Well, Crysis was released 3 years earlier (Meaning it doesn't use DirectX 11 like Metro 2033 does) so I guess it's time something has finally beaten it.
Thats Crysis at medium settings with very little AA This is more accurate, though still not the highest.
It's kind of hard to compare, since the terrain is almost opposite of each other. Maybe if there's an outside scene on both games that's somewhat similar it would be easier... But from whats given I'd have to say metro 2033 looks better.
Ok, I provided a better image of Crysis (2560 x 1600, Very High settings, 4xAA.) on very high settings. Not to mention how many mods there are (Real lifesis, natural, etc.). Still think Metro 2033 wins?
The images provided are impossible to compare. Also, why are you comparing Metro with Crysis. Shouldn't it be compared to Crysis 2?
