Crysis 2 – What does the lack of PS3 footage mean?

Crysis 2 is less than 2 months away from release and so far, only footage and screenshots from the Xbox 360 version has been released.

So what could this mean? If you cast your minds back to Red Dead Redemption you’ll remember that up until its release, the Xbox 360 version was the one chosen for display and when the comparisons inevitably happened once it hit the shelves, the PS3 version was shown to be slightly inferior, graphically speaking.

[Kran]

It means that Microsoft could afford a Crysis 2 beta....

Do you honeslt think Crytek are gonna cancel the PS3 version?

hahahaha. Oh you're such a kidder.

[FailOverHero]

Cancel? Who said anything about any version getting cancelled? You went out and commented before reading the article didn't you? Lol you can tell me, I won't judge you, honest

[ChineseDemocracy]

Could be significantly better or worse, who knows?

I might have to hold off on this for a while, too many games coming out this year :S

[thereapersson]

They could just be taking longer with development in certain areas of the PS3 version, so they are not as likely to show it off right away. We do have the point the article makes about Crytek getting slightly better performance from the PS3 version, but as to why Crytek hasn't actually backed up their words with evidence is another guess entirely.

Either way, I think I might end up getting this on PC. I'm going to be upgrading my graphics card for Deus Ex 3, so I think it'll be a good idea to factor this game into my purchase.

[DualConsoleOwner]

because Killzone 3 looks far better than Crysis 2 on consoles.

hell. KZ2 looks far better than Crysis 2 on consoles

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

wow... a 2 year old PS3 exclusives looks miles better than Crysis 2 Console version...

[thereapersson]

Killzone has nothing to do with Crysis, yet somehow off-topic comments are allowed to not only propagate, but people don't report them as off-topic and instead reply to them with more of their own fanboy nonsense.

[captain-obvious]

its obvious sense that code name kingdom game came up
cryteck is on MS side
i mean the beta the damo of crysis and that game
its so clear

[Shepherd 214]

So several game developers are on the PS3's side, but its blasphemy for any one dev to lean towards the 360 some?

Talk about being stupid and biased.

[kancerkid]

I don't understand why PS3 players do not want this game to look as good and play as good as possible? I

Instead, they talk about how a game that is years old (KZ2) looks so good and this and that. Who cares! Why would you not want new games you have not played to death to be better, and different?

I am sick of hearing about KZ2. Everyone has played it already.

@kancerkid

Sick of hearing about KZ2? I think if the media and x360 fans hadn't gone all out on bashing the game to death in 2005-2007 we would've been able to prevent all this.

Me thinks you weren't here then and you don't know where all this started. This was a madhouse in 2005-2007. Nothing but biased propaganda against the PS3. The "I-told-you-so" that goes on around here today is fuelled with the unjustified hate PS3 and Sony recieved in the beginning of this gen.

[DelbertGrady]

@insomnium2 - The truth is that the reason Killzone 2 got criticized was because a big part of the PS3 fanbase hyped it up to be a Halo killer. You couldn't go into a Halo related article without them bringing up Killzone. According to them it was supposed to be the best FPS ever made. But it wasn't.
It was a good FPS game but with some flaws in it's story, controls and MP that kept it from being amazing.

[bluwulf]

@ Shepherd 214 ...

Of course Sony has a ton of devs on their side, They are called first party studios. Which is why people don't care. They have class, and are mature. This even goes for the sony third party companies.

Everyone talking about KZ2(not 3, lol) are pointing out the gigantic f`ing fact that Crytek claimed their engine could trump everything on the PS3.

This isn't the case, as is seen by the 360's footage. They bullshotted everyone with all these amazing tech demos that were more than likely ran on PC's behind closed doors or something. I was amazed by the Crytek stuff, I mean everyone knows that the unreal engine is an utter joke, its out dated rubbish. Anyone that claims Crysis 2 gets walked by the Unreal engine is blind and delusional, with that said... I actually know that there is a bit more software power to come out of the 360, it has been stagnated with the Halo engines & the unreal engines.. So thats why I gave it a shot...

But the fact is now here, we have a Crysis multiplayer beta that looks 100% underhwelming compared to Uncharted 2, MGS4, Killzone3, etc. These games all deserve to be brought up, because its what Crytek said they would do better than. Instead they are just shipping a limited scale city shooter with an invisible suit.

wow.

Its hilarious to see so many people being sick of KZ2's visuals. It was smeared so much by so many people, came out and walked all over everything so much to make Next-Gen fans claim that "graphics dont matter!" lol...

[Sarcasm]

I fail to see how any of this relates to Killzone?

I'm getting Crysis 2 on the platform that it was meant for, the PC.

[sjaakiejj]

@DelbertGrady

You're mixing up Killzone 1 with Killzone 2. Killzone 1 was hyped to be a halo killer, Killzone 2 wasn't. If you want to prove me wrong, show me where people were hyping it in that way.

[Kran]

Yeh basically. But admit it, how many in the comments did so too? ;P

[Inside_out]

Look, Sony doesn't want Crysis anywhere near KZ3...doesn't matter if it's good or not and BTW, it's quite good judging by the beta.

Unfortunately, you can't pick and choose when you want third party support. Without third part support, Sony is NOTHING.

I see some rather large cracks forming in the Sony/EA alliance and M$ should definitely be exploiting those. Sony is walking on dangerous ground here and are risking going back to the beginning of this gen where they thought there sh$t didn't smell and lost billions.

All M$ has to do is put some of there substantial money behind EA/Crytek for some exclusive timed dlc maps for crysis and Sony will be up the creek without a paddle. Battlefield 3 is coming soon...hmmm...repricussions will be also.

Crysis 2 doesn't release until the end of March. There's lots of room for both these games to exist...Maybe EA should bump it up to Feb 22 instead, see if Sony likes that. If this turns into a war, Sony will pay dearly.

BTW...the nonsense being spewed by the Sony camp on this and every other topic shows how immature and insecure that group is. Maybe if Crysis, COD, Battlefield, Madden and all the rest were exclusive to 360 you'd see how wrong pushing every Sony game as the best really is. Trying to chop down every other game to prop up a Sony exclusive is beginning to back fire...watch and see.

[Kalipekona]

@ bluwulf

You talk about underwhelming. MGS4 is underwhelming. The fact you hype it up to be some graphical monster makes me think you aren't a very good judge of graphics and makes your opinion completely worthless to me.

Just as one example, Dead Space 2 looks far better than MGS4 and that is a multiplatform game (which I am playing on the PS3, btw). MGS4 was sub-hd, had poor texture resolution, jaggie shadows and merely above average effects and animations relative to the best looking console games.

And as far as Crysis 2 is concerned, if you think it looks underwhelming compared to MGS4 you are just blind, nothing else more to say.

