[VG] Crysis 2 on X360 looks better than the original Crysis

Crytek's executive producer Nathan Camarillo play Crysis 2 on the Xbox 360, and it blew me away.

"Crysis still looks incredible some three years after its release. But that game was a PC exclusive that was pretty much unplayable on the maximum graphical settings on the hardware of the time. Crysis 2, a multiplatform game powered by Crytek's CryEngine 3, looks even better, despite running on a console that's nearly five years old."

[Strange_Evil]

Ya right.. More like Crysis 2 on X360 looks better than the original Crysis ON MEDIUM SETTINGS.

[dangert12]

but from what i hear there is noway this is true and if it is its not better then crysis on max settings

[Mista T]

lol this title on the article is hilarious!!! almost made me lose my drink!!!
watch link vid in hd, ;-)

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

as much as I love my xbox and ps3, crysis 1 graphics are not possible!

[HolyOrangeCows]

The PR is REALLY blowing out their backends, now.

[Shadow Flare]

That title is absolutely hilarious. Crysis is just in a league of its own. A league which current gen consoles can't touch. "Crysis 2 on X360 looks better than the original Crysis" is an absolute winner lmao

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Headshot81]

How much would that same exact gaming rig cost?

[WildArmed]

Crysis looks great. but the textures aren't always the best.

The lighting and water effects are simply mind blowing.
Same with Physics and animations.
And the art style is very eye pleasing.

But there is room for improvement.
I'm betting on Crysis 2 (PC) to blow Crysis away.

Btw,
between Uncharted 2, Killzone 2 and Crysis.
I'd choose Crysis due to its art style, but they all look marvelous.
Uncharted is a bit too colorful while K2 is a bit too bland.
But all three (to me) are on equal grounds in the graphics department. It's up to you to decide what art style you prefer

[gtamike123]

[The 10th Rider]

I built a gaming PC that runs Crysis on the highest settings without any problems for only $450.

[Steve_0]

@skv007,
I dont know, for me, out of the two fps', I'd actually argue that Killzone 2 is more impressive. It's gritty artistic style is more immersive, and I prefer the animations (like the kills, weapon reloads). also the exaggerated lighting shows it off quite a bit.
That said, Crysis is definitely the more photo-realistic, no question. But I find it's artistic quality a bit boring as a result. Then again, I haven't had the luxury of playing Crysis at true max potential with 16x anti aliasing and all that...
Uncharted for me is the sweet spot. Awesome environments paired with a unique artistic style, real cinematic hollywood experience. Character models that are out of this world... Paired with the amazing action sequences and it really keeps you on your toes... Killzone and Crysis to an extent don't feature the same variety in action and environments, so once you've played a bit of the jungle or of Helgan, you feel like you've seen most of it.
I prefer the story and the gameplay too.

EDIT: @The 10th Rider,
Really? Either those aren't all new parts, or you're exaggerating. There's no card retailing for less than about $300 that can run Crysis maxed out with respect to anti-aliasing and resoltion (ie, 1600x1200, 16x AA). Now if you mean max settings as in texture, shaders in game, then I believe you. Even my MacBook Pro can get close to that at a decent resolution and 2x AA with some tweaks, and that wasn't remotely bought to game on. Mind if I ask the specs?

[ShinMaster]

But how much for the PC in total?

[WildArmed]

@SteveO

As games, I prefer Uncharted 2 over the other two.
And second place Killzone 2 for it's amazing online player.

But I understand, I have a soft spot for photo-realism.
I can see why people would love Uncharted 2 gfx, it's amazing.

I forgot to mention MGS4 (which takes the cake for me), but it has lengthy installs so it's kinda in a different league of U2/K2.

But at the end of the day, I enjoyed all 4 games. And I dont regret buying the great experiences.

[sunnygrg]

I just had to come in and comment on the article or should I say rumor.

lol, just lol

[frankymv]

Devs will say anything these days to hype their games

[Nicholas Cage]

i agree. i dont even have to state which game will have the better graphics, ill let the pc gamers do it for me.

