KZ2 or the beta for kz3 have not impressed me, for me U2 and GOWIII are still the best when it comes to consoles, but consoles get shit on by pc no doubt.

Crysis 2 uses real time global illumination and lighting can be adjusted on the fly. Which is why if you stand still the light and shadows will shift over time, unlike killzone. In Crysis you had a large light source illuminating a massive island full of complex geometry. The small cooridoors that killzone lives on don't compare. 

And again lighting is one thing. RAM intensive features of the engine, like textures, are/will be far superior on Crysis/Crysis 2 compared to Killzone 2/3. And a killzone fanboy shouldn't talk about fire; did they fix the flame pisser? 

The character models on Gears 3 are fantastic(better than UC2/killzone, not as good as GoW3), but I don't see it looking better than UC 2's atmosphere...the effects like snow sticking to shirt and jeans, wet clothes, (chloe), extra-ordinary lighting (my god...), not a single jaggie.

And its almost 100% fact that it won't look better than UC 2's cutscenes which are CGI quality.

Wait...

I played all the HIgh RATE games, but none of their graphic can exceed KZ3.  It a BEAST.

I'll wait till I play the full game before I make judgement but I can't help but think that best graphics belong to the 3rd person view genre.

KZ3 at least takes the best looking FPS (from non other than KZ2). I'm going to be very, very picky here and say that while MLAA is very welcome and has definately improved the graphics, it is more jaggy then QAA . QAA for all it's blurry faults was at least very good at edge smoothing and looked particularly good on KZ2. Final embarrassing nitpick....sometimes the explosions can look low res and poorly animated.

As much as I like graphics, gameplay is much more important. This is where Uncharted series dominates imo.

Just wait until RAGE comes in and pwns all

Crysis has not real time global illumination (like Killzone 2). However small corridors in Crysis would suck (unlike Killzone 2): http://www.crymod.com/thread.php?postid=417088 . Lighting and shadows in Crysis are really weak, there's a bit of bloom and other nice effects to cover that, but overall its lighting and shadows compartment is technically poor. It's good for landscapes, but when things get really close it's ugly (like the grabbed soldier, it's not just a matter of corridors).

Crysis 2 has a bit better lighting and shadows compartment (heck! They imported graphics technology from Killzone and Uncharted), but it will be not the graphics king, not on consoles.

wht he said

..Sorry but the character models are not better imo. Can anyone go find a 720p video of Gears 3 and Uncharted 2, put them head to head and watch? Is it just me who doesn't find Gears 3 better? It looks amazing no doubt but it doesnt really come up to GoW3 -> Uncharted 2 -> Killzone 3 (god forbid Uncharted 3) standards. ..Possibly Killzone 2 in.. some areas, yeah I can give it that atleast, its got colors xP but I like the gritty ness from KZ2.

Gears 3 does most things really really good but its just not AS good as them, thats all im saying from the footage we've seen... gonna play the beta when my mate buys bulletstorm xP so i'll get a better view then I guess.

"only bragging rights"

I'm here on VGC and im a sony fanboy for one reason... TO BRAG Mwahahaha >:D!