[thats_just_prime]

Seriously I cant believe no one as figured this out yet. Its a lot easier to port a game from the pc to the xbox. Meaning that the xbox version is probaly a lot closer to being done if it isnt done already

Crysis 2 PS3 Will Hit Graphical Ceiling

"I think with Crysis 2 you will see the quality bar being set at a very high level that games will struggle to excel. We’re aiming to set a whole new benchmark with that game for all PS3 games."

crysis 2 trying to set the bar in graphics on ps3 that other devs will find difficult to attain

killzone 2 currently the best looking fps on consoles

killzone 3 raising the bar from kilzone 2

i just want to see what crysis 2 will look like on ps3 since they were touting it like thatit would be devastating if they werent able to meet their talk

[DragonKnight]

The lack of footage means f*ck all. Other than they haven't made any footage for the PS3 version. Anything said on that webpage or here is speculation. Who cares if there is footage or not. Most of the time any footage that shows up isn't what the final version looks like anyway.

[Ares84PS3]

@cez of rage

Last time I've seen so much bullshit was in an article posted yesterday titled "Mass Effect 2 review, throwing a bone to PS3 fanboys, barley"

You should stop commenting for a while for your own good.

[deafwing]

huh?

[paintsville]

Of course they're not going to cancel the ps3 version. That would be stupid. Crytek is in business to make money. They're not going to alienate millions of potential customers. Wake up.

[bluwulf]

Kalipekona + 6h ago

You do realize you fail when you take 1 title out of the plethora of titles I mentioned, to attack? And claim I have no visual eyes? And do you really want to get into how "subhd" matters for gaming, because I can definitely break another leg for Alan Wake's substandard performance. Do we want to do this right now? You know full well you can only take parts of a game and compare to an entire PS3 package. And then those parts, also run on the PS3.

For s & giggles, feel free to remove it and compare Deadspace to Uncharted 2 & 3, or Killzone2&3, God Of War 3, whatever you want to do. And wait... lets not forget the ultimate point that you're just proving my point about no 360 games being able to hang, or even make it to the conversation.. just MULTIPLATFORM That run on the PS3...? that aren't even comparable in its entirety.

You want to go on record claiming that Deadspace's entire package trumps PS3 MGS4? Because thats going to be the biggest saddest stretch in all documented n4g debates & conversations, but christ, i've seen so many.. might as well just add it to the top of the pile.

MGS4 had a ton going on besides high res models, it had higher fidelity sound, post processing effects, scale, lighting, textures & surfacing, not just dark hall after dark hall, with stuff far away you cant interact with. "Low res effects" we are talking about the unreal engine here...Deadspace is one of the best offerings from the multiplatform world, hands down. No question about it, but if you want to pretend to be underwhelmed by a PS3 game, don't pick MGS4 please god no.

Crysis 2 is underwhelming compared to KZ2/3 God Of War, Uncharted. At no point is anyone in awe at the visuals of it, just 360 fans who have only seen Gears of War. My standards for visuals: GT5/Motorstorm2/Stalker/Crysis (pc)/Arma/Killzone/Uncharted/M LB/Heavenly Sword/Ratchet & Clank even Arkham Asylum did well, until you went outside. Do you really want to question that? With deadspace or any other retail title?

Respond.

[Shepherd 214]

I know Sony has first party studios, however studios like Insomnia and the studio that made Enslaved used to only be PS3 centric even though they are not first party. Now they are making multiplat titles. So Sony doesnt only have first party studios that side with them. And everyone here is having a hard time excepting that a studio wants to be a bit 360-centric for once. Its fanboyism and jealousy.

Btw, i never saw anything about how Crytek claimed its graphics engine "trumps" any kind of PS3 game. However i do remember them claiming it will rival the Unreal 3 engine as the primary engine of choice for multiplatform and exclusive titles. This may be what you are incorrectly referring to.

[BakedGoods]

It's 'cause they know it has nothing on Killzone 3, so they're targeting the 360 crowd more, making it the '360 Killzone'. If they release PS3 screens and people see flaws the PS3 crowd will drop it.

That being said, I'm really enjoying the beta--but graphically it has nothing on Killzone 3.

[wwm0nkey]

Yeah but still gameplay>graphics. Love KZ3 and Crysis 2 and will be getting both at launch.

[SJPFTW]

a game with good graphics but crap or mediocre gameplay is still a mediocre game. Example --> Killzone 2.

[SuperLupe]

Yeah kind of how the PS3 crowd dropped the "flawless" (sarcasm) COD MW2 and Black Ops right ?

[BakedGoods]

@wwm0nkey

I agree, but when Crytek markets Crysis 2's graphics as the second-coming of Jesus people will take a more critical look.

Meanwhile Guerilla's just like: "btw, Killzone 3's comin' out in Feb."

GG CryENGINE.

@SuperLupe

CoD's a different beast. Comparing the fanbase of CoD to Crysis is like comparing a cough-syrup addict to someone with a cold.

[ugo]

@BakedGoods
you couldn't be more right

[thereapersson]

Completely unnecessary, off-topic trolling.

[SeNiLesBack]

I don't see how he's trolling if BackedGoods brought up Killzone 3 as he did. SJPFTW had an opinion and I agree with him.

I really don't think SJPFTW would have said anything about Killzone if fanboys didn't smear their crap all over NAG!

Why can't people stay on topic and keep other games that are Exclusive out of this?!

On topic, Crysis could end up owning the Xbox 360 version as shown in the screen shot. We'll have to wait and see.

[badz149]

KZ2 gameplay is crap? yeah...that's why it got nominated and won several best FPS award in 2009, right? from your comment, you don't seem like someone who has played KZ2 at all or simply a CoD junkie! why bother commenting on games you haven't play at all?

[Simon_Brezhnev]

It just shows that crytek is not talented enough to max out one piece of hardware. Since their the so called graphics kings. I still think console devs are more talented if they can make old hardware look that good that should tell you something.

[SuperLupe]

Yes, MS have been paying Crytek and EA to not show PS3 footage /s

Anyways the fact that we havent seen any PS3 footage (at least I havent) since this game has been announced just sounds fishy.

Even last year at E3 it was the 360 version that was showcased and the PS3 version was nowhere to be seen.

But since its Crytek I tell myself they are good enough to make a proper PS3 version and Crysis 2 is too big a game to have a crappy PS3 version...but hey never say never when it comes to multiplats on the PS3.

[Tony-Red-Grave]

crytek did dhow that ONE footage of the ps3 version in games much earlier build nothing since.

[karl]

well.. it probably will look better on 360 like most multiplatforms..

i dont give a shit though.. kz3 will crush C2

[JsonHenry]

Who cares? This is Crysis people. The single player story should be good, and it will have top notch visuals on the PC. But on all platforms the multi will be mediocre.

And NO ONE is gonna tell a Sony fan that any game made or ever will be made looks better than KZ3. (even if it was better looking)

And before the insults come in - I think KZ3 is shaping up to be the best looking FPS on any console to date.

[Rainstorm81]

Your comment insists upon itself....

[JsonHenry]

Yes it does.

[ikkeweer]

It means, there's nothing to report on besides the psp2 right now, so sites are looking for anything.
Beats the top 2010's but only by a small margin.

[KotC]

You say MS is buying beta's right? Well wouldn't Sony also be "buying" betas like Dead Space? Help me out here I don't speek crazy or hypocrite.

[Jaces]

Who knows but I know for one that I'll be buying this not for graphics but the game itself. I've seen and played a little bit of the first and fell in love with it.

