Killzone to use RayTracing

Lol what the hell? Do people really believe that's raytracing? :lol:

God rays + bloom has been done before, it's the same effect that for example, Crysis and Clear Sky use and it's NOT raytracing. We aren't gonna see REAL raytracing in games for a loooong time.

Killzone uses ray tracing. How many PC games use it?0

[QUOTE="nVidiaGaMer"]Yep Killzone 2 will easily do raytracing. The Cell is amazing when the developers know how to work it. nVidiaGaMer

Yes you are right im wrong now go play your outdated "allmighty cell" that was outdated even before it was released

I can tell you are against the PS3. The cell is way more powerful then you think and Killzone 2 can do raytracing try that on your PC. :lol:

For those who don't know

Ray tracing is an over-rated lighting method often misconcepted by fanboys who don't really understand the tech to exaggerate the processing power of the supported hardware.

Watch the video and tell me its an "over-rated lighting method"

the lighting is possible the best iv ever seen on a consols

Well as it was overhyped by you to be able to create any conceivable representation of light, he has a point. I wasn't impressed by the lighting to the point where it was life-like, as according to you, it should be. Clearly they didn't take that much advantage of the technology.

You just make yourself look stupid and you are not even funny if you are trying to be sarcastic

He's not this kid thinks KZ2 looks better than crysis and that the dumbed down cell , you know not the real cell chip..ya know the dumbed down one they put in the PS3 is more powerful that any computer :lol:

It looks better then anything I've seen in any game. The lighting that is. Nothing comes close. The lense flare too from the Sun.

Hmm... I wonder if he meant to say Rasterization.cronus233

It's very little use of Ray tracing or it would kill the PS3:|agentzero23

Sounds as likely as Crysis running in 2400P on a Geforce 4.

yawn

killzone 2's graphics are extremely overrated

Also,would the reflection in the visor of MC in Halo 3 be considered Ray-Tracing?killab2oo5

I doubt a PC with a 7800 card and a dual core would be able to produce graphics on par with Killzone 2. Its all about optimization.

crysis and killzone2 have flat/2d fire...doom3's is 3d.woobabooba

I don't understand.

I don't understand.

crysis/killzone2 fire changes to whatever direction you are facing.

doom3 the fire coming out of broken pipes you can see is totally round/3d.

doom3 lighting is still the best...no other game let's you hide in the shadows like doom3.

in doom3 online play there will be a dark corner and someones chasing me i jump into the corner and they just run past me lol.

Omg you again, with your Doom 3 hype :P

STALKER has better lighting than Doom 3, and it has probably the best lighting in any game, especially with the Float 32 mod. It's totally dynamic, the sun casts it's own shadows as well as all other light sources. It even supports global illumination.

Far Cry 2 will come close and I think Killzone 2 will have way better lighting then Stalker.

nah....differed render is complete crap dude crappy for lighting.

so is global illumination.

stalker's lighting is very poor....you cant truly hide in shadows like doom3 or any game.

For god sake don't feed him! lol

nVidiaGaMer

Haha lol no! Killzone 2's lighting is fixed, it's just pre-rendered shadowmaps. STALKER has fully dynamic lighting, the shadows move when the sun moves. Besides, STALKER is easily a lot more impressive considering that it has a huge world to render and AI moves in the background all the time, while Killzone 2 is just a generic linear shooter.

I guess the cell does come in handy

can you say future graphics king confirmed? :D

Definitions of Ray Tracing

"A >rendering technique, based on complex mathematical algorithms, to accurately represent any conceivable representation of light"

No, I can't. gears of War 2-

For god sake don't feed him! lol

DAZZER7

But I must! :P

lol stalkers lighting is not better doom3's.woobabooba

Yes it is. I have both games and Doom 3's lighting is nothing impressive. STALKER has to render huge outdoor areas while having dynamic sun shadows, Doom 3 is just a corridoor shooter.

Don't call Killzone 2 bad until its out. Killzone 2 looks way better then Stalker. And even if the lighting is fixed or not doesn't matter all that matters is how good it looks. Stalker can't come close to Killzone 2.

lol stalker=shadows arent dark enough to hide a person.

lighting fails

Im pretty sure Mirror's Edge lightning is way better than killzone 2 's

Killzone 2 will look like **** if it wasnt for the lightning and the abuse of the motion blur

lol....doom3's lighting is more complex...all stalker has is 1 sun lighting a level....doom3 maps have multiple light sources/casting shadows.

No it wouldn't. The animations are top notch as is everything else.

this day/night time cycle had already been done on doom3 by a mapper along time ago...had true day/night time....where it was pure pitch black at night.

You haven't played the game or you are blind. Not dark enough?! They are TOO dark, I can't see sh.. if I don't have night vision on.

STALKER does not only have FULLY DYNAMIC lighting from the sun, it also has many light sources which all cast shadows.

Have you really played both games like I have? Honestly?

nVidiaGaMer

Lol! Sure! You probably have played STALKER with graphics/lighting mods, maxed out in 1080p+ like I have. Killzone 2 is a goddamn corridor shooter, and still it's graphics can't even compare to games like Crysis and STALKER that have huge open worlds with stuff going on all the time. Face it, Killzone 2 might be the console graphics king, but it can't compete with the best - aka PC.

Yeah 1080P vs. 720P. Put Stalker on 720P and compare it to Killzone 2 at 720P and it will destroy Stalker. I maxed Stalker on my comp at 1280x1024 and it doesn't come close to Killzone 2. So many games look better Bioshock, COD4, Gears of War, just to name a few.

The resolution doesn't matter, higher resolution only hides jaggies. STALKER at 720p looks just as good as at 1080p, only with less jaggies. STALKER looks thousand times better than Bioshock, LOL COD4?!, Gears of War and will look better than Killzone 2.
