Crysis 2 PS3 is Sub-HD

Gamersmint writes : Mazinger dude the well known wizard from Neogaf has found out the resolution for Crysis 2 PS3

[Karooo]

sucks but whatever

KZ3 = 720p + mlaa

[Xfanboy]

lol that still sucks!!

[damnyouretall]

well is the 360 sub hd? didnt feel like reading the article

[MRMagoo123]

it is

[DualConsoleOwner]

MLAA does not blur anything.

that is Quincunx anti-aliasing which was used in Killzone 2.

They switched to MLAA because it DOEsnt cause blur.

Lol. you realize they are even coming up with new PC graphics card to use MLAA??

yea MLAA is that amazing and runs best in SPUs..

btw, that is from Eurogamer article. lol nothing about blur there. hahaha

well, i guess this shows that wrong trolls are wrong.

[plb]

Crysis 2 is best served on PC anyway. I've learned you cannot expect much graphics wise unless it comes from PS3 first party developer studios. Multiplat devs want 360/PS3 to look identical.

[LunaticBrandon]

Even then you can't expect too much.

[sikbeta]

What anyone was expecting? the PS3 version is probably a port of a port from PC to x360 then to PS3, I really don't care if the game is Good, but all that PR talk about how Crytek was doing stuff any other Dev can't, now can stop be labeled as PR-BS XD

[crzyjackbauer]

LOL its not like you ps3 fanboys are use to real hd when it comes to multiplatforms
10 out of 10 multiplatform games are sub HD on ps3
the only true 1080p game is GT5 rest are 720p

[floetry101]

GT5 isn't 1080p either fool. WipeoutHD is 1080p.

[LunaticBrandon]

GT5 isn't 1080p. GT5 is 1280x1080, not 1920×1080.

[NiKK_419]

it's still good though, better than most, plus it's 60fps and still manages to look f-n awesome

[damnyouretall]

damn dude fyi get out of your house more often

[Death2494]

@floetry and LunaticBrandon,

If it has 1080 vertical lines, it's 1080p. Do you homework kiddies. Now if you're asking if it's FullHD (1920 x 1080) then no GT5 is not.

[evrfighter]

"If it has 1080 vertical lines, it's 1080p. "

sorry bro 1080p has gone the way of the cracker vs. hacker arguments. 99% of the time hacker is the term used to describe a cracker. meaning yes in all of n4g and for the past 10 years everyones been saying "F*ck hackers" when it should be "F*ck crackers."

It's become commonplace that the term 1080p means 1920x1080. Get used to it because it's here to stay. So no GT5 isn't true 1080p.

[P_Bomb]

@crzyjackbauer
10/10 multiplats? Tomb Raider Underworld is a sub-HD 576p on the 360 but 720p native on the PS3. That's just one example. Calling others fanboys doesn't mean you're not one yourself.

EDIT
+bub' for Metfanant, I was just thinking about those MSAA quotes from Digital Foundry. There it is in black 'n' white.

[Death2494]

People are missing the fact that this is only being based off of the trailer, not the actual demo like the 360 was based off of. So people are counting their chickens before they hatch.

http://www.thinkdigit.com/f...
"1080p means there will be 1080 vertical lines which displyed in progressive mode.."

if the game can display 1080 vertical, progressive lines, then it qualifies as 1080p. This does not mean that it's FULL HD though. FULL HD is 1920 x 1080p. The 1920 represents the amount of horizontal lines and 1080p or 720p is the amount of vertical lines you see.

[MaxXAttaxX]

GT5 is 1080p
1080p stands for 1080 vertical lines.

Prologue was 1280x1080.

Still looks better than 720p or 640p like the almighty Halo.

[jetlian]

them believe whatever they want!! crysis 2 on 360 1152x 720p which is higher than 1020 x 720p on ps3.

But one thing I still don't get if 360 holding ps3 back why you get the lesser of the 2???!!!

[IcarusOne]

I will bet you all a bacon egg & cheese biscuit that none of you could tell the difference between 720p and 1080p if the box didn't tell you.

[free2game365]

GT5 runs at 1280x1080 in "1080p" mode, it's not really true 1080p.

[showtimefolks]

but just got killzone 3 so i am all set till maybe brink and than rage/resistance 3

but its sad that this dev made so many promises about how each version will look the same and stuff yet epic fail

and this late into this gen don't make any excuses.

if ND can make uncharted 2 in 18months with a medium size team how can these big devs who work on more than one game at a time have trouble and sony have ND to help anyone who needs help problem is you ask for help sony ain't about to knock on your door to offer help

that is WHY THIS GEN I BUY MORE EXCLUSIVES and some other AAA games that i know are great

[jetlian]

say i'm a fan who is shamed that I got a lesser system so I get what the rest can't get to feel better lol.

"but its sad that this dev made so many promises about how each version will look the same and stuff yet epic fail"

they do look about the same so whats the problem? Also note they said that the engine would do the same things just not to the same degree

[DigitalAnalog]

Eurogamer confirms the game to be 1152x720 (based on the demo version). And yet here we are with garbage PR talk from Nathan Camirillo stating that there would be almost "no difference" from each other. Despite the fact this new evidence discovers the PS3 version to be 1024x720. That's a 100K pixels difference my friend.

I don't believe this.... such rubbish developers, lying to us in front of our faces. And to think there was so much promise, considering the engine was "supposedly" developed to the individual platforms.

-End of Line

[NiKK_419]

100k pixel difference? more like just 100, which is not much, i doubt you would even notice

[DigitalAnalog]

You're completely missing the point. Suppose I say I'm going to give you and your friend and "equal" amount of money, then I would proceed to give you $95 and your friend $100. By then, you would immedately evaluate the difference by stating to me that the money I gave you and your friend were not "equal". How you like it if my response would be: "well, $5 is not that much, I doubt you'd even notice?"

Crytek promised an EQUAL experience and they have to live up to that expectation. 100K pixels off is NOT equal, imagine what U2 and KZ3 could've done with that extra pixel budget?

-End of Line

[Computersaysno]

"100k pixel difference? more like just 100"

1152 x 720 = 829440 pixels

1024 x 720 = 737280 pixels

Or in other words, 360 is rendering approx 10 percent more resolution, or 90 thousand more pixels

[hesido]

Wow, you mean, in only one hour, Xbox users will be subjected to 9,953,280,000 more pixels than the PS3! (92160 * 30 * 60 * 60) And that will make the game much more awesome! Imagine what you can do with all those pixels!

/s

That said, if it was the other case, people would brag about how PS3 is so much stronger than the Xbox.

Guys, can't you find some middle ground? 10% pixel count is not much of a difference. Still, Xbox has a superb GPU, no doubt about it. But PS3 is a capable machine too. They are both good.

[ct03]

128 pixels times 720 pixels is a difference of 92,160 pixels.

[specialguest]

Are N4G PS3 owners not going to buy this game just because it's 100K less pixels?

LOL! This is really ridiculous. Only on N4G.

In reality, the difference cannot be detected unless you're some crazy graphic nut who was finicky about having every single micro details there. Details that cannot be detected with the naked eye.

This isn't GTA4 on the PS3 with sub-hd 640p!

[insomnium2]

@hesido

Haven't PS3's first party games shown you that PS3 is more than a "capable machine"? You simply can't give these kinds of handouts when there are games on PS3 that run rings around any given game on x360. You can't pity the PS3 owners for this. The "fault" lies in the gameENGINE which is built to run better on PC-based rigs. X360 is PC-based and PS3 is not.

There's absolutely no need to feel sorry or pity for us since multiplatform games do not define our gaming experience. Besides we all KNOW the reasons for these things so you feeling pity for us is kinda OLD.

Gosh I've been using the word "old" pretty much lately. Why are we seeing comments from 2006-2008 even today?

[Drekken]

If you think you would notice the difference with a naked eye... you are wrong.

You keep up your hyperbole about what the 360 has over PS3 and I will stick you with the reality of the situation... PS3 has more games. Period... As a gamer what matters to you? Sick games or 100pixels. I know you basically answered my question already, but it must be asked just to call out all of the stupidity in this article.

[hesido]

@insomnium

I don't even have xbox, Uncharted 1 and 2 are my most favourite games, and they do look the best among the current gen games. That doesn't change the fact that RSX is inferior to Xenos, which is hindering the quality of multiplatform games, because multiplatform devs cannot cater specifically to the Ps3's architecture.

I don't feel pity for Ps3 users, I am a ps3 user and I get the best possible games I want. This pixel counting needs to be over.

[insomnium2]

@hesido

I can't claim one way or the other about RSX or xenos since I'm not a tech head.

What I do know though is that when devs utilize the strenghts of the PS3 (CELL I would presume) they get a LOT more punch out of the hw in PS3 opposed to the x360. Doesn't matter if the RSX is inferior.

Devs however are reluctant to take advantage of teh CELL since the traditional PC-way of coding must be so much easier and cheaper since that's the way they've done it for years and years. This is why the PS3 is getting the short end of the stick even today with multiplats. It doesn't have anything to do with the hw. On the contrary.

If only the good'ol dollar wouldn't have so much to say in these things since it really is hindering the industry. This is one of the reasons the x360 has been dragging the PS3 all these years. Money and the good'ol ways of coding. Lucky for us Sony is willing to take the next step forward in software too. They had the hw locked down in the future from the getgo. Lately these passing years we've seen the next step in games too.

