The weird thing is that it had low quality settings to make less powerful pcs be able to run it.
And you could fine tune basically any setting.
The joke is i don’t think any “future pcs” can run crysis now since it’s not compatible with new windows versions iirc. I got a cobwebbed copy i can’t play in my steam library rn
Still looking great at FHD resolution.
If you do that today gamers will cry about it being “unoptimized”
People complain about it because modern games run horribly compared to older games and don’t look any better. Modern games really are unoptimized.
Gamers back then were crying about it being unoptimized back then too. There is no care about what the game accomplishes, only that it has to run perfectly smooth on their hardware.
This headline is several kinds of title gore.
What’s the point in making a game that only works well in the future where other games look better or you stopped caring? I never played crisis then and I tried it recently and it felt outdated and cheap so I put it down
It worked well, it just had the capacity to upscale when the tech made it.
Like having one car and owning a two car garage, it doesnt not work but it does give you options.
So poorly optimised you need future technology to run it isn’t the future proofing strategy I’d go with, but ok…
It was not poorly optimized, it was things like draw distance and texture resolution.
