It's only $10 bucks new at Best Buy right now, so I was gonna go get it. Is it really that bad on PS3? I wanted to get it on PS3 over 360, but I heard that it was way better on 360. What are the differences exactly?

When people talk about graphics king on consoles, they always mention the 360 version of Crysis 2 and make a point to exclude the PS3 version....

Right... and that's why Lens of Truth proves otherwise. 360>PS3. But only by a small degree. 360 runs at a higher FPS but with screen tearing and PS3 is V-sysnced with lower FPS drops. Pick your choice.

Isn't the PS3 version also displayed at a slightly lower resolution?

Barely.

The 360 runs at a res of 1152x720, Ps3 at 1024x720. But the Ps3 version has higher amounts of AF.

Neither have a crisp image because of the god awful AA technique used, and both have serious performance issues. Basically just get the version you want more.

I had both versions when they came out, the 360 version looked slighly better, but was only noticeable when I was changing input from 360 to ps3 to see if I could spot a difference. If you have a decent PC you should get it on that.

I got it on PS3. It's a sale of the day, a different game will be on sale tomorrow. It's on sale for PS3 and 360.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/searchpage.jsp?_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1&_dynSessConf=2690493392204387361&id=pcat17071&type=page&st=crysis+2&sc=Global&cp=1&nrp=15&sp=&qp=&list=n&iht=y&usc=All+Categories&ks=960

Edit: To anyone that shops at Best Buy a lot, I would recommend getting their video game yearly subscription. It's $15 bucks, and you get a year long subscription to their gaming magazine, 10% off used, 10% increase on trades, but here's the best part. Every magazine (monthly) has a page with Best Buy coupons on it, with a bunch of coupons for $20 dollars off select games. These coupons stack with store sales, so for example, I just picked up Catherine and Red Faction Armageddon for $10 dollars each because I used a $20 dollar coupon on each while they were on sale at $29.99. Each magazine also comes with a 30% off used game purchase, which stacks with your 10% for being a member, so 40% off total. The best part about this is that the employees at Best Buy are super lenient, so they allow me to use this same coupon as many times as I want to, so essentially I get any used game I buy for almost half off.

Ew. They're positioned badly and the grip doesn't dip in like the 360 pad. How anyone can prefer the Dualshock over the 360 pad is insane. :P

And Crysis 2 is a great game, although not as great as the original, imo. :) Definitely worth 10 bucks.

It was proven on Lens of Truth and a few other sites that the 360 version is better.

I'm about 2/3 through it and I'm finding it a chore to finish.

Once the aliens showed up it's been all downhill monotony for me.

The differences are minor at best. But I have played the PS3 version and it is great. Not a problem at all.

Crysis 2. In the first one the aliens at least were like aliens, in 2 they're just like boring halo style super soldiers.

I didn't like Crysis 2 as much as Crysis...it was rather boring and a chore to play after a while.

You technically have choices in how you will play, but I used Stealth and Armor for my playthroughs when all was said and done. I got C2 on 360, and then I played it again on PS3 just to see what the big deal was. There wasn't even a big deal. The game was decent to okay looking, but it wasn't as mindblowing as other games, honestly. It was subresolution in fact, and just eh... It was hard to play Crysis on PC and play Crysis 2 on 360, it just was a step down, honestly. Try Going from Crysis 1 on PC with a decent Graphics Card running at 60 frames per second, or even 30...I don't know why anyone in SW got so HYPEd by the game honestly. Crysis 2 was forgettable, but for $10 the TC is getting a deal I suppose.

Best 360 game I played and bought this year was GeoW3, but I waited an extra year for it...luckily I was in the Beta and Played Halo Reach from time to time while waiting since I'm a fan of the series MP + friends.


Oh, and the Crysis 2 online was janky, don't bother with it, so many better MP games out now.

360 version is a slightly higher resolution and holds a steadier framrate the majority of the time although the Ps3 framrate holds up better when things get realy hectic, thats about it really.

I found the latter half of Crysis 2 awesome fun. The aliens in Crysis 2 were much more fun to fight than the aliens from Crysis 1.

Infact, in Crysis 2, the aliens were alot more fun to fight than the soldiers, but in Crysis 1 the koreans were more fun to fight than the aliens. Odd. :P

Both are low res sub HD games, blurry mess, jaggies, unplayable framerate, severe pop ins and did I mention lame MP? But for 10 bucks I would get it for the hell of it on either system.

Crysis 2 PS3

http://uk.ps3.ign.com/articles/115/1156500p2.html

8.5 Graphics
Crysis 2 looks great on PS3, but a worse framerate, lower resolution, and missing effects compared to the 360 release hurt it. PS3 owners expect more.

Crysis 2 360

http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/115/1156446p2.html

9.5 Graphics
Crysis 2 on Xbox 360 has taken the crown for best graphics in a console game. It's well animated and the effects are great, but light is always the star of the show.

Xbox has a far superior GPU and design, thus the best games like Skyrim, RDR, Crysis 1-2, Dark Souls etc look much better than on PS3

So, it is much better looking on 360
