Crysis 1 didnt have HBAO, it had very unoptimized SSAO, because they pioneered this technique.
For example in Crysis 2 they increased SSAO quality and still improved its performance 10 times.

Sounds like fun. Gotta give them a try one day. Anyway, if the remastered trilogy is coming out, all we can do is hope Crytek optimizes well for both consoles and don't go for parity.
A few games on PS4 seem to handle HBAO just fine. But yeah, tessellation probably won't make it into the console versions. Can't say I care much. I'd take POM any day of the week.
Edit: Just saw the post above. I was wondering why you mentioned Crysis 1 having HBAO when all I remembered was SSAO. Wasn't it the first game to use SSAO? Anyway, SSAO should be far more optimized now. Or maybe Crytek should use SSDO.
oh right i forgot about that. i'm sure a rerelease would use CE3's HBAO anyway.

Crysis 1 is one of my all time favourite FPS's so I would buy a trilogy remaster...can't say I care for it's sequels however with the exception of Warhead
SSDO
Yep
HBAO was created by DICE and first used in BC: Bad Company 2
@aeolist
Dont worry, it can be quite confusing with all those acronyms
I mean we have MSAA, CSAA, MLAA, FXAA, SSDO, SSAO, HBAO, DLAA, SMAA, TXAA and probably 5-6 more that i dont remember now
What in the Sam heck is DLAA? Never heard of it. Download Link Anti Aliasing? XDYep

And you're forgetting HRAA, SSBC, SSAA, TSSAA and others I can't think of.

No additional functions
Supposedly they're making a dinosaur game for VR.

I was pretty disappointed they made the Lost Island DLC MP only. I always wanted to know what happened to Prophet toward the end of Crysis 1 and these maps seemed like a perfect set piece to tell that story. Anyway, it's a good indication of Crysis would look like running on the latest CE and proper hardware.
Its post processing AA technique (Localized anti-aliasing) created by Lucasarts for Force Unleashed. Pretty good, but very blurry.

No wonder I never heard of it. It's not even widely used.
Tessellation based displacement mapping is superior to POM I believe, thugh POM might be cheaper? Don't recall.
I'm not sure. But IIRC, POM is cheaper and it looks almost as good as tessellation based displacement mapping IMO.
Crysis 2 isn't even on PSNow....
POM is much cheaper, its basically shader that makes textures look like 3D geometry, where tessellation creates actual polygons.
Yes, I'm sure they're tons of people who haven't played them on PC.

c2 multiplayer was the best. All dlc and all 4 game? I'm in.

Warhead's alright, but the levels never felt as open as in Crysis.

yea the multiplayer was great for a while before the hackers and the pirates showed up. i really loved that roof map
Yep. I think they could hit 1080p60 fairly easily by sacrificing many of the more demanding settings. It could still look nice and run well.
Maxed out, though? I doubt they'd hit even 30 fps.
Are you talking about Crysis 3? If so, I agree. Turning shadows and shading down to high with the rest at very high should be enough to get the PS4 running at 1080p at close to locked 30FPS. But the PS4 should be able to run the first Crysis maxed out at 1080/60.
60fps? I dont think Jaguars can keep up with grass physics in 60fps even with low level optimization. Stock i5 2500k has hard time with 60fps in parts of levels with tons of grass.
The multiplayer in C2 was alot of fun, but on consoles i'd never seen such terrible p2p servers. One person (the host) would have full green bar connection, and everyone else was on yellow/red, mostly red. It was laughably bad. If you became the host you became the terminator, otherwise you had no chance. C3 multiplayer on PC was a good laugh too, and it worked.

The trade was worthwhile IMO, there's select levels in Crysis I enjoy replaying while I can and have happily blasted through Warhead many times.
Crysis does have my favourite level in the series, though, which was Assault. There's an alternate universe where Crytek used that level as a foundation for the rest of the series and ascended into godhood.
Nothing strange about liking Crysis 2. I can think of very few better shooter campaigns in recent years.

Yes you're right. The name can't be changed. Crisis 2 isn't even on ps now as well which means this guy was definitely running crisis 2 on ps4.

I thought HBAO was created by Nvidia :

I just liked the first crysis... What I loved was far cry, but they sold it. Crysis 2 and 3 wasnt my thing.

Not sure, but for today I'm only expecting God of War III Remastered.
You're right, i thought it was DICE, because they were talking about it in their paper and BC 2 was first game to use it.

I like Crysis 2. Like a fair bit actually.
Crysis 3 was gorgeous but by far the worst of the three. At least 2 was good at providing multiple routes within their areas, 3 not so much.
Sure, it was smaller than 1, but compared to other shooters coming out at the time, Crysis 2 was still much more open-ended. Underrated game. Just clearly not as revolutionary as the first.

Yea if they were 'remastering' it they should throw some cash Maldo's way and use his textures.
That's not how long lights cast shadows...that's now how glass casts shadows. Know your limits, and don't put those kinds of things in your games.

I thought the exact same thing. Maldo's work literally MADE that game into the game that crytek SHOULD have done in the first place. I can't believe I preordered that and got burned so badly after how awesome the first game was.
Crytek were clearly developing for the consoles and their "HD texture" update was a total joke.

Huh? They were quite similar. I could understand liking 2's better but loving it and hating 3's makes no sense to me.
If they can actually nail matchmaking I'd be very down for a remaster, but if it's a repeat of the shit they pulled for 2 and 3, the online population will be gone within a couple months.
