Crytek: 3D visuals in Crysis 2 on same level as Avatar

Developer Crytek says Hollywood director and occasional grump James Cameron has seen Crysis 2‘s 3D visuals, and “loved what he saw.”

Crytek president Cevat Yerli tells this anecdote in the latest issue of Edge magazine, before going on to make a big claim – that Crysis 2 boasts 3D visuals as impressive as those seen in Avatar:

“I’ll even claim it’s the same as Avatar‘s status in 3D. James Cameron has seen Crysis 2, and he loved what he saw because his eyes are trained for 3D more than anyone else’s, and that makes me confident that we have a super-high-end 3D experience on all formats.”

“His eyes are trained for 3D more than anyone else’s”? Utter tosh there, but still, Crysis 2 is looking beautiful enough in 2D, as you can see by looking here. Sadly, I won’t be able to judge Yerli’s claim as I’m yet to see Avatar in 3D, and possess a PC that chugs when tackling games from six years ago.
