While I don't think that is entirely true, the step up in graphics should definitely be more significant.
It saddens me greatly how much the whole industry has been hurt (technology-wise) by the current console generation staying on way longer than it should have.

I think graphically speaking, FC3 looks pretty damn good.
It's just something about the color palette. After playing Absolution, which has some of the best post processing work this side of Witcher 2, the colors in FC3 just look... down right cartoonist.
I know everyone hates on the whole next gen brown, and granted FC2 was a little TOO brown, I still think a middle ground could be found and enjoyed.

First one is downsampled from 1440p with Ultra SMAA, the second is downsampled from 1620p with no AA.
I don't think FC3 looks great, but let's not exaggerate.
Exaggerate? Have you played Crysis 1 on Medium settings?
I was referring to the "low settings" part of your post.
Based on some of the draw distance and effects I've seen, that's not even too far off. Remember, you can set everything individually so a mix of Low / Medium.
Low would be a stretch but I think crysis 1 on medium and up would rival fc3 ( from what I've seen ) everything else equal ( aa, resolution, etc )
How'd you get downsampling to work? The highest resolution that shows up for me in this game is 1920x1080.A quick go at downsampling AC3.
It's definitely not a game that a GTX 680 should be having problems maxing out.
And yet, it doesI swear to god, we're moving backwards in gaming and performance.
It's a Ubisoft game, the only thing that surprises me about the port is that they've included AA options.
Crysis 1 was janky?
Agreed. It's got a bit of flair to it.

I think you have no idea what are you saying. Crysis 1 is the closest to photorealism as you can get since 2007.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Well, I consider things like the super close range pop in jank (not that I could run the game on max settings well, but I did test it to see how it looks, and it didn't fix that). I'd rather turn detail objects off than have them pop in 10ft ahead to make pretty screenshots. Suit controls and what not could have been smoother too, C2 took it to the right direction in some ways (wrong in others). It's way inconsistent in texture and object quality at times. AI and physics weirdness. Flying frogs. Not great loading points. There were probably more messy things about it that I don't remember by now either.
I think you have no idea what you are saying.
I dunno about that, I didn't dispute that and I couldn't care less about that.
Yeah, didn't you get the memo - Should be in the fax ... Now.
I think he was saying that FC3 wasn't attempting photo realism while Crysis was.
Considering Far Cry 3 is a port of a console game, I'd say it looks pretty damn impressive.
Because the game still calls itself an RPG, and was still made by an RPG developer. I dunno, I just think BioWare should do what they're good at.

TO ANYONE WITH FARCRY 3!
Would you be so kind as to post a comparison of the game with ambient occlusion on and off? It seems like the effect is really exaggerated and I would love to see what this game looks like with it turned off. Much appreciated

i think kylen already did - see the game's pc performance thread

I really hate how that gun looks in far cry, the perspective makes it look tiny.

You've just been indoctrinated by guns filling half the screen. This is how it's supposed to look. Besides that a M1911 isn't exactly a big pistol.

To the people thinking Far Cry 3 looks like Crysis 1 on low/medium... let me remind you how the game actually looks:
Medium:
Low:
Bonus shot with HP's Ultra High Quality Custom Config V1.3
Mind you those are downsampled from 1440p, without downsampling they look worse.
I'm not trying to pick on anyone but to say FC3 looks like Crysis on low or even medium is indeed a bit of an exaggeration and this is coming from someone who absolutely loves Crysis 1 to death.
Far Cry 3 looks pretty good, at least downsampled. Sure it may not be as impressive as some other games but at least it seems to have a very clean look to it(judging from KyleN shots) and the game actually looks interesting.

I think you're insane.
The aliasing in Crysis medium is awful, the lighting is completely flat, the grass itself looks completely inferior even beyond the grass shadows (notice how they're all sticking out at random directions), no AO whatsoever, everything at medium-distance out is a blurry mess... it's not even a fair comparison. Even the ultra-high shot only looks comparable, I wouldn't ever say it looks 'better' (again, dat grass).
I think you are the last person in the world to start lecturing me on IQ.
But people really don't have an imagnation whatsoever apparently. If you can't look at the two images, of a game released in 2012 and one in 2007, where the 2007 shares lots of identical traits on its medium settings with the 2012 game maxed out. Yes, it's a half-way joke but that's still on MEDIUM. There's a few more steps upwards.
No they aren't twin identical, like comparisons people do all the time but they are in the same courthyard and you'd have to want to defend a game pretty badly if you can't look at the comparison and go "Ha, okay sure, with some effects here and there they do look kinda similar".

Sorry, not seeing it.
They look pretty damn similar in setting, for sure. That goes without saying. But Crysis Medium makes so many compromises I feel like it's disingenuous to suggest FC3 looks like it plus a few bells and whistles.
Okay, to make the Crysis shot look like FC3, you would need to add:
- Better grass
- Better LOD quality at distances greater than 0
- Harsher lighting / better tone-mapping
- HBAO
- Custom MSAA (it works on the trees!)
- A more saturated color palette
And THEN they would look identical. But that is a pretty big list.

I love that shot too! I'll upload a few more of NY, the game is maxed aside from AA.
