PC and PS3 version quality

Post » Wed Sep 01, 2010 9:23 am

Crysis 2, for PC and PS3 were basically Xbox 360 ports...(which may explain a better image color...as some people say) and the PC version looks a lot like the Xbox version...
This s**ks because, the PS3 and PC are more powerfull than the Xbox...

But, as I saw in a comparison from the demo, some water spouts that are included in the PC and PS3 version aren't included in the Xbox version...
At least, they did that... But that was just because of the Xbox's limitation...


And, I just learned that the PC version will not be a port... Which is great!

Ok, I don't want to start any Console War, so, I'm just gona say that the Xbox 360 will never capable of running PS3 exclusives (The PS3 has an awesome Nvidia card).
And the PC is the most powerfull.
But, the Xbox can do great things with those good'ol DVDs...
And both consoles have their Goods and Cons...


Now, What I am saying is, even if programming the PS3's graphics is long... We wouldn't mind waiting a bit longer for a better quality (the PS3''s Blu-Ray do have 25Gb discs).



I don't know how it will look like, but I'm just making shure the game wont go with the Badly Ported Games... (A.K.A. " PS3 looks less pretty and has a lower frame rate")...

There has been no news or footage of anything but the 360 version. What's your source that the 360 and other consoles have different water sprites?

Ugh. This thread is GOING to turn into another damn console war.

Dude, they already said that the game is being tailored to the PC separately from the consoles.

And the PS3 HARDLY has that huge edge up that you seem to think it has. The only reason PS3 exclusives have such great graphics is because the only way to coax that much performance out of it is to spend all the development time working on it. What it gains in power it loses in ease of development. This is why multiplatform releases often have nearly identical or even inferior PS3 versions.


Here's what we are likely to expect: the game will be tailored more or less the same for the PS3 and 360, and then will have a fairly distinct PC version. They already confirmed that it'll have a PC-ified interface, it's safe to assume that they'll keep other things in mind for the PC version.\


And also, learn to make better polls. Your poll is so one sided. It's either "I don't care", "Yes", or "The same as Oblivion". Where's the "Make the console releases the same and the PC version distinct" option?

The PS3 is only slightly more powerful than the Xbox 360 with a needlessly complex architecture that makes taking advantage of it expensive. It has the graphics capabilities of the 7900 series of nVidia cards. I have a PS3, but don't fall for marketing hype.

I couldn't care less about this kind of "console war" baloney. The game itself is what matters to me. The PC version will allow custom resolutions and will come with higher resolution textures. Anything more than that is a bonus. The more people that can run it on their PC the better too in my opinion, so optional features for more powerful hardware would be nice (though unlikely) but ones that raise the system requirements to display the game as well as the console versions would be bad for the series in my opinion. More sales equates to more money to make more games.

You're missing the point. I don't want them to make the PS3 a better version than the Xbox version, because that will mean delaying release for the PS3 folks. I have both a 360, a PS3, and a PC, and I'm planning on just getting the PC version of the game anyway. But the only way to make a PS3 game that is able to use those 6 asymmetrical cores effectively is to focus a lot on it's development, and since they are locked in to a 11/11/11 release, it's unlikely that they saw fit to waste their time making the PS3 version better (Especially considering that DLC is horrible to work with on a PS3 and the 360 has more market share, so it would be a dumb financial move as well)

But, they could make an update after the release, to make the PS3 versionequal or better than the Xbox... not lower.

They could also pay another company to make the port look good and bug less...

PC versions have always generally been better that the consoles (if you have the PC for it to be better.)

But this is kinda a one sided argument. Its probably going to be the same as the 360 port because then they only have to make 2 versions of the game not 3.

What they are doing.
360 and PC Make the ps3 port the same as the 360 port

What they would have to do to make everyone happy
PC, 360 amd PS3 versions all differnt for each system.

Yea.

But for Crysis 2... the graphic differances are very subtile...

But since I ordered a pretty good pc yeterday, some people would say that I don't care anymore, better I got a PC that I can put multiple graphic cards in...
Well I care.

I hope they take extra time and try to optimize the PS3 version. Even if they do not there is usually not that big of difference anyway between the two systems that people really notice. The only people who really notice the difference are fan boys.

Now PS3 exclusives are another issue all together and if this was a PS3 exclusive I am sure it would look amazing!

Yes, the PC version is definitely an XBOX port, because game developers have a tendency to design games on the PC, then make an XBOX version, then port that XBOX version back to the PC and to the PS3.

ok first off crysis 2 was developed on the pc and the pc, i will try to get the link up later

on topic now

dont worry if you have got a kick ass pc or a ps3 it will look great and remember even though Graphics are a major selling point of a game it is not the only selling point, look at DaggerFall (which i unfortunatly havent played yet) by today's graphical standerds its obsolete but it still has a major fanbase that is still growing even now and i will soon join that fanbase as well.

so the moral of the story here is Don't judge a book by its cover, another example of this would be prototype it lame graphics and a bad way of telling the story but was a hell lot of fun ripping hundrads of people to shreds a lobbing cars at people so peace :)



here we go here is the link http://www.destructoid.com/crytek-crysis-2-is-developed-for-pc-first-not-consoles-197050.phtml

or you can just read the post


"As with any previous PC exclusive that goes multiplatform, Crysis 2 has come under fire from the PC elitist crowd who bemoan the "dumbing down" of the game and declare -- without evidence -- that the game was made for console kiddies and ported to PC. Developer Crytek, however, challenges the claims.

"Fundamentally, we’re starting from our PC roots and then ... wrangling the consoles to our will to create that kind of gameplay and gameplay experience on consoles, not the other way around." argued executive producer Nathan Camarillo. "We’re not gonna get a console game and bring it to PC.

"[The console versions] look awesome, but [the Xbox 360 is] a five year old piece of hardware technology. The PC version with everything maxed out is absolutely mind blowing."

I don't get the whining, really. If a game is great fun to play, who cares if it doesn't look so good you can see every wrinkle in an old man's nutsack? I guess if you've spent thousands of dollars on high-end hardware, you'll want a game that can max it out, but you know what? Crytek isn't responsible for your financial decisions, son.

gotta love destructoid :P

If you were attentive to some of the GI interviews you'd know that they intended for all three platforms to be equal you'd also know some people are kind of peeved at this since it may result in no DX11 for the PC. as GI showed in the interview Todd states Beth is developing Skyrim equally across platforms.


this was not directed at the OP, rather someone above who stated PC Skyrim having an advantage over console skyrim

I'm a PC gamer. The X360 and PS3 are going to be almost identical are they not? The PS3 isn't that much more powerful than the Xbox.

This thread is such flame bait. I'm not gonna take the bait. I'm just going to say that I hope the PC version is given a little extra love because of the increased hardware capabilities.

Yes, for giving PC better graphics and things...


But, no to flaming...
It's just that if the PS3 is lower than the Xbox 360, it's ridiculous...

Devs work on all systems at the same time... BUT the 360 has some realy well made dev tools that make making certain things alot quicker.. So they get made on the xbox and moved over. Other things are simply easy to make on the pc and then moved over to both consoles.

As for ps3 abilties... remember for the most part the ps3 is limited by the fact it simple only has 256 megs of vid ram whereas the xbox has 512 megs of even faster ram it can use for vid OR game... It matters.
