I don't think its fair to compare Killzone 2 to Crysis for one reason. PC > PS3 (360 and any other game system for that matter) everytime. PS3's and 360's are the same around the world and games on consoles are limited to thier consoles capacity. however PC's are practically bound by nothing other than your desire to upgrade a component. There is no doubt that Killzone 2 was an epic achievment in how a game can look on a console, so my question here is, would you like to see Killzone2 Released on teh PC, with options to basically just Turn UP the settings! i mean.. honestly that would blow my mind.

I really love killzone, its a fun game and it feels like i'm immursed in war everytime i play it, and there's no doubt that its amazing looking, anyone that denies that is just in denial, but sometimes i wish i could just run the game through photoshop or somethin, personalize it to my specific tastes a bit yaknow. anyhoo hit up the poll and post some epic pics!

Lets see some Killzone 2 greatest moments and Crysis greatest moments!

Killzone 2 is a console optimized game, in other words it contains filters that would make sense on consoles but not on PC.

Moving it over to PC, having it right in your face, probably wouldn't produce the best quality experience.

Besides it's a PS3 title published by Sony, no chance of it hitting PC.

Well, I'd like to see it on PC, but it's not that I can't live without it.

So, yeah, it would be cool, but it's highly unlikely it'll ever happen.

Well even budget gaming PCs have as much Vram as the entire memory capacity of a console, arguably they could significantly up the art asset resolution to make it look better up close. Config tweaks would also enable players to turn off any blur effects designed to hide imperfections, replacing them with actual AA and AF filtering.

I'd play it on PC, but it's not like there aren't enough shooters already. And while it would be interesting too see it with blur turned down and resolution doubled, imo an inherently bad looking game benefits from PC hardware more than an already good looking one.

Actually the Way KZ2 has been built (using deferred shading, think STALKER;SoC) it would not be able to use those Extra AA Effects, AF would be nice though and boosting the Res could help some of those badly blurred jaggies. The biggest advantage would be from higher res textures and Bump/Occlusion/ Parallax mapping.

Good thread TC! I've always been intrigued by this. Take Crysis and its graphics. It's not only graphics king but its also an open-world game with huge scale. Imagine all the polys, all the textures, lighting used to create one of those levels focussed on the small (relative to Crysis) urban levels of Killzone 2. Imagine all the resources Crysis uses interms of texture filtering and HDR etc but instead of rendering a large open scene with complex geometry such as trees etc and focus it all on a small corridor shooter!

I think you would really have a new graphics king!

You can get AA on in deferred shaded games, as has already been done in a variety of UE3 games. It has to be a worthwhile enough game to get the GPU companies to support it via drivers however.

You only get around 2X AA (if at all for some more fussy cards) and the performance drop is just unreasonable. ME ans SoC both had forceable AA but it was only on Nvidia cards (as far as i know) and it was forceware AA.

It wouldn't even stand out on PC, not with Crysis, Arma 2, Opflash: DR, Battlefield 3, Project Offset and pretty much all other FPS's to compete with.

I think the biggest advantage on the PC would be the mods. Sure the graphics would be upgraded 300%, but with the mods it's more like 3000%. Just look at vanilla Crysis vs. modded Crysis.

The entire point of the game is to showcase the PS3s power. I also think it wouldn't work that well with a mouse since the weapons are supposed to be slower it would feel awkward.

The motion blur and other things are disabled because he messed up the exe. But it looks just like KZ2 imo.

Oh sure mate, sure, the modder probably has more than 50 million dollars and 5 years to catch up with guerrilla.

Avoiding the silly part, that mod looks pretty good.

No it's a terrible controller. I bought it 50% off; was the worst purchase of my life. It doesn't even come close to the feeling of a real mouse. The movements are abrupt and slow (even with sensitivity maxed out). It's actually worse than playing with a controller, if that's possible.

Would like to see it on the pc but there's a problem: It's published by sony. They keep their games exclusive, even after the gen is over.

Just buy a ps3, plug it into your monitor and pretend you are playing a pc game. Problem solved.

It uses far too many filters on the PS3 to make it look the way it does. Put it on the PC, and it probably just wouldn't look right. Plus console FPS games are worse on the PC anyways. Halo always played better on the consoles, and I'm sure Killzone wouldn't feel right with a keyboard/mouse.
