You might think this is a stupid comparison, but the 360 has been out longer the hardware is more dev friendly, so bungie had plenty of time to get a lot of what the 360 offers. Same goes for Gurilla, with Killzone 2 and the PS3. K2 launches a little over 2 years after the PS3's debut...Halo 3 launched around 2 years after it's launch....seems fair, IMO.

so which is it?

I think k2 has better lighting, animations, gun models, character detail.

While Halo 3, has some impressive detailed enviroments, draw distance.

but right off the bat, what catches your eyes more?

This isnt a fair comparison considering killzone2 uses a engine built ground up for ps3...and halo 3 is using a modified halo 2 engine originally made for xbox.

that means nothing, everything is in HD and in high detail, a newly built engine wouldn't have made it look better. The Halo 2 engine got its make over for the hardware. lol

i agree, the marines face's were ugly and low detailed in HALO 3. Nothing knew though, Halo 1 and 2 did the same. But chief's model looks great, and it should, its armor and not actual faces and what not.

Halo 3 catches my eye more because I really like it's lighting and color. The environments look nice.

In terms of technical though Killzone 2 I guess though it's just black and white.

true, but can't expect much color in K2's setting, should be interesting to see the jungle enviroments in K2. if there is one, hopefully.

Halo 3 textures are unmathced on consoles imo(maybe Gears is better). draw distance is very good, and perhaps the best use of high dynamic range. overall Killzone 2 looks better

This thread is ridiculously unnecessary. Killzone 2 looks much better than Halo 3 (graphically) for one reason: It's coming out in 2009, whereas Halo 3 was a 2007 game. You'd be better off comparing Resistance 2 to Gears 2, since they are coming out at the same time period.

I realize that System Wars has abused this comparison, but it is still valid nonetheless.

Halo 3 is a very beautiful game I think. Playing through it again now and taking my time, I'm seeing so many things that just amaze me.

But seeing vids of Killzone 2 is just amazing I think. The animation all looks good, the gun in FPS view is very detailed, it all looks good to me.

I think this is an unfair comparison. KZ2 isn't even released yet, and Halo 3 was released a year ago or something. But to give an asnwer. I think Killzone looks better.

err, so?

didn't you read what i stated in the topic? the 360 hardware was out before the PS3's while both are pretty much equal (with the 360 have a slighter GPU advantage) and bungie having more than 2 years (plus the early kits) to work with, its pretty fair to compare. Same goes with Killzone 2. lol

Development for each game probably started around the same time since both guerrilla and bungie work closely with their respective console manufacturer, meaning they would have started development before there systems were released (both systems were originally slated to launch in the same year). Killzone even had a launch trailer before the PS3 was available. The big difference between them though is one was released in 2007 while the other not until 2009.

Halo 3 isn't even a graphical marvel so I don't see the point of this. Killzone 2 is being hyped basically just for its graphics, just like Killzone and Lair were. Halo 3 is pretty, I'll give it that, but I've been spoiled with some of the games that are out now. It would make more sense to compare Killzone 2 to Gears of War 2, and Gears 2 isn't even an fps.

again, another doesn't listen, the 2007/2009 excuse doesn't work. the 360 was out in 05, it's been in devs hand for almost the same ammount of time, the k2 trailer wasn't even real and the 360 hardware is much more friendlier to work with, giving bungie an upper hand and the fact that the GPU is somewhat more advance.

it equals out. with minor differences. that shows with Halo 3 having what looks to be superior textures, etc. Halo 3 looks great.

Kz2 definately wins but I still would say Halo 3 has better textures.

Halo 3 could have been awesome looking if only it had better models and ant aliasing to get rid of all the jaggies.

Devs can and do start working on there games before they have a Dev Kit. Just because the PS3 didn't launch when it was originally intended to doesnt mean all game development stopped as well. It Also doesn't matter how hard or friendly the hardware is both guerrilla and bungie have access to the programmers and members who helped create the hardware.

Im not arguing if one is better than the other. but your reasoning on why its fair to compare them doesn't hold much weight, especiialy since we are all aware that Killzone 2 has been in development far longer than 2 years.

If there are jaggies, there are no where as many as that screenshot has. Not even on my SDTV does it look near that bad.

"Actually, it isn't." The moment you start playing, you see how beautiful that forest is with the lighting and the leaves and plants and such. Absolutely gorgeous.

I don't know why you see the jaggies like that screen when you played the game, but on my standard def TV and my roommates HD, either way the game looks wonderful and the screenshot you had shown is a terrible representation of what the game looks like.

As the resident texture whore, I like the look of Halo 3 way more, but I definitely see why people think killzone 2 looks great. It has some excellent motion blur and animations, though that's not really my thing.

KZ 2 has better animations, but terrible textures and a generic "gritty" art design. Halo 3 is more vivid and eye-catching.
