Crysis Warhead could be surpassed on consoles. This isnt a PC diss!

[QUOTE="gaming25"][QUOTE="-Tretiak"]

No. Consoles simply don't have enough memory.

Crysis 2 on PC (among others) use more than 256 ram dont they? Why is it that Killzone 3 looks better than those?

All joking aside, they always say stuff like this, where they claim to have maxed out the potential of todays consoles, only to have another game look leaps above the previous ones. I remember reading a article about the Sega Genesis, before it was released, where the dev stated that the consoles will never surpass that of 16bit? He said that was as high as it was going to go. Boy was he mistaken.

i just wonder, if you need a gtx 460 to max out crysis 2 on pc, and you need a gtx 460 to max out crysis 1 & warhead.

and the xbox360 and pc version looks the same. Why wouldn't they be able to run crysis warhead or crysis 1 on thex360 then?

or the xbox360 and pc version don't look the same? because i think the orinal poster said that they look the same

Does it really look that good,I mean fable II, fallout 3,call of duty looks good too imo on console but they just look so much better on pc (well fable II isn't on pc but you get the picture).

I know one thing , they have released crysis 1 in 2007. If they could port it to consoles i think they would have done it, a port must still be easier than making a whole new game.

Sometimes many devs dont want to do ports because that means doing the same game again and thats understandable. Im satisfied with Crysis 2 :D

You don't have the knowledge to understand that concept if you're making claims like that. "Maxing out the potential" and having another game look better are unrelated concepts.

A GTX460 can't max out Crysis...... Well, it sort of can if you don't mind playing at 20 fps with dips.

Huh? My dual 8800GT's I average 48 fps in Crysis maxed (besides AA) at 1680x1050 and a GTX 460 is faster then my gpu's.

Killzone 3 does not look better than Crysis 2 on PC, and Killzone 3 doesn't have even close to the scale or have to render as much. That's why.

You're right if you play at 1080p with 4xAA on max settings you won't get more than 20fps and expect the end boss to be a slideshow lol.

Maybe not a lot of people know this but crysis and crysis warhead uses built-in aa when it comes to foliage when you put post processing on high or very high. It's called edge aa. It does a lot more for the foliage than normal aa and it's a lot less taxing on the hardware. Normal aa does nothing for the foliage allthough it's better than edge aa for buildings , vehicles and stuff like that.
However it you enable normal aa, it automatically disables edge aa.

So a gtx 460 can outmax crysis at 1080p and get around30 fps or more, however if you enable aa to 4x it drops to int the twenties. If you want to enable 4x aa then you need ideed something stronger like a gtx 470 or even gtx 480.

I didn't actually compare these settings, i've read it somewhere and played it crysis like that with my hd 5770 on max and 1280 x 1024 (i play on a 4:3 screen). I still got some framrate drops with the end boss though. Still the difference between edge aa and 4x aa was around 10 fps.

I don't know how crysis 2 handles this but crysis 2 isn't about the foliage i think. Since they didn't release that dx11 patch yet and i can't find any bencmarks for this game (besides the multiplayer demo) i'm waiting to play this game , because i'm going to get a new card for this game i think (if i need too, we'll have to see about that)

Crysis maxed on a single 460 will dip you into flat 20 with or without AA at 1920*1080. If you think otherwise, you have a weird definition of maxed.

two of them however, will max the game with the ingame 16xAA at a somewhat stable 50.

Then again, I don't exactly have my Nvidia Control Panel in performance mode.

Edit: This might explain why so many people think Crysis 2 looks just as good or better though. Takes more than a little research to make Crysis look godly.

From what I've heard from some here; UC & KZ already done this plus GS thinks MGS4 > Warhead ?! :shock:

:P

Wasnt this said last year? Yet it looks like Battlefield 3 will set the bar again.
