Well, TW2 flat out beats Crysis 2, but as for Crysis 1 I'd say they are tied.

Crysis is still technologically better.. Witcher 2 looks amazing but I think it has little to do with technological gain.. Just the sheer detail of everything thatshows how indepth and committed the dev was.

Why do we even need to argue, they both look great, some aspects look better in the Witcher some look better in the Crysis games.

Funny how hermits are always the first to jump into graphic king threads saying they are dumb and just shouldn't be made. Now here they are starting up new threads.

thats because console graphics threads are nearly pointless due to the restrictions of the consoles hardware making most games almost identical.

whereas pc graphics can be a lot more varied.

To be fair, it's not like PC games are really flexing their muscles. They seem to have the same sort of restrictions as consoles, not becasue of hardware, but becasue of software.

Crysis is able to achieve photorealism, so the tech is better. But Witcher 2 being a fantasy game has a much broader color palette and much more style, so it can look a lot more appealing that way.

To me crysis 1 is still king. But TW2 looks unbelievable. It looks realistic but not too real at the same time which is key to keeping its fantasy look. It does some things with dx10 that normally you only see in Dx11. Such as the terrain and geometry look really good and it is very very consistently beautiful

Edit: wait its only Dx9??? then its even more impressive

There are many aspects Witcher 2 matches or does better than Crysis, but overall i would say that Crysis is still more impressive technically.

To be frank that is a overblown feature.. The only destructable buildings there are, are just flimsy ass shacks.. You can't destroy the trailers, you can't destroy bunkers, you can't destroy any concrete buildings, or any of the warehouses....

It constantly amazes me that people tout that feature as something amazing, as far as I can tell it's super basic and if you wanted you could easily set up a similar effect in the Unreal Engine no problem.

People tout it as impressive because Crysis actually does it, you definatly can do the same thing or much better destruction in Unreal, just like you could do much better destruction in Cryengine 2 as well. The thing is that the little houses made of constraints are actually in the game and are pretty sweet to mess with and how it interacts with gameplay.

The detail and textures of TW2 are probably the best I have ever seen, it looks amazing, especially when you just stop and pay attention. Crysis however has the scale, its a hard one to call. I played a bit of fable 3 on my PC whilst the stupid 9gb TW2 patch was DLing. I have to say after playing 20+ hours on TW2 it looked last gen. I honestly would have sworn I was playing a 10 year old game. Even checked the settings to see if they were maxxed our. TW2 may well have spoilt the look of many games for me lol

Even if hermits say Crysis 2 is better, it's still the PC version we're talking about.

Crysis vanilla can look ugly at times, let's be honest. I never had that problem with Witcher 2 besides a low poly NPC model, everything looks amazing.

crysis is still technically better.... even though i still find the art in TW2 to be far superior. Never have liked this comparing graphics with technical terms.

Artistically I think TW2 is one of the best games ever made of course it is also coupled with an impressive technical production. So artistically most definitely but that's mainly opinion, technically probably not but who cares I still rather look at TW2 than any Crysis game anyday.

It goes like this.

Crysis>The Witcher 2>Crysis 2.

As for art style, I vote The Witcher 2.

That's physics, not graphics -.-, and it's something you could do since hl2, not even vaguely impressive. (tw2 could do that if you made one of those stupid shacks too)

Tech = Crysis

Art = TW2

TW2 will age better, and the shadows are cleened up a bit with supersampling, and the game looks much better in motion than in a screenshot, would be nice if the shadows did just look better though...

He has a point there. Blowing up a lot of stuff does not mean a game is a graphics power house. I can smash just about every thing in Super Mario Bros and that game wasn't much of a looker even during it's time. We are comparing which one looks better, not what we can do in the game. Plus the Witcher is not going to go drive around in a tank and fire missiles into houses.

Do you know the TC as a hermit?

No kidding, the TC has 13 posts when I write this. How can he already be considered a hermit? Some logic just escapes people no matter how bold and in-your-face it is.
