[360, PS3] Crysis 2

Does the PS3 have an issue with realtime global shadows? I'm just curious because this seems to mimic the results of GTAIV/RDR.

EDIT: I can't believe it. (Supposed) resolution is exactly the same as RDR:

RDR = 1152x640 = 737,280 pixels
C2 = 1024x720 = 737,280 pixels

Just Cause 2 - 1280x720
Far Cry 2 - 1274x692

What shadows have to do with resolution? It's probably more memory related.

PS3 version looks stretched horizontaly, probably by those 128 lines, SMH.
 
So what happened to Crytek saying they will hit a graphical ceiling on PS3? Which they said back last year.Good lord, It's like 2007 all over again.

Nothing, apparently :p. Just thought there might've been there a connection there, but I guess that's not the case.
 
Just installed the ps3 demo, can't join a match, keep getting connection errors. But judging by the text and graphics on the screen, i'm willing to bet the in game IQ will not be looking sharp, and the blacks already look crushed. Not a good sign in my book, wait and see......
 
PS3 version looks horrible from those direct feed shots, the resolution is simply epic fail:(. What happened to the treating PS3 version like a first class citizen Cevat? Was hoping at least one of the console version is true 1280 x 720.
 
Game is a joke in graphics,seriously looks made by amateurs.And for all the hype in lighting it does jack to impress IMHO.
 
God, I can't believe some of these comments. It's freaking amazing what they managed to do with the consoles...after all, we're talking about 6 years old hardware. Despite of the resolution, I think this game looks really good...more than a lot of games out there with full 720p resolution.

Resolution isn't actually the problem here :/

Heh, I wonder if they really think it's worth it to put out statements like these that generate a small bit of hype during development, but then upon release they get huge backlash and accusations of lies when it ends up false? I guess it does the world a small bit of good if it means less and less people will believe PR.

It's a shame, I really feel this will be a quality release in the gameplay department, and it's clear the amount of effort that's been spent in pushing this tech onto consoles, but for it to be let down (cancelling pre-orders, damage to Crytek's image) by EA and spokespeople running their mouth.

Yeah, It's pretty disappointing across the board. Crytek should be worried about advertising Cryengine 3 for multiplatform development if their flagship console title is looking like this. The lighting still looks nice but the rest of the package fails tremendously.
 
That has to be exaggeration, performance looks okay here:

Maybe some drops around water splashes...seemingly no obvious screen tear too.

I dunno certainly feels that way.But thats not only problem, it has nothing that stands above other games,everything is average or below.
 
Gamereactor review, 9/10.

Some tech talk bits. No DX9.. yet.

When it comes to the difference between the versions several sites already condemned the PlayStation 3 version as being the worst of the three. And it is true. Although I personally think that the difference between the console editions are smaller than those expressed by, amongst others, Digital Foundry. The PC version of Crysis 2 is entirely superior to the Xbox 360 - and PlayStation 3 game, as evident. PC game looks several times better with higher resolution, and clearly more advanced lighting and shadows much snazzier.

Would not say the lighting is average.
And alot of folks are over reacting on different forums because of the pc and ps 3 builds. Hell some even say the pc build loooks way worse then crysis on the same setting. Hope that crytek/Ea learned something about how to handle PR.

Yea, I guess it's not but it doesn't impress at all IMO.

To be fair they are not the only ones to spout such nonsense, it's just made worse because its such a high profile title. The biggest things problems are the rez and framerate. Framerate seems to be 24/5 FPS, dipping into the late teens on occasion, then hitting 30 when at the edge of maps. IF big if, they could nail 30 most of the time then wouldn't be so bad. But clearly they cant take a further hit with the screen res as already very low. Everything else i think DOES look pretty impressive, but the trade-off is just too much. Credit where credit due BUT they've pushed too far.
