Assuming you mean Crysis at high settings then no, not a chance.

Neither the PS3 nor 360 have the horsepower to equal what Crysis can look like on high settings - and in that I'm counting Crysis physics support vs most high end graphical games on PS3/360 severely limiting the physics to save power (gotta love how when all the dust settles in MW2 you realize barely anything has moved despite all the gunfire and explosions).

I believe that Crysis has the best graphics and consoles don't have enough power to run it.

 

But you also have to take in consideration that Good devs don't need that powerful systems to develop high graphical games.Like if a dev is develoing for PC,the dev can just increase the system requirments and the make a game more high graphical.But on consoles devs work hard and take more power out of a low spec system.And we have many hard working devs that can take out alot more power out of these curent gen consoles.

I don't want to start out war but PS3 tech is different from PC tech.Its specs work differently.So you can't say that PS3 games can't be more graphical.

Oh I understand that.  As I said in another thread, graphics for me = technical graphics, which is resolution, AA, particle effects, transparency, character models, water effects, draw distance, foliage rendering, number of objects on-screen rendering, etc.

In all these areas Crysis can achieve (on the right PC) superior results.  It obviously supports resolutions beyond consoles, it can support much higher levels of AA, it has better particle effects and transparency handling, water, etc.

Technically, even allowing for their level of specialization and good coding, neither the PS3 nor 360 have the necessary horsepower.

Remember that Crysis really was developed ahead of its time, with features that require huge amounts of memory (both CPU and GPU) to enable.

The best games on the HD consoles have impressed me with how far the tech could be pushed - say MGS4, Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, Gears of War 2, etc. - but all those games still technically trail Crysis on a high end PC.  Skill, etc. counts for a lot, but in the end so does what is available to the developer - for example, imagine what Uncharted 2 would look like if you could drop it on a high end PC, double the AA, bump the resolution up another few notches, allow for more movable objects, etc?

On the bright side, the HD consoles cost less than a really high end graphics card for a PC!

 



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