Notice how the PS3 version is the only one where tiling is noticeable, especially on the water’s horizon. Crysis 2 is an excellent game and is probably the most impressive thing on any 7th gen console, also for how they managed to optimize it so well, but it’s certainly not the trend opposing, boundary pushing game that Crysis was for the PC. The sequel was made with consoles in mind first and foremost, hence the linearity, small maps and lack of destructible environments. Sadly this is the only means by a developer may make a worthwhile profit. The potential for video game advancement (not only in visuals) is being stunted by the disproportionate popularity of the console market, which has yet failed to release anything cutting edge for 6 whole years.

All three look good. PC is obviously gonna look a little better due to lack of hardware limitations that the 360 and the PS3 have. If Microsoft and Sony upgraded their consoles with the newer processors, and increased the memory and put in better graphics processors they would probably look just as good as on a PC, which is eternally ever growing more powerful. Hell 700 dollars will get you the new GeForce 590 and be ever more powerful in the pants over a console. But ya gotta give the 360 and PS3 credit where credit is due because they both look great. Its not like they utterly bogged the graphics in order to be playable on the consoles.

In reply to jbg0623. Ok if you notice on pc version there are booies or however you spell it on the ocean, where as the ps3 and x-box do not, also the lighting from the sun glaring on the surface of the water looks like HD bloom effect which works great in that time of day so I say PC 1 all other platforms 0 haha

One thing consoles can’t do yet is Eyefinity/TripleHead. PC>Console. With the right GPU(s), good drivers, and maybe a little bit of OC’ing, Crysis 2 can run like a beast on PC with multiple screens.

In reply to doub7.

completely incorrect, Xbox has both a higher resolution and a better frame-rate. The Xbox has screen tears.

ps3 renders crysis 2 with 25% less pixels in compare to X360 and X360 has less framerate issues.

PC>X360>PS3

Wow Pilar I am surprised 2 hear that bout the framerates but I believe u. I have no personal experience w/ multiple versions so I could only make assumptions based on past experience.

But I do remember a Crytek dev sayin in a interview is that 1 of the best features of CryEngine 3 is that they r able 2 leverage all the diff consoles 2 their fullest potential. Sounds like it worked, kudos 2 Crytek. I can imagine how insane this game looks on a high end PC.
