Its funny how 360 fanboys will say they are the same yet ps3 fanboys will say KZ2 is better personally resistance has the best gameplay out of either but in a one on one comparison Killzone 2 is miles ahead of gears in terms of graphics but in my personal opinion I like gears of war gameplay more than Killzone simply because of it being third person but the cover system in Killzone should make this an interesting battle. We will have to wait to see which one is better when they come out. I personally like a third person game over a first person game when it comes to a campaign but I almost always like an fps as far as the multiplayer goes. Remember this is an opinion.

 i agree with you on the third person...that is why i choose Socom confrontation over them all

Seriously I know Gears 2 will have better gameplay, but Killzone 2 is just epic in ever detail. The whole game looks like its CG. Gears 2 looks awesome, and compared to anything else I think its easily better than everything other than Uncharted.

Killzone 2 really is in a league all by itself for consoles. The only game I can metion to compare it to is Crysis. Maybe some of you are basing your opinions on old footage and need to look at the newer footage or something.

Short answer: Killzone 2.

In a recent interview with the BBC's Click program, Hideo Kojima, creator of the acclaimed Metal Gear franchise, has revealed that the first few years of development on MGS4 were "trial and error".

"We started to work on Metal Gear Solid 4 four years ago, after finishing Metal Gear Solid 3," said Kojima-san. "At that time we really didn't know what the PS3 was going to be like, so the first two years was all about experimenting, developing and trial and error."

"In the last two years, we've known what the PS3 is capable of, the specifications of it and how we can utilise it," he continued. "PS3 is a monster machine. That's why it took so much time to create Metal Gear Solid 4."

» Gears Of War Budget Only $10 Million

Gamesindustry.biz reports that Epic Games VP Mark Rein has claimed the budget for their upcoming Xbox 360 exclusive action game Gears of War is relatively low for a next-gen console title. Here is a snip:

When asked by an audience member how much GOW had cost to produce, Rein replied, "So far, around $10 million, maybe a little less. The publisher didn't pay much more than that for it... And smart developers don't go over [deadline], let's say that," he added.

It has to be pointed out that figure is for game development only and not for the game's use of Epic's Unreal Engine 3 (which of course is largely funded by third party developers and publishers who have been licensing the engine by the droves lately)

D: any intrest of making a game on the wii? hahaha
YES! Even though I was less than impressed with my Wii, as well as a lot fo the games I have played, I would love to make a game on this system. I think there is a lot to be done with it. Plus...it’s like a BILLION times cheaper to make a Wii game versus a 360 or PS3 game...which is good. Making a 40 or 50 million dollar game is cool, I love making big games don’t get me wrong, but you have soooo many more masters with their hands in the creative pot when that kind of money is getting thrown around. Hopefully when the game industry becomes more comfortable with those budget numbers things will get better. I mean, we were just getting used to 20-30 million when the next gen came around and now big games are costing double. I heard MGS4 costs 70 million. Which actually sounds ludicrous to me, but in a way it doesn’t if you factor int he MGS4 and MGS online...and the tons of cinematics and long development time...it could get up to that.

i personally like killzones grey tone, i mean,its a gritty war game not happy butterflies and rainbows

OT killzone 2

I looked a bit at the videos, but the screenshots in the previous page are where you can best see the low polygon-count in the characters. That wouldn't be a staple of a technically excellent game, so hopefully they can fix that in the final version.

Maybe KZ2 will be superior overall, but I don't think either game can be said to be vastly above the other. Technically they're quite identical.

Hmm, since both games are still unreleased I wouldn't like to comment. When I can see them both right in front of me -playing as they were intended, rather than looking at cherry picked screen shots - i'll be better placed to decide.

I do, however, think that when they are eventually released it will be hard to pick between them in things other than perhaps art style, and bias towards a particular console may sway opinions.

FJ-W
i didn't see a proved number on MGS4
why does it matter anyway that MGS4 had a higher budget it was obviously worth it imo

killzone 2 has better grafix than gears 2.

i think most people agre to that already apart from a few die hards.

But don't you think people should at least justify their opinions? Otherwise this looks just like a pissing match to see how many fanboys there are in each camp.
