The Ultimate Showdown (Crysis 2 vs Killzone 3)

Killzone 3 (so far)

yeah man, it's so different and new

Firebird-5

Blood is the same!

Exact same game confirmed!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would have to say Killzone 3...

The flashy screen thing in Crysis 2 was annoying...very annoying...

[QUOTE="treedoor"]

Why is Killzone 3 in the competition?

More like Rage vs Crysis 2

treedoor

Because so far Killzone 3 looks more impressive than both.

Corridor shooter? I don't think so.

Much more impressed so far with the environments in Rage and Crysis, and the character models for Rage are incredible. Oh, and Rage runs at 60fps :D

I know cows are having a hard time letting it go but this should really be between Rage and Crysis 2. Don't worry Cows you guys can play them also :D

Ultra_Combo

The whole atmosphere on both the games is so ridiculously over done. Killzone looks like someone turned up the contrast to max and Crysis 2 has more smoke than a house on fire. Damn I rant about the most stupid things:roll:

trailer vs. trailer

i thought the Killzone 3 trailer was better

tho i found the Crysis 2 trailer more annoying so that knocked it down

that said i'm more excited to play Crysis 2 than Killzone 3

Jeez. How is this even a legitimate question?

I will probably buy both but if this video shows Killzone 3 in alpha stage, then I cannot imagine how good it will be when it releases.

Killzone 3 gets my vote after watching this non-3D video.

I know poll mean so much in SW yes? Sure I guess Kz3 could be in the argument the point stands that 2 multiplats look as good as ANYTHING on PS3 :)

I guess since Rage comes out after KZ3 I guess it's in pre pre Alpha, wow imagine how much better it will look when it comes out.

I liked the Killzone 3 trailer better, the cutting in and out of the Crysis 2 trailer annoyed me.

Technically, the graphics engine isn't actually pre-alpha. It's still the same one from Killzone 2, but they've improved it a bit.

Uh Yah I think ID pedigree is a little better then GG and by a little I mean a huge margin. Multiplat has nothing to do with it, I know it's hard to accept.

Hm, I doubt it, Rage is not using 3D, nor does it have half as many particle effects and destruction as in Killzone 3. It focuses only on texture. It wont impress like Killzone 3 does with all its incredible effects and detail on armor and every character.

Reading through the responses in this thread made me die a little inside.

Is this really what I have to associate myself with when I say I'm a gamer?

Rage looks better then both.

Rage>Crysis 2>Killzone3

I think Killzone 3 vs Gears 3 is a better showdown.

Please just stop posting that. It is embarassing for you.

I could tear apart that entire article. KZ3 is certainly doing some things better, but MegaTextures are EXTREMELY impressive tech and make a huge difference. The visuals in RAGE are easily on the same level.

Crysis 2 = Killzone 3 > Rage

...

Back on topic: I actually preferred Crysis 2's trailer - it felt mysterious and somehow sinister, which is something I really like. Completely subjective, of course, though Killzone 3's trailer showed off the game really well.

This one...by little...

This is KZ2 with that good ass lighting,better textures and bigger scale.KZ3 is KZ2 in daytime,with better AA and textures and no HDR.

Got to say KZ3 from what I've seen though I am looking forward to Crysis 2 as well.

Crysis 2

In all honesty this is how I see it...

Crysis 2= Rage > Gears 3 > Killzone 3 although I will admit that I flip flop back in forth between Rage and Crysis 2 because the thought of Rage at 60fps is too tasty!

Mind you all of these titles look great but if you look at Crysis 2, Rage and Gears 3 they all are sporting a cleaner look than Killzone 3. I don't know what it is but as good as KZ3 looks there is something off with it at least when it stands next to the other three titles. As I've said many times before....

Killzone 3 has great gun models and some decent lighting in some spots. But where things start to go down hill (at least compared to the other 3 titles) is when you look past the gun models into the environment. KZ3 has this blurry smudgy look to it and although none of the textures in all 4 of these games are perfect I feel that KZ3 has the worst. Also KZ3 is sporting some low poly "lego-like" structures/buildings. It looks weird. Just compare the structures/buildings in KZ3 and the other games. It is very hard to notice but the difference is there. It's as if someone said hey take this lego block and use it to finish off this building structure:lol:I wonder if this has to do with the quirky GPU and memory of the PS3? It's easy to overlook the shortcomings of KZ3 because of the nice looking gun models and also when the action gets frenetic.

I still have a hard time believing that the Crysis 2 footage is representative of the console builds. Just looks too freaking amazing. It's largely the same footage as what was shown at E3 and said to be the 360 build by a Crytek dev. I don't know what to say.

KZ3 has better character animations, just like Rage but Crysis2 has better everything else. The Crysis2 vid on this thread is insane!!!

[QUOTE="treedoor"]

[QUOTE="Afrojitsu"]

Another post-apocalyptic, Fallout 3/Borderlands/Shadow of Chernobyl clone? I don't think so ;)

DarkLink77

Because the theme of the game has everything to do with graphics amirite? :roll:

Shadow of Chernobyl had been in development since 2001...

They seem to do things better than another to say which is better overall.

I'm talking about buildings, structures, platforms, whatever....any type of structure, etc..Whether it be a mining station, building or individual platform,an individual piece of steel plate, whatever it is..... it just looks less defined, small and as if it uses a low poly count. Also just because Crysis 2 will look more or less similar to the 360 does not mean that Guerilla could've struggled with the pS3 hardware moreso than Crytek. As I said before what i'm talking about is very hard to notice but for some reason is very noticeable to me.

[QUOTE="T-razor1"]

[QUOTE="i_am_interested"] the buildings? what buildings are you talking about, theres only main building and its not even a building, its a mining station in the artic for mining ore and why are you even mentioning the ps3 gpu when crysis 2 is going to have all the visuals of its 360 counterparti_am_interested

But what I'm talking about has nothing to do with artistic style.I know perfectly well the kind of look and artistic style that Guerilla was aiming for and for the most part they did a decent job of that. But what I'm saying is that the structures, buildings platforms, etc... in this industrial wasteland are not very well defined (low poly count) and almost give the individual structures, beams, platforms etc.. an amateur look....hence why I used the term lego blocks.

Best gameplay and controls maybe ever for a FPS

not sure if i follow you, feel free to point out the low poly structures youre talking about

im not posting the pic for texture purposes,

he specifically keeps mentioning low poly structures so im interested in seeing the low poly areas he keeps mentioning

@ interested...

I'm just going to leave it alone. As I said it's something really hard to explain or notice at all but it's something I personally see. But it's all good because as I said all four of these games look great. I just personally feel that KZ3 is bringing up the rear in comparison albeit not by much.
