You know,

I look at these screenshots, which are rendered using high-end PC hardware and I get very excited about the next gen of consoles.

I had high hopes for this gen of consoles, but realistially, we have been restricted to 720p gaming and very good, but not outstanding, graphics on the ps3 and 360.

The hardware required for maximum crysis settings will be standard on all next gen consoles.

I really can't wait for 2012.

not to start a flame war or anything but I believe I've seen quite a few fanboys here at n4g claiming that a certain ps3 title's water blows this out of the water.

The screenshots speak for themselves.

I'm sorry but saying Uncharted has the best water effect in gaming does not make you a fanboy; it make make you seem opinionated, but really it just means you are observant. The way the water ripples as Drake moves through it, the way it reflects and refracts light, but mostly how the waves moved so realistically in the second jet-ski segment. All these thing make the water better than in Crysis.

However, the Crysis water does have better reflections.

The water does in fact move. Crysis was one of (if not) the first game to have a full 3d rendered ocean.

You mean actual water simulations? There's no games that have that yet. If you mean like the surface of the water moves around you, that's a whole different story.

I also have a hard time believing that you've actually played Crysis considering for one, you can't spell the title of the game right, and two, if you're playing on a Mac, chances are you're running fairly low settings and wouldn't get all the eye candy.

2 - That is some good water
I'd like to see it in motion though, just to make sure it reacts well to boats etc going through it. Uncharted's water was fantastic so I expect Uncharted 2's water to look even better

Believe it or not. I actually think the water effects in Halo 3 are pretty good. I have tested the water effects numerous times in both the campaign and online on the Valhalla map, and although the rest of the game can use a lot of work, the water is quite decent.

I got like 5 disagrees, which is okay because in hindsight I think the people who read my comment thought I was implying that the water in Halo 3 looks as good as in Crysis. No way in hell do I think that. The water in Halo 3 is downright cartoony when compared to Crysis, but I merely pointed out that the water in Halo 3 seems decent to me in comparison to the rest of its graphics.

people being dumb. The water in Halo 3 looks really good, the devs stated many times how awesome the physics were regarding water. I loved dying and watching my body float along.

I have both PS3&360, and the water in Uncharted was the best I've ever seen so far. Bioshock was cool, Halo 3 was decent, even the water in Death Or Alive 4 was good. But when you play Uncharted you say 'Damn, now that's some water'. I trust Crytek though, these guys know what they're doing.

10,000x4862? what the hell kinda resolution is that!? lol...Anyways

Crysis wins best overall water. But Halo 3, Uncharted, Bioshock all have awesome water.
