While I think the PC version is more "lifelike" and detailed with better lighting I think the XBox version would be more easily playable duye to those very reason. There is something to be said to "dumbing" down the game for console players. It makes the game easier to play even if it is just in the graphics department. Unfortunately, for the PC gamer who wants the challenge and the full immersion something will be loss due to the cross port. Still the original Crysis was challenging for even most high end computers when it was released. Making it so the XBox will play it has to mean that most good gaming computers will handle it pretty well.
The purpose of motion blur is not to make the game look better (though when used appropriately, it can have that effect).,just look at how nice that pic is .i love motion blur ,it makes the Graphics look sooooo much better.
Run the PC version on a $300 PC and then compare...
the video of the PC version is DX9 right?
one things for shore, the Graphics rock.
,just look at how nice that pic is .i love motion blur ,it makes the Graphics look sooooo much better.
too much bloom
fact:
pc is clearly superior in graphics, and that's the only thing that matters, because this game is only about graphics, and not gameplay.
I honestly doubt Crytek has any intentions of patching in DX11 and if they do it will be something thrown together to shut people up.
Hard to tell the actual quality with those squashed, extremely contrasty videos. Obviously, the PC version looks quite a bit better, but how much better will it be at release?
Most of the time you just pop in the disk and go.

Didn't look overdone to me. It looked like higher resolution textures and far more accurate lighting techniques were used in the PC version. I'm not into blurry graphics. In my opinion, blur and hdr lighting is the new fog.The PC version felt like a TV with the sharpness setting cranked up too high. In some spots it was much better like floor and ceiling tiles and make some objects seem more 3 dimensional but the sharpness of everything seemed a little overdone.
Oh, and PS, all you PC gamers bitching and moaning about Crytek's "console-itis" as of recent, well, you're not making any sense by boycotting the PC version. If you want PC games, vote with your wallet and BUY pc games. Show Crytek there's money to be made in the world of PC gaming. Boycotting a company because - they made a decision where the money lies - is petty and hilariously unproductive.
Buying mediocre PC games does nothing to positively impact the state of the industry. All it indicates is an acceptance of mediocre PC games, reinforcing the idea that publishers can put out unremarkable products and still make money.
The message we need to send is that we want good products: buying mediocre and bad products does us absolutely no good. Crytek is well aware of the size of the PC gaming market and they certainly don't need us to tell them how big it is, so the argument that we need to buy mediocre games to demonstrate the proportions of the market and its profit potential is ridiculous.
While this is true nitpicking every single fucking PC game we get is worse than just buying it.
The other side of the coin is that you need to understand the reality here. Whether you like it or not boycotting games you think subpar will only send the message that profits on this platform are shit. The message you THINK you are sending by not what these people hear.
Like it or not if sales on the PC side suck they wont go dumping more money into it they will just say fuck it altogether.
Its a double edged sword. Damned if we do damned if we dont. At least going the route of buying shitty console ports we will continue to have games released.
Sounds like a failed business model to me. If they say "fuck it, sales were mediocre on our mediocre game", they lose out on the extra money they could have made.
Maybe "we" do nitpick. Year over year, PC game sales are increasing, so what will the next excuse be? Since sales were very good for they PC exclusive Crysis, what kind of investment would it take for us to get what we want? 12 million copies sold?
I really have no idea if Crysis 2 will be consolized or not, I don't think we have enough info to make that final decision, but blaming the consumer for not buying something is outright illogical.
There are a number of developers who've done exceedingly well in this market, and that fact is plain evidence that the PC market is not in some way "infected" by some inability to reap significant profits from it: it merely requires the right product. If that's not something Crytek can deliver (even though they have been delivering on it in years past), they would be wholly justified in removing themselves from the market entirely. And, frankly, I'm not sure I would mind if they did so at this point....boycotting games you think subpar will only send the message that profits on this platform are shit.
That's not my problem. It's their business, their operation and their purpose to earn revenue selling their games; not mine. If they aren't getting the message, they're unbelievably stupid. The writing's all over the God damn wall on this one.The message you THINK you are sending by not what these people hear.

I really have no interest in financially supporting worthless developers just because they feel like dipping their toes in the water and taking a gamble on an unsure thing. If they can't pull revenue from it, that isn't my concern. I'll buy the games I want to play and won't buy the games I don't. As a consumer, that's my only 'job', and I'm certainly not about to throw Crytek a $60 pity fuck just because I think it's "good for the industry".

I agree 100%. However, and very unfortunately, sending that message will simply result in fewer (or zero) PC exclusive titles. Sales numbers don't lie.
In recent years the only ones that have really done "exceedingly well" in the PC market is blizzard. Pretty much every other PC exclusive sells about as well as a shitty console game does.
So be it.I agree 100%. However, and very unfortunately, sending that message will simply result in fewer (or zero) PC exclusive titles.
How 'bout we compare them after the PC version is completely finished,(i.e. DirectX 11)?
LOL...Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to pay our final respects to the PC as a gaming platform. Due to consoles becoming the next "big thing" for the corporate whores, we PC gamers are a dying breed. A truly sad time is coming....Are there ANY gaming software companies out there who actually still believe in the PC?.....
Feels like i did my part by cancleing my pre-order the day we got that terrible demo... I think a lot of people did. That should be the most clear message to Crytek that PC gamers don't want this kind of treatment.
It'd be like a McDonald's ad where the hamburgers actually look like they do in real life.
Its a double edged sword. Damned if we do damned if we dont. At least going the route of buying shitty console ports we will continue to have games released.
Crysis2 is poorly optimized for the PC, that's the only reason it's "system intensive".
Thus, the PC version has the sharper image.