[seinfan]

You said ALMOST no difference. That doesn't mean no difference whatsoever.

[TheDivine]

Why do fangirls always say ps3 haz moor gamez? If you did research you would see the 360 has way more games released on it. Why does 720 vs 640 even matter? I can't tell the difference really. Alan wake was what 640 and looked as good as any game and more importantly was better. Damn you people can't even enjoy a game unless it's 1080 huh? You probably play plenty and can't even tell. Crysis 2 will own. Idk looks great to me.

[IcarusOne]

You guys are such babies. They said the experience would be equal. They didn't say the exact technical specs would be equal. Crying over a 100 pixel difference... Do you guys have any clue how utterly sad you are? Sorry for the personal attack, I'm just so sick and tired of fanboys whining over things that they'll NEVER EVEN NOTICE if they weren't specifically told about it.

Just play the game and judge it on its own merits. Pixel counters aren't gamers. They're menopausal women.

[xAlmostPro]

It's official, they bull shitted and got into microsofts bed.

They said that each version would make the most of eachconsole, which factually speaking would mean the pc version would be superior followed by the ps3 and then the 360..

Now we're hearing the ps3 by the looks of it is the sub-par version lol..Oh how typical crytek ;)

[seinfan]

Conspiracies... You all are truly insane. Why are you even complaining? It's obvious they're spending more time on the PC version anyway. The 360 and PS3 ones are simply ported versions and they probably had to sacrifice more things on the PS3 because the hardware isn't as compatible.

[xAlmostPro]

Where's the conspiracy theory?..

It's FACT that they said each version would run to the max on each console.. this has been a LIE(which is why im complaining).

It's also FACT that microsoft got the timed exclusive demo. They'll probably get some other time exclusive things.

I based my opinion on 2 facts, how is that a conspiracy theory?..

They are not ported versions at all, the cryengine 3(i think that's its name) builds all 3 versions simultaneously and adjusts itself to each consoles specifics(which is where they said it would max eaxh console). There's no ports.

As a ps3 consumer they completely lied, i have a right if i wish to use it to be annoyed by this. So do 360 owners aswell actually because that version is also sub-par when the 360 can also perform 720p. It's just slightly more insulting when they say it will max eaxh version hardware and then doesn't look half as good (on consoles) as certain exclusives.

So please do not call my "Truly insane" when i mention facts and you use false evidence to back up your claim.

As to anyone else, if your PC can run it, get it for that.

If the ps3 demo is good i may still buy the game i mean we're used to be shafted by developers, i just don't appreciate being lied to in attempts to get me to buy and be pleased about a product that is sub-par.

[seinfan]

You actually bought into the PR of they're graphics engine? There's no way they can optimize for PC and the other consoles at the same time. They'd have to create three completely different sets of code, which I doubt they did. It's still tantamount to a port, and I still say things were sacrificed for both consoles; more so for the PS3 because of compatibility issues. I've never heard of a program that magically works exactly the same for every OS and computer micro-architecture. It's just not possible. And yes, I understand it's able to work with different brands of computers, but there's a common ISA between them. Consoles are different.

[arjman]

Damn wtf! I run Crysis at 1280x800 on my macbook and it looks better than this!

[ngecenk]

buy killzone 3 instead! problem solved!

[MRMagoo123]

who would even buy crysis 2 instead of killzone 3 anyway if you own a ps3 you would of come to this conclusion before any of this even started killzone looks alot better plays alot better and will be the only choice for ps3 gamers, unless of course you have some extra money to waste killzone was the only choice

[jbiz320]

@MRMagoo123 idontknow maybe people that dont want a boring 84% rated FPS might want to look into Crysis2? truth hurts.

[Eyeco]

seriously crytek are so full of shit its incredible, What happened to "Maxing out consoles" they haven't even maxed out the 360 let alone the PS3 save your bravado for PC games

[ct03]

And how exactly do you know that it's not maxed out?

[awi5951]

Oh yeah i forgot most consoles have crappy physics engines and sorry draw distance. They must had to cut alot to get crysis 2 on consoles. Most console games; gears or killzone there isnt any draw distance. If its not within 50 feet away it looks like crap, full of smoke to hide things, or blurred out. IM playing it on Pc so it doesnt effect me.

[Eyeco]

Crysis 2 on the PC is the best looking game ever on consoles, its a far cry from even being the best ever or the best on consoles.

"Oh yeah i forgot most consoles have crappy physics engines and sorry draw distance. They must had to cut alot to get crysis 2 on consoles. Most console games; gears or killzone there isnt any draw distance."

Insult Gears and Killzone all you want i think they look better than Crysis 2 on CONSOLES!!

If Crysis 2 isn't a problem on your PC why are commenting on a CONSOLE SPECIFIC ARTICLE, is PC gaming news that dry today, this doesn't concern you so go and boast about your specs on some graphics thread whatever the hell PC whores do.

[Perkel]

And still Crysis don't look so good on consoles..

[awi5951]

@Eyeco
Because i have all 3 systems so i can. Why are you ps3 fanboys in every 360 article? Because you can so shut your mouth. Oh and does that taste of graphics sour grapes taste good ps3 fanboy? You never seem to mind when your doing it to the 360 lol.

[AyeGee]

Eh.. i don't really care. It's just graphics.. they weren't talking about shit like this back in the day, so i don't see how it should apply now. I only care about how they play.

[RBLAZE1988]

GUYS this is based on a screenshot from a compressed video by some guy on a forum. Let's wait for a demo or a final build before you guys lose your minds.

[xCaptainAmazing]

and do an analysis then. I hate the guys who post stuff based on a VIDEO analysis. Seriously, a video? How can you tell the resolution from a compressed video? When it's running in real time, we'll talk then. It's very possible that it does run in a lower resolution, but so did the 360 version. Not like I even care. The game looks great regardless and is likely going to be completely awesome.

[MNicholas]

To be fair, this is Crytek's first attempt on the Cell. Just look at the leap from Uncharted 1 to Uncharted 2.

Yet plenty of other studios never even bothered to optimize their engine for the PS3 and continue to successfully produce sub-par software and make millions (COD, for example).

As long as people keep buying, there's no reason to get better.

@Whitenoise,

you have no clue how MLAA works. It most certainly does not blur the whole scene. God of War 3 uses MLAA yet sports sharper textures than just about any other game on the market yet benefits from MLAA's ability to smooth edges equivalent to 8xMSAA.

[Darkfocus]

I find it horribly ironic that WhiteNoise got hidden for trolling when he said the truth, while Karooo says something completely offtopic and gets 100 agree's lol.

[B1663r]

I troll bubble WhiteNoise whenever I see him because he has been complaining about his silica vaginitis since 2005 back when Digg was relevant...

That dude has been trolling ps3 vs xbox article for 6 frigging years.

He is so trolly, I bet he doesnt even own a console, he just spends all his time trollin

[Persistantthug]

.

[aia12]

resolution isn't everything do you even know what crytek is going to do with the spare memory and bandwidth making the frame buffer sub hd freed up ? nope yet your bitching can you do a better job ? probably not. by the way crysis 2 is a sandbox game while kz3 is linear did you bother to take that into consideration ? nope you probably don't even know what I mean by that lol. The SPUs don’t have much to do with the possible framebuffer resolution(they only help with post procesing effects, lighting, physics and sometimes AA). The bottleneck for that lies elsewhere.
It also has little to do with the game being a multi-platform title. Cryengine 3 scales exceptionally well. 1st party 720p games like Killzone 3 have other limitations, such as very low res alpha buffers or lack of HDR. mlaa has its disadvantages because it doesn't have access to sub pixel level data(works only at the pixel level) while MSAA works at the sub pixel level. This makes msaa more costly but superior to MLAA because it will work on ANY surfece no matter how thin. do you even know that mlaa on kz3 runs simultaneously on 5 SPUs ? probably not because you fanboys never know anything about programing just a bunch of ignorant turds that think your beloved consoles are the most powerful machines on earth lol crysis 1 on high setting wipes the floor with anything you beloved ps3 and 360 will EVER be able to come up with so just imagine what crysis 2 will look like now that we are in the era of directx 11 gpus with up to 30 times the raw horsepower and several times the ram and memory bandwidth of any of your pathetic consoles.

[jahcure]

and people said this game was supposed to trump KZ3????? It isn't even touching KZ2 and this is for BOTH PS3 & Xbox360 console versions........ that's pretty sad Crytek

[RedDead]

Just goes to show developing a multiplat game is harder than a single platform game.

[WhiteNoise]

You realise that all the effects in crysis are real time and not baked on. Eg. It uses actual HDR lighting and not just deferred rendering like KZ3.

The draw distances are also much bigger than KZ3.

So have twice as much stuff rendered at a time with only a slight resolution drop and with all real time effects. I think it is definitely superior based on that.

[DigitalAnalog]

Turns out they utilize "deferred" lighting as well.

-End of Line

[Biggest]

Yeah. The draw distance is much greater on Crysis 2 once you get past the crazy pop in that the 360 version showed. Of course I am just basing my comment on the demo build. . . Just like you are.

