the graphics look terrible on the ps3. no aa what so ever. if you play the pc demo it looks great with 4xaa. i don't understand why these developers keep lagging on graphics. if kojima can optimize the ps3's technology and pump out mgs4 with amazing graphics why can't they? very very disappointing.

Killzone 2 all the way. F.E.A.R 2's demo disappointed me and if Killzone 2 is as good as people say (and I know it is) then it's a must-have.

I wouldn't get fear 2 unless someone gave it to me for free. I wouldn't even consider it a rental. It looked like that one crappy timeshift game.

Well, think about it for a moment, from the developers' point of view. Say you're contemplating making your game exclusive to a single console. Or basically what you already have playable shows signs of being a really hot thing for the market. Microsoft will try to play up the benefits of granting them exclusivity... but in return, not only do they help in kicking some marketing budget money your way, but add in the benefit of additional coders working FOR YOU on their dime. full time pro coders, additional manpower for debugging and implementing, and you don't have to pay anything to them directly. While not often, this has even happened with some indie efforts that came to become full-on games on the XBL marketplace. Does Sony have this capability to do so? Sure. Do they exercise it? Not really. And Sony's got a rather bad reputation for supporting third-party devs when it comes to figuring out their SDK's. I'm willing to bet that Kojima gained a ton of support on Sony's dime to maximize and optimize for the ps3, but Kojima mostly wanted to be able to use the BluRay storage capacity to have as much uncompressed data as possible. And Sony knew the thing would be a system seller; they couldn't afford to lose exclusivity on MGS4 in the same sense that Microsoft can't afford to lose exclusivity holding for the Gears of War franchise (especially now that the Halo one is pretty much done). Devs greatly appreciate support and anything that makes their jobs easier. And of the two, Sony has a piss-poor track record of enabling their third party devs unless you just happened to have the design document worthy of making their board of directors simultaneously orgasm while reading it.

I always check out the reviews first before buying. K2 has already been getting good reviews (IGN) so I'll be getting that. Fear 1 was great on the PC so I'm praying that it's good this time too. I hope it comes out on the PC though since that's where I'm most comfortable with FPS.

I want both badly as I was a huge fen of FEAR but the way KZ2 is getting such awesome reviews and pretty much going to overshadow all my playing time and with my being broke I have to choose KZ2.

Its pretty much gonna be better then sliced bread.

I used to wonder what PC gamers were complaining about for console FPS games as I never had any problems with it, but then I played FEAR on my friends PC. Going back to console controls it definitely feels like there is a lack. Its the problem with having to take my thumbs off the analogs to do other things, but rumble is nice!

I'm definitely getting Killzone 2, if not as soon as it comes out (funds are pretty dry at the moment and I need money for RE5 :P). I wouldn't get F.E.A.R. 2 if you payed me. The first game was horrible/generic/boring and the demo for the sequel was horrible/generic/boring. Worst excuse for a horror game ever.

I haven't really committed to buying either, but if they look good, there's good word-of-mouth, etc, I'll probably check them out. Killzone 2 was looking pretty epic.

Ultimately, I'm not really going to be investing too much in any game until I get the time to play it... we had a wave of great games come out recently and I'm still finishing them.

After seeing what GG has pulled off with KZ2 and it's upper middle ended budget of 21 mil, I don't accept any excuses if a game comes out bad on the console any more, I also don't accept installs either.

i see your point. i admit i don't know much about sony's 3rd party support.. but i do know the hardware is capable (mgs4). as for kojima and bluray.. funny thing is mgs4 still requires a download and install. so much for bluray. i've heard killzone2 won't require a download and install.. it'll play from the bluray. hopefully so.. that'll save some hd space.ocphon
That's because the BD drive in the ps3 is such a low speed that the 12x DVD drive in the 360 (and whatever speed drive in the Wii) were still able to load stuff off the disc faster than a purely BD-only game. The installs are meant to cache the most frequently used files, so that there's more time for the less-frequently used files (like cutscenes) to load off the BluRay. Also, as far as engines and interfaces go, Microsoft's (and to a lesser extent, Nintendo's) SDK's apparently must feature a nicer resource manager interface to work with, so that programmers know what they need to look out for to know when and what files to offload or load to memory. Sony's ps3 SDK has some of the underpinnings necessary to make an effective resource manager, but it's like they didn't bother set it up to be automatic; in most cases, you have to make it yourself. So again, things made needlessly difficult because Sony either didn't (or didn't want to) put the forethought into what programmers and designers would need or want in order to make the best possible games on the ps3 platform. Just look at how long it took before a steady streaming system for continually loading data off of a disc was made possible in the PS1 SDK, and how much of a difference that since has made in enabling bigger and richer games. But it was never part of the SDK that Sony would send you if you purchased a license for it. No, it had to be made by yourself, or you had to license it from someone else. Sony only really integrated support for that in the PS2 SDK because the extreme parallelism design for the EE chip would have been worthlessly slow on a "stop, load, go" model for a game. it needed constant streaming from disc or memory to keep that chip fed with data. Devs will appreciate any effective help they can get. Sometimes that's in the form of additional manpower to reduce the distributed workload. Other times, it might be in the form of some delay time in order to polish up new features to make sure they work well. But almost anyone that's making or made a living programming could always appreciate better (written) tools and quality documentation to figure out how to exploit the resources they got. After all, when even someone like Tim Sweeney (founder and CEO of Epic Games) has gone on to say that your software has made it incredibly hard to use what's there (as was the case with basically getting UE3 to work all that well on a ps3), you know that something needs to be fixed.
