Troll confirmed. Crytek already said Crysis 1 IS NOT POSSIBLE on the consoles, due to their limitations, And Stalker ugly? Bad story, bad gameplay and AI?

haha how many game developments have told that they're game can't be done on other platforms? pretty much every devolopment thats making exclusive game

I'm sure if it could be done on the consoles, Crytek would have ported it. Crysis uses over 1gig of RAM. Consoles only have 256mb lol.

I read that 360 has 512MB RAM, unless I'm told they share it with the GPU.

Think so. Still, even with 512mb of RAM, that isn't going to cut it. :P

You're talking about two completely seperate games (Crysis 1 and 2), designed completely differently. Logically, you cannot draw the conclusion that because Crysis 2 is coming to consoles, Crysis is fully capable of being ported.

Furthermore, was Crysis 2 ever announced as solely coming to the PC? As an exclusive? If not, how can it be considered a lost exclusive :?

Maybe if you ignore the fact that a console can do 5x as much with that as a pc sure.

512mb ram on a console is like having 1-2 gigs on the pc, thats how it always is, the ps2 only had 32mb of ram FFS.

New to SW? thats how it is, whatever console its announced for fits "loses" it as an exclusive even if it was never announced as one.

Oh, and i can guarantee 1000% crysis could be ported to consoles, as ANY game can be ported to ANYHTING.

1080P+ resolutions

60+ Frame Per Second

32x + Antialiasing

DX10 + DX11

As far as actually generations go yes. But in reality its like comparing a PS1 to a Dreamcast even though they were on the scene at the same time. Welfare gaming is well behind PC gaming from a technical standpoint.

All PC games are full of game breaking glitchs. I was playing Crysis like year ago fighting big boss in top of the ship, boss started glitching my game crashed and when i tryed to load my game it corrupted all my save datas o.O

Many games like Witcher, oblivion and fallout 3 were unplayable then they came out

You can't really release unfinished game on consoles but PC gamers are used to it LOL

Both have 512mb of ram and consoles use that ram much more effectively , You need about 1.5 gigs of ram on pc to run any of todays current console titles.

PC Gaming is held back foremost by consoles themselves. Microsoft dedicating so many resources into the Xbox Division instead of focusing on their own OS and thus platform continues to boggle me.

PC games from 2006, sure.

ducati101

Most pc games period . Why did it win best graphic awards in 2009 everywhere? You guys act like pc games come out every month that look better and thats simply not true.

The same reason MGS4 beat Crysis Warhead for best graphics. Do you honestly think MGS4 looks better than Warhead? Its a popularity contest more than anything. Lets say you have 6 editors at a gaming website, usually only 1 will be a PC gamer and the rest various console gamers. Now think how the voting will go.

crysis Warhead beat MGS4 on alot of websites just not here at gamespot. Why is everything a conspriacy theory to you and all other hemits that disargree with you . Its baffles me at this point .

While console gamers are playing their "graphics kings" in levels the size of Arma 2s tutorial maps, PC gamers are playing games at higher graphical fidelity with 4x the scale. :roll:

RDR looks better then alot of pc games and its massive.

You really are asking for it aren't you? Haven't you learned anything from your other posts?

Please tell me what there is to learn? Sorry you guys get so hurt when people disagree with you RDR looks great period.

It seems to me MS has continued to focus well at Windows and DirectX while at the same taking are of its own XBox division. There's been DX 8.0a, the 9.0's, 10, and 11 this decade.

Arma 2 tutorial map:

And if you're saying RDR looks better then Arma 2 then RDR must look better then GOW3, Killzone 2 and UC2 because Arma 2 owns them graphically.

WhenCicadasCry

You havent played any of the games you mentioned so why would we even listen to you>? And the funny thing is RDR just wont best graphcis at some korean game devlopers confrence a place where pc gaming dominates . And I didnt say it looked better then ALL pc games but it looks better then most and thats a fact.

I doubt you even own a gaming PC. UC2, GOW3 and RDR might be technical feats on the consoles, but a average PC wouldn't even break a sweat playing them, especially at 720p :lol:

I dont care what you doubt I run a GTX285 and I920 processor and 6gigs of ram if thats not a gaming pc then so be it. Did I ever say consoles were more powerful are that the games couldnt be done on the hardware? No . But the fact is you would need a hell of alot more specs to run any of those games then what the consoles are pushing .a 7 series of cards and 512 megs of ram wouldnt even start up a game like GOW3.

Yes pc hardware is more powerful but there is a select few games that demonstrate that and thats all im saying. You guys come in here and act like multiplats that basically share most of the same assets with consoles because they are in higher res look better then the best console games and I know for a fact that is simply not true. You guys should stop living in denial and demand more from your multipalts and then maybe you would truley get more games that are a generationa ahead. Instead you got hermits under this illusion that games like Batman:AA or Dragon Age on pc look better then ALL console games and I think its hillarious.

STALKER games were a generation behind in graphics, but definitely way past anything I've seen from any game in terms of gameplay. (cant really say a generation ahead in gameplay, as it doesnt really sound politically correct) i really wish more console gamers could be able to play those games so that they'd understandyellosnolvr

I wished games that are one generation behind to look like that…

Here some screenshots from my pc running stalker cs (with mod) with 1920x1200, 60fps.

