Reminds me, did Crysis flop? (on consoles)

Or was there even a hype thread?

well, it's not the CGK first of all, secondly both the 360 and ps3 versions are equal, but each version does some things better than the other.

360 version runs at a higher resolution, has less screen tear, and has some sharper textures.

I really can't tell which one is better, they look way too similar to me. However, I think the general consensus is that the 360 version looks better than the PS3 version.

Sandvichman

I don't know for sure about textures, but I'm pretty sure that the PS3 version has 0 screen tearing, while the 360 has a very small amount. And I'm also pretty sure that the PS3 version runs at a very slightly higher resoltion. But the 360 does have a slightly better framerate. So who does this go to? Neither, they're pretty much identical. There's slight differences, but they cancel eachother out. So graphics king is a multiplat.

And to the people who are saying KZ3, why am I the only one who played the demo and thought KZ2 looked better!?

I'm talking about how the two versions are more or less identical. One excels in some departments but falls short in another and vice-versa.

And lens of truth said that it was a tie...

At this point why do we care. They look wayyy to close for there to be an objective decision, like there was when Uncharted 2 came out.

Somebody post pics of both versions, then wait patiently for an angry hermit to post Crysis/Warhead pics to counter the which console version looks better debate.

PS3 doesn't have any screen tear at all, 360 has a bit I believe.

Same as usual. Like all other multiplats, it's identical. But imho, Kz3 looks better and still console graphics king.

Resolution - 360 Performance - Slight nod to 360 Texture - 360 more consistant filtering, ps3 is adjustable with higher potential (4xAF vs 0-16AF depending) If you had to pick, the 360 has the slight nod but you can't go wrong with either.

They look practically identical. What difference does it make if one has 0.00001 more pixels than the other?

In the DF article I thought they say the areas where people are saying PS3 performs better are considered practically unplayable on both systems. When the frame rate does drop the PS3 handles it all a little bit better but does it matter if it is a little better if they still considered those portions unplayable on both systems? Overall they do say the 360 does perform better, run at a higher res, and has some better textures. PS3 Verizon has 0 screen tearing and some shadows that look better up close. The game does look phenomenal on both systems so go with theversion you have more friends to play with on line. I also have never seen these unplayable moments, not once, yet. I also have played the PS3 version and haven't seen anything to bad on either system. Maybe a little slow down here and there but definitely nothing I would consider unplayable.

The game definitely looks better than Killzone 3 to me. Not only did it wow me more right off the bat but it feels more wide open and with more destructible environments. It really just seamed more impressive with what they pull off all while maintaining the level of graphics they achieved on consoles. Not to mention Cows only throw out Killzone 3 to try and maintain the CGK crown because some sites consider the 360 version not only better but overall best looking game on consoles. Either way nothing changes the fact that Crysis 2 proved the 360 could achieve a level of graphics Cows touted wasn't possible on the 360.

GS? Sigh... Where do people get their statements from... Kevin V. specifically said Crysis 2 was not the best looking game...! And one more thing.. Crysis 2 : Outstanding Visual Design? Check Superior Animation? NEGATIVE Technically profecient graphics? NEGATIVE Killzone 3: Outstanding visual design? CHECK Superior animation? CHECK Technically proficient graphics? CHECK. Killzone 3 graphics accolades: 3 Crysis 2 graphics accolades: 1

"The high ambitions of the production elements nevertheless take their toll. Textures and objects can be distracting as they pop into view, and the frame rate doesn't always retain a slick pace. Visual glitches can also annoy. You might run into occasions on which the depth-of-field blur breaks, causing everything to appear out of focus. Moving an emplaced gun might cause objects seen through its sights to smear together. Bugs aren't limited to just the graphics, either." - Gamespot, Crysis 2 review. Yup, best GFX EVAR! :lol:
