In fact looks many years behind most 360 and PS3 games that use real nex gen engines
Gears 2 and Assassins Creed 2 for example look generations ahead, like 5 generations ahead or more
So, why not compare ? The game is one of the worst looking i have seen this generation easilly, only art saves it, the engine seems 100x worst than most real next gen looking games, and especically Mass Effect
It is really funny that Mass Effect from the same company ...
Let's hope so
BTW they COULD use 5 yo hardware again, bringing Wii 2 again far behind PS3 and 360, so let's see
But not a real RPG in any way sadly, it is all about the bosses and action as it seems
Of course i have a 60GB PS3, with BC and the real initial performance, so it is all good for me
I can't say the same for new buyers though
Its last hope not to become extinct is now gone
So, i could not care less for the lack of jap voices tbh
The charatcer models blow away anything i have seen in the kiddy flat charatcers of Uncharted 2 easilly, the lighting/shading is far ahead too
Another exclusive 360 title to show the superiority of its hardware
Also check Two Worlds Temptation, Venetica, Divinity 2, Risen etc, all cool WPRGs coming to 360
And of course Fable 3, that will have you control a kingdom
I feel like PS3 has zero RPG support
And that is easilly
Like the Killzone 2 lies, which game turned out to look like a low resolution, flat and boring version of Gears 2, which makes full use of detailed textures and shaders and big scale, unlike Killzone 2 with te flat low resolution textures and tiny places
They would be crazy not to triple their sales and gamer base, it is only obvious
I bet will have a host lost better visuals than thoe DX8 ones on PC as well, with real DX9 effects and shaders, since they will not have to think about those Pentium 1-2 and geforce 3 cards on consoles
Alan Wake and Assassins Creed 2 look 100x bigger and better and more dynamic than Uncharted 2
So, what are you talking about ?
And of course would look better than KZ2 on 360, 360 can do Alan Wake that is 1000x more taxing than Killzone 2 tiny empty levels and static lighting
So, fact is fact, KZ2 is not even close to Gears 2 visuals, in fact it does not touch Gears 1 in level detail, textures, shaders even
As for the "consensus among the gaming community", that is just hype, has nothing to do with reality
KZ2 hs the best hype for its graphics, that is all
They were a 7/10 in my book
I wonder now that has only 3 big exclusives remaining, how far behind will be left in 2009
I bet the 8.000.000 gap in sales from 360 will go to 10.000.000 or more
Infamous sales were mediocre too
I mean, why not release it for Japanese 360 gamers too ? That would seem like a bad joke actually
As for this be an accident, well, that is one in a mllion chance as things are now
They are making the basis for Natal use in games like Fable 3 and fingers crossed a possible KI3 or next gen Conker/Kameo
And of course they could outsource the results to other developers too later
I expect full use of Natal on next xbox too, the solution is totally all around one, and the only one that could really take off
What is the point ?
It is like comparing pac-man visuals on PC and PS3
