Killzone 3 For PS3: Would Xbox 360 Have the Power?

Killzone 3 is exclusive to Sony PS3. But what if it wasn’t, would the Xbox 360 be able to cope with this type of graphical power?

the 360 would explode ... hahahaha

Istanbull4823d ago

Killzone 3 is 43GB, it would fit on 6 DVD's, even then, the 360 would explode at the main title screen.

Lawliet4823d ago

Did the Xbox360 manage to hit KillZone2 benchmark already? Just asking ...

GodofSackboy4823d ago

@Instanbull

Remember, you gotta put the engine and basic code and stuff on each disk, who knows, could be 7 or 8 disks, LOL

Biggest4823d ago

I'll believe it when I see it. I won't say it doesn't. But I will say that I haven't seen show anywhere near enough power.

DERKADER4823d ago (Edited 4823d ago )

Whatever help you fanboys sleep at night I guess.

P.S. Play games, don't worry about answering theoretical questions to justify your consoles superiority.

kancerkid4823d ago

Even though I have no proof it couldn't (but obviously everyone else here does), I will have to say no (based on the best arbiter of fact -> speculation).

ComboBreaker4822d ago (Edited 4822d ago )

The 360 couldn't even handle Killzone 3 in 2D.
How is the 360 going to hanle Killzone 3 in 3D?

The 360 will probably RRoD trying to render Killzone.

DualConsoleOwner4822d ago

what makes you think KZ3 is possible?

BubbleSniper4823d ago (Edited 4823d ago )

xbox 360 would not have the power because the CELL is what makes these exclusives stand out above the other consoles and in some cases even some PC games.

behind the code the hardware is the bottleneck for the 360 and is why i don't think i will see a game with as much going on as in KZ3 or R3 on the 360.

edit: CELL is very interesting piece of hardware and is different in the way it handles games compared to XENON.

pls don't crap on the PC or PC fanboys. my comment not to take a jab, Fox_Mulder.

offtopic: i have to show restraint cuz mods are watching me.

peace guys.

MarcusFenixITA4823d ago

yes ... the Cell even makes PC-Boys cry like little school-girls

Computersaysno4823d ago

Cry like little schoolgirls? Good lord, you didnt just write that did you? How old are you? Twelve?

How can an old piece of inanimate silicon make Pc gamers cry?

NiKK_4194823d ago

@computersaysno
oh, quit takin it so literal

Computersaysno4823d ago (Edited 4823d ago )

Does not matter how you take it. Its still a ridiculous statement that a child would and should be embarassed to make.

Im a PC gamer, cry like a little girl over my Graphics processor that is ten times faster than your console.

How about not- Pc gamers are far too mature for that kind of nonsense.

NiKK_4194822d ago (Edited 4822d ago )

either way, it wasn't a literal statement, nobody thinks it's gonna make anyone literally cry, just calm down and get off your pedestal, "mature pc gamer"

DEagle-izer4822d ago

@ Computersaysno

A real Mature PC gamer would ignore any attacks entirely.

Answering back brely makes you any better than them

Computersaysno4822d ago (Edited 4822d ago )

"either way, it wasn't a literal statement, nobody thinks it's gonna make anyone literally cry,"

No shit sherlock. If thats your justification for criticising me and not the statement in the first place then there is no hope for you.

"Answering back brely makes you any better than them" No one answered back. I pointed out how stupid the statement was. Again, if you would rather moan about that than the initial statement, my above reply applies to you, too.

Can they look better on five year old PC hardware? Probably not. They can only look as good. They would look a lot better on four year old hardware however. Lets hope PC gamers dont all own five year old hardware then. I'm guessing they dont and your 'fact' is simply your opinion. Thus another ridiculous comment Saga kin. You only have one bubble? Im shocked.

if 360 has the power, what are they waiting for?

Masterchef20074822d ago

exactly if people keep saying that the 360 is more powerful than the PS3. Why are all the best looking games on the PS3? I mean seriously with a super easy to develop system thats more powerful than the PS3 they should produce better looking games than it. As the brits say "the proof is in the pudding"

Gamer_Z4822d ago (Edited 4822d ago )

Behold the power of the Xbox!

Inside_out4822d ago (Edited 4822d ago )

How many games on PS3 look and play like Killzone???...NoNe...It's pretty simple...good devs make good games. Killzone 3 is the best looking PS3 game IMO.

