A first glance, you can already see quite a few differences from the original Crysis that released back in 2007. Of course, I would have much rathered to have sen some in-game footage, but this will image do.
In this screenshot, we can see that fog is heavily used in the background, while the vegetation is more varied, while the draw distance has been improved. It will be interesting to finally see how this plays on our PCs when this is released later this month. Especially since Crytek is stating this remaster will push our PCs to the limit – which is even more reason why I want to see how the RTX 3080/3090 fares in this title.
