Forums - Gaming - Crysis 2 Face-Off PS3 vs 360 [Digital Foundry]

Hyruken on 24 March 2011

That is some serious selective posting there OP ;)

 

As others have pointed out it clearly states the 360 version is the overall better version on consoles.

 

You selected all the nice PS3 comments and missed out all the negative ones.

 

At the end of the day both games are equally good and i think IGN are wrong to drop the PS3 version by 1 point on graphics. They both appear to suffer the same problems. They both look the same and you don't notice the differences unless your looking for them.

As always it seems people just want to fight over what each word in the report might mean. Just enjoy the game!

The crucial thing is that both are phenomenally attractive games, producing effects quite different and in many ways more advanced than anything we've seen elsewhere on console. We all wanted Crysis on console to be an event, a showcase release: by and large, Crytek has delivered, and those cutting edge visuals are backed by a truly impressive game design.

 

Now can we all be happy together, hold hands and sings songs..


And some people were doubting the LensOfTruth comparision, waiting for the Digital Foundry comparision, hoping it would give the Xbox 360 version the clear winner.  Thanks, man.  It's all good.

Aw, hell.  Here is the link:

Yep, I guess some people are a bit disappointed.

Richard agrees that Killzone 3 and Motorstorm Apocalypse are the best 3D games out there, even better than Crysis 2.

If you are PS3 fan the above might be the truth if your X360 fan it's an outright lie.

Why did this game not score a graphics score of 10 like U2? Just wondering.

There's little doubt that the Xbox 360 is the cleaner, crisper experience and for the most part it commands a small but significant frame-rate advantage and fewer little glitches; especially outside of combat scenarios, the game just seems to run that much more smoothly.

However, there are parts of the game that seem to be brutally unoptimised, bringing the performance level crashing down to the point where the afflicted sections become almost unplayable - a variable 15-20FPS update in an intense fire-fight is hugely disorientating, and this makes Crysis 2 one of the most inconsistent performers released in recent times.In these situations, it seems that it is the Xbox 360 version that has the most difficulties, though there's no mistaking that both platforms seem to lag badly in much the same areas. Interestingly, the really poor-performing sections do seem isolated to specific areas in the campaign, and from the hive infiltration level onwards things seemed to improve, but it's quite difficult to believe that those areas of the game got through QA without someone, somewhere raising the red flag.

 


^thats pretty poor performance for a game a small handful claim best grafix ever!

Performance may not be the best out there but visually and technically Crysis 2 is in league of its own

whats the online player count? and are online grafix same as offline? loads of grafix bugs and frames as low as 15fps ive seen some videos of enemies running about headbutting walls and running around in circles.

i know what you mean, C2 is unique in its play areas ie the scope, but image on screen i think its behind uncharted killzone or god of war, and theres no doubt uncharted 3 will top uncharted 2. i really dont know why you are constantly saying the same things over and over, its avail on ps3 and 360 just play the game and leave it be.

I play games not showcases that why i would rather play a  good looking game that runs as smooth as a babies bum than a very good looking game that is inconsistent especially when words like all most unplayable at times are bandied about.I have seen many a game caned for technical issues such as frame rate etc, but still i hear that Crysis 2 is a technical achievement, if it looked like it does with out its glaring issues and bought something unseen before in console gaming i might agree. It is a lot easier to push the envelope if you don't mind ripping it, a lot harder to push it while trying not to break it.



Research shows Video games  help make you smarter, so why am I an idiot
