Few games can claim to possess the legendary status of Crysis – a title so far ahead of its time when it launched in 2007 that enjoying the fully maxed experience on even the most high-end hardware of the period was a pipedream. Built in an era before the many-core CPU paradigm was firmly established, it’s still impossible to play the game through completely at a locked 60fps – even on the fastest PC hardware available today. The franchise has been dormant since 2013’s under-performing Crysis 3, but last week’s reveal of Crysis Remastered has got us genuinely excited. We’ve been hearing the occasional rumour for a while, but now it’s real, it’s actually happening and we can’t wait.
