Killzone 2 looked great, Killzone 3 will just blow you away.

King_many_layers5575d ago

(replying just so more people can help me out with this)

does anybody else happen to find it really annoying when sites make a comparison which fails to 'compare' scenes with a similar colour/ lighting scheme ??

I just think it's pretty stupid, you don't quite get the full understanding of the differences.

DualConsoleOwner5574d ago (Edited 5574d ago )

yes. a 2 year old game still looks far better.

thats power of cell for you.

even the Crysis 2 console cant compete with 2 year old ps3 game.

this just goes to show how big the gap between PS3 and Xbox 360 is

^ Bringing console fanboyism to a comparison between two games of the same series? O.o

The power of a brain cell for you. =)

Judging by the screens, I probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the two games. I can only identify KZ3 due to the environment/snow. =x

captain-obvious5574d ago

its hard to believe that they out done KZ2
wow

gamer20105574d ago

@DualConsoleOwner

This is a comparison between Killzone 2 and Killzone 3 out of curiosity to see what improvements were made.

But I have to ask, do you really think Killzone 2 looks better in those videos you posted?

DualConsoleOwner5574d ago

Texture?? far better on KZ2.

AA?? Crysis 2 got none on console. KZ2 does and KZ3 has MLAA.

Polygons?? watch the videos. KZ2 easily takes it.

btw, this is Crysis 2 CONSOLE version.

The snow helps to highlight the improvements. That was smart of them to use that level for the demo/beta. Had they used a level with a darker ambiance, people may have written it off as equal to Killzone 2.

AAACE55575d ago

Exactly!

Stupid comparison... everyone will say Killzone 3 mainly because it's the new one and they have put more effort into it!

Ju5574d ago

Kidding me? KZ3 looks like a whole generation leap ahead of KZ2.

More going on, more effects, more of everything, new features (fluid dynamic - KZ2 doesn't have), and on top of that not a single hickup in the framerate nor tearing.

This is quite impressive.

meetajhu5575d ago

Killzone 2 looks better. After i played the killzone 3 snow demo so much jaggies everywhere i couldn't stand the quality too bad they had to compromise AA for 3d and performance. But great thing is fps is stable compared to Killzone 2. I still say Killzone 2 looks better and Killzone 3 will also be a great game.

starcrafter5575d ago

There are hardly any jaggies at all! It uses MLAA - equivalent to at least 4xMSAA, which is more than enough anti-aliasing for a 720p image. Very clean IQ, leads me to think you're just mindlessly trolling... KZ3 looks amazing - even better than KZ2!

Theonetheonly5575d ago

@STARCRAFTER

It has always been my experience that the lower the resolution you have to play at the more jaggies and the more AA you need. 720P hasnt been HD since HD came out. I need a lot of AA if i play a game at lower settings so that the jaggies dont get in the way, at a higher res i dont really notice jaggies as there is som many more pixels to describe lines that they don not appear jagged in the first place

RGB5575d ago

Killzone 2 Looks good but is static

Killzone 3 looks better and it's real time visuals!

Theonetheonly5575d ago (Edited 5575d ago )

whateva....Im talking about resolutions and aa not the coolness of kz3 or 2 I think they look good. no need to flame with the disagrees.
i havent played kz3 but I think it will be good as well.

DFresh5575d ago (Edited 5575d ago )

If you have a 1080P TV or Monitor KZ3 it will upscale.

KZ2 played at 720P/1080i.

Interlaced looks very close to 1080P not quite there and the smoothness when it comes to motion now is determined by the size of your monitor.

Like if you have a 40 inch or smaller you can't see it but once you get a 40 inch or above you really can easy every little detail out of order.

Progressive looks better and runs smoother.

