[citation][nom]gellert[/nom]I really enjoyed Crysis 1, and can't wait to play Crysis 2 no matter what the graphics. Ofcourse I'd like them to be better then 1, but even if its the same or slightly cut back, the city setting should be so radically different that we won't be able to compare to the extent of another jungle game...[/citation]
Oh man you liked Far Cry 2 more than Crysis? I got bored of Far Cry 2 after the 100th jeep I was driving was destroyed at the same checkpoint that respawned 2 minutes after I drove past and cleared it out. It had potential, but man, checkpoints repopping too quickly and the sheer number of jeeps I lost was getting sooo redundant I eventually turned it off and never went back.
I found Crysis far more fun.

Crysis is the best company out there coming up with best grafic results for pc and consoles. I can't wait to put my hands on crysis 2

Fixed that sentence for you Cevat.
And for those that are questioning the quality on consoles if you run crysis 1 on your pc in dx9 mode no you wont notice much of a difference... but if you run it in dx10 on your pc you will notice a huge difference on consoles. Consoles are currently running dx9 cards (7800 in the ps3 and x1900 in the haxb0x) so if you wanted any eye candy above what dx9 provides ... sorry.
this is great news. i don't like taking my computer every where i go. laptops just never cut it for me. i enjoy the portability of consoles...

[citation][nom]afforess[/nom]In English: "We sacrificed graphics on the consoles so console fanboys can pay $10 dollars more for the same game with worse graphics than the PC. Brilliant!"[/citation]
You forgot "We want more money and will in the end switch to a console company who ports to the PC."

Judging by the console screenshots posted only a few days ago on this site, I have only one thing to say: Lolno. Uncharted 2 is still on top.
Why I dont like console. Ok it costs 200$ so what. I cant do anything more with it , only play. It is designed only for playing games. Console grafics is on stand still because hardware is always the same.Maybe I want to make a mod for my game or something like that ,I cant do that. Main reason I dont like consoles is because of limitations they have. Instead of console I would rather buy 500$PC which can be upgraded if I want to (and I bet has more firepower then console). Grafical quality is at level that I want to. And I can do some other stuff not related to gaming.
[citation][nom]kennyforgames[/nom]Quote :Graphics aren't everything. I was impressed with Crysis' graphics, but the gameplay was dull and disappointing. It didn't appeal to me like Far Cry did. It's not the kind of game I'd ever want to play again except maybe to test drive a new system to see how it handles the game. I expect Crysis 2 to be more of the same.yes, obviously grahpics aren't everthing, but eyecandy is just most important for almost everyone here. I never enjoy playing RPG games with my gameboy.[/citation]
If that's really your opinion, you've identified yourself as a complete idiot. But, at least, you're open about it.
People with a brain prefer the mental stimulation of an intriguing game, not "eye-candy", to use your gay term. It can be pretty, but ultimately, if it's not stimulating in any other way, it's just not going to keep people interested. Ms. Pacman was played a lot more than any of the much more visually advanced games made now (although I never liked it), so game play is pretty important.
For the people whining about PC games and whatnot, just keep in mind that a company that can also sell their product on the much more lucrative consoles makes it more plausible for them to keep making games for the PC. By creating separate engines for the consoles, it means a lot of their development costs for the PC are shared, making it more profitable to keep making PC games. The only issue would be if they started on the consoles and did a simple port, but it sounds like they have separate development teams for each platform, so presently is probably not a concern.

[citation]The PS3 CAN do AA, but because its "RSX" is simply a cut-rate G71, it can't do AA+HDR, and the developers have always chosen HDR.[/citation]
I'm not sure where you're getting your facts, but the RSX is not "simply a cut-rate G71." It's not the same exact chip as some minor modifications were made at Sony's request - not to mention the RSX is designed to make use of the significantly higher bus bandwidth available on the PS3 as compared to the first-gen PCIe bus of that time. But even if it were exactly the same as a PC-variant G71, those have no problems running HDR and MSAA simultaneously. Take FF13 for example. The mode it runs at on the PS3 is 1280x720 at 2X MSAA. And that game does make use of HDR lighting as well. (http
/www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-final-fantasy-xiii-face-off?page=1) I think you might be referring to the issues the Source engine had on Nvidia cards when they first added HDR support (HL2: Lost Coast). When that first came out, only ATI cards could run MSAA with HDR, whereas only one or the other could be enabled with an Nvidia product. But they eventually got MSAA+HDR working on Nvidia within a few patches. And the Geforce 7800 series (G70, G71, etc) were the predominant cards from Nvidia at that time.
I'm not a fanboy for any one platform. I own both a PC and a PS3 and own the original Crysis along with Far Cry and Far Cry 2 on PC. Crysis 2 will undoubtedly look best on current-gen gaming hardware compared to console hardware that is 5 years old.
That being said, I've been impressed with what they've been able to do with the PS3 as of late - using the additional Cell cores to add graphical features and effects and quality of those effects far beyond what the RSX alone is capable of rendering (such as in Uncharted 2). Saying that the PS3 is limited to DX9 level effects is not entirely correct, especially if Crytek is stating that they are making full use of all the hardware on each respective platform. If they get Crysis 2 on the PS3 running and looking anywhere near as well as Uncharted 2, I'll be impressed.
From a gameplay perspective however, FPS games typically are most enjoyable on a PC, as full mouse and keyboard support and and and actual server browser for online play are hard to do without (if you are used to having them available).

At the time of its release the PS3 had the most advanced graphics of any desktop computer or gaming console. The PS3 has more than enough horse power to play Crysis and Crysis 2 at maximum detail and 1920x1080 resolution.

Have you seen Grysis 2 video in youtube? The difference between DX11 and DX9 is not a big at long distance anyway, so console versions are just fine. The good thing is that PC-version will/should be better. Something that we have not seen for a while, with direct console ports.
Resolution allso play big role. The consoles can not match the PC in resolution, but they still can look reasonable good.
All in all, it's good to see for a while some programs that can define and stretch the graphic boundaries! It's nice to see some games that even next generation GPU's are trouble in handling. We are still a light years away from photorealistic graphick. Allso in PC world, well in realtime graphics at least.
