(2009) Crytek CEO claims Crysis 2 maxes out PS3

Personally i love how they claim to have maxed out the hardware & it's probably true except i believe none of the developers have maxed out the PS3 through means of the most effective use of hardware possible yet so effectively theres still more there if they're able to refine the techniques they use when developing with maximum hardware usage to get even better results

If Crysis 2 doesn't look better than Killzone or on par then we know they're just trying to hype the game more

[AM-MAN]

The best thing is that nobody is hyping their game by claiming to max the box

[talak]

I love how developers say they have maxed out the hardware, until someone turns round with another coding method and make some thing that looks even better.

Consoles tend not to get maxed out till the end of there life cycle when developers are so used to the hardware they can squeeze every bit of power out of it.

Saying they've maxed it out doesn't impress me at all. Inefficient programming will max anything out regardless of how powerful a computer/console is. Often my pc is running at 100% even when it's just sat there doing next to nothing. That's because windows is cack and it uses far too much resources than it should.

Now if they said that the cryengine was running at 1080p & 60fps and it wasn't maxing out the PS3 I'd be impressed.

Yeah. Firefox routinely "maxes out" my PC because of shoddy add-ons.

But yeah, I don't even know why Crytek would say they maxed out the PS3 and then immediately say that the fail-60 version will be the same. It's like they don't know which of their accomplishments they want to hype up, so they're trying to do both at once while sounding ridiculous.

Firefox does the same on my pc. I just assumed it was because windows recognises that it isn't a M$ product so purposely makes it slow your pc

No 3rd party company will *ever* admit that one of their versions is inferior to another. It kills sales and accomplishes nothing.

From the videos they have released the settings look like low textures, high shaders and everything else medium in Crysis on PC. The draw distance is awful though compared to Crysis PC. But for a console the game looks really pretty.

Perhaps Crytek are meticulously trying to work on the engine so that it will perform well on both consoles. I don't think that there will be any insufficient programing during the making of the game, but I do hope Crytek doesn't screw this up on our console, just like Valve did with The Orange Box.

PS: I like your avatar, AikonEnt. Is that Katy Perry?

We'll see what their idea of a maxxed out PS3 looks like from Crytek's point of view & it better look more impressive than Killzone otherwise they have explaining to do

Gabe Newell, we're looking at you.

That fat M$ tool isn't even worth mentioning, he's too lazy & comfortable to embrace change that's for the better since he's so set in his ways with the current PC coding

I wanna see a proper Crysis 2 trailer as we've only had a glimpse at the Cryengine 3 tech demo

[LifeOfAPirate13]

Yeah even if they can prove "they" have maxed out the PS3. It doesn't mean that is as far as the system can go. It is really a factor in how they go about making games and their development of this game itself. I mean I am sure Crysis is a big game another company could make a smaller game with better graphics and faster frame rate and say their game has maxed out the ps3 and it'll look better. But nonetheless I still want to see how "good" this game looks.

Well I just want the people to stay away from the Gabe Newell fat jokes already. He says that he hates both consoles, mainly the PS3, due to it straying from the more PC based architecture. C'mon Gabe, give it a chance. We don't want to give you more fat jokes now.

Don't know, i think it's more a physical fact than a joke

Well at least thats more that just a fat joke right there. But still, he makes some awesome games and I'm still waiting for the day Half Life 2: Episode 3 is released.

Also, you forgot the devil horns.

Okay, I think we've had enough fun with the Gabe Newell jokes, already.

wasn't my pic, it's courtesy of google images

They make good games but it's the fact (going bit off topic) that they're too lazy & set in their ways much like Gabe to develop for PS3 which is a shame but (on topic) Crytek hopefully show them it's possible to do a great job first time

Nope, Zooey Deschanel, but there is definitely a likeness between them. Wouldn't say no to either

What I want to know is how well does Crysis run on a £300 off the shelf pc. Compare that to the PS3 version and see what it's like. No point referencing against a pc that costs £3000 (for example) or more because that will probably have video cards in it that cost more than a PS3.

Does this count?
