This BS about only IGN. Ask even CGI. There is more reviewers claiming graphics king. Do we need DF or LOT to tell us how games look with our own eyes? Do DF take into consideration what an engine is doing totally in realtime? I can list at leat 5 things in realtime that no other game is doing on consoles apart from Crysis 2. or how much bigger the scale of player interactive area is. In fact that last part isnt even close on any shooter on consoles. The play space thats rendered in realtime on Crysis 2 is a complete nother level compared to other console shooters. 3rd or First person. It's almost embarrassing comparing any game to it for that reason. AI also doesnt just operate in 2d dimensions because of the play space to. They have to climb 3 or 4 stories up to flank, or traverse the huge distance of the play areas to gain tactical advantage. There is just so much more going on under the hood. It's so obvious on a technical note it hurts. Take the closest 360 top game for example. Gears 2? Gears 2 is miles behind on a technical not least due to the play spaces not even being close to Crysis 2 size. Reach? Reach has without a doubt the next biggest play areas on conosles. But they arent Crysis 2 big. Crysis 2 is both big play areas not just length and width but hieght. Some of them are rediculously big. Framerate issues? Yes it has some. But nowhere near unplayable. In fact Ive barely noticed it and I;ve just got to the central station. If it ever has dropped to the so called 15 - 20 FPS that DF has said. It's been for a split second like 1/100th because I know from my PC days what 15 fps looks like. And Crysis 2 has never chugged like that. ( 360 version ). Well done Crytek. Youve blown our eyeballs. |
I own all consoles and even a pc. Now what I will say is I have to agree with what selnor is saying. Crysis 2 is much bigger in size than these closed in corridor games (see gears of war and Killzone). Now Crysis 2 is not perfect, it does have framerate issues and some glitches. Those things still don't take away how impressive it does look. Look at the water destroys anything other game on console with water in it. Compare the water to killzone 3 go ahead, night and day difference. Lighting its bright and you can actually see stuff plus its real time lighting. All cut scenes are in engine. You would have to be blind to not notice how good Crysis looks. Killzone 3 looks good but as I've said before (I do own the game) but it’s just not much of a step up from Killzone 2. As far as textures go both killzone and Crysis have a lot of low res textures but in my opinion killzone has more. Crysis is the king, I know ps3 fan boys and xbox fan boys are fighting hard but the real deal is Crysis 2 is the best looking console game right now. You really would have to be a fanboy to say this doesn't look better than killzone 3.
