and... This is Crysis 2 :



so... wtf??

Well Crysis 2 is based in New York. Thats rubble and concrete all over. It's not a game based in desert and not a racing game either.

That shows what CryEngine 3 can do mostly on PC.... it's not present in Crysis 2 not because the game cant handle it, it's because the console cant.

Do you expect super-high resolution textures on console? that was the first reason Crysis 1 didnt make it to consoles.

CryEngine 3 for sure , Crysis 2 Graphics are sooooo overdropped !

Its because the game is a console port and the engine itself is not.

Crytek UK did not develop appropriately for the PC version, only developed for the consoles and then PC was ported over and a very very slight graphics/draw distance boost.

After CE2, not impressed by either.

This has been on the cards since Crytek showcased the Cryengine 2's cross format real time editing capability. At that point I straight away became worried we would get a "by product" of the console games development process. Since that time I've taken an interest in which other companies might provide the next visual leap in case Crytek did not deliver.

Cryengine as i saw from tech demos has much potential and crysis 2 is using only 70% of it in terms of true graphics.Console jumping gave you this results:>

PS:I show a cam leak from bf3 on youtube and there is a builiding collapsing there also .WEll i have to say its 10 times better from crysis 2
