The graphics in Reach's split screen mode blow away those in Killzone 2 - you can't even see players 2-4!

Seriously though, Halo: Reach doesn't need to look as good to be more impressive. The fact is, KZ2 was made for the sole purpose of pushing the graphical bar. Halo games are made to be the best multiplayer shooter experience you'll find. Is Reach likely to beat KZ2 in overall looks? I'd say no (though it's outdoor environments are likely to be more impressiive). Why? Not 360 limitations, but there's only so much you can do when making sure your game can do split screen Coop, or 4 screen multiplayer. Reach will be more impressive, but KZ2 sacrificed these capabilities to offer the highest tier of graphics. Halo Reach won't beat those graphics (probably) but it will be the better game, and sales will reflect that.

I agree with everything you said.

i think and hope killzone 3 will solve that 

KZ2's engine isn't even made to allow splitscreen. They're either going to have to make another new engine, and another 3-4 year dev cycle, or shoehorn it in. Either way, it's either going to be next gen, or sacrifice it's graphics a bit to achieve it.

It official no xbox game will ever look as good to the forum users on vgcharts...why i am not suprised!?

halo screens clearly look better but people get upset cause there blueray player they bought is a year newer and not better.

In your opinion.

Other people tend to think the Killzone 2 screens clearly look better.



                            

Wow. This thread is like a trifecta of fail. First, the article posts concept art as a screen shot. Then the OP, just by user name alone, and then all the the back and forth trolling.

3 strikes yer out lol.

circular argument

OT

the fact is the article is bullshit... it is comparing some grabbed shots of a game that isnt out for 9 months and one of those "screenshots" is artwork ffs.

fail article... fail thread.

 

 

 

THANK YOU! THis site is notorious for using artwork as screenshots, and comparing totally different games &  builds of a game (ex: Alan Wake vs. Heavy Rain).

I couldn't seem to find anyone talking about Forge mode, and Halo's now famous Cinema mode. These undoubtly will be in the game as well, and that's a whole lot to fit, plus amazing graphics. Also, for the sales argument...this is VGChartz...we talk sales here, this is the best place for it.

Nice leo, love how you've ignored the dozen or so trolls on the PS3 side (some of them experienced) in this thread to pick out the new guy who posts one snide remark against the PS3.

You FAILED to READ leo. He said, "I am personally 100% certain which will play better and be the better gaming packagae though"

 

Seriously...READ. No contradictions here.

He is clearly contradicting himself..

Also, its hilarious that you guys call PS3 OWNERS TROLLS when the FACT yes FACT is KZ2 is LIGHT YEARS AHEAD OF HALO REACH GRAPHICLY at the moment.

There is no reason to compare either game at all, HALO IS HALO, KILLZONE IS KILLZONE. KZ2 looks a generation ahead of halo reach PERIOD. Don't even try to argue, you haven't played KZ to know shit.

Just be happy HALO REACH is looking technically more impressive than HALO 3. Call me a troll, but I am telling it llike it is, and if your too blind to admit the truth, then that's your problem.

An unfair comparison in my opinion. As others have mentioned Halo does 4 player co-op and places it's emphasis on wide open environments as opposed to Killzone 2's more restricted and linear gameplay, which allows for better visuals, given that it's more limited.

Killzone 2 was developed as a technical showcase, and it shows. It's an absolute monster in the graphics department, and despite being out for nearly a year, not much has come close. I'm actually still not sure if Uncharted 2 really does surpass it.

While Halo Reach might be in it's Alpha Stage I sincerely doubt it will be able to match KZ2's visuals, simply becuase it's a different engine focusing on different strengths.
