Killzone 2 = still the Most Technically Advanced Console Game (Crysis 2 who?)

Dat glass shatterin in KZ3!

I don't understand why SW users think Crysis 2 is the 'best console graphic king' when Killzone 3 mops the floor with it in every way. KZ3 has better character models, KZ3 doesn't run in subHD like Crysis 2, and KZ3 has more going on in the scenes than Crysis 2.

I guess they want something to dethrone UC2 so bad they resort to this.....

crysis 2 does not look more real..lol..I dont even have either game and have only played demos of each. SO I can speak with a clear mind..KZ3 KILLZ crysis2 in every aspect no contest..

Even in that youtube comparison the barrel explosion is showing off better particle effects in Crysis 2.

...and as far as the water goes in kz3 can you interact with it in a way to show off god ray effects peering through the water like this....

Yeah, its nice comparison. KZ3 graphical superiority is absolutely clear. Screenshot comparisons might be a subject of discussion, but in motion, there is no doubt KZ3 is superior.

wow, people are still trying to tell themselves that kz3 looks better than crysis?

So what you are suggesting is that they let OTHER people tell them instead? Interesting? What's your favorite game of all time? Half Li...Oh wait no it's not it's Panda Bear Island 3.

wow, people are still trying to tell themselves that kz3 looks better than crysis?

KarateeeChop

We're supposed to take the opinion of others as fact?

KZ3 looks a lot better than Crysis 2. Didn't know lems got so defensive they still don't have any good-looking FPSes.

I know everyone has their own opinions..thats good fine and dandy...BUT looking at the videos and stills...Your opinion HAS to be that Killzone kills...it just does..a buddy of mine has both games..SO I just went and checked them out instead of just playing the demos "since a couple of people thought me playing the demos wasnt good enough"....KZ blows Crysis 2 away..NO question and NO argument PERIOD..

gamezone: The game looks utterly stunning and is arguably one of the best-looking shooters on consoles. I'm still undecided whether Crysis 2 looks better than the original game, but the fact that there is a discussion about which looks better speaks volumes on what Crytek was able to accomplish with their engine.

videogamer: It might come up slightly short compared to Killzone 3 in raw mettle, with an occasionally inconsistent framerate on our PS3 version, but the game is leagues ahead in terms of artistic accomplishment.

strategyinformer: Crysis 2 is bloody gorgeous, and by far one of the most polished games we've ever played. Watching the cityscape come crashing down around you in all its HD glory is quite the sight, especially in some of the more open areas midway through the main campaign. Whether you've diving across rooftops or making your way into the heart of an alien hive, it's all jaw-dropping throughout.

gamerevolution: Somehow the team over at Crytek has found a way to make their sequel just as visually remarkable as the original and without the need to spend a fortune on a fancy new video card and extra RAM (on the console at least)

msxbox-world: Crysis may have been the benchmark game on PC but for console owners there might be a new kid on the block as Crysis 2 really is a sight to behold.

metro: Although Crysis 2 swaps an actual jungle for the urban variety, the level of near photorealism remains. Despite the impressive scale the attention to detail is second to none: from hedges that shed leaves as you run through them to the filtering of light through a half-destroyed wall. That all this is running on a middle-aged console, not a state of the art PC, only makes it more impressive.

Digitaltrends:
"Crytek manages to live up to the hype with Crysis 2, the best-looking console game ever made (except for the glitches)."

Gamespot Kevin VanOrd
"Crysis 2 does an admirable job of living up to the original's reputation of sheer technical prowess"

Finally, this wouldn't be a Crysis 2 review without some space dedicated to the game's graphics, would it? This is a gorgeous game, certainly one of the best-looking console titles to date

Crysis 2 for the PlayStation 3 is an exceptional shooter and perhaps the best looking game on the system.

"Again, I've never seen a more beautiful game on a console in my life. It will take years, possibly even the next-generation of consoles, before this is trumped."

