SOME PCs are more powerful. I know my PC would not be able to run Crysis at that level, or UC2 for that matter.

This is not really a fair comparison. But I gotta say that UC2 looks fantastic regardless of whether or not Crysis looks better or not.

When PS3 games come out they get compared to Crysis or real life.

When Wii games come out they get compared to 360 games.

honestly the only thing Crysis has over UC2 is resolution, texture sizes and memory. That being said IMO UC2 is light years beyond Crysis in what it actually accomplishes on screen. Crysis is for spec whores UC2 is for gamers.

This is a bit stupid, they are both games with guns in them. Thats where the similarity ends.
Why don't they compare it to what Crysis would look like running on a PC that cost £250 ? And lets see what kinda frame rate they get too.

now I have heard plenty of you PS3 fans claim PS3 has the best graphics in gaming, period, I think even IGN or Gametrailers claimed some crap like that once.

You guys also claimed the Cell is FAR more powerful than any measly intel or AMD chip. But now that we see side by side screens of Crysis making Uncharted look like a PS2 game, you claim this is not fair to compare??? What gives guys?

Agree(5) | Disagree(31) | Report

stevenhiggster - 62 days 19 hours ago

Behave yourself Strike.
Look at the resolution the guy claims to have taken those screens at. Even a muppet knows they are purely pretty screen grabs. I don't imagine there are many PC's that could actually run the game at that resolution. Certainly not with anything like a playable frame rate. And anyway, Crysis is the ONLY game on any platform that looks better than any PS3 exclusive.

Uncharted 2 is probably the best looking PS3, make that console, game to date. Killzone 2 has better quality almost across the board, but UC2 looks better.

But don't compare it to Crysis, it's an unfair comparison, nothing on the PS3, not even CryEngine 3 games will be comparable to Crysis. Even if they do manage to come close to Crysis, by then Crysis 2 will be out, and will set the bar even further out of reach. This isn't an attack on the PS3, it's a very powerful piece of machinery, particularly given its price. But it's just stupid to compare console games to PC games, although the price difference between a gihe-end PC + 1080p monitor and a PS3 + 720 TV isn't really as large as people think.

@ piroh: Are you really trying to tell me that only hardcore PC fans can tell the difference between Crysis and UC2? Get real.

@ People saying UC2 is second best lookign game period: I disagree. Far Cry 2 looks pretty poor on consoles, but it is better on PC than UC2.

They're two completely different games on 2 completely different platforms. I can run Crysis on near highest settings in 1680x1050 with 4x AA and it runs no less than 50 FPS. Comparing a game like Uncharted 2 that was developed on a closed hardware architecture shouldn't be compared to a game that can run on open hardware that is PC-based. Crysis runs and looks great on my PC. Uncharted 2 looks great and runs great on the PS3. Different systems, different games. The two shouldn't be compared.

9800GTX+oc sli owner bought cheap, I can get crysis running pretty good.

But I still see this and am floored at its AAA quality, and even in the beta the presentation leaves crysis flapping about like a screaming korean soldier :)

Crysis might have more polygons, but that's about where its claim to fame ends. Killzone 2 and Uncharted 2 both have better art direction, animation, gameplay, sound, etc. And honestly, if you knew anything about developing games you would know that creating a graphically intensive game like Crysis is actually easier than optimizing for current hardware.

When people bring up how great Crysis is, it just shows their ignorance as anyone with just a little bit of knowledge understands that its a poorly developed game.

People can say Crysis looks better all day long. But the fact of the matter is Uncharted 2 blows the doors of Crysis far as gameplay and features.

danfry - 61 days 20 hours ago

This is Crysis running with its settings fully maxed out, running at least 1920x1200 res. Sure it looks nice as a screen shot, but I bet it would be unplayable - probably running at about 8 or 12 frames per second.

I have a decent PC running a Core i7 processor with 6 Gigs of triple channel ram with 2 ATI Radeon 4870 graphics cards in Crossfire and I still can't run Crysis at these settings - sure I can have almost everything on high settings but only at a max of 1280x960 resolution.

So unless you have about £1800 worh of PC rig, you will not be able to play Crysis looking like the screen shots in this article. Pound for Pound the PS3 kicks the PC's ass.

You may have £1800 knocking around to buy a super PC rig, but for what - only a handfull of games that have been released over the last few years - Uncharted 2 FTW

To be honest, Crysis is a great looking game, if you want to be fair, run crysis on 500megs of ram and nvidia 7 series video card ( the ps3 nvidia equivalent)

Uncharted, I feel holds it’s own with less than half the hardware specs, and the cell picking up the slack.

most of the fanboyism you'll find on here, most PS3 gamers are good dudes, and as a gamer period, I've always had respect for PC gaming, because lets face it, it truly is the superior platform.

That being said, Uncharted 2 looks bloody amazing, but it looks bloody amazing in a different way from Crysis, I would like to say that their both graphical powerhouses that look and play amazing...so I will!

Agree PC game look amazing compared to ps2/n64 game back in the days, that where i expanded my gaming experience with game like CS, WC3, Star Craft, Diablo, HalfLife, Sims. We all know that PC are powerful with game like Crysis. I haven't played it yet because my computer can handle it, but i can tell that it look better. When comparing UC2 to other games on ps3/x360 nothing matches it. Back to UC2 demo

Indeed, just being compared to Crysis is surely a honour for any console game.

Although I will say, Uncharted looks like that for everyone, while Crysis on the other hand is only achievable to that degree on very few peoples rigs.

fail

it was BASED on the 7800 chipset, Sony had nvidia make some serious modifications to it. Stuff that neither will reveal to this day.
Add that to the fact that you can split the rendering pipeline between the RSX and SPUs we can't actually compare it to pc GPUs. It is MUCH more advanced than anything seen on PC even to this day.

You mean "unified" as in "only one set of hardware to work with?", or "unified" as in "steamlined architecture bounded by shared ram, mem controller, data controller"

Agree(1) | Disagree(1) | Report

Fishy Fingers - 62 days 19 hours ago

Unified, meaning the developers know exactly what hardware their game/engine will run on, allowing them to concentrate and squeeze out as much from that hardware as possible. As apposeed to PC where they have to cater to countless CPUs, GPUs, operating systems etc, configurations.

Case in point, if we all ran exactly the same spec PCs, we'd get better results as the developers can cater to exactly that.

So yeah, one set of hardware.

Kleptic - 62 days 18 hours ago

the RSX being based on the 7800 is true, but it doesn't paint the whole picture...

a PS3 definitely CAN do things that a regular G78 equipped PC (assuming it also has a processor of that time period as well) could not...the Cell can handle sometimes 30-40% of actual rendering calculations (at least according to GG in numerous tech interviews; i'd take their word for it)...which is just overhead removed from the GPU entirely...

but that still does not mean a PS3 can keep up with the latest PC gpu's...not even close...

but the PS3's biggest weakness is not the cpu, or the gpu...its memory...same with the 360...both consoles should have had at least a gig...and PC's would not have become so blatantly better as quickly...
