Crysis 2: PS3 performs better than 360 version

StuBurns said:
It really depends on the engine I guess. I bet Rage performs better on 360, the mega texture system requires very little RAM, so the 360 has even more memory advantage than usual as there is none specified for graphics.

I know nothing about the machines, or programming, but it does seem like both have pronounced advantages over the other.

With Rage, it's the rasteriser in the RSX that was/is the issue, not RAM. However, that's where offloading tasks to the Cell SPUs comes in handy.

I can't wait to hear Carmack's comments on PS3 development come QuakeCon given the extra year they've had to optimise.

ZOMG !

Seriously, it will be basically the same, with the fanboys arguing over the texture rez of a rock.



It's been done with swords... what not a rock?


In all seriousness comparisons are usually super lame... unless there is a tangible difference in performance (like say Bayonetta) the minuscule differences people argue about are insane.

This is going to be the next Killzone 2 and I don't mean in visuals no, I mean the amount of hilarity that is going to come out of GAF in the coming months.

Can Not Wait.

Crysis at least will have your point of view from your character's head, not his gun. :lol

I seem to remember Carmack highlighting the RAM in a discussion, but I can't be sure, and I don't know anything about anything technical so I'm sure you're right.

I look forward to seeing the game of course, I'm sure it'll be stunning on both platforms, but I still wouldn't be surprised to see the 360 version being slightly prettier. But again, like with Crysis 2, they're fighting for very distant second place. Anyone who really cares about visual quality should be playing the PC versions of both games.

Oh there are not going to be shots fired at Killzone2 right now are there? I believe this is a thread about Crysis, which is multiplatform. Last time I know there was not 360 version of KZ2, so there is no comparison here.....
 
Perfect question for CVG to ask in order to get the most amount of hits on their website. :lol
Can't wait for this game to come out.
 
I'm just happy that Crytek seem to be putting in great effort for the PS3 version as the 360 one. PS3's a very capable machine if you put in some time and effort. I can't wait to see gameplay finally.
 
Mr.NiceGuy said:
All I've ever read about crysis 2 is graphics this and graphics that, is that all they can talk about ?
Yeah. I don't think they really want to talk about the game yet, but they've been shopping the engine around and just had their big initial reveal.

So... yeah. Although, what they have revealed about the game looks awesome.
 
Maybe they're talking about the ease of programming on PS3 in an attempt to pimp their engine. Are they going to be licensing CryEngine 3?

He might have said something about the split memory pool in the PS3 versus the unified memory pool in the 360. Nonetheless, low RAM footprint is one of the key features of id Tech 5 (and, to a lesser extent, 4), so I'm sure any such-related development/programming concerns are relatively trivial.
 
+1 for Crytek. Thank you for going the extra mile to create the best looking multiplatform title to date.

-infinity for Firewire. Thank you for creating a blatant troll thread with a hugely misleading thread title. Also thank you for being predictable.

Dammit, I was going to buy an Xbox 360 today ... now I will have to put off my purchase.
Collect mine from beneath the window I threw it out of. Once I read this news I knew things would never be the same again.

Seriously though, I buy all my multi-plats PS3, it'll be nice not to get shafted for once.

Ahh yes,PS3 superiority shananigans once again. Ghost Busters taught us nothing I guess.

I doubt this game will look better than the 360's crowning jewel,Metro 2033. Such a beautiful game.

And so it begins.

U MAD?

The game will look great, we can be sure of that.
 
To my understanding the main challenges they faces with PS3 and 360 was getting the shaders looking as good on the XBOX (PS3 performed better) and getting the assets into the PS3 memory (where 360's extra memory gave the upper hand). They had 60fps engine running on the systems very quickly. The battle with Crysis on console is totally art asset management because that's what slows it down. I would hazard a guess that the XBOX being limited to the DirectX 9 shading model has held it back visually and they've since nailed the problems on PS3. But I'm no engineer so feel free to weigh in.
 
Shurs said:
Good to know.
They are even going to release a free version of the engine to help people learn how it works. More power to Crytek I say; not lazy devs and actually embrace people entering the games industry.

mad? At what? I'm very pumped for this game. I'm not a member of the master race so if Crytek feels like slumming it for us then I can only be grateful.

What I don't like is troll threads shitting up my NeoGAF.

dude blame CVG its the exact same title they posted on their site. Are you new or something?

can't wait until this is out so the comparison pics and framerate and tearign measurement videos are out in full force.

i'd say something about this being a three horse race, but it's more like two donkeys and a fusion powered unicorn.

You and me both.

Their wording is crystal clear. You are just trying too hard.

Crustal clear? I'm trying to hard? The quote is right from the fucking article, they worded it a bit weird, blame them not me.

Jones added that Crytek had no difficulty developing for the PS3 in comparison to the 360.

Are you?

The OP's 'preferences' are well documented Firewire knows exactly what kind of response these kind of threads garner as evidenced by most of the posts.

I just wish Gaf would just look, laugh and exit the thread letting it sink like it deserves to.

You all think it's hilarious now? Wait till Killzone 3 is announced. THAT's when hell will break loose. :lol

I'll have to use Firefox that day as all the new gifs will crash Chrome.
 
Until actual performance details are given that detail exactly what the differences are...this discussion serves no purpose.

As others have mentioned, we heard various development stories last year stating one platform is performing better than the other...only for the retail version to show little or no difference at all (in some cases even the opposite).

Yes but you can't blame him for for posting the same title cvg did. But anyway isn't it about time we get a centralized hype thread because there have been alot of Cry2 threads with little to no info?
 
Only response to this thread

Colour me surprised, but good on Crytek to achieve the improbable. Mind you, this could also be a matter of subjectivity in that PS3 may have a lower framerate, but no tearing and vice versa for 360 version.

Now that I consider it, I'd like to know exactly what better performance actually translates to, Carl.
 
As a developer, why the HELL would you admit this?

What possible purpose could this serve in outright saying that one version of your game may turn out to be better than the other?

To be fair, this is Crytek, not some random shitty developer like the Ghostbusters people.

Crysis is a masterful product, Ghostbusters is a piss stain.

That is crystal clear. In comparison to 360, there were no difficulties for PS3. PS3 was not more difficult than PS3. 360 having difficulties is not implied in the least.

Lol exclusives....

Until the game is finished all of this is based on the assumption the game is at equal stages across the consoles.

Truth is, I didn't think people would be crying over this, its not like this article is saying that the 360 version is gimped in any shape or form. But apparently this article hurts some of you in a weird way.

You guys need thicker skin.

They're probably trying to convince other devs to use their engine over existing multiplatform engines. Given that devs have struggled with other engines on the system, if it really is easy to get the thing up and running on the PS3 to the point that it can look a little better on the PS3, that would likely be appealing to them.

One could postulate that Crytek is advertising their engine with statements like this. The PS3 is know as being hard to program for. CryEgine 3 will be an attractive solution for developers who want a (relatively) easy to use and graphically impressive engine for PS3 development.
