Well, some interesting points but overall I'd say it's too simplistic to really take much from and, at least in my admitedly pedantic view, he commits the cardinal sin of mixing a graphical discussion - which should be factual and based on resolution, AA, etc. - with art direction, which is of course completely subjective.
Take the AA. I have no idea if Crytek did or didn't produce something better than MLAA, but I do know that can be conclusively tested with appropriate analysis. Eyeballing it from a screen is to be honest a bit of a waste of time.
At this point, all I know is Crysis 2 looks very good in some videos although there seems to be a more noticable difference in SP vs MP graphics than I was expecting - but that might be most MP shots I've seen are from the Beta which I believe was an older build.
I'm not expecting it to be 'the best' graphically although I'll be very impressed if it is. Unless Crytek have seriously spent a fortune on the tech - or really are amazingly gifted - I'd always expect a really well coded exclusive engine to slightly pip and extremely well coded multi-platform engine. It's easier to do, and given equally talented developers the exclusive team should always be able to come out on top.
Either way, looks like there's another pretty shooter coming down the tracks. Let's hope the gameplay matches the looks.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
