Crysis 2 Cross Platform Comparisons

I'd rather that you watch on youtube in full 1080p glory

Robbaz has graciously made a video comparing the graphics of Crysis 2 on all three platforms that isn't some crappy home camcorder on TV action where all the detail gets butchered. Although I'm sorry to say that for my PS3-centric friends there's not much detail to butcher. Judging from the video shadows that don't encompass entire rooms are non existent, lighting is noticeably brighter (which may be a good thing; easier time spotting people = easier kills) and overall it feels much more blurry compared to the 360 and the PC. True the PS3 may have the number crunching power of the Cell processor but the 360 still beats it graphically.

The 360 does have a better grasp of lighting, god rays look better than on the PS3 but there is an unusually high amount of what looks like fog when facing the sun. I don't know if its actual fog or just some side effect of the lighting system but it stands out enough that the cityscape in the background is nigh unnoticeable. Texture work is much sharper than that on the PS3, the difference from the PC isn't all that too noticeable if it were not for the better lighting and bump maps. The decorative water effects are significantly less visible in the 360 compared to the PS3.

Do I even need to talk about how beautiful this game is on the PC?
