"As Crysis 2 receives a free update to allow Direct X 11 support for PC gamers with powerful rigs, we wonder if the elitist set ups are really worth being envious of as we compare screenshots from the Xbox 360 version of Crysis 2 with some DX 11 screenshots of the game on PC. There are differences, but are they stark enough to warrant the kind of posturing PC gamers want to exude. The PC screens might not be the best quality they could be, but the comparison against our Xbox 360 shots are telling enough. We also question whether talk of new hardware in the console market is actually needed at this juncture considering how well Crytek has managed to squeeze some excellent performance from the Xbox and PS3's five year old hardware."
Featuring the complete nanosuit experience, The Crysis Trilogy has now joined the EA Access vault as a title that's free for those that subscribe to the EA service on Xbox One consoles.
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?
It supposed to add more realistic light Not actually more light effects and explosions
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.
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.

Thats one hell of a comparison. But coming back to the article. Yes we do need a new hardware as imo the current gen is aging out.
the need for new hardware is not only graphic based
Pc gets updated every time with new cpu and gpus,rams and so on.
But consoles are not.
this isn't even a comparison, it's an outright slaughter.
There's hardware out there. Go put a rig together.
