Forums - Sony - Killzone 2 Graphics are insane(my quick impressions)

So i finally got my killzone 2 copy today and i have played 3 levels of the single player.

 

This game is fukin  gorgeous ,better than i expected.As the game progresses, each level gets better looking for some reason.

 

One thing I noticed was that dark environment in killzone 2 looks phenomenal. it has so many light sources in a dark room and that it gives it a very warm feeling with an unbelievable atmospheric feel.

 

I kinda wish that 2K would use this engine for bioshock since bioshock heavily relies on dark environment to capture the feel.

 

onto the game play:

 

the controls take abit of getting used to casue it's not like any FPS you ahve played before.after getting use to the controls,the game is really fun and satisfying(in SP,,,haven't played MP yet)

 

cover is really handy and easy to get use to.

 

 

overall i m loving the game.the levels in SP keep getting better.if it continues all the way to the end then it's by far the fps on PS3(but that judgment is saved for now since i ahve only played 3 levels from 10 levels)

 

 

back on topic:

 

So do you guys agree about the graphics in dark environments?do you also think that bioshock would greatly benefit from this engine?

I was actually startled by my shadow once, LOL
Great graphics, awesomely fun game.

Only on PLAYSTATION3



I Agree. I think the Environments in bioshock will benefit greatly off the killzone engine,because just look at killzone 2.



Talking about the controls that's one thing I liked about killzone two, controlling the character actually feels like you're controlling a person, unlike say call of duty where you move around and you feel like you're moving one point that's fixed in air you can feel your body move as you move, when you jump the character first bends his knees instead of just boosting upwards without any momentum, again unlike call of duty which is the exact opposite.




Got the game today and the acal animation and cut sceen are great but the actual gameplay I wasn't blown away like some of you all saying.

Don't get me wrong it is great, lighting, sounds, it is like being in a warzone but it is no E3 2005 for sure.

Agree with ya. Good game! Awesome game!



@Spartan: believe me or not, but levels at the end of the game are even more beautifull ^^



I am actually wow'd by Killzone 2's graphics (playing it in 1080i). The character models are the best i've ever seen, hands down sets the new bar in graphics, and im not even going to specify on a console. Until I see a game that looks as good as Killzone 2 with its graphics, physics, and everything and plays as good as it does this is the new bar, PERIOD. I feel like with the 1.11 patch they came out with they optimized the online a little bit. It plays like a DREAM now, feels like a little less latency then before the patch. This game is amazing.

What was that patch officially for?




interesting, graphics were actually pretty disapointing to me.  Don't get me wrong, it's a good looking game, but it's not a huge jump from othe games, and to be honest, I still think games that have a more organic feel look a lot better (i.e. Uncharted).  Probably due to the art style more than anything though, but I wasn't impressed, especially with the facial animations.
