Everything looks too shiny.

It can run on the relatively weak hardware of the 360 and PS3.

The CryEngine 3 is more optimized than the original's CryEngine 2.

Prepare to be smashed.

I noticed how nobody has mentioned some very important differences between the Cry engine 3 gameplay on Xbox vs Cry engine 2 on pc. One of the biggest things I noticed was that the draw distance for objects on the xbox version is pathetically small, you can see objects start to appear/ come into rendering range as you walk close to them (you can see this as the guy walks along the dock), something that Cry engine 2 on pc DOES NOT do. On pc objects are rendered even at far distances which gives it a much more realistic feel because they don't suddenly appear. Also, if you look at the demo of cry engine 3 running on xbox you can also see the lack of a dense jungle at long distances, which again the pc does not do. Another big difference is that the actual resolution that the game is rendered at on consoles will most likely be sub 1080p, as with almost all new xbox AND ps3 games. One example is the 360 and ps3 versions of Modern warfare 2, which both run at 1024x600, which in my opinion is a pathetically low resolution, although many people cannot tell the difference. This is because both the 360 and ps3 have very limited amounts of ram which means in order to get more stuff on screen that looks better, the best choice is to lower the resolution that the game is rendered at. Both consoles will then bump the output resolution up to 1080p before the signal gets sent to the tv, but in reality the game is still running at a sub HD resolution.There are a few other small differences such as the shadows of physics objects not running at the same speed of the actual moving object itself, but these are small and most people wont notice them anyways. Gah giant wall of text...

Based on what they showed, Crysis on PC looks better than Crysis 2 on consoles.

Hm...

[dkamm65]

Hm...

Well obviously. I'm saying a game yet to be released looks worse than a game that was release over 2 years ago.

Read the bolded words seperately.

Refine response.

I actually noticed that my computer will be better than the 360 when I get it put together.

Ontopic: There is no way that those are in-games.

Well obviously.

I don't see what the problem is here.

That's cards that support it.

So lets say you have one of those cards and the game doesn't work for you. This means that Crytek can help you because they've tested it with this hardware.
If you don't have one of the cards on that list then they can't help you if the game doesn't work.

A supported cards list doesn't mean it's the cards that can run it on high. An 8500GT wouldn't run this for stuff.

What.  The first line is what, and the second line is manufacturers.

That's gotta be one of those filler text things that people put into youtube videos so they pop up in more search results.
