Video comparison: Killzone 2 vs. Gears of War

Killzone looks better to me, and I don't find it hard to come to that conclusion.

That's not to say Gears doesn't look amazing, cause it does, but Killzone looks better graphically I think. Will the gameplay be amazing too? I'm certainly hoping so.

Graphics, graphics graphics. Blah, blah, blah.

Sure KZ2 looks decent but until the gameplay is proven who cares?

Also is there any co-op through the campaign? Any details on the multiplayer?

With the next-gen games its much more than a short, good looking single player experience.

Until some other details emerge about KZ2 it is merely another FPS with a "weather weapon" gimmick.

Uhm why do people cling to the fact that Geow2 is gonna look phenomenal?? I mean the U3 engine is almost pushed to it's limits look at the UT3 engine that is suppose to "top" Geow it looks only barely better...

I am not saying that the engine "sux lolool" I am just saying it has already shown most of it's potential...

By that logic Killzone enigne will always top the U3 engine... Killzone 3 > Geow 2 etc.

Have they confirmed gears of war 2 will run on the UT 3 engine. They surely have 4 in developement or at least an upgraded version of 3.

Wow, I didn't know you had a damn chainsaw on your gun in gears! That s##t looks tight! I heard it was dull from a close friend, but I'll try it for myself one day.

But other than that. I'd call it a tie. Both of 'em looks great. But you can't really compare KZ to GeOW yet can you? They should do this video when KZ comes out.

I watched it 3 times to make sure andI think gears looks better. The 3rd part with gears did not look to great but that was online play not single player. It is hard to tell from just the little bit shown but the AI did not look good for KZ2 also. They either just stood there or the one time watched him run up the stairs with no shooting and then just run to the player when he reached top of stairs.

Well I think it really depends on what people prioritize. Killzone 2 is much smoother at this point in time but in terms of normal mapping and bump mapping Gears is undeniably the winner right now.

The AI didn't look amazing in either of those in the videos and I think you also need to remember that in Killzone 2 they had them playing in god mode.

When KZ2 is an actual game available to play - then make the comparison.

I find it odd that thePS3 launched one full year behind yet struggles to compare to a 360 game that has been out for months and played to death.

The PS3 fails to show the extra power and high tech it should have had over the 360.

As far as I know the Dev. has been hard at work on KZ2 for at least two years.

KZ2 will hit the street when?

One other odd thing - the two titles ( RFOM & now KZ2 )that PS3 fans love and hype are shooters !

Is the PS3 the new - All it has are shooters games console. j/k ;)

You know, any sane person would think a game with over a year of extra development (KZ2) would look better. It's a darn shame cows are not in that category

I've watched the KZ2 trailer on my PS3 at least 6 times and I've come to the conclusion that only the animations in KZ2 are superior to GEOW. Everything else, the two games are on par with each other.

[QUOTE="Flexmaster_365"]To answer the thread question. Gears 1 looks a lot better graphics wise.freshfighter83

...which leads me to wonder:

If Gears looks so much better than Killzone 2 already, why feel the need to keep invoking Gears 2--a nominally nonexistent game--to defend your position?

Becaise as you said this is Alpha the game will most likely look a little better by releasem and it does have Gears beat in a couple of areas. I just wanted to make it clear though that Gears is an old game and that Gears 2 will look much better.

Post an example of a sequel looking "much better" on the same platform. I want to see what kind of jump you are expecting.

Some of my thoughts. Halo 2 overall looked quite a bit better than the 1st one. PGR Series, PGR 2 was quite an improvement over the 1st one. Resident Evils on PS 1 improved massively over the 1st one as well as the Tomb Raider series. Virtue Fighter on Sega saturn compared to Virtue Fighter 2 aren't even comparable. Sonic Series on the megadrive improved dramatically.In my opinion the jump will be noticiable but I have no idea by how much.It could be heaps or it could be minimal but there will definatly be an improvement, in some rare instances sequels have looked worse but sometimes these have been intentional as the game may be more advanced in other areas.

QFT!!:)

Halo2 looked far better than Halo when it came out.

[QUOTE="Flexmaster_365"]By the time Killzone 2 comes out, Gears 2 will be released with much better visuals. fuzzysquash

Killzone 2 will be out in early 08....Gears 2 won't even be announced until E3 08.

Agree.

2006 vs 2008 nuff said.

It is expected for killzone 2 to have better graphics.

LosDaddie

Yes, but considering a video game is a moving image, I'd say animation was the most important element of graphics.

I was going to debate it, but then I realized I was wrong. Still Halo 2 didn't come out 2 years after Halo 1.

Doesn't matter. Halo2 came out on the same console and looked far better than Halo.

At least you're man enough to admit when you're wrong. I wish that could be said for the rest of the cows here.
