Crysis 2: PS3 performs better than 360 version

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.

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.

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.JaseC said:
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.....

I do not avoid women, GAF, but I do deny them my essence.
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.Mr.NiceGuy said:
So... yeah. Although, what they have revealed about the game looks awesome.
StuBurns said:
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.

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.

He just used the same headline that CV&G used, which is what many people here do when they post a news story.

I so want this to be true, but I'll believe it when I see it running on my PS3

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

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).

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.

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.

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.
Swittcher said:
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.
