Crysis 2 360 vs PS3....

Will this title be the ulitmate decider as to which system is more powerful?

From the tech demoes i have seen 360 is the winner thus far.

They will doubtlessly be similar.

There we go again...

"Will this title be the ultimate decider as to which system is more powerful?"

Um... an unequivocal NO.

Just like all multi-platform games (More even more so with Crysis)... It will be built for PC, code-4-code migrated to XBox... and then a half-baked port made for PS3 just to pick up a little extra revenue on the side.

Now... If they scrapped XBox and PC and just made it for PS3... It would look better then anything on XBox 360... Ergo U2, KZ2, MGS4...

If you continue to use multiplat games as your justification for choosing a console - XBox360 is without a doubt the Numero-Uno choice because its simply more cost effective to develop that way... It is by no means because "Its more powerful dude"

Too bad Crytek already said the engine runs better on PS3.

They will doubtlessly be similar.

how come cows all of a sudden think graphics are what makes a system great. Did any of you actually own a PS2??? Xbox was clearly the more powerful system and the PS2 was 100 times more successful with a gaming library that trumped the xbox.

And this gen it's the PS3 whose graphics and game library trumps the 360.

Thats not what I was getting at. I'm just reminding some people on here that just because the PS3 supposedly has better graphical capabilities than the xbox, it doesn't mean its the better system as proven by the success of the PS2.

Haze was made by Free Radical before they became Crytek UK. Also, Crysis 2 is being made mostly by Crytek's base team. Crytek UK is only helping out.

Obviously the PC version will destroy the console version. That should be common knowledge.

Fanboys know it, they just won't admit it because it makes their chosen system look bad.

Absolutely will look better on PC... But it will also need more re-installs, have more freeze ups, and require a reboot every 3hrs on PC.

If it uses the PS3 hard drive install they should both be close.

Yeah, if you're trying to run it on a PC from 2003.

Actually I would hope that if you were running a 2003 PC its OS would be so highly patched and its hardware drivers so refinned that the game would be extremely stable... Graphics would be woeful 4 sure... But it would keep playin and playin ;)

Not if you have a halfway decent computer which you take care of... I never get any freeze-ups, in any game.

Me and all my PC only gaming friends envy you... You truely are unique or lucky... or in denial.

Actually - I really am not in a place to comment. I havent played any PC games during the last 18 months so maybe things have improved... But they never did throughout the other 10yrs playing PC games.

Unique or lucky in what way? Seriously, I never have problems, as I look after my PC. It's only used strictly for gaming also, which helps.

Maybe you just suck as a pc gamer, because freeze ups/crashes/whatever, are not the norm if you have a properly running PC.

Captain__Tripps

Maybe I do.. But I have a lot of experience playing PC games and I'm also a software architect for windows platform applications. I got a pretty good grasp of debugging and configuring computers.

But yea maybe I've just have bad luck or had too much other garbage on my PC when I should have just had a PC for games and a PC for work, etc... But if thats the case... I'll just have a console thanks.

The dev says it when he is showing us the engine. This is old news now.POPEYE1716

"It's been tricky, but we've got a strong PS3 engine with all the major systems running on SPUs. With middleware, what you want is for someone else to do all that so the developer can just concentrate on making games. We have parity between the platforms now: both run at the same speed ... If the game's shader-heavy it runs a bit faster on 360; if it's compute-heavy with physics and particles, then the SPUs take over and it's a bit quicker on PS3."Crytek

you either had a software problem (virus/malware/too much crap open), underpowered system, or maybe failing hardware.

Captain__Tripps

Man - U have summed it up exactly. Without doubt it was always one of the issues above...

I never have to deal with any of it on my ps3 (So far :(), but I do lose out cheaper games, more games (Not necessarily better though :D), and WAY better visuals.

I'm not a cow or troll - really i'm not - just make decisions on what gives me more time to relax and enjoy.

Maybe its because I spend too much time at a PC... Thats why I like to just sit at the TV and game on.

Why is a multi-plat game supposed to decide which console has better graphics? I don't get it?

Of course, the possible answers are obvious: For one, very few of today's SW posters were here several years ago and even fewer Fanboys have survived that long. Overwhelmingly you are dealing with new faces. Also, there's no guarantee that people who owned a particular system last gen felt obligated to buy only from that company again. Of course, processing power and graphics don't guarantee sales. I don't see anyone on here saying they do...

If Cytrek is speaking the truth, it said Crysis 2 will push the PS3 to its limit exceeding all current PS3 games including U2, then we shall expect the PS3 is shine far more than the x360.

Free Radical are now owned by Crytek, however.
