K2 doesn't look better than crysis, but artistically it does. ..heres why &

imo, art-wise and the overall look of the title it screams realism and war torn mayhem...like being in a battle.

Mainly due to animations/effects, etc..but artstyIe-wise its pretty impressive and stick out even against the most realistic titles. even if doesn't looks as good as crysis, so again, it stands out and is a great techinical achievement for consoles. I think thats what many people don't understand, when i say it looks better than any other shooter, i obviously know it isn't as detailed as say crysis for obvious reasons, but the developers have marveoulously shaped its own unique look, with a heavy use of amazing lighting/ effects. Not seen in a console game yet.

its the combination of animations, lighting, effects, and style of gameplay that brings it to life and makes one just step back and say wow. (visually speaking)

while i'm also mentioning animations, Crysis's animations arn't realistic in comparison, its like your typical static shooter with straight forward movements and what not, while KZ has a more weighty/swaying look to it, like everything alive and in motion. (at least for me) weither its from jumping over objects or jumping in general it looks real as one would do it in real-life and thats what GG's goal is. that level of realism, which i don't see in any other shooter.

gameplay is questionable, i know i will like it as i did the first, but i'm not getting into that.

so is this how many K2 lovers feel regarding its looks or am i the only one?

dude come on.....

artistically crysis is still better....you cannot beat realism.

yes kz2 looks good for a CONSOLE game but dont compare it to a pc game cos you will end up getting owned by many ppl here on these forums.

just a warning

Wow Killzone 2 grahpics "Suckzors or Owns" threads are shooting out like crazy.

Pls. people the game is still a half-year away...

warning for what? i've already admitted crysis looks better, we all know that....but people who express an opinion on K2 looking better, is probably mainly due to its art-styIe the developers have used. you can't compare, yes...but K2 sticks out and even when compared K2 stands its own ground, visually...even if it isn't as good looking.

Crysis doesn't have any artistic style. K2 wins by default.KillerGabe6987

all i'm trying to say it, Crysis rely's heavlily on powerfull hardware, with K2 running on less powerfull hardware in comparison, K2 still manages to look GOOD when compared. it looks realistic and REAL, for a console shooter and i think many see this, including my self.

shows you, that a lot has to do with the developers skills in the overall art of the game and design choices made, which more than enough makes up of K2's beauty.

so next time when you think why do people think it looks better than crysis, thats why. (atleast for me and i'm sure many others)

really depends on your taste of its overall art work and design, weither its the gritty, bloomed dark look or the overall lighter realistic colored one, etc.

Obviously you (TC) never experienced war + dont know lot about art + probably never played crysis

Art style just like graphics, are subjest to opinion ... Jesus.

I agree with the TC... there is something about KZ2 that sets it apart from the so-called "graphic kings" like crysis. The art direction is phenomenal.

In my country there was war recently,and one guy watched TOO MANY RAMBO movies.

He was all "omg its war im gona kill people kick ass" he equiped himself with bandana,knives arrows,war colors.

But when first bullet passed near his head than he realised that war is not "cool teenage movie/game"

Killzone 2 etc = Rambo (cheap comercial movie 4fun)

SCHIENDLERS LIST = art

imo, art-wise and the overall look of the title it screams realism and war torn mayhem...like being in a battle.

Sorry but Crysis has far better animations and not to forget realistic animations than KZ2.

Facts in these gifs, period.

thanks for dodging completely to what i said. Are you denying K2's graphics? its looks realistic, its looks real it looks amazing and even compared to the technical marvels (visiaually out there) it stands out on its own.

I jsut prefer the artwork in K2 and its overall looks:

fine thats your opinion, regarding animations, but in mine, holding the gun while moving and shooter without much movement or recoil, isn't realistic. K2 aniamtion have depth and weight seen in actual combat. Crysis gameplay animations are a lot like your typical shooter, imo. but whatever.

how?

i still think K2 looks better, from an artistic/lighting point of view....while crysis looks much more detailed. sorry.

Its KZ2 bluriness artwork that sets it apart. havent seen so many low-res textures and overall blurry vaseline filtered output since the days of year 2000 (PC).

i can and i have.:|

Crysis looks amazing, in every way yes, but K2's just grabs my attention more when seen in motion. just the overall look is phenomenal and suits my tastes BETTER. you see.

Headshot...

TimeShift looks better than KZ2 imo:

PROTIP: Turning everything a tint of grey is an "art direction".

If you want an art direction, play Wind Waker.

why do u keep posting images for? i already said crysis looks more detailed and better, but like i said, i prefer the art direction in K2.

don't need to get all defensive.

That looks like a war? Looks like some child has went mad with pastel colours ... gray paster colours.

Not looking realistic, and looking like war is a fallacy

war is REAL, Crysis looks REAL,Killsone does NOT

You also said that kz2 looks more realistic,but somehow you ignore my REALISTIC pictures.

As i said,KZ2 is far from realistic,its just another rambo-meets-call-of-duty-shooter

"artistically" is an opinion and cannot be argued. So TC is wrong for making this ridiculous thread.

What if I said, I prefer Wind waker visuals over Crysis? Can't really argue with that....

Hell no.

Even artistically, Crysis has great direction...

More interesting direction than KZ2 quite frankly.

And Crysis's animations ARE amazing.

Take the NK soldiers jumping back in sheer terror, as you leap over them, or speed past.

Why the pics? Crysis is dazzling; we get that. But most PC games don't have a particular art style.

This post above stinks of major fail, if anything Pc games has the most beathiful and detailed artwork. *** games do also have a lot of artwork but to much pedo stuff.

in terms of lighting yes, imo...Crysis isn't photorealistic as you make it sound like...it looks great and real, but like i said, K2 just grabs me more in terms of its art/moody color/lighting, perhaps the combination of the animation has a lot to do with it, but thats how i feel.

and i think many others do to, when they make a similar statement. Do you honestly believe K2 looks bad?

KZ2 looks attractive,nothing more

just how graphics can add to gameplay. better animations mixed with incredible visuals, makes the overall look of the game more better, its why many say K2 looks better in motion.

See when I see that pic, I would say it has a nice art style... Character design isn't original but when I see Crysis... though technically it dazzles your dazzled mind but it's kind of boring to look at because there's no definite art style.
