Crysis 2 PS3 'performs better than 360 version'

Wednesday 14-Apr-2010 12:45 PM Crytek admits it's getting more from Sony's machine

Crytek has admitted that it's getting "slightly more performance" out of the PS3 version of Crysis 2 than the Xbox 360 edition.

However, the studio's business development boss Carl Jones said he was confident the game would become the best-looking title "on every platform".

The studio has previously revealed that it overcame problems squeezing the game's massive CryEngine 3 onto console.

However, it went on to claim that the game's graphics were the best you'd ever see on console - something CVG's own experience of the Xbox 360 version backed up.

Our man Ryan saw just a snippet of gameplay running on PS3, and said it looked exactly the same as the 360 version. But now it appears that over the course of the title, Sony's system might have the edge.

Jones added that Crytek had no difficulty developing for the PS3 in comparison to the 360.

"We haven't found it more difficult to develop for PS3," he told CVG sister magazine PSM3.

"We're lucky in the fact that we've come to the generation slightly later than other people - the ones who were trying to build the first technology and games were surprised at how different the PS3 was. We took our time and worked out the right way to approach it.

"At the moment, we're getting slightly more performance from PS3 compared to 360. I'm very confident that products using CryEngine 3 are going to come out as the best looking, or at least in the top three, on every platform."

Frankly from what i've seen the console version doesn't look to beat some other ps3 games. (don't have a xbox so can't comment on that)... it is in early stages though. We have yet to see the final version of the game...

Although i'll be playing it on pc myself.



Check out my game about moles ^

Every Crysis thread reminds me of how bad I need to upgrade my PC. =/

"We're lucky in the fact that we've come to the generation slightly later than other people - the ones who were trying to build the first technology and games were surprised at how different the PS3 was. We took our time and worked out the right way to approach it.

Sounds like they're going about things the right way.

Which is like the 3rd or 4th thread about this news

"We are fairly confident it may be the best looking game on the platforms, or atleast in the top 3"

The top 3 are

KILLZONE 2

GOD OF WAR III

UNCHARTED 2

so looks like the game as it stands doesn't look as good as either of those, but they expect it to look around as good as they do. Which I honestly doubt

It says "At the moment, we're getting slightly more performance from PS3 compared to 360"; Notice "At the moment". We don't know how it's going to end up, as we learned many times before. The PC version will be the best still though.

I seriously dont care what these guys say any more... its all hot air and hype.

Shut up and deliver the game.. we will judge it ourselves thanks and I'm betting it isnt the best looking looking thing on either console or the best fun on either console.

Oh yea for sure, after releasing that horrible lookin console screenshot, I continue to doubt the game will look as good as they say it does

I won't talk about fun, because I haven't played the game (plus, that's a subjective category), but what makes you think this won't be the best looking game? From the trailers and demos I have seen so far, it's already the best looking game on 360 (I have played most games that are considered powerhouses on the system), and even at the early stages it looked at least as good as Uncharted 2 in many categories.

It was a screen from neogaf, I can't seem to find it, but it wasn't impressive
