*spin-off* Dynamic GI on Consoles
- Thread starter Turok
- Start date
It's there for all versions but it might not be straight in your face obvious unless you disable it. Then you will notice how much of a difference it makes. Atleast for PC version the difference is big on/off and much bigger than beta ever was.

From what I've seen, it is turned off for consoles. A lot of areas fake it (both on consoles and PC) with hand placed point lights.

You could be right on both console Gi=0 in the config file not sure if 0 means lowest setting or off.
One possibility may be the RSM resolution, i.e. 0 = 128x128, 1= 256x256
Another would be turning GI off for specifically marked/flagged objects.
edit:
Then again, they do describe trying to fake GI with deferred lights in one of their own presentations.
On PC GI 1/0 is on/off. GSM resolution has another cvar and is for PC 384x384*.

Strange though considering GI is the 'jewel' of CE3. Anyway I could take a screenshot with it on and off at a certain spot and then someone with console version can take a capture of same location to see if GI is on. Anyone interested?
Might be even easier since GM added Crysis 2 PC vs consoles face off.Game over face off that is

might be easier to find an existing screenshot from the DF gallery.
To late! ^^

Yeah GI is off for consoles. It's visible in several comparision shots. Shame for real.
Also GI is off for lowest PC setting "high". Second page video in that DF article at 0:41 from "high" to "very high". However for multiplayer GI is forced on for "high" so all graphic presets gets GI. Maybe for cheating reasons or such.

Yea...Its definitely off in console versions.
Although I'm surprised how well console versions(beside resolution and fps) hold up.
Oh BTW how come PS3 version beats even PC at AF?
Seems like Extreme settings give you that blurred look more than medium one...dunno whats up with that...

At first I thought the zebra was different in 360/PC version...than I checked in game and thats AF.Good to see someone nailing it like that on PS3.Its what...0-16x depending on scene?360 being constant 4x or also depanding on performance?Thats actually fair amount of AF for console game:smile:AF on PC probably needs to be forced in drivers

Actually not. It is set to be enabled by game itself in all graphic modes and for "extreme" it's set to 8xAF. Ofcourse you can override AF setting via graphic cards control panel. If it is otherwise like in the pics it might be bug or DF graphic card CP forcing other AF mode overriding games setting.
It appears to be enabled in this shot

which is supposedly from the 360 version.
And from having played the ps3 mp demo myself I can definitely confirm it was working in that as well (some obvious places where sunlight came in from windows or holes in the walls showed it quite well).

Indoor places fake GI. I tested GI on/off at indoor locations and I did not see any difference. Seems it is only for sun lightsource and possibly some special lightsources.
