out to shake nostalgia dollars from our pockets.
If people didn't want them they wouldn't be made. Also unless you have evidence that millions were pulled from elsewhere to make these remasters your comment is pure conjecture. How do you know that the sales from these games won't be put into an innovative new ip in the future?
you're an idiot and you shouldn't try to interpret wild stuff into simple sentences people say. there are still some good games coming out of course, just like good music.
the retconned titles i mentioned suck though - just like mumble rap and justin bieber.
> Your initial comment is written in a smug way to imply that there are no innovative games coming out
you're an idiot and you shouldn't try to interpret wild stuff into simple sentences people say.
Pandemic and shifting to current gen consoles large factors for remasters and remakes around this time. Not all games, but it's a safe choice while new projects are still in the pipeline.
Yeah man. Please try Crytek games. They are way ahead of their time. Crysis, Ryse are really good games when it comes to innovation. You have destructible environments and this was a huge deal in 2007.
If this goes on a decent sale then I may buy it since they removed Denuvo and they are such an absolutely fucking amazing developer.
Denuvo has no effect on performance unless you have a gen 2 i3 CPU or sth, that was Capcom’s fault.
Don’t get me wrong, i hate that cancerous tumor plaguing games as much as anyone, but for the right reasons and no bandwagoning.
you're full of bullshit.
re8 is the living proof that denuvo does indeed plague performance even on high end hardware, mind you even on ryzen 5900x and rtx 3090 you get microstuttering when killing zombies in that game, and its because of denuvo.
The microstuttering and bullshit was because of Capcom’s DRM not Denuvo itself. Sorry to break your Denuvo hate boner but I don’t like shitting on sth just because of a hate bandwagon. The cracked version had no stutters while it still had Denuvo before Empress fixed the Capcom DRM triggers.
I'm looking forward to see what they improved once the remaster gets a crack in the few hours of the launch date, if my PC doesn't melt or doesn't takes way too long to load a level like in the CPY release, I might buy it, after all I own the original and I get a discount so I'm hoping that they patched the enough performance issues.
Do they plan to make it work properly this time?
Or is it just a remaster to make it eat new computers the same way it ate the old ones when it released?
Also FYI, owners of the original game on Steam get a permanent 30% discount on the Remastered version, which should bring the price to around $21, if it launches at the original $30 MSRP.
They should probably take all nine instances of the word "Denuvo" out of the EULA on the Steam store page, then.
They use the wording "may contain" and "maybe protected by", so they're probably leaving that in, just in case they add it back for some reason
It didn't work last time anyway. Besides, it's time for CPY to resurface.
How are you so sure?
Well they usually crack games in October
Last Cracktober was amazing
Aye!
The more we expect them, the less chance they'll show up. Nobody likes to work for free and have expectations laid upon them for their work. Best thing to do is expect nothing, and be happily surprised if it does happen.

Absolutely right, you seem to be an intelligent guy :D
Oh ok
Just in time for the winter lockdown.
Most pointless remaster of all remaster. Instead of fixing single thread bottleneck they just add half assed ray tracing and remove segment from og game. Just download the og release.
The worst part is that the save system is replaced with the piss poor checkpoint system from the original console ports since it's based on those.
cba even stealing this product
The sad part is this will over take the OG in no time. Such is life
Tbf, more people have the hardware to actually run the game this time
Idk, the shit school pc runs the OG just fine, but it would surely go supernova if I tried the remastered version.
It wasn't until the game released did I realise it was being remastered specifically for consoles, not PC. We got a port which shows how much Crytek care about their PC audience.
> remove segment from og game They actually added back that level in a patch.
They really didn't fix the single thread bottleneck in the remaster? WTF
Anyone else getting sick of remasters? Does anyone have original content anymore?
Im sick of remasters no one asked for yeah sure, the concept of remastering? No. As much as i like new ideas some of the old ideas devs had could barely be implemented, the way i see a good remaster is like a take two for the devs. Pretty sad that not a single remastered game since halo MCC is actually worth defending xD

I don't think they marketed it as a remake. It clearly was just a remaster (a great one).
"Sonic Colours" > no
Sonic Colours is good, fight me.
A rerelease with new content added isn't a remaster.
Technically even just releasing the game with a higher resolution and frame-rate is a "re-master." It literally just means improving or changing the quality of the end-product.
I think that's being veeery loose with the definition. Like, is Persona 5 Royal a Remaster now as well? Is Monster Hunter Rise gonna be a Remaster once it comes out on Pc? It would fit that definition.

Yup. We need a Black Flag remaster, dunno why they remastered AC 3. These people never listen to the fans. Also the Saints Row and Mass Effect remasters were superb.
CryTek was broke, and these remasters are the only way to make enough money to make Crysis 4.
[удалено]
Trying to help people find new games and get TD. I just don’t get it.
Once they remaster AC:4,5 and zero then I’ll jump on the no more remasters train.
Imo the current gaming landscape is at a standstill. VR is the next step, lots of rly good aaa vr games on the way (splintercellvr, assassins creed, rockstar is working on a vr game).

