Haze vs. Crysis Screenshot by Screenshot

You have to admit, the PS3 definitely has some power behind it.
PSU has a feature displaying screenshots of two games, which one might see as a comparison of the PS3 to the PC. These screenshots are side-by-side comparisons of Haze and Crysis, the former being an upcoming release for the PS3 and the latter for the PC.
From the looks of it, the PS3 is going to be a huge competitor for Alienware. PC gaming could go the way of the arcade if the exclusive titles don’t hold the gaming audience.
Not a chance. Crysis looks so much better… GoW looks better then haze too.
PC gaming will forever own console gaming because PC’s are much higher spec, you can mod files you self creating limitless oppurtunities for replayability.
So small pics… should be full res´…
dude what were you smoking when you wrote that article?! The Haze shot isnt even in the same league as the Crysis one let alone give Alienware a run for its money! (Alienware PC’s being the most over priced peices of crap in the PC market too) Hahaha
Crack?
I was waiting with anticipation for f4nb0yz to come out of the woodwork…
Haze and Crysis both look stunning, but since they both got different settings (Nature, Surroundings, ect.) its really hard to compare them.
But i must say, of Haze and Crysis, Crysis wins for the stunning graphics detail.
OK, Crysis looks nice, but for me to play it would require a major upgrade to my pc. £400 gfx card 2gb mem……… Aww shit, cheapaer to buy a console…
PC’s will always look better than consoles, and Crysis kicks Haze’s ass at every turn
both screenshots look nice….cant wait to get both games on my pc
I think we should compare moving animations once the game is completed. Still life photos with the games only partially completed is unfair to the games. Crysis is best looking so far. Haze is a PS3 exclusive. If you want a good pc game(and have an awesome pc) go for Crysis. If you want a good console game go with Haze. Everybdoy wins.

The videos on the webpage made my cry they were so awesome.
Cheers,
lol Haze is NOT a Ps3 exclusive, its coming out for the 360 as well….
Well gameplay really doesnt matter when we r comparing the strength of the systems. they can always make more games.
p.s. lets see a ps3 compete with my quad core system
To all those who say things like “PC’s will always be better than consoles”. The average PC is in no way as good at gaming as a console. The average PC couldn’t even play a game like God of War 2 as well as the PS2. If you want to play the latest games at high resolutions you have to upgrade your graphics card at least every 2 years or your frame rate will suck. In fact of you want to play Crysis in all it’s DX10 glory you not only have to buy a new GPU but also you have to upgrade to Vista.
When I built my current PC last year I bought a brand new X1900XTX at launch which cost me £370 ($740). It was by far the best gaming card on the market but just 1 year later it’s incapable of playing some new games at a decent frame rate.
If you plan on PC gaming any future increase in graphical performance will come at a financial cost whereas a consoles graphics will just keep on getting better and better.
I guarantee you that in a few years time the graphics on 360 and PS3 games will be better than the best current $3000+ gaming PC unless they upgrade their GPU’s every few years.
If you disagree just look at a screenshot of God of War 2 and remember that it’s being played on 7 year old hardware. No gaming PC from 7 years ago could play that game smoothly.
Who Knew said: “I really don’t think that pc gamers have anything to worry about in the graphics department!”
Only a very small minority of PC gamers will ever be able to play Crysis with the settings as high as those screenshots whereas every PS3 can play Haze as good as that.
Ha ha ha, who cares? Crytek oficcially said that PS3 could run Crysis like it’s PC version, but there is no Crysis because they want to make it nr1 on PC, and than port it to PS3. Besides, it’s proved that PS3 mutch more powerfull than Vista+Core 2 Duo+nVidia 8th Series+DX10. Besides, PS3 uses some kind of DX10. Try to think logically, PS3 beats all consoles and PCs out there, it uses only 30% of what it can, and it already have games that look better than PC Crysis, Killzone 2 for example, can’t be run’t on eaven newest PC, says developers, so why Crysis can’t be runt on PS3, whereas Killzone 2 can? Answer me. This is marketing thing, that’s why Crytek said it can’t be runt on PS3, actually it can be runt on PS3 eaven better than on PC. In few or one year, PS3 will kick PC and Xbox 360 so far, that you all will buy PS3, be sure about that.
consoles will always be more powerfull than eaven newest bleeding edge PC’s because consoles hawe unique hardware. just look at PS3’s hardware. it is future. PS3’s technologies juped far ahead of other tech. PS3 needs a time to show it’s power. Crysis pushes PC to it’s limits while Haze use so small percentage of PS3’s power, so after couple of years Crysis will look like a Tetris compared to PS3 games. just look at GT5, it’s already looks more real than Crysis. i know it’s another jeanre, but still look at it. consoles always will be more powerfull than PC’s. look at Revenge for PS2, PC’s could run it only with crazy specs, and it is runing on 8 years old console. consoles will always be better in games in all points (graphics, physics etc.)
