ps3 or xbox crysis which should i get

i own both and both are hooked up to my tv, with all the arguments about xbox version being better im confused.


is it fact that one is better than the other .? i like my ps3 lately a bit more but if its better on the 360 id get it on that as its been a while since i played my xbox .

no buy on pc posts as i dont have a capable gaming pc :)

Are you planning to play it online? If so, do your friends want to play it as well? If this is the case, get it for the system which you'll have more friends to join online.

Or if its just single player, then it comes down to preference. I've seen both, and I think the 360 version looks a little better but I did play it entirely through on my PS3 and the framerate and graphics were fine throughout. I would go with whatever controller you prefer. Or hell, if you like getting trophies more than achievments or vice versa. I don't really think there's a superior (console) version.

ps3 dude, graphics are better and you get free online...why not?

Your answer is somewhere in this article, but you'll likely have to read it all and make a decision from that. Unfortunately (for decision making purposes), there's no "best" version, since they both do some things better than the other.

From what I've heard they both have aspects that outdo each other and even then the differences will be negligible at best. The only stand out version is the PC one. I say, just flip a coin.

no all my friends play lame games so id be playing both online and sp alone.

i already have xbl so cost is no problem of paying online lol . i meant graphic purpose is there a differance or what differances if any ? i was going to pass on this game but iv seen some awsome looking videos and the guns sound awsome! something im a lil particular over if a gun sounds awsome hmm

Get it for whatever system you prefer the controller for; or wether you'd prefer the game to appear on your trophy count or your gamerscore.

I own both the 360 and PC versions, and whilst I prefer to play the game maxed out on PC to be honest there really isn't that much difference between the two unless you actually stop to stare at small details.

I mainly bought the game on 360 is to support crytek for making such an amazing engine work on consoles. At least on my TV the xbox 360 version seems sharper (less muddy and washed out) and closer to the pc version than on ps3, so If I were you I'd go with this version

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

Also DF said that while xbox has slightly higher avarage fps it dips much more when there's stuff going on, so the ps3 frame rate is more stable thus you'll notice the fps drops much more on xbox.

"On balance, 360 has the edge in terms of visuals and general performance"

I like how you quote articles without reading them.

[QUOTE="charlesdarwin55"] Nice selective reading there buddy: Lens of Truth: FPS: Xbox 360: 29 fps PS3: 26,5 fps Screen tearing: Xbox: 2% Playstaton: 0% Also DF said that while xbox has slightly higher avarage fps it dips much more when there's stuff going on, so the ps3 frame rate is more stable thus you'll notice the fps drops much more on xbox. And it clearly looks better on the ps3 with texture loading on the, lightning effects missing & leaves missing. Basically Pay for online pick xbox Free online pick ps3

Um, no where did you hear this. DF said the lighting on the PS3 is slightly off actually. Also the texture thing if reffering to the sleeve is because the PS3 has 0-16X AF(depending on the scene) and the X360 has a constant 4X. What leaves missing lmao.

[QUOTE="NWA90s"] when you use a crap camera to film film the tv of course its not ganna look impressivecharlesdarwin55

i haven't played the PS3 version, but I just picked up the 360 version and I think the performance is pretty weak. The frame dips are very noticeable and the pop-ins are too. If the 360 is the better version I don't know what that says about the PS3 because this game, although very pretty, is very flawed.

Played both, completed both. 360>PS3 by hardly anything graphically. It really doesn't make a lot of difference as the game runs well on either, you can't go wrong.

Anyone who disagrees is trolling and doesn't know what they're talking about/hasn't played both for more than an hour each. The facts are there, the critics views are there and play both versions to see for yourselves.

Bad quality but here's missing effects on the xbox(ps3 on the left):

No flickering light

Missing leaves

[QUOTE="charlesdarwin55"][QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"] I wasn't talking about the graphics, but the destruction and physics. The game looks good

GeneralShowzer

As some others have said, different sites cant seem to agree on a "better version" thing, so I think it may depend somewhat on the system you have (since small performance differneces are present on all consoles) They perform so closely that most sites are stretching it by picking a "winner"

I would just pick the system that have most friends playing it, or if you are after SP only then buy the version you find that is cheapest (if some store has a sale) it really does not matter... Good sp game tho ^^