[Metfanant]

baked on! haha!...KZ2 (not 3, 2) had levels with over 500 shadow casting light sources lol...Crysis 2? not so much...

as for deferred rendering...you realize that Crysis 2 uses DR as well right?...oops...fail...

as for draw distances...i hope they fixed them from the 360 demo...while the draw distance is impressive, it had TERRIBLE pop-in...huge draw distance is no good if the hardware can't load it all fast enough to avoid pop-in...i can also tell you have not played KZ3 all the way through if you're taking about the game not having some impressive draw distance...

KZ3's effects are all real-time...its lights all interact with the environment to cast shadows, and its particle effects are second to none...period...

[hoops]

@Metfanant

"KZ3's effects are all real-time"
"500 shadow casting light sources lol"

No they are not. Most of it is pre-calculated.
There is a HUGE difference in Real time and pre calculated light HDR sources and Global Illumination in real time. KZ3 uses most of it soft shadow/HDR/Lighting effects NOT in real time. The Cryengine 3 and the Frost Bite Engine 2.0 does.

Crysis 2 uses BOTH HDR and Deferred Rendering.
KZ3 uses almost ALL deferred rendering. That is common knowledge.
And the HDR it uses is low FP. Then again so is the Xbox360's version LOL. Just get the PC version for god sakes LOL

KZ3/2 does not use Global Illumination in real time. The Cryengine 3 does. I don't even think KZ3 uses Global Illumination period real time or not to be honest.
The reality is the Cryengine 3 is a more advanced engine than the KZ3 engine.
Moreover it has greater draw distance capabilities AND better calculation algorithms for destructible environments. And I am not talking about DESTRUCTIBLE SET PIECES like shooting tiles and boxes etc.
Two game engines that are setting the pace right now is the Cryengine 3 and Frost Bite 2.0 (and those will be bastardized by the consoles inability to take full advantage of its full features)

[juggulator]

WRONG. CryEngine3 uses deferred lighting. They boast it in their "Beauty" trailer. But you also have to realize that the type of game and setting depend on what type of lighting is required. Crysis2 required Global Illumination in real time because the game has a dynamic day and night cycle.

Here's a quote from the latest Game Informer that covered Battlefield3 "Frostbite 2 comes with powerful new features like deferred lighting, real-time radiosity,and dynamic shadowing that allow the art team to use pre-calculations to get the lighting up and running in a fraction of the time." So don't kid yourself, ALL devs use pre-calculations because it makes life easier for them. It's all about efficiency.

[shoddy]

Kids just say Crysis 2 is the graphic king on console and they didn't even play the final product.

With all that talk from crytek, there is no excuse for being sub HD.

So what have we learn today? Don't bother praising a multiplat games
to match ps3 exclusive.

Bu bu but wait for Rage! Graphic king on console!!!

[P_Bomb]

Seeing a far off object you'll never get to go to isn't as immersive when there are plants, objects and textures popping in as you're almost on top of them. In this regard Crysis 2 is no better than DCUO, but that's also a streaming open world MMORPG. What's Crysis' excuse?

[Dude420]

@ juggulator

Real-time Dynamic Global Illumination

CryENGINE® 3 features a novel real-time dynamic global illumination solution, fully optimized for current and next generation platforms. For the first time – without pre-computation or geometric limits – you can experience light-bounces, color bleeding and specular effects in a real-time game engine – unified for all static and dynamic objects.

Deferred Lighting

The CryENGINE® 3 unique deferred lighting solution allows the rendering of a vast amount of light sources with per pixel shading efficiently and simplifies engine performance tuning across multiple platforms.

Natural Lighting & Dynamic Soft Shadows

CryENGINE® 3 features near-reality natural lighting at low-cost on multiple platforms and creates soft shadows that dynamically respond to natural movements in real time. High-resolution, perspective correct and volumetric smooth-shadow implementations are also included in CryENGINE® 3.

The engine uses all of this at the same time, just saying.

[SuicideShaun]

Bubbles for your intelligence, we need more people who know what they are talking about on this site.

[starchild]

Crysis. 2 on consoles is still doing more than Killzone 3. Some people are just butthurt.

[Ju]

^^ That's interesting how people know. I mean, we can play KZ3 (not just watch movies). You obviously played Crysis2 (on PS3), I guess, didn't you? Thought so.

[tinezedw]

So it's only sub hd on ps3?if that's the case it's freaking hilarious.

[jahcure]

humour me tinezedw...why is it hilarious? You think this is a flaw on the hardware or another mindless company bash? Don't you get tired of the same thing every day?

The xbox version is NOT good either..or are you conveniently missing that?

[theonlylolking]

It is hilarious because of all the comments crytek has made. Then they get beat by like 5 PS3 exclusives that are all in 720p.

[mittwaffen]

The Xbox has UNIFIED shaders, the PS3 has Vertex and Pixel shaders.

Anyone who understands this, knows why PS3 tends to have sub HD Mplat titles.

Nuffsaid.

RDR says hi again to the PS3 fanboys.

[tinezedw]

they said they would take advantage of the hardware so i thought it would a least be as good as kz2,since that's not the case and that's why i find it funny.and this game was supposed to beat kz3 even funnier,the hopes aof lots of xbox fanboys have been crushed lol.

[Chris399]

From the MP demo. So its sub-HD on both platforms.

[Tinasumsum]

Not true I'm sure there would have been 1000 articles about it as well. You can tell the PS3 version is foggier, fuzzier and washed out from the game play and playing the 360 version ;)

[Chris399]

http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

Digital foundry:

"Native resolution on Xbox 360 is confirmed at 1152x720"

7 paragraphs into the story.

Edit: Only on N4G can people disagree with actual facts lol. Its subHD on both platforms, deal with it people.

[Darrius Cole]

Errr......Isn't 720p 1280 x 720?

That would mean that it technically is Sub-HD on both consoles, just that Crysis 2's 360 resolution is better than its PS3 resolution.

[Drekken]

Chris, dont waste your breath or typing to these twits. I will say what I have said since the beginning of this horrible generation of consoles which spawned gamers willing to accept faulty broken hardware and claim it be be king: I own a PC and a PS3 and that is all I need.

These guys are so delusional they will deny Crysis is sub-HD on both platforms when it is proven. The difference isnt even worth an article or the 300+ comments that will come from it.

[Tinasumsum]

Why bother LMAO. If the people in here wan't to use your damage control comments as comfort who am I to stop them.

I just hope Elder Scolls Skyrim won't be ignored, the developers are doing the same hiding the PSS3 version and showing the 360 version tactic. Making public statements talking up the PS3 version but not showing it is always a bad sign. Will Skyrim be a crappy game that is a crappy console port as well? Will fanboys say only the PC version matters about that game too, if the PS3 version end up being the inferior console version?

[thewhoopimen]

@Tinasum:
Stop with the fanboyism. It's retarded. Your strawman arguments are pointless. Chris399 is simply pointing out the inaccuracies of your statement. Try to not kick yourself on the way out.

[fuckoffodion]

I'll probably lose a bubble but the mods are just terrible at their jobs. They gave chris a personal attack yet leave people troll and say far much worse on this site. I'll say this once and i'll say it again, but Odion loves being a mod dictator.

This bubble system is the worse. "PS3 fanboys" don't run this site, it's the mods.

[crzyjackbauer]

i wouldnt laugh if its sub-hd on 360
one yearl older than the ps3
but for the ps3 to have so many sub-hd games is just sad but true
freaking hilarious

[Undeadwolfy]

and the developers are to blame for that. If first party developers can do 720p for pretty much every game, why cant multi-plat devs? #lazy

[crzyjackbauer]

@undeadwolfy
the ps3 dosent make it easy for developers
and the developers arent going to spend more time and money to make the ps3 version better if it takes more time out of the production
the have deadlines
so the just make the game playable

[rdgneoz3]

"and the developers arent going to spend more time and money to make the ps3 version better if it takes more time out of the production"

And that's why many PS3 owners don't buy some multiplat games, because the developers are too lazy to match the quality of PS3 exclusives.

[baodeus]

@rdgneoz3

And i guess you don't know a thing or two about business. Do you really think Sony is happy with just exclusives? If you only support exclusives, but not 3rd parties, do you have any idea how that gonna affect Sony business wise? It is not like 3rd parties games that bad either on ps3. They are still very comparable. So how a game is perceived now a day is by pixel, not because for it stories, gameplay, etc...which are far more important elements for a good game?

U guys don't really think further than that do you.

[DaTruth]

I think it is you that knows nothing about business! Why would I want games I merely get a few licensing dollars for taking money from games I make, publish and license!

Since Sony makes most of their money from SW sales, it seems they would want to sell more games they make more money from!

They will make ten times the money from KZ3 as they will from Crysis 2, so obviously they would want Crysis 2 to be crap, so all PS3 owners buy Killzone 3 instead!

[XabiTheHumble]

Tinasumsum is the perfect example of a sore loser ROFL!

[distorted_reality]

Not exactly a surprise. The place to play this was always going to be on the PC. Game will still sell pretty well though imo.

[NickN4G]

I don't give a shit, if the game plays well I will buy it.

[SuperLupe]

Well said, I dont give a damn about resolution. Thats the LAST very very LAST thing I'll even bother trying to find out. Hell, I actualy would never bother knowing the resolution for a game as long as it looks good enough.

[guigsy]

Exactly, like anyone will be able to tell the difference when it's in motion. The gameplay is what ultimately makes or breaks a game.

