The PC is just like a Volcano, Mighty and powerful sitting way above anything else....

And like a Volcano it wakes up every now and again with a massive boom just to remind the little people ( consoles ) way below it that it's still in charge and is still a force to be reckoned with ;)

Dev shots FTW :|

And? It still looks the PC version of Crysis on low to medium settings... :|

One of the things you'll soon get used to is not seeing any jaggies!!! I run all my games with 12xAA with ATI's edge detect and the edges are soooo smooth :)

It's console footage, 1:53 there's an 'X' button which looks to me more like 360's 'X' button then PS3's....

To me the footage is mixed as the first parts have some form of texture filtering enabled and later scenes don't...

It looks good but it's still not Crysis...

I suggest you go and replay Crysis if you think that... And turn the texture settings off 'low' :|

This is redone to make it what it is really about. All of the PC owners who say that "Crysis" looks better than other games, enjoy your one crappy game while we enjoy all of the exclusives and great games that come out for the PS3. Because that is usually the only argument that you guys make on this thread. Cmon, say what you want, but I dont hear you all bring up stalker or any of that other stuff anyway. Im not in to all of that "fanboy" stuff either , but I noticed that you guys always bring up thatone game as if it is the end all of be all for videogames. lol

And to the person who said that I am about to get "heated", not really, I have UC2, KZ2, Deomon Souls, and a whole list of other games, so I welcome the hate.

At the end of the day, you are all hypocrites since we all post on the system wars thread. And that might hurt, but thats the truth.

That one crappy game scored higher then the mighty KZ2 and equaled UC2.... :|

i'm sorry...... i'm a vfx artist, and get payed 160k a year for it, i'm pretty sure i'm going to be knowledgeable on this topic... there is one primary difference between good cg and great CG. good CG strives to look cool, making you thing "wow, that's some good CG" which is what crysis does. great CG doesn't go for real, it looks good, it looks like it took effort, but it doesn't look real, and it just makes you go wow. and what is your point with the baked textures? trust me, they are not baked. the sub surface scattering texture used for human skin in the game was released by the devs for anybody to use, it contains over 200 nodes and 64 different angle color variations, it's more advanced than the shader used for the na'vi skin in avatar. The engine itself is actually incredibly hard on the hardware, as it uses HDRI on all the shots. in other words, it's rendering 2 versions of the game, one with high exposure one with low, then combining them to produce a picture with dark darks and bright brights, but you can still see everything. basically, the engine is great CG. now lets take a look at crysis. crysis has all the same environments, it's all jungle with cliffs in it. crysis lighting uses low density realtime raytracing, which although realistic, looks like crap. it gives highlights but not reflections. the reflections are then rendered from the angle of reflection, reversed, and painted onto the reflective surface, which is not only horribly ineffective, it looks like cg since it screws with the angles. Not to mention the macro generated rock stuctures look horrible..... especially since it's all planar mapping. finally, the art direction sucks and the "physics" is nvidia physx 2.0 (physx that will run on either card, but runs on the software level and on the cpu, released to developers and CG artists as a plug-in) which, sucks. it can't have concave shapes, and the developers should recieve no credit for it's use.... it even generates collision meshes for them.12345678ew

I don't care what your job is, I see things with my own eyes and it's Crysis >>>>> Uncharted by a long way

No matter how much you say CryEngine isn't as good at 'CG' :roll:

And go into the PC section and say PhysX 2 and you'll get laughed out of the board, there's NO SUCH THING

On top of that Crysis DOESN'T EVEN USE PHYSX

Smooth edges? Am I the only one who see's the jaggies and no AF texture filtering?

The game has rubbish IQ...

PC gamer used to 16xAF and at least 12xAA with ATI's Edge detect..

Why are people still argueing over this?

Crysis is the best looking game around, END OF
