It actually is when you take into consideration whats going on behind the scenes with the Cryengine.
There is only so much you can do with 5 year old technology and 512 megs of ram....
Stupid is as Stupid does.....
Hmmm...Subhd by a fraction OR a game that DOES not use HDR...Real Time global Illumination and uses NOA32 as hacks for HDR. Opps. That's right. KZ2/3 does that.
Fyi. If KZ3 used those effects with the size of the levels and interaction with objects like in Crysis 2, you can bet your ass KZ3 would be Subhd.
Ask yourself WHY GG did not use real HDR in it sgame and REAL TIME lighting then?
I will let you figure that one out.
Dude you're in EVERY SINGLE Crysis thread bringing up KZ3.
Someone is insecure it seems....
KZ3 does look better overall, however the Cryengine is doing o much more than the KZ3 engine so give props to Crytek for pulling this off on consoles.
Let me ask you this neomatrix909...
Does KZ3 use HDR?
Does KZ3 use Real Time Global Illumination?
Does KZ3 use its lighting in Real time in general?
Does KZ3 have the same sort of interaction with the environment as Crysis 2?
Does KZ3 have the same size levels as Crysis 2?
I will let you figure it out...Opps..that's right. You never played Crysis 2
"guy in the kick-ass suit!"???" Was this written by Canadians?"
Now if it said:
"I sleep with my momma and have no teeth..."
Then it would be written by Americans....
Looks great...at least from these videos. Crytek know their stuff....but I am still pissed at how they treated the PC version.
It does look great on these consoles and that scares and pisses off the people we all know.
Now only if they OWNED the company to care
LOL. Nothing going on in that video? Oh god.
Lets take a stab at this shall we?
If this were a PS3 exclusive your comment would be quite different.
The reality is Crytek did a great job with this game on the Xbox360 and consoles in general for what this engine is doing.
I find it interesting its PS3 fanboys saying otherwise. But then again we all knew this would happen if Crysis 2 turned out to be decent anyways so continue on.....
You are preaching to the choir. The reality is Crysis 2/Cryengine is performing tasks the KZ3 engine is NOT doing. However if you state this on this site, you lose bubbles and get disagrees up the ying yang.
All one has to do is research the capabilities of the Cryengine then listen to what GG said what the game engine for KZ2/ does and its capabilities.
At that point you will see that the Cryengine is performing tasks above and beyond what the current KZ3 engine is doing.
The no longer untapped market...
KZ3 does look better...
...and it should. It lacks HDR, and most of its lighting is not in real time.
Does not have the size of the levels in Crysis 2 and does not have Real time global illumination among other things. So give Crysis 2 some credit.
It does not look as good, but the engine is doing more.
As an option this is awesome news. How can anyone complain when this would be an option? Good grief people.
I agree neomatrix909 that KZ2/3 look better, however is KZ2/3 using the same type of technology under the hood as the Cryengine for Crysis2?
Price is relevant to the size of your wallet.
There is almost no difference in multi-platform games on consoles.
If there is a difference its so small its not even worth mentioning it.
These consoles essentially have almost the same amount of power...the PS3 more but its nothing like a landslide as some people on this site would like to suggest.
KZ3 looks better than Crysis 2. Its a given. Anyone saying otherwise is fooling themselves. This should not be a debate at all. Just look at the comparison videos. KZ3 looks better.
Now saying that, how would KZ3 look if it had the same type of large level designs as Crysis 2 AND ACTUALLY use HDR in real time with Real time Global Illumination that KZ2/3 does not have with the type of interaction with the enviroment? I think the results would be different....
The tech...
So the KZ3 engine uses Real Time Lighting?
Does it use Real Time Global Illumination?
Does it use HDR?
And the Shadows in Crysis ARE Real Time. All the Time. Read the tech briefing on the Cryengine 3.
All those things I mentioned above for the Cryengine 3 that are in Crysis 2, do NOT exist in KZ2/3.
KZ3 does not use HDR. Most of it's lighting is pre-calculated and NOT in Real Time. Read the tech briefing behind the making of KZ2/3.
