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

[QUOTE="thetruespin"]

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?!?!

I would think using only half the ps3 processing, the devs would make it run at 60fps instead of the borderline slideshow it was

Black Ops maxed out looks better than WAW maxed out,and so does 360 version in comparison with 360 version of WAW.Here,simple as that.

What.....the....you just recanted something you previously said.

How do you know Black Ops looks better if you never played the PC versions of the games?

You contradict yourself so much.

I think it was around 60% in KZ2, which is pretty good. Only UC2 is said to be using a 100% in the best looking scenes in the game. It looks like KZ2 has been improved a bit, and considering that they can add CO-OP, splitscreen, and more stuff on screen at once, they must have improved they're engine.

This talk about percentage is just as dumb as an episode of Dragon Ball Z.

I told you on last page,I played WAW,I dont own it on my PC but i played it on one.Pretty maxed out,with HD4750.

i always call killzone 2 a low res mess to my mate, hopefully the 3rd one will have more aa or higher res if they have optimised it like they say :)

i own killzone2/halo reach/black ops on pc, i have medal of honor on ps3 though. MOH even on ps3 dude looks more polished than halo reach. black ops on ps3/360 i could tell u now still looks more polished than halo reach. black ops/killzone2 about even.gfhgfhfgfhgfhgf

Killzone 3 must be using half its power then because I don't see a significant visual upgrade between the 2.

You're close to being half right. Killzone 2 only used "60%" of the spe's. It was using all 100% of the PPE and the RSX graphics processor.

And for killzone 3 they offloaded enough to max out the spe's "workload" to 100%.

Basically what they improved on in kz3 is, they used the same engine (why not? it's great.) they removed all the excess blur, switched the 2xQuincux AA for MLAA, which saved them 18 mb's of video RAM.

And then they optimised their code to a t. Getting sharper textures, and bigger scale out of the deal. And better AA.

It may be killzone 2.5, (graphically at least), but the game has a great artstyle. In fact, it's one of my favorite art styles ever.

And I dare you to call it greyzone! :evil: :P

0nleeeez usins halfs of the pS3z POWWAAAAAZZZ:shock:? Thats good, hopefully they used all of the extra powers to fix the other problems of the game.

to what?

lol, no the water is alot better on part 3, it's the same engine, but level design seems to be getting more detailed which will overall make game look better.gfhgfhfgfhgfhgf

A friend of mine showed me the Killzone 3 beta. While the water looked cool, it was a baked simulation, completely none interactive. Not that anyone is going to take the time to inspect the interactivity of the water during a multiplayer match, but it's more for visual effect than a demonstration of performance.

Does KZ3 run at constant 30 fps?johny300

Beta dipped as low as 18fsps but im sure they are gonna fix it.

It probably is but when designing a gaming system, what matters is making something balanced without bottlenecks. The ps3 has a few to work around.

I remember when Sony first showcased Killzone 2....

quit living in the past dude, and clearly you haven't played killzone 2.

I totally agree. Sony really screwed up with the RAM and GPU or they would have had one powerful machine on there hands.djsifer01

The CPU is not that powerful anyway.

They try to use theoretical measurements but those are BS.

Nope I have played it.

]I disagree. The cell is extremely powerful and better at number crunching that most processors out there.djsifer01

It's not better at where it counts for games.

You could find examples of scenarios that it would perform well at though.

[QUOTE="Filthybastrd"]

[QUOTE="djsifer01"]You have either not played it or joking. Its ok not to like the game or even care for the style of graphics but, graphics are not based on opinion, its factual that KZ2 has some of the best visuals on consoles. On Topic: I believe it, the cell is a powerful processor.djsifer01

It probably is but when designing a gaming system, what matters is making something balanced without bottlenecks. The ps3 has a few to work around.

Regardless, I still think KZ3 looks really cool (in fact I'm hoping to join you american guys in your HYPE exploits once I get a new ps3). I'm a pretty enthusiastic Hermit but that should'nt keep one back from ackowledging the good stuff ;)

i've had it since day one and still i never found myself impressed by the game's graphics. lawlessx

Maybe Cows have it stuck in their minds that KZ2 looks like the early video footage from 2005.

Say what you will about Sony and killzone. The fact is the graphics on the game are some of the best on consoles today. It completely blows the 360 away in terms of graphics. The ps3 is a powerhouse period.Silent_Ninja87

I'm afraid I'm going to have to side with 360 on this one. Sure if you really invest in utilizing it the PS3 can offer better results, but at least developers can actually take advantage of 360, where as most of PS3s hardware demonstrating games come from in house development.

At the end of the day, the majority of games people will be playing are 3rd party titles. When it comes to cross platform development; there is little difference between the two platforms. There isn't much use for that hardware if only the 1st party are able to take full advantage of it.

Which is a shame, because if PS3 could offer better looking cross platform games; it would benefit the PC version by porting from PS3.

If that's true, then KZ3 would be 1080p. Then again, it's not.