Crytek said it's not possible without completely redesigning the game, so Crysis, IN IT'S CURRENT STATE ON THE PC would not be possible on the consoles. 1.5 gig of RAM to run console titles? :lol: Running multiplats at 720p medium settings only needs 1gig of RAM.

No, They ask for 1gb or 2gb because they include Window's memory footprint and most console ports (multiplatform) games barely use more then 512mb or even 1gb, Also the fact that developers dont have to cut things out or tone them down like the console versions. No matter how you twist it 512mb of memory is still 512mb of memory. Plus the fact the Consoles also do run a OS too taking up memory which means that their limited memory isnt 512mb usable for a game. Both consoles tend to split their resources to 256mb for system and 256mb for video memory which means no console can compare to Pc. abilites.

TheSterls

512mbs of shared RAM.

which means all of that ram is shared between the VRAM and RAM.

It doesn't use RAM any better than a PC it's just they cut back on things in their games.

Console games are heavily edited to sometimes lower settings in certain areas and then bump them back up when you are in a small corridor.

Instead you got hermits under this illusion that games like Batman:AA or Dragon Age on pc look better then ALL console games and I think its hillarious.

What you dont understand is that those console games go through a strainer to cut all what they can to make them work on that 6 year old hardware with limted memory. Havent you or anyone else noticed more and more console games getting fps dips, and studdering or major differences between SP and MP graphics? This is besause they keep on trying to sqeeze the hardware to the breaking limit trying to make games look better and in many ways dont really change anything. Look a the gears of war to 3 no real big changes, look at Killzone 2 vs 3 same engine no real big changes in graphics.

Each console game is tweaked to a point where its able to be used on that 512mb of memory and you know their settings or design in all sections are using all different ranges in quality in draw distances, texture quality, resolutions, level sizes, objects, etc. Pc versions of those games dont get that custom tweaking and get a few presets of graphics qualitys like low medium and high. Another thing is that multiplatform games are designed for the lowest common denominator which are the consoles and have been for years which sets the base line of graphics. Your not going to see night and day differences between most multiplat games besides the higher resolutions and filtering and some better texture quality and other effects. But those differences can make a game better looking which gives it a better appeal then a blurry looking version of the game.There are some multiplat games that show when Pc hardware is used the right way the differences can be large.

[QUOTE="ducati101"][QUOTE="TheSterls"]

Most pc games period . Why did it win best graphic awards in 2009 everywhere? You guys act like pc games come out every month that look better and thats simply not true.

TheSterls

The same reason MGS4 beat Crysis Warhead for best graphics. Do you honestly think MGS4 looks better than Warhead? Its a popularity contest more than anything. Lets say you have 6 editors at a gaming website, usually only 1 will be a PC gamer and the rest various console gamers. Now think how the voting will go.

crysis Warhead beat MGS4 on alot of websites just not here at gamespot. Why is everything a conspriacy theory to you and all other hemits that disargree with you . Its baffles me at this point .

Read my post again, absolutely nothing to do with conspiracy. The fact that MGS4 won best graphics at the so called larger gaming websites, like GS and IGN (corporate funded and console focused) speaks volumes.

A couple actually. Its also on a completely different playing field in terms of quality and variety, especially thanks to the indie market.

7900 -> 8 series > 2 series > 480 series

No, it's not one, but four generations ahead. It's just that most games are being held back by consoles.

Consoles must be stuck in 2005 then with late 1990s resolution.

Also Metro 2033 says hi.

Yeah, right. A bunch of A rated games like Stalker or Metro are one generation ahead of consoles. Don't make me spill my coffee on my keyboard. Rofl.

PC has higher standards, which was confirmed by gamespot editor Kevin.

It also has the most high scoring exclusives from A to AAA.

Stalker was released with a lot of bugs but over time that was fixed and the game is much better now, especially with the complete 2009 mod which makes it one of the most atmospheric fps games along side with Metro 2033.

I myself don't play games based on someone else's review opinion.

Gamespot gave Strange Journey a 6 when that game was one of the best DS rpgs.

They also gave Legend of Dragoon around a 6 and I liked it more than Final Fantasy 7.

You just keep blindly following "scores" while the rest of use will have fun actually playing the games.

Can't think of a console title with a global a.i. system and reactive world as the STALKER series, nor can I think of a console game that has the technical specs of Metro 2033 - obviously the thing is a visual monstrosity.

Do you think that PC gaming is a generation ahead then console gaming? The graphics from a 2007 game look better then any console game ever and PC games are looking better and better.

A generation away if it really is that small or that is what you get i say is pretty pathetic,PC is a few generations ahead of consoles by now,the top of the line GPU now is more than a few generations ahead of what any of the consoles have.

It is a generation or two ahead in terms of hardware but in software it is on par with consoles imo.

Higher standarts = one generation ahead?

Cards like the GTX 480 or ATI 5970 are 12x or more faster then any of the consoles, Or lets add the fact that each of those cards have 4x or more the amount of video memory then what console uses for video memory. Some of these pure consolers and or fanboys what to argue about how good graphics look on consoles but almost every high budget console games that push the consoles are blurry and have no sharp high resolution textures that look medicore. You can look at Metro 2033 for example the console versions uses 1 meg textures where the lowest Pc settings use 2 meg and go all the way up to 9 meg on very high. Most console games to me are blurry messes compared to Pc games.
