Expert: 'Killzone 2's Graphics Are "Undisputed Winner", Have Some Flaws

Posted by Brian Leahy - Thursday, November 13, 2008 11:32 AM

Digital Foundry, a company that makes video capture hardware, has had their experts look at the graphics in the Killzone 2 multiplayer beta and has declared them an "undisputed winner."

Although they point to some slowdowns in busy firefights, the "overall impact [of framerate drops] is limited though; it’s not a gamebreaker, in most cases the game is very smooth indeed."

"Graphically, Killzone 2 is an undisputed winner. Initially it does look rather blurry. Yes, this is in part down to the quincunx anti-aliasing, but it’s mostly due to the motion blur. I’m not a fan of blurring in video games, but the entire range of techniques used in Killzone 2 combines to create a look and feel that is entirely its own, deeply immersive, and - in the heat of battle - brutal, visceral and quite unlike any other game."

This certainly mirrors our experiences with the game as it is definitely one of the finest looking titles in development.

"The motion blur, the post-processing, the lighting, the shadows, the animation of your player’s movements… all of it is geared towards a closer emulation of reality. That, combined with the absolutely brutal action, bodes well for the final game and I have really high hopes for the single-player campaign where the full power of this engine can really be unleashed."

It remains to be seen if the gameplay will catch everyone as the graphics undoubtedly will, but great graphics can only help sell a game.

Cool, but I don't want to hear people saying KZ2 is running at 60 fps in the future. :P



The BuShA owns all!

Nice. Anyway I'd like to know what a graphics expert is, as I've never heard of that position in the gaming industry. A somewhat peculiar use of words IMO. And undisputed winner as opposed to what?




 

another must own exclusive =).

sony is doing such a good job!



who CAN disagree that kz2 has the best graphics?

its weird that no matter what happens, there will not be any game with better graphics than gran turismo 5 prologue (aside from gran turismo 5 itself).

so all these discussions about gears vs. killzone or whatever seem meaningless to me, when i've already seen the absolute best graphics that can be made on any platform.



I think Uncharted 2 and God of a war 3 will top Killzone 2



 

This time next year, the best console graphics will all be PS3 games lol:

1) GT5
2) MGS4
3) Killzone 2
4) Uncharted 2
5) Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

I won't count GT5P, because it's a prologue.

lol, I love the subtitle
... have some flaws

but I am really looking forward to this game as well.



̶3̶R̶D̶   2ND! Place has never been so sweet.


Man I hope this game is in the same league as COD4 or even surpasses it to take fps to another level. I am really looking forward to this game and I hope it smashes some sort of record, I mean it has been in development for over three years now.

Sony We need this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
