graphics are just a console port (Crysis vs FC3, guess which won?)

looks like PC platform got a straight port of console graphics; I knew somthing was fishy about the jungles. Foliage doesnt even move like it did in crysis back in 2007, they are pretty much static meshes. PC exclusives get pc driven effects, this isnt using them and the few they have arnt even used remotely correct.

This game has console effects with SSAO overblown and slapped on.
SSAO adds shadow edges to everything, but in FC3 ssao shadow edges will literally bleed 2 feet or more off character models, insane they released it in that state. Disable SSAO and the game improves graphically; which is surpising since SSAO tends to improve graphics quality for the games that properly use it.

Farcry 3 is graphical hype and not pushing the PC limits; preformance is poor due to bad engine design and optimization for pc hardware.

Not trying to troll; just trying to shead some reality to the graphical hype of this console port.

Shame that PC exlusives graphically havent been able to been trumped since all these games go multiplat (console ports).

it doesnt look that bad. infact its on par with 2009 games. crysis 1 looks like ♥♥♥♥ now if you havent played it in awhile. Id say far cry 3 is on par with crysis 2.

Wrong, I booted up crysis warhead and farcry 3; ran each co-currently to make my first statment.

Warhead has way more jungle assets; wind effects and lighting, ground details and 3d mapping effects on the ground. Textures are drastically better to boot. Sorry bro, go run it again and you'll be surprised. Thats why Farcry 3 is a pure 110% graphical port. It feels 'static' is its plantlife (fc3) compaired to crysis; as much as i wanted a new graphics king; i couldnt help but investigate it just to see if I was biased or not.

Turns out running both at the same time and inspecting them side by side is a very scay and real truth. 2007 PC exclusive > 2012 console port.

It has a very 'bare' feel in its design, jungles. textures compaired to warhead and crysis 1.
I cant help but feel bloom, and overall cheap processing effects were traded off to make it run on consoles; then ported to PC without giving us proper PC driven mapping, lighting, HDR.

Massive hype was disproven by a simple alt tab while looking at the 'most impressive FC3 graphics' and then doing the same on crysis.

Well i just loaded up crysis warhead and its on max everything and i can say for a fact that it doesnt even compare to recent games like dishonored and the like. Im not sure if your trolling or are serious because your the one thats obviously blind. even far cry 2 looked better than CWarhead.

There is a screenshot I uploaded showing the ground clutter in a 2007 pc exlusive.
When you play FC3, go look for anything remotely close to that level of asset detail.

What you get is this..

Poor flat, ground texture that never really changes from open field to dense jungle.
2d grass stamping that covers the poor texture.

Literally nothing else, a basic ground texture with a 2d grass asset stamp covering it; lol!


Crysis,
leafs in 2d, mushrooms, base hd texture with many transitions, grass clutter in isolated pockets, ground feels 3d in overall depth because of the realistic level of detail.

So on just the ground textures alone FC3 literally has been destoyed by a 2007 game.
No ifs ands or buts about that one, FC3 has one texture for grass and jungles, and the same grass 2d stamping over the entire island; minor changes and barely noticeable. Feels bland and repeititive in graphical design.

Easy to see how much else its lacking if the most basic things like textures and its assets have been neglected massively.


The game is lacking graphically, but gameplay wise its way way better then any Call of Duty game i've played. Gameplay > Graphics at the end of the day, but this thread is here to break fanboy hype and marketing hype with its 'next gen' graphics lol.

The game is beautiful. Not as beautiful as Crysis or its series buddies, but still an extremely pretty game. It's not a shame to not look as good as Crysis which is now five years old - graphics have made very little progress over the past few years. You can say consoles holding the industry back technologically is the culprit here, but with the exception of some new forms of AA and some DX11 effects, there's been very little progress in graphics since 2007 when compared to the years preceding it from 2004.

The PC has higher resolutions, AA and some other effects, you can safely say it looks better than it does on consoles (I heard those versions are prone for severe pop-in and a short draw distance).

I'm happy with how the game looks.
And it runs very smoothly here - I just turned AA off, it's unnecessary in 1080p (especially if it's such a performance hog - I only use it when the game runs well enough with it on - Max Payne 3 and RAGE are good examples) - I honestly don't notice any bad jaggies here.

Somehow I don't think you're being objective. Vegetation does blow with the wind, which is dynamic. Vegetation also reacts to objects that collide with them. If vegetation is static in your game something is very wrong.

The colors look overly bright because the default gamma is insane. Lower it all the way down and be amazed at the improvement.

Bad port you say? We get msaa, ssao, hbao, hdao, foliage aa, farther ao distance, very high res shadows, fov slider, customizable hotkeys, and hotkeys for the inventory, crafting, etc.. You don't know what a bad port is.

The game looks 10x better than skyrim yet performs just as well on ultra settings.

Just telling the truth fellas, live with it.

Yep because your opinion clearly = the truth (rolls eyes).

Okay so big deal?

You really expect a multiplatform game to spend a bunch of unneeded time for tiny graphical things just for PC (ie not the biggest market for them)?
Look, it sucks that PC games get held back because of consoles, but it's not that bad. Deal with it. Would slightly better looking ferns really seal the deal for you?

If all that matters is graphics then I feel bad for you. You're probably one of the idiots who thought crysis should be GOTY for the next 10 years even though the actual game was a steaming pile of repetitive ♥♥♥♥ but it LOOKED really nice.

From what i've seen that picture posted up there looks like ♥♥♥♥ compared to what i've seen of far cry 3. Maybe you should upgrade you computer.

Some textures on crysis like the rock textures look worse, and take a good look at the ground on your screenshot and palm trees they look worse than on far cry 3, also on crysis you have stuff popping up ever 3 metters in front of you, for a console port far cry 3 looks pretty good on PC and sometimes better than crysis it also has more color which makes it stick out more, now if you compare it to modded crysis than this game and any new game coming out in the next 5 years loses.

I'm not particularly bothered by the graphics as much as I am by the constant interrupting textboxes telling me some new craft skill or other. Moreover, every time I want to check the knapsack or do some crafting, I get that ugly, cheap interface instead of something seamlessly part of the game play (like Skyrim or Witcher crafting). I liked how in Far Cry 2 the map was actually part of the scene in the graphics, not some godawful crayon map. Don't get me wrong, I think the FC 3 game play itself is fine, and some of the graphic scenes are great--like the magic mushroom show in the cave, to take just one example. Dialogue and NP characters are great. But why lavish one area of the game and then completely beggar another part of the game?!!
