Forums - Gaming Discussion - New Crysis 2 Scans: Best Looking Console Game Ever?

Here's my prediction.
PC Version: Best Graphics
XBOX 360: Great Graphics
PS3: Shit Graphics

I am a huge ps3 fan but judging but almost every port the ps3 games come out looking like shit or faded colors with horrible frame rate and screen tearing. I realized sticking to ps3 exclusives are the best way to go.

ok I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks the black guy at the top looks like 50 cent.

also this game more than any other will be the first true test of 360 graphic capabilities, I'm waiting to see if the 360 version will look better than the ps3 version, seeing cryteck put different team for each platform as to optimize the game for each platform's power, if the 360 comes out on top then a lot of questions and beliefs will be answered. This game will prove if the 360 can infact handle games like uncharted 2 and killzone 2 which I believe it can.

also bad scans are BAD


Exactly, I cant wait for this game to prove 360 has the horse power to run those games

Looks Great thou, but Im pretty much tired of FPS games so Im not too interested in this

What are you talking about? They will not port for PS3, they will program using PS3 specific hardware.

oh but this one won't be a crappy port, they got 3 different development teams for each different version of the game

Regardless, it's still going to look worse than the other versions. I'm sure they wont spend all their time with a system that wont make them as much money as the 360 or PC would.

I want to see how "scalable" that engine really is. Port it to the DS!



Personally I have good faith in Crytek, I think they will do a better job than most other multi-platform developers. They have ambitious talented coders.

Scans (good or bad) or screenshots only tell part of the story though, so IMO we need to really see this game in action. For example I think the character death sequences / most animations pretty much sucked in comparison to Killzone 2 with the original Crysis. Killzone 2 may also have an advantage with regard to atmospheric lighting and motion blur, we can't tell from looking at just screenshots or even tech demos.

Then you have art direction and directive talents, etc which may influence the final outcome of the gaming visuals (camera angles, lip sync, facial expressions, etc).

I don't think they will be able to truly make optimal usage of the PS3 though, as the game is not really designed around this platform. For example for taking optimal usage of Blu-Ray (like Uncharted 2's seamless streaming and high quality assets will probably still push further in this regard). Or the PS3 is technically far more capable to have more onscreen action and more complex environments than a XBox 360, but usually you can't really have two totally different versions in this regard (so the game design will likely be designed around the 360's abilities), etc.

PS3 vs 360 sales

Horrible quality scans, and it was NOT proven that these are from the PS3 version. The editor said he saw the PS3 version and he posted these scans in Playstation Magazine, but EA is notorious for substituting PC screens for console games. Most recently they never released a single console version screen for Dragon Age to the press, including things like Playstation Magazine. They all used PC version screens.


According to this its from ps3 version.

That link backups exactly what naz said, do you struggle to read or something?  It never states those screenshots are the PS3 version, just the guy had seen the PS3 version running.


Well they said that its taken from ps3 build so i thought that was it.

Sorry, I apologise I'm even snappier than normal this week due to stopping smoking last weekend.  If you read the article carefully you'll see that the editor got to see Crysis 2 running on the PS3 and then got permission to show it off to the world first.  The key part here is there is no mention of which build they took these shots off as they were not taken by him when he was shown the PS3 build.  I'm not saying that these aren't the PS3 version, just it's not accurate to say they are for definate at this time.  It would make more sense to release PR bullshots using the best looking platform, which will be the PC for obvious horsepower reasons, hence why we aren't sure these really are the PS3 build at this time.

Is that a better explanation of what me and Naz read from the statement?

Congrats on the giving up smoking. It means more money for buying games

Cry engine 3 gonna deliver some good games over the next few years, if devs are smart enough to use it.

Those scans are horrible and even if they were good its impossible to tell what platform those scans are even depicting. But regardless im sure it will look great but im more worried about the gameplay. the first crysis wasnt the most fun game to play lets just hope this game doesnt suck as bad



Long Live SHIO!