[stuntman_mike]

this is the big con Crytek has been running for years, get everyone in a debate about resolution and graphic fidelity so that it hides the flaws in actual game play. the first game may have looked spectacular but once you got past that the game play was boring.

[ManiacMansion]

Now the 360 held back the PS3 development of crysis2... although the PS3 version is SUB HD :D

damn.. the PS3 has right now more SUB HD games as the 360.

And WTF has KZ3 to do in this topic?? PS3boys again search for excuses:D?

FACT is that crysis 2 is way more open as KZ3.. with real lightning.. making the game a more tech. masterpeace as KZ3.

KZ3 / UC2.. these game could easily run on the 360 hardware with their fake rendering.

[suicidalblues]

"KZ3 / UC2.. these game could easily run on the 360 hardware with their fake rendering."
- then where are the better looking games?

And FACT, you should learn to spell (masterpeace) and write a proper sentence so people won't think you're a 7 yr old.

[baodeus]

go look up on Resdident evil 5 (720p, 30fps,) and no kz2/uc2/GoW3 has better lighting, texture (close up), explosion, etc.... If you don't agree, let post pictures, videos from any of those to resident evil 5 then we can discuss.

And yes, if you look closely, KZ2 really suffer from baked shadow, really poor polygonal shapes and textures, deffered light sources or baked lighting (not real time), fake physics = just visual and doesn't have any real physical properties (except the particles effects). If you don't agree, i can post a youtube video and take you through all the things i just mention as well, but if i do that, i expect you guys at least try to dispute it if you can. Empty disagree, would only mean that i'm right.

There are better looking games if you willing to look for it. But i wouldn't bother, it seems you guys don't play anything else beside ps3 games so what is the point?

[showtimefolks]

lol

i know you 14 years old lol

[ksense]

"KZ3 / UC2.. these game could easily run on the 360 hardware with their fake rendering."

got proof? Because i don't see anything that xbox has offered so far that has come close to uc2 or kz3 graphics.

[Metfanant]

oh i'd love to see how KZ3 and UC2 use "fake rendering." The fact that you called any of it "fake rendering" shows me you have ZERO clue as to what you're talking about lol...

[Ju]

"FACT is that crysis 2 is way more open as KZ3"

Hm...does not matter. What matters is total polycount on screen (after all, that's what you render. Near costs actually more because must render with higher precision).

I reserve my opinion about Crysis2 for now - I think it looks great.

But I am playing (!) KZ3 right now, and from all those reports and videos floating around, I would say you haven't seen nothing yet. Open or not, look at the details and number of NCPs on screen in KZ3. I recommend the finishing "jungle" scene in the campaign.

If you still think that Crysis2 beats that, well, then I can't help you.

[Heavy_Rain]

Exactly!! Man I was floored by the jungle fight .The ligthing is gorgeous! and also the part where the spider mech confronts the exo in the beginning of KZ3.. Fkkkkkk the graphics are astounding!

[wicko]

@ManiacMansion:

Wow, fake rendering huh? Some advanced terminology right there, can you explain to me how that works? I don't think I'm smart enough to figure it out.

[Toman85]

No 360 game hasnt beaten my Uncharted 1 yet, and that game came out in 2007, no games beats it visually. Alan wake, conviction (sub-hd). And still no fps on 360 looks like kz2... Coming from 18 consoleowner ;)

[mrv321]

'the 360 held back the PS3 development of crysis2... although the PS3 version is SUB HD :D'- Isn't the 360 version ALSO SUB-HD it is...OH.

'damn.. the PS3 has right now more SUB HD games as the 360.'- Proof? Because the PS3 has more 1080p games than the 360.

'And WTF has KZ3 to do in this topic?? PS3boys again search for excuses:D?' Mentioning two competing products one able to do stuff and one braggin about pushing said console... they are both FPS's both released around the same time. It's quite fair really.

'FACT is that crysis 2 is way more open as KZ3.. with real lightning.. making the game a more tech. masterpeace as KZ3.' You do REALIZE both are linear FPS's right? And that in my opinion Killzone 3 looks far more superior.

'KZ3 / UC2.. these game could easily run on the 360 hardware with their fake rendering.' Yeah, they could run so easily that in the EXTRA year the 360 has been out there has been MANY games that have came out on it that look better than those two game you listed like... erm... erm... Oh god, they haven't I wonder why. I wonder why not even Microsoft has been able to produce a single game which rivals a two year old game.

[thewhoopimen]

@baodeus: Resident Evil 5 also runs on the ps3... hardly much of an argument. And no. Resident Evil's environment are far more static than either UC2 or KZ3. Moving on.

[graciousd]

After a lot of promises on Crysis 2, it seems that Crytek with their Cryengine couldn't hold up to gamer expectation.

To all Crysis fans, the game seems to run very smoothly on both platforms, I think we should get over it and forget about pixel counting, but be ready to play the beast!

[MegaMohsi]

console ram = 512 mb (can't even run the first crysis)

PC ram = as much as you want

Did people really think this could even be a native 720 game on consoles? come on.

[diehardgamer1000]

"Did people really think this could even be a native 720 game on consoles? come on"

No we ddnt thnk,crytek said they were pushing the console to its limits.

[MegaMohsi]

lol typical 3rd party gibberish

[Corrwin]

Any game can get to a native 720p if they cut enough features.

"HD" is the biggest con this generation. Half the games that run SD look better than some HD games.

[MegaMohsi]

pc games were doing "hd" 10 years ago so i agree with you.

[EskiJoe]

I know this is a minor issue but:

32 bit environment = 4 GB memory
64 bit environment = 192 GB memory

Assuming Windows 7 Ultimate OS.

src: http://msdn.microsoft.com/e...

[wissam]

MegaMohsi

is Crysis 2 a sandbox game ?

[MegaMohsi]

I hope it is, that was one of the defining features of Crysis and Warhead.

[Ju]

"Did people really think this could even be a native 720 game on consoles? come on."

Tell that to ND, Guerilla and Insomniac. I guess they didn't get that memo. Or Sucker Punch (open world).

[RevXM]

As much as I want?
1TB gief!

Seriously though, there is no chance in hell consoles would run Crysis 1 as on a pc with 2+ GB ram.

But Crysis 2 is perhaps a different story.
Its not nescacirily a less dynamic game, but the needed amount of memory is a result of less interactive or dynamic shit in one scene at a time.
a forrest with 20 000 larger plants versus city with 20 trees and bushes plus perhaps 600 windows...not 100 % accurate but you get the idea.

But yes I expected 720p for consoles.
It doesnt matter that much though I prefer it on Pc anyways, but I most likely get one of the console versions too.

[Burning_Finger]

Two words: Multi-platform. nuff said.

[Undeadwolfy]

Lol isn't it ironic how the youtube video in the article is playable in "720p"

[Corrwin]

Sub HD when measured through Youtube's 720p stream.

So you know the results are infallible :|

[kasasensei]

Take a look here: http://forum.beyond3d.com/s...

Who gives a fck about true resolution of a game? Honestly!

[floetry101]

Are people actually not going to buy it on the basis that it's sub-HD on both consoles?

Vanquish people. If it runs good, if it plays good, then who cares?

[Ninver]

Um i thought the reason we bought HD TVs was to play games in 720p at the minimum?

As a consumer i have demands. If you can't meet them then GTFOut my face. I'll save my money for a better product simple.

[CoLD FiRE]

Maybe you should have bought a gaming PC as well.

[floetry101]

@Dirty Beaver

Send a letter to Crytek in that case. Inform them that their PC game, running on the Cry Engine 3 which just barely fit on to a console, isn't up to scratch.

The simple fact of the matter is, neither console can handle it properly. The 360 has concessions, as does the ps3. The game still looks exceptional. You've obviously got the inane thought process of 'if Killzone 3 can look that good in 720p, then anything multiplatform can'.

Crysis 2 is made on 3 platforms, the main of which is PC. 1080p, 60fps, console destroying even on medium settings.

There's consumer protection, and then there's consumer retardation. You form the latter.

[Optical_Matrix]

After all that took of having the best graphics on consoles, doing things that other shooters can't do, yet Crytek can't even get the game to run in 720p, while Gears and Killzone both do. Should have kept your mouths SHUT Crytek.

[starchild]

Some of you are acting like idiots. You act like resolution is all that matters. In that case when I play Super Mario Bros emulated on my PC at 1080p or higher I guess that means that it looks better than Uncharted 2.

Crysis 2 is barely below 720p on the 360 and it still does far more and looks better than any exclusive at 720p.

[solidjun5]

Be quiet. You're so full of ish...as usual. Whatever you're smoking, it has to be that good.
As Ju responded above to your other ridiculous post:
"1 mean, we can play KZ3 (not just watch movies). You obviously played Crysis2 (on PS3), I guess, didn't you? Thought so. "

[stuna1]

The moral of this story!
People shouldn't make claims, they can't back up. I think it was apparent from the offset that crysis 2 was going to show it true potential on it's home territory, which is the pc.
Crytec +Crysis =PC plain and simple.

[hesido]

The difference is not all that much. Why belittle a good job? PS3 version looks similar to other versions, and it plays the same. I think calling it the inferior version would not be fair.

