I also think that they are most overated games ever when it comes to graphics..And Killzone 2 looks better.

Um.... how so?

Well I cleary see them at top on gaming graphics, but the amazing hype behind their graphics made me expect so much more.

It's almost like there needs to be 2 visuals awards: technical merit (give the nominees the "lens of truth" treatment for things like frame rate consistency, screen tears, pop ins, lighting etc etc, you know some objective analysis, though it needs to be on the highest output performance settings possible to show case the best a game can offer); and then aesthetic quality.

By the looks of this thread 6/10 people would give the technical merit award to KZ2, and 6/10 people would give the aesthetic quality award to UC2. IMHO if you were to give an overall award by combining technical merit and aesthetic quality the weighting should go in favour of aesthetic quality. In the end the aim of the game is entertainment, and if people are more entertained by the visuals of a game that is slightly less impressive technically then the finer points of the technical elements are of less importance.

obviously with R&C leo-j is looking at graphics from an aesthetic point of view. And aesthetically R&C (I've only really seen Tools of Destruction) is very satisfying/entertaining. But it is lower on the technical merit score.

ok who said alan wake looks better than Elena out of uncharted 2, you must be blind, even I can see clearly that uncharted 2 has a lot over alan wake, plus them scenery visuals are nowhere as stunning as uncharted 2, try again haters.
why are we even comparing killzone 2 to uncharted 2, they are using different art styles, killzone 2 is dark and gritty (yet realistic) and is meant to make you feel like you are fighting in a real war, where as uncharted 2 is full of colours and is meant to immerse you in the beauty of the whole game.



it's the future of handheld

They are joint Kings. They are both fantastic visually. Environments, colors, textures go to Uncharted 2. The real joy in Killzone 2 is the way it impresses visually when you take it into action. Particle effects and the lighting is probably not going to be surpassed in quite a while.


alan wake has better lighting than killzone 2.

I love how you are saying that, without actually playing either.


alan wake simply has best lighting in consoles to date. i haven't played killzone 2 but i am gonna play it in jan. go watch some alan wake gameplay vids in HD and watch some killzone 2 vids in HD.

Edit: also use of simple logic no game stays on top graphically for a long time. by the time alan wake is releaserd its gonna be a year or more after killzone so what do you expect.

Why does everyone keep exclaiming Alan Wake's superiority? Alan Wake's face is like half the amount of polygons as Nathan Drake's face, you can easily SEE the polygons in his jacket, they're more noticeable than in MGS4 (which is quite noticeable). I think everyone is swooned over by the darkness and the lighting, which isn't all that spectacular.

 

 

 

NOT EVEN CLOSE

that was a bad choice.... lol.  alan wake looks better to me there....  but Uncharted 2 is better than Alan Wake from everything I have seen, no question.

I suggest you re-look at both these pictures. Clearly, Elena has the edge over Alan. No doubt in my mind.

Ummm...yeah I don't think so.  How could you possibly know that alan wake has better lighting?  Pictures?  How does that prove anything?  Have you played Killzone 2? 

The beauty in the lighting in Killzone 2, is walking around and seeing a room from different angles.  It is like having an actual sun in game.  From one position you can have a glare that effects your vision, and from another the sun can be completely blocked allowing shadows to be cast on the room. 

You can see each tiny piece of dust floating in the air, as it passes through the sun's rays in the opening of a hole in the roof.  And this is GAMEPLAY, not pictures. 

Don't you dare say Alan Wake can compete with this Juggernaut, without having any proof.

I agree that Kz2's graphics are better, barely though. KZ2's graphics are not as colorful, but they are much more terrifying in terms of effects and grittiness.



This will only take a moment of your time. *steals your watch*

Your sig reminds me of how much i enjoyed KZ2, think im gonna have to play it for the first time in months again

They are both great looking games, I'd say both look better than MGS4..But I'd give the edge to UC2.

Neither one of em hold a candle to Game party though.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.
