Next Crysis/BF3 in the horizon?

[Schadenfreude]

As in, what's the next game on the horizon slated to ramp up the graphics standard?

Just curious - I'm in the middle of playing Mirror's Edge; I think that's a damn good looking game, especially considering that it's over 4 years old, and personally think we've hit a mild graphics parity - but that's besides the point.

BF3 just released, and (contradictory to what I just typed in the prior sentence) I *was* certainly impressed by all the footage I saw (clarifying that contradiction would be another thread altogether).

So that got me thinking; is there any other game in the horizon - say, will be released in 2012/13 - that's slated to "trump" BF3 in terms of visual fidelity? I know that Rage is supposed to release a high-def texture pack (that's supposed to be like, 75 gigs or something?) and am curious as to what it'll look like once it is released, but is there anything else on the horizon?

Metro Last Light

Metro 2033 was a very pretty game and I'm sure the next one will be as well.

Besides this, I think all of Crytek's work is aimed at the NextGen Consoles. x720 and PS4 and wii2. They've all but confirmed Time Splitters 4 as a launch title for Xbox720.

No, they aren't.

Doom 4

Rage was the stripped down version of the id tech 5 engine aimed at 60fps on all platforms. Doom 4 is going for 30fps on consoles and 60 on PC. There are rumors they may even incorporate some ray cast geometry which is the eventual goal, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
