LoT: Killzone 2 vs Crysis 2. Killzone 2 wins

Doesn't Crysis 2 have some variety in it? Like foliage etc. KZ2 seems to be 2 colors.........gray and black.DudeNtheRoom

and green, red, blue, white, orange, and yellow, too! :)

I like how Crysis 2 looks more because it actually has more color to it.

Killzone 2 does look awesome, though.

Crysis 2 begins to look more and more like a huge failure eveytime I hear something new about it. Good thing I have never really been hyped for it.Master_ShakeXXX

maybe on consoles but never PC NEVER!

Doesn't surprise me. Crysis 2 didn't even look that great from what I saw.

I'll wait until DF compares them. LoT ain't that great.

If DF does a comparison, it'll most likely be between Killzone 3 and Crysis 2. Even better than that should be the 360/PS3 versions!

As for LoT's comparison: KZ2 is too dark and blurry, so I can't tell :P.

talk about brainless ''comparisons''they are comparing the final product vs a work in progress..that Crysis 2 demo is some really old build,yet they don't realize the tech behind crysis 2 is ahead of that of kz2.

Why does a game have to have every color of the spectrum to please you? Killzone 2 was in a setting that called for an art style that lacked pretty colors. Helghan is not a pretty planet. And even so, I thought GG threw in enough colors. The first level looked very good, the one where you crash on the beach? In the levels that took place at night as you were invading the city, the orange and yellow fires provided a very noticeable contrast to the rest of the scene and was very pleasing to the eye. The fantastic lighting that threw strokes of green and purple across your screen, did no one notice that? It's not about having your screen explode in a rainbow of colors for 12 hours straight. GG peppered in the right amount of color at the right times for the game that they were making. Maybe if you play games for color, then... I dunno. Stop.Not-A-Stalker

Killzone 2 isnt rendering everything in realtime. alot of stuff is prebaked. Where as with Crysis 2 mostly everything is in realtime

For that video my eyes shifted to C2 almost the entire time...better colors with more interesting environments and better non pre-baked lighting is more appealing to my eyes I guess...

It should be said graphics have been decreased with crysis 2 multiplayer so it runs better. But from that crysis 2 still looks better... The engine stomps killzone in everyway because most of it is in realtime.

LoT... LoL!

I'll start by saying its kinda pointless comparing a finished title with a demo version.. However I think many gamers are used to Crysis1 on PC and its amazing visuals, therefore seeing C2 running on consoles they feel unimpressed...

I still believe C2 will look great on consoles however it might not be on par visually with KZ3...

[QUOTE="worknow222"][QUOTE="Zophar87"]

I rest my case. ;)

Quite!

It's just their opinion, and they even say that at the end of the article. So there's no need to take anything they say as fact. :P

killzone 2 is so dark i cant see jack.

gotcha, so no "dynamic" lighting. Would that not just be a limitation of the engine/hardware then? Genuine question, i've not been up to scratch on hardware n such for a long time.WAJ

you either havent played the game or else you got the brightness/contrast settings wrong :P

I don't know why people think KZ2 looks good. Looks horrible to me. The textures are so bad and the blur effect is overdone.

inb4 the one or two good ground textures that KZ2 has.

I'll get hated on for this but to me Black Ops is a far more visually appealing game in the SP campaign (the MP looks horrible though). So much more colour, environments and sharper textures. Decent lighting too and it all runs at 60FPS.

Edit: Also, in the LOT comparison vid, to me Crysis 2 looks like a much better game graphically.

Anyone notice how LOT avoided using this map from the Beta?

Very selective... LOL

I think its still too late which CONSOLE GAME has the best graphics, cause Crysis 2 isnt even out yet, and we are all just playing a buggy beta version.

the worst possible out come is that Crysis 2 ON CONSOLES has great campagin graphics but dumbed down MP graphics.

I could careless, as long a game looks good, and runs well then theres nothing to complain about.

Yet, according to them, the demo only looks slightly inferior! Let´s wait for the final game.