Graphics wise it won't matter, it's going to look weak compared to PC version.

[Gamer_Z]

It was the same thing with Black Ops, they didn’t show anything and when it came out (@_@) well I don’t even need to say...

[WhiteNoise]

It just means that Microsoft threw a bunch of money at crytek so as to give the illusion of it being a 360 centric game.

There has been no PC footage either. It doesn't mean anything.

M.S is throwing millions at multiplats to cling onto hope...

The game will be awesome on any platform.

Don't let the lack of a demo piss you off either.

Crysis is primarily an SP game. If you buy it, buy if for the SP.

@DualConsoleOwner

B.S

360 beta footage of crysis 2

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

It makes KZ3 look like crap.

Look at the low res textures of the guy in the KZ3 clip when he lifts the grenade, absolutely disgusting. All I see is blank environments and barely any effects. Crysis 2 has the best lighting of any console game yet.

[KotC]

360's been kicking the competition's ass lately so I don't know what you mean by "cling onto hope"?

[etowntwo]

I think your right about MS throwing $$ for exclusive beta just to get more hype for this game for the 360.
And I can't blame them since they really aren't releasing any exclusives first half of 2011.

[Sitris]

You do realize that th footage your referring to is of Killzone 2 right? 2 years old? But can't we just as a ps3 owner like both? Neither the PC or 360 can say that so why argue that ones better than the other, I will be playing both on my PS3!

[clrlite]

Um, that was a vid of Killzone 2 whitenoise. I think they both look good. I think KZ3 looks mindblowing, but that vid you provided of C2 looks pretty darn good. I hope the PS3 version looks as good or better.

http://www.youtube.com/watc... <KZ3

[BubloZX]

lol I watched the video and all I gotta say is..... give me some of that crack your smokin'

[CrIpPeN]

I will get this game on PC instead, so I'm not worried if this version sucks.

[Vherostar]

It means nothing no doubt its the last version they are working on that's why its not been seen as much as the rest. So it could be better(being the last means it gets more polish in some cases) it could be worse (could be left out in terms of development time).

Honestly though who cares if it looks great on both systems?? It will sell great on both and no doubt more on 360 as it is still a hardcore shooters console for now.

[ps3rider]

how old r u ?

[DigitalAnalog]

So far, the entire console gaming industry knows the PS3 leads in the tech/graphics department. In order to increase the competition load, the most natural choice would be on the competing system (aka the 360).

Why would multiplat devs make the PS3 look more of the powerhouse when there's KZ3, Infamous 2 and Uncharted 3 on the horizon to support it's system capabilities?

Regardless, this is one of the first mutliplats where the engines are built from the GROUND-UP for each system. Unlike the UE3, there should be no development problems as frequent as UE3.

-End of Line

[farhad2k8]

I really hope it means that Crytek are not taking the route Black Ops took and instead of porting the game from the 360 like every other lunatic game developer out there, they are building it on the PS3 too.

[ManGastaS]

Crysis 2 looks better than any thing done on PS3

[farhad2k8]

@ManGastaS

LOL?
Are you kidding me, it will honestly never beat Uncharted 3 and Killzone 3, I doubt that it even beats GT5.

[Ravenor]

Mmmm keep in mind that Uncharted 2 and Killzone 2 you were more often then not stuck in a very limited mission critical path. So if Killzone 3 and Uncharted 3 have level designs similar to their predecessors, then they are free to pump more detail into small areas.

Crysis had much more open environments, certainly larger then anything seen in KZ2 or Uncharted 2. I have no doubt that the size of the areas will likely be smaller in Crysis 2, but for it to be a Crysis game it has to have the semi larger environments with multiple ways of tackling an objective.

Mangangsta's comment is pretty wrong, but to say Crysis 2 looks awful when taking into consideration what it hopefully will do SP wise, is pretty silly. Oh and the MP is a lot of fun, picking up this game up in March. 2 Copies of KZ3 end of Feb, 2 copies of Homefront(pc) early Mar, 3 copies of Crysis 2(2 PS3, 1 PC) end of Mar.

2011 is rape><

[hiredhelp]

i know what it means. ive always known what it means. but who am i to say.

http://www.computerandvideo...

http://playstationgamingblo...

if only i could fine the link i used around 5 months ago stating the guy from EA. showing the guy whos works official playstation magazine.showed him crysis2 running stated this actually is being developed soly on P*******3.

PUT IT THIS WAY...
If you take any multi platform games what runs better and looks better on any platform xbox360 or ps3. it be 360 cos mainly ports. not all but most.
but yet even thoe xbox 360 may shine more on many platform games. look what happens when a game is soly developed for the playstation 3. jaw dropping next gen visuals with gamplay. so lets see what crytek can bring to the table.

please feel free to disagree its your right too.

[FailOverHero]

No screenshots, no demo...maybe they are trying to keep it under wraps because they have managed to make the ps3 version the best looking console game in the history and future of gaming! Graphics so good even suped up pc's cant run the still shots and screenshots let alone video footage!!!
Or it could mean nothing and they just couldn't be bothered and everybody is making a big fuss outta nothing. . .i'm voting for scenario number 1 though

[trancefreak]

Im sure it will turn out fine! I thought they could make all 3 games at one time with their cryengine 3 tools and each console will output what it is capable of doing by descaling from the pc version on the fly.

I hope all 3 versions turn out good but I have to go with the pc version. I played them all on pc and this will be no different.

1 question I have is why not show the pc version. I want to see all its glory.

i will also wait for the reviews because I know my kids will want the console version. If its a bug glitched game ill skip it and just let them play my pc copy.

[zeddy]

if they've some how managed to make the ps3 version better they'd would downgrade the version to match the 360 and since crytek have their hands firmly down microsofts pockets i think it would be the case.

[BlackTar187]

Is Failoverhero POG?

[btk]

Because it will be compared to KZ3.
The XB360 version will be compared to... well... Kinect games maybe?

[GodHandDee]

Nano Suit got nothing on Skittles!

I jest I jest

[Shackdaddy836]

I agree. I guess since its just beta right now(probably to test the servers which is why the game is so laggy), the graphics are probably not as high as they will once the game comes out. So if it comes out for playstation, it will be compared to all the exclusives the PS3 has which crytec probably doesn't want until they are finished.

[trancefreak]

Well crytek are graphic game gods so i pretty much agree with you. Im sure they want to live up to their name and reputation.

Or they can blame the 5-6 year old hardware if it doesnt turn out correctly but I doubt it we all seen the ps3 verion running with the water from the rain dripping off the curb in the tech video. It was pretty amazing.

[SuperLupe]

Kind of funny how KZ2 is probably the least succesful AAA FPS sales wise but you think other devs are scared of it ??

Lets be serious here, KZ2/KZ3 are graphic monsters but aint nobody even remotely scared of it. It doesnt even come close to the likes of a COD or Halo. Hell even the PS3 version of BFBC 2 sold more than KZ2.

So I doubt EA/Crytek are avoiding the "mighty" KZ3.

[Rhythmattic]

So you buying C2 ? I'm getting both.

C2 on PC & K3 on PS3....

Should be a cross-platform trophy...

Success..

