thats right i said it, Farcry 2 has equeled Crysis graphically if not surpassed it in some areas. it has a better lighting system, better physics engine, its more destructable and its coming to the XBOX 360 and Playstation 3. if this game is not downgraded on consoles will hermits admit that Crysis was possible on consoles all along. thanks to new compression technology they can fit much more vegetation on screen than befor without using much memory, and the 360 and PS3 have more than enough cpu and GPU muscle to handle the engine.

I agree man Far Cry 2 is an amazing looking game. I think Crysis still might edge it out in it's character models but Far Cry 2 has amazing technology behind it. I'm tired of the hermits who come to system wars stating a game like Crysis isn't possible on consoles, it clearly is with the right optimization to the software.

I personally think it does. Maybe it does not look better at face value, but damn, just every feature they're doing in that game makes for a much more fulfilling experience.

I agree. Sure Crysis has pretty textures and lighting, but as anyone who has played Stalker can tell you, effects like weather, wind, wild animals etc. add a level of realism and atmosphere that you could never achieve by bumping up the polygon count.

I think it looks just as good. But congrats you compared the PC version against PC game(note remember Farcry 2 was PC exclusive for the majority of it's development cycle so far that's why they have pushed the visuals that far). Compare Xbox version against PC version then compare xbox version against crysis.

ok so if it doesn't look as good on consoles what about the PC version u cant deny tht it looks good and is an unfinished game, and from what i hear Crysis was not well optimised even top of the line hardware struggles to run it at max settings above 1080

Looks great but I sincerely doubt it will look like that on consoles. If it does then who cares, everyone gets to enjoy it. However, if you're banking on it turning out like that I think maybe you should consider a little more of a reserved opinion when it comes to gaming.

To the guy above me: I'm glad we have your first hand knowledge of Crysis to explain things to us. Don't you get tired of hyping graphics on consoles and then being disappointed. Do yourself a favor, when you see a video of a game don't expect it to look like that, unless it's the actual game someone has purchased.

Yep. Not sure if those type of features are even more taxing than textures which usually are just RAM-eaters. But the lighting in Far Cry 2 looks damn awesome. So are the physics, as seen by the fire and vegetation. And the dynamic weather..... Phew. I thought Crysis might have beaten my PC to pulp. This game might just kill it off.

But effects like weather, wind and wild animals have been done before, and technically not difficult to do by today's standards. Nobody has ever made a forest setting to the level of realism of Crysis, specifically because a very realistic forest will have too high a polygon count for most PCs, and based on the way Crysis performs, it apprently still is.

Errm....the vegetation physics? I haven't tried, but can you start a fire in Crysis? I haven't heard or seen any such thing. In Far Cry 2 you can. And I'm pretty sure it spreads intelligently. Does Crysis have that pixel accuracy on the level of Far Cry 2? The way the guy was demonstrating shooting vegetation at GDC was even more precise than what I tried when I played Crysis. In that respect, I think I've seen enough to suggest that Far Cry 2 may be on an even bigger scale than Crysis in terms of destructibility. I mean, if the weather can truly affect flimsy stuff, there may be non-user created destruction. And this is all happening on one giant map, as opposed to smaller maps a la Crysis. I really don't know why hermits are trying to downplay Far Cry 2. Maybe it's because it's been announced for consoles too, whereas Crysis hasn't. So there's the mentality that Crysis should be superior. Perhaps swallowing pride and looking at it from a different angle may be more beneficial in the long term, because I doubt Far Cry 2 is going to be that fully-featured when it comes to consoles. I think what they're showing is reserved for the most high-end PCs.

You think technology, once realized, remains at a stand still? If that's the case, why is A.I constantly improving in FPSes? If you can give me an example of a game, in which you can shoot off a branch with precise pixel accuracy, and then see it get blown away by the wind in a realistic fashion (i.e, calculating the mass and weight of the object, because the rooted trees don't get swept away), then I will stand corrected. If not..... Well, that's up to you.

It doesn't look anywhere near as good as Crysis. Dunia's greatest assets are gameplay-enchancing features, not the graphical quality.

That's running on a PC with 8800's, the console versions are coming at a later date and will NOT look anything like that. From what I've seen, CryEngine 2 is capable of much more, although the shadow and lighting effect look fantastic, it's not Crysis.

The good news is, an 8800GT is less than $250 bucks, and it should easily be able to play this game and every other game out there with ease.

You consolites must enjoy being on the ignorant side of things. Ubisoft has already stated while the game is coming to the PS3/360 that the consoles versions will not look close to the PC version of the game. I'm sure it will look good for a console game, but you are fooling yourself if you think it will look like the trailers of the PC version. But I guess being a console fanboy is about fooling yourself and believing your console is capable of great things if the devs "unlock the power".

no my friend u are the one in denial in thinking this game doesn't look anywhere close to Crysis, maybe im looking at different pics and video than you, or maybe u are on the high horse that is crysis and cant admit this looks just as good, or maybe it;s because its coming to consoles, either way its not even a finished game and already looks this good.

