So, is Crysis still considered graphics King?

Been a while since I've been in SW. Is Crysis still graphics king, what with all of these new good looking games coming out recently has anything changed?

Obligatory comparison pictures.

Yes, until Crysis 2 on PC comes out...

I would say Tech Wise Metro 2033 wins in some areas and Crysis wins in others.

They are right next to each other and at the top.

Crysis Warhead is the best currently.Stevo_the_gamer

And it runs much better than the original as well.

I think Crysis kinda overdoes the bloom but other than that, yeah it still is. I'm not sure what has changed though...

I believe it's modded Crysis vs Metro 2033 followed by Crysis: Warhead.

I thought we were through with the Graphics King business.

I don't think that will be the case but we'll see.

There are some impressive things that CryEngine 3.0 can do that 2 did not, but Crysis 2 looks nowhere near the scale that Crysis 1 had. But the keyword here is "looks." I would love to be wrong about this, BTW.

The best graphics I have seen are on Uncharted 2.Aspen706

Rage is an amazing, amazing technical achievement. It's the polar opposite of what Crysis went for. The goal of Crysis (Cryengine 2) was to push current and even future hardware to levels never seen before. They did very little in terms of optimization though. Rage (idTech 5), on the other hand, went for the optimization... and if what I hear and see is true, it looks as if Rage has done what couldn't be done on consoles.

That goes without saying. And id says the PC version of Doom 4 (using the same engine) will be far more advanced than the console versions... unlike Rage.

almost 5 years later

But of course their bullshots

strangeisland

Psst... It hasn't been 3 years yet since it released.

lol @ the guy showing off his smg

Arma 2 looks way better in motion to me, anyone saw the open map war? AMAZING sounds and physics/graphics.

This reminds me. I once saw that Real-life vs Crysis in a bigger version, probably higher resolution, and it makes this little one look like a bullshot.

#1 Crysis

#2 Metro 2033

#3 Crysis Warhead

#4 Arma 2

#5 Just Cause 2

Yes.

2007: Crysis>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Next best looking game

2010: Crysis>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Next best looking game

but we're getting there. Maybe in another 4 years.

On another note, the shack comparison doesnt impress me that much now. Back in 2006 it blew me away HARD. I couldnt believe it and thought graphics like that were impossible. Now i can easily see differences and its not as impressive. how quick graphics and time move.

Yes.

Oonga

Real life looks much better then the pics TC posted.

Damn virtual world fanboys :P

Hakkai007

Yeah I would agree with this, Crysis is still more impressive because of the scale though.

Crysis Warhead is the best currently.Stevo_the_gamer

Crysis/Crysis Warhead and Metro are the two best looking games (MEtro on high end pc not 360).

Metro isnt open ended though, while Crysis is. So yes I still consider Crysis to be the graphics king, with Metro right behind (if not tied).

I think Metro 2033 could have had a large open world if the devs wanted it too.

That wasn't why the game was so demanding, it was certain light and particle effect that stress a PC.

Since the games plot took place in under ground caverns it couldn't be open world.

There were only a few parts where you can go above ground and those were kind of large even if sections were blocked off.

The lighting was simply amazing when bouncing off objects.

I especially love the last 80% of game play.

Climbing the tower at the very end was done very well.

Yah but then I doubt the game could have been on the xbox 360.

The console could barely handle the lower settings.

Am I the only one who thinks Batman: AA and JC 2 looks nice? :-/

I'm guessing yes.

At least until September 14th.. j/k :P

Crysis looks amazing.

Crysis looks amazing.

He wasn't confused he was an idiot. I remember that guy, said he'd eat his gpu if he was lying or something. All the gameplay videos of the game so far look horrible, well by console standards theyre decent but nothing to Crysis on pc.

So, yeah that guy was a moron. lol
