PS3 version definitly better.

More vegetation and better light and detail on the alley pic.

For some reason I see the Jungle setting to be better on the PS3 and the suburbs to be better on the 360...weird.

this is a engine demo end you compare this to one single game. lets say it does look better than killzone2. does this mean 360 wil have games looking better than kz2? hellnooooooooooooo! we have kz2 next uncharte2 next god of war3 next lets hope crysis four games with monster graphics end amazing phiysics on the same console. stop the hate sale yous 360 end get a f@@king ps3.

I for one love the crysis engine, but controller play (for me) feels retarded after years of PC fps's. But wow, for a console, it looks amazing.

Also, I always notice that the ps3 always renders white light, waaaay brighter than the 360. Just a difference in the gfx chip.

Honestly I think they both look the same except for the lighting shot. The only real difference is the pop in.

every body click the pic and see the power of teh cell

In some places PS3 version better, but the screens aren´t exactly the same.

sign .... just move on people. Good engine coming to consoles. Be grateful!

Depending on how the shots are taken(I have a feeling they both aren't done the same), but the PS3 version(From those pics) is indeed better.

The first picture the PS3 seems to have better draw distance and sharper textures, while the 360 version seems to have a fierce blur(But as I said I think the picture could be done wrong and it might be motion blur, completely acceptable.).

Second picture the PS3 version is just far clearer and the lighting is much better.

Then again, this is only a tech demo, and should be taken at just that, wait until the actual games using it comes out, then take your fanboy magnifying glass to the vision. ;)

lol that demo was used 98% of xbox power and in the end xbox red lights showed

i bet now we will not see mp games what ever they are making
there going to be exclusive
and i tell ya now
and the engine will require more than 1 xbox disk

Jack u have been owned mate the cam is a closer shot on the ps3 screen u fool
watch the vid again Clown lol
Oh my word

I guess this settles the debate. The PS3 can run Crysis and the 360 can't

PS3 version looks better. No doubt about it

Imposible to see the difference in theses pictures. Only a fanboy can see any differeces.

Fanboy flame bait, gogogo.

.

The 360 can't even run a simple tech demo without pop in, frame rate issues, bad draw distances, and flickering shadows. haha

Ps3 looks more sharper.

The second pic is so different it is hard to tell, but the first does look better on PS3. I like the second on 360 more, but I just think it is the color or something.

On the PS3 second pic, the light looks like a block on the ground.

i am 360 all the way but i will admit the PS# jungle scene wins BUT in all honesty the urban scene looks better on the 360. THis almost makes me think they did this on purpose to cause all types of controversey and hype. both screenshots are flip flopped on quality so its weird. I dont see any reason why they couyldnt clean up that blurry stuff in the 360 image just as well as they could have made the lighting and shadows in the urban image look better on PS3. seriously all fanbopy bs aside i think something is going on there with both screens

very little difference(if any) between the two at any stage, the fact people are arguing this is rather ridiculous

the only differences really come in the color palettes, ps3 is more red which we have seen time and time again, and 360 is more blue which we have seen time and time again

wait until somebody actually uses the engine in a game before critiquing because honestly a lot of you have no clue what is going on

Hard to tell.These pictures don't even look like they were taken at the same angle or something.I don't know, something looks a little varied in each picture.

Tho in the first picture i thought 360 has greener, lusher looking plants.But the clouds, mountain and water looked better on PS3.

Let me know when this becomes a GAME, you know, with a release date, gameplay, etc...

Silly people arguing over an ENGINE that is what, 1 - 2 years off from PRACTICAL application?

THe ps3 version looks alot better. Also in the video the 360 version had ALOT of pop-in.

Ps3 version has more detail+better lighting,and is it just me or does the 360 version look much blurrier?

look at the mountain far away, you can really see more detail on the ps3.

CRYTEK even has some secret PS3 technology that they are working on.

PS3 does look better its more sharp, and lighting is way better whereas 360 version looks blury, and those mountains look brown instead of looking dark grey.

360 fanboys, know which is superior but they lie to themselves just to back the console..

Pissing contest.

Seriously, who cares?

Screenshots taken from a VIDEO. A number of factors distort these screens which aren't direct feed.

I cant really tell the difference in the 1st shot (ones got blurr).
But the 2nd shot, my god what the hell is up with the lighting on the Ps3 version, and I dont mean the slightly "light" look, I mean the square light on the floor in the middle. Very square cut.

