When will Crysis be beat? (graphic-wise)

There's Little Big Planet (yes a PS3 game), Far Cry 2, and Project Offset coming up in the future.

Those 3 look incredible but still not as good as Crysis which has been out for a long time already.

Is there any other games I don't know about? Any tech-demo at all showing a game more impressive looking than Crysis or any games known to be in devlopment that are supposed to look better?

I honestly dont think a game will have better graphics then Crysis for at least a few years.

But the closest in my opinion will be the new STALKER game, it looks really beautiful

HA.....FarCry2 has already done that.Kuyt19

It doesn't look any more impressive image per image from and it lags in every video I've ever seen.

Can you be a little more in depth about that.

HA.....FarCry2 has already done that.Kuyt19

Is this a joke or something?

Farcry2 doesnt look nearly as amazing as Crysis imo

STALKER: Clear Sky and Far Cry 2 are two shooters that may compete graphically with Crysis.

Alan Wake and Heavy Rain are two games that may compete graphically with Crysis.

By the way, you're comparing LBP to Crysis?LMAO.Kuyt19

Is it really that silly? You're the one making a mockery of Crysis saying FarCry 2 is already a better looking game without giving any reason behind it.

Far Cry 2 may, but I've heard both that the max PC settings will be the same quality as on the consoles, and that it's the other way around, that the game will have higher quality visuals on the PC than on the consoles. If the former is true, no way it will surpass Crysis; if the latter, it's, well, it's possible. It would have to look even better than what we saw in the pre-alpha build (which was close to Crysis, but not quite there).

Same deal with Project Offset, if the visuals for the PC end up being toned down to match that of the console versions, no way it will look better. If the PC retains all the technological prowess we've seen in videos of the game so far and then some, I think it stands a pretty good chance of outdoing Crysis.

Alan Wake definitely won't look as good. I've seen too many parts of the game already that looked rather subpar, and those aspects in Wake that are (well, were) a bit impressive still are beaten in Crysis.

Little Big Planet? Don't make me laugh.

To be honest, my prediction is that Far Cry 2 will not be as beautiful whether it looks better on the PC than on the consoles or not, and Project offset will be just a touch behind Crysis. The only future game we currently know about I'm certain will look better is Crysis 2 (if Crytek is smart, that is, and doesn't lower the quality of the PC version's visuals to be in line with the consoles).

^Pretty sure Project Offset is a PC exclusive or if on consoles it'll be ported after they release it on PC.

I agree with you on Alan Wake. Looks awsome, high-end absolutely, but not competitive enough to have a shot at taking down Crysis. They've been showing it off for so long too. Just get it out.

I still don't think FarCry 2 looks better. Especially with the custom Crysis configs, TOD, texture repacks, ect. Really giving Crysis an extra edge.

Guess I'm crazy about LBP.

Never thought Staulker looked that good, even the new one. Maybe it's just the art-style.

Was Doom 3 ever beat graphics-wise?

That's your answer.

I'm pretty sure Doom 4 will beat it, id = nice looking engines. I seriously doubt that any multiplat game will manage to beat Crysis this year (except maybe the new Stalker, the tech demo video was impressive nad it is a PC exclusive), unless the developers really put some work into the scaling of the engine.

Anyway, the gfx can stay at this level for a little while longer. Evolution is cool and all that, I just want to see other aspects of games get some love instead. Like an original story and unique gameplay.

I really loved Crysis, but I'd love to see a game dethrone it as graphics king. It's always a pleasure to see games with graphics that are crisp and a visual treat to the eyes.

Far Cry 2 sure looks like it.

none of the games the op mentioned will have better graphics than crysis, i believe. only stalker: clear sky will - if you don't believe me, go watch the hd trailers at gametrailers.comfireandcloud

I've seen 'em. Very impressive, very, but still doesn't measure up to Crysis.

**** gamespot is glitchy as ****!!!1 What I'm trying to say is.......Farcry 2 doesn't look as good as Crysis.

It has been beat already in my book. I find Mass Effect to be a better looking game then Crysis. Sure Cryengine 2 is graphically superior then Unreal Engine 3 but on developer use Bioware really nailed it on this one. Mass Effect is a stunning looking game and imo the best looking game I've experience thus far.OoSuperMarioO

I refuse to believe you just said that as it would annoy me so much that I'd have to say something mean so I'm going to convince myself you are joking and exit this thread.

For Sure : Crytek's own projects

Not Sure but potential: far cry 2, heavy rain, project origin, alan wake.

after 2008/9 i think Crysis will be easily beaten.

i guess it comes down to whether you take an artistic or technical view at games graphics, like you said, crysis had a very poor art style, however technically it was impressive, whereas games like TF2 are running on an old engine and so wont have as high res textures etc etc, but i love TF2's art style so much

While I disagree that ME is technically up there with Crysis, I do agree on one thing: faces and animations when people talk are much better in the first title. In fact, they are the best I've ever seen in a game.

I still haven't played the PC version (I want to :cry: ), so I could be wrong of course, maybe they added a lot of high res textures to the surrounding world, but I doubt that they did.

eventually, it is inevitable...

But I dont think many developers will make games as graphic intensive as that for a long time because it results in a smaller target market...

[QUOTE="Kuyt19"]HA.....FarCry2 has already done that.Toriko42

On the Farcry 2 specific boards everyone is arguing which is better.

wasnt the crysis engine based on the far cry engine?? correct me if im wrongnish2280

yea, the crysis engine is called the cryengine2.

Alan wake will be more playable no doubt.

Farcry 2 sorry this game with its console focus will be a pile of poof compared to crysis. Oh and its ubisoft. So forget it.

Project offset. Probably the biggest hope because of intels ownership. Intel are not in the game to improve console sales now are they?

I've seen 'em. Very impressive, very, but still doesn't measure up to Crysis.

hmm... i thought it looked better than crysis. but i guess we'll see soon enough. august isn't that far away. wow, i can't believe it'll be released in less than three months (if it doesn't get delayed). it seems strange that they're not releasing much information or screenshots or videos to get us more excited. there's been more stupid clips of far cry 2 in the last month than anything from stalker since its inception.

So did I. The weather effects are awesome. There's more to graphics than high res textures. Dynamic lightning (like in night and day cycle, clouds, sunrays, lightning and so on), realistic smoke and rain are just as, if not more important. The atmosphere in the DX10 demo is unbelievable.

As for why there is not much hype surrounding Stalker. Well, they don't **** money like Ubi does.

I'm pretty sure Doom 4 will beat it, id = nice looking engines.

2009, Mafia 2 will beat crysis graphics wise.Danili0

Crysis already has better textures and models, and in terms of effets - that's yet to be seen since we haven't seen any HD gameplay videos or played the game ourselves, but I doubt they'll conquer the Crysis challenge.
