So far the Xbox 360 version of Crysis 2 is the best looking console game I've ever played. And I own both a PS3 and Xbox 360.KC_Hokie

Indeed, i own all systems too and it is the best looking hands down

So, is Crysis 2 the best looking console game ?

I will post reviews and pics from xbox 360 version for reference, to make the final judgement

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

"Every level has such attention to detail; it's amazing what the CryEngine 3 can do on consoles."

"My preference is towards Crysis' overall aesthetic over Killzone. The game simply looks stunning and the sense of scale, with the sky scrapers and expansive draw distance makes for a truly phenomenal visual experience."

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

Cant you just turn 3D off for all games ?

The xbox 360 doesn't really have a lineup. All I know is that it has gears of war 3 and forza 4. The last exclusive they had came out last September. The people that have an xbox 360 are better off buying multiplats until exclusives come out. Sometimes the graphics are better on the 360 version of a multiplatform game and sometimes its not and sometimes both the ps3 and 360 versions graphics look the same.GameboyTroy

It does not have a lineup ? What are you talking about ?

I have already bought Divinity2 Dragon Saga, Grey Matter, Torchlight, Wakfu, Dragon Age 2, Crysis 2 and soon will get Dishwasher Vampire Smile

Xbox 360 is all that i play since the beggining of the year, nothing else, is the only system with an actual lineup and big games

And soon i will get Clash of Heroes on XBLA, and Rise of Nightmares, Child of Eden for Kinect

And dont expect me to play Mass Effect 3 on PS3 and miss my Mass Effect 1 heroes either

[QUOTE="sts106mat"]they are not contradicting themselves, your "added thoughts" are a serious joke LOL. how come you didn't change the PSU quote "best looking shooter on PS3" face it your in denial, you need to listen to the guy in my sig, seriously go listen (to all of it) and then come back and tell us that he is wrong. campzor

No, they are not, all say that Crysis 2 is either one of the best (playing it safe) or hands down the very best on consoles (the most say that)

So, one thing is for sure, Crysis 2 is the best looking game around

Unless reviews only matter for PS3 exclusives

^Killzonedad, i read in a 360 mag (not official mag) that Rage was leaps and bounds above every other game they have seen on the 360, almost so good it was as if it was running on a next gen system. i am not sure, we will wait and see. but its pretty clear that crysis 2 is the best looking game on consoles. if anyone can pull that many reviews & quotes to that effect for UC2 / KZ3 they would have an argument, but its virtually pointless arguing about this now.sts106mat

I am sure Rage will have its own perks, but i doubt anything can be overall far better than Crysis 2, also the Rage article was far before Crysis 2 final version arrived

Rage will have a texture advantage probably, but i dont see anything as dynamic as Crysis 2 yet in lighting

Even if it is comparable, Codenamer Kingdoms that will come later and be a 360 exclusive with enchanced Crysis 2 engine only on 360 and 2ond generation (their 2ond 360 game) will easilly top both by far

[QUOTE="Mozelleple112"][QUOTE="killzoneded"]

Actually the 90+ are games only casuals will enjoy, usually are linear and 5-7 hours cinematic titles with basic gameplay

jakandsig

This generation the games with the most shallow, repeatitve, cinematic,linear and short gameplay get all the best scores and attention

It is the generation of the casual gamer

Arma 2 looks mediocre to terrible, how is that close to photorealism than Crysis 2 ?

Hopefully we get an E3 announcement

360 can easilly run anything

I wonder if PS3 could run Alan Wake 1-2, Codename Kingdoms, Fable 4, Crysis 2 crisp looking and Gears 3 though