Can it be played on a 360 as is???...NO...the game has been designed using the very different architecture of the PS3 and would require extensive reprogramming to run on 360. It would be great to find out if it could but KZ and Guerrilla are Sony EXCLUSIVE.

It doesn't matter...there are many great looking games running on 360 that are doing things that PS3 games are not or can't do...who cares.

Killzone 3 runs at a standard 720p/30fps. Whats so extraordinary??? Don't get me wrong it looks great but people act like it's magic or something.

What game on PS3 can do or is doing what is being shown in this multi-player video...

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Halo Reach was a stunning game. The game engine is a heavily modified last gen engine...and it still looks terrific...

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Alan wake looked INCREDIBLE. The game engine is built around what the dev wants to focus on...everything CHOOSEN by the dev is chosen to create a game with a feel and look all its own...AW looks like no other...

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

People get hung up on some technical aspect of the game but miss the big picture. The team behind the games make decisions on how best to present the game to accommodate GAME PLAY. I doubt many devs are sitting around saying lets make a game in 1080p, everyone will love it...lol. At the end of the day, Game play, atmosphere and story will be the determining factor if a game is good or not.

Killzone 2 was heavily criticized for it's game play, not it's graphics. KZ 3 is again being criticized for it's game play and story while pointing out how great it looks..." it's de-ja-vu all over again "...lol.

FrigidDARKNESS4823d ago (Edited 4823d ago )

of Course the 360 have the power to run KZ3 but not for disk space size. This article is nothing more than flaimbait presumably by a ps3 fanboy. Why do they think KZ3 is the holy grail of gaming when games like Brink Rage and Crysis 2 destroys it visually.

Optical_Matrix4823d ago

Not on consoles. I've just got off the Killzone 3 beta, and had the Crysis 2 MP demo for a week. The KZ3 demo DESTROYS Crysis 2 on the 360 visually. Make no mistake.

FrigidDARKNESS4823d ago

m still waiting for the KZ3 beta to show up in the psn store in my time zone. can't wait to play it.

@frigiddarkness
damage control for your first comment? oh ok i see what you're doing
@tucky dude, shut up

kancerkid4823d ago

I can guarentee that a majority of the disc space is taken up by video. All they have to use is a better codec to compress it, and it would easily fit, most likely.

When Digital Foundry does their investigation of the game, I will probably be proven right.

Godmars2904823d ago (Edited 4823d ago )

Thing is, when are Brink, Rage and Crysis 2 coming out on consoles so they can be properly evaluated?

Would also like to know KZ3's file size as well as what's the best graphically recognized title on the 360. If its just a 360 game.

theonlylolking4822d ago

Those 3 games on xbox cant even come close to anything on PS3 or PC.

TKCMuzzer4823d ago

If you have the opportunity to play the Crysis 2 beta on the 360 and the Killzone 3 beta, then go for it. Unless your are 360 through and through the Crysis 2 beta visually nowhere near stands up to Killzone 3. Yes I have both, but my eyes are immune to fanboyism.
Killzone 3 looks better, it's that simple.

bageara4823d ago

I was in the Brink beta and while its a good game it doesnt come close to KZ3 in anyway, sorry to disapoint

NotSoSilentBob4823d ago

Make sure to let HigHopGuesser know that as he still maintains Brink looks better then KZ2.

xTruthx4822d ago

"Are you blind ?"
"Call of duty, halo, etc ... all are a lot better graphically"

Come on... you have to agree thats an epic lol

make sure you search for the killzone 3 beta in the store, it wasn't listed for me but if you search for it, it's there.

plb4823d ago

Thanks for the tip. Downloading now.

plb4823d ago (Edited 4823d ago )

Simple answer..Nope. I'm not trying to make fun of Xbox but if it cannot pull off FFXIII as the PS3 does then no way can it handle KZ3. Forget KZ3 just look at GoW III and UC2/3 etc..cannot do that either.

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor345d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar345d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg344d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz149344d ago

I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.

man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!

Vengeance1138345d ago

32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III

Shane Kim345d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC345d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

Vengeance1138345d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle345d ago

lol you are comparing:

HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)

HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)

We will see if it surpass original number.

Phoenix76344d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.

Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.

I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.

blacktiger344d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca345d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy345d ago (Edited 345d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal344d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright344d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.

Still looks secure 2 gens later... one of my favorite ps3 moments. With 3D and move the game is on another level

MadLad1095d ago

PC almost always ends up the best place to play games, even if it takes a while.