UT3 only runs at 30fps on console, I can run it at 1600x1200 max everything at 120+ fps. Now at 1600x1200 at high full AF i cant break 40fps on crysis and my rigs a beast (see blog). You wont see crysis anywhere near the beauty of pc on console this gen if it come to them, so sweet days to ya. Also if its even close to that on console then it will be quite a feat but i doubt it. I'm still looking forward to the game though :)

Define "graphical quality". Is that only textures and polygons? Does it omit weather effects and all sorts of world physics, which are indirectly visually engaging? Because if there was only one thing that Crysis has over Far Cry 2 from what I'm seeing, is that it has superior textures, and probably pushes more polygons, though we haven't seen many character models in Far Cry 2. The TC posted some pics of Far Cry 2 which do look visually impressive, and the game doesn't shine in stills as it does in motion, because of these 'gameplay-enhancing features'. I'm a huge texture whore myself (and if you know of any Vampire Bloodline texture mods, please, let me know), but that's all I really see Crysis having the upper hand in. When Jester's face pops up at you in the beginning cutscene, the most jaw-dropping thing is the incredibly high-resolution textures he's fitted with. To me Crysis is like that beautiful high-resolution SLR photograph. It's stunning to look at, but it doesn't do much. And Far Cry 2 is that movie shot on the latest and great digital video footage. The resolution is not as crisp, and it may look worse given in certain situations (because DV produces a lot of noise/grain at night sequences), but overall, it's a much more marvelous thing to look at.

I think Crysis looks better, and theres a chance that Far Cry 2 won't look as good as the videos when its is release

Plus Far Cry 2 looks much more empty, but I will keep an open mind about it

Define "graphical quality". Is that only textures and polygons? Does it omit weather effects and all sorts of world physics, which are indirectly visually engaging? Because if there was only one thing that Crysis has over Far Cry 2 from what I'm seeing, is that it has superior textures, and probably pushes more polygons, though we haven't seen many character models in Far Cry 2. The TC posted some pics of Far Cry 2 which do look visually impressive, and the game doesn't shine in stills as it does in motion, because of these 'gameplay-enhancing features'. I'm a huge texture whore myself (and if you know of any Vampire Bloodline texture mods, please, let me know), but that's all I really see Crysis having the upper hand in. When Jester's face pops up at you in the beginning cutscene, the most jaw-dropping thing is the incredibly high-resolution textures he's fitted with. To me Crysis is like that beautiful high-resolution SLR photograph. It's stunning to look at, but it doesn't do much. And Far Cry 2 is that movie shot on the latest and great digital video footage. The resolution is not as crisp, and it may look worse given in certain situations (because DV produces a lot of noise/grain at night sequences), but overall, it's a much more marvelous thing to look at.

Well..Crysis has better textures, models, much better shaders and more densenly filled levels. It makes it look far more realistic, not just because of details themselves, but especialy because of density of objects on levels, coupled with better animation (from what was show so far)

If I had to use the photograph analogy..Crysis is like a photograph of real-place, FC2 is like a cartoon movie, not looking like reality, but unlike Crysis it moves

I think the better question is who cares? In the end of the day does it really matter if Farcry 2 looks better then Crysis? Even when it most likely will be minscule at best..

No its defitnaly not as good looking as Crysis.

And no we dont even know what the console version will be like of Far Cry 2.

And no Crysis is not possible on consoles.

Why do I have to repeat myself, directed at the same users again and again and again.

No offence but to everyone who says Far Cry 2 looks anywhere near Crysis is blind or hasnt played Crysis.

The Far Cry 2 player model/gun model alone should tlel you its nowhere near... all you are looking at there is slightly better than average vegetation.

I mean .. my god its nowhere near.

The weather effects are impressive however ... I wish Crysis had done rain, I honestly dont see anything AMAZING about this... the weather, thats about it.

thats right i said it, Farcry 2 has equeled Crysis graphically if not surpassed it in some areas. it has a better lighting system, better physics engine, its more destructable and its coming to the XBOX 360 and Playstation 3. if this game is not downgraded on consoles will hermits admit that Crysis was possible on consoles all along. thanks to new compression technology they can fit much more vegetation on screen than befor without using much memory, and the 360 and PS3 have more than enough cpu and GPU muscle to handle the engine.

please elaborate on how this doesn't look close to Crysis?

do you actually think the game will look anything like that on a console?

and no....it deffinetly doesnt look as good as crysis.

let me remind you what Crysis looks like in case you have forgotten.

and I have seen nothing to sugest that farcry 2 will be more destructable...or that it will look anything like that on a console.

easily countered without cherrypicking

last time i checked you couldn't burn the grass in crysis, or shoot off individual leaves and branches of trees.

1. Yes you can shoot individual branches of trees in Crysis. And leaves.

2. Crysis has been released. Far Cry 2 hasent. We dont know how great it REALLY looks until we play it ourselves.

3. We dont even know how it will look or play on consoles - every screen and tech demo has been on PC.

Your first 3 points.

Prove them.

You cant?

Surprise surprise.

Crysis possible on consoles - even Crytek disagrees with you.

Prove it.

You cant?

Surprise Surprise.

ITs as if you desperatley want a game that is of Crysis level on consoles, and will scream every second a game seems to come close.

Even convincing yourself the 360 or PS3 can run Crysis is a laughable stance.

Looks amazing.. i dunno if it were on PC/PS3/or 360 but i can imagine it will look great on all three.

However, Far Cry 2 and Crysis are very different.

Crysis is in the jungle and has way MORE vegetation than Farcry 2.. which requires alot of RAM

typical hermit cant see past his computer moniter, as i have already said the weather system is more advanced, vegetation is burnable moving realistically with the wind, actual tree branches are destructable and almost every leaf, and the lighting effects look better imo no way to really convince you.

surprise surprise what are u 10? lol

Do you have proof that it will all look like that when it is release?
