Again as I said they've only shown tech demos. What you posted is a tech demo. When games are developed set pieces and locations are designed to showcase the technical abilities of engines. That video is only representative of what to expect technically from the game. Since it's a tech demo they use a lot of placeholder assets. Asset creation is done for the game which is still in development and has quite a bit of time left in development, thus assets are still not finalized.

If you recall people were downing GoW3's graphics too based on the the E3 demo and released screenshots. Near launch when they started showing more recent builds with more complete assets it was clear that GoW3 was quite a looker. Comparing a tech demo utilizing unfinished assets that aren't combining the many capabilities of the engines to create visual set pieces to completely finished games isn't a proper comparison.

I'm aware that my initial post said "graphics/physics front". Excuse my improper wording. By graphics I meant things like lighting, effects, and ease of adjusting the aesthetic of the game through filters.

And you gotta chill out man. Graphics are at the point where it doesn't even matter what visual effects are being used but is more about what the viewer prefers aesthetically. Crysis 1 is still the most technically impressive game out due to all the features the engine can push on a well equipped PC. I don't think anyone can deny that. Is it the best looking game? That depends on the person.

Um you don't have to be a PC elitist to experience Crysis, especially today with relatively beefy hardware configurations. Why is Crysis revered, because it mandated the term "console graphics king"...because nothing beats Crysis....except more Crysis. It's unsurprising Crytek are so confident their work won't be surpassed graphically, the highest end PC config doubles in power yearly. 3 years later. Guess what game is still the best looking.

Yo.

CVG... low known? Ok so if these impressions were from PC Magazine you would have a different tune?

Any truly, nothing beats the first Crysis visually, so how can all those games top Crysis 2 when they cant beat the original?

the funny part is that this logo, straight from the game, is at a higher resolution then what the PS3 or 360 can output except from a cutscene or video.

Oh they already have, much revered PC mag, PC gamer were the first to see Crysis 2 in action on Xbox 360 and they felt that the game looked better than Uncharted 2 (despite more AI, physics, sandbox etc) and would be the best looking game on every platform the game showed up on.

if this game truly has best visuals how much disk space will it need?

Size doesn't necessarily equal quality, also you know full well nobody can answer that question yet.

360 Version Better then 1st Crysis? lol After seeing those Screen Shots..I doubt it, would love it If it was true.

It'll be a short FPS with no cutscenes so it'll fit.

Crysis on PC was only 6 gigs and it still has best graphics.