[ugo]

this guy is a troll @ SuperLupe

[ugo]

i like Ur Sarcasm @ btk

[Motorola]

That there is no demo on PS3 so no footage to record. And no footage to record means nothing to upload on teh internetz.

[stonecold3]

crytek better step up to there game match ps3 top dog developers like naughty dog and guirella games and sucker punch they want to compete with ps3 exclusives at the moment i was going to get crysis 2 but i may pass instead has there hasnt been and ps3 footage peace out ? ps i wont buy terriable ports

[jizzyjones]

I thought EA said they were showing the game 'from the ground up' an Crytek were 'getting more performance from the ps3'.

Which says to me MS are paying Crytek to only show the 360 version because PS3 version looks better.

or

To show 360 also has another big shooter coming out to distract people form Killzone3.

[trancefreak]

Ya some members at neogaf mentioned that in this post on the pc demo announcement.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum...

[Kon]

Because Crytek likes Microsoft more than Sony?

[vishant101]

and they know that the xbox version will do better then the ps3 version as fps games do naturally fare better on the xbox

[theonlylolking]

If they dont release a demo for other consoles. The peeps with those consoles that dont have the demo will not get the chance to try it out to see if its worth getting. For the PS3 killzone 3 demo is coming out and peeps get to try it but no crysis demo. So the peeps who have not tried them both will most likely go with killzone 3 because they got the chance to play it.

[koehler83]

Both mini101 and the_only_lol_king are absolutely right.

Crysis will, by default, sell more on Xbox than on PS3. However Crytek are shooting themselves in the foot among PS3 users by not giving them a chance to play it.

I don't see how it benefits anyone.

[GodHandDee]

it's a conspiracy!!!! :P

[SJPFTW]

Are you serious? they did show PS3 gameplay way back. seriously can people stop approving wannabe game journalist? its on wordpress for God's sake.

[A LIVING LEGEND]

It means this is junk.
All the processing in the world can't fix this mess.The blind faith is admirable though

[TABSF]

You should ask the same question about PC version.

I think the lack of PC and maybe PS3 footage is because they don't want to shame the 360 version.

PC>PS3>360

CryEngine 3 Realtime. All the time.

PC it only does everything

[Bathyj]

Thats interesting.

If the PC AND PS3 versions are both superior then people are gonna ask why was that kept under wraps.

I'm just hypothesising here, but in that case, you would have to suspect M$ of being suspect wouldnt you?

I guess we just have to wait and see.

[theonlylolking]

I remember crytek saying that you blow peoples mind with the weaker version then bring out the best and blow peoples mind again.

[RevXM]

I think they did.

We got every right to be suspicious though.
But the Pc version cant really fail, right?

[SSKILLZ]

Because the ps3 version looks superior and is under wraps

[xstation79]

Ps3: It only does shitty ports

[Angels3785]

O...........M............G!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!! He has seen the future!!!!!!!! So I take it the PC version will be a crappy port as well??? WOW your an idiot.

[GarandShooter]

Ease up man, that's insulting to idiots!

Come to think of it, I'll bet when idiots try to insult each other they say, "Dude, you're a f*cking xstation79!"

[SnakeMustDie]

Yeah

FFXIII
Vanquish
Castlevania Lords of Shadow
Batman Arkham Asylum
Burnout Paradise
Oblivion, The Elder Scrolls IV
Dead Space

are all shit ports!!!/s

[Sigh]

@SnakeMustDie

I think Dead Space was lead platform on the original xbox, scrapped, then EA made it ps3 lead. There's this article how EA took a gamble leading on ps3 even though it was expensive at the time. I have no clue if it still is.

[Kalipekona]

The first dead space had a better frame rate on the 360 version. The second Dead Space is actually equal. Most of those games were merely equal on both consoles.

And you have to admit in any case that is a pretty small list of games that managed to be about the same or better on the PS3. There are literally hundreds the other way around.

[OpenGL]

It probably looks worse than the 360 version, and definitely looks worse than a big PS3 exclusive shooter releasing a month earlier.

[Ambivalent_]

Let's be honest here, lack of PS3 footage usually means crappy porting.

Only this time I make the shots whether I'll actually pay for the port or install CFW and go with the "backup" version.

Hard working devs your money is safe, lazy devs beware.

[Achemki]

Bionic Commando had an exclusive 360 online demo too and always showed 360 footage yet wound up looking better on the PS3. Better lighting, no screen tearing. Same with Just Cause 2. It had like no PS3 hype, but no tearing either.

Speaking of tearing, the Crysis 2 demo on 360 had screen tearing when I played in 3D. It's already showing cracks.

And there have been PS3 blurbs. People just have short term memory. Remember this article when Crytek said they were getting more performance from the PS3 version http://www.computerandvideo... ? Don't be surprised if the scenarios I mentioned above repeat themselves.

[Ambivalent_]

Well I did say usually, not always. Tnx for pointing out the exceptions.

[trancefreak]

There are no real porting from the cryengine 3 its all done on the fly with cryengine tools in the sand box editor.

[Hazmat13]

sandbox editor for PS3!!!! i only wish....

[Gamer_Z]

It’s simple if the game turns out to be a bad port then don’t buy it!!! I'm not, but if it does turn out to be good then get it. I learned my lesson with BO don’t trust reviews and wait for the lens of truth. I'm not sweating it, with soo many good multi and exclusives coming to the PS3 you can choose to be picky.

[rjgbyrne]

Crytek are PC developers and would have more experience with MS tech. but PS3 will be fine. I bet they will look the same like the Dead Space 2 graphics (Bravo for multi-platform) and if the gameplay is any good, its a bonus for us all, so far... it's just another shooter to me. Aren't EA in bed with Sony and not MS at the moment? Kinect is a different beast altogether, am saddened that my move wand/didlio just sits there, I think I am more disappointed at not having purchased the Navigator, its needed so why didn't it come packed with the move controller!?!

[Led-Zeppelin]

This means absolutely nothing.

[Bathyj]

I can see 3 senarios.

It makes the 360 version look like crap and they dont want to upsets Microsoft.

I doubt it.

Killzone 3 makes Crysis look like crap and they're scared to show it.

Maybe.

Its just not up to scratch because they didnt put their homework in on PS3 3 years ago when everyone else SHOULD have been doing it and now they have to play catch up.

Sadly, I think this is the most likely.

And I said the same thing in 2007 to those whining about PS3's "hard to learn" architecture.

You can either bite the bullet now, put in those hard yards and reap the benefits for the rest of the generation like all of Sonys 1st party are doing, or you can b*tch about it, do nothing and then try to jump on the bandwagon later only to realise you are far behind the curve and catching up is all the harder when others are streaking ahead.

Crytek are a quality dev, this is one time I hope I'm wrong, but I just have a bad feeling about this.

[ATiElite]

1. Microsoft has NO EXCLUSIVES so they are using their strategy of pay for the commercials to get more people to buy the 360 version.

2. Killzone 3 has the most dominate graphics on any console EVER so Sony can careless about Crysis 2. 3rd party games on the PS3 make Sony some cash but Sony's Exclusives make the PS3 what it is.