Still early days.

what are you lot talking about. i own a PS3 and think it's the best machine but those pics are identical quality on both machines

The 360 is a little blurry just by looking at the grass and the mountain form a distance..not to take anything away from what Crytek have been able to do.

Didn't think it was possible.

Like I stated before:

KZ2 like Gow looks great in Close tight "environments" where they can jack up the polygons but then again, I've seen the UT3 Engine used on many different types of games and know what it can do on a large scale (Jrpgs and such)but not sure and KZ2's engine. CryEngine Explosions make KZ2's look like fire crackers.

Serious Question: Why do KZ2's explosions look so weak? Like a weak flare...

it looks better on Ps3 for sure

I'm a long-standing proponent of the PS3, but did anyone even check the second screenshot? So many more realistic shadows on the 360 version...

This is a good example of an engine not designed specifically with the PS3's hardware in mind.

Killzone 2 Engine for the win!

the Cryzone is there ---> WAAAAAAAAAAAY over there -----> in last place with the 360 burning

On the second screen, the main lighting is kinda weird.
On Xbox 360, the light is soft and degrades on the floor, while on PS3 the light is high and ends on the floor with very sharp edges, like if there was a texture or a filter missing. I guess it will be fixed soon or it's just a little bug.

Otherwise, CryEngine 3 looks very good on both consoles and i highly hope some games will use this engine instead of Unreal Engine 3. A Crytek game on 360 and PS3 would be awesome (as long as we get out of the jungle !).

where is the cryZone for the xbox fans

does anyone know

When I watched the hd trailer theres a couple things I noticed. Both look equally as good, both have been optomized for their specific systems.

Lighting, the radiosity on the ps3 version is better, but the diffusion on the 360 version is better, the ps3 seemed brighter everywhere, had a bit more colour from the light, while the 360 seemed to have darker shadows, and the light seemed to alpha out better.

textures, both have roughly the same quality of textures, the ps3 version seems to have better draw distances, but because the trailer doesn't use the exact footage it's hard to tell, even in the screen shot of the jungle it looks like motion blur is playing a major role on the 360 version so it's hard to tell.

objects on screen- the same.

effects, the smoke and fire are obviously better on the ps3 version.

Showdos The city scene seems to have better/crisper shadows on the 360 version, it's pretty obvious.

alaising, 360 seems to have this one beat.

Overall any developer who uses the engine will develop the same looking game on each platform, and I'm sure both will look stuning.

PS3 = showing the latest in gaming technology
360 = being used as a temporary hardware by MS to show tech demos for the PS1

I wonder if all those PC developers beavering away on games using CryEngine 2 have anychance of 'porting' their work (to CryEngine 3) and maybe getting their games on the consoles? -_^

Be nice...

just for once. can all the fanboys(droids and bots) come together and say yes, its a great engine no matter what system its on. this little war between two gaming giants doesn't matter anymore. just sit back and enjoy the great things to come for both.

long live the true gamer.

the ps3 is slaping the 360 up the ass better lighting better graphics no blur .. to think i use to love the 360 them day ar gone now

Fanboys can't see- They are all blind. All they see is theirs and its the best period!! Just a bunch of blind idiots!!

Is it me, or the mountain in picture lack details for 360, and PS3 has far more stuff, and detail in it? Or it just has popped in for 360.

I totally expected the other way around.

The Engine is almost Identical in both, but these screenshots and videos doesnt work for a comparision, cuz the cam position is different in both scenes(maybe was intentional by crytek) so the lights, shadows and post procesing effects are rendered differently. PS3 version has more solid colors, but itsnt sharper, it just the scene segment of the screenshot in the 360 that is in movement. In Crysis when you move, you get motionblur effect fullscren with high density, thats why PS3(still) looks sharper and the 360(moving) looks blurrier. Now, it seems 360 has better lighting effects and texture deep(something seen in every multiplatform game), but ps3 has some more detail at distance(In Hawx happens the same). Whos better, we can't tell with these videos and pics, we must wait until a game is released to make a full direct comparision. What is for sure is that either version is superior than killzone 2 effects.

the ps3 version is far better, the 360 tries to blur the details even on the video on the other article the ps3 outshines the 360

These are captures taken from the video. The slightest motion will create blur. These pictures don't do the engine justice, it looks so much better in motion.

