I agree with the TC, actually. The graphics are great, but the developers use a lot of filters to make the graphics look better than they are. I still think Uncharted is the best looking game on PS3.

The graphics engine that they used was average, but the filters and special effects were amazing. I mean just look at the blood and weapons, they are freakin amazing.

yeah i agree but filters are only a part of the whole game textures for the most part are low the guns look amazing everything else not so much character models and immediate enviornment don't. pretty much everything you lean against are low rez models with low rez textures. the backgrounds full of details but you don't see much of it. the fire and explosion effects are just bad. its a great looking game but its uneven, also its got this weird sheen to it. ontop of all that good graphics at least for me also include a good overal design. killzone 2 art direction was bland and unoriginal. that why i would say on the ps3 the best looking game would either be mgs4 or little big planet. for that reason i agree with the tc, but as someone else said to each there own, we all have different opinions of what constitutes good graphics.

Killzone 2 has the best graphics ever. It's the colors that bother me. They fit the style, and they look cool, but imagine Killzone 2's technology used to create environments like Uncharted.

hehe that made me LOL "right from the sega genesis". thats a long time then :P but seriously i think the graphics are amazing, they look so smooth, no matter how they were made they are sexy. better than uncharted for sure, and resident evil is a bit worse than k2. but they are different, dark compared to light and colourful.

The reason I think it's the best looking game (graphically superior or not) is because it looks more realistic than anything else. Seriously, aside from the ugly faces, there's no other game that has made me feel as much a part of something as this one has. Even with the less-than-great story, I was seriously sucked in by the look of it alone. The atmosphere and environments are so dense. Its spooky, really. And to the person who said the art design is unoriginal: Name one other game that looks ANYTHING close to this at all. There's nothing out there like KZ2. Period. Guerilla said made a huge claim at E3 all those years ago, and they have more than delivered as promised. Graphics overrated? NOT AT ALL!!!! You wanna see something overrated go play Fable 2.

Comparing Killzone 2 and Uncharted graphically is difficult, 2 very different artistic styles. Both can be run in 1080p. Killzone 2 is gritty and dirty while Uncharted is bright and colorful.

U need an eye exam slippy.. The graphics are definietly NOT overrated. The visuals are insane on KZ2, the only one close on your list is MSG4, which is probably the greatest overall game made period. However, Killzone beats these games in a visual sense, I hope you are playing on a large LCD screen to take advantage of KZ2, and the PS3. I have never played a game that will make me sweat and ammusemy nerves and eyes in a good way like Killzone 2, especially multiplayer..

Whatever you're smoking I want some! LoL

Quick question? what are you playing Killzone 2 on? I ask that because I feel you really can not appreciate the graphic if you're not playin on an 1080 HDTV with an HDMI connection. In the event you have the HDTV w/ HDMI connection and your PS3 output on 480-1080, then you Really need your eyes check. KZ2 is the Best Looking game Ever made to date (Regarding Graphics)

Artistically, I can understand your comments. After all, art style preference is very subjective. Technically, however, Killzone 2 looks amazing. That isn't disputable.

The only thing I take issue with is people saying the game is the best looking game ever because it's not, at least in technical terms.

Best graphics on a console? I can see the argument for that.

Best graphics ever? Nope, sorry.

KZ2 IMO has great graphics. Alot better than most games but once you look closer into the graphics you can see blurred textures and hexagonal shaped oil drums. I think the graphics only look fantastic because of the amount of sophisticated lighting used.

Re5 and Uncharted, no way, don't get me wrong those are both beautiful games but KZ2 takes the cake. MGS4, very possible.

KZ2 and MGS4 are probably the most graphical games on the ps3 atm.

Killzone 2 had fantastic artistic touches/filters that dont make its graphical achievements any less special

it was cool that they were able to use simple techniques to make the visuals that much more amazing, in a technical sense they were very good, but the artistic touches took it to the next level

MGS4 also has amazing visuals, and I think people get distracted by Uncharted's pretty scenery not to say that the visuals arent amazing but the advancements made on the PS3 over the 2 years since it came out made better looking games.

All the games you listed look great but KZ2 wins hands down. And the textures you talk about aren't normally bad textures in KZ2, they are out of focus ordepth of field visiontextures ie: like going behind cover also they are normally smooth textures like real world materials and not imagination made up coil reeftextures.

I would have to say even putting mgs4 in 2nd behind KZ2 but yet mgs4 has alot worse muddy and blurry textures than KZ2. So you can't really complain about textures in KZ2 and mention mgs4 as looking better than KZ2 if that is your primary criteria.

