Crysis 2: PC vs. Xbox 360 & PS3 - Singleplayer Graphics Comparison

Here's another huge graphics comparison for Crysis 2. Shots are from the singleplayer campaign and it's PC vs. Xbox 360 and of course PS3. PC wins, 360 looses. No question.

"Die schlechteste Optik ist erneut auf der Xbox 360 zu finden."

once again the 360 version delivers the worst graphical experience.
I didn't know that...

esperanza5539d ago

true... just take a look at the ugly textures on pic 1... PC ftw.

Pixelated_Army5539d ago (Edited 5539d ago )

Light levels are over saturated and the dark areas hide texture detail on the 360 version. if not for the slightly higher rez textures, the 360 would be total garbage. And when you add the screen tear to that list, it's just a big bowl of yuck.

A pretty game like Crysis 2 you want to see it's visuals and not have anything ruin the experience... you definitely won't get that with the 360 version.

lol at PS3 fanboys so bitter that the 360 version has a consitently better framerate throughout the game . PS3 version is last, fact.

callahan095539d ago

They're the same. Good god. There's some benefits and drawbacks in both versions, both are so hardly noticeable that anybody who just buys one version of the game is never going to have to worry about whether they made the wrong decision.

ThanatosDMC5539d ago

He cant accept that since he finally has something good to look at.

BK-2015539d ago

The difference is menial and the 360 has more screen tear so it evens out.

For the curious PC gamers I've got plenty of screens here http://steamcommunity.com/i...

Might spoil places so at our own risk :)

Pacman3215539d ago

Honestly so many comparisons of this game now, can't we all just be friends and say the game looks equal on consoles?

B1663r5539d ago (Edited 5539d ago )

Well the point of contention is, C2 is the best looking game on consoles(not only does ign say that but cvg is saying it is best looking game as well) , and it runs 3fps faster on the xbox.

http://www.computerandvideo...

Having said that, ~sometimes~ when you engage stealth mode while in direct veiw of enemies, it breaks their ai, and they keep walking towards where you were and if they get hooked on the landscape they are easy to walk up to and kill... Getting in their cone of vision fixes them and they run around and try to kill you again. But if they are pointed at a wall...

But anyhow, there it is, and that is why all the butt hurt crying...

EDIT: learn to read, but not only does ign say that it is best looking game, but so does CVG.

BK-2015539d ago

Sorry but 1 editor from IGN won't change the fact that Crysis 2 is NOT the best looking game on consoles. KZ3 runs at a higher resolution and a very stable 30 fps with NO screen tear while having plenty of chaos in the background. I can't wait for Digital Foundry to do their analysis and shut you idiots up.

nowgamer Comparison Better and it's showing ps3 version is best u can go to the site and make sure u download all images and see the truth ! F*** ign

YouTube’s members ‘Digital Dreams’ and ‘Jose cangrejo’ have shared some videos, showcasing Pascal Gilcher’s Reshade mod – which adds Ray Tracing/Path Tracing effects – in some really old games such as Star Wars The Force Unleashed, Crysis 2, RAGE and Resident Evil 6.

I'm still learning how to look for the differences. At first I was focusing on shadows for some reason but I don't think that changes much, is it reflections that change?

rashada072527d ago (Edited 2527d ago )

It is supposed to be simulating how light actually works- so yes if light is reflecting off a surface accurately it should show reflection or an effect that matches what you are looking at in the environment. Next time you play a game look at a puddle of water there may be just a "baked" in texture that if you aren't paying attention seems like it is reflecting but it isn't. I would say though if the light is reflecting more accurately I would think that would give more accurate shadows as well.
I am still not 100% sold on it- it looks okay but I can't get over the hardware price jump for better reflections..

Taz X142527d ago

While games won't look immensely better, it opens up more possibilities overall. Understandably, the price jump is huge. But, that can be said for being at the forefront for any new technology. I'm currently using a 2080ti and while I've played a few games that enable it, the gpu also plays everything else incredibly well so it's not like you're buying this tech for ONLY that option. Enthusiasts will pay top dollar to check out the newest things, but this will eventually become an everyday consumer and by then they'll have optimized and become a lot cheaper.

warriorcase2526d ago

Ray/path tracing can be used how the developer wants it to be. Tracing can be used to calculate shadows/lighting, reflection and even audio, where audio waves are calculated on the bounce off material types to simulate enviroment and echos accuratly.

Should also keep in mind that this ray/path tracing system is different and less accurate option from Nvidias RTX branded type. McFly's is a reshade that layers over the top of the game and therefor the quality will vary drastically. For example you can see nice reflection in the Star Wars demo here but it then introduces colour clipping with the light saber. On a video of GTA 5 for example it was incorrectly projecting a reflection of a red car onto the road which caused a very faint red glow on the ground around the car.

If you want to see a good example of a game developed with ray tracing reflection and lighting in mind then you could look up the youtube video of "Control - Exclusive E3 RTX GAMEPLAY Trailer".

DigitallyAfflicted2527d ago

It supposed to add more realistic light Not actually more light effects and explosions

traumadisaster2527d ago

I hate to say it but I’m fine with fake lights, shadows, reflections. I just kind of like the effect, it’s also great it saves resources for other things.

I’ve been checking out some original Xbox games on x360/x1x and the engine has fake light streaming in through a stained glass window, and I love it even though I know it’s not real time lighting. Heck it even shifts as I move about.

I’ve about convinced my self rt and hdr just doesn’t work for me. Before hdr I would even complain damn why are the headlights killing me they are so bright.

I notice most frame rate, then jaggies, then resolution; with the last two interchangeable depending.

Other day watched an enthusiast rave over 4k and the poor guy was in 1080p. I played the same game the night before and thought wow this is clean, I wonder if it’s 4k, but knew differently and I thought wow even resolution is not always important. The next day he apologized and was surprised he could be fooled.

RaidenBlack2526d ago

EA should have released the Crysis Trilogy Remaster for this gen.

FGHFGHFGH2521d ago

How come the lightsabers don't give off any light? Even in the EA star wars game the guy uses it to light up a dark cave. I guess if it is using frostbite it will support rtx cards.
