c3ntury Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 It will look the best on the PC in my opinion.. plus there will be more mods for that platform and potentially better graphics when played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max_Payne_UK Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Too bad they're dumbing Crysis 2 down for the console crowd I thought that they were cutting things from the PC version so it could fall in line with the console version? Or are you referring to graphics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George P Global Moderator Posted April 16, 2010 Global Moderator Share Posted April 16, 2010 Wow, reading this thread has been a ride. It's hard to counter technical facts about what a games engine is doing vs peoples own opinion of what looks good. Subjective vs Objective, they should never go head to head or you'll just end up going around in circles. That said, I still believe, objectively, that if you compare two games and on the technical marrits one is doing more, bigger levels, more enemies on screen, more "real" dynamic lighting and effects, physics etc etc, compared to the other, then it "wins", graphics wise. Now if you want to talk which artstyle you like more, that's kinda different. Anyways, guys, there is a crysis 2/cryEngine video out that shows all the fancy (and very cool) effects they're doing, on ALL 3 systems. PC/360/PS3, side by side as well. Take a look, you should also check out the new dynamic lighting effects they have going on, it's the video with the flags (textures on and off so you actually see the dynamic lighting move accross the room). Watching these you get a very good idea of the technical level of what's really going on in the engine. Maybe I can hunt them down. *Edit* here's one of them. This should be a good indication of what to expect imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedon Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Get used to it in the GH, the MS zealots spoil so much of this forum by trashing anything positive about Sony/Nintendo. Shame really, as there's a good MS/360 userbase here, just some members who can't stand to see anything positive posted about a console they have bowel moving rage for. How anyone can hate a piece of plastic/metal/wiring and chips so much is beyond my understanding. Who are these MS zealots. Looking at all the replies, I see gamers and multiconsole owners just sharing their opinions and having discussions. Why does it come down to MS or PS zealots, or MS/360 user base? Who is on this MS/360 user base list you speak of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max_Payne_UK Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I have no idea of the history between any of you and I don't want too either :) but I think that you all make valid points, most of the time - why you can't see that is beyond me. Instead you go for each others throats in a c**k waving style competition. If you don't like it, don't respond. Surely that's the best way forward?

This nonsense is ruining what is otherwise a great community (from what I've seen in my short stay here) Trying to make peace or trying to reason with us in here, won't work; been done a million times now. What you are asking some of core members in the Gamer's Hangout is to walk away from a discussion, from sharing our opinion and trying to disprove / debunk other opinions or question them and their motives all of which is the sole reason we're here in the first place. Some core members would like to believe they are the innocence themselves and they never do anything wrong but we're all in the thick of it, every. single. time. So this is who we are, this is how Gamer's Hangout have been running for the past few years and unless members are being banned, it won't change. Although, a few times in the past we've been trying to discuss what's going on and perhaps come up with a solution, the threads are always closed or cleaned.

Spookie Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Instead you go for each others throats in a c**k waving style competition. Should really be the tag line for GH really. :F I'm half with AB here. There are some people who will, at any chance, bash news which makes any other platform which makes the 360 look less superior. But if we banned everyone with a persecution complex, this forum would be empty in a week! /offtopic I'm not surprised the PS3 might be able to garner a little more performance out of the engine if it's anything like the PC version it'll nob the 360's CPU.