3. Like Bathjy said Crytek has not put in the work on the PS3 to be able to program it to Sony Exclusive levels. Crytek talked a lot of shit but they won't be able to back it up.

4. This sort of thing happens in the PC world as well. Nvidia gets to put it's "TWIMTBP" splash screen all over Crysis 2 PC but at least Nvidia will make sure the game runs great on Nvidia cards but I'm sure Nvidia will pull a punk move and add Physx just to make people buy Nvidia cards vs. AMD but so far Physx has been not so great as there are no Physx games that make you say "DAM I gotta buy that". Havok and Bullet physics work just as good.

OpenGl FTW!!

[Godmars290]

Don't forget, Cryteh is not only trying to sell a game, but a general game engine platform. It just doesn't speak well if they're standing with that intention, yet clearly favoring one of the two "lesser platforms" to make one look better than the other.

Mind you, if your #2 guess is right they come out with even more egg on their face. At least in the US.

[Xbox360PS3AndPC]

Crysis & Metro 2033 Rape Killzone 3 Nuff Said

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

On PC, not Console version.

[Death2494]

ridiculous. You're comparing locked in hardware to unlocked hardware. You can upgrade your pc at anytime. The RSX is the equivalent of a Geforce 7200. Metro2033 has just become playable if you have the 580 in tri sli.

[Allowen]

There is a reason for the exclusive Crysis demo for the Xbox360 and it was not because Microsoft payed Crytek.
Crysis 2 will launch at the same month with Killzone 3 (PS3) so Sony did not mind then to put the demo only at Live.

[ironmonkey]

i think ms is rushing crytek to put out a demo for the consoles plus a little cash involved of course. they got their wish.

[Death2494]

is the release date for Crysis2. February 22nd is the release date for Killzone3. Most people who want the game are going to purchase within the first 3 weeks. Sony doesn't want anything to conflict with that so they're not allowing anything to distract people's attention from Killzone3. I guarantee you we're going to see a Cyrsis2 demo before it launches.

[Shackdaddy836]

I'm sure that Crysis 2 will look good on the PS3 when it comes out. Crytec even said in the article that they are going to max out the hardware like KZ3 is doing.

So I dont think that is why they haven't released a beta yet.

[gypsygib]

Pretty much all games published by EA look virtually identical across consoles.

[Silly gameAr]

That's what I have been wondering. It's like there is no PS3 version or something. Not even one single screenshot has been shown.

Doesn't really give me much confidence in the PS3 version and all of that big talk that Crytek was blabbing about Crysis 2 on the PS3 in the beginning.

[Octo1]

I say the PS3 version is not running at as well as the PC and 360 version which sucks for PS3 owners (purely speculation). This is troubling if they have not released any PS3 video or screen shots if the release date is near.
IF this was the case I am surprised because DS2 looks good on the PS3 so IF in fact the development team for Crysis is having problems with the PS3 architecture they should be asking Visceral for help. But then again who know why no vids or screen shots for the PS3 version. Maybe gremlins?

[Raider69]

Do you know that DS2 is a diferent engine than Crisis 2 right!? And you cant compare all the action,effects, fast pace that Crisis 2 haves to DS2!DS2 engine is the same used on the godfather game,it looks great on DS2 because the action and ambiance is confine to small tight spaces!

[PR_FROM_OHIO]

It means SONY doesn't give a shit about crysis 2 when they got KILLZONE 3 so they didn't beg EA ass for a demo!!!!

[Holeran]

Pure speculation until someone sees it in action.

[Raider69]

Something is wrong!They shoud release a MP demo for the PS3 to iron the problems just like they are making on the 360,and therefore Crisis 2 dont end a bloody mess online at release like CODBO,MOH,and BFBC 2!On the other hand is still hope they are getting all the juice of the PS3 power and Bluray capacity and will end up blowing people's minds on release with the ultimate version for the PS3!

[Killzoned]

I think Crysis 2 on 360 will be the superior console version. I mean come on why would Crytek make their demo exclusive on another platform, it just shows that crytek wanna show off their best work on console. NO BIGGIE, no hard feeling haha

[ATiElite]

Why No PS3 Crysis 2 footage?

Easy, Crytek talked a lot of shit and after seeing killzone 3 they know they can't back it up. We will see some Crysis 2 PS3 video after KZ3 is released.

Gears 3 looks to have better visuals than Crysis 2 360.

Don't get caught up in the Crysis 2 hype. All PC gamers can think of is Battlefield 3, that should tell you something.

[airforcex]

I actually own Crysis 1 and it wasn't the great game PC fans want you to think. KZ1 was definitely a better game.

[ATiElite]

I own Crysis PC And Crysis Warhead and play them both maxed out across 3 screens. PC gamers always say Crysis has great graphics and that it was a fun game, not GOTY material but a good game.

I think ppl mistake PC gamers love for the graphics in Crysis as it being a SUPER DUPER awesome game but that's not the case. I wouldn't go so far as saying Killzone 1 is better than Crysis as I played that on my PC too. KZ2 was awesome and can't wait for KZ3.

[theonlylolking]

I thought crysis 1 is a really good game but it does not have the graphics PC fans want you to think.

[Ravenor]

Killzone 1...REALLY!? REALLY!?

@above

You forget that Crysis you weren't limited to a narrow mission critical path, as well as the world not being split into cells. If I set explosives at the beginning of the level they would still be there at the end, ready to get blown up. Any major console game doesn't offer the freedom that Crysis gave you.

[WhiteNoise]

No console games looks as good as crysis 2

Watch from 0:25 onwards

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[ultimate-remag]

Seriously who gives 2 fucks about Crysis 2 on the PS3???? For all i care they could shove it up Microsofts a$$ cuz i have KILLZONE 3 coming!!!!!!

[jadnice]

I got mine pre-ordered and ready for combat. Like I said this is Sony's Halo and some.

Let be real here... the best version of Crysis 2 is the PC version (which i will be getting). I did the same for Dead Space 2 by getting the PC version.

[airforcex]

That's all it means. Companies showcase good products.

[Raider69]

If they had to showcase the better version it will be the PC one ! Theres already a PC demo announced!I guess some will have the eyes pop out by the time they showcase the PC version running on high specs!

[Gamer_Z]

Your comment doesn’t make sense if that were the case then wouldn’t they showcase Crysis 2 on the PC first and keep the 360 version (the ugly cousin) under wraps.

[jadnice]

I always find it funny when 360 supporters can only draw on lazy or unqualified programs on the PS3 version, as their reason for 360 being superior. Yet today and counting they cannot produce not one game that can top MGS4, Uncharted (all of them) and Killzone 3 in term of a combined effort in graphics, physics/particle effects and other all running at the same time as smooth as a new born ass.

Humor me please and name just one or are 360 fanboys going to take the Wii excuse route and say "well graphics is not everything".

[old_mate]

whats to say Sony didnt want a Crysis 2 Demo on the PS3 as it will make Killzone 3 look bad?

