Is anyone else not impressed with Killzone 3s visuals?

Im being serious here and the game seriously looks all grey. Everything is just grey.

Every part of those character models is just a different shade of grey. The metal slates in the background are just grey. Even the clouds are grey.

2nd picture:

More grey. God... Even the snow has some grey in it. What is up with that. The only color in this picture is from the red glow on the eyes.

3rd picture:

This picture is the ultimate grey fest. Everything is just a different shade of grey. Are Sevs clothes supposed to be green? Because I see a lot of grey mixed in.

Everything about Killzone 3 is grey. The snow is grey. The walls are grey. The people are grey. The rocks are grey. The buildings are grey. The vehicles are grey. The guns are grey.

Right...I see color don't know what you guys are looking at.

Looks pretty good to me. There seems to be plenty of white going on as well.

the graphics to kz 2 and 3 were always meh to me, as was the campaign.

multiplayer was awsome though, probably one of the best this gen in terms of gameplay transition and variety.

Killzone has an amazing art direction. Its gritty done right. I love how everything is really dark with the orange glow from the helghasts eyes standing out.

But there is one thing i agree on, i dont like how Killzone 3 looks. Thats completely to do with the setting.

I just dont think the artstyle GG have set up blends well with snow, it.....just doesnt look right to me. Im prepared to eat my words when it releases but as of this point, i prefer the look (notice i didnt say graphics) of Killzone 2.

Well that... Depends on where the war takes place.

It looks great, but after playing through KZ2, KZ3 just looks good, not amazing as KZ2 looked at its time. So far KZ3 looks unpolished, the game has more noise, which helps hides jaggies but I dislike noise more than a few jaggies. But you got to figure, if they wanted to up graphics once again they'd need 4-5 more years of development.

Playstation 3 - It only does grey.Ravensmash

And the colours of the rainbow.

[QUOTE="Ravensmash"] Oh come on, I'm not denying it doesn't look visually great - but there is very very little colour variation.akbar13

But then you would complain that it looks like all other war games. its one level calm down. They said there would be jungle levels an many different locations, so lets just wait and see. Helghans buildings are all metal, whick is usually grey. Even so it still looks great. I never knew so many people loved bright colored games so much.

Im not impressed by them.They look very very good but no im not imressed,it looks exactly like Killzone 2.But i didnt notice that everything looks like a different shade of grey,hardly any color.

FYI - The game has jungle levels.

[QUOTE="i_am_interested"] yeah, thats usually what happens when you create a sequel on the same game engine as its predecessori_am_interested

[QUOTE="i_am_interested"][QUOTE="JordanizPro"] The engine was updated for this game

JordanizPro

the lighting is already better, theyre using sony ATG's new anti-aliasing, the models have higher res and more polys, theyre using per object motion blur, and it runs at a more stable framerate

nevermind, im sure killzone 2 had all that since k3 looks just like it

Real life greyness!!!

[QUOTE="JordanizPro"]

[QUOTE="i_am_interested"] yeah, it was updated to include awsome snow, awsome water displays, bigger level sizes, and bunch of other effects yet to be displayed its engine was updated like every other sequeli_am_interested

when you get to the level where you shoot up the smurf village it gets more colorful.

Looks like KZ2 but instead of being based in a factory its based on the N. Pole. Looks good but still just a grey looking "gridy" shooter IMO.

[QUOTE="i_am_interested"][QUOTE="JordanizPro"] Yea but did you see how better Gears 3 looked from Gears 2 and 1?They used the same engine but it was just updated after every sequel and it got better looking every time.But this isnt the case for Killzone 3 from 2

It's all to do with setting the mood of the game. Gears of War had this kind of colouring as well. I think it adds a gritty/downbeat look to it.

When in motion, it looks the best available on consoles.

Looks top tier, but what would you expect from GG. I agree about the grey though. Definitely one of the best looking games on console, period.

For the most part it looks like a less-blurry KZ2 with massive levels. They seem to be adding more of an acid burn, graphic novel look to the textures.

I'm very impressed by KZ3. Is it more advanced, or noticeably superior in image quality compared to other top-tier games? Nope. Lot's of very impressive games on consoles this gen. Good stuff.

Folks, they said VISUALS not GRAPHICS.

Visuals being good or not is largely up to opinion and it's kinda irrelevant in System Wars. I could say Wind Waker has the best graphics ever and you could never tell me I'm wrong, but I could never prove myself right.

Art styles never appeal to everyone. For instance, I think Halo looks like candy coated stupid, but a lot of people like it. I found MW2 to be more muddied looking than KZ2, or 3, mostly due to everything kind of blending together (maybe 'cause of the sub HD res).

umm there is a reason why at E3 it said "Pre-Alpha Code"
