Sorry to the developers, but in the day the PS3 can pull of Crysis maximum settings like graphics, I'll take a read at this dev statements....



And I think that won't happen, I don't know why...

 

Granted the RSX and PS3 as a whole probably doesn't have enough pipelines to do Crysis BUT you are missing a very interesting point that the CPU can do really advanced AA. Last I checked the i7 didn't do AA, nor any PC CPU. It's an eye -opening read to say the least.

Any modern X86 PC CPU can do this.

 

Not a single PC CPU does AA on games - the gf100 paper shows this, and certainly no PC CPU does SSAA or is capable of doing it without causing a massive performance hit.

Sooo... being a little PC dimwitted here, but could the PS3 run Crysis on say low setting's? Just curious.



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

I said this form of AA.



Do you know what its like to live on the far side of Uranus?

They have the Crysis 2 engine running on PS3 and 360, and it looks great, better than Crysis 1 engine, so the answer is YES. This post was on the tech to use the cells to offload effects rendering from the gpu, which was what Sony had in mind when they were first designing the PS3, and how the smoothing is better than what is attainable on a PC. (according to Digital Foundry)

It's the difference between SDL and OpenGL for rendering on a PC. One can be used to develop graphics based applications quickly, but its power is limited, but OpenGL is more complicated yelider higher results.

To a point SDL will out power OpenGL because of simplicity (XBox 360), but once someone really puts OpenGL (PS3) to good use most will never look back.

*I am in no way stating that SDL and OpenGL are actually utilized in development for these systems I am using them as metaphors to describe how philiosophy has left one medium under utlitlized simply because its more difficult to use.



-- Nothing is nicer than seeing your PS3 on an HDTV through an HDMI cable for the first time.

BS. Crysis on consoles is about as good as Crysis on medium on a PC (and no where near the very high settings that a good gaming PC now can handle).

BS? What BS? The question was "could the PS3 run Crysis on say low setting's"? That's LOW SETTINGS. And the DF article sums up: "CryTek's technical showcase on console is an intriguing mix of sub-medium-level settings for some elements, all the way up to "very high" in others." Sounds like that's somewhat better than LOW settings, so where's the BS?

YOU - "They have the Crysis 2 engine running on PS3 and 360, and it looks great, better than Crysis 1 engine"


That's the BS. The Cryengine 2 on consoles has not matched Crysis 1 graphics, let alone surpassed them.

You all acting like you would know how Crysis 2 will look like on Consoles ? I dont even know how it will look like on PC the few Scans are not enough to really jugde the graphical quality,

Just to add. Consoles will run Cryengine 3 and not 2 Cryengine 2 was used for Crysis 1.

Cryengine 1 runs on very high on all consoles it is 6 years old.

We dont know shit about crysis 2.
