I love how every time the question of graphics come into play, PC gamers talk about Crysis.
OK, Crysis has the best graphics out of any game currently out. Agreed. And if you have a super machine, you can play that beast to look much better than any console game.
But can we use 1 game as the reason we say PC graphics are REALLY starting to outpace consoles? NO. How about this for a change: PC fans, give me 5-10 games that look like Crysis. Never mind, you can't do that (obviously if it is the best). Give me 5-10 games that look on par or better than:
1. Killzone 2.
2. MGS4.
3. Gears of War 2.
4. Uncharted 2.
5. Lost Odyssey.
6. Gran Turismo 5.
7. Forza 3.
8. Fight Night Round 4.
All this is assuming you have a PC that can handle games that look that good. There is no doubt that PC is more powerful than consoles, but there is a reason console gaming has become so popular. Buying a console means that you will be playing games that are optimized for the hardware that you are using. Every single PS3 owner will see Killzone 2 in all its glory. 90% of the people who have played Crysis have played it on a setting which looks like a joke compared to Killzone 2.
Again, show me 5 games, I will agree that PC is REALLY starting to outpace consoles. But as it stands, consoles currently have the best looking games available, with a couple of exceptions. |
ARMA 2, Dawn Of War II, and Empire: Total War are better looking than those titles you mentioned, if you max out the graphics. Also, since you listed two games that aren't even out yet, I will list two DX 11 games that will probably surpass any game on your list; Dirt 2 and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call Of Pripyat.

Don't forget DemiGod, Sins of a Solar Empire, Eve Online, and Final Fantasy 11.

I really must admit that Sins of a Solar Empire and Empire: Total War are both so far beyond what has been produced on consoles, the only reason these games are not used in comparison is because consoles have nothing to compare against. That is why Crysis is alwasy mentioned in these discussions, since Crysis is your standard FPS, there are many commonalities in genre/presentation/gameplay/etc. with all the top console games.
If you have ever played Empire: TW (even way below maxed out settings), it is clear there is no way a console could even come close to competing with the visual quality presented in this game.
EDIT: I would recommend viewing the full size images.
