Let the graphics wars begin. Cevat Yerli, chief executive of Crytek, argues that his company’s upcoming game, Crysis 3 (to be published Feb. 19 by Electronic Arts) will “set the benchmark” in 3D graphics for games for the next two years. He believes the PC is racing ahead of the consoles now in terms of the beauty of its graphics.

Except killzone is limited by the Ps3
You're aware that the PC has more exclusives than all current-gen consoles combined, right?
Now, if Sony or Microsoft really push out some amazing graphics in some of the games they launch their next consoles with then Crysis 3 may only hold the graphics crown for a year or so. But that remains to be seen.
Crysis 3 does look absolutely amazing.
Very High, DOF, 16x AF, high resolution?
Metro at max is probably the most demanding game I have.
I can certainly get a playable frame rate at max (@ 1080p, that is), but that's not a high resolution by PC gaming standards, and it's ridiculous that I need this much power for a game that largely takes place in corridors. Metro is certainly not a well optimized game. I'd hate to think what you'd need to get a stable 60 fps at a very high resolution at max. Metro is a great looking game, but it demands about 3 or 4 times more power than it should for what you get.
The impression I got on the internet was essentially the greatest game ever, Yes the graphics are incredible the best i've ever seen in a game but aside from that I found the gameplay to be quite bland.
For example the weapons felt underwhelming or indistinguishable , the suit was laughably overhyped the only power up that was ever useful and actually had a general impact on the gameplay was the invisibility, engaging the enemy was a chore rather than a rewarding or fun experience , further exemplified by the Aliens which were an absolute chore to engage.
Really the game just felt like I was walking from point A-B rather than engaging in compelling level design, this became more apparent when I used the invisibility, the experience at that point pretty much boiled down to the equivalent of walking through a corridor of pretty paintings. IMHO Crysis is one of the most overrated games of all time.
Now I'm all for pushing technology as much as possible, but c'mon Cevat, a little humbleness never hurt anyone.
The Last of Us looks incredible and on just PS3! You don't hear Naughty Dog bragging about it every chance they get and look at the praise, awards and nominations they've already achieved!
If they just shut up, released their game and let people see how good it is for themselves, they wouldn't have to go like this then get burned when Metro Last Light kicks it's ass.
I personally felt even Metro 2033 outshone Crysis 2 when both were maxed out.
Crytek: the masters of regrettable BS statements.
I'm not so sure about that. Crysis 2 looked pretty damn good at max with the DX11 and high res patches.

That is a long wait ;/
Or the is been a prick and he meant that crysis 4 will come two years after crysis 3?
On pc. PC. Sorry did you read the interview?
No, of course you didn't. You just looked at the headline and decided to churn out the old Guerrilla games /naughty dogs/santa Monica line that ps3 fanbois always churn out.
Metro 2033 was a corridor shooter, and was boring.
I don't doubt the new game will be the same.
Metro is demanding because it's poorly coded. optimization never happened.

A lot of what makes metro look pretty is lighting and filters.
Also Crytek are selling their engine as much as their games, so of course they're going to boast about it's graphical fidelity over anything else.
Personally I found all of their games to be very enjoyable too. Far Cry was great, then Crysis was pretty good also, Warhead had decent MP, Crysis 2 was hit and miss for many but I really enjoyed it - Crysis 3 looks to take the best of Crysis 1 and 2, I'm sure it'll be a good game.

