How Crytek are making their own monster hunter game with Hunt: Showdown – Red Bull

“Yeah, but can it run Crysis?”

It’s a phrase that PC gamers have used sincerely, and later, as a joke. As the developers of Crysis, Crytek have a storied history of making PC games that are visual spectacles, often requiring monster rigs to run at a satisfactory level. They also made the first Far Cry game for Ubisoft, worked with EA on the Crysis series, created Ryse: Son of Rome for Microsoft’s Xbox One launch and, most recently, even dropped into VR game development with rock-climbing title The Climb for Oculus Rift in 2016, before dipping back into first-person shooter territory with another VR game that same year.
