| Procrastinato said: This is kind of a silly thread. KZ2 is basically unbeatable, with regards to technical quality, by any cross-platform title. Even as an exclusive, its like that only a few titles, including a would-be Killzone 3, will surpass it. MW2 is *amazing* in that it is cross-platform (!), thus sacrificing many visual issues to the "lowest common denominator" of the two HD consoles, and it still looks awesome. It doesn't best KZ2 in terms of visuals, however. -- anyone who says otherwise hasn't actually played both, or is wearing really really heavily tinted fanboy goggles. If IW was willing to drop the framerate of MW2 to 30 fps, and improved upon a bunch of their visual tech, then we *might* have a decent comparison between it and KZ2. As is though, its no contest. |
But to say "it's no contest." shows your own bias as well. As I stated earlier, I prefer the look of Call of Duty over Killzone 2, it's a personal preference thing. My minds eye says "This looks better" because I like the environments, set peices and color palatte more. It's completely subjective. Yes, the textures are better, the particle effects are better, the AA is better in Killzone 2, but that doesn't mean that it will "look better" to everyone. For me Killzone 2 was beaten already by Resistance 2 and Uncharted 1 on the PS3 and Gears 2 on the 360, because I like them better. You can't say something like the bolded above and then talk about other people's "fanboy goggles" without admitting that you yourself are looking through Sony colored glasses.
