Killzone 2 only used half the PS3's processing power!!!

Apparently Killzone 2 only used 50% of the PS3's processing power. If this is true, how amazing is Killzone 3 going to be? We're yet to see a console game really surpass KZ2 graphically, and this is only using half of the PS3's power?!?!

why is KZ3 using all of the processing powah!!!!!?

1. Im skeptical about it.
2. Crysis:P

The power of the Cell will power the new sun. Anyways... I wonder why KZ3 doesn't look 50% better than KZ2... maybe now it's only using 60%..

Pfft, the Cell can power the entire galaxy.

As far as I can tell, it just states that the KZ2 level in the PS3 engine only ran at 50% of it's capability. Correct me if i'm wrong, but doesn't that mean it's only using 50% of the engine's output rather than the PS3's.

Seems pretty vague and ambiguous for a statement :P

the key word in this whole situation is optimization...they are learning to use the PS3 as a whole more efficiently.

BTW, for reference, KZ3 looks substantially better than KZ2.

These kinds of arguments are rather silly...

Dark Athena sometimes uses about 96-98% of the combined power of my dual 460's yet the game is still not very good looking, still has jaggies despite high levels of AA, does'nt run at constant 60 (50 due to v-syncing to a refresh rate option that resets itself) if you use decent levels of AA or SSAO (yeah, it's AA or SSAO, not both) AND practically requires a gamepad due to mouse lag regardless of framerate.

looks nearly the same to me cept diffrent lighting tones and maybe slightly better AA.

Oh and looks bullshotish.

Oh really? Then why don't they make Killzone 3 look EXACTLY like KZ2, but run it in 1920x1080p instead? I mean, since they've got 50% raw processing power and the Cell Engine supposedly does graphics.

Wanna bet that at some point we are gonna hear that U2 used only 55% of Ps3 power?

You're unlocking the true powah of teh cell. The damage it causes will most likely cause the end of the world.

Do ppl who still believe this? Also KZ3 may look a bit better than KZ2 but not twice as good for sure...

teh damege modelz are teh mos realistic..and this rings true on here most times.

They need that power to implement 3d and co-op splitscreen for the main campaign.

How many people actually read the article? He said that the kz3 engine is more optimized and when they imported a kz2 level into the new engine it only used half of the ps3's processing power. Not that kz2 only used 50% of the ps3's power but their new engine is much more optimized.ferret-gamer

I couldn't figure out whether your sig was in-game from the trailer, if so - are we the only 2 who think that it just looks incredible?!
