Gameplay's one thing, and I think a video posted earlier with Crysis running in "holy shit" mode proves the point handily that Killzone's style is creating the illusion that it even looks in the same neighborhood as Crysis, but:



All other things being equal, scalable technology is what is always going to make me sit back and say "wow".

Q: Is this realtime?
A: No, it was rendered frame by frame slowly using this method:

I am fully aware. That's why I made the comment about scalable technology - a computer that could run this in real time doesn't exist yet, but in theory one could do that in real time at some point.

 

If it can't be watched in rt why bother ?

It makes for a very nice music video, obviously. That and it will be possible at some point, one would assume.

@CGI-Quality: Thank you. This isn't actually as impressive as the "Crysis on high" video from earlier in the thread, but it's one of my favorite videos just for how it showcases the wind physics.

It's exactly this kind of over-hyping that always leads to dissapointment.

 

Hey, I got a ban for saying that.

 

Mods are like cops, not technically above the law, but really are they ever going to be held accountable for their actions? Not likely!

I will just quickly point out that that website has an established history of Sony-leaning articles. To the point you have to wonder if they have any idea what's actually going on in the world of gaming.

Once again I'll simply state that Killzone 2 looks like a marginal graphical improvement on Gears of War 2, which itself looks nothing like as good as Crysis.

At the end of the day Sony has spent anywhere between $60-100 million on a game on ostensibly the most powerful console (even if the difference over the Xbox 360 is marginal) over the course of four years with work spanning at least three studios and they STILL fall FAR short of Crysis.

Console's haven't peaked (none of them), but it's fair to say Crysis is safe.

I'll answer these in order you posted them.

Lol.  Looking through the site, they seem the same as any other site, they're gushing over the Wii and Obama story, so lol.

Lol.  KZ2 is marginally better than Gears 2?  That's a lie.  But I will admit, neither game is near Crysis running on the highest settings for the 1% of the gaming population that can run it.

Lol.  Pure speculation, you don't have any clue how much the game costs/ed.  You don't know how many years it was in development, and you don't know how many studios worked on it.  Don't flat out lie. 

Agreed.



People are really fast to talk about Sony fanboys and how they hype a game when an article has an opionion for a ps3 game.

On-topic. Killzone 2 looks great but not better than Crysis.

I wasn't on these forums back when Halo 3 was about to be released. Was there this kind of hate going around back then for Halo 3?

If it was anything like the rest of the internet, the phrase "Halo 2.5" was probably thrown around a lot.



I don't mind if KZ2 won't touch Crysis's heel,


BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE, Killzone 2 IN GRAPHICS, PHYSICS and ANIMATION DETROYS, and hear me out here, not just barely surpasses game "x" , no no no... DESTROYS every console game released before it, and that certainly as hell includes MGS4 and Geow2.

And I must add as a convenient note for anyone that will try to deny this : I'm referring to any game that struggles to be elaborate, detailed and close to real life in any of those aspects above while having their own artistic style. I don't know if the game will be worth squat, but let's get this out of the way, nothing comes even close to this game, and while I'm at it Starcraft, just shut it fanboy and don't embarrass yourself anymore, the hell you know how much this game cost to produce anyway? no need to be so angry about it, people will be the judges so let's just wait for the game and play it.

The community was much smaller back then, especially the 360 community, so there wasn't a ton of talking about Halo 3, iirc.  Just about how huge the sales would be. 

I don't think it was discussed much on a scale of hating it or not, but I do remember seeing 'halo 2.5'.



I saw the title and I immidiately knew it was RED DEVIL who posted it...

NO, your topics on this area have ALWAYS been failures, and this topics is a failure as well. It does not look better by nay form of the imagination.

On another note, why the hell is everything brown and gray? All those famazing grphics and they are rendering fust and trash? Really? REALLY? This game might as well look like Quake II, at least the sky in Quake II was a different color....
