Actually there are games with benchmarking. The Xbox 360 excels at general purpose game engines and the PS3 excels a little more at specialised game engines which minimise the disadvantages of the system and maximise the advantages. Call of Duty 4/6 and GTA IV are two of the highest selling games of all times, two games which were coded seperately at huge cost and both are two games which give higher frame-rates to the Xbox 360.

Top level Sony PS3 exclusives tend to be designed around the systems limitations and strengths. The two easiest examples are Killzone 2 and Uncharted.

Killzone 2 sacrafices latency for parallel computing and they save their polygon budget with a lot of hard edges, industrial type environments and the game design makes it fit because they added 'weight' to the controls to hide the latency and they set the game in a desolate type world.

Uncharted 2 is built around a streaming engine. The whole game design is based on a linear single direction experience. Their streaming engine simply wouldn't work if people could run around as quickly as Call of Duty so they slow them down with climbing and they prevent people from backtracking.

they are much closer than you might think.

No way dude, KZ2 looks a little better but it is not a generation ahead or whatever of Halo: Reach which is still in alpha. I predict that the end product of Halo Reach will be slightly inferior but with alot more things going on at once on screen. Also I own KZ2 and do not own any Halo game(Reach might be the first keeper...maybe) so take that however you will.

ur  clearly blind lol....i feel bad for you

Point 1.

"Don't even try to argue, you haven't played KZ to know shit." - If this was directed at me, your not only wrong, but have no clue about what games i play. Lemme guess, you saw my Halo: Reach thread signature, checked my games list for which titles i won, and assumed i never played Killzone 2, correct? No? Yes? Doesn't matter, because not only have i played Killzone 2, i've beaten it. Just like i've beaten Infamous, but still prefer Prototype.

Point 2.

kowenicki said that we should wait to see which game is better GRAPHICALLY (since you like to CAPS, maybe this will get through to you), "we dont know which will look better yet... that will become apparent as time passes" but went on to state his OPINIONS (as shown by his use of the word "personally") about the GAMEPLAY (a proven track record of past Halo titles). Your ignorance is classic.

Point 3.

You are trolling, and you've made it quite obvious. Your well known for it.

I think his point is that gameplay trumps looks, and whichever looks better, it's pretty clear that Halo will have the superior gameplay.

me too =)  

Really? a generation ahead of Halo? I remember playing split screen on N64... Doesn't that make Halo several generations ahead of KZ2?

Halo Reach doesn't look as good as KZ2, though we're judging based on an Alpha build, so your statement doesn't mean jack.

As for everyone else, I say we let him have this. IS KZ2 likely to be surpassed by Halo: Reach graphically? probably not. All it will have is way better game modes, superior engine, split screen, forge, theater, and 5-6x the sales. I think we can settle for that.

Ahead, maybe but not by 'light-years', think your exaggerating a bit. Graphics dont make the game anyway, they just help build he atmosphere. You could make a game with the best graphics ever and no one would buy it if all you did was bounce a ball against a wall

Lol Every Halo game plays better then Killzone 2?

Dude Halo gameplay is somewhat like Call of Duty gameplay.. which is good don't get me wrong please lol

Seriously you only say that because you DISLIKE the gameplay mechanic which KZ2 offers, You probably can't even aim in KZ2, Am i right? Technically you suck at it and i am guessing you are good at Halo therefore you Assume that Halo has better gameplay? BIASED

I played Halo 3 on Split screen with a friend and to be honest the gameplay doesn't excite me its easy While KZ2 is a more challenged game online with its weighty feeling and a slight delay making it feel realistic.