Crysis 2 on the 360 looks incredible, and easily better than Killzone 2. Killzone 3 looks nice, but it doesnt have the attention to detail graphically and the realism that Crysis 2s graphics have. its just a slightly improved Killzone 2. It should have Guerrilla Games scared, as their game is only known because of its graphics. when Crysis 2 comes out and makes Killzone 3 look pedestrian in comparison, even less people are going to care about Killzone.

ill be buying both though, as i thought killzone 2s online couldve been great if they hadve ironed out a few bugs, the control lag being the main one (and then the rocket spamming and spawn camping".

id also like to point people to this interview with a crysis 2 level designer:

http://www.incrysis.com/for...

"AKka: What was the Lead Console at the beginning of Crysis 2 dev ?
Daniel: At the start I believe it was the Xbox 360 that was used as the console benchmark. As of now though, we've switched to the PS3 as our "low end" benchmark. Not because it's inferior to the 360, but because it's just so much harder to develop on. It has very different specs compared to the 360.

AKka: Does the hardware difference between the 360 and the PS3 allow one of these version to look better?
Daniel:When I worked on A:CM I would have said yes to this question. During that project we found that the PS3 gave far better visuals than the 360. But having worked on Crysis 2, I have found that the quality is all dependant on the programming team. As it stands right now, the quality is near identical between the 360 and PS3 for Crysis 2 (and amazing)"

[Angels3785]

Its funny you said that because moments later there is an article about how Killzone 2 still looks better. LOL, but anyway there will be no competition once compared to the PC version.

[pompeymassive]

Why do pc owners always do that! Its obvious theres no comparison between a £250 console to a £2500 pc. Why bother being such a pc troll!!

[Angels3785]

Dude I'm not even a PC fanboy, look at my comment history and look here:
http://us.playstation.com/p...
I game mostly on PS3!!! The games are better!!! I only play on PC for cheaper games and better graphics.

[pompeymassive]

M8 ur deluded!! Is it because u dont have any decent exclusives coming your way so you hang on to this multi plat piece of garbage!! The ps3 version is gimped just like so many other multi plats. Its a dam shame but the developer has obviously been swayed in microsofts direction!!

[Angels3785]

I agree.

[jalen247]

Crytek are cocking devs...I expect the PS3 version to take advantage of the PS3 and look better than the 360 version but still look worse than Killzone 3 and maybe even Killzone 2

[DEADEND]

All I know is that they better show the PS3 version damn soon because so far I was not impressed by the beta on the 360 and how it looks. There were some other things that I didn't like but could live with. I want to get it on the PS3 since that is my main console of choice and I'm worried that they might not look the same. But I keep telling my self that not only will we get a demo soon before the release but because it's EA and Crytek it should come out looking and playing the same as the 360 version.

[Arnagrim]

This speculation is nonsense.
Crytek have already said that the games look the same, and the only difference being a small bit of more performance out of the PS3 version.
http://www.pcworld.com/arti...
Plus back in 2007 they already discussed how they were optimizing their resources to perform just as well on both consoles. They actually have a dedicated PS3 team.
http://www.joystiq.com/2007...

[MonopolyRSV]

They already said a while ago that they were getting slightly better performance on the PS3 version. If that was true in the beginning, then I expect that it's likely still true now.

I don't think Crytek benefits from showing the PS3 version up front in any scenario. Best to let Xbox Live get the demo early and build up hype for it, then try to compete as best as they can with KZ3 when it actually launches on PS3 and we are all looking at the final graphics comparisons.

[bobrea]

THE GAME DOESNT EXIST DURRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[Manberg900]

It probably will be cancelled since the PS3 is a pain to develop for as oppose to the 360.

[jay2]

Crytech are just kissing M$$$$'s bum, no PS3 BETA, No screen shots $1500000 for you, Crytech.

[A LIVING LEGEND]

It does mediocre ports of mediocre games.
sad,really.

[gamingisnotacrime]

putting Crysis 2 next to this beast will make it look even worse than it already looks. lol at 3rd party claiming to top the PS3 exclusives. Uncharted 1 still is unmatched in consoles

[cannon8800]

I remember a few months ago, how Cevat Yerli promised that they were going to push the cell and rsx of the ps3, to it's absolute limits. If they hold to their promise, then it should look absolutely stunning, and if it doesn't, well then we would know that he spoke a little too much.

[InTheZoneAC]

I wish all these Crysis articles would go away. The game is as overrated as Haze was when that came out, it has NOTHING going for it, just hype carried over from PC gamers and you know how their games are, all flash and no substance.

[ironmonkey]

sure it would be nice to see the ps3 version. i think sony would rather have their own games to sell first before they worry about low quality multiplatform games. 7 gig dvd's shows the limitations of 360.

[ATiElite]

PC gamers don't care about Crysis 2, sure some will buy it but most want Battlefield 3. Crysis 2 PC MP servers will be dead after 2 months, BFBC2 is just too good.

PS3 gamers don't care about Crysis 2, sure some will buy it but most want Killzone 3.

360 gamers..... well Gears 3 is a long ways off so I'm sure some will buy Crysis 2 but most will be back playing Blops after about two months.

[Angels3785]

Why would PC gamers not care? This franchise STARTED on PC. It has a massive fanbase and MOD community. That comment you made about PC gamers not buying Crysis 2.... You dont want crysis 2 so you assume that all other gamers don't want it?

[ATiElite]

No, not true, If Crysis 2 has improved the game play and graphics I will get it. But every weekend I attend a Lan Party and all everyone ever talks about is

Diablo 3, Star Wars MMO, The Witcher 2, Battlefield 3, Tera, Deus Ex, Portal 2, Kingdoms of Amalur and a few others.

most if not all feel Crysis 2 will feel too much like a console port. Matter of fact Nvidia is fixing the Crysis 2 Pc graphics as we speak which is one of the reasons it got pushed back.

I based my post off of talking to PC gamers and the fact that dedicated PC gaming forums has no excitement for Crysis 2 PC. trust me if Crysis 2 PC is done proper I will pick it up and place it next to my Crysis and Warhead disc.

Crytek has also been dissing their mod community as of late but I don't know if they have smoothed that out. but yes crysis did over 3 million and has a huge Mod community.

[PsBoxGamer]

To all that say the Ps3 version would look worst....I agree with you guys to a point but then again if the DEV really want to they can make any port blow away the 360 versions just take a look at ((MASS EFFECT 2)) coming from a DEV team that has NEVER worked on the Ps3 ever and to come out the gate with a HOME RUN! proves alot that some developers are just lazy or just don't know what the cell there doing with the ps3 cause there is no excuse for any ports to be looking bad on the ps3 anymore they ((SHOULD BE LOOKING WAY BETTER THEN THE 360 VERSIONS IF THEY PUT THE WORK IN!))

[Raoh]

meh, i dont have high hopes for the crysis series, at least not on consoles, but i do have high hopes for the engine, i hope it gives Unreal a run for their money and we see more crytek engine games from other developers.

[Gamer_Z]

I would love to see MOH run on the Cry engine, dream come true.

[Bluemaster77]

You PS guys spew alot of bullsht lol

[A LIVING LEGEND]

How,exactly?^ spew me some non BS
A lack of footage is attributable to one thing,a lack of confidence
In all honesty though,well deserved.

[Clarence]

With KZ3 coming out I don't a lot of people care.

