i have a gtx 570 and yes i have seen gpu physics in action but it depends. Most games utilize physics via the cpu so now you know what I mean when i say on par.

you mean what we see now, not what can be done

Therefore, the consoles are the exact same and the PC occasionally sees some advantages when the tech behind it is used

consoles will never be 'on par' with a PC in any arena of graphics past their first year of release

I think its time we have separate forums. Kinda get lost in the Console fanboys while trying to talk about PC spec C2.

I couldn't say it better. The Console-Wars have to end now. D:

The console wars did end a long time ago...

Some people just have difficulties accepting it

It has been said in several interviews that the console versions will be "almost" indentical.
And i was totally right about ps3 gamers claiming that crysis 2 looks not as good as Uncharted 2 or Killzone.
( Though Its a very early judgement and a very half baked one too, because theres only one picture so far)
You can read it in the comment section from the article about the "first ps3 pic" someone posted earkier in this thread. Ps3 exclusives arent as technically great as most people think. Or how many of you checked every texture and every tearing-effect and every low AA edge in these games? I have anolysed Uncharted 2, Killzone 3 and Heavy rain... and i can tell the games are just dazzlers compared to Crysis. These games mask their medium- and low-end textures with an excessive use of shaders and blurred backgrounds to keep the draw distance short.
The "real" (non upscaled) resolution isnt more than 720p and aa and af are almost not existing.
So the PS3 isnt an unlimited hardware power monster as these gamers think and as Sony makes them believe.
I think the ps3 is up to 10% more performance than the 360.. but only if the game gets optimised for the complex cell structure. Because even the cell cant compensate the remaining weak hardware components.
If you want the game to look "way" better than the 360/ps3 version.. you guys have to spent 500-800 € for a Pc.

Just because they aren't on the level of Crysis in terms of graphics doesn't mean that their bad games.

They are: They're Example: I'm glad that they're so nice to new members here.

Theirs: Belonging to. Example: My friends have lost their tickets.

There: Referring to something. Example: The science textbooks are over there on the floor.

i think im gonna get it on 360. IMHO, i just like the 360 controller and 360's are great for parties. i honestly dont really care about not having perfect graphics as long as they dont look like crap.

I am so sorry I can't believe I put that there.

If the current 360 players don't get a new xbox upon release, then i'll believe that they don't care about graphics.

Ewww Its just as bad as the 360 version...
dude, if this was a Crysis 1 Mod screen run on a high end pc people would be all over it. have you even seen what Crysis looks like in the less spectacular parts of certain levels + downscaled to 720p? in terms of shading this is a total win, the best thing about it being how the scene looks completely congruent. there are no irritating details like objects that are oddly lit compared to their surroundings - which happened a whole lot in Crysis. they have improved and if they upped resolution and texture quality everyone would think it's the best screen ever.

maybe increase field of view though.

case in point, look at this crudely upscaled and colorwise altered picture. disregard the artifacts (they were in the original picture already, not much i could do) and imagine the whole thing a lot sharper.

I didnt say Ps3 exclusives are "bad" games! Most of them are really great and fun to play!
My post was only about the technical aspect of these games and not about the gameplay or entertainment they offer.

I prefer not to have to deal with any potential hackers ruining my day in the future. I'm buying it for PS3.
Bad Excuse for buying on PS3. I wont justify the PS3 version on ONE SCREENSHOT from who knows how long ago.

Plus I am buying on Xbox 360, thought the multiplayer test was looking great! And goes to show that there trying to make a better Xbox 360 game. Plus the Xbox 360 version looks good, but of course to those PC elitists, its not going to look like your version on High or Ultra

If the current 360 players don't get a new xbox upon release, then i'll believe that they don't care about graphics.
So a New Xbox is better then the Old Xbox? lol thats great!
You know there just adjusted to be quieter and cooler?

i think im gonna get it on 360. IMHO, i just like the 360 controller and 360's are great for parties. i honestly dont really care about not having perfect graphics as long as they dont look like crap.
This. The game matters kids. Its not a benchmark. I have a great pc but its not going to run Crysis 2 on High or Ultra so why would I buy a better rig just so I could get a more graphically enhanced experience of the game?

Point is, there are options for everyone except the wii folk, but they're not really people jokes, just jokes.

