Hmmmmm. I've seen video's and screens that look far better than this. I'd side with the PC guy here; it's not that impressive judging my those screenshots :Soddballrulez

That's because they're not bullshots I guess.

I think it looks great but low res (obviously).

I think it looks awesome for artstyle alone. That's one unique, gritty and dilapidated world which will be great to kill in. I especially like the last shot with the ISA trooper. It reminds me of the future world in the first two Terminator films.

Looks exactly the same as Killzone 2. Don't get me wrong, Killzone 2 looks very good for a console game but this doesn't really look like much of an improvement.

Not great, but they seem like some random shots. For publicity developers choose the best looking ones (or even bullshots). The game cannot look much better than KZ2, because it's running on the same hardware. But the people who complain that they are brown have to realize that this is the art style of KZ. I personally thought KZ2 looked impressive, and I have also played the hermit holy games Crysis and Metro :)

Devs allways find better ways to use the same old hardware. Just look at Gears3 compared to Gears1 and 2, Reach compared to Halo3 or Uncharted2 compared to the first one.

Looks really good, though the grain filter is annoying. It would be cool if they put some kind of adpatative grain filter while you are in the dark for purposes of realism, for bright areas just makes it ugly.

Those pics look horrible though, even for a 5 year old piece of hardware.

It'll look better in motion, no doubt, and every game has its locations were it looks bad.

Either way, i don't really care that much, i don't buy games to look at them.

Razor sharp textures? Those shots look like Fallout 3 on the PC at medium settings... not so awesome.

I've played unenhanced console ports before, those screens just aren't appealing to me. Just because I don't like those; doesn't mean I don't like all console level games.

Since people are so negative towards those images, I'll just commend TC for not using bullshots.

Even though that makes console games look dastardly we can at least see why proper 1920*1080 is better than 720p we get on consoles unlike all the usual promo bullshot (omg pun) we get *cough* Gears 3 *cough*.

Those must be either bad screens or somehow the beta looks worse than the alpha. And sure it's pretty much just using the brown palette. But it's just one map.

Likewise, it doesn't look any better than MW2 and that was hardly the best looking game.

Chill, no need for that sort of talk.

There are PS3/KZ fans in this thread saying they aren't very good shots.

:) this is exactly what I was going to say....too much grain. Plus I'm not concerned with whether it's gonna look better than KZ2 or any other game for that matter. It's all about Gameplay!

OT Have we actually seen GeoW3's visuals yet? Someone please give me a link, didn't know that I were behind. :(

Well I'm a PC gamer so I'm judging the visuals by that standard. If you guys want an impartial opinion, from what I've seen so far Killzone 3 looks much better than Gears of War 3.

Right... Which is why I praise Uncharted 2 graphics to the heavens.... But honestly Killzone never looked good to me. It's like the art style highlights the technical shortcomings.

Is there a problem with those screens or is the game really like that all grainy and stuff?

The artsyle looks meh, and the same crappy textures ruining everything just like the previous one. I hope it's just crappy cherry picked screens.

Consoles graphics have come a long way since KZ2, and KZ3 just doesn't look as impressive as KZ2 was at the time. Looks good, nothing to drool over.

After seeing this: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-killzone-3-tech-analysis

You are right, but it's still pretty blurry, see Batman: Arkham Asylum, Assassin's Creed 2, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and Uncharted 2 for great graphics on consoles that don't overuse anything to look great.

Agreed.

I think the game is inaccurately portrayed in these pics, but I do agree that PC FPS's (and any other genre) look quite a bit better, but what are you going to do :P. Man I want to play some Crysis or Half Life right now for some reason lol.

I'm not getting this excessive use your talking about, but anyway I guess it's different strokes, because for one i'm fine with a little motion blur like what KZ3 and Reach uses, and 2 these games look great even when motion blur isn't in effect a.k.a when not moving.
