Reason why Crysis 2 looks so good on consoles

Its because the Cryengine 3 behind it is truly a masterful piece of work.

The game runs maxed out with very minimal hardware requirements. On the PC it pretty much doubled the frame rate over Crysis 1 on same hardware while looking the same (or better). 

I can max out the game and it runs at over 40 frames per second at all times with a single GTX470. IT runs butter smooth on 3 monitors and with 2 overclocked GTX470s in SLI at 5760x1080 resolution. For comparison sake, I cant even max out Need for Speed Shift 1 on 3 monitors at that resolution and have to disable AA or lower resolution or detail level to make it playable.

So even if this is the best looking console game, it really isnt because they are finding some newly found processing power in the 360 or because they are optimizing PS3s untapped potential or some other BS. It is because the guys at Crytek made a killer engine that produces amazing results with minimal hardware requirements on all platforms.

All the arguing over this should stop as its meaningless and doesnt prove one console is more powerful than the other. They could probably port this game to the Wii and it wouldnt look half bad...

Guess that's why Crytek said they could port their Cryengine 3 to the 3DS but Epic said Unreal Engine 3 wouldn't work
