I'm not saying anything specific, but maybe hold off on buying because
the Holiday Season will soon be upon this newsgroup, and who knows
what will be available for free then? ;-)

(That said... I was extremely disappointed with the remastered Crysis
games. The visual differences are not all that apparent, and if you
already own the original games it's really hard to justify the price
of the remastered versions. Especially Crysis 2, which was the weakest
of the trilogy.)

I had the graphic enhancement mod for Crysis 1. Wow, it was beautiful even though choppy sometimes.

"Crysis" had really poor support for multi-core processors. It's one
of the main advantages of the Remastered version... or it would be,
except that modern CPUs and GPUs are so powerful nowadays that even
running the unoptimized single-threaded version on most modern PCs
still offers more than enough performance to run the game at smooth
frame rates.

There's a reason the 'will it run Crysis' meme died out. Nowadays, the

I think we don't realize because the software devs get lazy with so much
processing power and stuff
