Crysis vs. HAZE Visual Comparison

With heated debates over next gen comparisons and which titles provide better all around graphics, PSU thought it would be great to take one of the most beloved upcoming PC games, Crysis, and match it up against one of the more promising PlayStation 3 fall titles, HAZE.

Since both games include similar weaponry and futuristic style fighting, PSU thought they would be rightly suited for comparison. So without further adieu let the eye candy begin!

Crysis has way better lighting and textures, especially the trees. Crysis almost looks photorealistic where Haze looks worse than Gears of War.

You say that as if Gears looks bad enough...

Compairing a FPS to a third person game?

id dot entity6843d ago

Crysis all the way but who didn't expect that? Haze still looks great, but the leap Crysis made is too huge for 360 I think.

TheMART6843d ago

Make PS3 of it, because the game is leading on PS3, thus screenshots from that version...

BitbyDeath6843d ago

lol, the mart is telling the truth for once.

I think i see hell freezing over

gta_cb6842d ago

why dont you say something about the thread rather then trying to start a flamewar between people.

fenderputty6843d ago

is better looking. It's a freaking monster of a graphical game. Haze looks goog though. I'm happy it even come close. I also noticed that in Haze, the game looks like it's got a foggy/hazy/unclear/MGS4 look and feel to it. It's like the devs weren't going for the sharp, photorealistic look and feel.

fenderputty6843d ago

It's one of the reasons people have to use the "nectar". Otherwise, some of those enimies are HARD to see. I just pointed it out since the people above me didn't seem to take this into consideration.

bigmoney6176843d ago (Edited 6843d ago )

Not a chance HAZE. Look at that lush green dense forest, as opposed to the Haze, dry, and less detailed looking one. Also the Sunlight that peaks through the Trees...and the Shadows of the bushes.
..this look like the movie "PREDITOR" Where is Arnold?
Console games will never be able to keep up..
The disparity can only continue to grow.
How does it makes gamers feel about these comparisons, or at least knowing what we have under the TV is already outdated?

Playing it right now looks amazing! :D
so much fun, i hope they make a vr mod for crysis 2 / 3 too!

DivineHand125393d ago

This is amazing. This is the direction VR should go in to boost adoption. Since I have beaten every Crysis except 1, this is now a good excuse to correct that problem.

Crytek Wanted Crysis To Be "Future-Proof"

According to Crytek CEO Cervat Yerli, "I want[ed] to make sure Crysis does not age, that [it] is future proofed, meaning that if I played it three years from now, it should look better than today." Yerli and the team designed Crysis' highest graphical settings for the PC hardware of 2010 and beyond.

While Crytek has officially announced Crysis 4 is in development, nothing new has surfaced. For now, gamers' only way to scratch that itch is to play the Crysis Remastered Trilogy available on PC and consoles.

OG 2007 Crysis (not the remastered weirdo), is & will forever be a legend amongst the PC community.

PrinceOfAnger398d ago

This video will always be impressive to me, even for years to come. Some things here are better than games we have today, OG crysis is the best version!

RaidenBlack398d ago

OG Crysis physics, man ... amazing! Thanks for the reminder!

PrinceOfAnger397d ago (Edited 397d ago )

Looks really nice with VR mod too

FinalFantasyFanatic397d ago

I'm still shocked that it looks as good as it does today, puts some modern games to shame.

Profchaos396d ago

I thought the remaster was fine tbh some rough edges at launch but after some patches it's decent

I mean the lighting and physics still hold up extremely well. I still revisit it from time to time.

RedDeadLB397d ago

That CPU performance thing is preventing it.

isarai397d ago

Yeah unfortunately Crystek's decision to bet on the linear progression of clock speed in CPUs was derailed by the unforseen shift towards multicore CPUs. It just wasn't built with that in mind because that wasn't even in the conversation at the moment

DivineHand125397d ago

I remember when I tried to play Crysis with my Intel Pentium Dual core E2200 @2.2GHz , 4GB ram and GeForce 9400gt. I was a kid back then and that was the best I could do. I would get about 15 to 20 fps. When I over clocked the CPU to 2.8GHz I would get about 40fps. The experience wasn't good at all and it was the only PC game I could not run back then unless and put the settings on low. At that point the game went from cutting edge graphics to PS2 graphics. To this day I haven't completed the OG Crysis. I was able to complete Crysis 2 and 3 after building a new PC when I got my first job.

HyperMoused397d ago

Never played it, worth a try you think?

Profchaos396d ago (Edited 396d ago )

Worth a try just because it's the only game that lets you pick up a turtle on the beach and throw it at enemy soldiers that should have been a back of the box feature.

But nah seriously unless you're nostalgic for it I'm not sure if it will hold up

Crytek went so overboard on the Crysis tech and sent devs to photograph leaves in Haiti

"The shader work that came out of this was mind-blowing at times."

RaidenBlack410d ago

Amazing, often misunderstood
The dumb AI was deliberate, so that the players can explore and experiment with the world and all the features.

vTuro24409d ago

It really is. Most people only remember it for its graphics but the gameplay was equally amazing.

RaidenBlack410d ago

Hope they try to pour nearly same amount of dedication to the new Crysis 4

DefenderOfDoom2410d ago

Well worth the extra work ! I enjoyed all 3 Crisis games and would also love a new one .

JunonZanon410d ago (Edited 410d ago )

Still wish game development was overall this passionate and minutious about their projects. Obviously, there are still some great studios as exceptions.

LikAChicken409d ago

I’ll never forget Far Cry 2 and the amount of details they packed in.

Yea there were some issues with the gameplay loop and the sickness aspect but you could tell they really tried to nail details.

DivineHand125409d ago

I haven't beaten the first Crysis but I did play Crysis 2 and Crysis 3. I know some PC players were annoyed by the last 2 games being developed with consoles in mind but I believe it was an improvement. I had a great time with Crysis 3 to the point where I believe it was too short.
