Shadow Fall is a launch title but looks better IMO !

shutUpAndTakeMyMoney3958d ago (Edited 3958d ago )

Well One is made to be next gen and one is made to push the bar but made with ps3 & 360 in mind.

Now compare to bf4 pc.

I would say killzone is about on par but that crysis 3 grass is unbeatable.

ZodTheRipper3958d ago (Edited 3958d ago )

One runs on a 400$ console and one runs on a 800$+ PC. But comparing visuals with Youtube videos isn't really meaningful anyway so this article is pretty pointless imo.

papashango3958d ago (Edited 3958d ago )

Crysis 2&3 sucked Killzone 2&3 sucked yet here we are discussing both because of graphics.

I thought you console folk were all about Gameplay>graphics anyway?

What gives?

IcyEyes3958d ago (Edited 3958d ago )

Video comparison are stupid and pointless and it's sad how many people just get this bait and start to write such awesome, pointless opinion.

In real life EVERYTHING is a lot more different.

Please, do a favor to yourself and next time, avoid this video.

Ps I saw and play both game (of course all of us can play Crysis 3) and I have an exact and unbiased idea how good are both the game, but I will not share my opinion here because people love only to bash each other ... But if someone want an opinion, just ask :)

Virtual_Reality3958d ago (Edited 3958d ago )

@papashango

Killzone 2 was pretty amazing. And the AI of KZ2 is better than the enemy AI of Crysis 2.

starchild3957d ago

Video comparisons aren't real useful, but from what we can see Crysis 3 still looks more advanced. More geometry, foliage, textures seem a bit better (a few of the tree and rock textures in Killzone Shadow Fall looked a little lower res in a couple spots), and character models in Crysis 3 look better.

oasdada3957d ago

@Virtual_Reality

yeahh kz2 AI.. the one that once triggered will chase u until its dead or kills u.. u guys have no idea what gfx or AI or physics are still u want to argue over it... im not saying crysis2's or even bf's AI was good for that matter... im just saying that most of the thing u hear are lies made up by fanboys or people who dont know shit about the topic... i have both 360/ps3 and i spend most my time on them.. but to be really really honest.. i have a pc that was under 400$'s and thats 5 years ago.. that pc shows better gfx in crysis than i have seen in killzone:SF... the leaves aare fully rendered and have the surface scattering effect.. full hdr bloom... god rays.. and the water and ocean is something i have yet to see even in nexgen games... not to mention vegetation physics and face rendering... so please stop discussing over stuff u have no idea of untill u see it with ur own eyes... and just for ur info i have a core2duo and a 9600gt.. i have custom tailored my gfx thru the config files... and running crysis on dx9...

come to that conclusion from a compressed youtube video..........

Software_Lover3958d ago

I'll give you one chance to answer that question..

PrinceOfAnger3958d ago

no way shadow fall looks better than crysis 3 pc on max!

Conzul3958d ago

I'm starting to be unable to tell the difference.

I_am_Batman3957d ago (Edited 3957d ago )

There is one thing that everyone seems to ignore. PC is not a closed system hardware wise. KZ:SF will look the same on all PS4s while Crysis 3 looks different on different PC builds. And to max everything out on Crysis 3 you need a beast PC that is much more expensive than the PS4. The majority of PC gamers can't max Crysis 3 with an acceptable framerate.

starchild3957d ago

I have an HD 7950 and I can play it very well by lowering just a few settings. It still looks pretty much like this.

I do admit that some of the better games on consoles are starting to look like high end PC games like Crysis 3, The Witcher 2, etc.

3958d ago
specialguest3958d ago

Seems like the video shows off the action packed part of KZ:SF showing cool effects and explosions, yet on Crysis3 it shows the player doing NOTHING in the same forest.

Ragthorn3958d ago

I still don't think Shadow Fall looks better than Crysis 3 though, but don't get me wrong, it looks amazing for a launch title on PS4, can't wait to see what lies ahead for PS4.

Timesplitter143958d ago

to be honest I think Crysis 3 looks better but that's simply because Crytek is better at doing forests. It's not a good comparison.

