Am I the only one, who's thinking that crysis is way beyond anything shown for the next gen consoles? I mean watching the videos, the leap is massive, as far as real time footage is regarded... I cannot remember next gen consoles being eclipsed so soon by the pc, two even before their release. Could some of the resident games developers/cgi professionals comment on what (not) impresses them in the amply available footage.
Crysis - A sign of what's to come?

No I seriously disagree. I most defenitly wouldn't say the leap is that far. To me it's almost even with that PS3 Pitfall like game. Again that's my opinion.

I don't believe developers have even scratched the surface of what the X360 and PS3 are capable of. There's a lot of power in both machines that just takes lots of time and effort to put to good use. That being said, I'm not certain that will actually ever happen. Middleware, multi-platform solutions are just too attractive to publishers. I suspect we might never see either console reach its full potential. But I do think they'll beat Crysis in a couple of years.

Crysis isn't even out yet. It will get better. And I haven't really seen anything on the consoles yet that is truly jaw-dropping.mckmas8808 said:In a couple years? I think they are there now.
Metal Gear Solid and the Hard Rain tech demo are the only two vids that have really impressed me from E3. And Gears of War was looking very sweet as always.
Crysis certainly looks stunning, but i suspect as everyone here, that it would require a huge investment in my PC before i could play it on high settings and running smothly.

I think it will be like the xbox/ps2 generation. A few games will shine (like Gods Of War, Halo2, RE4, Ninja Gaiden, Riddick) but for the most part we'll see games based upon cross platform engines. With dev costs going up I suspect that number of gems may decrease.

Actually if I spent $1000-$1200 on a PC, it would run quite well. In fact, I would dare say it would run better, look better, and be faster. $1000-$1200 can get you a lot these days. PC prices have gone down quite a bit. What's really amazing are the new processors coming out on the PC market, as well as DX10. They have features and power you just wont see on a console. I am not trying to start a flame war, but this is just the reality of it. Early benchmarks of Intel CPU are eye opening and they are still tweaking performance out of the CPUs. DX10 is a great leap forward for API's, though it won't be fully utilized in the first gen. Crysis is still going to be an amazing DX10 game and with power of the new Intel/AMD CPU, it will run great. I am looking forward to gaming in Vista. Having top notch games like Crysis is just one of those reasons.

Crysis looks stunning in the jungle and not so stunning when everywere else.

It looked like a Far Cry sequel with the expected better graphics. Nothing really revolutionary.
The animation system looked like it had not progressed from the last game.
But those Czech guys do know how to make jungle look good!

The lighting methodology is really good - if you've seen the videos of the player inside the ship with the fires, and then leaving the ship to battle the monster, you'll know what I'm talking about. Of course, there's also the foliage, as mentioned.
The models and texturing however leave much to be desired. If anything, they remind me of the 'plastic-ness' from Far Cry.