You’re both console fanboys.
The reason a ps3 is more powerful than the vista machine, is because the vista machine is running vista.
fucking bullshit operating system that is.
PC’s will always be superior in hardware, because it’s the end user that controls the hardware, even if there isn’t a match up to the PS3’s cpu technology, there will be, and you’ll be able to upgrade your PC. While you’ll be waiting around for another 3 years for sony to come up with the ps4.I mean, look at ps2 graphics and capability and compare it to the most capable computer of a year ago. It doesn’t really match up, does it? PS2 couldn’t even run Half-life 2, only 1.
If there’s anything that’s ever been proven in the console wars it’s not the specs that make the successful console. Look at the Pea Green Gameboy, who did it compete with? The 16bit full color gamegear.
Who won? Nintendo.
Without some really killer apps for PS3 and a more affordable price tag, the PS3 will still be considered the subpar console. No argument that it whoops all other machines on specs though.
also, check out my crysis video to see how well it runs on my pc, lol.
http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=weclock
Was that multicolored mess at the end the actual game-play? lol
You REALLY need a new graphics card lol
I’ve got a X1900XTX and I’m not going anywhere near Cyrsis ’till I upgrade.
hahah, yes I do.
weclock is right about vista being shit, cause it is. As for performance, I ran the Crysis beta cranked up as high as it would go at 28 fps average on my 8600 GTS , and that card costs less than 200 bucks.
Haze looks mutch better in my opinion. If true, Crysis is nothing new in graphics, look at UT3, looks way sharper. As I know PS3 will get Crysis that will look better and I will be not surprised if it will look and perform better. Yes, I agree that Vista is shit.
wecloc, Revenge would seriously lagg on hardcore PC’s, and it is running on PS2. Crysis push limits of PC, while Haze is not eaven a half of what PS3 can do and looks better, you think Crysis looks better only because it has those tropical forrests, and did you saw how look Haze forests? Also, PS3 can do 4D, eaven PC’s can’t do it. In some 2 years, PS3 will get games so cool that Crysis and Haze will look like old nintendo’s shit. Thank you for listening. I hope you ain’t mad because I say only true. Maybe in 4 years (MAYBE)PC will hawe better looking and performing games, but PS4 will come. I know that PS4 will hawe upgraded Cell, Blue-ray, but I don’t know what kind of GPU it will hawe, maybe newest in future. It will offer new tipe of graphics, search google. I saw the screens, and WOW, so realistic. You should check it out.
Played the crysis demo, its the best looking game ever made by FAR. pc runs everything at very high and, not to talk shit, but haze is just a different generation of game. Crysis is going to revolutionize what you thought was possible with videogames
The PS3 fanboys are coming out of the wordwork.
PC > Consoles.
Its just the way it is, deal with it.
“PC > Consoles.
Its just the way it is, deal with it.”
The vast majority of people who play games on PC are using equipment that isn’t capable of what a 360 or PS is.
Oblivion run at 30 fps on the 360 and PS3 but the minimum GPU needed to do that on a PC is an 8800GTS.
What spec is your PC? (and if its very high I want proof)
The worst fanboys are the PC ones because they try and make everything about hardware while completely ignoring reality. I’m a PC gamer but PCs do not one consoles for the simple reason that there are loads of console exclusive games. Next year how exactly would a PC own Gran Truismo 5, Final Fantasy 13, LittleBigPlanet and Metal gear Solid 4 for example?
PS3 = Over Fucking Rated
Also haze is a timed exclusive next year it well be coming out on pc and 360.
Norbit, I have to call you on this one. An 8800 GTS will run Oblivion at 37 avg fps on a PC, but only at a resolution of 2560 X 1600 (http://www.i4u.com/full-review-197.html), and will all options turned all the way up, including HDR. At the resolutions that a 360 or PS3 run at, my 7900GT will run Oblivion at nearly twice that framerate.