To really compare, we'll have to compare the same game between PS4 and PC

jade07323957d ago

Omg... How do these article get approved?

This is just Pointless!!

Software_Lover3958d ago

The game isn't out yet. Nor the console for that matter.

ZodTheRipper3958d ago

Plus Guerilla started developing Killzone:SF with the PS4 having only 4GB VRAM in mind. It's hard to say how much more they used in the new E3 trailer but I'm sure there is still a lot of potential in the PS4.

thezeldadoth3958d ago

you people on here need to realize that doubling the ram isn't gonna double the graphics. It has more to do with the gpu/cpu. Most of the amazing looking PC games on PC take up only a couple gigs of ram.

ZodTheRipper3958d ago (Edited 3958d ago )

^Nobody said that doubling the VRAM means double the graphics, that would be pretty delusional.

thezeldadoth3958d ago

^ I've seen the statement numerous times on here

ZodTheRipper3958d ago

I meant that nobody said it on this news and your comment wasn't really a reply to mine.
I just said that the PS4 has some potential left since all devs developed their games with 4GB VRAM in mind until February.

ginsunuva3958d ago

RAM just determined how many processes and objects they can place.

jetlian3958d ago (Edited 3958d ago )

actually your wrong ram can improve graphics. textures are nothing more than images wrapped onto a 3d object.

more ram better textures.More ram also allows for better performance. its the reason 360 had an edge over ps3.

now there are limits. lighting and polygon counts are based on cpu/gpu.In such a case ps4 wont beat pc.

Linsolv3958d ago

RAM isn't going to suddenly double the framerate, but actually, if you have double the RAM, you can hold double the textures in memory. Probably more than double, since not everything scales equally, and you can always use better textures (whereas, say, pathing information isn't going to scale much).

Lisica3957d ago

So why do you mention VRAM?

Intentions3958d ago

Can't really compare different art styles to one or the other.

But whatevs.

gamewizard993958d ago

They both look great and Killzone:Shadow Fall is only going to look better in the next few months. If a launch title can look this impressive I can't wait for a few years time for a game like Uncharted 4.

HammadTheBeast3958d ago

It does of course, but its amazing that Killzone can put up a fight.

medman3958d ago

Why do you care? More to the point, if someone is going to make a comparison, they should compare the PS4 PC versions of battlefield 4. Comparing different titles shows/proves absolutely nothing.

torchic3958d ago

it gives us an idea of the power of PS4 compared to an expensive, powerful PC. for a launch game it holds up really well, in places KZSF looks about the same maybe better

this doesn't tell much though because they have different art styles.

the real test will come with PS4 vs. PC Battlefield 4 comparisons

MikeMyers3958d ago (Edited 3958d ago )

It's hard to say. What they need to do is have in-game shots where the hud is displayed so that we know the player is in full control. Too many tricks are out there. A game like Uncharted for example looks even better during a sequence when the player has no control. Once it goes back with the hud on display the graphics get toned down. We also have to compare the games while in the same settings. Have both at 30fps and in 1080p if that is what Killzone is. If Crysis looks slightly worse but running at twice the frame rate then is that a fair comparison? Killzone on the PS3 didn't even allow climbing because of system constraints. So all of these things need to be taken into consideration before people blurt out this looks better.

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

At the 2:30 mark he mentions how climbing wasn't possible before on the PS3 and Killzone.

EA’s best multiplayer games have now shut down for good

Battlefield Bad Company 2, Dead Space 2, Crysis 3, and a handful other EA games have finally had their online services shut down.

I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥

SonyStyled127d ago

I was able to find games in the Vietnam dlc on ps3 the last week. There were articles on here about the server closure when it was announced in April

DaReapa127d ago

BF1943 is the only online MP game that I was genuinely interested in. Been playing since launch 14 years ago. Hate that I couldn't put in as much time to play as I'd hoped for during the final week.

Inverno127d ago

I got really into 43 when I bought Bf3, and preferred it. Everything that I disliked or found annoying about Bf3, wasn't an issue in 43. Too bad they never bothered releasing it on PS4 or PC.

1nsomniac127d ago (Edited 127d ago )

Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!

anast126d ago

Once people stop buying micros, these companies close the doors.