[JonnyBigBoss]

Crysis 2 looks great, but it's hard to pay attention when Killzone 3 is coming soon.

[Mr Tretton]

Wasn't Crytek praising the PS3 a couple of years ago? Would be embarrassing for them if the PS3 version comes out looking worse.

[DFresh]

Honestly as a PS3 gamer at this point Crysis 2 doesn't matter because there's so many other power house exclusives that it wouldn't make any difference.
I really don't think Crysis will hold any weight on the consoles.
Maybe EA will sell 2M across PS3/Xbox 360.
Probably more on Xbox 360 only because most PS3 owners will be playing Killzone 3.
PC is where the fan base is for this franchise.
Enough said.

[KaiokenKid]

I hope its so they can give the PS3 version mroe care, but then again tahts troubling into itself. Signs are pointing to a inferor PS3 port though, so ill wait for head to heads.

[RedDeadLB]

It means that the PS3 version of Crysis 2 will probably be Sub HD with a bad framerate. That's what always happens.

[muttonface]

It simply cannot be 100% even for Xbox 360 and PS3, a multiplayform game will look better on one console even if it's just by a fingernail. We know that in terms of raw horsepower the PS3 probably has an edge and in terms of easy of use the 360 wins. It's really about what console the developers want to focus on first as their reference point.

[bofuknjanglez]

You know the scenerio no one is thinking about is its sonys own doing..... Why would they want any competition with there exclusive to battle for sales with "KZ3" it does release around the same time frame if i was sony id say hey EA hold off mates let us see what our inhouse can do with out any added attention and you guys forget this time Ea and sony have a pretty close bond kinda like activision does with ms

[Cajun Chicken]

Basically. It's MS showing the 'RAW POWER OF IT'S MACHINE!' with a multiplat again. We're all used to it and it never impresses. Look at Homefront, MS have immediately snapped up the rights for the DLC, already.

There's better quality videos & pictures to do a more fair comparison unlike lens of lies biased comparisons.

[Hozi89]

Truth be told Crytek is gonna be competing against Guerilla Games this year for the title of BEST FPS GAME OF THE YEAR. I personally do believe that the folks at Crytek are hiding the PS3 screens because it is superior to the Xbox 360 version. Because Killzone is PS3 exclusive, Crytek is trying to blow Killzone out the water with superior Graphics. I know it just a guess, but think about it. This is Crytek, why wouldn't they push the PS3 to the max?

I am not saying that Crysis 2 will be better than Killzone 3 either. I can't wait to play both of them.

[jneul]

its so sad m$ used to buy exclusive games, now they buy exclusive demo's, it's means nothing other than that, the ps3 version is still coming, we already got footage a few months ago and the ps3 version was running better, dunno how it runs in comparison recently but im not bothered as i have kz3

[GrumpyVeteran]

Never use an apostrophe to make a plural.

[jneul]

^^wow i mad a whole 1 mistake.....

[kasasensei]

Well, it's obvious. Not a lot of exclusives these days for the 360.
So Microsoft is trying to make people believe that this one is exclusive. And it's working a bit, as usual.

[jbiz320]

you are dumb..

[--------]

Agreed. Take into account the blatant quality control bias and early DLC in regards to Black Ops, and it's proof that those poor bastards are grabbing every chance to bring something special to the console.

Wait for the Disagrees, they'll come.

[--------]

@awiseman - Thanks for the info, Microsoft make me feel sick though.
I'm far from a 360 hater, but Microsoft buying out every popular multiplatform game franchise they can get their hands on is really starting to piss me off now.

Pretty sure I got a bubble taken away for that one!

[sprayNpray]

All it means is that, once again, the PS3 owners are gonna get the short stick when it comes to effort from developers. I think I'm going to stick to PS3 exclusives from now on because developers seem to forget about us when they have the 360 to worry about also.

[Masterchef2007]

http://www.pcworld.com/arti...

Crytek: Crysis 2 Performs Better on PS3 than Xbox 360

If they said this then it must be true. What i dont get is that they are not showing off the PS3 version of the game. Maybe it is because they know that it will sell better on the 360 and that is why they are showing the 360 version more. Not trying to troll here but if you dont believe me just look at the link.

[jashmister]

What does the lack of ps3 footage mean? there's a lack of ps3 footage, rather simple no one should care until they see it, this is just flamebait and shouldn't have been aproved

[Mkai28]

It could mean that the PS3 version has surpassed the 360 version, and won't show it until the game is ready to launch.

As I recall, crytek was making alot of noise about having the best looking FPS on consoles.But what I saw on the multiplayer of KZ3, it seems slim. Guess we will have to wait.

[Inzo]

It means PS3 is going to be stuck with the Black ops effect.

[G-Ham]

PS3 is a superior console tech wise, But it is proven to be harder for developing multiplatform games, Crysis wont look as good on Xbox or Ps3 as it will on high end pc's but it will still look impressive. A good bet is Microsoft have paid upright for footage and screens shown from the xbox build. This game will however be awesome however you play it.

[Mkai28]

That being "harder" to developing multiplat games on PS3 is somewhat mute. Most third party game devs will make a game on 360 first because of it's Pc like achitexture having 3 general purpose cpus. Having 512mb of ram, 10mb edram to help with aliasing.Whereas most devs are familiar to developing for PC anyway, making the developing time faster and getting things done more quickly.

The Ps3 having a more complicated achitexture, having 512mb of ram being split between the cpu and gpu(256mb). Having seperate processing units from the actual cpu, having 7 of them. (Cell processors)When in full use takes the load of the RSX gpu making physics, textures, lighting, ect better. KZ2, Uncharted 2,and GOW3 are results of this. Being first parties where they have the time and resources to make the game with results as those that were mentioned.

What ends up happening is third party devs do not have the time and not willing to spend the resources to make a game that much better then it's competitor. They will have the Rsx gpu(which is inferior to the Xenon gpu) and load it with all kinds of caculations only using 1 spe (Cell processor).

Then when third parties release the game for both platforms, the 360 version seems to sell better most of the time. Then they say, we won't put all this time and money in the PS3 knowing it woudn't sell as well as the easier 360 ver.

With deadlines to meet,this is why third party games look and perform like they do on the PS3 as you know.

[hellzsupernova]

im sure we can all wait for the "lens of truth" and there detailed accurate Analysis and they will tell the 360 version is worse but better in their eyes lol

[Adolph Fitler]

They will be pretty much identical to the "normal" eye, but those fanboy goggles of 360 owners will undoubtedly find some small jaggy 1hr into the PS3 version of the game, on a 10 foot high street sign, or will highlight a framerate judder in the multiplayer aspect of the game, that is actually more than likely lag.

