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

[QUOTE="Snagal123"]

[QUOTE="johny300"] You mean they have to look exactly the same as the actors.johny300

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.

No. No game on any platform can, i said that already. The power is not there. While games still use polygons it won't happen, and ray tracing is a long way off.

No, TC, just no! This is KZ2 screenshot, as you see it goes for the heavy stylized non-realistic, comic-book-like look:

And this is Arma II - this is what is usually called photorealistic graphics:

Modded Crysis comes close.

I went around the world on a ship before and most countries I came to had many colors and looked gorgeous even from a distance but some were all brown and they never seemed to be worth my time...I actually had this happen to me in my life at one point but I think it can be used as a metaphor for this game as well.

I think Bayonetta is the only true photo realistic game. Bayonetta makes me feel like I'm living a chapter of a regular day in my life. (I'm still trying to find the sarcasm font)

That's in-game Crysis. No console game can touch this.

photorealistic graphics king lolololololol

Amazing.

I'd imagine photorealism goes to Arma 2 hands down.

killzone 2 is praised for the wrong reasons.

sure graphics are pretty to lookout, but its the strong multiplayer component that really makes it special on the PS3.

i just made a thread on this...

but Heavy Rain's graphics are criminally underrated.

i'm actually happy people don't post Alan Wake screenshots, since it'd show the hypocrisy of some people on System Wars to their fullest.

Still looks like game graphics to me...:?

I don't know why xbox fans are docking this game's visuals for being too "gray" or "brown" ... You guys do realize that this will come back to you when Gears 3 is out right?

What was the point of posting that when he said nothing about reach?

Again, the closest thing to 'photorealism' at the moment is Arma 2.

Everything else is just too hyper realistic.

There is no such thing of photorealistic graphics at the time we're living in right now. Not even Crysis reaches that level.Nerd_Man

lets be honest, posting dodgy comparison pictures still won't prove your point.

Crysis does not look anywhere near real-life.

I hate when people put those modded shots there like they run it like that with reasonable frame rates, I own crysis and it looks awesome but nowhere near those modded shots.

maybe a photo taken by a epileptic, with a crappy camera that fell in the mud. yeah.

My 3 year old computer is running Crysis just fine as shown in this screenshot.

And that same computer performance can be found for around 400-500 USD today.

A slightly pricer computer could do much much more with Crysis graphics so gamers today should have much problems with the mods.

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

Crysis again? -_- What part of CONSOLES didn't you get? Show me Crysis on a 7950 and 512MB RAM next to U2 or GOW3...Kane04

Why should we?

Crysis is not like those rail shooters or small hack and slash games.

And a computer that only costs around 400-500 USD can run crysis well at these visuals and resolution.

This is my favourite, absolutely stunning:

Far Cry 2, Heavy Rain, and Alan Wake look more realistic. Good graphics =/= realistic looking
