Whoa...what's with the anti Games For Windows animosity?

just fully tested the demo.overall is quite fun n awesome grafix.i can run smooth in medium with 6x AA @ 1440*900 with my system.this game is definitely one step ahead of far cry 4 sure.

juz read the summary... seems promising   
but too bad my ancient rig only able to play wit low frame rate

u pre order?
i dun remember crysis got release on PS3... someone plz clear my doubts...

You are actually comparing hardware level between PS3 and PC, the overall game graphical performance doesn't solely build on hardware only, platform also plays a significant part.

A decent games can run only on 256MB system memory and 256MB VRAM for Full HD resolutions in PS3, do you think the same game can do it on the WinXP or Vista PC? so don't just compare console and PC at hardware level , it is not apple to apple comparison.

Of course console is not a general purpose hardware. But still, does that makes PS3 a more powerful hardware? no. As you said, PS3 is not general purpose hardware, that means that PC needs more brute force to achieve such performance and they does. It is a fact that Crysis cannot, and I repeat, CANNOT run on any of current gen consoles. Not without tuning down its image quality.

And yes what I'm comparing here is image quality.

PS3 cannot achieve the kind of image quality PC can because PS3 is Dx9 API, it doesn't supports SM4.0, Geometry shader and virtualization.

How about the GPU? You're only talking about the ram, but what about the GPU architecture? It's an older architecture that uses separate pixel and vertex shader. Modern PC GPU uses SMP to do both vertex and pixel operation. That means optimization. This is something you cannot achieve no matter how you optimize a console architecture. If you have heavy vertex load, older GPU architecture will still get bottleneck because you cannot dynamically balance the load out between your SMP. I've mention this a thousand times now I'd like to hear what console fanboys opinion on this.

If anything, X360 is more powerful than PS3, they have unified shaders as well, though just 48 as compared to 128 on a GeForce 8800. And x360 GPU also has 10MB cache.

But it doesn't really matter. The games quality speaks for itself

At the end of the day, as far as performance goes, PC > x360 > PS3 > wii
It would be ignorant to still say PS3 is the most powerful hardware there is.

Consoles are build to last 5 years yes, and so the trade off is they are not the top notch hardware in terms of performance. It gives you a set of architecture to work on, you're told what it can and cannot do, and so you build your game solely on that predefine rules for a console.

You cannot make a miracle and build console with a technology from 5 years into the future. You can build them with current hardware, and it stays there while technology moves on ahead.

So that means even if I bought the collector's edition, the figurine is not there? O.o sorry I blur blur

My specs can run on medium settings at 800x600 with AA x4

Er guys, what's with the hype with the Special edition? I heard there is an unlock code for some vehicle? Care to explain more?
I got the normal version from Sg. Wang, decided to get the normal one as I didnt think those extra stuff that comes with the Special Edition was worth an extra RM50. But I didnt know about this unlock code thingy.
