How about we compare that multiplayer shot of Killzone 2 captured at a rather close angle to a similar multipalyer shot of Gears 2 also captured at a rather close angle.  Hell, I'll even chose one where the characters are in a similar stance!

And let's use full 720p shots, so we can see all the ugly details in both.  :)

And then you'll see how Gears of War's characters are nothing more than fancy texture work that provide faux detail, while Killzone's models are almost all polygons.  And you'll also see just how ugly Gears' texture work can be. :P

1. The Conduit
2. Killzone 2
3. Gears of War 2
4. Halo 3

Most of these games use 720p and The Conduit is 480p so that only like a 240p difference.

I guess it is better to compare them in dynamic and in HD. Screenshots does not do any good comparation nowdays.

Also I heard in Halo 3 there is photoshot mode, which allows to make pictures with better textures, then ingame ...

makingmusic476 screenshots are a fair comparison. KZ 2 wins.

Btw about the conduit..i think it has the same problems as Mario Galaxy and Corruption, screenshots don't do it justice. Still it's unreasonable to compare

it with latest titles on the HD consoles. Try Perfect Dark Zero for more justice.

I dont know if the people who are saying conduit are joking or serious. Conduit has graphics worse than ps1, how can you say it beats KZ2 or Gears.

But between Gears and KZ2 id say KZ2, there is just something which makes it look better

The GT5 cars look more real than my actual car. Killzone 2 is also extremely impressive graphically.

The OP did a horrible job at this though, he posted many CGI pics from the 360 games and put up really crappy Conduit screens. Not to mention his KZ2 pics didn't look half as good as some others posted...

Yeah I like my 360, I don't own a PS3 (and probably won't), but you should at least make sure you do your best at making fair comparisons..

Like others have said the comparison lacks consistency across the board in terms of the quality of screen shots , CGI/Artwork VS gameplay pics etc.

IMO I think Conduit murders Killzone 2 graphicaly , I feel like throwing my ps3 in the bin when ever I see it.

@MakingMusic
Yeah, the KZ2 character models seem to have more depth to them than the GeoW ones from those shots.
Still, I try not to stand still long enough in FPS's to notice the difference too much

Ok now we have seen graphics. thank god(miyamoto) I'm not a graphic whore.

graphics this, graphics that, grahpics this, graphics that.... no wonder alot of developers goes bye bye.

Can we now talk about gameplay?
