[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"][QUOTE="Advid-Gamer"] Ill admit I did get alittle annoyed at the direct console port, you can tell by the bad textures, yes I wish it looked better, crysis puts it to shame, I tried them back to back. I am a graphics whore and I would actually enjoy the game more if it looked better, that said the game is amazing alot more fun and the gameplay puts crysis1 to shame. Since you were a huge crysis1 fan you are only hurting yourself by not getting this game. Rumer is, graphic updates are on the way anyways. The game looks good as is, just not CRYSIS good that we have all come to expect from the king of graphics, but by no means is it a bad looking game.

It's funny you didn't read this then:

Yerli says this is a deliberate move after taking criticism for the high system requirements of the first game. "I'm frustrated about this. We said it was a game that was pushing boundaries, which would stay relevant in the future, and all we got was a backlash: "This game doesn't run!" Then games came out for the same hardware that weren't running at all, or were choppy and whatnot despite low-res graphics. Yet we were the bad guys for pushing PC graphics, making it too expensive to play."

This effectively doesn't make it just consoles fault.

X360>PS3 pixel counter/FPS counter (most cases) standard X360=PS3 in rl.

[QUOTE="delta3074"][QUOTE="kuraimen"] Not every review site thought Crysis 2 is the best looking console game either so what's your point opinions vs opinions decides nothing officially.FIipMode

Not really, UC2 being the best on consoles was decided by a bunch of polls on SW, not relying on the words of some critics.

It was definitely a combo and the polls was just to see vs KZ2 another PS3 game. Also, KZ2 was definitely by critics word vs. GeOW 2.

Eurogamer:
"But it is a world whose intricacy and realism will cause you to stop and stare long after the first drop of the jaw. The sway of tree-tops; the spray of a decorative fountain; the flames erupting from a burst gas pipe: incidental details that grab your attention for their quiet, shocking realism. Who knows how Crytek managed to squeeze Cry Engine 3 onto the consoles while maintaining such extraordinary level of detail? But this world sits next to Uncharted 2's as the most detailed and well-expressed yet seen on our TVs."

joystiq: Though about the millionth FPS built around a plot of an alien invasion, give or take a few, it's also the most beautiful.

destructoid: Naturally, the gameplay is all wrapped up with some of the most gorgeous visuals you'll see in a videogame.

gameinformer: Crytek wisely sticks to the traits that made the first game successful while simultaneously pushing the boundaries of graphical fidelity.

1up: Crysis 2 is just as visually impressive as its predecessor, even on PS3 and 360.
http://www.1up.com/reviews/crysis-2-review

gamezone: The game looks utterly stunning and is arguably one of the best-looking shooters on consoles. I'm still undecided whether Crysis 2 looks better than the original game, but the fact that there is a discussion about which looks better speaks volumes on what Crytek was able to accomplish with their engine.
http://xbox.gamezone.com/reviews/item/crysis_2/

videogamer: It might come up slightly short compared to Killzone 3 in raw mettle, with an occasionally inconsistent framerate on our PS3 version, but the game is leagues ahead in terms of artistic accomplishment.
http://www.videogamer.com/xbox360/crysis_2/review.html

strategyinformer: Crysis 2 is bloody gorgeous, and by far one of the most polished games we've ever played. Watching the cityscape come crashing down around you in all its HD glory is quite the sight, especially in some of the more open areas midway through the main campaign. Whether you've diving across rooftops or making your way into the heart of an alien hive, it's all jaw-dropping throughout.

gamerevolution: Somehow the team over at Crytek has found a way to make their sequel just as visually remarkable as the original and without the need to spend a fortune on a fancy new video card and extra RAM (on the console at least)

msxbox-world: Crysis may have been the benchmark game on PC but for console owners there might be a new kid on the block as Crysis 2 really is a sight to behold.

metro: Although Crysis 2 swaps an actual jungle for the urban variety, the level of near photorealism remains. Despite the impressive scale the attention to detail is second to none: from hedges that shed leaves as you run through them to the filtering of light through a half-destroyed wall. That all this is running on a middle-aged console, not a state of the art PC, only makes it more impressive.

Finally, this wouldn't be a Crysis 2 review without some space dedicated to the game's graphics, would it? This is a gorgeous game, certainly one of the best-looking console titles to date

Crysis 2 for the PlayStation 3 is an exceptional shooter and perhaps the best looking game on the system.

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

Xbox 360: 29 fps
PS3: 26 fps

Crysis 2 looks miles better than KZ3 and U2 imo and also the opinion of every review on the planet

incuensuocha

Agreed they are in the same league.

[QUOTE="MC3887"]

[QUOTE="kuraimen"] Sorry not the review but Kevin V, the reviewer, did say that it doesn't look as good as KZ and UC2kuraimen

Many reviewer opinions>1 reviewer, I am sure not every site though KZ2/UC2/kz3 where the best looking games on console either.

Never said that did I? The cows thought differently when there CGK was being selected. A good amount of reviewers agreed, there is a pretty soild amount of people who agree. Hell even the guys at the PSU board agree.

[QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"][QUOTE="kuraimen"] There's nothing official, the review here said it didn't look as good as UC2 and KZ for starters.kuraimen

Many reviewer opinions>1 reviewer, I am sure not every site though KZ2/UC2/kz3 where the best looking games on console either.

Just saying it was at one point. mitu.

[QUOTE="caseypayne69"]

[QUOTE="Funconsole"] See non-fanboys will agree to this since it's mostly true (I still think UC2 looks better than GOW3) but cows (and to an extent lems) will never agree to thisBus-A-Bus

I see this too. PS3 had Graphics king after Graphics king. 360 just had Gears 1 and than it ended. Sad it has to come from a Multiplatform game that is almost equal on bost consoles. For me its been odd watching PS3 score all the graphic kings with its smaller pool dedicated to the GPU. It seamed obvious the 360 with pwn it all gen, but I guess the Cell really is amazing and Sony has better dev's.

Kings 360

Start - Gears one - Finish Crysis 2

Kings PS3

Start Uncharted - MGS4 - Killzone 2 / God of War 3 - Uncharted 2 - Gran Turismo 5 - Killzone 3

Im sorry but where were you 2005?Conclusion than was that PS3 might be more than 2x times more powerful.Of course than we found out that memory and badnwidth were both on 360 side,as well as considarably better GPU.But Cell did deliver,definitely.Maybe not 4d 60fps at 1080p but it did :P

Now I think that things will get more evenly...Crysis 2--->Gears 3---->Kingdoms

UC3--->next SM game etc...

Rage? also When is UC3 supposed to come out?

GeOW2?

[QUOTE="MC3887"]

[QUOTE="dvalo9"]overall the 360 performs slightly better, but the best visual moments are better on the ps3 versiondvalo9

How?

You said in your quote the best visual moments, not best performance. Also, if you notice both do poor in those areas however the X360 goes like 1 FPS lower from the vids I've seen in those areas.