There's little doubt that the Xbox 360 is the cleaner, crisper experience and for the most part it commands a small
but significant frame-rate advantage and fewer little glitches; especially outside of combat scenarios,
the game just seems to run that much more smoothly

Lens of Truth
Xbox 360: 29.11 fps
PS3: 26.54 fps

IGN:
"Crysis 2 on Xbox 360 has taken the crown for best graphics in a console game"
Graphics xbox 360 - 9.5 (8.5 for PS3)

So what you are suggesting is that they let OTHER people tell them instead? Interesting? What's your favorite game of all time? Half Li...Oh wait no it's not it's Panda Bear Island 3.

i think that what hes saying is that if THAT many reliable sources are saying baisicly the same thing......well, i mean its kinda hard to form a defense except by saying something along the lines of "i dont listen to other peoples opinions" or "u let othr peepl tell u wut games r gud nao?"slvrraven9

If they're saying anything posititve about Crysis 2 at all, that throws off all seriousness and credibility.

reason?slvrraven9

The game is a borefest and has very overrated visuals.

wow, people are still trying to tell themselves that kz3 looks better than crysis?

*rubbish*

Nice demagogy. Esp. the lens of truth post because lens of truth is the only site that actually compared Killzone 3 to Crysis 2 on some serious level and Killzone 3 was the CLEAR winner.

http://www.lensoftruth.com/head2head-killzone-3-vs-crysis-2-analysis/2/

Also, there is a poll with over 3000 voters and 78% of them (!!!) voted that Killzone 3 looks better. So no - people are not trying to tell themselves anything, its GENERAL OPINION that Killzone 3 looks better.

Also I could post here exactly the same number of links to KZ3 reviews that state its the best looking fps ever on consoles, but Im not going to waste my time on that.

Just watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CBd6QX8nps you either agree that Killzone 3 looks better or you are lying to yourself.

[QUOTE="dotWithShoes"][QUOTE="rich-sac"]

All talk of Crysis 2 on consoles being non linear open world this and that...blah blah. How about try doing quater mile sized Multiplayer maps (Not single player where everything is scripted) with 32 players total, and I'm not even counting the turrets and sentry drones. All gun muzzle lighting creates shadows (list another console game that has this feature?)and all shotgun have an attached flashlight which creates shadows when shined on anything. All @720p (subHD is so last Gen) and even the framerate doesn't choke as bad as the Crysis 2 campaign, none the less the multiplayer. And yes the insane amounts of motion blur, both camera and per object, which is very taxing on hardware, complete with anti aliasing. Still have some of the best explosions/ smoke particles and best character animations. The insane amounts of beautiful lens flare that even Battlefield 3 can't seem to get right. Wow this game was way ahead of it's time. In fact, it pushed the PS3 so far that even the XMB gets laggy. And No Uncharted 2 never beated Killzone 2 graphically. Colors Doesn't = Better graphics.

rich-sac

7,000+ players on week days. 10,000+ on weekends

pretty small considering it's Sony's premier FPS exclusive.

Crysis 2 on consoles looks better as far as I´m concerned.

From http://www.lensoftruth.com/head2head-killzone-3-vs-crysis-2-analysis/

Furthermore, both Crysis 2 and Killzone 3 have a slew of next generation rendering techniques that only high end PC's with decked out SLI graphics cards are able to achieve

Debunked by http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohSQdq4TUt8i.e. running on a single Radeon HD 6650M GPU.

Another one from http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-saboteur-aa-blog-entry

"We're seeing PS3 attacking a visual problem using a method that not even the most high-end GPUs are using."

After above statement, AMD implements it's own MLAA within it's own drivers i.e. the above statement was countered.

Before PS3's MLAA fame, AMD's Iourcha, Yang and Pomianowski suggested a more advanced version of the same basic idea i.e.note that Radeon HD 2900 doesn't have a proper MSAA hardware. Software AA is like returning to Radeon HD 2900's approach to AA i.e. reduce fix function hardware .