[Darkfocus]

people will say anything these days without reading the article.

it wasn't a dev that said it's the person who wrote this article(doubt he's even played the original crysis) :/

[ticklechamp]

Then they'll wonder why the reviewers handed out less than stellar scores.

[Hanif-876]

"The most impressive thing about Crysis 2's visuals is the somewhat mind-boggling idea that you can go anywhere" Is Crysis 2 a sandbox game?

[GWAVE]

This article is hilarious. Someone hasn't played the original Crysis... The size of the game world alone (not even on max settings) would make the 360 chug.

[Greywulf]

just. no.

[Tachyon_Nova]

Clearly the 360 can pull of Alan Wake, the game, afterall, is exclusive to 360...

[corneliuscrust]

more greywulf trolling!~

[shadow2797]

He was talking about the original open world version of Alan Wake, if anyone is confused.

[Sarcasm]

I don't know... I've played the Crysis demo on my PC on medium settings and it doesn't even look that good. Granted it's a HUGE space with tons of effects, lighting, etc. But it still doesn't even look that good.

The only time I was impressed with Crysis graphics is on Very High settings, but my PC cant handle it and only get about 12fps.

So saying Crysis 2 looks better on a console isn't exactly saying much.

Edit: Yeah my PC isn't the greatest, but it runs every game out there at MAX settings at 1680x1050 resolution 60fps+ 4xAA, which is good enough for me. It just so happens Crysis is so damn GPU dependant.

[eggbert]

your PC just sucks.

I'm assuming Crysis 2 will look around the rate of crysis on medium-low settings, but hell everyone knows the best graphics are with crysis mods.

Some of the mods you can install on crysis are just amazing (looking).

Even if it looks good, crysis 1 was a pretty lackluster game. I'm skeptical if this game is going to be much better.

[despair]

@eggbert

crysis was not lackluster. Just because many FPS just throw waves of enemies at you in stupid situations doesn't mean its a good idea. Crysis actually makes you think a little on approach and tactics before you fight.

Try crysis on hard or delta settings with a COD mindset and you will die alot.Its a great game and its not over before you blink either it has meat to it.

[mittwaffen]

Doubt that; i've seen the comparison videos and not anywhere CLOSE.

Medium/Low, subtract resolution (resolution made Crysis look amazing IMO; seeing leaves between leaves and crystal clear for as far as you can see was an amazing thing; I doubt it'll be able to play it 720P.

This game I'll have to pass, atleast on the consoles ;)!

[JsonHenry]

The throughput capabilities of the Xbox360 alone make this statement an outright technical lie if you are comparing it to the settings of the original maxed. It literally is just not physically possible.

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

Lol.

[kingjoker34]

This is so funny. No way in hell crysis 2 on 360 will look better then crysis 1 on PC. maybe at LOW settings, not even medium. Hell no ps3 game looks that good on crysis high settings. Although i do think it is a matter of time until a ps3 game achieves that goal....Uncharted 3, bring it naughtydog.

[zme-ul]

oh lol!
had to do it :D

[sid4gamerfreak]

"Crysis 2 on X360 looks better than the original Crysis"

BS. No way can crysis 2 on a console look better than a pc exclusive, thats just not possible. Unless the 360 has skipped generations of hardware to match the pc. (I seriously doubt that)

Actually, @Strange_Evil, its more like crysis 2 on 360 looks better than original crysis on ultra low settings. (is that even there?)

[aaron5829]

The Hype Train !

[ABizzel1]

Consoles won't get those kind of graphics until next gen.

[Shepherd 214]

Medium settings in the first Crysis were still really good, and people who played the original Crysis would know that.

Remember way back when people criticized Crysis 2 because they saw a couple gameplay screens that looked all low-rez and had jagged polys everywhere? Yea, the game was incomplete, and these screens look like theyre from a more recent build. Theyre gorgeous.

