First off, I would like to metion that this thread is not to dis Killzone 2 or praise Gears of war 2 but instead to educate you about their graphics ;)
I would like to mention that Killzone 2 looks very grey.
If you look at the walls, they have about 0 textures...
Now lets take a look at Gears of war 2
Now you can see there is far more detail in the walls in gears of war 2, you can also see that there is more vibrant colors in this game as well. I don't know about you but I think Marcus Fenix is way cooler than the guy from the first pic.
Now lets take a look at the landscaping in the two games...
Gears of war 2
Awesome landscaping and textures
Killzone 2
...
...
Not a single plant found in any of the pics of killzone 2.
That is because it is harder to program plants than solid cornored walls (what is in killzone 2 most of the time).
The particle effects in Killzone 2 are awesome but the problem with killzone 2 is that it's so damn blury imo. (Meaning you cant see anything when a gernade blows off).
I know I shouldn't be taking this into affect but the cutscen in the beginning of the Killzone 2 demo was really shaky (almost laggy) where as in gears of war 2 the cutscenes are smooth and well thought out.
Remember keep it clean, if you are offended by this get your ass out of here...discuss!
