One important thing that I think people are missing here: Guerrilla Games is a wholly owned first party developer for Sony is it not? Epic is wholly third party. It is amazing to me that we are comparing a first and third party game. You read into that what you want.

 

Get over it yourself, it's still exclusive to Microsoft Game Stuios. Microsoft publishes the game. Epic games is an independant third party studio, fully financed by Microsoft to make this game. If you want to talk about a third party title thats exclusive to Sony, you should be talking to about MGS4, which is published by Konami, and has remained close to Sony out of loyalty, rather than financially or being in control of rights. Gears of War is a 2nd party project, in which Microsoft owns the rights to. The truth hurts.

 

Wow, do you have a burr under your saddle, lol?  I didn't say anything.  I simply said we are comparing a first party and third party game.  I even said read into it what you want.  Why are you so defensive?  I've got a PS3 AND and 360.  Both games are looking pretty good to me and I'll pick up neither, one, or both, once reviews and such are in...

Exactly what "truth" are you talking about that hurts, BTW?

Epic also specializes in making engines. It's their main money maker, and you can guarantee that they are 10x better with their own engine than any of their licensees.

GG was bought by Sony only a year and a half ago. I find it funny that at the time, people would've been like, "Geurrilla vs Epic? lulz," and yet now people are saying, "Geurrilla is first party. It SHOULD look better," despite the fact that Epic are some of the best engine developers in the industry. Honestly, show me a first party game on Microsoft's own console that matches Gears.

Of course, I'm not saying that being first party doesn't effect things, as it certainly does. I just wish more people would realize that being first party will help Geurrilla improve the Killzone franchise in more ways than just graphics...

 

This is great.  STAGE assumed I was going one way and you assume I'm going the other.  (I think).  I find it interesting that we are comparing first party to third party developed games.  That's all.  I'll say it again for the hard of reading:  You read into it what you want.

Killzone 2 looks better to me. Here's my reasoning:

-- Gears 2's framerate is all over the place. Whenever something dramatic or cool happens, it drops painfully. Whenever I watch this gameplay video, I tend to feel slightly nausious in places because of this.

 

 Thank goodness I'm not the only one who sees this. It really annoys me and the fact is that it's not only Gears 2. There are huge framerate drops in Gears 1 after I just recompleting the whole campaign earlier today.

I haven't seen anything really to drop in Killzone 2.

Now where have I seen this thread before? Hm? This is a new one? Oh sorry, must'ive mistaken this thread for the numerous "Killzonezorz vs. Gearz of Warzorz" threads that have already been discussed to death.

Then again, graphics are the most important aspect of gaming (Gameplay? Story? Keep dreaming kid!), so I suppose you guys can keep on arguing. Obviously this is integral to video gaming society, so argue away!

First of all, I had never seen a thread that invited users to post their opinions  solely about  both games' graphics.

Secondly, every opininon given by anyone, is affected by his personal conception of things, so if you expect someone on a forum to give a totally impartial opinion, go look somewhere else. I know that fanboys that have lost any sense of criteria can be a bit frustrating at times, but they are people have to coexist with while on a gaming forum.

Finally, I think it would be very stupid to post a thread of " Killzone 2 vs Gears of War II: gameplay" , if any of us haven't played either games. Graphics, are maybe the only thing that can be argued about a game that hasn't gone out to the market, as  viewing graphics in a preview of a game isn't very different of seeing them while actually playing. And story, well its pretty obvious isn't it?

Either think about what you post before doing it, or stop flamebaiting people please.

for my eyes Killzone 2 is better,but not for much than GW2,and I want to play K2 more than GW2.

Gears is a 2nd party game Microsoft published game.

 

 

Hmmm.... I believe a second party is an entity that is partially owned and/or is an exclusive developer to a single console.  In other words, you could possibly argue that Bungie is more of a second than a third party.  Epic most certainly is not exclusive to one console.  Yeah, Gears is exclusive as a game is concerned, but they aren't, as a developer, exclusive to Microsoft.
