Forums - Gaming Discussion - Will next gen consoles look better than Crysis?

Barozi on 15 February 2010

Yes they will.

What was the best looking game last gen ? Far Cry ? Half-Life 2 ? Doom 3 ?
They were easily surpassed only a few years later on consoles.

I think the three will achieve better graphics, even if it's just slightly better.

Why? Because the PC hardware needed to achieve that kind of visuals is (relatively) cheap by now. And it's even more feasible when you consider that all three consoles will be released in two years from now.

You think a $500 GPU is cheap? Because that's what's needed to run this quality with playable framerates.

Let's say we're aiming for 1920x1080 with 4xAA (I think 2xAA is enough at that res, but that's just me... I'm blind) and 30 frames (playable as long as it's stable). A $289 Radeon HD5850 can make it. I know the ideal is 60 fps, but most console gamers are ok with 30... and many say that they don't notice framerate drops or that they can't tell the difference between 30 and 60...

Also, I said relatively.

I agree it's relatively cheap, I was just playing with you a lil.

And I agree about 2xAA and 30fps being perfectly enough to run a game smoothly and look good enough.

But... a HD 5850 is not enough to run what I meant, namely a modded Crisis that makes it look as beautiful as the screens in the OP.

And well yes, I agree that a modded Crysis would need more power... specially one that uses ultra high resolution textures (like those over 8000x8000 textures in Fallout 3). But if I remember correctly there were mods that gave a bump to visuals AND gave a bump to performance in the first Crysis (correct my if I'm wrong, it's been a long time)

Also, I remember that Warhead achieved better graphics with less power needed compared to stock Crysis. And that benchmark is Gamer/Enthusiast. Everything on Enthusiast makes it go at around 22 fps.

thats crysis click HD 720

yea and as other said, those are ULTRA HIGH pics, aka modded. The video on top is crysis at its highest graphics setting.

But wait. The highest graphics level in Warhead is called Enthusiast, but that test of 5850 you linked to benchmarked the original Crysis, and there you had "high" and "very high" instead.

Anyway, your point was that a Radeon 5850 can run a Crysis game on highest settings at 22 fps in 1080p res, is that correct?

Yep, I messed a bit there. Crysis used "high and very high" while Warhead user "gamer and enthusiast". Though in some of the settings the visual difference wasn't noticeable between both... while the performance difference was.

And yes... though I still think that 4xAA at that resolution is overkill. I used to play it at 1680x1050 with 2xAA and I thought it looked blurry.

I think Crysis never looks as good in motion as it does on screenshots. I don't know why really. But watching this clip I just thought of something that might explain why I'm always a lil put off by the graphics when I play Crysis - the damn motion blur! I hate motion blur in games. I'm gonna try put it off and see if the game looks better.

Crysis 2 > Crysis

PS3 + Xbox 360 > Crysis


My take on things.

PC Crysis 2 >> Crysis

PS3 + X360 Crysis 2 <<<< Crysis

 

 

Crytek Take on Crysis

 

EDIT: I mean this graphics wise.



leo-j on 15 February 2010

@Bambo

They never said that
