Halo 3 or Killzone 2..which looks better?

[QUOTE="Episode_Eve"][QUOTE="TREAL_Since"]

1.) The gun models (design and textures) looks so much better in KZ2.

2.) The environment textures in Halo 3 look better.

3.) Character models look better in KZ2

4.) Lighting looks better in KZ2 (H3 is still great)

5.) Animations and physics are better in KZ2

6.) KZ2 has more outstanding post processing effects and blur

PAL360

I agree with all of this. But even though the some environment textures in H3 are better (as in higher-res), the design and art in KZ2 environmets surpass it.

not at all....design and art is exactely where halo3 rules!!!

Halo 3 has great design even though alot of it is rehashed. But you can't say it's better than KZ2. I like both. KZ2 environmentsare very war torn and gritty. I love that style.

opinions...i agree that killzone 2 looks great but art and graphics are different things. imo halo art/design>killzone art/design. But KZ is not out yet...why are we discussing this?? :P

[QUOTE="Adrian_Cloud"]Halo 3 was NEVER.. i mean NEVER an impressive looking game. Everything from the textures to lighting in this game is just GOOD. Killzone 2 on the other hand is pushing boundaries. So no, that wasn't even a logical question. AA was horrid though... i mean just bad, Character models also were not very good. Everything else was solid.TREAL_Since

Actually H3 is known for it's really hi-res textures. Everything else KZ2 demolishes.

glossy=/= hi res.

[QUOTE="mr_mozilla"][QUOTE="WhenTheTwoFace"]

[QUOTE="mr_mozilla"]KZ2 obviously. Halo3 was never an impressive looking game to begin with.PAL360

Yes, it was graphically impressive.

Two Options:

•1) You have not played Halo 3.

•2) You have played Halo but lie because you're a fanboy.

you never played the game and you came here to say halo3 is not an impressive looking game!!!

thats the bad reputation i was talking about

Either way he is right... Halo 3 is not an impressive game at all. I mean the last level was all puke.

Dont make me laugh

Halo 3s art design is a major mixed bag (like its visuals). Singleplayer in particular - strong vehicle design but increadably weak enviroment design at times (a few exeptions).

Halo 3, nor any of the Halos are strong in art direction compared to other shooters - like Bioshock, STALKER or TF2.

I'd throw the cows a bone and say that KZ2s art style is much stronger. Sure its not very unique... but its strong.

Eh?

What game are you playing? :? Halo 3's best feature graphically was easily the environments. They were by far the most impressive aspect of the visuals. The jungle at the beginning, to the sweeping desert, to the forerunner structures. It was all very detailed and very well done.

In fact... did you just say Killzone has more art direction than Halo? :?

I love Halo 3's art style. :P

SO Halo 3 it is. But ive never played Killzone 2...So.

1.) The gun models (design and textures) looks so much better in KZ2. Y

2.) The environment textures in Halo 3 look better.

3.) Character models look better in KZ2

4.) Lighting looks better in KZ2 (H3 is still great)

5.) Animations and physics are better in KZ2

6.) KZ2 has more outstanding post processing effects and blur

1. You cant even see the gun half the time, thanks to overdone blur effects.

2. Yea.

3. The character models in KZ2 reminds me of when I had to play F.e.a.r on low graphics.

4. You are joking? You obviously never played Halo 3 and stop to look at its stunning lighting.

5. Animations and phyics? Probably way better in KZ2. Halo 3 doesnt use phyics much, unless you are working in a forge map.:P

6. KZ2 has annoying amounts of blur. Probably to hide the ugly textures.

Killzone 2. Halo 3 looks good until you see the faces on the humans.

However the Flood Hive ship looked wonderful, and the vehicle design - like the Brute Chopper is fantastic.

A real mixed bag. Pretty much like all of Halo 3s singleplayer visuals.

And I said KZ2s art style is far stronger than Halo 3s. Not as creative, for sure, but it is stronger. The enviroments do look like convincing war torn cities, chocked by smoke and fog.

