have you actually played crysis yet? i did (the multiplayer beta). And i can tell you that it really is the most impressive game i have seen. Half life 2 + FF may have better textures, but dont forget its a mod and that there probably will be a better texture pack for crysis. As for the water, i would say its pretty tied between bioshock and crysis. But then again, bioshock was focused on giving realistic water, while in crysis, its more about the moveable vegetation, breakable trees, insanely detailed leaves and the shadows. Honestly, no game released this year will even come close to look as good as crysis.What are we comparing, exactly? Crysis graphics to the stellar rendering in CGI movies? I for one am always amazed when I see another Pixar fim with realistice hair and so on.
My two cents:
Crysis does look brilliant as awhole, but the individual pieces? Anybody else think that Half-Life 2+ Fakefactory Cimematic has better character textures then Crysis? (you can see pores with FF.) How about the water? Bioshock is the clear winner. Crysis water looks like an update for the Water in Battlefied 2. (a major one, don't get me wrong, but jeez...Bioshock!)
I don't want to do any topic necromancy here, but Crysis looked brilliant when it was first displayed. Now, what, 2 years later? It still looks great, but not as great as the release dates for Unreal Tournament 3 and other power hitters draw closer, slated for release within days of Crysis. Only time will tell.
Another point of interest is the Graphical quality for computational ability. How wel will these games scale for lower end computers? Low end computer will mostly likely pwn crysis with visual quality from Unreal 3 powered games.
Just some thoughts. (no flames I haven't ahs any coffee yet, just got up 15 minutes ago. :P)