Xenial126d ago

Dead Space 2 multiplayer had been hanging on for years - I'd boot my PS3 up to see some familiar names in lobbies. This will definitely be missed!

Killzone After a Decade in Hibernation

It's been 10 years since Killzone: Shadow Fall arrived for PlayStation 4 early adopters, and there's no sign of another sequel.

Obscure_Observer152d ago

Sadly it was dumped by Guerrilla to focus on Horizon games only. Mainline, VR and Multiplayer.

Vengeance1138152d ago

lmao sadly? Are you pretending to have actually played the series lol Sorry bud, no Killzone on Xbox.

Cacabunga152d ago

With the downfall of COD and BF, Killzone def. has a chance to make a groundbreaking comeback

152d ago
Notellin152d ago (Edited 152d ago )

What a low-functioning reply here typical of the fanboy N4G community.

Rimeskeem152d ago

“Dumped”

I think it’s called moving on.

Barlos152d ago (Edited 152d ago )

They brought out 4 main games and 2 spin offs: one on PSP and one on Vita. That's a decent run for any series. I also understand that Shadow Fall wasn't a success commercially despite it coming out at PS4 launch, and as a big Killzone fan even I couldn't get into it, so I think Sony/Guerrilla could see it was time to move on.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love another Killzone game in the vein of KZ2 but it's just not happening. Hell, I'd even take a remake or remaster of the first 3 games.

I'd hardly say it was "dumped" though, it spanned 3 console generations and 2 handheld generations.

1Victor152d ago

@obscured:”Sadly it was dumped by Guerrilla to focus on Horizon games only. Mainline, VR and Multiplayer”

Happily it was dumped by Guerrilla to focus on Horizon games only. Mainline, VR and Multiplayer( edited to reflect the writer true feelings and allegiance)
Kill zone was a FPS far ahead of its glitched competitors with nauseating bad camera angles, 10 years old screaming curses like a drunk sailor and bot aiming assist.

ChasterMies151d ago

“Sadly”?

The Horizon games were among the best games of all time. Killzone Shadowfail wasn’t.

Shane Kim151d ago

True, but damn the memories of KZ2 multiplayer. Still no MP as fun as that to this date.

Mr_cheese151d ago

Dumped and shelved are two different things

Tacoboto151d ago

And Sony as a whole dumped the FPS genre so they wouldn't have products competing with COD and (until purchase) Destiny.

GoodGuy09152d ago

I loved the KZ2+3 campaigns and MP in 2. There could be so much more done with the franchise. Horizon although good, I wish they'd go back to this wonderful IP. Take a break from Horizon please.

Flawlessmic152d ago

Agreed dude, I would absolutely love a reboot of the series, one can only hope that either resistance or killzone makes a return.

Have nothing but great memories, especially of the first 3 games, but all 4 were show stoppers graphically.

blackbeld152d ago

To making it a successful reboot they have to change that buttons layout! Make it playable like the cod button layout. Otherwise I’ll skipping it again.

Rynxie152d ago

And that's the reason why many fps games failed. Instead of being original and catering to it's fans, they tried to make it like cod. No, kz doesn't need cod button layout. It needs to be like it was on kz2 or balanced liked kz3.

Lightning77152d ago

I think Kill Zone would do great in Sony's LS push. As well as MAG reboot and bring back Resistance into LS.

Sharky231151d ago

@Lightning77

I think WarHawk would have been a great Live service game.

thorstein152d ago

Killzone games were so polished. The gameplay was just simple joy. MP was one of the best experiences.

I remember KZ3, just staring at how awesome they animated the water and then getting wasted because of it.

P_Bomb152d ago

It’s been a decade? Now I’m sad.

I hear ya bud. We're due for a revival.

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

1Victor342d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar342d ago

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

jznrpg342d ago

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

badz149342d 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!

Vengeance1138342d 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 Kim342d ago

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

VersusDMC342d 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?

Vengeance1138342d ago

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

solideagle342d 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.

Phoenix76342d 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.

blacktiger342d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca342d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy342d ago (Edited 342d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal342d ago

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

Imalwaysright342d ago

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