Thank you at least one person can read.

@everyone And even Splinter Cell was held back by the PS2 version. If you make the game for PS2 and then do a seperate version for XBOX the games would look even more better. The end result we got was PS2 version with added stuff and different character models. But the core of the XBOX version is still PS2 level it is in its core still the same game that was coded with PS2 in mind. (world geometry, hovercraft/ship etc etc)

And people should really stop looking at character models and shaders (Look at Resident Evil revelations on 3DS to see what I mean). Crysis 3 is still held back by the consoles. I have not played Crysis 3 enought to  make an educated guess  but I would assume even that is still looking worse than Crysis 1 in terms of geometry etc (and even if not well Crysis is from 2007 so what?)
And btw Crysis 3 runs at 20fps or so on consoles... (so its obviously holding back PC less than a 30FPS console title would)

Also its just normal for devs to get more out of old consoles. So having Crysis 3 on consoles be on par with a 2007 title is nothing to celebrate.

First off, it wasn't a matter of not reading. I specifically searched "Crysis 2 comparison" and that video popped up. But I already did you one better by showing Crysis 3, which blows the console version out the water on PC.

And, actually, Splinter Cell has always been a more Xbox centric franchise, with Xbox being the lead platform and Xbox being the best version for pretty much every title. But they're all held back because they're the "same game"? What....were they supposed to be different games between the two consoles' respective versions? Are you seriously saying the flat out better graphics, lighting, textures, etc is still "held back"....because the game came out on PS2 as well? Or do you believe that lead platforms are the recipients of ports? You got the PS2 version with extra stuff....even though the Xbox version was actually coded with the PC in mind (Ubi Montreal dev'd it, then ported Xbox --> PC, whereas Ubi Shanghai did the PS2/GCN versions)? Ok.

You clearly don't know what you're talking about (or are just making stuff up), so I'm done here. Bringing up geometry...even though it still looks miles better on the PC. You can't discredit objective proof because it doesn't fit your agenda. It's only natural to get more out of old consoles so it's nothing to celebrate? So showing the PC version blowing out the console version doesn't mean anything? That just boils down to "oh no, don't talk about Crysis 3. That debunks my argument". Yea, I'm out. Because you're obviously missing the point of this discussion that there was no parity for Xbox vs PS2 or PS3/360 vs PC. PC looked better than PS3/360 games. Xbox games looked better than PS2 games. But this gen devs are "aiming for parity". People keep saying "nobody complained in the PS2 era when PS2 held back games"....well, at least the Xbox, GCN, and PC versions were still better and rightfully so. We aren't getting the same treatment this gen, in terms of the goals devs are having

That's exactly what happened last gen, and it will happen again this gen.   Killzone 2 and Uncharted made everything else look last gen, and all of the Sudden BF3 had extra AA and better textures on PS3.  This time the difference in power is FAR bigger so this should be pretty fun to watch...

Yep. Its already been happenig. Sony's exclusive have already outshined Microsoft, especially seeing that we've found out most of the Xbox Ones exclusives weren't even tailor made for the hardware because they were third party games MS paid or gained exclusivity through broken deals with Sony. Sony is only going to get better over the years and the until some years from now its only going to resolution war. Sooner or later the major FPS and Framerate issues will show and we all know who is going to bottleneck first.

Well that sucks...thanks X1 for consistently lowering the quality of multiplat games:)

yup, once games like The Order, and Uncharted 4 hit I don't think you'll see too many more hackjob multiplats.
