There is still some small bugs but otherwise it looks brilliant, everything from face animations to movement, jump over fence, going out of car by opening door etc. Also holding the soldiers by the neck and they still move, the face changes animation. Anyone denying this have clearly not played the game or even seen proper videos of it or they are just in denial to fit their "alliance", how sad really that people would have to make up stuff to BS a game that is far above what their favorite platform can do. leaving them only the option to trash talk it down with false statements...tsss.
You need to calm down. If there are better vids that show better animation, link to them to argue your case, rather than dismiss opinions as denial. Not everyone is a raving fan of this title following it feverishly and knowing every bit of media released. Some of us only check a relatively small amount of media and that linked to, and if there's better examples out there you can't expect us to have gone looking for them.
Furthermore...
Just dont forget that Crytek has said that Crysis will recieve graphical updates over-time that are not really possible to run on todays PC hardware satisfactory!
this is a moving target which makes the original question redundant. You can't measure a platform by performance of a title at current levels and then say Crysis will be improving over time so the consoles will be playing catch up.
As a moderator, donning my modhat, I don't see the point of this thread. There's no real discussion here. There are those saying Crysis is brilliant, and those saying it's not, and little presentation of supporting evidence for either side. If someone wants to counter a claim that Crysis has simple animation, provide real material to that effect rather than just crying foul that someone disagrees with you. If someone wants to claim such-and-such a console game isn't challenging such-and-such other game on a technical level, provide some
technical details.
The technical case for next-gen consoles to whoop Crysis' heinie is simple. Take the polygon counts and shader ops Crysis consumes, look at how rendering technology is increasing each year, extrapolate a relative performance probable for a high-end console referencing historical precedent, and next-gen specs will happily accommodate Crysis (sans perhaps some AA or AF or similar sundry niceties). Add to that improvements in software that will introduce new and far better systems such as destructible materials, behavioural animation, global illumination, superior volumetric terrain modelling, procedural variance, silhouette shaping, and who knows what else may be invented, and that outcome is clear. The next-gen consoles will have more power than a current high-end Crysis rig, in a closed box which allows far better utilisation, with advances in algorithms allowing for far better effects.
If you disagree with that argument, present a logical case rationally argued. What will limit next-gen consoles? What is Crysis doing in other departments that cannot be improved upon over time?
