Far Cry 3 looks better artistically on PC, not sure about technically.
On consoles, it's for sure going to be Crysis because FC3 looks atrocious on PS3. The pop in is insane, maybe if that gets fixed by release it'll look good, but it's still not on the same level as Crysis 2 let alone 3.

I really feel Crysis 2 wasn't very special on consoles, particularly the PS3. Talk about horrifc pop-in, that was Crysis 2's forte on PS3, as well as blurry / flat environmental textures and some poor particle effects.

I'm with you on that it's visuals on consoles are over-rated, but I think it still looks very good, the foilage and lighting just looked gorgeous. I don't remember much pop-in, I do remember the blurry look to it though. Was that some sort of AA thing or was the resolution just a little low?

That FC3 footage on PS3 at E3 just looked really bad by todays AAA shooter standards, so it won't be hard at all for Crysis 3 to look better than that.

I expect Crysis 3 to 1-up Far Cry 3 in effects (won't comment on the consoles since I'm buying both on PC, so I mean it strictly) but I think artistically, aesthetically, and detail-for-detail, Far Cry 3 will top it. 

Agree, which is a little weird because Crytek created FC, and now it's in the hands of another developer and they seem to be beating them at their own game.