Just sayin'.

[nveenio]

I know I'm going to get disagrees for this, but I went back and played Crysis a few weeks ago, and I must say...it's showing its age. It really doesn't look as good as it did to me back when it first came out. Now, as for the engine, there's still no touching it. Messing with those Time of Day settings can really make some awesome graphics. But that doesn't require more power.

From a technical standpoint, Crysis was hardly optimized when it was released. This is evident by the fact that Warhead runs better on slower hardware. So, if Crytek says they've got CryEngine 3 optimized enough to warrant calling it number 3, then I have to believe them to a certain extent.

[ColdFire]

LOL, I max Crysis, I still haven't seen anything on Crysis 2 to match that.

[Meryl]

it looks even better on ps3 and pc still looks nowhere near as good as crysis 1:):)

[niceguywii60]

I'm going to believe the guy that has seen both games running on hardware. Thank you for your baseless opinion though.

[pixelsword]

If you think they aren't capable of pulling it off despite their vast technical skills versus the limitations of the platform, then you're justified, I guess.

If you believe that people can talk crap irregardless of what the end product will be like in the end, then you're also okay.

If you made it a point to say that they are the most skilled devs out there, then why would you not believe that the most skilled out there can pull it off, especially since the most skilled out there told you they already did?

From what I understand, there are already at least one game that was touted to be on an engine so efficient that it could run a game with incredibly good looks on the original xbox. Not that I believe a xbox game can look as good as a 360 HD game but if that's true, then it's possible, regardless of how unlikely, that these developers might be telling the truth: but if they're not, they'll fry for sure... bad enough the latest trailer looked like crud, but to put a boast out like they did will have fans and foes alike burning Crytek if they're lying.

[madmonkey0]

yeh right, I doubt even the PS3 version will look as good as crysis did on full settings.

[kaveti6616]

Don't know why you got disagrees. The 360 and PS3 are not powerful enough to pull off Crysis on full settings. Just not enough RAM and the CPU/GPU set ups are not up to par. High end PCs in 2007 were having problems running Crysis 1 at max settings.

Why do console owners believe that their 4 and 5 year old, closed-box, mid-level consoles can run it?

[Hanif-876]

Because even though your GPU/CPU might be high-end, you still have windows eating away all that power running in the background. therefore, consoles doesn't share this problem thats why you can get breathtaking graphics on 512mb of ram :-)

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

This stuff is the closest you'll get in getting what you paid for i have a ATI 5970 "not that i needed this" but it gave me an additional 32FPS in Crysis :-)

[Letros]

Next time buy yourself a quad or hex core CPU, OS gets dumped to an unused core.

[ultramoot]

Actually, the OS uses less than 1GB of RAM and hardly more than 10% of CPU power. So, in a system having a Quad Core CPU and 4GB RAM coupled with something like a GTX260 or better, the OS doesn't exactly cause resource-shortage.

Advice - Maybe it's time to move on from your P4 machine. lol just kidding.

[Hotel_Moscow]

somethings wrong my os on stand by after i ended some processes ended up at 1.6 gigs

[-Alpha]

Believe it or not some people are delusional enough to think that console graphics > PC graphics, despite the fact that PC models are updated constantly.

Crysis is one hell of a looking game. This sounds like an utter lie, but I can't wait to see this game.

[Ocelot525]

if u look at the average PC of the steam users than console graphics >>>>>> pc graphics

http://store.steampowered.c...

pc gamers logic stinks

if u would use the same logic for consoles and sony sells a limited 2000$ PS3 with 50 cores 3.2 ghz cell CPU and 4 of the latest nvidia GPU in SLI than console >>>> PC gaming, but such logic isn't fair

u need to compare consoles to €300 PC's with blu ray drives and such pc's suck

[Darkfocus]

http://store.steampowered.c...

look at the percentages 90% of the dx10 GPUs are more powerful than a console and all the dx11 ones listed so around 51% of steam users PCs are faster than consoles.

