Halo 3 = Halo 2 in HD with HDR lighting.

No it doesn't:

(NOTICE THE LIGHTING HERE....The light is coming from the Battle Rifle from a marine behind the player)

Halo 3 = Halo 2 with HDR lighting? I don't care, Halo 2 looked pretty damn good so even if Halo 3 is Halo 2 with lighting (I don't believe so) I'd still have fun with it. The textures are clearly better anyhow.

On the topic about killzone's color: I think that dark, grey, gritty look was intended. It gives the game a more brutal feel. It makes sense for Halo 3 to be more colorful because the weapons don't really represent brutallity and gore (plasma pistols and stuch) but in KZ2, everyone weapon uses some sort of bullet, so blood is always going to be present. If u saw blood rain and a rainbow of colors wouldn't you feel a bit out of place?

Bugnie decided to use the same engine so they can mainly focus their development time on gameplay. Why they didn't just liscensed other game engines like Unreal is beyond me.

The graphics may not be best looking out there, but it is not that bad neither.

Have you seen the textures in killzone :| they are so low res, but watch the halo videos and the textures are high res

If you bothered to stay properly informed...K2's textures are STILL being worked on, the game is still far off...Suck it up. Halo 3 is around the corner.

Both games looks great in there own way, Halo 3 is more than just Halo 2 HD...you will soon see once you play it on your nice HDTV...we have yet to see proper HD gameplay footage, besides off cam stuff.

[QUOTE="mtradr43"]sorry halo 3 uses colors instead of the 2 color killzone you obviously love. look at the new footage, halo 3 looks fantastic.catlin_czirr

don't you mean Killzone1.5? All that Killzone1.5 is is Killzone in HD with better lighting.

False. It has a whole new engine built from the ground up like bungie do with all of their games. >_>

LOL halo 3 looks like some small kiddy game IMO. "ooooh, look at the preeeetty colours!" Killzone looks realistic, and it's graphics far surpass those of Halo 3.

Yet you have ratchet and clank as one of your avatars and spyro the dragon as another. :|

Halo is a AAA title and part of the biggest and best selling games in the industry.

Killzone is just another bad joke like the Ps3 itself.

Halo 3 does not impress, but its a little extreme to say it looks just like HAlo 2 in HD. The graphics are next gen, it looks like a launch 360 title though. Definately not up to Killzone 2s calibur, its silly for anyone to even compare i mean KZ2 still has months to go in develop to prevent the innevitable upcomping floppage.Adrian_Cloud

And yet., it has better textures than flopzone 2.

just like the first one eh chief?

Atleast thats how it looks to me, why didnt they use the Unreal Engine 3 or something? It doesnt have the "wow" factor that many other games coming out has.catlin_czirr

You have got to be kidding me? What is wrong with some folks? I broke out Halo and Halo 2 to get ready for Halo 3. The differences are huge. Get off your butt and stop looking at stills and vids on the net. Play these games now (don't rely on memory). Halo 3 is leaps and bounds above 2.

Are you kidding? The only battlefields I can think of that were as sparse and colorless as KZ2's were the Western Front and Iwo Jima. Realistic...please.

wow, that is a rediculous statement. no game will have the wow factor halo 3 will have. if i were a cow or a sheep i'd be embarrased to compare anythig on my system to halo3. in fact, when the cows and sheep actully play halo 3, they will be so blown away that even the most stubborn ones will sell their consoles to get a 360. it will be incredibly addicting. and bungie does not need to borrow someone else's engine. this game will blow ssbb away (the closest competitor sony or nintendo has to halo3).

EDIT i didn't mention killzone 2 because i haven't looked into the game enough to know how good it will be, but after putting extensive hours into ssbm and halo2 and studying bungie and nintendo's tendencies i can make a pretty educated guess as to the quality of these 2 games.

ever played Stranglehold thats why everything shouldn't use Unreal engine 3.0Sonic_on_crack
