It's still too early to make any conclusions, but the basic statement from Crytek was that CE3 will run slightly better on the PS3. Not much to debate there.

The interesting thing is that the focus seems to be on AI and physics, generally accepted as the PS3's greater strengths, but AI and physics really aren't what I'd consider to be two of the greater strengths of the Cry Engine used in Crysis and Warhead.

AI was actually one of the more faulty aspects of the game. Regular enemies had inexplicably enhanced senses but would respond unnaturally in many engagement scenarios. Physics actually felt considerably floaty given the degree of realism given to the rest of the game. Those were two areas I felt KZ2 accomplished better, which seems to support that a properly optimized physics engine for the PS3 utilizing the SPEs should yield better results.

No, blatantly fanboyism pisses me too Carl. Only fanboys think they no better than the developer.

Crytek are like id post Doom in some ways IMHO, great engine, but they seem to struggle to actually make the best of it themselves.

Everything was in there, but they failed to utilise it as well as they could.  Warhead I thought was better (not that Crysis was bad, it just didn't make the most of what it had) and was clearly built on the feedback on Crysis.

Only fanboys can read a definitive statement from a quote in a informal interview with no full transcript to review.  Also the interview in question hardly covers the details of what "ran" slightly better.  Numonex might very well be a fanboy but at least he's not the one reading a significant performance advanatage without any game code being actually produced as evidence on the engine.

Carl equally annoyed me with the use your brain statement, I did, which is why I didn't jump onto the sheep train of just accepting the majority view.  Some of you guys could be more tolerant to others opinions from time to time.

Care to tell who have said that SPEs are better at AI than any other processor? That just doesn't sound right.

OT:

But... but... but... weren't eurogamer on ban because of antisony stuff? :D

In outdoor screenshots you can clearly see that mountains are crappier in X360 version, but I wouldn't say that grass is crappier, because there might be some motion blurring going on. Unless game looks like that when one stands still of course.

In indoor screenshots you can clearly see that light on the wall is crappier on PS3. Its much smoother in X360 version. Also shadows are more detailed in X360 version. Even if screenshot is one or two steps backwards you can clearly see holes in girders shadows(Just some right from the middle of the picture.).

Nothing else... This time. :)

Personally i think only fanboys will notice the difference. I can't see fook all thats different. All i know is that the $150 console will play the game the same as the $400 console. Is there a $250 difference in the game?

Doubtable

^^ Huh I see........

 hahahahahahahahahahahah this made me laugh, are we supposed to care more about its' sales rather than its graphics ect? 

And the 360 and ps3 doesnt just get the same games.

@carl. cant say i like him, mainly because of his disturbing profile pic.

Actually, that's what I'd like to know. So your console has better graphics than another one. Now what? o_0

shit storm for what...this:

""The CE3 runs currently at more or less the same quality bar. I say more or less because the engine still optimizes itself to power of the platforms' intrinsics. So the PS3 will run slightly better here, it'll look and feel probably the same, but the engine is diverting computation needs to power subsystems available to the PS3, and the 360 differently, and PC differently."

ROFLOL...if someone wants to use this to say ps3 version is better, let them feel free to do so...Seems to me that it's going to be up to the developer to maximize the engine for the system, and it doesn't address the resources required to work on the different platforms to get results.

Also, in looking at those pictures, the first picture looks better on the ps3 than the 360, but we have no idea how clinical the test are, because the 360 pic looks better on the second picture than the ps3 imho...so what exactly can one discern from that...ZIPPO...show me some finished product, not some stills, which aren't even the exact same freeze frame...not very analytical for a analytical question...
