Forums - Gaming - Why does Killzone 2 look so bad compared to Gears of war 2?

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!

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

yeah...



You are comparing the color variability of a demo to a full game. You can't possibly think that's a meaningful comparison can you? Hell you even used multiplayer from KZ2 and single player from GeoW2 for your pictures.

Is it physically possible for you to actually do a fair comparison between a game on PS3 and another on 360?

This is just sad...



In all actuality no one can deny that Gears 2 has superior textures. Thats just a fact. However K2 has amazing animations / lighting / and particle effects. At then end of the day K2 looks better though I prefer Gears and its art style. K2 is the best looking console game but honestly it wasn't as good as I thought they would be when I played the demo.
