Who do you trust in Maximizing the PS3? Crytek, Id Software, Sony first party

Damn... that's a hard choice. Imagine if all these people worked together. The result would be amazing.

[QUOTE="johny300"][QUOTE="J-WOW"]You know what I dont get? Crytek said that "the 360 and PS3 are equally as powerfull" BUT then they say" the PS3 version of Crisis 2 is the lowest denominator", does that make any sense? IF they are equal in power, why cant your game the same for both platforms? Crytek is just going to take the easy way out and give us a bad port. Yeah I get it, the PS3 is harder to develop, but isnt Crytek like the best at maxing out anything and going in deep in tech?ferret-gamer

I'm going with Crytek. They say that CryEngine 3 came from their attempt to use C2 on consoles (and failing miserably) so they optimized the engine (all the while adding new features) to the point that it became a new engine entirely. They boast it's scalability and that it can get almost double the frame rate at comparable visual fidelity in CryEngine 2 and that it can take full advantage of whatever hardware it's run on.

Ya, but 1st party titles from SONY look much better than C2 on consoles

[QUOTE="johny300"] Good question.Anastasia1997

I don't even trust Crytek or Id to make aiming feel good on analog sticks. Sony's first party is second to none in quality.

I'm going to go with Sony's first party. They don't have to divide their resources amongst multiple platforms and can focus 100% on the PS3. I Think when Naughty Dog announces Uncharted 3 and shows some gameplay we will see the pinnacle of graphics for this gen of consoles.

If not them, than i'd go with Crytek

We'll see. Crysis and warhead had some things like memory leaks and rendering issues that they never fixed.

Can't afford to be that sloppy on a console.

[QUOTE="ferret-gamer"] PS3 requires more coding work to achieve the same level of fidelity. Thats why they consider it the lowest common denominatior

I can say this, no one can answer that particular query since Crysis 2 hasn't been released on consoles.

We can't analyze the Finished product of Crysis 2, sadly. That day will come, for sure though. Rest assured though, Crysis 2 will be released and scrutinized.

Many in SW probably have been down this road before, looking at bullshots, PR shots, causing confusion regarding Alan Wake, Metro 2033, and even GeoW2. People saw PC grabs, polished unfinished games and tried to make declarations only to find the Finished game looked good, but not what they initially thought.

Companies can hide and selectively release screens and videos...that why we wait until the game is released from the companies to see what is real and what is not.

Unfortunately, that is one of many reasons why we can only ACCURATELY compare finished products to each other.:P

Well I dont trust Crytec considering how badly optimized the 1st Crysis was compared to Warhead. So yeah I go with Sony 1st party then id Softwear.
