Forums - Gaming - GRFX Comparison: Crysis and Killzone 2 - The BITTER Truth Finally Revealed!

Crysis wins, but I will never have an opportunity to play it. I'll be satisfied with what I got.



Around the Network

Why is there even a question here. Crysis blows Killzone 2 away, and Crysis offers superior environments as well. The amount of detail in trees is nothing in comparison to environments in Killzone.

@MikeB, lol better lighting in Killzone 2, are you sure?

@whoever said you need an amazing monitor to see it look like that, same goes for the PS3 shots, and my HD TV cost 3 times what my computer monitor did. So if you tally that into a PS3 price, my PC is way cheaper than a PS3 setup (2k vs 3k)



No doubt to me Crysis wins, but they didn't pick the best shots ever..the facial shot should b e of two people with the same expression..the explosion shot is just horrible for the Killzone 2 game.

I dunno..the KZ2 shots look blurry to me.

Crysis on a good enough PC looks great, Killzone 2 looks great. I like Killzone 2's lighting, art direction and character animations better. Most important of course is which one is more fun to play.

Well ... obviously there was a reason they didn't side-by-side compare that.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but what exactly was the point of doing a side-by-side of a game on a $400 console vs a game on a $2000 PC? Computer games have been graphically superior to home consoles since the 1970s. Do people still debate this?

Dunno if they've changed the picture, but this is the comparison picture I get from the article.

So dunno what's happened there.

 

Yea, looks like they changed it. Still, why are they using Killzone 2's 2007 build to compare with Crysis? I'm all for saying Crysis at it's max looks better than anything out there right now, but I don't think showing the oldest available screenshots for Killzone 2 is the way to do a comparison.

Yeah, they definitely used an old bild, because Killzone 2 looks like **** in that screenshot.  God, at least compare 2009 build =/

 



  • 2010 MUST Haves: WKC, Heavy Rain, GoWIII, Fable III, Mass Effect 2, Bayonetta, Darksiders, FFXIII, Alan Wake, No More Heroes 2, Fragile Dreams: FRotM, Trinity: SoZ, BFBC2.
  • Older Need To Buys: Super Mario Bros. Wii, Mario Kart Wii, Deadspace, Demon's Souls, Uncharted 2.

There is definitely more to list that I want, but that's my main focus there.

LOL. Killzone 2 hater feels the wrath. Was reading the comments on his comparison, did a refresh, and got:

You do not need a 2k PC to run Crysis on those settings.  A GTX260 is capable of running Crysis in 1900x1200 with Ultra high (0xAA) and running at a stable framerate.  This means you hardly need 2k computer to run the game, more like $800 for the required.  If you are including the monitor, you should then be including the $1500(minimum) for the HDTV to get the PS3 to produce those graphics.

$1500 minimum? WTF? Since when did 720p TVs start at $1500?!

And seriously ... whatever price you want to target with your PC build, you're still saying you need a GFX card that starts at $300 to even run this. That's not a relevant comparison at all.



But with only a 720p you aren't getting the best graphics.

You need a 1080p TV to get the best graphics out of it.

KZ2 doesn't run at 1080p. It's 720p or 1080i.