[BeaArthur]

Play games not graphics. Who gives a shit, so people get caught up on resolution and 720p and all that other crap. Just play the freaking game if you like it.

[hesido]

But BeaArthur, as you know, the average gamer pauses the game, gets a screen-dump, loads the image on an editor, and starts counting the pixels for duplicate ones.

We should demand a refund for every pixel duplicated on screen. I pay money to a game and I want every pixel to be unique!

Games are good when you pause them, and carefully look at the screen from 10 inches. That's the only way gamers enjoy their games, I guess.

/s

[BeaArthur]

hahah, exactly. I don't know when we all started caring so much about graphics but people need to move on.

[wicko]

What a lot of people don't realize is that it's not a lower resolution because the developers are lazy. They intentionally lower it so they have the ability to do other things instead. Sacrifice a bit of resolution that you'd never notice from just playing the game in order to improve lighting or allow more particle effects, etc.

1st party titles look so amazing because the developers can focus on one platform, and wrt to PS3, they get help from the ICE team. Multiplatform devs don't have that kind of assistance, unfortunately.

[Ninver]

LOL and people actually believed Crytek when they said they were developing Crisis 2 independently on each system to show their strengths. I am mostly a PS3 gamer and i'm proud to say i have many standards for my games, and 720p HD is one of them. GTFOutta here with this half assed turd. If Most ps3 exclusives can have 720p HD then why can't you do it. Now we know why they held out on showing ps3 footage. More reason why i stay away from multiplat games.

Oh well. Back to KZ3. Next stop R3.

I'm calling it now. Battlefield 3 sub-HD on consoles.

[tobysims]

Maybe that's all PS3 can handle. PS3 exclusives are hand painted cartoony linear games. Anything more brings PS3 to a crawl. The best PS3 can do with photo realism is color filtered low rez cartoony ART like KZ2/3.

Detailed games with color have to be cartoony hand painted games that are linear like Uncharted. Anything more open than Uncharted and PS3's smoke and mirrors short cuts are useless and PS3 starts to show its real capability.

[Ninver]

your response would make more sense if Infamous 2 wasn't a ps3 exclusive.

[strickers]

That may be the dumbest post I've read on here in a few weeks.That is really saying something.

[Drekken]

That was seriously the stupidest thing anyone has said today. I will now close N4G for the day... Thanks for the hand print on my face.

[TheTruth89]

crysis 2 is linear, and still sucks (on consoles)

Get your retarded theories out of there, troll.

[LOLOLFFSA]

You must be kidding right? You choose not to play a certain game because it's not 720p? You are a joke. The resolution does not make the game, content and playability is.

[baodeus]

@uberjonez

seeing u getting disagree, i guess content and playability doesn't make the game. LOL. This site is so funny at times.

@drekken
if you have to close n4g for one stupid comment, dude, i don't know how u manage to be on n4g if at all.

@kagon01

"The only third party that understood the PS3 was Konami... "

MGS4 is also sub HD, less resolution than Crysis 2. Are U sure? But it also point out something else, subHD game can be good game. Mgs4 is what, the 2nd/3rd highest rated game on ps3. Again a few missing pixels doesn't make the game. If you want to support sony, not buying a game from 3rd parties because it misses a few pixels, isn't helping. Seriously, just go tell that to Sony and tell them u only gonna buy their exclusives, and see how they respond. I'm serious, because many of you seem to think what u are doing is supporting Sony.

No wonder developers are throwing out contents, playability for the sake of how it looks instead. Sad really.

[starchild]

Oh well, I guess you didn't play the Ratchet & Clank games either since they are sub-HD on the PS3.

To miss out on one of the best looking games just because it is slightly below 720p is sad.

[SuperStrokey1123]

Well Crytec, looks like you failed... a lot of talk that they cant back up. At first they said it would be the best looking game on any platform, nope. Then they said it would be in the top 3 on any platform, nope. They said the console versions would be identical, nope.

All of that and now this, its just proving that they simple do not know how to optomize. They can write games that look super amazing but when they need to do it under restrictions they cant. Shame really.

[macky301]

Oh no I better not spend my 60euros on it,..
O wait I am not buying it anyway,..

PS: resolution does not great graphics make,.. I could probably run Quake3 Arena at 4096×2304 @240fps ,.. Would not mean much,..

pps: It is a bit surprising, since Crysis2 really doesn't look all that great in hardcore mode in leaked 'beta',.. And Crytek are really not the masters of game design,..

[yewles1]

First, they said the PS3 version was running better than the 360 version. Then, they said it was even between both platforms. Face it, guys, Crytek LIED!

[Motorola]

They should be able to pull of a 720p version of this game. I cant see why not...just too lazy?

[TheTruth89]

Yep, too lazy to improve and optimize the game on every platoform!

But hey... i can understand that.

[aia12]

consoles have very little ram and for the features their putting into the console engine the deserve some respect. You can't do a better job can you ?

[Motorola]

Uncharted 2 is 720p..Killzone 3 and 3 are 720p. Killzone 2 on PS3 looks better than Crysis 2 on PS3. No excuses.

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

I wonder when Multiplat Devs will start to program a game like the 1st Party Developers from PS3.

[kagon01]

Never...

The only third party that understood the PS3 was Konami...

[vandal GAB]

Never...

The only third party that understood the PS3 was Konami...

Wasn't MGS4 1024 x 768 SUB HD yeah sounds like they understood the ps3 pretty well! I remember people saying it's the best looking game too!

And for F#ck sake people wait for the god damm demo then lets talk about crysis 2 graphics.

[MARKUS_MAX1MUS]

ohh ohhh one window frame in the whole of the game is sub HD, it must mean the whole game is!

mehhh graphics are not even what makes this game good, for everyone banging on about KIllzone 3s graphics im playing the first few missons now were rico and sev are making their way though the visari district.

The debris has really blocky textures and the ammo crates do aswell, and the captain of the ISA forces head looked pretty square when he squared up (pardon the pun) to rico for killing visari.

Im playing it on a 46 inch Panasonic Vierra TV aswell so its not my TV, theres also a great deal of pop in textures, as I said the rubble in the city looks like suare PS2 graphics, theres a shitload of clipping, no AA.

Dont get me wrong Killzone 3s snow effects and overall look are an achievement for consoles but dont go round bashing other games (which btw arent even out yet)claiming Killzone 3 has the bestest graphics EVAR!11 because the simple fact is, it doesnt. PC games from as far back as 2007 have better graphics.

Crysis looks bland in dark areas sure but when you see the lighting effects (which killzone has none of) thats when you see how good the game really looks.

[Metfanant]

the fact that you mention no AA in KZ3 shows how little you know what you're talking about...

[MARKUS_MAX1MUS]

So killzone 3 does have AA then? despite niether console actually having proper AA? shows you know nothing if thats what your trying to say.

[a_bro]

Killzone 3 has MLAA. That method of AA is apparently as good as 16xmsaa

thats why it looks very sharp, like God of War III which uses this method.

but it requires aparently an spu (1 spu) to do it.

at the end of the day, 3rd party devs are too lazy to look at these methods that are available on a console like the PS3, i mean, this is already pre-installed in their dev kits!

[Pandamobile]

MLAA is NOT as good as 16x MSAA. I can see plenty of jaggies in games that use MLAA like the KZ3 beta, GOW3, LBP2, etc.

MLAA is better than nothing, but it sure as hell isn't anywhere near as good as 16x MSAA. It looks more like 2x MSAA in all honesty.

[thewhoopimen]

@panda and myotherhatisurmom:

Not True.

[aia12]

you ignorant retard. MLAA works at the PIXEL level making it inferior to MSAA that runs at the SUB PIXEL level. do some research before talking rubbish would you. there are jaggies in kz3 because MLAA doesn't have access to sub oixel level data and so doesn't work on all surfaces(thin surfaces in particular where it doesn't work AT ALL)

[Heavy_Rain]

What the hell are you smoking. KZ3 has no AA?.It has MLAA. Every freakin site has said its the most gorgeous shooter on consoles. My jaw dropped at the stunning lighting , the amount of particles on scree, the smoke the dust and what not. Do yourself a favour http://www.eurogamer.net/ar... Read this and get your head examined. Lets see Crysis 2 Console analysis and lets see who eats crow. Right now I think KZ3 fans are in a very comfortable situtation.

[mstoner82]

I'm not too sure what you are talking about. Your brightness up too high? Because I played through it twice on a 65 inch Samsung LED in both 2d and 3d, and I didn't notice pixelation to the point you are talking here. I did notice a few clipping episodes...and quite a few trigger bugs.

Other than that, I'd say it was okay.

Crysis should look awesome as well. I don't know, I am not agreeing nor am I disagreeing, because graphics really aren't my thing in games, I just found the "blocky" comment oidd.

[HelghastDrake]

"sub hd" wtf does this even mean?I own Halo 3 and it looks perfecly fine on my tv, just like the difference between 720p and 1080p, lets stop kidding ourselves. There are NO apparent differences between the 2.

[SuperStrokey1123]

You cant see teh difference between 720p and 1080p? really? Its not that hard unless you are at a distance or have a rather small TV.

Anyways the resuloution they are saying it is is 1024x720.

[Metfanant]

Technically your TV scaled EVERYTHING to its native resolution...so if you have a 1080p TV, everything you see on your TV is in 1080p...even SD TV channels are upscaled to 1080p by your TV...