Bottom line is that KZ2 does everything great, from textures, particle effects, animations, atmoshpheric conditions, special effects ie: smoke blowing in wind, debris from damage or explosions, blood that actually puddles up, motion blur, depth of field. KZ2 literally puts you in the enviroment and in the world. While the other games mentioned only does 1-3 things good but they are not the total package.

i thought the same thing until i went back to play other games and i thought wow! kz2 really does have great graphics. nothing is beating it right now. and for anyone complaining about the color there are millions of em what more do you want? uncharted aint even close , mgs4 is overrated, and although re5 is nice but does not win the battle. only complaint its that some of the characters models on the isa team are a little basic compared to the rest of the game. ( and i been playin games since atari),

hey lol i dont need my eyes to be tested i have played more games than u will ever play right from sega genesis to ps3.

but really i find the graphics of tomb raider underworld, re5,mgs4, uncharted more realistic and artistic than killzone 2.

Crysis is better than all of those games combined.... there is none higher than Crysis right now.

But out of the games you picked, I think Killzone 2 has the most realistic graphics... that's not to say the best, or my favourite, but definitely the most convincing overall to make me think "I'm there"....

Killzone 2's strength lies in it's AI anyway for me, not necessarily it's graphics. The fearsome AI of that game made me respect the developers in a way I never thought possible.

I have been playing since Atari and DOS games...so...yea. And I honestly think Killzone 2 has the greatest graphics of any game to date. I have Crysis on PC and play 1440x900 2xAA with all settings on VERY HIGH. I think the games look very different, but I think K2 still comes out on top. There is a completely unbiased answer. Crysis looks better in some areas, such as trees and such, but that is just because the environments are so different. They are both such beautiful games, but K2's animations and characters just look so damn fluid and real. K2 feels like less of a videogame, more realistic.

Yes, but you're comparing a PC game to a console game. There's a huge difference in hardware/capabilities.

Huge difference or not he's still wrong. I play Crysis maxed out at the highest resolution (I have an HD 4870 x2-2GB ) and Cryisis is definately eating dust on this one. Firstly, Crysis looks pretty generic as far as set pieces go. Jungle is jungle is jungle. Even towards the end when you're in the alien mines there's not much going on that I haven't seen before. Where Crysis really excells is texture. The water is amazing and looks SO real. The rock and tree jobs are phenominal. However, as a whole package its not the greatest. KZ2 has better lighting and shading effects; a better atmospheric effect. And though it has some low-res textures it provides so much else that you don't really miss textures at all. Let's be realistic for a moment: Real life is not in HD. Lots of games define things (like crysis) define things to an imaginary level. You may look at the sandy beech closely and see every individual grain of sand, but not from 6 feet away and not when the sun's hitting it directly. HD makes stuff HD with complete disregard for lighting and focus. That's the one thing I think KZ2 has taken into consideration to make for a more realistic looking game. Think about it.

Yes Killzone 2 graphics is overrated because I'm not into realistic graphics. I prefer cell-shaded and the graphics of White Knight Chronicles. MGS4 is my limit on how realistic graphics should be. Better than MGS4 would be too much IMO.

MGS4 and RE5 arguablyhave better character models, but their environments arent anywhere near as good as kz2. Uncharted has an amazing artstyle, but kz2 has the better technical graphics

Like someone already said: To each his own.

I think the graphics are pretty amazing but yeah, it uses an awful lot of filters. It's the lighting, shadow and filter effects that make the game so good looking. Without those I think the game would look a lot more standard... or maybe even mediocre, considering some textures are noticibly bad... but who cares anyway! The game rocks!

I agree 100%, Crysis looks beautiful, but KZ2 just sucks you into it as far as being realistic looking and true to life feel. Wish people would look around sometime and look and see just how many textures actually stand out like a coil reef, safe to say none lol. Ooops unless you have a salt water aquarium and have a coil reef in there lol. And love the damage and particle effects in KZ2, can't get enough of those particles bouncing off of the floor and debris :)

Um, I don't know what you're trying to prove with this picture, but that looks pretty "meh" to me. Gears of War looks better than that. People keep mentioning KZ2 has low resoultion textures. WTF. Look at this picture. THAT is low resolution quality, my friend.I hope that's just a bad picture or something. Do your team a favor andstop playing.

Nothing is Crysis-great... but that is pretty much a whole nother universe.
