Tis is apperantly what Crysis 2 will look like on consoles.

Link

Crytek said the console versions are going to be like what Crysis looked like on medium settings.

If the video is any determination of what the console versions are going to look like then I am not complaining.

Feel free to post Crysis pics on MEDIUM setting if wish, just dont post pics with very high settings and say, "B-b-b-but it should look like this."

Meh, its old

All you had to do was look up the Cry Engine 3 demo and that's what Crysis 2 will look like on consoles.AAllxxjjnn

This is what Crysis looks like at 1280x720 on all Medium.

It's not TERRIBLE, but it's not exactly good either...

But will the gameplay be the same, or will it just be another linear corridor shooter?

Cry Engine 3 doesn't look as good as Cry Engine 2. Yes, it's true. That video is of Crysis 1 which is Cry Engine 2. Expect worse on the consoles with Cry Engine 3 especially considering Cry Engine 3 was built around the PC as the main platform with the option of porting it downgraded to consoles.

If your pleased with that awfull frame rate... ouch.

It was Crytek themselves that said Cryengine 3 on consoles will look like Cryengine 2 on medium settings, the video I posted is Crysis 1 on medium settings on Cryengine 2. So if Crytek is telling the truth the game will look something like what you see in the video.

I guess we'll see, won't we? Either way, they have shown no footage of Crysis 2. On top of that, we already know it'll look far superior on PC due to it being, well, the PC and the fact that the PC is the lead platform. So, really, I don't see the relevance. It's already going to be worse looking by quite a bit. You trying to measure how much worse it's going to look? I don't see much a point.

it wont be a corridor shooter it will be a jungle shooter that just happens to have trees blocking your every path down a corridor.

Yep. That was the point of Cry Engine 3, as I said. Except it was designed for consoles as a way to downscale to them. Watch interviews, PC is still the lead platform. But Cry Engine 3 allows them to scale down for the consoles. Cry Engine 3 was designed for consoles, no doubt. Without Cry Engine 3 there would be no way to downscale from the PC version of the game.

Just played Crysis on all medium settings. There is no way that game will look that good running on PS3 and Xbox 360 at medium settings. I am thinking it will look more how the game looks while playing it on all low settings running on PS3 and 360. To me even that is stretching it.

it will be a mix of medium, and low with motion blur occuring even if you are crawling on the ground moving 1mph.

console owners should get a gaming pc if they want awesome graphics

Doom 4 is coming next year and it isn't going to look very nice on consoles

Pentium 4 3.20ghz (codename prescott)
XFX 8500GT 512MB, i think it's 512MB
305W power supply
2GB RAM

The guy from your vid was using those specs.. my god that PC is from teh stone age.. P4?? Really???

lol you cant say that Crysis 2 on consoles will be looking like Crysis on mediums. You know when they are porting pc game to console they dont just put medium/low settings xD. They use totally different textures other lighting techniques optimized for console. Besides Crysis2 isnt Crysis1...who said its gonna be junlge. Maybe they will go in other direction (forests with pines etc)...you know good desingn can make up lots of technical limits. They showed location like that in GDC Cry Engine3 presentation and imo it looked awesome..way better than jungle -

(in 0:43s - 0.54s).

If it will look similar to Far cry 2 its good enough for me.

Sorry but that vodeo didnt impress me much...

Im thinking farcry 2 on consoles looks better.

(not saying that consoles are better than crysis, its just on normal settings its a little meh)

people are saying cryengine 3 wont look as good has anyone seen the PC version? for all we know it could be whatever the console video shows it could be on LOWEST which would mean cryengine could look even better n then everyone who has bought 295 + 4870xs etc would cry because their systems would just blow up.... i doubt that though but seemed kinda cool to me anyways Haha

to be honest i think it will prolly look a little better than medium, we seen how consoles are much easier to optimize compared to a computer, its just a matter of tweaking till you get graphics at the desired level within their respective hardware limitations.

It probably won't look anything like that. It will most likely be optimized up the wazoo and improvements made to the code making a more effecient use of memory...A direct comparison with the PC version is really silly.Warhead runs better than Crysis on the same hardware and that only came out a year later.

The game is gonna be great!

If the hope to get Medium settings then there is definetly going to be tons and tons of loading times...which would suck in Crysis.

I am more concerned if the games design will be retained in the process. Visuals can be scaled. Design cannot.skrat_01

Far Cry 2 /post.

Crysis 2 on Consoles won't play any different from Crysis 2 on the computer. Why do people think it is only possible to have a non-linear game like Crysis on the computer? Fallout 3 anyone? How about Borderlands? or as I mentioned above Far Cry 2.

Don't get me wrong, I'll play it just to see how it is but it will be totally different OR keep it the way it is, just add a lot of loading times.

Read this article to see why you are wrong.

I know what you're thinking: hey, GTAIV and Far Cry 2 work well on consoles, and they're open-world games, so what makes Crysis so special?

This is both true and false. Whilst GTAIV and Far Cry 2 do provide the illusion of continuous open-worlds, they manage to fit the experience on the console by chopping up the levels into smaller pieces of several hundred square meters. Basically, when your character passes a certain point, you are thrown into a new chunk, while everything else is off in the background, the hardware is only monitoring the activity going on in that chunk. This is why, in Far Cry 2, you can enter an area, fight a few soldiers, run away to a specific distance, and then come back to find that they've reset their behaviors and that all of the damage you've done to the environment has disappeared.

Although Crysis is more focused and linear than either of these two games, each of the game's levels are rendered and monitored in real-time. What this means is, if you found an appropriate spot, you could look several kilometers across a level to find the same patrolling AI that you would encounter if you went to that area. If you shot a rocket across this distance, they would actively notice you and the game would never forget the effect that you have on the environment while you have that level loaded. Consoles simply can't remember this due to their limits on RAM.
