Crytek Presents: CRYSIS 3 [PS3, 360]

Played the 360 beta for about half an hour and the netcode is still the same crap that was in Crysis 2...the game looks good but not better than Crysis 2 IMO, in fact I'd say that the two maps of the beta look worse than the two maps that we saw in the Crysis 2 beta, looks like the lighting & IQ took a hit and for some reason the game drops frames quite often.

Interested to see how the PS3 version looks and runs in comparison.

 

Outlook not so good.

 

The game looks worse in every possible way as far as I can see. The resolution seems to be lower or at least texture resolution. I preordered this game and I'm thinking about cancelling. Wish they had a single player demo instead. Since that's the only reason I'm buying this game.

I couldn't play the PC version as it kept crashing at 99% loading for me, gave the 360 version a try and wow is this ugly ! Looks so much worse than Crysis 2, although they've improved the AA.

 

Can you explain me the joke, I'm missing the point of this post Oh never mind, I have seen now in the previews page; this stupid console war will never stopped even at the end of the generation.
I don't know if posted yet here but from the tech forum:

This time the IQ seems more close.

 

Yeah pretty close. The major difference is that there's a lot of loss of detail in shadowed areas on the PS3 due to it being too dark. But that's probably just a calibration thing?

The other difference to note is that the Dome in the background is far less detailed (blurrier) on the PS3 although it has greater contrast (again that calibration thing?). The pattern of the suit on the arm also seems to be lower resolution to me. But that might just be me, it's pretty close either way.

But certainly looks closer in quality between the consoles than Crysis 2 did. At least in that screenshot.

Pardon me sir, But what is IQ?

 

Image Quality.

Typically, people use IQ as a board term to cover many things at once, like anti-aliasing, resolution, texture sharpness, etc.

 

I played the multiplayer beta an hour ago,
For some reason Crysis 2 looked more pleasing in the eye to me than this. The visuals look kind of rough and they removed the object motion blur from Crysis 2.

 

hmm, wonder why? framerate? just a multiplayer thing?

i only played five minutes, of the two levels, the one was quite boring, but the airport level looks pretty darn good.

cant wait for single player/the game. should be loads of fun. i hope there is more color/environment variation than we've seen so far, ala crysis 2. i've seen shockingly little of this game, and part of me wants to keep it that way and go on media blackout it being so close.

 

i am not feeling the interest to even download it Dunno why !

 

It's seems to me ps3 version use the post processing AA more aggressively (looking the weapon) so maybe appears more muddy for this (but I could wrong), & another curious difference is the 360 version has missed the rocks on the right, in the long distance showed in the ps3 version.

 

Probably you have forgot the multiplayer beta of Crysis 2; grafically was even worse at the time, I assure you.

 

pretty true, it looked pretty...nondescript, and much much much worse than some other mp maps let alone single player.

the iq can be pretty bad here, the half framerate shadows are really jarring, if there was any possible way to fix that they should have imo. yet all that said, at times the beta looks pretty gorgeous.

but lets say it shows how much we struggle for more power in next gen consoles to arrive.

 

I think you guys forgot how Crysis 2 compared on consoles. They looked very similar, too.

Personally, I think they're running at the same resolutions as Crysis 2 (PS3 a bit lower).

 

I only played a few games the other day, not really enough to form any real imperessions. Last night I put more time into the beta and well....it's crysis. I actually think some things are improved (net code, hit detection, pop up, and AA) but the missing motion blur is disappointing, same with the massive frame drops when there's a lot of action on the screen.

I really hope they plan to re-release this for next gen consoles, or I'll just get it for the PC eventually.

Yeah the resolution is lower on the PS3, this can be seen on the tree in the following shots:

360:


PS3:


The abundance of jaggies on that object would indicate a lower vertical resolution, right? So it's under 720 now?

 

PC (low settings!) vs PS3 I just saw posted on GAF





Thats amazing. And people would claim we dont need next gen cause of diminishing returns...

That said I wonder if our source of PS3 caps is just taking bad ones. It cant be that bad.

 

The jaggies on the tree I don't think has to do with the lower res, it seems a sort of artifact for some lower precisition effect for the light or transparancies on ps3, I can't be more precise, I'm not exactly an expret but the slight muddy aspect of ps3 suggest will have the same difference in res of the prequel.

Mmm but there:


to be honest this time ps3 resolution seems a bit better but I could wrong.

 

Bad captures for PS3 and native resolution shot for PC, obviously the difference will be huge.