[Pandamobile]

Yea, that's why they look like shit.

[Too_many_games]

who gives a rats ass? you people complain about everything

[xtremegamerage]

On futher inspection i do not trust that video one bit.

HD is not hd and i'm not talking about the game itself.

Fonts are wrong, both in game and at the beginning showing the pegi information itself.

Looks like SD footage upscaled.

[rajman]

Cmon Crytek, if Guerilla Games can get Killzone 3 to look so amazing and at 720p surely you can to.

[DelbertGrady]

Always bet on Duke...and the 360 version of console multiplats.

[Biggest]

OH!!! I know the answer to this question! You mean PC, right? When Uncharted 2 and Killzone 2/3 popped up that was the fall back plan. Since Crysis 2 is actually on the PC and cheaper, always bet on the PC version of multiplats!

[maverick40]

epic fail!!

[kasasensei]

oopss

[fullmetal297]

I can run Crysis in 1080p native on my PC. Just saying...

[ZeroX9876]

yep! I was just about to say this too. what does console have to do with crysis? it's a PC game to show the power of new graphics card. console gamers can't even think of having the same graphics. that's why Battlefield 3 PC is the version I'll get. I still love my PS3/360 (and wii...), but they can't compete with PC for graphics.

[fullmetal297]

I know right. Console gamers should be thankful for Cyrtek even considering making a Crysis Game for consoles, but they get insults and flak for the game being in Sub-HD. They only so much for what little they have.

[Too_many_games]

You do know Graphics are not very indicative of how good a game is right?

[ZeroX9876]

@Too_many_games
Did I say anything about the gameplay?
Crysis 1 was a good game for me. Don't know for crysis 2, will have to wait and see more gameplay.
But the topic over here is graphics, so PC still wins. And don't bring the " ah pc gaming is expensive, you have to upgrade every year, etc...". You want the 100% experience, then get ready to pay for it. I paid 700$ last year for my PC and I can still play crysis at full graphics and games like starcraft 2, supreme commander, Bioshock series and many more. The only thing I need this year is a new video card and this depends on BF3 specs.

don't get me wrong, I got all popular consoles there is starting with the NES all the way to the ps3/360/wii. Killzone 3 is a BEAST on the ps3! graphicaly, for what I saw, KZ3 is still superior than crysis 2 on consoles. Just imagine for one second that you could play killzone 3 on a pc, like what kind of graphics could we have!??!

[Masterchef2007]

nah the PS3 version wont be sub HD this is just a hoax.

[Krakn3Dfx]

How's this going to make the game more or less fun?

I love these articles, until I start reading the fanatical fanboy back and forths, which takes it out of me pretty quickly.

You want it to look the best? Drop some dough on a game worthy PC. Bickering back and forth about 640p or 720p on 4-5 year old consoles when computers are running GPUs a good 10x more powerful than what the 360 or PS3 are packing is just silly. Of course they're going to have to cut corners and drop resolutions. Welcome to console gaming. It's not going to make a good game bad, or make a shitty game good either way.

[prongs123]

this is bogus.Crysis 2 is going to rock on PS3!

[xtremegamerage]

@Tina.

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

Ouch is all i can say. Screentearing in that would give you headaches. And it looks worse then the PS3 footage btw.

[HaVoK308]

Yet another reason I buy all Multi-platform games for my 360 rather than my PS3.

[gamingisnotacrime]

poor effort

[hoops]

If you have a PC you should buy almost all your multi-plats on the PC.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

I think the core of what Crytek was trying to say is that to the average person Crysis 2 wont look really any different on one console or the other. Unless you hook them up side by side or do the crazy comparisons N4G is known for the games will look the same.

[gamingisnotacrime]

all the hype talk from crytek, it was obvious the game was not the 2nd coming they predicted

[Tzuno]

"it only does lies" apart from sub-HD mwuahahaahahhhhh!!!!

[Krakn3Dfx]

Oh you mean like Halo 3 on the Xbox 360?

Stop being an ass.

[Tzuno]

Killzone is over-hyped by obsessed fan-boys and the only Halo I've played was Reach but Killzone 3 was told that use full power of ps3 and that is a lie. All that i want to say is that Sony lie like a child.

[PirateThom]

What does Killzone have to do with anything you or Krakn3Dfx said?

Nothing?

Oh, well, at least Guerilla can make their game run in 720p and have better graphics than Crysis 2 on the same platform.

[Barajas_201]

knew it, killzone 3 is the shit

[JonnyBigBoss]

I really have no interest in this game anyway. Killzone 3 is just so much fun to play...

[Bounkass]

So is the XBox 360 version... What's your point gamersmint?

[ReBurn]

How do so many of you guys play your games directly from the framebuffer?

Of all of the silly arguments there are, this one is the silliest. The number of pixels in each frame has nothing to do with how much fun a game is. And, quite honestly, it has very little to do with how good the graphics are. If the textures are good enough the "upscale" effect on them isn't even noticeable.

Just goes to show that people need something to argue over.

[gameman]

lol guys chill out the game for the console is running 720p what do you expect ???

+ he only talked about the ps3 what about the 360??? i really adout it run higher + this is no news ppl most of the game run 720p so bots just shut it the game is still 720p mabey less on the 360

[Beahmscream]

Epic Fail. PC FTW.

[Rhezin]

yeah Crysis is made for the PC. The move to consoles? mehhh. I mean I'm a console player and I still think it doesn't belong. Just like Half-Life on consoles or even this rumor of bringing Diablo 3 to consoles, it just doesn't mix. Gotta have a PC for these games to see the true visual quality shine not to mention a mouse and keyboard.

[hoops]

And this is surprising? From early reports the Xbox360 version is ALSO SubHD.

[killalot100]

people if you feel this strongly about res then get a pc.

[sarshelyam]

I mean, I thought we established that nearly ALL Xbox 360 games are claiming to run in full 1080p when all they push is a sub-par res (in many cases), or an upscaled resolution at best. You can bet on the fact that if one platform is utilizing a Native Res of 720p, they aren't spending the time to up-res another (with the exception of PC's which are crunching these numbers in a completely different way).

Sorry, but you just can't say the PS3 version is sub-HD without also saying the Xbox 360 version is also, natively, sub-HD.

[TABSF]

Like many people fail to see the power of the CryEngine

Crytek in 2007 was using technology that no developer even in 2011 is using.
Crytek are bringing Hollywood CGI to gamers in Real-Time.

Others have said Killzone 3 > Crysis 2 graphics yet don't even know what is happening in the background.

http://mycryengine.com/ (technology tab at the top)
http://crytek.com/cryengine...
http://crytek.com/cryengine...
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

All these technologies that all happen in real-time, not rendered in a server farm.
You import and object and the engine knows how to map the lighting and shadowing dynamic even with 24Hr cycle and much more, no other game engine can do this.

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

Like Yerli says you need at least 2GB RAM to run everything at maximum, other wise you have have small bubble worlds (corridor shooters).
Everything even down to individuals leafs have dynamic shadow and specular lighting.
Volumetric clouds and Smoke which again dynamic react to light and shadowing

Real-time all the time

Only Developer to come close to what Crytek was doing in 2007 is Id with Id Tech 5, we are yet to see a game running it which is released.
Even the up coming latest Unreal Engine does not feature technologies that Crytek had on Crysis on 2007

Hell CryEngine 2 is 8th Gen ready, Crytek is 5 years ahead of any other developer.

[gamerstation151]

The ps3 version would probably be 720p native if they used MLAA. Not that it matters,we wont see any difference.

[warrior9988]

just what i expected

[Mkai28]

If you have a good HDTV, you won't notice the low res so many people are complaining about. I also disagree with the saying that the 360 version is slowing down the PS3 version.

Companies just don't want to put all they're resources, time, and effort on a machine that will probably sell less than it's competitor. As many have stated, this is nothing new. Multi plats have for the most part, always been like this.

Is this not why we get exclusives for the PS3, and multi plats for the 360? Get with the program and fall in line, third party devs are not saints. They will tell you anything to get sales. You shocked gamers should realize this by now.

[MGRogue2017]

Getting it for mah' Xbox 360. :)

My PS3 won't feel lonely anyway 'cause it's got Killzone 3.

[DEADEND]

Well I'll be getting the PC and PS3 version day one. I'll be playing the PS3 version until I can build a rig that can run it on max settings.

[StarScream4Ever]

Cevat Yerli > YOU LIE!

I'll getting my investment worth on the PC version.

[gk07]

lovin my pc right about now : )

[Master of Unlocking]

That Mazinger dude says he came to that conclusion based only on the video that was leaked yesterday...WTF, how can you make such a claim from a vid that's most of the time compressed as hell.

Besides, the way he comes up with that comment on neogaf leads me to believe he's just a troll in disguise craving for attention, so I'll take what he says with a grain of salt.

Oh, and he's wrong on another thing: Crysis 2 is not the most tech advanced game ever, Killzone 3 is the game to beat now.

[Inzo]

Pass, KZ3 FTW.

[SSKILLZ]

Battlefield 3 and uncharted 3 are gonna shit all over this !

