I'm pretty sure Crysis is running full FP16 HDR with tone mapping, while Far Cry 2 is not. It' almost impossible to do on console, and the only game that has ever done it on there is Halo 3.
I think Crysis just looks a lot more realistic while still retaining color. It was one of the last games that went for photorealism, and Crytek understood that real was not brown. It's image quality is very clean, and totally devoid of any filters like Crysis 2.
It's debatable which is using more effects on medium. Once you go to high and very high, obviously Crysis goes way beyond anything else.
I think it's funny people always talk shit about Call of Duty's graphics, however it's the one engine that looks extremely crisp, runs very well even with 16xCSAA and has a lot of good effects. Especially when we're going through a phase of abysmal performing games with equally bad textures, worse effects and a bunch of sunlight in your face.
Sorry, random rant but I just had some flashbacks. Game looks great.

The people I know in real life who think clothes like Desmond's in AC3 is cool are the same type of people who like tribal tattoos, fantasize about their car engines, and goes to tourist night clubs while on amphetamine.
Sorry if I offended anyone, I just don't like the clothes design very much. It's so safe and boring, like something out of the early 00's.

but its just a jacket with some jeans though, i dont get it
People with jackets and jeans are the real threat to the moral fabric of soceity.
It's the little things. Rolled up sleeves of a white gym hoodie along with tattooed over-trained arms, washed jeans, and the boring way the two clothes items fit the body.
Yes, I am overthinking it too much and bored on a weekday, but the design is just so unappealing to me.

From what I've seen of TB's "WTF Is..." video, you can't.

Crysis still looks better than Far Cry 3 even after all these years.
Right. Maybe it's time to take your pills.
I think FC3 looks "better". But technically speaking Crysis one is more impressive, sub-surface scattering, per object motion blur, parallax occlusion mapping, does FC 3 feature any of this ?

Any game can be made to look bad, it all depends on who is taking the screenshots. That said, the first level of the game is rather inconsistent visually.
What a great post. Maybe instead of making an idiotic retort, you could come up with an actual argument.

New headphones, needed to test out the surround sound...
Dead Space 2
Need to set up a profile for this one. No AA or proper 60 fps vsync.

What's the point in making huge environments with tons of scale, and then making it look like a miniature by slathering it with tons of depth of field.. ?

You should know the drill by now.

THAT'S what was bothering me about all these FC3 screenshots! The world just doesn't look big or even that open in any of the shots.

Depends where you look! From the bit of time I've put into it it seems decently sized, for an island world game. I've only uncovered two squares of the map though (edit: for reference there's 18), so can't really speak for the feel of traversing the whole thing.

Now that's more like it! All the other shots seem to be looking out over the ocean.

Yall, really, REALLY should play Planetside 2. I've got my share of amazing Steam shots but haven't bothered taking any uncompressed shots as of yet. It's a beast graphically and technically. Puts things like Farcry 3 to absolute shame imo. You can downsample in-engine so anyone can go that route. Not so much texture work in some areas, but the outside shots with the game maxed out from different perspectives combined with the lighting and vehicular maneuvering really impresses.
Here's a screenshot from Miasmata, a new Greenlit game. It's an interesting concept, but very janky. I imagine the game was made by 2-3 people, so some things look nice and some things look quite dated. Performance is 30 fps at 1680x1050 on my e8400 + 5850, 4GB RAM computer.
Not my shots just reposting from the last page.
Im sorry but this does not look like a 5 year difference.
The grass in FC3 looks a lot better, sadly it is ruined by horrible AO in many of the shots Ive seen.
Also the DoF effect in FC3 is laughable, they should have made it dynamic or pushed it way further in the background.
Saying that FC3 looks like Crysis at mid. Settings is hyperbole but saying it doesnt really look better than this 5 years old game is reasonable.

Not as good as the last shot...
Uhh.
The skywall in the first shot is really poor and what the hell is up with the aircon units?
They are using the same fan texture on every side!

Control yourself Loginius.
I'm sick of this whole Far Cry 3 vs Crysis argument that has been infecting this usually entertaining thread.
I have to imagine most people just enter this thread to gawk at the beautiful screens this community displays, myself included.
What they don't do is show up hoping for some "This game looks dated, lol Crysis" posts that somehow STILL exist, this many years later.
YES Crytek hit it out of the park, no, out of the fucking CITY with their engine, and Crysis is still to this day is a technical marvel that was way ahead of it's time and hardware.
That doesn't mean every game with a beach and a blade of grass needs to be juxtaposed against Cryengine.
More Dishonored. The most beautiful level in my opinion.
