Well.  I guess it was always going to be difficult to argue about the internet at large when the one single gaming site I frequent is VGChartz :S

Oh well.  I won based on MY internet

 


When are you getting your PS3 Starcraft?

^ This here people is how Starcraft expresses humbleness.

Anyone know if there is any plant-life in the game? Not that I care, I would just like to know because that is one of the "arguments" I have heard.

Not from anything I have seen. 

But unless plants are a requirement for you in a game, why should it matter?

People are complaining about the lack of plant life?  Just vegetarians, or do meat-eaters care as well?

 



Thanks for the input, Jeff.

I will try to find it but there was a comparison done between KZ2 and Gears 2 where the OP said KZ excels due to it's art direction but where Gears shows it up is how it is able to display vivid plant life. Like it was a con or something.

Thing is though I am pretty sure Killzone 2 does indeed have trees, just trees similar to that in Fallout 3. Bare, no leaves. The way trees look in a radiation filled environment, considering the fact they can't really live in conditions like that.

The single most hyped game of this generation arrives, and the first person to get their hands on it takes the time to photograph themselves holding their copy and posting said photograph to tease Americans.

Sigh.

 

starcraft got served.  Funny stuff.

This is one simple but epic thread that Dalinor and Starcraft made.

Here you go to those asking about the plant life thing.

Part of the comparison.

I don't mean to discredit Guerilla Games, but they took the easy route. Killzone 2 looks this good because it is easier to make this type of game look good. It is a game with very little organic and natural figures. I bet they have at least one in there, but for the most part, the game has no trees. The game also lacks vegetation and features very little landscape. Why is this important? Simple, organic content is very hard to make look good and takes a lot of power. Trees in particular require a lot of power to render properly. Lets take a look at these pictures: 

Note: I included links to 720P pictures. I didn't include them in here because VGChartz seems to cut them off. I also didn't resize them because resizing pictures introduces artificial AA which benefits 1 of these games more than the other.

It isn't really a hate thing on KZ2, it just stuck out like a sore thumb. Almost like saying if it had vegitation the game wouldn't have come out looking as good as it does.

The TC of that thread is a cool guy, don't hate on him.
