Killzone 2 = Photorealistic Graphics K**g for now (on Consoles) *Proof*

Yes this game still tops every other console game for now when it comes to photorealistic graphics, proof with a video below. Yes it even defeats Uncharted 2, which has a better art direction and color but looks more cartoony due to the over saturated colors. Gears of war 2 is in the competition due to it's photorealistic textures but it has nothing on Killzone 2's volumetric smoke, lighting and other technicals.

Heres an HD video showing one of the Multiplayer map demonstrating lighting, partical effects, destructible environments and volumetric smoke. Note that this is the multiplayer which the graphics are noticeably a downgrade compared to the campaign. Looks a little like what Crysis 2 is trying to replicate on colsoles don't it? Let me add that Killzone 2 MP maps are huge plus 32 players max. What a technical monster this game is and it set the bar so high for console graphics. Looks a lot better compared to the current 360 Crysis 2 build with superior smoke effects and explosions.

Killzone 3 is in Alpha stage for now, here's a video demonstrating how it looks now in Alpha. If you go watch the videos of Killzone 2 in alpha stage, you'll notice a lot of improvements in the final build. Sony first party devs just cant be messed with when it comes to console graphics. PS let this remain a Console only thread

The world I live in is not made of shades of brown and gray

Yeah they're good...if you like alot of gray. Uncharted 2's world is lush and colorful, Killzone 2 is kinda...gray.

I didn't even know we had photorealistic graphics kings...

When i look outside the game that looks the most similar is Alan Wake. As for lighting i'd take mirrors edge global illumination over kz2's lighting solution.

Hate to break it to you, but graphics don't mean anything if the gameplay isn't up to par.

PS fans=graphics whores Thats all you guys talk about. Graphics are so 2001.

My opinion the game will be EPIC. It will be a first day buy for me and alotof other people.

It looks good but photorealistic? No, not even close.

Uncharted looks more realistic, sure it's more colorful, but it's not practically greyscale. Right now in my room I see colors that are much closer to what I'd see in Uncharted than Killzone, and realism is a lot more than the colors, and in that respect I believe Uncharted wins as well. rolo107

Killzone 2 is more detailed then Uncharted2 however only slightly. But Its not a very fair comparison because Uncharted 2 takes place in jungles, ruins, mountains, villages, cities and therefore has alot more colour.

[QUOTE="johny300"] How about Mass effect 2?Stevo_the_gamer

Actually, the PC ver... oh, right, consoles only. Moving along then.

[QUOTE="Snagal123"]

[QUOTE="johny300"] Which game do you think looks photorealisttick?johny300

None.

There are no photorealistic games on any platform, the technology is not powerful enough yet.

why must console gamers fight over old hardware

Photorealistic? Real men are not buff midgets.

[QUOTE="johny300"][QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"]lolwut. Mass Effect 2 isn't even in the top 10 for best looking games...ferret-gamer

Actually, some of the humans do look very realistic - plus on PC, the textures of the faces are out of this world. Where they fall flat is the rest of the body and the hair.

[QUOTE="ferret-gamer"][QUOTE="johny300"] What? the charectar models look very real and i mean very real. And the art style is very superb.psn8214

Killzone does have good graphics but it's not photorealistic. When it comes to photorealistic, Medal of Honor looks good.

Heavy rain character models looks exactly like the real ones.johny300

They do look amazing, some of the best in a game but they are not photorealisitic. I think some people don't understand the meaning of photorealism.

As in look like a photo of the actor, and they do not, you can see textures, the shaders, it looks like a rendered image, not a photo, so its not photorealistic.

You won't see photorealism in games for a good 5-10 years, if not longer.
