Why dopeople say the 360 version of Crysis 2 "FAAAAAR" eclipses the PS3 version?
It drops below 15 FPS at times, bad framerates, constant pop-in, inconsistent graphics, and gets outperformed by the PS3 version in most areas.
Crytek managed to make Crysis 2 ideantical on both platforms.

This is absolutely false and I'm just amazed that you or any other cow would try to spread this lie to suit their own needs. It is the 360 version that outperforms the ps3 version in MOST areas.... NOT the other way around.
Here is the quote from Digital Foundry that have cows excited and running with it to suit their needs....
From Digital Foudry:
"when frame-rate does crash in those affected areas, it's actually Crysis 2 on PS3 that holds up better."
BUT Digital Foundry also said:
"Put simply, on certain stages, frame-rate varies rather drastically to the point where the game can feel almost unplayable. Thankfully these areas DON'T ACCOUNT FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE GAMEPLAY BY ANY STRETCH OF THE IMAGINATION"
AGAIN, "NOT BY ANY STRETCH OF THE IMAGINATION" — In other words they are isolated brief pockets in the game so why are cows pumping their chests out like they won the olympics?
It's funny people are not reading what DF said. This part is important. Meanwhile a majority of the game IS spent walking around and evaluating tactical options where the ps3 suffers compared to the 360. So cows cannot spin this. The framerate advantage goes to the 360.
….and even in those instances of frame crashes they occur on both consoles and are isolated pockets in specific areas. With these instances of frame-rate crashes it's a "pick your poison" scenario. Again from digital foundry-- " In these situations, it seems that it is the Xbox 360 version that has the most difficulties, though there's no mistaking that both platforms seem to lag badly in much the same areas.
Again it's a "pick your poison" scenario. It's like saying if you're outside in "below freezing" temperatures you get hypothermia in 20 minutes if you jump in the ps3 pool while you will get hypothermia in 15 minutes if you jump in the 360 pool. You get the idea. That's the kind of insignificant difference that cows are hanging onto. Point is you're ****** either way. Point being there is nothing for cows to celebrate here with regard to these frame crashes. So to conclude about these frame rate crashes: They are barely, barely part of the gameplay as they are brief isolated pockets. They"don't acount for the majority of the gameplay by any stretch of the imagination"- Digital Foundry. Hardly anything for cows to get excited about.
More from Digital Foundry:
"There's little doubt that the Xbox 360 is the cleaner, crisper experience and for the most part it commands a small but significant frame-rate advantage and fewer little glitches"
"On balance, 360 has the edge in terms of visuals and general performance, but PS3 more than holds its own, bettering the Microsoft platform in some areas."
From IQGamer:
"While the results aren't pretty; both versions are at times very close. It's not always the case that one has a distinct advantage over the other, and both have various ups and downs with regards to keeping that 30fps but in different scenarios. ALTHOUGH, IT'S OFTEN THE PS3 VERSION THAT FALLS SHORT MORE THAN THE 360″
"As to which one you should pick up. Well, it's fair to say that both versions come recommended, BUT PERHAPS THE 360 BUILD EDGES IT EVER SO SLIGHTLY WITH MILDLY BETTER IMAGE QUALITY AND A SMOOTHER FRAME-RATE."
All of these comments put togetherDO NOTpoint to a tie. The 360 is the better version.
To conclude: The 360 version has overall a better resolution/image quality and better framerate. End of discussion.
