Killzone 3 versus Killzone PSP2: Screenshot Comparison

GB: "Its not been too long since the PSP2/NGP was announced and it’s graphics are already rivaling the likes of flag ship PS3 games like Uncharted. Among the plethora of games announced, Killzone will also be launching on Sony’s latest handheld hardware.
So how does this latest installment compare with the upcoming Killzone 3 for the PlayStation 3. For this purpose we have compared the screens from both the games.
Obviously the Killzone PSP2/NGP image we have might not be representation of the final product, but it’s already looking pretty close to it’s console counterpart."

This seems more like a spot the difference than a screenshot comparison :p

Can't believe how good the graphics are on the NGP

Bits-N-Kibbles5568d ago

not too good of a comparison, but the graphics are stunning for portable game.

PLASTICA-MAN5568d ago (Edited 5568d ago )

Killzone NGP is not even in "pre-pre-pre-alpha stage", it is still in "test stage" on a still unfinished console.
Comparing a fully optimized PS3 game with a game still in concept stage is just unfair and despite that the 2 games are comparable. Prepare yourself to see more detailed and filled environments and PS3 level NGP Killzone in E3.

DoomeDx5568d ago

^ Its for fun, there is not supposed to be a winner genius.

hiredhelp5568d ago

graphicly massive leap from psp. great but dont expect a handheld ps3 chaps. but do expect somert nearly as close.

BattleAxe5567d ago

Don't give these idiots any hits. their articles are low quality. They just look for cheap hits.

TheLastGuardian5567d ago (Edited 5567d ago )

Killzone on NGP looks great for a handheld game but it has the same grey color pallete that I disliked in KZ2. Hopefully they'll add more color. Is GG developing this?

the_best_player5567d ago

@TheLastGuardian
grey color was only in 2007 version not 2009 final version

BISHOP-BRASIL5568d ago

Nah, I can easily spot differeces like poly count (look at those odd feeted helghast on NGP version LOL) but that's not to say it's really impressive for a handheld.

I hardly believe NGP will have PS3 graphics (it would cost a lot and need to much energy to pull off) but I believe they will perform just as great considering the size of the screen.

Anyway, still waiting on some final word on phone call capabilities for this thing.

Hanif-8765567d ago (Edited 5567d ago )

The NGP doesn't need to render stuff at HD resolutions. Therefore, it doesn't need to be as powerful as the PS3 to look the same. Also its a truly powerful handheld but i don't need to list specs for you, just know that it might even ship with 1 GB ram comparable to the PS3 and XBox360 512mb and it has a 2ghz quad core CPU and also quad core GPU this thing is a beast dude :-)

ABizzel15567d ago

It supposedly has 1GB of RAM in the dev kits, and Sony's trying to decide on 1GB or 512MB.

BISHOP-BRASIL5567d ago

Yeah, my bad. Type probably make most of you guys confused. It was supposed to be "not to say it ISN'T impressive for a handheld".

I'm hyped for this too, I just want to know about phone call capabilities to close the deal and pre order it now (if it lacks this capabilities I'll wait for the final specs and price before deciding).

And yes, I'm aware of the 1GB RAM matter, but I was talking about poly count, not resolution. For that little screen, 960x544 is way more than enough rez, plus it's OLED and should not suffer the original PSP (1000) screen problems with ambient lighting.

But even with such RAM and resolution maybe enough to beat PS3, I still don't think they'll pull off PS3 level of graphical quality just yet, it may come close later on it's life, but something to put out Uncharted or Killzone actual graphic level would cost us an arm and probably wouldn't be portable friendly, needing too much energy.

superadvanced5568d ago

it looks like they still need to add the surface shaders in the ngp version. thats the main difference imo.

pain777pas5567d ago

If the graphics are close can we say WTF though? The handheld has some serious power never seen before on a handheld might I add. Wow!

gamer20105567d ago

NGP is going to be such an amazing little device.

DigitalAnalog5567d ago

The NGP can rival PS3's graphical capabilities.. only in a smaller resolution. With that being said, I think it's only fair the author should lower the res on the PS3 version to 480P to "even" out the odds.

Thank you Captain Obvious....

awiseman5568d ago

that term "stunning" is becoming seriousely overused.

And of course the ps3 version looks better dont make me lol.

DoomeDx5568d ago

Its not supposed to be a competition idiot.
its made for FUN! just to see how big of a diffrence there is.

Darkfiber5568d ago

Graphics don't really mean anything in the handheld market. Sure, they help with hype, but PSP games have traditionally been lackluster as compared to their console counterparts. Graphics don't make a good game. They will need to deliver in terms of gameplay, depth, level design and story if they want to actually make a good game, something that most console series spinoffs have yet to accomplish.

remanutd555568d ago (Edited 5568d ago )

very true but you forgot a big detail about your comment and why they havent really deliver in terms of all that SPECIALLY in the FPS genre ( GAMEPLAY MECHANICS ) , thats about to change with NGP , games like Metal Gear and God of War have been superb on the little system now its time to take it to the next level , NGP can do it if sony does it right , it has all the tools we wanted on a handheld console now its time for sony and third party to deliver , i really loved all three live stage demos and the different ways you can play those games , havent seen a FPS game yet but if they had activison talking about Call of Duty on stage its because a proper Call of Duty game is coming to NGP , i dont see otherwise

Ju5568d ago

Well, CoD. LOL. Should be easy for Activision. Won't degrade any quality at all, me thinks.

