On Ps3 I've never seen better graphics online. But SP wise it gets beat by a bunch of games

Gears 3 is currently the universal graphics king.

:lol: not even the best on the 360 ...

Like you would know. It looks way better than UC3. In fact, I've read that UC3 looks worse than 2.

Just installed this on 360 including HD pack and Ihave just finishedthe Air Mission section, so I can only comment until this point. Crysis 2 at night is far superior to the BF3 night section so its not universal graphic king in my opinion. Gears 3 and Crysis 2 look better on 360 to be honest. I have seen some direct feed footage on PC and it looks mighty impressive on that format.

I still think Crysis (1) tops it graphically, but it's a little unfair to compare graphics of a SP-focused game versus a MP-focused game.KHAndAnime

Ive just been playing Crysis 1 with a few mods and im really not sure which game looks better. Imo I think BF might just beat it, its a tough call.

its definatly a contender on the pc version im playing it on a phenon II 955 8 gig ddr 3 and a 5850 1gb, im using 1920x1200 thats 1200p for console guys :)

every thing set to high with 16x af and im getting rapid smooth fps dont know how much exactly but it feels perfect, i can whack stuff up to ultra settings but then it feels a bit low fps, so i leave it on every thing high.

oh the foilage in crysis is better up close but every thing else is pretty close lol

screw you dice my pc was ready for you this time lol when bf2 launched i had a crappy 5900xt fx and a gig of ram damn it sucked lol

Yeah the rocks arent that great in Crysis. BF has some very nice, sharp looking indoor sections that remind me of Mirrors Edge. :cool:

The weapons certainly look better in BF. I can see a lot more detail.

gotta admit though i spent some time earlier getting side tracked just looking at the rocks next to a river and it looked sweet as feck :)

just a bit dissapointed that it is more like bad company 3 rather than a battlefield 3, eg no stamina bar and every thing feels a bit arcadey like veichile regen etc

I just took this in Crysis. I have modded textures and modded rocks and the game is on max settings! They certainly arnt great. I average about 30-40fps in Crysis, yet in BF I get a consistant 54-60fps.

BF3 is more optimized, I run it better than Crysis as well.

It's best on PC, but it's not best on 360 or PS3. On 360 the best looking game is Gears 3, on PS3 the best looking game is Uncharted 3.

Technically or artistically? Technically, BF3 looks AMAZING, artistically BF3 looks like the average generic military shooter.

There is no game that is the best looking on every platform it's on, at least not this gen. A good question would be what multiplat is still one of the best looking on every platform it's on. I'd say Crysis 2 is probably more deserving of that tile than Battlefield 3.

Agreed. Too much contrast + too much lens flare. Add that to the bland environments and it's a mediocre game artistically, imo.

It's best technically, but art goes to Witcher 2/Uncharted 3.

ITT :

People who judge graphics based solely on visuals or how vibrant a game looks.

rasengan2552

When people post screenshots and tell you a certain game looks good, why would people judge based on anything else besides its visuals? :|

Pfft not even close. UC3 has crappy textures and way too much blur.

Battlefield 3 is king, nothing comes close except The Witcher 2 :D

Nowhere near the quality graphics on ps3 as uncharted 2 and 3 have. Or killzone 3 for that matter.

"universal" must include all three major platforms

Or the twenty other games that actually have good artstyles and put Crysis 2 to shame. Crysis 2 looks like Tcon 2 in HD.

Just PC graphics king, though not a huge step up like Crysis was.SaltyMeatballs
don't think we'll get to see leaps that big anymore. from where games are to where top-level CGI is, there's obviously a difference, but i don't think it's nearly as big as the graphics leap from the past gen to the current one, at least not in shock-value.

Battlefield 3 wins. Why?....it actually has good rocks :P

Yeah the rocks arent that great in Crysis. BF has some very nice, sharp looking indoor sections that remind me of Mirrors Edge. :cool:

The weapons certainly look better in BF. I can see a lot more detail.

I agree, the rocks are bad in Crysis. But the foliage, water, models, and various physics and explosion effects far surpass Battlefield 3's. Even playing just Vanilla. With mods, it's no contest.

Crysis generally has better foliage and water easily looks better. But the explosive and particle effects are definitely much, much better in BF3.

Models are a tie:
