IGN reviewer still claiming that Crysis 2 looks and runs better on 360 so i guess we will have to wait for Digitalfoundry to clear things up

TheMindChannel

In case you're wondering, Crysis 2 online reviews are still under an embargo that should lift anytime soon. Despite being under a NDA (non-disclosure-agreement), a reviewer from IGN (Arthur Gies ) also known as aegies has answered some questions to the NeoGaf community regarding which console version looks the best. The reviewer states that he has both versions of the game sitting on his desk as he speaks.

Question#1 by Gvaz:
No, it clearly has better lighting (Sun Rays/God Rays, shadowing, lighting) and AF. Even if all things are the same, those are implemented features. However the tradeoff is that it's at the "stage 1" HD resolution of 720 and the 360 doesn't have those features and is at 1080. I don't know what the frame rate is like.

Either way, if you're wanting to know which one is the better one technologically wise, that'd be the PS3. If you're wanting one that displays natively at 1080, then that'd be the 360. It's up to you which of these is more important.

REVIEWER: You. Are. Wrong. No matter how many times you keep saying it. The 360 version runs better and has more going on. The texture filtering is the only thing that might be better on PS3. And I say that with retail copies of both sitting on my desk.


Question#2 by Shurs:
I realize he's under NDA, but if he feels he can pop into this thread to tell us 360 version is the best console version, he could at least tell us why.

REVIEWER: From the levels I'm allowed to talk about from last week's preview embargo, the Xbox 360 version maintains its framerate better, has better lighting on characters in particular, and appears to support SSAO in places that it isn't apparent in the PS3 version. This is in addition to the ps3 version being more "stretched." This causes more aliasing, but it also just looks kind of weird at times. It's still a great looking game though.

There's a review embargo? But some reviews have already been released, very weird.

The game is also released so I wonder when the embargo actually ends.

Also if you read the comments below,it was brought up that the slides might be mixed up. So you might be looking at the wrong display of the game. Being ps3 maybe xbox360 pic and vis versa. So I'm not going with anything on this site. I would have to say i trust IGN more. Not only that but some of the comments above seem to add to the fire.

So I will wait for digital foundry to clear this up as well.

Well it's so close now as makes no difference. I thought some screen went in favour of 360 (esp where shadows were important to give surfaces depth. But in other screens PS3 looked better. Hopefully the action is fast paced enough that you don't have a lot of time to notice some of these things.

The main thing I think is that Crytek's integrity is restored and now Unreal Engine has some genuine competition, at least insofar as delivering quality product to both consoles. Which is good for gaming. Though I can't help but think Crytek are a little late to the generation to get 3rd parties to adopt their engine for block buster games. Let's hope they can get in early next generation.

I don't get why PS3 is 720p only and 360 can go all the way to 1080p. Isn't PS3 meant to be capable of 1080p? Why can't Crytek deliver? Actually why can't most developers deliver, including some 1st parties?

Look at the image of the soldier close up and check out the patch on his right arm. It's very clear that the PS3 version has a sharper resolution in some cases. Why do we even bother bickering about this anymore.. did the differences in Black Ops stop the game from being the best selling PS3 ever?

Well, both look close enough now that most aren't going to care apart from a view pixel counters - assuming that those shots are accurate.

360 might have slightly higher resolution but in motion the majority of gamers aren't going to notice a lick of difference.

TBH I'm fairly impressed for a first PS3 title for Crytek.  I know they overly talked themselves up, but shifting from PC to PS3 is a big jump and pushing an engine across two different systems is far from easy.

Compared to many others it looks like Crytek have done a good job overall.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

That patch could have been in the middle of rendering the texture. We don't know the circumstances. Best way to judge is by actual videos side by side. Unless you plan on pausing 30 times per second to compare each frame.

ohhh so now IGN is more credible all of a sudden?

when LOT showed blurry inferior ps3 screens using the demo I didn't see anyone complain now IGN is more trusted?
