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).

 

lol, i just dont think a game should take like 4 years to develop, you and i know thats like almost half of  a consoles life, what next another 3-4 years for kilzone 3? i understand that pretty games take time but gears of war 2 look pretty and only took like 2 years to makes ever since gears 1 came out 2 years ago, yes gears have less players on multi play but resistance2 have like how many and didnt take 4 years to develop, all i'm saying is that i hope the next killzone dont take as long.