[bobrea]

Who fucking cares. It'll still be the same as the 360 version. crysis is meant for pcs. The 360 demo sucked serious ass

[ilovemyps3]

lol, more news liks this to come, i guess.

i got 10 "disagrees" and 0 agrees, on my post here, post #54, atomike.

http://n4g.com/news/702392/...

go check it, will you click "disagree" as well?

i wish i was wrong. really. for my ps3, and for all your ps3s. unfortunately, that's the way it is. no more, no less.

[amguitarman]

I loved the first Crysis. And not for the graphics (my pc never could muster enough power for High settings). I loved the first Crysis because it's a badass FPS. And I'm sure I'll love Crysis 2 for the same reason.

[jneul]

the 360 version also runs in sub hd, lets move along ppl please

[Mr Tretton]

Yeah, people that have played both say they are identical.

[Master of Unlocking]

Who the f*ck disagreed with me??? Killzone 3 is the new king of the FPS genre, period. GTFO disagreeing little prats! Go get a life instead of spending your days & nights hitting the disagree button like madmen!

[dragonelite]

Yeah lets force my opinion onto other people that will make them love the game i love.

[-Gespenst-]

I guess that's a little bit annoying... But whatever. There a lot of games that are only compatible with 720 and still look good.

[TronEOL]

And so the reign of PS3 Exclusives trumping all Console games in the graphics department continues.

[XIIIWARRIOR41]

Here we fucking go again!!! Someone is seriously trying to give Crytek a bad rep. Who gives a fuck! Like your really going to notice the difference! Stop fucking whining, wait till it comes out, then fucking decide for yourself you fucking morons! Anyway, looking forward to my copy lol!

[cstyle]

This just shows why Microsoft's console is just better for game development. It has the better tools that allow developers to get games running better and faster.

[Achemki]

Umm, you do realise the Crysis 2 demo on 360 had pop-in, tearing, sub-HD res' and non-stereoscopic 3D, right?

[vandal GAB]

That demo was using an old build there has been several months of polish since then.

[pcz]

im a new ps3 owner and the amount of first person shooters available to me is intimidating. i really dont care if this game completely sucks or not because there is an abundance of alternate fps that i can choose from as it is.

the market is already saturated with fps.

if you feel so strongly about the poor version of the game, then there is one solution: dont buy it!

[HeroPsychoDreamer]

Don't really care. Wouldn't buy crysis 2 even if it ran at 1080p

[vandal GAB]

If you not interested get the F#ck out of this thread!

[BLUEKRUZER]

Like im gona buy this game in the first place...

[Incipio]

Look at all the whiny little people on here! Holy cow.

PS3 exclusives prove that any sub-par programming and porting by inexperienced and unqualified devs just does not compare and will never stand up to first and second-party expertise.

All I have to do to prove to myself that this sub-HD Crysis 2 matters not one bit at all is to glance over at Killzone 2, Killzone 3, Uncharted, Uncharted 2, Uncharted 3, MotorStorm, Gran Turismo 5, WipEout HD, Super Stardust HD, WarHawk (You know, the game with fully volumetric smoke and clouds and amazing lighting)....the list goes on and on and on.

The proof of the system's capability is in the pudding. And there's lots and lots of good pudding.

[Masterchef2007]

The proof is in the pudding i say. The stronger console will produce better visuals than a weaker one. So whichever console produces the best visuals is the most powerful one and so far its the PS3 whos winning. Like i said if the 360 can produce better visuals then why dont the devs do it if its so easy to develope for?

[sjaakiejj]

Moral of the story? Time for next gen.

[Bob570]

I am more than ready for the next generation of consoles.

[zero_cool]

Here are all three versions of crysis 2 & if you don't like which videos i posted tough shit!

Crysis 2 360 Gameplay:

Crysis 2 PS3 Gameplay:

Crysis 2 PC Gameplay:

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

[rjgbyrne]

Just because Devs cannot produce PS3 games to 360 is not because they are stupiud... its the HARDWARE! Its the hardware limitations, PS3 is getting better, Xbox is just well known but for christs sake, its not the developers fault. Without these guys and their talent you would have NO GAMES. What a shower of moaning Sh!tes you lot are!

[Huntmaster17]

PC version here I come!!!

[RedDeadLB]

So, both the console versions are SubHD.. Oh well.. The only thing I am interested in about this game is the Sandbox.. PC? Hope my HD4850 can still cope with the times..

[kevnb]

depends on how high you put the settings, alot of pc gamers wont settle for anything less than max for whatever reason.

[RedDeadLB]

Yeah, that's kinda what I find appealing about the consoles. If I can't run a PC game on max settings with a decent framarate, I lose my interest. Consoles don't offer me the opportunity tho meddle with the settings so I play what I get and I finish every game I play.. Not quite so on PC..

But, never the less, graphical settings don't differ much nowadays, I remember BC2 looked the same on Low and High settings.. I'll get this for PC..

[Haseo106]

Sub-HD because of the Xbox360 version!

[Bob570]

Yeah um no.

The vast majority of PS3 exclusive titles run in 720p.

Know what you are talking about before you go pointing fingers.

And once again. If you want 1080p that badly, buy a PC. You have no excuse to complain.

[Haseo106]

I only play PS3 games!

[rlm41]

Sub-HD because of the PS3 hardware!

[CobraKai]

It's not even that bad. It's not like it's 640p or 500p.

[kevnb]

i find this hilarious, if you want a console version of crysis 2 that actually runs this is what you will get. I dont think the 360 version is any better either.

[corroios]

Its always the same deal. They say we are gonne take the full power of the PS3, Xbox. Never seen before...And then not even 720p....

Cmon people, move along... no multiplatform game can take the best of one machine. Thats why is very importante to have studios working exclusive for one console.

[InTheZoneAC]

crysis 2=average game. People stop obsessing over the PC graphics from the first one because that game was average as well. When you have many great, FUN, and good looking games on the ps3 why even bother with Crysis?

And when you mix an average game with solid graphics you get a polished version of Haze, it still is an average game.

strictly 360/pc owners wouldn't understand this, but ps3 owners with the knowledge of a variety of great games with great graphics know to stay away.

[ExitToExisT]

well at least its not like 960x540

[Bob570]

720p is HD.

Where did people get this idea that it was going to run in 1080p? I mean seriously people, use your damn brain! Very few games run in true 1080p on PS3.

If it's such a big damn deal to you, buy a PC.

[MARKUS_MAX1MUS]

Ohhhh it has less pixels across than certain other games but we fail to notice it still looks great regardless.........

sub HD?

should really say sub TRUE HD if anything, nothing new here people and killzone 3 fantards (guess what it runs in 720 native aswell), mostly every game is 720p why do you think people will always tell you that 720 is the best for gaming, 1080 picks up to many imperfections with the detail.

[TwistedMetal]

x360 owners = fox news/ sarah palin and mccain political campain. so dumb, blind, and stupid.

[IQUITN4G]

This forum represents about 0.1% i expect of a potential audience for this game ie people spouting nonsense such as sub resolution issues - like it honestly matter one little bit.This gen on places like N4G is just one little show of tossers talking sh!t all day about stuff only a minority of other tossers cares about

Wasn't it once about a time when people played games without wanting or feeling any need to study something as trivial as resolution size.Yup some of you guys on here i do honestly question if you in fact like games at all

If you find out your most treasured of games is in fact sub hd resolution, do you then suddenly write it off as rubbish after all

Either buy and enjoy the game or grow up

[QuantumWake]

Funny how some people were amazed when they saw Crysis 2 footage and now that they've learned it's sub-HD they changed their minds.

Some of you are complete fools.

[fireplace]

Because you can't see this on shitty quality video, while on your TV you will see overall bluriness.

[AK46]

Only people that were amazed was Xbots. The PS3 gamers don't care about this game. The PC gamers were hyping this game, like there is no tomorrow.

[KaiokenKid]

Pretty sure we found out 360 version of this game is sub HD as well. Anyway, it looked great.

[rlm41]

AND...... 360 once again does superior multiplats!

[DEADEND]

Lol there both sub hd.

[rlm41]

360 still has a higher resolution though as others have previously mentioned.. Sony really didn't pick a good GPU when they designed the PS3.

[PWNER]

360 is less sub-HD xP.

[Adva]

YEAH ps3 sucks thats why it does the best graphics + gameplay.

Dream on bot and get RRoD.

[PandaJenkins]

Lol yes, the console controls how good the gameplay is. Fail troll is fail.

[airforcex]

It's simple. 90% of games will look better on 360. The exceptions are those that incorporate well the PS3 CPU (not many). It takes too much time and economical resources. Similar to PS1 vs Saturn (technically a superior system).

[andron]

Wow, quite a lot of wah wha in here.

I'll get it when it's on sale. Not much of a Crysis fan really...

[jbiz320]

the PS3 rage is incredible in this post..lmao. arent you guys automatically used to inferior multiplats? lol.

[Djinn]

Who gives a shit about Crysis anyway? No seriously, who gives a damn? I'd rather play COD or some over rated crap on the xbox. Nothing about Crysis seems special or exceptional at all. People will really buy anything like good little sheep as long as it has PEW PEW LASERZ, HMMM?

[RAmar101]

KZ3 has got better grafix than crysis 2, no exclusives so far on 360 apart from pop cap games and grey matter. Lmao @ grey matter.

They are just so bitter that they have no 2011 games to play so far, they still play last years games. I can picture them polishing up halo reach just to pretend that its new again. The truth hurts doesn't it...

