The fact that KZ3 uses no real time lighting or real time shadows at all...not to mention it does not use HDR at all, is another reason why KZ3 can run so smooth and have that many things in the background in game.
Would KZ3 run the same way if it had all the features that Crysis 2 has in real time and used HDR and Real Time Global Illumination? Most likely not as those features are bandwidth killers.
Give Crytek credit for making this engine run on these aging consoles. IMO ...
They better pull off a miracle with BF3 coming out....
Yes you are correct Buho...PS3 and all its 720p and sub 720p and 30fps or less gaming glory...with hacks of lighting and shadow effects not in real time for most games.
Yes you are correct. With that "power" the PS3 has, how can a high end PC compete!!! The shame!
Damn...this again?
This is shaping up to be one serious ass game!
Nope. Consoles are 5+ years old. They barely do 720p...DX11 is not possible on that hardware as it came out in the DX9 era. PS3 uses OPENGL that is equivalent to DX9...
You want DX11? Buy a $700 PC and enjoy gaming at real 1080p using real AA.
Buy the same PC game for $10+ less than the console version...and you get mods, better graphics and frame rates to boot and totally free online. Ya I am looking at you MS you greedy mofo's....

Here is the irony.
Our opinions (all members on N4G.COM) MEAN ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AT ALL when it comes to which game looks the best etc.
Its the gaming industry as a whole that more or less does good or bad. And what they are saying right now in the majority is Crysis 2 is one of the best looking console games out...and the best technical game engine for a game on consoles. You or I saying these are lies etc mean nothing at all. We have no say in the matter or credibility to re...
You're not old....I played the original choplifter on the Apple II back in 82' and than in the arcade in 85' lol
Destruction is the pivotal selling point in BF3. Gimping that feature would in a sense destroy the essence of the game itself.
As for people saying why is MAG and Resistance doing many players online and BF3 cannot on the PS3?
Simple. Look at the graphics for those games. They pale in comparison to BF3.
Next those games do not have a interactive destructible environment in any way shape or form.
Last. Those games do not use real time lighting, real time global ...
And people on this site actually thought BF3 on consoles whether it was the PS3 OR Xbox360 could handle 64 player online with those graphics, full destruction and real time lighting?
Oh god this game site....lol
Crysis 2 has showed that the Xbox360 is capable of putting out great visuals on one of the most technical game engines (cryengine 3)that is on par with PS3 exclusives. The Xbox360 is limited and its showing but Crysis 2 has shown many that with decent developers at hand, they can push it further.
They can't. It would go against everything Sony told them....
It was console only gamers that said Crysis 1 was mediocre because it was not linear like most console FPS games they are use to.
When you take into consideration what Crysis is doing under the hood, how it looks, the more open space, it is more impressive from a technical standpoint.
Crytek could have simply done what other game engines right now have done like KZ3, Gears of War, UC2 etc:
Use all or mostly pre calculated lighting and effects. Make it a more linear experience to save bandwidth. Smaller areas overall to also save bandwidth and memory usage. No to little interactivity at all with the envir...
They will butcher it on consoles.
This should have been also on the PS3...not to mention the PC. But it would have fared better on the PS3
What Crytek did to get this engine on consoles is short of amazing the way the game looks.
Another 12 year old fanboy. You back your claims using other peoples posts and then you insult people. 12 year old till you die I see....
