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

If people have played both Killzone 3, uncharted 2... and still say Crysis 2 is better.. then i'd agree with em as well as the reviewers.

But it would only be marginally better.. not anything phenomenal.
And from those screenshots, i'd pick Killzone 3.

Either way.. it can only get better right?

Crysis 2 on consoles is not HD, has framerate issues, has pop in issues, texture problems, and uses a bad form of AA..mainly when coupled with its subHD resolution.

now does this mean C2 looks horrible, no....it is one of the best looking games. With all the effects turned on and everything comming together...it looks great. BUT I don't know how some can crown this graphics King or whatever with all those problems....mainly when there are current games out that look just as good if not better...but are legit HD, no obvious pop in issues, and use a much better form of AA.

sure art is subjective, but when you look at what Crysis 2 has to sacrifice to achive its great visuals....you can't hide behind opinions in this regard.

[QUOTE="kuraimen"]I agree Crysis 2 in consoles looks good but not as good as games like KZ and UC2Nayef_shroof

[QUOTE="FIipMode"]

the vast majority of them did and, no offence, but these same reviewers are the ones the cows used as evidence that UC2 was the best looking console game, remeber, UC2 was the best looking game on consoles "because teh critics said so", people need to accept it, crysis 2 is the best looking game on consoles, they also need to accept that the 360 can obviously produce graphics on par with the ps3, i for one am glad, this will give us a respite from this board being full of graphics threads.delta3074

Not really, UC2 being the best on consoles was decided by a bunch of polls on SW, not relying on the words of some critics.

Crysis 2 won every poll this month. There was even one poll where if you added all the votes of ps3 exclusives it was still less than crysis 2.

Crysis 2 looks incredible on PC... on consoles it gets trumped by PS3 exclusives, and even 360 exclusives (says www.gametrailers.com - invisibl walls)

I agree. Crysis 2 on consoles doesn't set the bar.

Not that much of a difference, it's still about individual opinions.

And hey can talk about graphics with these games too, critics praised MW2 and MGS4s graphics, hell this site gave MGS4 a win in graphics over Crysis:W yet most here would say those games have some overrated graphics.

FIipMode

Yes but games also have irrefutable technical tie-ins and have less variables to judge from, therefore making it less-subjective.

Yeah but the point is SW thinks for itself, the opinions of some critics doesn't hold as much weight as some think.

Well then, the cows didn't think of that say that when there games held the crown.

Lol we've haven't been anywhere near shot down. As much as you guys say "oh I have pick up both versions and think "this" many people have said the opposite, we also have a good amount of reviewers agreeing w/ us.

TL;DR: Deal with it.

Last two are PS3 pics.

But like I said, those threads calling Uncharted 2 or whatever the best looking game on consoles didn't rely on what critics think. SW doesn't let critics think for them.

I sure don't remember it like this, when someone denies C2 being the best you usually see is a list of quotes from sites afterwards. Do you have any examples of it being like this back with Uncharted 2?

No I agree that the C2 thing is more extreme, but most people had a site or two on hand back then. I just believe the list is because cows have been proven wrong after hearing about "teh cell" for the whole gen. So they really wanna push it into peoples faces.

Not impressed with the blurry sub hd crysis 2 shots TBH, in motion they're even worse with bad ghosting, shadow updating and pop ins.gpuking

Lol, so what did you think about KZ2 when it came to blurryness then?

You know the thing is I've haven't heard any complaints about C2's aliasing, AF(4X on X360 dynamic 16X on PS3), and very little about ghosting. The res is a fair deal you have an 11% boost.

By far... far as in this much - ?

Well, as an owner of Killzone 3 for the PS3 & Crysis 2 for the 360. My vote goes to Crysis 2 - pretty easy decision - it just looks better. All single console owners passing judgment by looking at screenshots.......please go away.

okay i know i must be doing something wrong, because those games do not look that good on my t.v.

Most games look better on 360 why? Most likely since its easier to make games on. Now you tell a pc fanboy crysis 2 is better then crysis in graphics he/she will go crazy.

Only a few companies use the Ps3's true graphic power

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

"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."

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.

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.

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.

the game just seems to run that much more smoothly

OMG UC2 still looks the best, i so regret buying this consolized crap that is Crysis 2. The true graphics king is still Crysis and it came out in 2007.

For consoles, yea Crysis 2 is the new graphics leader, UC not far behind. Both are awesome games though and any person that can play both should.