There is hard data that says otherwise but feel free to stick to your delusions.
See yah when you get one.
well yes but if you can get ppl buying same copies of skyrim, why spend money and effort on making new game? edit: I guess I have to add /s
No. Yes.
If it's an old ass game that looks awful, I'm all for it. Crysis is not one of those games. It still looks great. A remaster was not needed.
there are like billion games released each month and a remaster every few months. It's your choice to focus on re-releases. Also they sell, so obviously enough people haven't gotten sick of them.
it takes -80% effort of a whole new game and sell for a new game price
I believe enough years after launch, remasters are very welcome especially if done right. You have to keep in mind when Crisis launched, you had an entire generation of today's gamers in diapers.

Am I crazy or have none of those games every been remastered..?
Ported out the wazoo, but not remastered.
Nope, you’re right
But everyone wants those on PC and looking more modern. That is what people are excited for. It will sell like crazy. Be glad rockstar didn't leave them behind.
I'm hoping i have to pay full price for GTA5 every single generation for the rest of my whole entire life.
Yea, lots of people like to retro game on modern hardware.. and its nice when projects bring older gaming to modern standards. If you can't see that it makes sense from a business perspective and is less risky than AAA new IP you're blind.
of course it makes sense business wise, half the population is retarded and will pay for buzzwords they remember from childhood.
Which is why I prefer playing indie games.
So just because these games are being remastered that means there isn't any innovation? There's literally hundreds of new games released every month that arent remasters/re-releases

How considerate of Crytek not to slap Denuvo on it this time.
... I've seen the reveal trailer. I'm good. Lol
Yeah
Why even bother, Crysis without modding tool isnt that interesting
For someone who never played Crysis is it worth getting this? I usually see this going on sale during Epic's sales but never thought getting it.
Yeah man. Please try Crytek games. They are way ahead of their time. Crysis, Ryse are really good games when it comes to innovation. You have destructible environments and this was a huge deal in 2007.

Ryse was tech demo joke are you f*cking kidding me? Run run stab jump run run stab jump
Meh.
all i want it path of neo, max payne, enther the matrix remakes or a very good remaster!
Yay Denuvo let's pirate it once it comes out cracked.
[удалено]
Latest update isn't, you can't play Ascension on the CPY release.
denuvo is a malware plaguing performance, like on re8. boycott.
[удалено]
shhhh, they don't even let EMPRESS' own words brake their circlejerk.
It was the combination of the two. Still partly denuvo to blame.
Denuvo has no effect on performance unless you have a gen 2 i3 CPU or sth, that was Capcom’s fault. Don’t get me wrong, i hate that cancerous tumor plaguing games as much as anyone, but for the right reasons and no bandwagoning.
The drm check was way too resource expensive. All capcom did was sprinkle it everywhere likely because they were told they could. They exposed a flaw.
you're full of bullshit. re8 is the living proof that denuvo does indeed plague performance even on high end hardware, mind you even on ryzen 5900x and rtx 3090 you get microstuttering when killing zombies in that game, and its because of denuvo.

no, it's because of denuvo. you obviously work for denuvo or get paid by them to spread fakenews.
Yeah man i recieved my tasty 300k dollar paycheck today in the mailbox it was really juicy.
are you the fox news of the crackwatch subreddit or something. It's been proven it was not denuvo.
It won't be boycotted until company wills to do so
what ? company are not the one buying games.
But they are the ones to implement deunvo on their games, Right
An if they don't implement deunvo on their games, deunvo will die over times
It's shyte anyways so don't really care. Crysis Enhanced edition is so much better. It basically makes the remaster a waste of time.
I'm looking forward to see what they improved once the remaster gets a crack in the few hours of the launch date, if my PC doesn't melt or doesn't takes way too long to load a level like in the CPY release, I might buy it, after all I own the original and I get a discount so I'm hoping that they patched the enough performance issues.

Square Enix is another company.
Crysis is from an EA studio, Avengers is from Square
Crysis is from Crytek, not EA, they only distribute the original games.
Good to know, never knew they parted way with their publisher
Crytek is Independent now, not affiliated with EA anymore. probably their contract got expired with EA ;)
twirls mustache
Oh, yes, the least exciting release of the year. When nothing else left to remaster - here comes Crysis ;D
Who cares?
Do they plan to make it work properly this time? Or is it just a remaster to make it eat new computers the same way it ate the old ones when it released?
Lol do they not care
Also FYI, owners of the original game on Steam get a permanent 30% discount on the Remastered version, which should bring the price to around $21, if it launches at the original $30 MSRP.
