Can't wait for the return of the glorious "Can it run Crysis" meme!
Please PC only, and be a right melter. No compromise !
I also hope they include Warhead too.
It will also be the absolute best RT to date, will run on any brand of GPU and will look stunning. How do I know? because Noir told me so last year, when my Vega 64 threw it around like a rag doll on 1440p maxed.
Doesn't make your statement any more true nor authentic for that matter. Anything can change upon release.
It's using RT dude. So I would imagine that won't exist on consoles, is for the next gen of consoles or will totally melt consoles lmao.

How do I know? because Noir told me so last year, when my Vega 64 threw it around like a rag doll on 1440p maxed. And it looked incredible. And I know I may use that word too much being autistic but I mean, truly incredible.
Like, Port Royal looks like a black and white cartoon compared to their demo. It looks gash, and it looks like they just coated everything in it with the shiny side of some silver foil.
Noir on the other hand? I sat and watched for about two hours.
What will be totally gimped is the Switch version. However, seeing how Noir ran with RT (and bloody loads of it !) on my Vega has me confident it will look fantastic on consoles, albeit lacking RT.
I really hope they crank it up to 11.
What people somehow still don't understand is that RT must be run on purpose-built hardware and there is no going around that. It is the same reason why you have GPU in your system and you are not using CPU to render graphics. I really hope they use full-fledged RT for the remake.
But surely you only consider it the best because you've only seen it in a demo hand crafted to avoid its many flaws. Would you still consider it the best when they plonk it in a real game and you have reflections popping in and out on objects over 5 meters away though? Or the FPS tanking whenever more than a few objects pass a shiny surface?I don't care what methods it uses it's still the best RT I have seen anywhere. And it runs at a fair clip too.
If they come up with a game that looks anything like that it will be a major win.
Um no.
Its just 0s and 1s. Dedicated hardware for it or not it'll run. The problem is it requires a certain level of mathematics that GPUs currently are not quick enough to solve in real-time at framerates gamers want. That's why using special hardware that is purpose-built to calculate specifically for RT and other similar tasks are needed as they are basically an AISC at that point. Good for one(or few) things and that's it.
Its exactly the reason you can run it without RTX cards. Its also kinda the point of what Crytek is doing?
Eh? there's no logic in that.
Logic - last year Crytek released their new Cryengine demo with RT. It is the best looking RT so far. It runs on anything.
Logic - so no doubt it will use that engine.
Not logical - writing a complete new engine that's worse than the one you released last year with worse everything.
Go download Noir if you didn't already and then leave it looped whilst you study it HARD and see how incredible it looks. That isn't dishonest or "Not authentic" (Go on, you're young, you want to say fake) it's a statement of fact.
No other engine does RT looking anywhere near as good, nor at the performance of Cryengine. None.
I don't care what methods it uses it's still the best RT I have seen anywhere. And it runs at a fair clip too.

While I agree the Noir demo looked great, When compared to the 3DMark RT demo, Port Royal, It is quite behind in visuals and that crisp look, Why ? Because with the 3DMark bench they make use of full RT for reflections, Shadows etc... and even make use of Nvidia's RT cores on Turing cards, No shortcuts or "cheats" were used in Port Royal that were used in the Noir demo, I believe Crytek even mentioned in 1 of their earlier press releases that they used lots of tricks to mimic real RT that wouldn't really stack up side by side with a real ray traced scene.
I'm hoping they have 2 options for RT in this remaster, Software accelerated so it gives you a taste and hardware accelerated for superior visuals and the full experience.
