Crytek has stripped out the performance, fidelity and ray tracing options from the console builds and is concentrating on getting the right balance between fidelity and performance in one single mode. There are some changes in terms of available rendering modes, however.

Level of detail improvements are also in place. Texture resolution is significantly increased via 3D scans, the handling of materials is significantly improved (especially evident on aspects like vehicles and the view weapon), while lighting in particular receives a boost via a big increase in fidelity thanks to Crytek using its real-time global illumination systems - SVOGI - while screen-space reflections are augmented via a big increase in cube-map samples. The of-its-era teal and orange colour grade has been replaced with something that looks a lot better, while there is plenty of actual remastering in effect in addition to simply deploying the DX11 enhancements.

The baseline for Crysis 2 is the DX11 code then, so key features such as tessellation do appear in the remaster - but the team has gone beyond that. For the last two chapters in the Crysis Trilogy, Crytek has access to much better PC versions, built on more modern CryEngines that support DX11 features. Gradually, the missing content was restored to the game, but there's still the sense that the game isn't where it should be. For the first Crysis, Crytek chose to enhance the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions as opposed to the PC original, meaning that a plethora of features found in the 2007 original were absent. In terms of the production, we should be seeing a significantly smoother process this time around. Ultimately, it's all about ensuring that the remasters are the best that they can be within the budgetary scope of the project - which explains why there is no native PS5 or Xbox Series app. And in actual fact, Digital Foundry itself has taken a look at early builds and offered feedback (unpaid, to be clear). While Saber remains on point, Crytek itself has deployed more of its internal staff to guide development, to better realise the potential of the project. The actual development process itself has evolved significantly since Crytek's partnership with Saber Interactive on the first Crysis. Expect a higher resolution on Xbox Series X. As you'll see from the debug info in the top-right of the screen, Crysis 2 Remastered runs at 1440p native resolution and what we've seen so far shows a very close lock to 60 frames per second. It's back-compat plus then, with Crytek adopting a similar approach on Xbox Series consoles.

In terms of what we can show you today, Crysis 2 running on PlayStation 5 is fundamentally a cross-generational project - you're seeing the PS4 Pro codebase running on Sony's latest machine.

The full interview is embedded below, where we talk about the successes and failures of the Crysis Remastered project and the approach going forward in completing the trilogy. It's part and parcel of a developer interview we put together on a recent visit to Crytek's Frankfurt HQ, where we spoke to project lead Steffan Halbig and lead artist, Marcel Schaika. Set for release in the Autumn, Crysis 2 and Crysis 3 Remastered are heading for current-gen and last-gen PlayStation and Xbox consoles and Nintendo Switch and today we can show you the first footage of Crysis 2 running on PlayStation 5.