I also built my PC for $460 Canadian which is less than I payed for my Ps3 and almost the same as I payed for my 360 and it's far more powerful

[Sarcasm]

"Why do console owners believe that their 4 and 5 year old, closed-box, mid-level consoles can run it? "

The thing about Crysis is that it's terribly un-optimized. I'll get chewed out by some Crysis fanboys, but it's the truth. It relies way too heavily on the GPU to be ran perfectly. The only people who got to enjoy Crysis is the ones with SLI setups.

And why do I say it's unoptimized? Because it only rarely uses 60% of my CPU most of the time. Other games like Gears of War, Bioshock, and even Medal of Honor was always hittin 100% of the CPU which made the games run a buttery smooth 60fps+.

It's not unless they take advantage of the "closed-box, mid-level consoles" to maximize their CPU usage, cause we all know the GPUs aren't as powerful as today's gfx cards.

[mittwaffen]

Your dreaming if you think it'll be anywhere close to full settings.

Computers today still have issues ruinning it; and they can have the most powerful hardware ontop of this.

[madmonkey0]

yeh, that was my point.

[theonlylolking]

I dont even think they are trying to max out the PS3 at all like NaughtyDog,Guerilla Games, and sony santa monica studios. They are just trying to make the PS3 even with xbox so there wont be a HUGE war.

[SaberEdge]

Actually, that's not true. Internally they have two separate teams working on the 360 and PS3 versions and each team is said to be trying to outdo the other team.

We should get the best version possible on each console.

[Wizziokid]

i very much doubt this, well maybe medium spec but not ultra high sorry.

[Pandamobile]

Yeah-no.

First problem with that is the 360 lacks DX10, so you can count on all the pretty DX10 lighting effects, object motion blur, etc being non-existent.

Not to mention the large amount of RAM needed for all the high-res textures.

Crysis 2 on consoles will look like Crysis 1 on the high DX9 settings at its very best. Also at 30 FPS and 720p (lol)

[Trroy]

I imagine Crytek would opt to use 640p or so, to maximize the 360 framerate with its 10MB eDRAM. Framebuffer resolution is probably the major visual difference between the 360 version and the PS3 version, outside of something like MLAA on the PS3.

I wouldn't doubt that the 360 version looks stellar, even if the PS3 version looks better (according to the devs themselves), however.

[z1ck]

crysis only suports dx9 they just decided to lock ultra high settings in dx9 cards so that ppl would buy more nvidia dx10 cards . crytek even confirmed this was true , if you visit crysis oficial forum you will find mods to unlock the settings .

[Sarcasm]

In Crysis 1, they said that Direct X10 isn't possible on Windows XP, thus Direct X9 is only available. Crytek tried to limit people with DX9 machines to the "High Settings" not letting them go to the "Very high" settings. But people found that small tweak to let us run near DX10 quality under "Very High" settings even though it's still in DX9. Granted, there may be a few effects here and there that DirectX10 may have over the tweak DX9 very high settings, but still it's pretty damn close enough. Just look at the pictures.

http://www.ngohq.com/news/1...

[Ocelot525]

don't want to burst your bubble pandamobile but dx10 effects are possible on console trough software emulation

[FantasyStar]

I know for sure that Object Motion Blur is a DX10 thing only. Back when I had the XP OS, I tried various .cfgs to get all the effects, but object blur wasn't one I can get perfectly. I can still get motion blur in the simple sense, but object-blur like when you hit someone in Speed Mode or when you snap to your scope.

[STONEY4]

Even with the whole "DX10 in DX9 Crysis", there was still a noticable difference as far as pop in, LOD, shadow quality, and motion blur, and there are a few graphical glitches as well, especially with faces and object motion blur. Proof right there that DX10 wasn't a hoax like some people say, as no amount of DX9 tweaking will fix these.

