i hate pcgames mag its awefully written, awefull ratings for games (far overrated) and this whole crysis mania is getting on my nerve :D

proof ?

tomb raider
tiberium
borderlands
cod world at war
ghost busters ?

these dont even come close to crysis engine, but yet they still make an obsolete article about the possiblity of 10 upcoming games beating crysis in terms of graphics.

1.1 - Why do we need a Crysis killer?

It's already dead.

Unless you have a really high end PC.

Crysis is only fun when it has good graphics. Try playing it on low or medium or even medium-high; it fu*king sucks and is boring as hell.

How is Crysis dead? You can play it on a $300 ATI 4870 video card. If you can afford a Xbox 360 then you can play Crysis. Quit living in the past, in the PC word what is highend 3 months ago is mid range today.

Pointless exercise, it will be 2009 before we see anything that stands up against Crysis.

Far Cry is certainly the best comparison in there if you ignore Warhead as it's essentially the same engine.

Most of those other games don't even come close based on the screen shots. Warhead looks amazing and is supposedly playable on more "average" machines. I'll definitely be getting that one. Far Cry 2 looks good as well. It will really be interesting to see how Killzone 2 measures up to Crysis.

Nothing can be compared to Crysis Graphics IMO. And nothing SHOULD be compared. Reason being that crysis can theoretically be ran at true 1920x1080 resolution (or even greater).

Console games should be compared to console games only.

Crysis is one of those games that will define the standard for graphics for years. In every generation there is one such game, but it's good to see a top tier graphic engine that isn't dominate by Id or Epic.

5 - Yeah.....

They will probably beat crysis on medium setting on direct x9 but they will never beat crysis on high or very high on direct x10 or x9. Crysis is a graphics and cpu monster, the is RARELY any pc that can run crysis at its full very high potential(direct x10 very high and 16xAA).....and if it can, i guarentee it is less than 30fps with lots of lag. Only movie studios and game companies have the kind of graphics and cpu power to run crysis at its very high potential with no lag and i bet their pc cost at least $7,000 or more.

no need to flaim in any direction mate, you can think about crysis what ever you want. i myself dont like it that much is was a good game.

but technically crysis is still unbeatable and killzone is the only game that "could" manage to beat crysis visually in the next 6 months.

in terms of "looking better" you can say that i think killzone definatly looks alot better then crysis (personal taste) but only visually (design, style) not technically (effect depth, draw distances, shaders, etc.).

funny now im a pcfan in denial

I hate those graphics news/articles. Where are those times when we read about "most innovative" games, gameplay and story...
It's second post today concerning visuals. Are visuals really that important right now?

BTW I found Crysis really boring but I can't deny it's visually impressive.

why should i, of course all you pc fans will just jump on the bandwagon and defend crysis to the max, the reality is that crysis is an overhype which crytek hyped up for graphics, and opened the door for pc fans to jump on the bandwagon to hype also, its your last exclusive so you defend it to the max, just like now, every comment on this post other than mine defends crysis as looking the best, and thats definitive in being as crysis is being defended by pc fans like so, but if you think crysis looks that great, then please feel free, but several games out and coming beat it alot

Remember Crysis has huge island maps with destructible environments, and I doubt Killzone 2 will managae that, and I hope the developers show off something new, other than that dark grey map.

11.1 - i would maybe agree with you, but

killzone 2 is yet being mistaken as cgi, i havent ever seen an article yet on the internet where people are disputing whether the graphics are realtime or not, ps3 is the only place where games are still in dispute to which the graphics are realtime or not

why when people actually prove that there are games that have better graphics than crysis do pc fans go to saying crysis has better textures and big huge streaming levels and destructible landscapes and whatever else that truly doesnt have anything to do with what eyes see? your proving to me when people all come to the page and 10 outta 12 post defend crysis that crysis isnt the best looking game, when a game is being recognized all over and has haters like some certain games, thats when you get your real visual winner

Whoever says Crysis is mediocre is retarded...that game had incredible gameplay and gave you many options on how to play it because of the nanosuit. It's not just some incredible looking run and gun shooter. Imagine cloaking, running up to someone, choking them, turning on super strength, and throwing him into another guy...or even throwing them into a tree and the tree collapsing. Using super speed to run behind another guy and shooting him in the head with a silenced pistol...incredible physics, and for an FPS the story was actually really good...it's just the ending leaves you hanging, that's the only negative. As far as graphics go, no game on consoles or PC has touched it yet, even the AI was good. Also if anyone has seen the new Master Config mod in action, the game looks even better...so many haters...

idTech5 doesn't have any large improvements in graphics in the engine itself. Emphasis on graphics were made from idTech3 to 4. The only reason Rage looks so much better than previous idTech4 games (Doom 3) is because hardware has become so much faster since then. If ID was to rebuild Doom 3 today, it wouldn't look too far from Rage in terms of detail, even if it was still on idTech4.

idTech5 still has nothing on Cryengine2 in terms of graphics technology.

what are you talking about, crysis is nothing compared to the CG like graphics of GHOST BUSTERS.

but seriously the only games that i have seen compete with crysis's graphics are Killzone 2 and MGS4. (Infact in some areas Killzone's graphics seem better.)

3 - Anything's possible...

...However unlikely.

Crysis pretty much raised the bar for PC games to come for a looong time; and with Crysis, it's graphics capability is determined by the power of your PC; which, the last I've checked, haven't been maxed-out as of yet.

I think other games/engines may be more impressive in terms of gameplay or the way they display graphics, but I don't think they can actually be better in terms of resolution.