Now bring me a game with it!!

@15.1: I'm with you. The character models they did show did not look all that bad just rough on the animations. I like the Killzone 2 character models better and the animations(specially the death animations) in KZ2 are sick!

You aren't even trying anymore, are you?

are you serial??? Personally I really dont care what console its better for, Its a multi plat engine which means that the 360 will "probably" benefit more from it as with most multi plat games.

Me personally, I like my PS3 software built from "dedicated" PS3 hardware. Uncharted, MGS4, KZ2, and GOW3. Thats just how it is. END OF DISCUSSION!

I could give a ratz a$$ about Crysis engine.
It will just encourage the dev community to make more FPS games which is the last thing this gen needs more of!

In my humble opinion of course *ahem

ok all i have to say is 360 fanboys are 12 year olds stop fighting with those stupid littlee coc,k suckers they are the most stupidest people on earth ... they cant agree that the ps3 version looks good not a lot lot better but the ps3 version is superior just look at the video

CryEngine 3 is to PS3 as Unreal Engine 3 is to XBox 360 meaning XBox 360 is better at handling Unreal Engine 3 but CryEngine 3 is better running on PS3 because when I saw the video of that guy in the nano suit stepping out the door pop ins in the XBox 360 version was showing the bush had pop ins the palm trees in the distance had pop ins and when I saw the tree falling it looked like it slowed down like it had frame rate issues!.

Wow!
PS3 version has the better outside. I mean, the first screenshot is hands down ps3, but...

360 version has better indoors. The 360 version was better in the second screenshot hands down.

Honestly i don't really care.

I took the mik earlier when the HD FOOTAGE was shown.

But it does look good on both consoles. It's at a very early stage.

Wait until there is more info, and alot more footage later on.

The person who said killzone 2 explosions are weak, ROFL.

Your a funny guy. And crysis are over the top.

Just like lost planet explosions. Way Way over done.

Looks shiitty on both

get a PC

let's not forget that they both look damn good. But as with everyone else is saying, and it is quite clear, the PS3 version of this engine has the edge. Not only did Crytek say this, but it is apparent on these videos as well. It is a lot sharper and has more draw distance, quite obvious in the jungle screen comparison.

Also, people forget that the PS3 has better HDR capabilities. This is why the PS3 lighting is a lot stronger in some of the scenes. The PS3's RSX is capable of rendering full 128-bit HDR lighting whereas the 360's Xenos can only output 64-bit HDR lighting. This is why the PS3's lighting is more intense, as seen in the alley scene (also in a lot of cases in the video).

The Alley Scene, I have to give it to Xbox 360 (simple scene)
The Xbox 360 scene has more textures more "level" IN the level and has better light sources that look more gradient and realistic, while the light source for the PS3 looks blocky and linearly placed.

The Island scene should go to PS3.. for some reason the PS3 has better details within the draw distance, at a farther range+ better looking/more foliage.

The Xbox version shows no plant material on certain rocks in the background, while the PS3 also looks a tad bit sharper.

In the end we will need footage/Hi-Res photos from Crytek to make any proper fanboy claims of which is superior looking, because right now it's a toss up.

Because KZ2 wins

"Yerli went on to describe how the engine is being built to perform across platforms. "The CE3 runs currently at more or less the same quality bar. I say more or less because the engine still optimizes itself to power of the platforms' intrinsics. So the PS3 will run slightly better here, it'll look and feel probably the same, but the engine is diverting computation needs to power subsystems available to the PS3, and the 360 differently, and PC differently."

also see the pics, definitely looks better on the PS3

http://www.postimage.org/Pq...

http://www.postimage.org/Pq...

hah!
look at the grasses on the hill in the back... PS3's is sooo much better.

look at the grasses on the front, PS3's is more sharp...

dont comment, just see it...

Might i add, that these pics are not like the video i just watched. The video was much better looking in both Xbox and PS3. Also might i add that the PIC of the Xbox is zoomed in? Might i add that it may contribute to some blurriness. Also i like to point, out in a previous post too, the Xbox 360 symbol at the bottom is blurry as well, could that be because someone tampered with them? I think so.... Otherwise its freaking awesome graphics and best of luck to them

ps3 blows this away, glad to own a ps3

Who will be able to exploit this engine and make a exclusive game first...I'm pretty soure EA will have some type of multiplat Crysis coming soon, it will no doubt look amazing the gameplay however won't necessarily be anything to sing about but the point is this engine will attract alott of attention, who will be the first to utilize it for a game...sony tends to go exclusively with their in house stuff so we'll see what the future holds.