The argument that console have better graphical hardware than PC is fallacious at best. The 360 and the PS3 are both built using what is now last-gen graphics technology. PC’s have already moved beyond that. Granted, if you don’t upgrade often you may see similar performance, but hardcore PC gamers saw performance similar to that of the 360 when the 360 was in development.
Athlon64 3700
2gb RAM
7950GT 256mb
Thats a mid range comp right now, and can’t run Crysis on very high (well, it can, but at only about 10fps), but I would take it over a 360 or a PS3 any day of the week.
And I can run Oblivion just fine.
plz haze is a ps3 exclusive and it owns agears in graphics o and haze and killzone 2 look better then any 360 game out. I looked on xbox.xom for upcoming games cause i used to own one but their shit so i dont liek them and none of 360 games has graphics close to haze or killzone 2 or even mgs4 for that matter so keep dreaming 360 fagboys its just not as good a ps3
Ron I’m sorry but you are wrong. Even my X1900XTX will only get 29fps at the lowest resolution 1024×768x outdoors on Oblivion. Your 7900GT wont get 20fps. The 512mb version of the GT7950GT only gets 18fps so Stalkers 250mb version surely scores lower.
At 1920×1200 outdoors it gets even worse.
X1900XTX – 16FPS
7900GT – 7FPS
7950GT (512BM) – 7FPS
This is by far the best site for comparing cards on different benchmarks.

Personally, the biggest flaw in the PS3’s design has to be the RSX. The chip can be compared to a 7800GTX and it doesn’t compliment the massive power of the Cell processor. So in that retrospect, regardless how awesome the games physics etc. can be, the graphics will be a bottleneck. Agreed that the processor is indeed awesome, but in terms of graphics …. well thats another matter.
oi guys will crysis come out on ps3? anytime soon?
o and haze is not a timed exclusive the 360 and pc ideas have been blank and free radical said they have no plans for 360 or pc in the future
PS3 and 360 kicks PCs. PS3 is future. Cell + RSX + Blue-ray = 5x or more times realistic games than Crysis. Just look at Uncharted, it uses 30% of PS3’s hardware power, I mean in all terms, graphics, physics and other stuff, and it looks and plays mutch better from my opinion. Look at Killzone 2, it is in Alpha status, it will ship only in middle or eaven fall 2008, and it already looks better than any other game. It is just a matter of time when well see reality on PS3. When will you PC fans realise that consoles will always dominate in terms of games? Look at God of War on PS2. Graphics are awesome, and they are runt on almost 8 years old system. So how cool will look PS3 games in future, and how cool they will play. I played Crysis demo at full specs and I wasn’t so impressed. Yeah, yeah, graphics, but gameplay and physics? Sure, you can destroy almost everithing (BF: Bad Company is better at destruction, mutch better than Crysis), but does this destruction is realistic? Buildings are made from what, from paper? Unrealistic. Only when you destroy trees, than it looks great, but look at BF: Bad Company destruction and graphics are quite similar, if not cooler. Crysis looks better just because of it’s tropical forests, but if you take those forests off the game? Phe! Crysis is just like Far Cry, eaven Far Cry was more interesting for me, but that’s my opinion. I hope you understand it. I hawe more to say about all this stuff. I like 360 as well, and it can run Crysis at full specs too, but it would need 2 DVD9.
Hahaha, PC is the best because what it is capable of. You don’t have to buy a new PC every 5 years, you have to buy new parts.
and the library for PC is massive, you can play every game all the way back to windows 95, you can play n64, ps1, and some ps2, dreamcast, and gamecube games (thanks emulation!).
Not to mention snes, mame, nes, sega genesis, sega cd, sega saturn, and all the others.
I mean, every one knows any game that is on pc is immediately better than it’s console version because of your ability to 1. Mod it 2. Control how well the game runs/plays
You console boys are pathetic. So you really think your £350 console is better than a £2000 monster? The clue is in the price ‘boys’. You really think you’ve got good quality components in that hideous black object, please. PC’s have and always will dominate. PS3 is using an already 2 years old GPU. The only reason they get better graphics as the years pass is because Dev’s spend dedicated time optimizing. This doesn’t happen on the PC, which then means that graphics are pushed even more requiring you to upgrade. Haze Vs Crysis lol don’t make me laugh. Even a PS3 and Xbox 360 put together couldn’t run it at ultra settings. It’s like trying to compare Westlife to The Beatles! Not even remotely in the same league…
What’s with you console boys? An Xbox 360 running Crysis at maxed out settings? Give me a break! The 360 couldn’t even handle Oblivion. And what about Gears of War? It runs MUCH better on a PC than on the 360.