Games are meant to be played on release at 60+FPS, they focus too much on graphics, with (imo) not very good gameplay.
Give me a Valve game any day that performs really great at 1920x1080 and a steady high framerate over a game that isn't as good and just better to look at.
Off Topic: How the hell did I loose two bubbles in 4 days when I've never been bubbled down once. Seriously this sites a joke sometimes, I better get them back
because if that what he mean then there is something really wrong with him
i think he's talking about consoles
if that's the case then he's right
Don't disagree...it's the truth, thats why Crysis 2 was a huge let down that year.
EDIT: Belo
Yeah that was MODS, not Crytek
Crysis 2 was amazing with DX11 + High resolution textures, and certain graphical mods
You don't have to spend too much time thinking. Cevat clearly says that it's the PC version which will be the benchmark in graphics for the next two years, kinda like how the first Crysis was.
(Unless if you're referring to Jinkies by 'he', in which case, his comment doesn't do much to counter Cevat's claim)
That aside, it's probably because you posted something stupid. My opinion is often controversial but usually well-thought out. I mean, I might love Playstation as a brand, but I'm not stupid enough to argue The Last of Us, as graphically superior to the likes of the PC version of Crysis 3.
I've lost a bubble a couple of times but it came back. Just make sure you say something intelligent every once in a while, I know that might sound hard.
I am actually disappointed with crysis 2 graphics .. the first one was better.
and also the physics (you were able to do some crazy stuff in crysis 1)
and untill today it has no match on sonsoles untill the last of us
but on pc it's another story
crysis 3 DX11 pc will look better than every single console game including the last of us and god of war ascension
of course it won't
this is crytek after all... they make gfx and forget pretty much every thing else
and this talk will bite them in the A$$
like some here on N4G said before
"good dev's talk ....great dev's do"
There's a lot of PC games that are as fun as console games and have better graphics than everything consoles will ever have
Alternatively, if I strike lottery, I'll buy the GTX 690 to play it. Lol
Seems like they took a page from Far Cry 3s book with how hunting plays apart with everything. Not necessarily a bad thing either if implemented correctly.
It's going to be pretty tough to remain the graphics king for 2 years. I have my doubts about that, but I am glad to hear that they are pushing the envelope. The thing is that the new consoles are going to come out next year, which tends to raise the bar quite a bit as far as graphics standards. It will be much easier to make a multiplatform game with a higher top end on PC if you have DX11 consoles that have substantially more power. Those cool "next gen" engines that have been demoed will start becoming the platform for actual games.
And everything will beat it's gameplay, story, music, playability, etc..
and i was so looking forward to ps4 and xbox 720. guess i will cancel my pre orders and just what 2 more yrs LOL
On consoles nothing will top God of War: Ascension. Just wait until we see what the final code looks like, it's going to blow minds. I can't wait until they start showing more of the single player.
It may be the best graphics on PC. But it'll be the best graphics on PC for a corridor shooter. Generic and trivial.
Is that really much kop?
The thing I hated most about Crysis 2 was the very existence of the binoculars that showed your options. Crysis dropped you on an island(literally), gave you 4 suit powers, and let you figure out what to do. It also didn't have someone constantly screaming in your ear either.
It could be the best looking game ever, I still have zero interest in it at all.
No it really wasn't. Open World means you can traverse the entire game world without any restriction. You couldn't travel from later maps back to where you started.
What Crysis 1 did was give you very large linear levels. It feels very "open" but its not, and Crytek has even said as much.
I'm not hating on Crysis 1, its one of my all time favorites, an honor I don't bestow lightly.

"WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Oh I get you. No need to cry bud!
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
And his comments in interviews tend to get cherry picked for headlines, so it makes him look worse.
march, pffff.....theres a TON of pc games that will come out between then and dec. 31st
we have no way of knowing how amazing they will look
obviously crysis 3 will look better on pc than any console game, crysis 1 from 2007 maxed on pc looks better than any console game ever made, but, when you talk "the best graphics" anyone with half a brain knows you must be refering to pc and not 8 year old consoles
why do people keep saying "the last of us" and mentioning uncharted 3, those games look AMAZING for console games, but any oridinary AAA pc game from the last 5 years looks far better hands down
when we talk cutting edge tech, xbox360(2004 hardware) and ps3 (2005 hardware) should not even be thought of
i love my ps3 and 360, heck i still love my ds and psp, but i dont expect to ever be impressed by anything graphically on any of them, since uncharted 2 nothing on any console has made me think, wow, amazing graphics....so what though, they give me AMAZING gameplay
i still play pc games from 2001 that look bloddy terrible, but they are fun as hell, thats what counts
crytek, lets see some amazing gameplay to go along with those great visuals, first crysis and warhead were great games, crysis 2....mehh...it was ok, lets see you do something amazing visually and conceptually!
Why don't we let moders mode killzone 2 or uncharted 3 today? Will it be fair for me to say killzone 2 a 5years old game looks better.. I will sound stupid ane that's how you sound.
Guess what be exited that consoles will bring new tech ideas and games because most you will get them for pc to.
Pc high end card never reach 50% of their real capability and that is sad, you are been rip off.
Well, at lease the PC version will.