ME2, LBP2, KZ3, Hyper dimension N, Trinity Zil, with many others upcoming, oh dead space 2 came with free game where as 360 version came with tea bags lmao oh wait yakuza 4 out soon....followed by socom 4 etc

360 well, let's just say I'm loving the meltdowns

My rant isn't for 360 owners who enjoy their system, I have 360 also and I still play games on it. its just I just can't stand xbox fanboys who believe everything must fail that's not on 360

[PWNER]

I know you're not against xbox 360s, but what do you mean by no games in 2011?

My to-buy list so far. I'm still missing a lot of games lol.
Batman Arkham City
Bullet Storm
Ghost Recon: Future Soldier
Gears of War 3
Battlefield 3
Flash Point: Red River
Saints Row 3
Dragon Age 2
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Grand Theft Auto 5

[Shackdaddy836]

Where did you get GTA 5 from? Was that announced??

[Tyre]

why such a cry out over it being sub hd??? most games are sub hd since 2007...this isn't a true HD era the consoles are just not strong enough...u guys are all delusional..lol i don't give a damn about it being somewhat less than hd...this game Rocks!! just wait till u give it a go...this is a super game and i can't wait to play it! it looks amazing u should all wash ur mouths with soup...what a bunch of losers in here.

[PWNER]

This is Crysis 2, the sequel to one of the Most Visually stunning games of the decade. Of course its a big deal. It's like if the new Porsche could only reach 80 mph max...

[PWNER]

Looks like the 360 will be the superior console in terms of multiplatform games once again. Tumbs down and disagree all you want, but go play Red Dead Redemption, Black Ops, and other multiplats before you even think of saying anything ;).

[nightmarex121]

I love how all you xbot said that crysis 2 will be the best graphics on any console but it couldn't get to hd. Everybody said that it was going to pass uncharted 2 and kz3 graphics looks like it didn't happen. Now you guys doing dmg control and saying well at least the resolution is less than 360s.

[Tyre]

This so called sub HD is based on a heavily compressed video not on the game itself..and this game is not a porsch going 80 but a TANK having somewhat less speed. It has the best graphics on a console yet in our reach, 720p is HD only not Full HD and most games run in these resolutions on console but most games can't do what Crysis does...

[bunfighterii]

another sub hd game for the HD generation.... great.

All this 'maxing out the consoles' talk from from Crytek was more blatant BS.

[ThePsychoGamer]

Gameplay will be essentially same on the PS3 and 360, so I'll still get the game on concoles if the gameplay holds up.

[helghast102]

Inexcusable.

[Scottyabanks]

Big deal. Happens all too often this gen across both consoles. I most certainly won't be playing with a magnifying glass up to the screen, and regardless of resolution, both consoles side by side will play pretty much the same. I'm not worried about it. I think this story is just someone leeching the community for hits on an obviously controversial subject. The game is going to look and play great, regardless whether or not you're missing a few pixels. Pc graphics are going to blow 360 and Ps3 out of the water so I think we can safely ask the fanboys to leave.`

[testerg35]

So PS3 fans keep saying that GT5 is 1080p, but won't acknowledge that Crysis 2 is 720p on the 360.

[NnT3291]

This Mazinger dude is right most of the times. This is quite disappointing since Crytek said ps3 version will run better

[KaiokenKid]

again, pretty sure 360 is sub HD as well.

[vandal GAB]

Both consoles frame buffers will be set at 1152 x 720 and this will be upscaled to 1280 x 720. You will not be able to notice the difference unless you take a screen grab and count the f#cking pixels.

[cr33ping_death]

OH MY GOD....not HD! i swear you people playing with a giant magnifying glass over your tvs must be having tons of fun this gen.... if there were no one to say this wasnt HD who could really tell the difference?

[Mr Tretton]

Exactly. And hey, the game still looks pretty damn good after learning this Sub HD news, so, whatever, why care that much?

Unless it really tanks in the reviews, it's still preordered on PS3 for me for $38.98. I bet it'll be at least worth that.

[PandaJenkins]

Sadly a lot of people don't seem to care about how good the game is to play, or how fun it is. It is all about the visual quality with these people -_-, well more so Crysis 2 has to look worse than the PS3 exclusive games because otherwise it is an offense.

[BorisTI]

Umm... 720 is HD. Sub HD is below 720. So alternate title to this post would be "Crysis 2 PS3 is HD".

[PWNER]

720'p' is hD. Emphasis on the p.
720p = 1280×720
Crysis 2 on PS3 = 1024x720, or Sub HD.

[Tigan]

Once again the ps3 version gets gimped worse than the 360. The legend of the gimpstation continues. So much for "teh cellz" and all marshian technology that got thrown in there.

Like i said before. I would avoid the ps3 version.

1) PC
2) xbox 360

[Adolf]

Crytek didn't find the "potential"?

[allyc4t]

WHO FUCKING CARES. It looks good.

[Tyre]

and nobody says anything about the physics(everything has physics attached to it/everything is destructable)/lightning/enviro nments(huge realtime rendered sandbox spaces with wide draw distances)/design/gameplay/the AI of the enemies/music etc etc..in other games like BlackOps/CoD ur just in between fixed set pieces with fake lightning, scripted AI and looped spawning enemies. Crysis 2 does so much more and it all runs in 720p, what Crytek meant by 'the same experience on console'=the total package that is 'Crysis' running at a steady framerate in 720p ON THIS GEN CONSOLES i've only hoped Crytek could pull this off but they have...that is a little miracle in itself...and now the fanboys think Crytek has let them down based on some #ssh$le publishing an article reducing the whole game down to the resolution based ON A VIDEO...a shame.

[LOLOLFFSA]

Who cares? And why do anyone have to try boost their ego saying that: Oh but the 360 is sub-hd too! It is not a big deal! The gameplay looks nice and according to the video + beta on 360 looked so good that its day one purchase for me.

[TheMailman]

Im a PS3 owner. Why in the hell im looking for a multiplat game???

[NnT3291]

lol then youre missing out on 80% of games on your console

[vandal GAB]

MGS4 was sub HD but yet still regarded as a great looking game period. Can somebody please count the pixels in the road rage trailer cause I'm sure it will also be 1024 x 720 and we all know the 360 version was running at 1152x720 from the beta. Wait for the demo to hit it will be the latest build of the game and give us a true indication to what the frame buffer is set at!

[Chrissy]

So? Unless your a broke bum you should have a even average PC that can run the game incomparably better than oudated shit consoles.

And who the hell still buys/cares about ps3?

[Craptain_Steel]

People who want good games.

[Braid]

Well, for me it was obvious that the game would be a monster on PCs, though it's kind of a let down after all the praising words of Cevat Yerli on the graphical power of PS3. I'll still buy it though, gameplay is what we should care about. PS3 owners can stick with KZ3 if they want to see eye candy graphics. Yet the framerate of KZ3 drops below 30FPS (as far as I can tell) when there is a big combat going on. Bottom line is that every game has its flaws on consoles, if you're a perfectionist get yourself a high-end PC and max the graphics out.

[zero_cool]

Again watch the interview with crysis 2 interview with nathan camarillo below that i posted before you post ridiculous comments.

[Kantor]

You can't expect the PS3 to run a game as advanced as Crysis at an HD resolution. It will still look fine, just not as good as on PC, which everyone knew anyway.

[zero_cool]

watch the interview with crysis 2 interview with nathan camarillo below that i posted before you post ridiculous comments.

[ikral]

If game is good nobody will think about graphics resolution. And if its not good, nobody will play it. Yes, i like when qame looks good, but you can not expect from developers to do something that would ask too much time, money and team resources. This video looks great, and that is all I see, so probably god game, right?

[rapidturtle]

I just watched that video preview, and I don't care how many pixels it was. It looked pretty sweet to me.

[bozebo]

1024x720 is HD.

PC has had HD since the 90s then :/

[D3athc3ll]

I cant wait to pirate this for my 360!!!

Dont have to pay $60 for a piece of shit game from Crytek (console version)

[oguzsasi]

THE POWER OF SUB HD

Does it all really matter? No.

Jeez.

Just like most PS3 games, just sad... Thats one reason why I buy most of my games on my XBOX360!

[xtremegamerage]

Deferred Lighting.

Crysis 3 engine uses a 4channel lighting system on consoles. Probably 6 on PC.

Cuts alot of cost, but it's actually harder to tell unless your really looking for it:)

[aia12]

did anyone even bother to look at the gameplay video. the ps3 version looks better than anything on console haven't seen the 360 version though. because its a few pixels less than 720p doesn't mean shit its still better looking on ps3 than kz3

[aia12]

still runs at a resolution higher than that of MGS$ why the hell didn't you ignorant fanboys bitch about that(I know 360 fanboys did but ps3 fanboys didn't complain. i dont know why you fanboys are so passionate about some outdated inanimate object its sad. dont you all have anything better to do with your lives ? if you want to see the true power of cryengine 3 buy a pc its really that simple. the ps3 version runs at a lower res than the 360 version so bloody what ? really nothing for 360 fanboys to brag about in fact you should be ashamed that your first party studios are incapable of pushing your consoles hardware and rely on third part studios(crytek in particular and epic games) to do so. damn you fanboys just need to be tortured till you pass away