[Theonetheonly]

OG Crysis ate up all 2 GB of my Ram and The whole 768MB of my 8800GTX at the time. I personally believe no amount of texture compression could slim this down to a console memory footprint without, SIGNIFICANT quality loss.

I just cannot see it.

[WMW]

lmfao

[2late]

clearly the guy who wrote the article never saw crysis 1 maxed out

[hadouken007]

i can lie that good.

[Crusade]

Rofl ok

[frankymv]

Uhh...no

[Colonel-Killzone]

I believe he is lying.

[e-p-ayeaH]

why even care what he as to say?

[ultramoot]

Uh-oh, I can sense a heated debate rising.

Anyway, unless the author is blind, retarded or joking, I'd say he's never seen, much less played, Crysis on max settings @ 1080p.

P.S. - Who approved this article?

[RatFuker]

eat rat sh!t. they lie!

[Pandamobile]

Someone wake me up when consoles have graphics like this:
http://www6.incrysis.com/sc...
http://www6.incrysis.com/sc...
http://www6.incrysis.com/sc...
http://www6.incrysis.com/sc...

[mirroredderorrim]

Thank you, Panda. Thank you for reminding us why Crysis is still the graphics king of this generation.

[ultramoot]

True. But try convincing the hardcore console fanboys of that. lol

[badz149]

I think everyone agrees (yeah, even the hardcore console fanboys!) that PC graphics are in the league of its own especially with Crysis!

but there are games on PC that don't look THAT good either! games like KZ2, UC2 and GoW3 puts many games on PC to shame albeit only 720p! - but certainly not Crysis!

[Nitrowolf2]

HOLY F that one with the gun on the screen on the right and the leaf, OMG the Enviroment looks so real, no way PS3 and 360 could pull that off

[waterboy]

especially from what digi guys has said about ps3, gow 3 and uncharted 2 and other ps3 exclusives say bullsh1t to your comment

[Nitrowolf2]

dude waterboy i am a huge PS3 fan, but come one all those games you listed look great, Killzone 2, Uncharted 2, GOw3, MGS4 they all look great but that shot looks like its life. I have never seen a PS3 game pull that off, only game that comes close to looking like its actually real, like it literally can't tell the difference is GT5.
I highly Doudbt it can, Crysis even on a computer with more Ram and a strong Proccessor like many has stated had trouble running crysis to the max.

[hoops]

Waterboy needs drugs. The PS3 could NEVER pull of Crysis visuals. GOD3, UC2 and KZ3 are not even close and those are the best games on the PS3 and they are not close to that level of photrealism with THOSE PHYSICS OF DESTRUCTION. You fail as the norm,

[Ravenor]

@Waterboy

The most important detail you leave out is that, KZ2, Uncharted 2 and God of War 3 are all linear games with one path every where. All great games, but they are just not close to what CE2 and Crysis do.

What worries me most is, is the whole world split up by cells? (Any console open world game has cells) if the Crysis 2 map is split up into many different cells then we can probably give up on the stuff that made the first Crysis awesome.

Also I want to disagree that UC2 and GoW3 put PC games to shame. Low res textures and some really shitty foliage seem to be a common culprit. Watch the mountain at the start of GoW3, you can't miss it they are climbing it LOW RES TEXTURE MOUNTAIN. When Drake and Sully visit the jungle to plant the explosives for the diversion pay attention to the foliage and and ground textures on the camera pan in, FUGLY.

The PS3 and 360 cannot do Crysis.

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

''Crysis 2 on X360 looks better than the original Crysis''

Yeah right, and Wii is capable to run Cry Engine 3 maxed out:

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Nitrowolf2]

blew my mind

[stonecold1]

ps3 is only 3 years and 3 mnths in pal

[FantasyStar]

Panda, what CFG was being used when those shots were cap'd?

[Pandamobile]

Not sure exactly.