JOY

...It looks impressive on both consoles?

I can't usually tell the difference when these type of comparison screen shots and video pops in.
But, A/c to these screen shots I can easily tell PS3 version looks better but show us some real game.
I don't play comparison, I play games.

say what you whant to say but please tell me whats crysis is running on right now a standerd dvd rom thats what kills me about the whole cell chip and blue ray thing no Games on a pc uses blue ray so just tuck yo chain in befor DEE BO COME PUNK YOU LIKE THE GIRLS YOU GUYS ARE

This makes me want to cry! lol get it? cry XD
Okay....(slaps self)

Well beside some very minor shading details I see no difference.
Regardless Its a step in the right direction for both consoles.
Now all the Xbox fanboys can come out with their Idiotic rants saying:
"I told you the xbox could have good graphics too"

Honestly I'm just impressed that either console can run this software, granted its still a downgrade, but its fricking Crysis.

Edit: Upon further examination of both the video and the provided images, I can tell you that this shows the standard debate in the terms of graphics.

The Ps3 version seems to accel In the more basic lighted environments, where shadow and shading are easily regulated. This is evident as the outdoor examples, with reletivly simpler lighting schemes, look far superior, while the confined In the more shaded forest, seemed to offer up a very undefined form of shading where certain images will cut off at irregularities or be blurred by having multible intersecting shadows. Another strong point of the PS3 is the depth it displays in the outside areas, It is able to show a considerably more detailed horizon in the few outdoor scenarios it was displayed in, This creates a slightly more elevated field of view that would be fairly significant in larger maps.

The Xbox seems to be more proficient in the indoor setting with a greater ability to create an accurate contrast between the light and the dark ares. It also is able to handle multiple light sources with greater accuracy, allowing even convoluted lighting situations, as depicted in the alleyway, show a clear difference in the effects of the fidelity of the shadow. Another aspect which is strongly related to the shadow, Is the emmision of light, the xbox version is able to depict an accurate portrait of a radiant light source, while the PS version seems to lack the scaling of light, which causes it to make the definition of light and dark very rigid. The xbox seems to handle more compact and complicated maps at a higher quality, while the PS is more proficient in robust open areas with simpler lighting.

Resolution wise There is no appreciable difference.

I would say that they seem to have a few minor strengths and weaknesses, but are ultimately the same.

ps3 rules now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

in the first pic ps3 owns xbox .. in the second pic, the xbox pic looks better... but why on the ps3 pic, it has more light put on? o_O
anyway...
Killzone 2 still is the king at graphics.. n only with 60% of ps3's power...

OH by the way, crytek said cryengine looks better on ps3 - so that means epic fail for xbox360 on this news*

The PS3 definitely has the 360 beat on the first shot there. Has nothing to do with the clarity, because the 360's shot looks like it was taken while the camera was moving. The real difference can be seen on the mountains in the distance. Far more detail on the PS3.

The alley shot, however, is a different story. The shadows, and lighting in the PS3 version is horrible, in my honest opinion. The lighting from the spotlight seems to create a perfect square of crazy-bright light, and then just switch to total darkness, whereas the 360 version looks far more realistic.

My opinion.

LOL.. look at this article from the Ghostbusters dev:
http://www.joystiq.com/2008...

"The PlayStation 3 has seven processors and the 360 only has three, so seven versus three means you can do a lot more on the PS3."

hahahahah... the ps3 has 7 processors.. lol of course.. and 5 graphics cards also.

PLase stop with these 1 year old links which got already confirmed as FAILED.

cool to see that we now discuss which version looks slighty better.
Anyways this engine blows KZ2 away in terms of details and only THIS is important that the 360 still can handle graphics which blow KZ2 away.

DOnt say now that we will se the first game in 2001.. cause you also talked about Kz2 at the launch of the ps3.. and you waited and waited 2 years until you got the first game which was on par with the 360.

"Killzone 2 still is the king at graphics.. n only with 60% of ps3's power... "

What a retarded comment. I think you didnt go to school did you?

