Killzone 2 Graphics Thread - 6 New Videos - Best Looking Game On Consoles

I cant wait for the game :)

Not only does it have the best grahics on consoles (dont think fanboys can argue against that anymore) but people with the beta say the gameplay is brilliant too. Like COD4 but more skillull PLUS with the first proper first oerson cover system for a console game :)

The amount of stuff the ps3 is doing though with that game is incredible for consoles. People bash the bluring but it actuall takes up a lot of power. And its done so things further from the middle of the screen are more blurred, like normal human vision, so you dont notice it really, but it makes it more realistic.

I mean its completely the opposite to the first, the first was not worked on enough, but this one has been worked on way more than it needed to be, in a good way. :)

off-topic: I would rather have a knife for melee combat like in resistance 2 and Call of duty 4. It would less complicate the weapon melee attacks.

on-topic: O_O WOW

I think I'll pass on this game

• no super high jumping
• no cover mechanics in multiplayer
• destructibility is only cosmetic
• no vehicles in mutliplayer
• no regular deathmatch
• no co-op
• only 8 maps
• no dual-weilding
• linear single player
• A.I looks weak
• no chainsaw guns
• multiplayer counts are too high - 32 ? wt ?
• too gray
• maps are confusing
• class system progression is unfair
• team killing is abundant
• grenade/rocket launcher spammers
• you can't zip around the map , you feel weighted down like you are wearing armor
• no replays
• delayed animations
• no forge/map editor
• doesn't take much to kill anybody - just a headshot or a few hits to the body
• no aim-assist
• Helghast are easy targets with their glowing eyes
• run of the mill , no innovation , standard , safe , archaic
• no knife for melee
• look suffers from shiny overload
• borrows too many features form other games - identity crisis

This game is a mess.

You do know this is from a 6 MONTH OLD BETA !!

Gears of War 2 , MGS 4 and COD 4 all look better than killzone 2

reasons i'll pass on this if true.

it's all true, i can confirm as i am in beta, as im sure others can.

the one thing this game suffers from the most is this:

It tries far too hard to be too many things. It borrows too many features from so many different games. The developers would have had a solid title had they focussed more on making those elements work together to create a cohesive whole - as it is it's a relatively run-of-the-mill shooter with nice visuals that is missing some core game elements that could have really made it stand out above the rest.  

-Lens Blur - Crysis does this
-Volumetric Lighting Effects
-High Dynamic Range Lighting
-32 Player online with a very advanced game engine with low to little lag and stable framerate
-Destructible objects
-Movable Object
-Non-Static scenery
-High Resolution Textures
-Detailed Shader Networks
-Volumetric Particle Systems
-Animation Blending

No other Next Generation game on consoles has all these features! Killzone 2 will be the first. Looks like Sony wasn't lying after all. PS3 is more powerful then Xbox 360 and Killzone 2 will show this. I can't wait until this game comes out! :D

The game looks great. I can't wait for it to come out. The only problem I am having with it personally is that it doesn't feel like Killzone 1. I know a lot of you will think that is a good thing, but Killzone 1 is honestly my favorite game of all time because it had a certain feel and style that no other game really captured liked it did. Killzone 2 looks like it lost a lot of that with the leap to next gen. I sure hope I'm wrong though.

I have a question for those in the beta. What are the options available to you? Like if you go into the option menu, what can you change? From the videos it looks like you can turn on and off the hud. But I'm not sure if that's true or not. So what are the options? 

Impressive, but for graphics king no i saw Grand turismo 5 and it's gorgeous. I will look forward to playing this game though.DivinitySkate

People are comparing Multiplayer graphics against Singleplayer graphics in this thread. That shows how good the multiplayer looks.

Anyways i was having a blast with the beta, as soon as i get my HDTV back i will be having a blast once again.

This game needs to implement the cover system into online, thats the feature that is going to seperate this game from Halo/cod. I can already see that being a complaint in future reviews if its no there.

