So hermits, which is graphics king now: Crysis or Battlefield 3?

Why are mods apart of graphics debates?

mods are the product of the time of a either a collective or indivdual that put resouces together to make their experience and others more enjoyable.

modders to not have to worry about deadlines, stockbrokers, asshat management, funds (sometimes) and pink slips.

modders have an unprecedented amount of time to complete usually just {EMPHASIS ON USUALLY} (ini files, texture files and sound files)

devs have to complete and entire game...

I'm gonna have to side with BF3 for the time being. Crysis just doesn't look as amazing these days...

Neither because Uncharted 3 is the new graphics king now, and it always will be until Uncharted 4 comes out. :P

But seriously, I know that PC has more powerful games like Crysis and BF and it can max out the settings ect...but I think Uncharted 3 takes the cake because it has better art direction and charecter animation.

Uncharted 3 all the way!

Uncharted 3 can't even take on a simple multiplat like Bulletstorm (PC), how can it even go against the heavyweights?

However, I pitch this out there as a contender.

Mystic-G

Pfft, F1 2011 looks better IMO.

Probably because it shows what taking advantage of the hardware of a gaming rig. means, we see somewhat of a result instead of making assumptions. I believe it's a valid comparison.

and modders don't care about specs. devs have to, if they want to reach a broad audience.

I think that's always been a problem I had with PC games.

They look stunning, amazing and beautiful, but they have no sense of art or st.yle. Crysis, Metro and BF3 might be the prettiest games in the world right now, but you never get any games with an Okami aesthetic, or Silent Hill's rust and fog stylings.

Console games have certianly come a long way but UC3 being superior to the likes of Crysis and BF3? Please. Those games walk all over UC3.

Not to mention console games use trickery and skyboxes.

Crysis / BF are open world. NO linear corridor game should be allowed in the comparison.

If we're talking about consoles, it would be crysis 2, but on PC, it would be BF3

Terraria has better destruction than both.ActionRemix

Crysis

BF3 I would say is best looking right now, its just downright beautiful on PC.

Next I would have to put GTA IV, The Witcher2, Stalker, Crysis1, Crysis2, Metro and Total War Shogun2.

I think you should call this thread "do you prefer lush jungle environments or detailed cities?".

Crysis 2 DX11 + Blackfire mod looks better

GTA4 modded looks better

Crysis with mods looks better

Doom 3 with mods looks better

Witcher 2 looks nearly as good

Metro 2033 DX11 looks better

Shogun 2 DX11 is technically a whole gen ahead

BF3 is overrated graphics wise and it was confirmed a console port, so hermits dont need to pretend it looks better because its "a PC game" when it isnt

So what's a "PC game" then? By your definition not even The Witcher 2 is a "real" PC game since it has "simplified" combat or something along those lines.

Anyone else find the jaggies in Battlefield 3 terrible? Still an awesome looking game though.

Well I didn't notice any in the single player (or very little) but I think they're pretty prevalent in the multiplayer. Just wish we'd get higher AA options.

Also, please don't prove me wrong with more pictures. :cry:

GeorgeCScott

BF3 is an extremely linear corridor shooter. And uses skyboxes.

I always find these claims of "trickery" odd. Just about every single graphical feature in games is a cheap trick to approximate the real thing or offline rendering methods. Parrallax mapping? Just a trick to make a flat surface appear to have depth. SSAO? A cheap low quality approximation of ambient occlusion. Fancy smoke effects? Just a bunch of translucent planes floating around to make it look like actual smoke particles.

[QUOTE="HaloinventedFPS"]

[QUOTE="walkingdream"]

BF3 on Ultra + Destrubile Enviroments (yes i know everything is not destrutible.)

mitu123

Crysis has way better destruction

And I meant buildings, not those easily destructable shacks that renders less.

No, you can't do that in Crysis, but the physics in Crysis is leagues ahead of BF3. BF3 may have more destruction, but the way the debris flies around in BF3 is laughable compared to Crysis. Also, you can't chop down trees with a MG in BF3.

Also, the water in BF3 is hideous. At least in MP, don't know about SP.

Definitely disagree there. I run Crysis 2 maxed on my PC with the blackfire mod installed and it does not look as good as BF3 running on a mix of High and Ultra settings. Crysis 1 with mods looks better than vanilla BF3 but Crysis 2? I don't think so.

I was wondering,why isn't modded Doom 3 one of the contenders?

Doom 3 with Sikkmod and rygel's texture pack looks amazing.

you either installed your mods wrong or you need buy a new set of glasses. crysis2 DX11 with or without mods is simply the best graphic on PC to the date. go see this thread page 17, now show me anything form any game can touch this lvl of texture and detail (screen credit to pcps360)