But as a PS3 & 360 owner, with a large ammount of favoritism toward Sony's shiny black beauty....I simply could not give a shit about Crysis 2 being slightly better on 360, or Black Ops being a bit better in a mode I hardly ever play it in (in fact, I have never played the splitscreen co-op mode), I care not for Activision taking a large sum of money from those MS suit wearing scumbags, for timed exclusive new maps for Black Ops (ahahahahahahahah 1 pathetic month for surely millions of MS $$$$$), I have never bought any of the maps for any of the COD,s & I plan to keep it that way....in fact, after seeing Killzone 3's awesome gameplay vids, I will not buy any more COD's unless they do something extroadinarily brilliant to get me to get my wallet out.....Killzone 3 looks very likely to blow every other console shooter out of the water, gameplay, graphics, & all over production wise. Then PS3 owners have options like Bulletstorm, Bodycount, Medal Of Honor 2, Socom 4, Homefront, The Agency, all of which are looking the goods....So as a gamer that has a crap load of FPS's to consider this year (many in the 1st quarter), if EA allow PS3 to get an inferior version due to rushed porting, I will scratch it off the buy list (for PS3 & 360, as I won't buy 360 versions that have been half arse ported to PS3).

You add up every game, in every genre, & write down a list of all the games you are interested in & would love to buy (at this mysterious stage), then count them & you will looking for reasons to scratch games off the list where the mystery has ended & you have played the game for yourself. I have played Crysis 2's beta on 360, & while it was pretty good, it was another game that felt & played like COD, but just with a twist in that it's futuristically based.....WOW, haven't seen that befhalo....woops I mean before.
I atually liked the demo, it was great, but Killzone 2 is fantastic, Resistance 1 & 2 are actually still faves of mine, 1 hit kill mode in Resistance is awesome, but sadly missing from the equally awesome R2, hopefully it will make a comeback in pt.3.
PS3 owners & 360 owners would not miss this game if it was never to come to one or the other, or both, or was a total botch job conversion for either or both, as there is SO many games of either equal, or better quality on there way to a console near you, & a large majority of these are shooters of either 1st or 3rd person view, so many high quality games like, Gears 3, Unchartered 3, inFamous 2, The Last Guardian, masses of PSN & Live hits, gta5,Battlefield 3, Fear 3, Rage, Red Faction. Armageddon, Max Payne 3, Batman 2, MGS.Rising, DmC, L.A. Noire, Brink, Spec Ops. The Line, and the list goes on, and on, and on, and on.

[jadnice]

Games like Crysis 2 and Dead Space 2 will be bought by people like me for the PC since I want the best graphics version. We all know that the console version (be it 360 or PS3) will be inferior to the PC.

These days I am only buying console exclusives since only then are the developers truly pushing the system. My next purchase is Killzone 3.

[peeps]

Most likely this doesn't account for digital downloads (I imagine a lot of pc gamers don't bother with hard copies anymore, I know I don't) but found this interesting taken from Eurogamer regarding the UK all formats chart:

"Despite an alluring PS3 bundle - with Dead Space: Extraction thrown in for free - it was the Xbox 360 version with the lion's share of sales: 56 per cent. The PS3 commanded only 40 per cent (the PC filled the remaining 4 per cent)."

[Darkfiber]

Probably the same thing it's meant for the last 4 years in regards to multiplatform games: it probably looks and runs like shit.

[metalhead]

I couldn't care less anyway cause I'm getting this for my pc.

[kookie]

Fanboys

[stuntman_mike]

It means their working on it.

[MARKUS_MAX1MUS]

Ohhhh killzone 3 does better graphics on walls and debris! but ohhhh crysis has better lighting!

shutup

If you dont get both these great games your either broke or a fanboy.

[Wardog1368]

What does the lack of dreamcast footage mean?

[SuperStrokey1123]

It means that there is no footage of the ps3 version... thats it

[xtremegamerage]

I've seen all 3 versions running at the show.

And it goes like this graphically.

PC
PS3
360

You'll see soon enough.

Crytek have themselves said that the PS3 version runs ever so slightly better but it's difficult to tell. Several journalists who have seen the PS3 version have backed this up. However, this was months ago.

There are only 2 possibilities...

1) The PS3 version is an inferior port like so many others.
2) Microsoft is paying for extra attention like they so often do.

guys this is pretty simple. The game will not look as good on ps3. Im not being a fanboy either, im a ps3 player. Its pretty obvious though that developers put more effort into the 360 versions of games than the ps3 version. What makes anyone think that crytek will be any different? Thats why ps3 exclusives look tremendously better then the multiplats. All their effort is going into one console. Its no secret that it is easier to program for the 360, so that is the platform that gets the time and effort.

It means the ps3 version didn't have a mp demo like the 360 currently has running and any other footage you see floating around the net will most likely be pc footage since it's obviously going to be the best version.

I could be wrong but I'm expecting the ps3 version to be as good if not slightly better than the 360 version based on footage shown of the engine running on both consoles and comments by Crytek themselves.

Simply put a lack of ps3 footage is just the way the game has been marketed with ms obviously keep to get behind Crysis 2 on the xbox and the fact that in general multiplat games still sell slightly more on 360 compared to ps3 (see the latest UK chart where the 360 version of dead space 2 sold a few more % copies despite the ps3 version coming with dead space extraction for free)

If Crytek was showing the PC version just as much as the 360 version, I'd suspect that there could be something wrong with the PS3 version. But they really aren't showing much of the PC or PS3 versions, and the 360 shockingly got the beta over the PC version. I've always thought of Crysis as a PC franchise first, although I don't mind seeing it on other platforms because it's a good franchise. Given these facts, it sounds like there's some sort of deal in place keeping the focus on the 360 version.

it means that its lacking it

Waiting for reviews this time before deciding which console to purchase this game on. Don't want another Black Ops situation. I still like such a fool for not getting it on the 360. I usually wait to see which version of the game is 'better', but figured no way would COD be any different. Jokes on me but as someone once said:
'Never again!'

[hamsterfist]

Also how big is this game going to be? The Multiplayer demo on 360 is 1.8 GB and only one level. I see two discs on 360. One singleplayer, one multiplayer.

Could just be a way to sell more people on the Xbox360 version given the Multiplayer being Xbox360 and PC Exclusive. It's going to sell no matter what on PC, so the only competition is on Consoles. Not to mention PS3 fans are mostly sold on Killzone 3, so Crysis 2 will also have to compete with Killzone 3 (*speaking only for PS3).

So I think it's just much easier to sell more copies on the Xbox360 when you advertise it almost as an exclusive. Especially when you don't have any competition on or around it's release.

No matter, I'll probably rent it for PS3 (I'm a trophy whore) and buy it for PC if I can afford it. I started playing Crysis on PC, so it only makes sense to play more of it on PC. I just hope it's more stable.

Crysis prepare to be Killzowned

[Dellis]

I saw it at event, it looks better then 360

this is the reason MS/Crytek got deals going

just like MAFIA was crap on PS3 and they had deals with

T2.

When a company is not showing the PS3 version it means

the 360 version is going to look bad.

correctamundo!

It means MS has no real games and they have to grab hold of anything they can to generate some interest for real gamers. Everyone at MS is in Kinect mode for 2011.

[MeNoRasta]

It means Microsoft does better marketing think about it Microsoft advertise games and then it sells better on their system.No fanboy or rocket science needed.

Sony on the other hand only advertise exclusives which is ok but they really need to start advertising multiplats if they want some of that marketing share.

The ps3 always takes longer. Anyways your best bet is to get this on pc and hopefully i will get a new 3d graphics card by that time too.
