Why does he have a different name?

"Honestly, I think both games stand at the top. Killzone is the most impressive PS4 game while Ryse is the most impressive Xbox One game and they each have their own positives and negatives."

^He's clearly talking about technical aspect here. They are tied.

So what happens next?

Aestheticscome into play and it is generally how everything works together to form an imagine that one finds beautiful. He feels Killzone has the nod therefore, TO HIM PERSONALLY, he finds Killzone better looking.

So we're looking at a technical draw here but visually, killzone does more for him due to the aesthetics. Rather shocking considering Ryse is linear and Killzone is at a higher resolution and framerate. It shouldn't be a draw as you probably know but somehow GG managed to match Crytek. And by preference of aesthetics, even get the nod in the it in the eyes of the DF guy.

I just bought Killzone Shadowfall and I'm really not all that impressed. Don't get me wrong, it does look a whole lot better than current gen games, but I only really noticed when jumping directly between Halo 4 and Killzone Shadowfall by switching the inputs back and forth (yes, I was that curious to see the difference). I guess it's also because lately I've also been playing some PC games such as Bioshock Infinite and BF3 ( yes I am pretty behind), but yeah I really wasn't all that impressed with the game.

Ryse, on the other hand, just pops out as looking next gen. IMO, it looks better than any game out there including the PC games. However, admittedly I've yet to see the game in person and I'm just judging the games graphics from the youtube videos I've seen.

If you think otherwise, watch the video below and if it doesn't change your mind you're probably in denial.

If your saying Youtube videos look better than actually playing Killzone then yoiur in for a treat when you see Ryse in person. Its so much better than youtube.

I totally respect your opinion, but to say Ryse looks better than any other game out there including PC games is ABSURD....but feeling it looks better than KZ:SF is fine. But compared to like Metro or Crysis 3 on PC for example...both DWARF Ryse or KZ:SF....

You couldn't see a difference between Killzone and current gen without swapping inputs? Yet can tell by looking at compressed youtube videos Ryse is better then anything, including pc?

Oh, ok...

I could definitely see the difference with Killzone but it wasn't until I swapped inputs that I realized how big of a jump it really was. And it honestly is a really big difference..well at least compared to Halo 4. With Ryse, however, just from the youtube videos you can see the insanely realistic lighting and smooth/detailed animations. Sure the atmospherics are not as pronounced as Killzone, but that's because it's using a realistic art style while Killzone is not. 

Neither game is really using a "realistic" art style to be honest. And actually not shooting you down at all but the lighting in KZ:SF is actually better than is Ryse and character models and animations are a different story. And not all teh characters get the same "treatment" if you know what I mean.

After playing both and seeing both I must say taht they are EASILY the best looking games out on consoles right now period! Both look amazing at the end of the day as far as this "graphics" argument goes it just boils down to personal taste. For me character models and animations RYSE hands down and even some textures...but KZ:SF pretty much looks better with everything else...just my opinion of course though.

Yes, I dare say it does look better than those games. The comparision with Crysis 3, however, is admittedly a stretch and my stance probably has to do with my preference in terms of graphics. I much prefer Ryse's realistic design. Crysis 3 definitely looks impressive with the amount of detail on screen, but there are many texture that just don't look realistic  and somewhat ugly which ruins the whole presentation.

ryse just looks vibrant thats all and looks boring imo and doesnt maintain 30fps and isnt 1080p