My personal favourite is Real Life-sis. Installing Real Life-sis is like adding a whole new level beyond DX10 Very High.

@Waterboy

Install a custom "time of day" mod (basically just alters the lighting a little bit) and Crysis really does look like those screenshots (yes, in real-time)

[FantasyStar]

aww, alright then.... :(

I'm still kinda using the Mster cfg until the time is right to get my DX11 Card.

[STONEY4]

Here are some:
Real Life-sis: Personally the Depth of Field is overload to me, but it can be adjusted if you don't like it, and overall it is the best IMO, it simply looks amazing. I rate this as my #1 mod.

Ultra High mod: Biggest difference in this are the shadows, it gives a cool tone to the game because of the stark differences between lit areas and shaded areas, an effect that I personally like, but it doesn't do anything else that Real Life-sis doesn't do better, and has a few glitches.

Natural Mod: The downside is that it only works in DX9, but it is a nice Time of Day mod, and is really friendly to lower end cards since it also boosts the framerate if I remember correctly. The levels have a more varied feel since all of the jungle levels have different TOD settings for each. Good performance/visual ratio.

Mster cfg: My least favorite out of the popular ones, this is pretty much a 100% performance mod, even if you set it to run at the highest cfg mode, it still doesn't look as good as the original game, since it sacrifices quite a few things for performance boosts. Best performance mod, worst visual mod out of these.

[waterboy]

while your playing stop posting crysis screens its showing that the games realtime isnt all that

mrs. delusional is delusional.

[tinybigman]

console graphics will ever top PC really needs to have head examined, and i'm more of a console player then pc.

this guy is just trying to hype up the 360 version; next article you'll see him say the ps3 one looks better than crysis 1

[ASSASSYN 36o]

WOW! After you wake panda up... wake me up too!

[Rhythmattic]

How in the hell did Panda get disagrees for pointing out plain, simple fact....

[hoops]

Because the disagrees came from a console fanboy wishing his/her console could run a gamelike Crysis at that fidelity.

[hoops]

And people believe console games look better than Crysis...lets not even mention Crysis Warhead that looked better than Crysis

[noxeven]

Agree today they still keep eff up the gun model lol

[wicko]

Someone's never played Crysis on PC before.

[bjornbear]

whoever said this doesn't know what crysis looks like on max settings (mind boggling)

[Forbidden_Darkness]

360 fanboy or not, there is one thing we can agree on... Hell no!

[redDevil87]

he be trollin lol

[Trroy]

Honestly, tech isn't the only factor here. Crytek's art team is probably better educated this time around as well -- they can get more out of the same hardware by utilizing it better from the art front.

Smarter alpha usage, smarter material swapping, etc. More bang, less buck, comes from more than merely horsepower.

[Falloutxii]

Excuse me if I don't hold my breath.

[NexGen76]

I hope no one here from both(PS3 & 360)sides fall prey to this flame bait BS......

[GrilledCheeseBook]

the screenshots say no

[Ashriel]

Title should be "Crysis 2 on X360 looks better than the original Crysis(on medium settings)"

Seriously, the title is misleading .-.

[KillerPwned]

Nice try at being a fanboy and making up false information i have ran crysis on max settings on a monster of a pc. Their is no way the 360 pulled it off to look better. I doubt the ps3 could pull it off either but i did hear from a lot of interviews from the developers that the ps3 did perform better then the 360 with crysis 2 but they made sure their isent a huge difference.

[despair]

biggest joke for the week lol...better than crysis..still laughing.

[vTuro24]

yeah...good luck with that...

Could this possibly be the very first multi-plat console graphics king? KZ2 who? UC2 and GOW3 can also say bye bye. Maybe this will finally bring a little peace to N4G and shut some teenagers up. We shall see.

[Biggest]

If you wish really, really hard. . . Nope. It won't happen even then. Don't be sad that certain games on a certain console make certain (all) games on another console look outdated.