What would you rather play decades down the line? A game at a fixed resolution and frame, considering you have a working disc, and the hardware?
Or run it on an emulator that can update the experience all around, and let you use whatever control input you prefer?

If you insist on the former, it's really only for the sake of nostalgia.

Applejack1095d ago

I disagree. The main draw for consoles has always be the simplicity of just putting the disc in / downloading it and playing without worrying about anything else. The average person just wouldn’t want to deal with emulation even though it’s very important for preservation.

Terry_B1095d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1095d ago

Youre getting flak because people on here thibk of themselves as pc wizards. But honestly most poeple try and go get emulators and romz they end up with malware.. yes theyre "easy" if you know the basics but alot of people dont. That said the fact that its taken nearly 20 years to get a sustantially better experience for ps3 games than on its native system shows the complexity of getting bc to work. Sony, if they have any intention, should just invest in a vastly better psnow experience.

1095d ago
Vegamyster1095d ago

jukins

Most people who emulate don't get malware, you'd have to be going to some weird sites for that to happen, heck years ago people were getting sketchier ad's resulting in malware warning on this site if you didn't have a ad-blocker lol.

SinkingSage1095d ago

Can't get malware if you legally dump your own games, which you should.

Rachel_Alucard1095d ago (Edited 1095d ago )

That's fine if that's the main draw, but it doesn't make it a better experience, just a preference. Having the freedom to do the things you can do on PC is what the appeal of PC is. Buying a game on PC means you never have to worry about the console makers just deciding the next hardware shouldn't support the generation anymore, which means everything you bought is stuck on that hardware instead of moving up with everything else. Nintendo uses this tactic to keep reselling the same games over and over at inflated prices. Sony cut all previous gens off the PS4 and sold it back to people in a poor attempt with PSnow. While the PS5 supports PS4 games, that may not be the case in the next gen after this. No to mention shutting off all the previous stores and updates completely. Even MS stopped making new BC titles at some point, so now there's a big list with 17 pages of titles that are not playable on Xbone and are just trapped on older gen. That's not a problem on PC, the reverse happens where you only have to worry if your hardware can play the newest releases at ultra with no issue.

MadLad1095d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1095d ago

Well that's the beauty of still owning a retro console tho. Those who usually complain about emulation are just being blindly loyal to a company. Emulation is great for many reason, but if I still owned the console then I disagree nothing beats plugging it back in and going down a nostalgia trip

Top 10 PS3 Games We Hope Come Back On PS5

While Xbox has committed to backwards compatibility spanning four generations, PlayStation has continued their stance that the feature isn't important. Well, it is! I'm hoping these PlayStation 3 classics that skipped the PS4 entirely show up again on the PS5 for everyone to enjoy.

Resistance, Dead Space franchise, Splatterhouse, Lollipop Chainsaw, Brutal Legends, Alice Madness Returns, Enslaved Journey to the West, Mass Effect franchise. Also wouldn't mind seeing a new Wild Arms game remake or HD remaster, the Xenosaga trilogy, a new Parasite Eve, a new Dino Crisis just too many games to list that are forgotten and left in the dark now adays.

Sciurus_vulgaris1273d ago

The PS3 is difficult to emulate. PS3 backwards compatibility on PS5 would require translation from PowerPC to x86. Additionally the PS5 likely would have to mimic the PS3’s GPU and CPU.

This is what pops up on my web browser. So I can't even read the site. So, forget that. They don't need my data.

But let's get something straight. OG Xbox had around 1,001 games. How many are BC on Series X? **39** THIRTY NINE. Come on! That's wack BC. You can't tell me that's a complete list. Talking about commitment. Game preservation. Ridiculous. Covers nothing.

How many games released on Xbox 360? Around 2085. How many are BC?
568. That's it. Around 1,517 are **MISSING** Stop playing. Tired of that nonsense.

Anyway, the only games I really want from PS3 that would be awesome are Motorstorm and MGS4. I'll take BC. I'll take a remaster. I'll take a remake. If not those, then Killzone 2. And in VR, maybe Sports Champions, House of the Dead Overkill and the Time Crisis games.

That's all I need. But we've gone over BC again and again in every possible way. It wasn't that important because Sony sold 115 million consoles without it. That's proof enough with no outcry. And PS5 has damn near all 4,000+ PS4 games BC. It's not PS1,PS2 and PS3. But that's plenty. I'll take more but you get what you get.
