Ugly Drake, Sully is Great It seems like they always change Drake's face. He was better looking before but now he is a very ugly. Sully is great. He looks only a little older.

Input lag is massive What brand is the wheel. I cannot believe that Forza 3 (60fps) has that much input lag unless there is a wheel problem. I played this game at my friend's house last year and do not remember so much lag.

Contrast/saturation touch ups in photoshop on a single image may not be translated into video rendering because that requires changing entire lighting equation. In 3D video rendering a lighting system has to work across a range of situations. The specific contrast/saturation choices you made...

Mythology Microsoft has many times larger budget than Sony and companies like Turn10 have many times the employees of similar agencies owned by Sony. If those are not "AAA exclusive devs" I don't know what is.

When I said both have similar style and setting I meant that both have city environment and attempt for "realistic" visual style. Another COD BO console video. Great lighting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z42vPQyQGNU

Hello I did say it looked just as good as Crysis 2. This is, perhaps, a subjective statement so perhaps we can ask, since both games have some similar style and settings, what, on the screen (not meaningless jargon and acronyms) makes Crysis 2 special. I have looked over and over and I...

WHat I like about insomniac is that they don't sacrifice quality to have long list of acronyms and technical jargon to talk about in interviews. Good developer. But what i see in R3 is very impressive improvement. They have created a good dynamic feel in the gameplay video while R2, for me...

Biggest problem with beer goggles is when you wake up Crysis 2 is not that bad but graphical flaws like pop-in and frame-rate problems are really bad by modern standards. The textures are ok, some good some bad. Nothing special one way or another. The lighting is the only thing that looks...

Halo and COD never had the reputation of Crytek or Carmack for graphics/tech It is the reputation of Crytek for having the best graphics ever that even when they release a game that looks about as good as Call of Duty Black Ops, many people get instant "hype goggles" (like beer goggles) and...

good and bad bokeh Correct shallow DoF will have only one distance in focus. If it is simple outer blur there will be continuous range of depths in focus with outer areas being blurry. In shots I have seen, Crysis 2 has latter.

The crytek hype is like carmack hype. Even if the game has average looks many people will say it is the best game they have ever seen. It's videogame version of beer goggles. No matter how great are the sales of other games they do not have the same crazy hype despite same or better graphic...

Yes. I have played it briefly and seen many videos. It is a very good looking game and in many ways has superior appearance to Crysis 2. In fact, there are many very good looking games like that on consoles that do not have the hype of a Crytek game to get the credit.

Crysis 2 looks like it is just the simple edge blur system because many things that should have bokeh has not.

DoF The depth of field effect is strange. Does not seem to be based on depth/distance.

Hello That, my friend, is the power of a beer goggles technology called marketing. Take that away and you have a game that looks great but no different from many games already out like BF2 and even 60fps COD MW2. What this game has is great marketing from super brand name (Crytek)...
