The development cost in kz2 was used to create the best engine possible for the 1st party developers in SCEI.

And, even if it was dissapointing in sales, that might be for you, because killzone never was a big seller, let alone console seller, it's doing great by now.

Also, gameplay wise, it's awesome, it's really realistic, the recoil it's almost lifelike, the atmosphere actually affects the gameplay. If it's not like MW2 that doesn't mean is bad at all...

PD: i'll say it again, this game (brink) is not at the same level as killzone 2...yet, we've to see if a year of development can get the graphics closer.

Thats now even close but the water looks good but besides that it is all less than killzone.

More appealing to the eye than kz2 yes, but not better technology.

The start of the map looks alot like Corinth Crossing



the body movement (which i like alot) looks also the same.

but its not really good looking, infact the models look ugly. but i think thats their style, the voices are annoying too.

Particle effects? My favorite part of KZ2. Throwing a grenade, or shooting bullets into the ground and watching the dust cloud build up is still amazing, all while it mixes with the lighting. Or the columns/walls crumbling even in multiplayer is simply amazing.

whats wrong with KZ2 voices?

Helghan sounds awesome. your teammates react to whats happening (except rico , he just "Do this Mutha fucka!" and "Lets get this shit DONE!" )

Hahaha your a funny one.

On a serious note, killzone 2 looks better.  Then again they are different art styles, but i think it actually looks kinda cheap in comparison. Calling me a ps3 fanboy would be kinda retarded btw.

Anywho, i deffo prefer Gears 2 to Brinks look. I like gears's art style, i also think it looks very well done.

Anywho who cares, consoles will get crysis 2 before long which will rape anything else on any of the consoles. (Including Uncharted 2 btw :P) Even if it is watered down from the superior pc.

I saw it in motion at Eurogamer Expo.
Looked very impressive, although the best feature was the character customisation.

Graphics as good as KZ2? No.

Close to KZ2, yes.

Although the physics on the game are REALLY good, it looked like playing a good version of Mirror's Edge. Plus, it is VERY multiplayer focused.

i know you hate "fanbois" and think KZ2 gameplay suck even though you haven't played it, but i'll be honest i think KZ2 is a bit underrated among gamers. it gets all the "it has good graphics but crap everything else" which i honestly don't understand at all, since i don't really care about graphics and i liked that game because its addicting, heck i can play PS1 games still because Gameplay >>>>> graphics anytime, since a couple of years later we will forget how good looking games are now and will remember how GOOD the gameplay was.

KZ2 Gameplay is it's crown jewel not its graphics.

(this is coming from a person who HATES Fps's because they focus on graphics rather than gameplay and character depth)

I find it embarrassing how much this site likes to whore about graphics. What did you guys do during the SNES/Genesis generation I wonder? And let's face it, even if it did look better than Killzone 2, a certain group of people wouldn't admit it, and likewise, even if it didn't, a certain group of people would say that it did. These threads accomplish absolutely nothing other than flame wars, and apparently I am the only one who's figured this out by now.