And regarding the PS3, Crytek themselves even said that they would have to tone down the graphics to run it on the PS3. The PS3 has a fast CPU but the GPU is not good enough to run Crysis.
It’s kind of funny that the PS is already old compared to PCs.
What is it with console fanboys and their ignorance?
@ Fred.
Only a tiny minority of PCs can produce better graphics than a 360 or PS3. I have an X1900XTX which cost me $700 18 months ago. It was the best gaming card money could buy back then and while It can run Bioshock better than it looks on the 360 I doubt it would be capable of producing graphics like Uncharted: Drakes Fortune or Ratchet & Clank. What really makes me laugh is that most of the time the people saying that PCs pwn consoles normally dont own high end PCs themselves. They are the dumbest fanboys of all. You say Gears of War runs better on the PC but you fail to understand that it doesn’t on most of the PCs that are playing it. It doesn’t run as well on my PC as on the 360 and my PC cost a total of over $3000 to build. To look better than on the 360 you would need to be running 1 or 2 8800GTS’s.
The fact is that the 360 and PS3 are both more capable gaming platforms than the best PCs that were released at the same time as they were. If you bought a PC on the 360 and PS3 launch days it will look pretty terrible compared to them in a few years unless you spend more on it and if you spend more on it that makes all comparisons totally unfair and completely void.
Norbit: Yes, the 360 and PS3 are bargains compared to a top notch computer, can’t argue on that. The people I addressed with my post were mainly those who believe that the 360 and PS3 are better than any PC and will be for years to come. That’s simply nonsense. Ultimately the consoles are based on computer technology, and the ability to change components in a computer (primarily CPU and GPU) is what makes it better than consoles. Even if a console is state of the art when it is released computers soon go past.
But sure, many people would probably be better off with a console than the crappy computers they are using. Computers are expensive, but ultimately also the best performers.
Btw, someone mentioned Uncharted on PS3 and how it looks better than Crysis. Well, I looked at some screen shots and sure, it looks good, but the graphics are very simple compared to Crysis. It’s clear just by looking at a couple of screen shots that Uncharted is not nearly as hardware demanding as Crysis.
I guess we will see in the future if there will ever be a game as good looking as Crysis on the PS3. Probably not.
LOL I can’t believe these fanboys are trying to compare their last-gen consoles to the PC.
$550.00 for a core duo 2 + 2 gb ram + ATI 3850 already blows away anything the cheapy consoles can do.
It took a year for PCs to just crush the consoles. The remainder of the xbox/PS3 life cycle will continue with them having to hold their heads even lower and lower in shame if a PC happens to pass by.
Lol i cant belive these console fanboys i own a 360 but this is funny they actually think there consoles compere to pc and millions of people and dual core pc’s and 8800gt and there better than the ps3 and xboxes grapics cards with out getting into to much detail stupid dumb ases these are the ones who always get ripped in online games and this guy writting this compararison wheres your head at dude lmfao haze is bull shit sorry free radical lol will probly end up being a good game gameplay wise maybe but from what ive seen ugly ass fucking game. Sorry for provanitys but this makes me mad that guys like this saying this crap people listen to and get ripped off and sucked into the shit storm.
millions of people own dual core pc sorry. and they compere to xbox and ps3 and more ram not to mention 8800gt on top of that much much better graphics.
Some of you guys are idiots. Thinking that you have to buy a new video card every two years. The XFX GeFirce 8600 GT XXX can run crysis on high settings. Guess how much it costs. How about $99 CDN. idiots. ZNorbits, your bumb for paying $740 a year ago for a X1900. You ould have just bought an 8800 card for the same price. Consoles get raped by PCs spec wise. The only reason they run slower was mentioned. They are simultaneously running an OS on top of the game, how do you think you can Alt = F4 or Ctrl+Alt+Del and imidiately be placed at the desktop without reloading your OS. dumbasses. there are 50-100 dollar video cards on th market that rape the 360 and PS3 video cards. Even combined with some video cards. The two screen shots aren’t even close. Crysis wins handily.
As far as level of detail, they look the same to me in these pics… as far as LAYERS of detail, Crysis has more of that as far as I can tell, but whether it’s accessable or not will make it relevant or not; so as it stands to me, they might as well be the same.
@ Sean
I bought the X1900XTX in Feb 2006. When I bought it the card was the best gaming card money could buy. The 8800 cards weren’t released until about 9 months later.