[xg-ei8ht]

Actually from what i've heard.

All shader,lighting fx god rays etc are in the PS3 and 360 versions.

You'll have a shorter view distance and low rez obviously.

But it'll look better then crysis on med fx wise.

View distance etc would be tonned down, as would lod.

But i think you guys will be impressed with all versions.

[keysy420]

the stuff that happens on the computer they cant even pull off on systems. if you have played crysis you will know how dynamic the enviorment is that really brings it to life along with the graphics something that cnat be pulled off on the 360 or the ps3 so get out of here with these bullsh1t articles

[United4Life]

As Much as I Love my PS3 , It Doesn"t Get anywhere near to Crysis on PC, and they think that The 360 version will better it.

LOL

[SephireX]

This article proves that the five year old 360 is better than three year old top-end PCs. /s

[prettyboy1]

this guy oviously never played crysis on a high level.i dont think the ps3 could do it much less the 360

[likedamaster]

I hope they add dismemberment. Make it realistic too, not that BS COD:WaW did.

[Masta Kaos]

Crysis 2 on PS3 looks better than the original Crysis.....see....i fixed it.

[mindz]

http://www.youtube.com/watc... nothing can beat this

[newarknj360]

many of you will be surprised.... when u look at the specs of the ps3 and xbox360 they're nearly equal ps3 advantage is blu ray as we all know i downloaded the trailer to crysis 2 on xbox live and it looks better than anything on consoles to me

[C_Dub]

This game should just stay on PC only, it's causing too much fighting in the gaming community and it's taking too much work for two completely different and outdated consoles to run this game at a decent rate and graphically, it won't take advantage of DX11 or even DX10 effects. I agree with the guy that said this game will be like high DX9 graphics at 720p or less...Pitiful. Is that really what you guys want. This, at least to me, is not a good move for anyone involved with Crysis and it looks like they're just whoring out to the consoles for an extra buck. Really it is like trying to make a full fledged PS3 game like Uncharted run on a PS1...Imagine the cuts and downgrades they would have to make. The same is being done to Crysis. They're going to have to butcher the game to make it work.

[theonlylolking]

We have people like VG saying how much better the 360 looks then the PC.

If you are going to compare then create a seperate engine made for each of the platforms. Everyone has seen halo reach designed for 360 and Killzone 2 for PS3 and Crysis 1 for PC. Well which game looks the best!

They should just be allowed for 360 cysis to use the halo reach engine. Killzone 2 engine for PS3 crysis and update the graphics for PC crysis.

From what all of us has seen from the new screens released the game does not look much differant from MW2.

Crysis is the king of FPS graphics. There is only 1 FPS that has come close to Crysis and tahts Killzone 2.

These people are just Fanboys to say those screens look better then Crysis!!! They look worse then Medium settings from what I have seen.

Compare the Killzone 2 pic, Crysis 1 pic, and Crysis 2 pic(console).

Wonder if your Wrong then what dkgshiz .Remember Crysis is done on DVD.You may be obviously WRONG.

I stopped believe in what the developers say about the graphics of their game a long time ago...

Its all pr now, games have become big business.

Crysis on it's highest settings is still VERY far ahead of many games out now and most likely ones still to come, Just like Crysis 2 on PC Will destroy everything else graphic wise, there's no way Crysis 2 on 360 looks ANYWHERE near as good as Crysis was on any GOOD pc running it

[bobdog626]

It was done on a Single DVD not a Bluray.LOL

after 3 years crysis still holds the throne

Everyone is so impressed with Crysis 2 that they switched their pre-order and are abandoning Halo Reach. Crysis 2 will sell 3 million copies at launch day and is crowned the Halo killer, finally our king has arrived!!

Never Happen

I forgot type the word sarcasm.....

Ok, this guy is exaggerating, but something obviously got him excited. The game clearly looks amazing and his enthusiasm has me excited to see just how good Crysis 2 will look on the consoles.
