Forums - Gaming - Sony says PS3 only console powerful enough for Killzone 2

Sony just said what everybody nows. Killzone 2 isn't a game that can be rendered with Directx 9 or Unreal engine 3.25. Just the HDR already means overkill to the X360, plus extra CPU codes would mean massive downgrade on a X360 version.

The game isnt even out and here we go with the graphics and what the 360 vs the PS3 can handle. All I can say is to date the 360 has kept pace with the PS3 when it comes to graphics, from what I have seen of KZ2 it looks nice but not blowing away Gears 2. Also they dont even have co op, seriously who releases a game in 2009 without co cp. COD world at war, gears 2 and Resistance 2 all had great co op modes.

The PS3 is an amazing machine but I am so done listening to the hype about the graphics. We are into year 3 PS3 and year 4 360 and no one has come out with a knockout will punch and no one will. PS3/360 vs WII there is a difference my firend who is getting a WII said why cant the graphics look like your 360's...LOL



PS3, WII and 360 all great systems depends on what type of console player you are.

Currently playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Fallout 3, Halo ODST and Dragon Age Origins is next game

130 employees working on a game for 5+ years with a budget of 30-60 million dollars will get you a game unlike any other.

 

i didn't know winter 2006 till now was 5+ years.

3 years.. sure.. but 5 ? no no no

 

Winter 2006?  They showed a video at E3 2005.  The game has obviosly been worked on since before E3 2005.  Design discussions, architectural discussions, art discussions...video of representative gameplay doesn't just magically appear.

 

 

No. Sony showed a animation created by some irish company in 2005. Gurilla was working on Killzone Liberation until october 2006 whereafter they switched over and started working on killzone 2.

 

Remember the framework was already layed out by the end of killzone 1.



Check out my game about moles ^

Gears of War 1 graphics still can compete with todays games, its confirmed that Gears of War 1 graphics was way ahead of its time.

7 of 10 websites gave Gears of War 2 best graphics of the year award ..

I seen videos of KZ2 showing off its polish, but I say something has to give to achieve such polish, well I came with a conclusion, The game looks amazing with plenty going on but I think Gears of War 2 over passes KZ2 on enemies count while keeping high visuals details..

Anyway while Gears 2 and Killzone 2 go at it I think Far Cry 2 has the best open field look than both and is a MULTIPLATFORM imagen if it was an exclusive made from the ground up for either console.

This again? How many games have we heard this about now?



Thats nothing but corporate spin.

On another note......I watched the intro on kotaku.com and as a 360 fan, it actually made me consider buying a PS3.

Check out my post in the Alan Wake thread(link) Killzone 2 has indeed been in development for around 5 years. And although Guerilla Games did not make the E3 CG, they provided the studio with art and models for them to work with. 



Good news Everyone!

XBox 360 has a better graphics card than PS3. I will take Gears of War 2 over Kill Zone 2 any day of the week.
Sony PR again and they are lying/misleading gamers once again.

1st off the game hasn't been released yet so you truly can say anything about how the graphics. we have a good idea from gameplay footage but you can't say that Gears 2 has better graphics than Killzone 2. Also you truly believe that the 360 can handle a game like Killzone. I don't think that the 360 can really handle Uncharted well let along Killzone. Sony isn't lying but you need to open your fanboy eyes.

Okay saxophonehero, lets have a technical discussion here. What part of Killzone 2 can't the Xbox 360 handle? What element is too much for the Xbox 360 to handle? Do you know? Or are you just regurgitating bias PR from Sony and other Sony related PR? There is only 1 element which the Xbox 360 would struggle with and that is all the texture content. The game would have to either be released on 2 DVDs or the textured re-created using procedural synthesis. However, if you take the manpower, money, and time spent on killzone 2, there is NOTHING preventing it from looking that good on the Xbox 360. Technologically speaking, the Xbox 360 is capable of handling everything killzone 2 has. Don't be a fanboy. If you don't know anything about 3D programming and technologies, don't post such ignorant comments. 

The reason why Xbox 360 exclusives don't seem to look as good as Uncharted or Killzone 2 is because the Xbox 360 has nothing to prove. Instead of spending extra time and effort making games look a bit better, the developers decide to get the game out to people as soon as possible. The ONLY reason why Sony spent this much money making Killzone 2 is because they made crazy claims about the PS3 and now they want to prove that it is what they said. The Playstation 3 is not remotely as powerful as Sony wanted and claimed. It is powerful though, a bit more powerful than the Xbox 360, but not by much. Sony claimed the PS3 would be capable of 2 Teraflops of computation power. It is less than 1/4th that.