Halo 3

Graphis are better Gameplay better, MP is vastly superior, Story is almost tied.

the level's are more detailed on killzone2....but the textures arent as good as halo3's overall.

killzone2 has better hand grenades because you can pull the pin and throw it before it explodes or never throw it and suicide urself lol< timed hand handes...like real ones.

halo 3 has better vehicles...if killzone2 even has any lol.

you can jump and shoot in halo 3 that's a plus.

[QUOTE="onewiththegame"]

All this topic proves is the PS3 isn't the powerhouse cows like to think it is, comparing an 2007(360) game to a 2009(ps3) game

on DAY ONE xbox proved it had better tech than ps2, now 2 years latter cows are still trying to prove ps3 is the powerhouse they say it is

Iceman2911

the ps3 holds the graphics king where have you been a lemming made this thread.

Doom3 looks better.

doom3 online>>>killzone2/halo 3.

HALO 3

it has better models, textures, lighting animations, AA, and it has COLOR!!

That is the worst Killzone 2 picture I've seen in awhile-Sniper99-

the above pic is a doom3 user made multiplayer map.

This is just a ridiculous question. Do you really need to ask? Really?
Halo 3 isnt even considered the best looking 360 game? Whats the point in this?

If the last Killzone was any indication though, graphics do not decide the quality of the over all game.

level detail killzone 2>>>>halo 3.

textures halo 3>>> killzone2

gameplay halo 3 wins because you can jump and shoot and killzone2 has time hand grenades.

This doom3 user made deathmatch map looks pretty good...except for a few bad textures the map maker could of replaced with higher res ones.

Funny doom3 looks just as good as these new console games.

halo 3 has the best vehicles...the warthog/jeep is fun because it's so **** slidey and **** driving it and floaty.

In terms of core deathmatch mechanics doom3's the best....because you can strafe jump and rocket jump,and timed hand grenades.

you can actually rocket jump kinda in halo 3....i forgot the name of the weapon...but it shoots grenades outs out or something and it bouces off the ground first.

press jump/shoot sametime and it will make you jump higher....but it doesnt work as good as doom3's rocket launcher jump.

Halo 3. Killzone 2 doesn't look very good at all. I have seriously no idea why people are hyping its graphics. The textures, which are very important, looks pretty much awful. Everything else looks ok, I guess, but there's nothing hype-worthy there. It might be the best looking PS3 title (which I personally don't think), but I've seen people comparing it to Crysis. Wtf?

i like killzone2's maps better than halo 3 looks more atmospheric..more detailed.

but no shootin in midair after jumping=lame or no shooting while falling

You could make better graphics on doom3 editor if you have the skills than killzone2 or halo 3...these mappers had alittle talent.

LOL look stalwart xl from unreal tournament 1999 on doom3.

doom3 halo type map lol

then you have regular doom style multiplayer map.

i think overall doom3's multiplayer owns halo 3/killzone2.

graphics arent bad for a 4 year old game ?

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?

Eyezonmii

i think your comparison makes little sense. Yes its true that both games are expected to launch two years after their respective platform release, and yes developers and both side has the same amount of time to optimize the game for the hardware. But game engines advance over the years, and become more effecient in producing high quality effects because technology is constant building upon itself. The unreal engine in 2009 doesnt just optimize hardware better, it has much better programming by buildingupon the 2007 unreal engine.

So a 2007 game engine would be far inferior to a 2009 game engine just in terms of technical prowess. Its expected that Killzone 2 to have better graphics than Halo3, and if you look at the RIGHT screenshots, it definately shows it.

I am a xbox 360 owner by the way. And i own halo 3 and play it in 1080p on a 32 inch. The graphics are nice, but its definately not breath taking.

The artstyle thing is a matter of opinion, but the comment about cityscapes leads me to believe you haven't played the game, because there weren't any cityscapes. In fact you barely entered a few human buildings during chapter 4 and 5 and that was it. Also last I checked halo's have no plains, but don't let that stop you.Vaasman

:|

I love the overall griity and heavy look to killzone 2... but i also like the futuristic look and the environments in Halo 3. I could say that technically killzone 2 graphics are better. But i don't really care about the technical side, as long as the end result is good, and these two games have artstyle too different to choose one of the.
