Not best looking PS3 game but probably the best Xbox360 and PC game

Also KZ3, UC2 and GOW3 all do not have full realtime lighting. They dont. Nor do they have full realtime shadows. Again realtime physics do not apply to every object in KZ3, UC2 or GOW3 either. Couple that with Crysis 2 at it's biggest ponts at least 2 to 3 times the size if not more in play space area than any of those games and any Console game pitted against Crysis 2 looks pretty pointless. I would love to see Crytek make a game with levels as small as KZ3's or UC2's and see just how much the textures etc would be upped. It would be huge. All in all, When you playthrough Crysis 2 and you come up over a cliff edge only to find that everything you see before you is actual game play space that you are seriously impressed. I love the way the first achievement you get on Crysis 2 is named "can it run Crysis". Says everything any gamer needs to know. The first console game to be fully realtime. No smoke and mirrors. Just like Crytek critised the other devs in the console business for so far this gen. Smoke and mirror tactics. Which will never allow them to create fully fledged big play areas like seen in Crysis 2. The bigger you go, the more obvious things like Global illumination etc are to see if it's there or not. |
they also said the 3d is better on kz. did you not read my post, or even DF.
sure they dont have FULL real time lighting. but they dont need it either because in many aspects it looks better. they dont have odd, jaggy glithy shadows, and everthing has a shodow. you pass over a light source in any of those games, it casts a realistic shadow. you shoot a light, it goes out and part of the screen goes dark accordingly. (there were a lot of lights/lamps in crysis where no mater how much you shot it, the light would still shine) in UNcharted and GOW when nathan and kratos take steps their feet cast shadows even.
and every game uses smoke and mirrors to achieve great visuals that includes crysis. whos to say games like KZ and U2 couldnt produce the same visual having bigger environments. crysis is far from open/world. KZ and U2 are more closed not because of technical limitations, but rather game play,, the direction the want to take the game. and they could definitely do it, if they sacraficed so much performance like crysis does (which i mentioned earlier). the game can be the most realistic in the world, but does it matter, or even have the best graphics, if its glitching like crazy, drops frame rate like crazy, and has pop in. (again not saying this is what crysis dos, though it does just to a lesser extent) the answer is no.
KZ's (especially 3), U2, GOW run perectly and have flawless visuals. thats why they are graphics kings

You keep going on about these glitches.
Yes theres glitches. But nowhere near the level you are portraying. Ive played nearly 8 hours of the 360 version campaign. Main noticeable glitches are enemies clipping when they die, and some pop in. Although the pop in isnt nearly as bad as DF portray. In fact theres so much going on most of the time you dont even notice it. Take Crysis 2's trees. And the shadows they cast. Every twig, leaf is completely shadowed. After the flood and you wake up. That section where theres lots of trees is beautiful. Walking under all of them and seeing all the shadows and lighting is perfect. And the river flowing down the middle. The water was near perfect.
Other engines would have to be changed alot to get anywhere near that. Let alone the size of that level.

fair enough, i will not be able to convince you. the game clock said it took me about 8 hr. 49min to beat, but im pretty sure it took longer with all my deaths and everything. so you should be close to beating it. but im just saying im sure if you owned a ps3 and KZ's, U@, and GOW, you may very well change you mind.
anyway this discussion is gay. you have your opinion, i have mine, and you at least back up your claims with real reasons which is why i have little problem with your opinion, its people like Nsanity that dont give any reasons, and just post youtube vids of a guy saying it is the best for his proof.

:)
Ive seen and played alot of KZ3 and UC2 ( although I admit Ive finshed niether ).
We are all humans and think for ourselves. :)
I wasn't too impressed with it. Thought that it was below God of War, Uncharted 2 and a host of others.
Well I finished the PC one today (bad framerate reports for the PS3 version put me off)... and honestly the game is a mixed bag. If the console versions aren't up to the PC (I played at 1680x1050 on extreme detail), then there is NO WAY it is the best looking console game.
Stuff I liked:
*Motion blur
*Explosions and (particle effects in general)
*Nice "hollywood" set pieces (like helicopters slamming into buildings etc)
Stuff that sucked:
*Horrible shadow scaling into the distance. Pop-in and shifting and all sorts of strange things I noticed.
*Trees (and foliage in general). Weren't convincing at all to me.
*Over-bloomed to glory. Small lights seem to have 2d light-flare effects like Black Ops had. At least the light scatter from the sky was nice.
*Very simple looking NY skyline at times. Cardboard box looking on occasion.
*Textures... some very bad ones, especially the street textures.
*Weird animations (characters stuck in a loop), or even worse... no animations, like soldiers disappearing from the street and being on the back of vehicles the next second.
*The water... Crysis use to own water like ID Software owns pentagrams. None of the water reflects the enironment in real time any more (or none that I saw). It's all just premade env maps. Very disappointing.
It least at ran very well.

After that... sure Crysis 2 holds its place....
By the way.. only vote if you have both consoles... half these 360 guys have never seen a ps3 exclusive in action and desperately want to claim their console can produce the best graphics..... |
So you have a 360 then?

Cooking some great DX11 tech bits for C2 fans, be patient guys. All I can say, is that we have 16 ms or more to have fun with pc hardware...
