Until yesterday, I'd never seen Crysis 2
on PS3, but I had reasons to be optimistic. After all, the PS3 has a
stable of visually stunning first party titles like Killzone 3 and
Uncharted 2. Some third-party developers have nailed the system's
hardware down too, and EA is right at the forefront of that with games
like Dead Space 2 and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit.



I've been worried though. It's unusual to go so long and so close to a
game's release date without seeing every version, and I've been told
several times to expect the PS3 version. But it never emerged. This week
at the Game Developers Conference we were made a final promise to see
the PS3 version of Crysis 2 after the announcement of its multiplayer
beta on the system launching March 15th, and I spent about half an hour
with Crysis 2's multiplayer on the system.


The verdict? Not so great, unfortunately. The performance of the PS3
version is pretty underwhelming. The framerate is frequently low and
choppy. There are jagged lines everywhere, and shadows are especially
messy. There's a muddiness to the graphics that's hard to stomach in the
wake of the PS3's other flagship showpieces, and worse, the variable
framerate really hurts controller response.

Our videos don't present this well because of the realities of HD video
capture, but more than one IGN editor confirmed similar thoughts to me
after seeing Crysis 2 running on the PS3. That isn't to say it's all
bad. Crysis 2's global illumination system still provides some
breathtaking lighting effects, from god rays filtering around standing
objects to some great transitions from indoors to outside as your eyes
adjust to the change. The sound is still excellent, with great gunfire
and ubiquitous audio cues that you'll need to pay attention to if you
want to keep an edge online.


Crysis 2 isn't finished yet. This build could be a few weeks to a few
months old, and optimization is often rapid and pronounced toward the
end of a game's development period. That said, my time with the PS3
version was sandwiched between the multiplayer demo on PC which, despite
its own issues, understandably smokes its console cousins, and a
re-released multiplayer demo on the Xbox 360, which I spent some more
time with last night. My previous complaints about that version's iffy
controller response have been mostly addressed, and visually, it's
clearly outperforming the PS3 version. Everything is clearer and
sharper, and the framerate is solid. Most importantly, it just feels
better than its PS3 counterpart from a play perspective.


PS3 players will be able to come to their own conclusions when the
Crysis 2 multiplayer demo launched on PS3 on March 15th, a week before
the game releases on PS3.

Ps3=screwed on any new game do to not paying for online to get better servers. It will continue until they do something bout it.

this game is fun on the 360. played the beta a lot
but its getting compared a lot to halo. but i still take halo over this.
they should of just made it a ps3 exclusive. then they prob will get more buyers
most players on 360 play for halo, or gears. im guessing the only players playing this
are the gears players waiting for the 3rd one to come out

it got a better score than i expected
just landed a job at gamestop. hopefully they give me a decent discount
but how cheap they are with everything, it'll prob still be expensive
rather than searching for it on RFD for maybe around $40

im surprised by the reviews as well (87 average on metacritic), much higher than expected (considering the fear mongering ign did for ps3 crysis).

are any of you going to pick it up?

Homefront will be next for me until red river

I'll be getting it for the 360 sometime this month.

Just got it last night, hooked on the multiplayer. Crysis is like Halo and COD put together.
Probably gonna start the campaign tonight.

Did you get it for PS3 or xBox? I'm tempted to pick this up.

Got it for 360 because I heard some bad things with Crysis on the PS3.

Ps3 servers are bad, like with every single new game. You need to wait if you want it to let the servers get adjusted

Okay... Gonna pass on this one... Still no suitable replacement for mw2.

What about Socom 4? I believe I can download the beta now with my purchase of Killzone 3.

Go for it

It took forever to download. 500MB to download the game. Then a small patch download... Then a 1.5GB update!

I don't really like the 3rd person view... made me dizzy after one game!
