I know, I know that PS3 fans love portraying how PS3 exclusives are graphical powerhouse and 360 is far behind. In truth, 360 is not far behind and the difference is not night and day. This can only mean that console graphics king is an invalid title.

Do not get me wrong. PS3 exclusives, especially Uncharted 2, boast some of the best visual on console; it just happens that Crysis 2 has the scale and density of visual effects and deserve to sit next to these exclusive titles, regardless of the version.

Why would PS3 fans spend time and forum space just to undermine Crysis 2? So tell me if Global Illumination or real-time lighting is not an advanced visual technology? Tell me if the bokeh depth of field is outdated? And please tell me if object deformation is not a boundary-pushing tech?

Even if you refuse to admit, at least give some credit to the game for pushing several fronts on two outdated piece of hardware.

Personally, I think God of War 3 has ps3's best graphics.

No one gives that game enough credit.

Lolz, it's funny how some do undermine crysis 2.

The differences between exclusives are about as big as the difference between multiplats. If 360 fans want to believe that multiplats are that much better on the 360 than sure the exclusives are that much better on the PS3.

^This Besides, I've yet to see an exclusive on the 360 to match the PS3s exclusives. There are zero multiplat games that can match up to Crytek's work, so I think that Crysis 2 is an acception. Personally I think the only thing that the 360 has over the PS3 is the network (cross game chat, parties, etc...). That's the reason I have crysis 2 on 360. Anyway back to your point, like I mentioned before, Crysis 2 is an acception. If you can come up with some other examples I may change my opinion.

Maybe those people think their exclusives look better than crysis 2 you never know everyone has an opinion, but crysis 2 and uncharted 2 are close imo.TheGuardian03
Like I said before, even if those exclusives do look better, it doesn't mean that Crysis 2 is far behind. For it is a fact that the game pushes on multiple fronts.

From playing it, it's not as open as they want you to think, the lighting is the best on any game but the texures are inconsistant. there is a lot of clipping too, when you throw an alien into the wall alot of the time it'l go right through

Many ppl paid to much attention to Sony´s hype train but like i always said both consoles are equal in capabilities. It´s all about devs talent.

This. Crysis 2 looks better at it´s best but Uncharted 2 is indeed more consistent and polished.

Yeah, I think this is one of those hyperbole's SW is so known for, have people said the PS3 is slightly more powerful, yes a lot of people think that, I believe John Carmack have said that as well, that but that's as far as it goes.

This. I still think KZ2 looks better than C2 when mentioning graphics. GOW3 on the other hand beats both

What if I also believe the PS3 exclusives are just generally better?

And yes, Uncharted 2, GOW3, Crysis 2, and KZ3 all look amazing. They are all at the same level of prowness. But 3 of those games are PS3 exclusives. I think Crysis 2 proves the 360 is more than capable of producing its own graphics king, but a weak MS first party makes this impossible. Both consoles hold eachother back in the MP department. Crysis 2 is amazing because it looks great and somehow bypassed this. If Crytek are going to put the effort into Codename Kingdoms it will be the best looking game on consoles.

Well said. Lets just wait and see how Codename Kingdoms turns out and if it actually remains a 360 exclusive.

Most of the love for ps3 exclusives I see stem from gameplay, but you can't really show that in a gif I suppose.

Crysis 2 is the definition of graphically inconsistent.....more so than some like to claim about GOW3.

subHD, framerate issues, pop in, texture problems, and bad form of AA. (especially when coupled with it being subHD)

Crysis 2 is way better looking than Uncharted and Killzone. Uncharted and Killzone are both as linear as you can get, Crysis 2 is sandbox and its way longer. Graphics are much better too.

Then the tint is too dark on your goggles because I can't count how many times over the last year I read something to the effect... " insert 360 game " doesn't even compare to " insert PS3 game " seriously :?

I and others have said all along that for visuals, 360/PS3 are about equal for all intents and purposes. :P

I think the PS3 is more powerful then the 360 but definately not by as much as Sony hyped before the beginning of the gen.

I'd put Crysis 2 right up there but still feel games like GOW3, KZ2,3, and Uncharted 2 are overall better looking on a more consistent basis - this based on the PS3 version of Crysis. I haven't played it on 360 but based on what I've seen they perform similarly.
