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

OriGin on 13 January 2009

Crysis looks fantastic - I never said that technically it doesn't look better.

In terms of feel, atmosphere and game world - I believe that Killzone 2 does it better graphically.

I've played through Crysis on my PC at full res with good frames and all settings on Very High and have played the latest few builds of Killzone 2 on various televisions in various locations.

I will enjoy Killzone 2, it's unfortunate that there is no Keyboard and Mouse control ability to the game however which detracts from it hugely for me.

The amazing thing is this: I've seen everyone comparing Killzone 2 vs Crysis graphics, when some time ago the graphics comparison was "console shooter vs console shooter", so basically what i'm seeing is that Killzone 2 has so good visuals that it was not enough comparing it to any console shooter, so people is willing to compare it to PC shooters, and not just anyone, but CRYSIS!!!...

I know that Crysis wins in visuals (but in coding they're the worst), but it's amazing what Guerrilla Games (and the K2 team) have accomplished with this FPS...

So you were just treating your opinion as fact?  Ah ok.

 

It is a fact that in my opinion that game is shit. Why must review scores dictate what I enjoy?

Oh, and also; are you retarded? Its not that hard, make an effort...

I believe an NVidia 7800 GTX, with 256MB, costs considerably less than $150. Then again, Crysis would be a slideshow on such a card.  Heck, its choppy even on the 8800 GTX that was recommended when it was released.  Thank the GPU gods for dual GPUs, if you want to play Crysis at a decent framerate.

 

 It would not be a slideshow. You would not even be able to turn anti-aliasing on and put anything above medium settings because then shader model simply isn't compatible. Thus, it would be a crappy-looking slideshow.

I don't understand the point of comparing stills on fast moving games.
I'm sure if you take a while on Killzone to sit back an admire the scenery you'll catch a round in the back of your skull before you can say "nice textures!"
Just seems pointless to me but I'm sure these types of comparisons will never stop.
Just like those pointless comparisons of multi-plat racers; who the hell can count and take note of every pixel while racing round a track?
guys just got skillz i don't i guess.

That first Kilzone 2 pic is CG from the first CG trailer.

Nope, all of those images are from the 2007 build. Except for the first image for the title of the article, that looks like a concept art.

Anyone remember - Haze vs Crysis a year back? The same is happening here.

No way, I was around back then as well. There's no comparison with this high budget impressive PS3 exclusive vs that much lower budget game which was planned to be multi-platform.

Uh, no it's not. The CG trailer is from 2005 and doesn't show any characters that were shown from 2007 onwards.

However, that image, like all of the Killzone 2 images in this comparison, come from the 2007 build.

For me from what I have seen from the latest builds Killzone 2 seems far more immersive to me.