I'm very sure the single player demo was the Alpha Code from E3 2010.
(Pretty sure it will be much better on the final version due to more polishing time.)

justinb15575d ago

@Reedbananaboat:
I disagreed because you said -
"720P hasnt been HD since HD came out"
Because, by definition, 720p is HD

Also you inferred that 4xMSAA isn't enough anti-aliasing for a 720p image, when it is. Although 8xMSAA would provide a reasonably noticable increase in clarity of IQ 4xMSAA is more than enough to remove the distracting aliasing - pronounced aliasing isn't visible, you have to look hard to find a slightly jagged surface.

XabiTheHumble5575d ago

You do know that the beta is only 800 megabytes right? Your not going to get the same visuals as the retail version bud...

meetajhu5575d ago

@Kenrocc_42

I have the SP demo and its final build. Disappointing gfx but gameplay kick ass as usual

NiKK_4195575d ago (Edited 5575d ago )

killzone 3 looks awesome, but i can't help but miss the art styles of 1 and 2. i loved how dark they were, killzone 3 is more colorful and cleaner, but don't get me wrong i love the way it looks especially the water, snow, and the lighting, and how the pieces of ice float on the water it looks so awesome and makes you feel cold

jammydude5575d ago

The only recent game with disappointing visuals is crysis 2 on consoles. KZ3 looks amazing and surpassed the screenshots I've seen graphically. VERY far from disappointing visually, troll

Holeran5575d ago

@meetajhu If you're concerned about KZ3 graphics try putting it on another TV, cause you are obviously playing it on a 19 inch black and white if you think the graphics aren't outstanding. And jaggies my ass, that game is as smooth as anything out there on any console.

gamer20105574d ago

I don't know what kind of anti-aliasing it is using, but meetajhu is right, the anti-aliasing was better in Killzone 2. There are a lot more jaggies in Killzone 3.

Killzone 3 without a doubt. But nice to see how the graphics have evolved.

LycanSoldier5575d ago

Without even looking at the screenshots.
Isn't the answer pretty obvious?

tacosRcool5575d ago

That I look prettier than both games?

Duh Killzone 3 looks better, its got the Uncharted 2 snow!

ct035575d ago

One game has a processing-intensive 3D mode, the other doesn't. So no, the answer is not obvious.

geodood5575d ago

We've seen videos and screenshots of KZ3 and played KZ2 and know how it looks already. It is obvious.

frostypants5575d ago

I find it interesting that you got all those disagrees for pointing out that it's not obvious, and yet below "jmmurillo86" makes the comment that he can't tell the difference and gets a bunch of agrees.

It's all in how you word your comment, I guess. This site is ridiculous sometimes.

jmmurillo865575d ago (Edited 5575d ago )

I can't tell the difference, both look mindblowing. I dare you to play KZ2 again and find how amazing it looks.

WetN00dle695575d ago (Edited 5575d ago )

Agreed, both titles look amazing!

I WANT KILLZONE 3 NAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The 22nd is still ways off.......

BubloZX5575d ago

the 22 is my Birthday!!!!!

WetN00dle695574d ago (Edited 5574d ago )

Well happy early birthday!
Hopefully they gift you KZ3!
Played the demo by the way AND HOLY FLYING WOMBATS its awesome! The reviewers that are giving this game bad scores need to find another job and/or stop drinking the bong water!

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic538d 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.

Storm23537d 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.

lockedongamer1537d ago (Edited 537d 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!

Chocoburger528d 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.

1Victor1104d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1104d ago

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

jznrpg1103d ago

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

badz1491103d 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!

Vengeance11381104d 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 Kim1104d ago

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

VersusDMC1104d 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?

Vengeance11381104d ago

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

solideagle1104d 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.

Phoenix761104d 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

thesoftware7301104d ago (Edited 1104d 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.

blacktiger1103d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1104d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1104d ago (Edited 1104d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1103d ago

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

Imalwaysright1103d ago

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

Killzone 3 is playable with mouse & keyboard on PC via RPCS3 & KAMI

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

MadLad1855d 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.

Applejack1855d 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_B1854d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1854d 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.

1854d ago
Vegamyster1854d 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.

SinkingSage1854d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1854d ago (Edited 1854d 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.

MadLad1854d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1854d 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