These videos are old.

this videos kinda new

i can't believe there are people out there that still think the PS3 is more powerful than the 360.... odd. this gen is nearly over and we've yet to see proof.

Short list.

I don't understand why we ever even talk about best looking console graphics. Like Console Exclusives they are irrelevant. The game is on PC. Like Console graphics. They are better on PC. I never understood the console only talk when the PC is right there in the forum called SW.Blackbond

Shhhhh!!!!

You'll tear the fabrics of their frail reality with talk like that!

lol damn i was watching this in low quality.

youtube's default video quality sucks....but at the bottom right corner of the video click watch in high quality and the video is clear as crap man looks as good as original posters stuff.

10 mins killzone2 beta^

doom3 has better lighting than killzone2.

the shadows in killzone2 has jaggie edges.

To be honest, graphics debates with the PC involved become boring. Then one could always try to use the lack of standardization argument against PC graphics. For instance: Crysis wont look as good as all the screens that are thrown around here on every computer. However Killzone 2 will look the same on every PS3 in its native resolution.

lol doom3 graphics>>>killzone2 atleast lighting

Those comments on that site are quite pathetic, and they reek of desperation. Like there aren't people that own both consoles. Very sad. Anyways, this game has great graphics. Let's see how the rest pans out...BioShockOwnz

lol doom3 graphics>>>killzone2 atleast lighting

impattack420

you are reminding me a lot of another poster that always ranted about Doom3 and would post that same shot and got banned a while back.... (puts on Shelock Holmes hat / Pipe). 

i'm in beta, those vids make it look better than it is in person imo. definitely not the best looking game i've seen on consoles. it suffers from Kameo shiny overload - Drake's did too, similar problem.3picuri3

killzone2 jaggie shadows

doom3 better shadow

f.e.a.r shadows are decent well doom3 could do this also...but it doesnt have the option. f.e.a.r uses stencil shadows just like doom3, but it has a option to smooth off the edges of the stencil shadow. fake soft shadows but runs better...just as good if not better...crysis soft shadows are more jaggie.

well doom3's shadows better because darker...but cool f.e.a.r has edge smoother.

Impressive, but for graphics king no i saw Grand turismo 5 and it's gorgeous. I will look forward to playing this game though.DivinitySkate

GT5 and Crysis don't count! I thought you knew that :P.

Couple things...

-Why do you want aim assist?

-Delayed animations have been fixed for release according to devs

- Replays?  Who cares.

-What's wrong with just a few hits or a head shot for a kill?  Ever play COD4?

-Halo didn't do anything innovative, yet it's a great game.

-Maps are confusing?  No, they're really not, I'm in the beta.

-No chainsaw gun? ...Do I even need to say anything here?

-Linear single player.  Most games have a linear single player.  But how can you say this?  They haven't released much single player footage to make that judgement.

-Can't jump super high/no dual-wielding.  They're going for a realistic feel for this game. 

-Only 8 maps.  This is one thing I actually agree with, the number is low.  They said they're going to be releasing more via DLC though.

-Class system is unfair... seems fine to me...once again I'm in the beta.

-Team killing is abundant.  Luckily there's this awesome option to turn off friendly fire.

-Helghast are easy targets.  Devs have said tha upon final release the ISA soldiers will have a glowing blue light on them equally as bright as Helghast, and both faction's lights fade at a distance.

-Grendade/rocket launcher spammers.  Any game with those weapons could potentially have this problem, and I haven't experienced this much at all with my time with the beta.

-No map editor.  This is a prefrence thing.

-Can't zip around the map/feel like you're wearing armor.  Well you are a soldier and therefore you ARE carrying a lot of gear...

If you'd like to try and find any other way to belittle this game, please feel free. :)

In other news, I'm in the beta and this game is awesome! 

killzone2 looks good....but you cant shoot out lights like doom3...and it doesnt seem dark enough to let you actually hide in supposibly dark areas.

doom3's lighting is overall best i seen.
