CryEngine 2 is an unoptimised joke, I was talking about them using CryEngine 3. And I think Crysis on High is similar to Crysis 2 on consoles, just look at the tech demos. Not only that, but I think that foliage looks a lot better than a building. And yes, it is a matter of being a fanboy. I get so agitated by people whining on about how PC's have the best graphics and how you can make a PC which looks better than a console for only a fraction of the price, the latter point being a load of bullshit. And then they whine on about keyboard and mouse being the best thing since sliced bread, they are just so ignorant and annoying. HD 5770 and Core 2 Duo is my PC right now, and I normally have an FPS higher than 30fps when I play on "Very High" settings. The point you just made makes PC's look even more expensive, your laptop must have cost you about £700. |
I disagree when you say that Crysis foliage look a lot better than a building. Crysis foliage isn't that impressive, outside the physics behind it, as there has been better foliage (Risen for example). Heck, even the low grass physics were exactly like the physics in the grass of Oblivion with pretty much similar textures.
I've seen Crysis 2 on consoles, and I don't see it coming close to Crysis on high, there's just too many differences, especially on the post-processing effects field and mainly on textures. Crysis 2 on consoles has some pretty ugly textures and a massive amount of texture pop up as well. Maybe lightning is close to Crysis high, but in most of the fields I would say that it comes close to Crysis medium.
I agree with the majority of your second paragraph, but you also have the same modus operandi with console supporters claiming that consoles are the much better alternative. Both camps can be annoying and obnoxious, because both PC's and consoles have their own strengths and weaknesses.
I wasn't trying to make any point, because I distinctly said that I had a laptop to run Crysis. A laptop with similar specs that you posted would only be able to run Crysis on medium with playable FPS. I had a laptop with the fastest Core 2 Duo for laptops and an overclocked GT 9650M 1 GB which performed the same as a GTX 9800M and only got 10 fps on High.
