Graphics Comparison - Crysis 3

the xbox version looks washed out or something..

I really hate all these commercials before every video. A total waste of my time

xbox looks foggy

I didn't see any differences that would affect game play, unless the frame rate was affected. Sure, there's more rain and explosion effects on a PC, but does that affect game play much? No.

Admittedly, Crysis 2 looked amazing on my new PC with everything set to Extreme and at HD resolution. I had earlier played on less than top settings and at 1024*768. Even so, the game as such played as well and was as enjoyable on either machine.

lol is it me or the ps3 seems laggy compared to the other 2

Shouldn't you compare the graphics with the same price point PC?

My grandmother knows that a Ferrari can run faster, but it won't get you to your destination earlier...

pc on very high is awesome!!

pc is insane

Judging from this video its...

1. PC

2. PS3

3. Xbox 360

3. PS 3

It's funny isn't it - I'd say I'm not interested in this comparison thing but I'm here commenting aren't I! All I'm going to say on this is when we get a game do we sit down and play it and enjoy it or do we have images of other versions laying about so we can constantly compare and worry that distant tree on the horizon wasn't in our version or a particular plume of smoke isn't present.

Comparing is fun (like a game of spot the difference) but I don't think console gamers are particularly upset by seeing better graphics on PC; everyone knows graphics can be better on PC depending on how much money you can afford to pour into it. Usually the ones that appear to get upset are the ones who have already got the top, high end spec PCs worrying that the console gamers won't get 'PC-envy' if they don't have their faces rubbed in it properly! I just find it funny that's all.

In my opinion the pc version doesn't look too different from what we've seen from the ps4 so far.

I'm running a gtx460 with a q6600 @1920x1200 and it looks fantastic and runs smooth with the default settings. Very happy with the quality. So now I really don't have to upgrade to a 560!

LOL Dudes!!! You call that a comparison ? What happened to the Very High graphics setting on PC why show it on just High ?! If you want to show the PC's true graphics Quality turn it to Very High! And use atleast 2 Gtx680 or 3 in SLI with atleast 2xMGPU-MsAA (multi GPU AA) Why ? Wore you afraid you would shame the console graphics too much and overshadow by too far the Xbox 360 and the PS3 ? Show the people out there what Crysis 3's 3D graphic power and detail is all about and better Yet go for a Quad SLI with 4 Nvida GTX-TITAN on 2560x1440 resolution!!! And cranck up the MsAA all the way to 8x-MsAA and make the console fanboys cry! (If i upset any console owners i will say a sory in advance but this is the real truth of what Crysis 3 capable of!)

You will be plesantly impresed :) but also shocked by it's price but ofcourse excelence costs big bucks and it don't get more excelent than this :)

The problems with these videos is TV & Console setting needing to be set correctly i.e. I can get games to look just as clean as the PC version via my PS3/360 but not of course not when it comes to rendering and frame rates etc.

RGB needs to be set to Full on PS3

Expanded needs be to set on 360

720p video output

TV setting Dynamic does work if used right

Better draw distance on the 360, but not by much. You can see it when Psycho opens the shutters that overlooks NY. The closest building is blurred in the PS version. I think the flat looking effect produced by the 360 is simply, a more aggressive diffuse lighting effect...e.g. HDR/ Bloom etc. You can tell because when there's a bright scene, like NY, it looks more ethereal/ dream-like and bathed in light, to the point of looking like a mist/ fog...a bit too much for my taste. If you don't like it, you can simply pop into the options or your monitor settings and turn the gamma down, or pop into the game and turn the brightness down and it will look identical to the PS3 footage. It's funny...I watch all these side-by-side comparisons and everytime, it's the 360 that is the darker looking one and all the PS3 fanboy's say, "I like the PS3's more washed out one more, the 360 is too dark..." Then F**** with the brightness settings! Don't nitpick on your personal taste for contrast/ brightness. On my monitor, which is an MLG monitor, it doesn't look at all like these footage. It looks sharper and the blacks look blacker on the 360 version of this game. Maybe this is because it's set to scenic mode, which, sharpens everything and in the game, I have the brightness set as 35%, rather than the default 45%.

Somehow ought to tell Gamespot that we now live in 2013-- where are the 1080p videos?

PS3 looks awesome !! X360 looks like too bland.

yeah this is the first time ive seen the ps3 version look better then the xbox

its like pc are high graphics ,ps3 medium hd graphics, and xbox360 lowest graphics. and i finally see a fps game where the character you control actually is in the conversation

Super huge difference PC ftw!

Consoles sux like always! For brainles preteens who cant understand more then push and play! :D

So why are you comparing PC (High), instead of PC (ultra)?

I've been getting the impression for a little while now that Gamespot doesn't have a single super high end PC. I mean even if the general public can't afford a $5,000 PC just to see Crysis 3 at its best, doesn't mean GS can't afford it.

PC (HIGH) is in 1st place, PS3 is in second, XBOX 360 is last .

Why does gamespot keep using lousy compressed 720p video to try to compare console graphics (which are 720p) to PC graphics (which are potentially over twice that high res at 1080p)?

These videos are so freaking pointless. They don't show anything.