U know from now on they should just switch the 360 & the ps3 marks & then like 5/10hour later(When the war is over) switch back then we'll see what the fanboys have to say to get out of this mess.

PS3 version will suffer from frame rate just like it always does.

sorry guys i had to react

"You can tell there isn't as much complex processing with light going on in the PS3 version in pic 2, the fog is missing in the PS3 version and you can see the foliage on the mountains across from the body of water.
"

Ghoul says: you sir dont know s...t you dont have a clue what your talking about and everytime you post you post made up bs. its allways the same you come with made up mumbo jumbo and try to make it sound professional, in fact you only try to bash the ps3 with your nonsense.

boy im sick of you... ignore.

---------------------

Hey Ghoul why don't you try to prove him wrong then, instead of ranting like a little girl.

this is a bad comparison there not even the same pictures ones further and one is close of course there going to look different besides they both look great so really WHO CARES!.

To those who say the lightning is weeker on the PS3 city picture:

http://www.crytek.com/techn...
"Real-time Dynamic Global Illumination

CryENGINE® 3 features a novel real-time dynamic global illumination solution, fully optimised for current and next generation platforms. For the first time – without pre-computation or geometric limits – you can experience light-bounces, colour bleeding and specular effects in a real-time game engine – unified for all static and dynamic objects."

If you don't now what this tech talk means, shortly, lightning on ps3 version si far better for now. In the 360 version it seems to lack the global illumination, color blending etc. At least for now, i'm sure while time passes they will get better optimized and get on even terms graphics wise but for now ps3 is clearly ahead.

Now that Jim Ryan is gone just need to remove Herman Hulst from his position! And maybe give Shuhei the position he deserved.

This gen hasn't been the best for games, last gen consoles are still out there and now there's been talk of the PS6 and Xbox Two for a year or so. Many games this gen will be ported to next gen and the cycle will continue. The re-release of the Neo Geo AES+, games on cartridge for £70 ($95), gaming is going back in time. Gaming has gone pricing mad with the high cost of games, consoles and controllers. The men and women at the top are clueless.

It’s always interesting to hear behind-the-scenes stories like this, especially involving veterans like Shuhei Yoshida and leadership figures like Jim Ryan. That said, there are usually multiple sides to decisions at that level. It could be less about not “listening” and more about differences in long-term vision for PlayStation. Yoshida played a huge role in shaping the brand, so whatever the reason, his impact is undeniable.

If true, and I'm inclined to believe it is, it goes to show that Sony lost their way when they became more western/didn't respect the PlayStation origin story. Andrew House and Jack Tretton did great work, but they also didn't try to fundamentally change the PlayStation DNA. Ryan oversaw the death of Japan Studio and a live service direction.

I already figured this, good lord imagine if Shuhei took over instead, would've been a platinum era 😩

I miss the first three generations of PlayStation. The way they turned PS3 around, we knew they meant business. We were all worried for a bit there around launch. Eventually from 2008 they started shifting slowly. But since Yoshida was fired, it's never been the same. Still enjoy my PS5 daily. I got a backlog dating back to PS2 lol So I'm fine but new games aren't as appealing anymore.

It seems like we were thrown on to the worst timeline possible where everything is too expensive and the wrong people were put in positions that makes the world a shitty place. We could have had Shu as the head of PS but we got the shitty alternative. Same goes for everyone in power around the world. Doesn’t matter the company or country the majority of us got the shitty picks and the world is declining like never before. I do think PS can come out of this because of their studios, talent and IP but they need someone more in touch with gamers leading things like Shu was. They’re still the best place for console gaming imo but it could be much better than it is especially without the massive live service failures. The rest of the world I have a lot less hope for right now. Hopefully the pendulum swings back towards the good ole days but I’m preparing for the worst.

There goes illuminati distraction story

So now there's certifiable proof that Ryan was in fact "fired", as opposed to when it was first announced that he "retired", in order to save face.

There's another guy who recently "retired" as CEO of another large gaming company, after doing a dismantling job as lead for well over a decade.

seems legit, the business man, fires the one who has ideas to move the business forward.

Jim Ryan is the reason why we are entering year 6 since the PS5 launch and many of us don't feel like the PS5 has gotten started as yet.

I hope going forward, we will see a return to form.
