Cry 3 looks better against DX10 V high than I would have expected.

And good luck running V High, my 9800GTX+/Q6600/4GB wont..even at 720P. IIRC it runs about 20-25 on those settings 720P. To run V high at high res's is still a struggle for the best PC's.

Let me show you what level of next-gen graphics would make me invest on a new system.

Definitelly something that is coming close to this:
Hypothetical Next Gen Action Adventure

Crysis with custom TODs, Warhead although a bit stylised or Crysis Wars comes very close to that visuals minus polygons of course etc. But output is very close. Honestly at first glance I thought it to be Crysis with Jurassic mod but then noticed the scene was from King Kong! :LOL:

The thing is the TODs for Crysis where very muted not highlighting the lighting and other rendering tech. They did though improve a lot the TODs for Warhead and Crysis Wars.

I just browsed some old and different TOD screenshots for same level. Well found some!

Though it boils down to TOD used. ~Medium with CE3 TOD with HDR switched off (I guess it uses another form of lighting) and reduce draw distances aswell as static sky would be roughly same.


As said it boils down to custom TOD. I doubt people would thin kthis was regular high with godrays enabled..

It uses the same colour grading as very high on the PC, thats the most obvious difference between the settings on the PC so its easy to associate the consoles graphics with very high settings.

In terms of general level of detail though its below medium IMO. An interesting comparison would be to run the PC version at medium but activate colour grading and God Rays through the cvars. I would bet anything the PC version will still come out looking quite a bit better.

You could argue that just shows how poorly the differnt setting levels were setup on the PC though. Colour grading should have been available right down to medium since as far as i'm aware, it uses no resources (or very few at least).

Still, a low quality you tube is definatly a bad way to compare the two since most of the detail is obscured by the low quality. That and the fact that the console demo shown wasn't a game, it was just a tech demo and hence could look very different when required to be interactive in a game environment at 30fps.

Interesting comparison between Cryengine 2 PC and Cryengine 3 Consoles.

Exactly why is it interesting? I suppose yes, it shows how scalable and tweakable CE2 is. But an engine is much more than just pretty graphics output. It should be obvious to everyone that PCs will outdo the consoles.

If there's nothing more to discuss other than X looks better than Y, then there isn't much technical to discuss. If there is something technical to discuss besides throwing computer specs and tweakable engine settings around, please do so in the original CryEngine 3 thread.

It will otherwise be some endless debate that has been oft repeated.