Yes i agree with The game matters kids.It matters but still the graphic can have big effect on experience.I thought that graphic didn't really matter if the game was good like need for speed under ground 2.For ME this was best racing game ever, but when i played Burnout Paradise witch has only better graphic i change
my mine,not much the Underground 2 is still better as a game but Paradise has far better sense of speed WOW. The sense of speed was incredible because of graphic.It's like this try playing Crysis on low and then on very high and you will sea difference.
So to sum up: The game matters but graphic can enhance your experience and make your adrenalin level rise.

If the current 360 players don't get a new xbox upon release, then i'll believe that they don't care about graphics.

No truly solid info, but it's known that microsoft will likely be using an AMD fusion II part for the successor to the 360, which is a very quiet, cool mainstream PC part. Mainstream being cheap as hell but also performance light compared to high end parts. the xbox and 360 were both high end at launch.

This, and the moves they are making towards the PC market (return of exclusives and renewed manpower in GFWL?!! WTF M$? GTFO and leave PC gaming to valve!1!) means one thing:

The xbox 3 will be a casual gaming platform while the PC will become microsoft's 'hardcoe' platform. I personally don't like the idea of it, i'd rather keep the xbox live players on xbox live (not to be harsh, of course, but my extensive experience of xbox live makes PC gaming so much better for me) and it reduces choice. But all evidence so far indicates such a two pronged market attack from microsoft, and it would be a very good choice for them. Instead of a jack of all trades for the games division, they will gain two kings (considering the PC already competes very effectively with consoles without a sugar daddy).

I reckon sony will be the only company left with a traditional console next generation, but even then it's not certain.

Also, i do laugh at 'graphics don't matter'. Why did you buy an xbox 360/ps3 when ps2 generation games have the same complexity overall and are cheaper? No matter what such people say, if their chosen platform looked the best they'd be all on these type of forums spamming 'we're da greatest' like flies to a turd. 'Graphics only matter' to fanboys when their platform is the best. Fact.

I, however, know that for more immersive games we need better graphics. Simple as that, and anyone arguing otherwise should go slap themselves in the mirror. repeatedly. Gameplay is very important, but do you really think games like mass effect could have their impact in 8-bit colour? hell no. Those who argue against graphical improvement are short sighted and thankfully are not those who drive this great industry to achieve the heights it should attain. It's also not about pushing as many pixels as you can either, it's about being able to create a world the player can truly believe in, and that becomes much easier when you don't have some bug eyed freak staring at you every time you talk to someone

Can we PC users get a separate forum. Soon there will be console fanboys completely taking over and quite frankly its annoying. Let these 'tards fight it out here but us PC users like to talk about Specs besides "Xbox is better than PS3" and vice versa.

You guys do same thing as well, I don't really see why people care about whats better or worse at the end of the day we all are gamers. And I 'm tired of people going on about hardware what happen to taking about games mon I miss those days.

are you serious? i havnt seen more than 5 posts of xbox vs ps3. and yet half of this thread is saying why pc is better than everyone!!

Well in order to not offend you guys it would be nice to have separate forums

Its the only way to keep the peace.

*Edit*

I have all consoles, minus the Wii because I work too many hours to go home and start waving my arms around. But typically, and I can see whats happening, when you get all of just "gamers" jumbled into one forum you get these little thread wars going and it's just plain annoying. Now, when it comes to Crysis I'll be the first to tell you I'm PC first. It was born on PC, and it will be better on PC thats just the way Crytek makes their games. But, I never said it would svck on the consoles. Visually it will be inferior with all respect but it won't be worthless and I've said it before I'm going to get it on all platforms because I have friends on PC, Xbox Live, and PSN.

But, you have to respect the fact that Crysis was born on the PC and we Crysis fans while we respect that it's coming to consoles, have to dodge the Xbox>PS3 PS3
You cannot stop the fanboyism, you can only hide it. Which is why I'm saying we should all have separate forums so fanboys can swim in their own ignorance. And this post is coming from a multi-platform gamer.

We're not going to split the community up like that. You guys need to learn to get along. Failure to remain civil to one another, regardless of what platform you game on (seriously, how ridiculous?) will result in your inability to get into further arguments.

In any case, this thread is about Crysis 2 on the PS3, lets leave the Xbox pvssyr to a different thread unless it directly relates to the topic somehow

Cheers

thanks man, i was a crysis fan from the start i had it on pc, and i liked it. but for crysis 2 i just want to play on xbox so i can be with my xbox friends. Im getting sick of being told im "not a real crysis fan" id like to get along without dividing up the forum
