KZ3 looks much better on that vid but then again Crysisi 2 on PC will probably own every console shooter graphics-wise.kuraimen
That won't stop the fanboys from saying KZ3 looks better than Crysis 2 PC sadly.
Id take duke nukem forever over both of these games.dukenukemownsu
Yeah the single player will be better.
They both look boring as all hell. millerlight89
Yeah, but Crysis 2 looks worse sadly, I hope they can improve both games though.

cant judge crysis 2 from only one small map that might be made for smaller matches to begin with.

Judging by the visuals alone, Killzone 3 has an upperhand, it ran so smooth and visually looked stunning.

With Crysis 2 it looks alright, it had some frame rate dips and lots of pop ins, it looks a lot like MW2 on crack to be honest.

I haven't played crysis ever though, so I wouldn't know how it handles, I may or may not change my opinion when I have both games in my hand and I have a built opinion.

Looks better visually. Better artstyle and much cleaner, sharper graphics. Killzone 3 graphics are all over the place. I can't even tell a peice of concrete rubble from a peice of metal. Looks bad imo.

Probably, but the game might get knocked down if it doesn't have a lot of depth to it, which most seem to care about nowadays.

True. In various vids of KZ3 you see some textures that are well designed and with some nice mapping, in others you see some bland naked texture that you can't figure out what it is supposed to be, and in others you see both at the same time. Then again KZ2 was also like that and it didn't stopped the fanboys to proclaim it the Crysis slayer or something.

I don't see how anyone can argue over this crap video quality, even HD youtube vids are compressed from their original size... Oh and without looking at the video we already know the outcome: Crysis PC > Killzone 3 > Crysis Consoles. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRLl5C1xaUs

Crysis 2 = pwnt :)

Great vid, looks better than Crysis 2 in 360 in my book. I still would choose Warhead to show how fun sniping in Crysis could be:

That level of detail seems to be the standard these days. C2, BC2, MoH, and Black Ops, I believe all have fantastic gun models.

Not from the pictures he posted it doesn't. From other sources and videos I would say they are about even. However, the style Crysis has is better. It may be how it is "supposed to look," but it looks dull. None of the matters though, as I said earlier, I think both look quite boring.

I love how some people will rip on me for using direct feed HQ HD video(6800Kbps) for screengrabs and gifs, plus general comparison, but some of these same folks pass judgement on these games on the basis of crappy youtube vids and junk screengrabs, some of which have altered aspect ratios. That my friends is hypocrisy.

I posted it to show the difference in art direction. Killzone 3 looks terrible when it comes to color balance and definition, while Crysis 2s colors are finely juxtaposed. Killzone 3 looks like someone flicked a paintbrush with 3 shades of brown at a canvas.

Because Crysis 2 is one of the potential graphics king saviours that the lemmings have. So if it is better than KZ3 that cows are now hyping as the new graphics king, it's on! 8)

Ok Ok, just because you can't bring yourself to admit that Killzone doesn't look like a painting from every screen shot and gif, doesn't mean you have to rag on it as "someone flicked a paintbrush with 3 shades of brown at a canvas", can't you bring yourself to give some credit when its due? Incidentally, I think Killzone's art direction is fantastic, it may not be a colourful map but it still is very nicely detailed. Crysis 1 lookes waaaaaaaaaay better than 2 from what I've seen so far and its looking like the less inspired game when it comes to art direction.

You can't tell from this build (or map) but C1 and 2 have the roughly same [fantastic] art direction.

But C2 is coming out on the PS3 also. How is that helping the lemmings?

Short sighted cows can't let go of their "exclusives" like KZ2 and UC2 that are supposed graphics king for them and them only. That's obvious in this thread.

I would give credit if it WAS due. Killzone tries way to hard with it's visuals. I mean, I know it's an eradiated wasteland, but do you really need to apply a brown filter to the entire screen? It shows a lack of confidence in their art direction if you ask me. Especially compared to Stalker, which is also set in a nuclear wasteland. And I've said MANY times that Killzone has the best animations I've ever seen in a game.

Just look.

The game should be called Killzone 3: Colors. Each level has a different color filter!

As opposed to Stalker:

Killzone looks forced, and synthetic, while Stalkers looks believable.

I posted it to show the difference in art direction. Killzone 3 looks terrible when it comes to color balance and definition, while Crysis 2s colors are finely juxtaposed. Killzone 3 looks like someone flicked a paintbrush with 3 shades of brown at a canvas.

Ok Ok, just because you can't bring yourself to admit that Killzone doesn't look like a painting from every screen shot and gif, doesn't mean you have to rag on it as "someone flicked a paintbrush with 3 shades of brown at a canvas", can't you bring yourself to give some credit when its due? Incidentally, I think Killzone's art direction is fantastic, it may not be a colourful map but it still is very nicely detailed. Crysis 1 lookes waaaaaaaaaay better than 2 from what I've seen so far and its looking like the less inspired game when it comes to art direction.

I would give credit if it WAS due. Killzone tries way to hard with it's visuals. I mean, I know it's an eradiated wasteland, but do you really need to apply a brown filter to the entire screen? It shows a lack of confidence in their art direction if you ask me. Especially compared to Stalker, which is also set in a nuclear wasteland. And I've said MANY times that Killzone has the best animations I've ever seen in a game.

Just look.

The game should be called Killzone 3: Colors. Each level has a different color filter!

As opposed to Stalker:

Killzone looks forced, and synthetic, while Stalkers looks believable.

Is it me of the first screens from Killzone look better than those stalker screen you posted.? Maybe you are getting bad ones or low spec ones those are not impressive at all.

Second Stalker and any PC game should surpass Killzone 3 without problem,the specs are higher as simple as that there is no shame in that,is not like stalker is running on 360 looking as good as on PC,i don't know but the reasons you use to downgrade Killzone 3 are silly,second and the biggest part Killzone is not based on earth,so every building,or colors should look like everthing on earth does.

From where i see it you are just looking for silly excuses to downplay something that look incredible already,the level of graphics show in Killzone 3 multiplaying beat almost all games on 360 single player which say allot,because games tend to look better in single player than in multiplayer,but Killzone manage to keep those great graphics there when many other games loss them.

Also what i have see so far is 1 stage,so how can i judge a palete of colors of a complete game by just 1 map,what i have see in the artic stage look incredible,with snow,waves hitting ice burgs things falling down destrutible environment it is just great,now i am not downplaying Crysis 2 in any way,but i think like i say that Crysis 2 will look better but on PC on 360 or PS3 i think Killzone 3 will beat it quite easy.
