why didnt they use 100 percent, what a bunch of half assers. and how many years is killzone 2 in production now? oh yea 4 years or ever since ps3 debuted.

Too much perfomance headroom, the PS3's Cell has 8 processors. Moving legacy code over to the SPEs or writing new far more modernly designed tech from scratch takes time.

God of War 2 wasn't build in a day and neither was Rome.

@ others

I agree Killzone 2 is way beyond Gears 2's league, this can easily be judged without having completed that game.

Also Killzone 2's environments are bigger, also Killzone 2 supports 32 online players while Gears 2 is 10 online players max (2 more than Gears 1).

PS3 vs 360 sales
