Avatar is the new Toy Story...
Are we supposed to take this guy seriously?

I don't see how he could possibly make that statement with a straight face.
NotTarts said:Why not? It's a justifiable comparison, considering Crytek specializes in real-time vegetation rendering and that's something that Avatar does well. Heck, modders are already achieving that level in CryEngine 2:
Cool pic, bit it's not even kind of close to the quality of rendering in Avatar. I mean... really.
So, let's see.... he is saying the market is pushing them back because not a lot of gamers can afford a very powerful PC, and in the same time he asks for a 1999,99 console, that a lot less people will buy?
If he is disappointed on how they had to cut the performance because of the console release then they should have kept it pc exclusive, duhrr!

Still no where near Avatar.NotTarts said:
And is that even in real time? With that IQ? What FPS?
Possibly you can get good FPS in a closed environment. You won't see a full game that looks like avatar even in the next 2 to 5 years. Most likely even more.
And quite obviously I'm not even talking about consoles. That would be laughable.

Now maybe the people who concede it's not the best looking console game but defend it based on real-time GI claiming it's the most 'impressive' can shut up.
I thought MLAA was SPU based on PS3? Why does it have a heavy GPU cost?
The Avatar claim is absurd I think, however an approximation which 95% of people couldn't tell the difference probably isn't that far from the truth.

...So it does NOT actually have global illumination on consoles?
Bummer.
It also appears that they left some spare cycles on the SPUs unused due to multiplatform concerns and and split memory headaches. These seems like what every other non-first party developers are encountering, so CE3 is probably not the cross platform engine solution that we were all expecting after all.

I'm not a super tech guy, but there have always been complains about the lack of memory with pretty much every single consoles released (and we've even seen some memory upgrades on Saturn and N64). And when I look at the PC hardware market, it seems like memory isn't that expensive. So why do console maker insist on putting so little RAM in their console? Or maybe it's just the devs never happy and always want more?
I didn't bother with the console versions, but Crysis 2 is amazing on PC. It bugs me how obnoxious the PC Master Race became about this game. As they have said repeatedly since Crysis 1, you can't make big budget PC only games anymore. I'll take whatever was lost from Crysis 1 to Crysis 2 if it means more games from them.
I've played through it twice, something I can't say about my forgettable experiences with Crysis and Warhead.

Which mod is this from? I want to see this.
BTW does CryEngine 3 come with all you need to make jungles a la Crysis 1? I might buy it to play in the editor instead of Crysis 1. I just need it to do some jungle tests, so if Crysis 2 comes with the CryEngine 3 editor, I'll just get that.
