PS3 exclusives are still the best looking console games by far (56k warning)

Especially when compared to Crysis 2

I agree Crysis 2 in consoles looks good but not as good as games like KZ and UC2kuraimen

Some of these shots look awful. You should have picked better ones.

Killzone probably has some of the best graphics around.

Eurogamer:
"But it is a world whose intricacy and realism will cause you to stop and stare long after the first drop of the jaw. The sway of tree-tops; the spray of a decorative fountain; the flames erupting from a burst gas pipe: incidental details that grab your attention for their quiet, shocking realism. Who knows how Crytek managed to squeeze Cry Engine 3 onto the consoles while maintaining such extraordinary level of detail? But this world sits next to Uncharted 2's as the most detailed and well-expressed yet seen on our TVs."

joystiq: Though about the millionth FPS built around a plot of an alien invasion, give or take a few, it's also the most beautiful.

destructoid: Naturally, the gameplay is all wrapped up with some of the most gorgeous visuals you'll see in a videogame.

1up: Crysis 2 is just as visually impressive as its predecessor, even on PS3 and 360.
http://www.1up.com/reviews/crysis-2-review

gamezone: The game looks utterly stunning and is arguably one of the best-looking shooters on consoles. I'm still undecided whether Crysis 2 looks better than the original game, but the fact that there is a discussion about which looks better speaks volumes on what Crytek was able to accomplish with their engine.
http://xbox.gamezone.com/reviews/item/crysis_2/

videogamer: It might come up slightly short compared to Killzone 3 in raw mettle, with an occasionally inconsistent framerate on our PS3 version, but the game is leagues ahead in terms of artistic accomplishment.
http://www.videogamer.com/xbox360/crysis_2/review.html

strategyinformer: Crysis 2 is bloody gorgeous, and by far one of the most polished games we've ever played. Watching the cityscape come crashing down around you in all its HD glory is quite the sight, especially in some of the more open areas midway through the main campaign. Whether you've diving across rooftops or making your way into the heart of an alien hive, it's all jaw-dropping throughout.
http://www.strategyinformer.com/xbox360/crysis2/1434/review.html

gamerevolution: Somehow the team over at Crytek has found a way to make their sequel just as visually remarkable as the original and without the need to spend a fortune on a fancy new video card and extra RAM (on the console at least)

msxbox-world: Crysis may have been the benchmark game on PC but for console owners there might be a new kid on the block as Crysis 2 really is a sight to behold.
http://www.msxbox-world.com/xbox360/reviews/review/698/Crysis-2.html

metro: Although Crysis 2 swaps an actual jungle for the urban variety, the level of near photorealism remains. Despite the impressive scale the attention to detail is second to none: from hedges that shed leaves as you run through them to the filtering of light through a half-destroyed wall. That all this is running on a middle-aged console, not a state of the art PC, only makes it more impressive.

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; especially outside of combat scenarios,
the game just seems to run that much more smoothly

Xbox 360 pics

Only UC2 and KZ3 look better than Crysis 2 for consoles IMO. By the end of the year I feel Uncharted 3, Rage, Battlefield 3, and maybe Gears 3 and Resistance 3 will look the best on Consoles.

Frankly all these coming games look very dated comparing to Crysis 2, especially Uncharted 3

Lol @ killzoned ^^. There are much more gaming sites still that havent said C2 was the best looking console game, and your pics disprove your own point :lol:. C2's MP already looks mediocre graphically when compared to its SP counter-part, and then the environments in C2 themselves are inconsistent, with aggressive LOD, poor FOV, poor textures, the game being Sub-HD, etc

Cool story bro, too bad I play games for the gameplay, not the graphics. :)

99% of the people who are claiming that crysis 2 > everything else is coming from x360 fans.

Wow. This is madness. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8B85K8_MZE0

Crysis 2 (360) is the best looking console game on the market. The industry has spoken. 360 has the best looking game and overall more better looking games in comparison to the 360. The pool of exlusives is vastly smaller compared to the multiplats shared by both systems.

I have played and beaten Killzone 3, go look up my PSN it's the same name I have here. Crysis 2 on the XBOX 360 looks better than Killzone 3 without question.

Sorry but IMHO, Crysis 2 360 blows evrythign out da water imho

KZ3 and UC2 look better than Crysis 2 but "by far" is a bit of an exaggeration. lol Resistance shouldn't even be in the list.

Well we agree to disagree and like I said before, I expect all three of those games to be surpassed by a few titles by the end of the year.

Yeah I noticed how the majority of sites were 360 ones. Oh wait....

This is just damage control because a bunch of guys can't handle that their biggest trump card in graphics has now become irrelevant. Its time to deal with it.

^^ THIS!

Wow... Cows are having a really hard time dealing with reality. I guess if I spent so much time claiming dominance in some area, then having proverbial egg on my face, maybe I'd... nah.. no i wouldnt, cuz I'm not a fanboy.

UC2 used to hold the title of "CONSOLE" graphics king... now Crysis 2 (360) does... stop crying and go enjoy your games, that is if you still can, now that your system of choice doesnt hold a silly title that means nothing, yet somehow deserves so much attention on your part.

Well I'm off to play Crysis 2 (PC) now. Enjoy your squabbling.

Even though I think UC2 is still tops for consoles graphics right now, Crysis 2 ends the debate that the 360 isn't capable off putting out PS3 exclusive graphics. The 360 crysis 2 looks better than many PS3 exclusives...exclusives that many on here claimed were impossible on 360.

Crysis 2 360 version is the best looking game on consoles PERIOD. Cows need to deal with this; but will always be in denial.

Every poll we've had here on system wars has had C2 come out on top (if only talking consoles, we know PC is the best). I don't wanna hear "lemmings!" because previously any polls among the public that had KZ or UC always came out on top.

^^ Lol it the same reason why PS3 fans say there games look the best. The difference between now and then is that many reviewers agree, even digital foundry agrees...

I really cant stand the design and artstyle of KZ. Its too dark and gritty for me .

MC3887

It's all opinion, but if people are going to use sites and go out and tell a lie "it's all 360 sites" I'm going to throw it right back because it's false. There is a "solid but not universal" agreement that C2 360 is the best looking game/among the very best looking games on consoles. That being said all these games being talked about KZ3, UC2, C2 are all within the realm of eachother.