LarVanian5568d ago (Edited 5568d ago )

Killzone: Liberation, Resistance: Retribution, Crisis Core, Kingdom Hearts: BBS and both the Syphon Filter games on PSP had great stories as well as graphics. R & C: Size Matters and Daxter also had good stories and were terrific looking games. MGS: Portable Ops and Peace Walker were also great in the story department.
And lets not forget about God Of War: Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta which are in my opinion the two most technically impressive and best looking PSP titles, they both had great stories.
Darkfiber I have a strong feeling that you missed out on lots of great PSP titles.....or that your standards are way too high.

Ju5568d ago

Some of those games would really shine on the NGP. Syphon Filter, whoa. Or Liberation, Retribution. All of them just pushed the visuals as far as they could. Yet they would be so much better on a high def device. And they were (are) all great games.

Dr-Zoidberg5567d ago

Going to need more original franchises this time, got fed up of the lack of new franchises with PSP.

Darkfiber5567d ago

All of those games you listed, unfortunately, did not hold a candle to their console counterparts. They were good for handheld games, sure, but my point is that they would never REPLACE console games, which is what this article is insinuating.

Pedantic915568d ago (Edited 5568d ago )

Is a lot more interesting than the actual graphics of it.

trancefreak5568d ago

very true I don't think anyone expects full fledged ps3 in a hand held but this looks pretty dam good and we will have to wait until we see the final results.

I'm sure most that was seen was rushed to show the ngp capabilities for its demonstration.

There's too many games to choose from

No Metal geat solid 1,2,3,4?
No Resident evil?
No Silent hill?
No Midnight club 3?
No NfS Underground 2?
No Final Fantasy?
No Burnout 3?
No Dragon quest 8?
No Days gone?
No Ace combat?
No Tekken/Soul calibur?......
just from the top of my head

PS1 era was full of great RPGs, PS2 was racing generation i would pick top 200 and even that would be just a fraction.

FinalFantasyFanatic526d ago

30 is way too low over the entire history of Playstation, I just wouldn't be able to narrow it down that much, I would pick 100 at least.

Storm23526d ago

Yeah...really odd list. I get that it is personal preference and I love most of the games listed, but my list would definitely be different. I agree though, it would be incredibly difficult to come up with just 30.

lockedongamer1526d ago (Edited 526d ago )

I only picked first-party titles. Otherwise, I agree!

EDIT: Except for Days Gone, I don't get the love for it but you do you!

Chocoburger517d ago

I didn't like Days Gone either, it doesn't deserve to be on any best of list.

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor1093d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1093d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg1092d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz1491092d ago

I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.

man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!

Vengeance11381093d ago

32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III

Shane Kim1093d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC1093d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

Vengeance11381092d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle1092d ago

lol you are comparing:

HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)

HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)

We will see if it surpass original number.

Phoenix761092d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware7301093d ago (Edited 1093d ago )

Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.

I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.

blacktiger1092d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1093d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy1093d ago (Edited 1093d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1092d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright1092d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.

Still looks secure 2 gens later... one of my favorite ps3 moments. With 3D and move the game is on another level

MadLad1843d ago

PC almost always ends up the best place to play games, even if it takes a while.

What would you rather play decades down the line? A game at a fixed resolution and frame, considering you have a working disc, and the hardware?
Or run it on an emulator that can update the experience all around, and let you use whatever control input you prefer?

If you insist on the former, it's really only for the sake of nostalgia.

Applejack1843d ago

I disagree. The main draw for consoles has always be the simplicity of just putting the disc in / downloading it and playing without worrying about anything else. The average person just wouldn’t want to deal with emulation even though it’s very important for preservation.

Terry_B1843d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1843d ago

Youre getting flak because people on here thibk of themselves as pc wizards. But honestly most poeple try and go get emulators and romz they end up with malware.. yes theyre "easy" if you know the basics but alot of people dont. That said the fact that its taken nearly 20 years to get a sustantially better experience for ps3 games than on its native system shows the complexity of getting bc to work. Sony, if they have any intention, should just invest in a vastly better psnow experience.

1843d ago
Vegamyster1843d ago

jukins

Most people who emulate don't get malware, you'd have to be going to some weird sites for that to happen, heck years ago people were getting sketchier ad's resulting in malware warning on this site if you didn't have a ad-blocker lol.

SinkingSage1843d ago

Can't get malware if you legally dump your own games, which you should.

Rachel_Alucard1843d ago (Edited 1843d ago )

That's fine if that's the main draw, but it doesn't make it a better experience, just a preference. Having the freedom to do the things you can do on PC is what the appeal of PC is. Buying a game on PC means you never have to worry about the console makers just deciding the next hardware shouldn't support the generation anymore, which means everything you bought is stuck on that hardware instead of moving up with everything else. Nintendo uses this tactic to keep reselling the same games over and over at inflated prices. Sony cut all previous gens off the PS4 and sold it back to people in a poor attempt with PSnow. While the PS5 supports PS4 games, that may not be the case in the next gen after this. No to mention shutting off all the previous stores and updates completely. Even MS stopped making new BC titles at some point, so now there's a big list with 17 pages of titles that are not playable on Xbone and are just trapped on older gen. That's not a problem on PC, the reverse happens where you only have to worry if your hardware can play the newest releases at ultra with no issue.

MadLad1843d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1843d ago

Well that's the beauty of still owning a retro console tho. Those who usually complain about emulation are just being blindly loyal to a company. Emulation is great for many reason, but if I still owned the console then I disagree nothing beats plugging it back in and going down a nostalgia trip
