Sigh, I see we have the resident PC fanboy. I am a PC gamer, have been since 1983. Pc is technically way more poweerful, yes.
Problem. How many devs are utilizing the PC's power? Crytek were the last, and that was 2007, is that a thing to brag about? One game in 2007? Crysis technically is the most impressive looking game technically, buy, graphics are a lot more then that.
No game out is as impressive to look at as GOW 3. Crysis does not have the epic scale, battle, art direction, presentation, animation, epic score, and gameplay all tied in one awesome package. Sorry, Crysis is great, but overall, no game has as many jaw dropping moments as GOW 3. No amount of technical graphics features changes the fact that no one is making games liek GOw or Uncharted that have top notch presentation, art direction, level design on PC. Crysis's art direction was very poor, none of the levels were interesting or really made you ake notice, very generic. Outside maybe inside the alien ship, which was impressive.
Pc is by far the most powerful platform, problem is its being abandoned, barely anyone is using it to make games look better. Its sad when my Core i7 PC, is out done in pure jaw dropping moments where family members even comment on it by my Ps3. We mainly get ports with only higher resolution options, when we should be getting epic scale like GOw 3. Graphcis are a lot more the shiony textures, and technical etails, it is how all the parts are used and go together.
On topic, crysis 2 does not look any better then current AAA console games. We all know the PC version will be the best, crytek at least seem to still utilize PC the way it should be. Crysis 2 PC will be great looking, but a multi-plat title wont look any better then current AAA console games, which all look good. Way too much focus on graphics as usual.
This is Cryteks frist ever time developing for consoles, and they are not the GODS some make them out to be, THey said Crysis would utilize 64 bit, and run much better on quad core, neither really ended up being true as 64 bit was a mess, and faster dual cores ran crysis better. it was also buggy, and ran like arse if your LCD had a native res higher then 1280 X 1024, barely anyone could run it with AA on making it a jaggy mess.
Crysis 2 doesnt look any better then a year old PS3 shooter, and I doubt will top GOW 3 impressive scale. Looks like a more linear crysis 1 with worse graphics. i dount crytek can make use of the cell like Sony can, crytek are new to consoles, sony knows cell better then anyone.
Lets not get into the fact the first game while good, certainly was not great at all. it was more Linear then advertised as well.
I miss the days devs made games for PC and utilized them as the powerhouses they are, instead it is becoming a place for mainly ports with very few exclusives utilizing its power. At least I still get better FPS then on consoles, lol.
