Crysis’s stunning looks came with a hardware price, which gave birth to the “Can it run Crysis?” joke. “The aim was really to set another benchmark, which Crysis … has achieved because [the ‘Can it run Crysis?’ meme] has been used for almost two decades. Every time a new hardware was launching, Crysis was the referenced game.”
As Crytek founder Cevat Yerli explained in January, the team “want[ed] to make sure Crysis does not age, that [it] is future proofed, meaning that if I played it three years from now, it should look better than today.”
Crytek decided it couldn’t be “a typical German game company” that makes strategy and RPG games. “So our idea was to offer an experience … where you can also see the environment, walk around, experience everything.”
