Major props man for staying level headed throughout this entire thread.

As for Fallout 3, the game is very impressive. Have you checked it out yet?

I have also watched some videos on Killzone 2 and while it may not be confirmed (unless someone on the forums proves it) I have seen some things that hinted at a level or two that may contain barren woodland areas like those shown in that Fallout 3 picture.

It is understandable why the World looks like that though, in terms of "lack of vegetation", because from what I have read trees and plant life are unable to live in such conditions of high level radiation and environmental pollution. I did a quick google today and I read up on "Red Forest", it talks about how all tree and plant life close to the power plant there were unable to grow, the surrounding area is pretty much barren. I think there is an area in Equador with the same problem.

I would love to see Killzone 3 though return to the ISA home planet though, to see what GG can do in this regard. I had no idea Killzone 2 looked that good, I have the game sitting here in front of me and have not popped it on yet. Those screenshots you posted make me think that even with the technical issues the game had, there is no denying it looked great for the system it was released on.

Once again, great job with this thread.

I did play Fallout 3, I just never got the chance to play more than 20 minutes of it. I saw similar scenes to the one posted, but that one just took my breath away. Perhaps it was the low resolution of the screenshot but I am definetely going to run out and buy that game tomorrow instead of waiting for Gamefly to ship it.

I agree, Killzone 2 does look amazing. I just wish people would at least read a couple of my posts before trying to start some sort of holy crusade in Sony's honor. I'm not here to bash any games or systems, I just wanted to write an informative article which I thought a few people would enjoy.

Thank you for the comment! If I can stay level headed while dozens of engineers and mathmaticians scream while running from terminal to terminal trying to figure out why our simulation program crashed on a cluster that is costing the company $150 dollars a minute, I can certainly handle a few trolls and fanboys.

 

 

I had the game on Gamefly as well and am thinking of eventually picking it up to continue where I left off. Fallout 3 truly is impressive. I doubted it at first and I admit I was wrong in my initial opinion.

Keep it up with how you present yourself.

+1 respect.
