You can run KZ2 on the Wii if you want, but there are always compromises. Can KZ2 run on the 360 w/o any compromises? I'm doubtful. The comment alone shouldn't be taken as proof.

nothing wrong with this btw - just like Kojima is a fanboy for the PS3.

Bungie is saying that GG (not Bungie themselves) can create the game on the 360 if they wanted to. Strange, and I thought the 360 maxed out with GeoW.

He further says "The tech differences between the PS3 and the 360 aren’t all that much." Is that an official admittance from Bungie that PS3 is superior to the 360?

I don't think Killzone 2 could be done on the 360 without some major compromises first.

Even Guerrilla themselves said that without anything less than 25 Gigs (Blu-ray) it wouldn't have been possible... and that would mean that a 360 version would have to be done on multiple discs, plus many other changes.

Up until now, Gears of War has pretty much been the 360's best in terms of visuals (and probably technical aspects as well), so until I see something on the 360 that matches KZ2's graphical fidelity and technicalities, I don't believe that KZ2 can be pulled off on the 360 identical to the PS3 version.

The Xbox 360 has been out longer, but just a little over 2 years after the PS3 first came out, KZ2 is the best looking console game to date...sometimes it makes me think if something very close to KZ2 could be done on the 360, it would have already been done if it was even remotely possible because the 360 has been out for a whole year longer and devs. have had more time with it.

my god i hate HHGS.

there is a whole interview here and yet look at the title. all this wannabe gangster does is post articles with the intention of getting ppl fired up over nothing. it's a website run by children.

seriously...Christian Allen is a really enthusiastic, positive guy and he conducted a gamer oriented interview. one small section of the interview is this comment and that's all we're supposed to focus on??

killzone 2 is a sony game, even if it can be done on 360 (and most of us on here aren't programmers or engineers so we don't know more than the devs do so stop pretending to be experts), it will never happen. so it's a moot point. also, this guy admitted that he doesn't often work with ps3 hardware, and he never makes the claim that one system is better than the other. he is just saying he thinks, from a technical stand point, the visual quality of killzone can be achieved on 360. he might be right, he could be wrong, but it is not the point of the interview, despite what hhg wants us to believe. And this guy doesn't strike me as a fanboy. he doesn't say he dislikes ps3. in fact he says he's looking forward to seeing what games they have coming out.

which brings me to an important question, why haven't we boycotted this idiot website yet? it has no journalistic qualities, it's more like a video game tabloid.

EDIT: i just noticed there's a video at the bottom. did you guys watch it? He puts the guys from GG and Christian completely on the spot as if he's trying to start a rumble in the parking lot. I'd be embarrassed for this guy if i didn't dislike him so much. absolutely 0 professionalism. and get a damn mic when you're interviewing ppl! ...using the camera's built in mic when interviewing the guy in a public location. what a noob.

onijutsu - 256 days 17 hours ago

i would believe that killzone 2 could run on the xbox, especially considering that killzone 2 runs straight off the disc and not off the hardrive, which is namcos problem with tekken.

the problem with tekken, is that they are trying to make it a highly responsive game, so for the ps3 the ONLY advantage(in the perspective of tekken 6, not some crysis beater) that it has over the 360 is the hardrive.

For a fighting game its all about speed and a dvd9 is just not comparable to a hdd. Namco built tekken 6 with the hardrive in mind and now they are having trouble putting the effects that are reliant on the hardrive being there onto the xbox360 version, so you cannot use the arguement that the xobx360 cannot handle tekken interms of processing power, it can easily handle it, its just difficult to do so without mandatory hardrives to capitalise on.

I think the decision for microsoft to make a budget minded model that does not include a mandatory hardrive was a bad decision, sure it probably got them more sales, but at the cost of longevity of its console and consumer satisfaction, imagine little jimmy 8 years old wants to really download something but he cannot justify the purchase of a hardrive to his parents this leaves little jimmy disgruntled and unhappy, does microsoft want to make its customers happy or do they just want to cash in?

Also they are potentially missing out on sales from downloadable content due to owners who do not have a hardrive, but then again owners who bought a core system probably wouldn't find the 50$ for xbox live justifiable(or maybe they are all just uninformed customers who saw it as a bargain price for the xbox360)

Btw if my facts about xboxlive are incorrect please forgive me as i do not pay that much attention to a console that i do not own...

Edit:
i was looking at the killzone 2 vs Gears of war side by side screen shots, the only differnce that i can see is the lighting, that really is the only better thing about killzone 2, i still believe that killzone 2 can be done on the xbox360, the texture resolutions look about the same so i don't think the xbox not having a bluray is a problem.

I mean killzone 2, naturally is going to be totally eclipsed graphically anyway its just how it works, so will gears of war 2 and everyother game, thats just the way it is.

Really you think gears of war 2, killzone 2, uncharted 2 or whatever looks good. You aint seen nothing yet...

But the advantage that the ps3 has in the future is really only through bluray, and the mandatory hardrive. Look at id's new game Rage; a game that has to be slightly compressed for the xbox360 version even though its still multi disc, it doesn't really affect the game, but in the future it could, especially for sandbox games where multidisc applications are just not feasable.

Hear me out, imagine what a new gta game could do with a 50gb disc(not saying that 'GTA IS TEH MOST EPIC GAME IN TEH WORLDZ', just that its a very large and detailed game), and it didn't have to worry about putting the same game on any other medium, think about that...

Wow, you're calling me a retard yet your comment has nothing to do with the article. You think bungie make better games then guerilla. Your opinion. Whatever. Its not a fact, its just your opinion. No graphics aren't necessarily what makes a game good. What my point was is that i think bungie are wrong. I don't think killzone 2 can be done on 360 because:

A) How could they know? They didn't develop killzone 2 and have never worked with the ps3

B) If killzone 2 is easily possible on 360, then why doesn't 360's biggest game, halo 3 look half as good as killzone 2?

C) Why does NO game on 360 come close to killzone 2 technically and graphically? Especially since 360 has been out 1 year longer and is easier to develop for?

It's not just graphics, its physics and lighting and 360 has nothing on the level of killzone 2. Ps3 was designed to calculate vast amounts of calculations, it is more powerful then 360. So if your gonna call me a retard, at least prove me wrong while your at it. Otherwise, put up or shut up

When it comes to a Sony game that was said to not be possible on the 360? I'm sorry, but I find this a bit out of the water for me to even bite. Sounds like another desperate call on MS's part to discredit the PS3 and Sony. It's sad that MS can't just admit that KZ2 is an amazing game and leave it at that. Sour grapes is so unbecoming of corporations these days.

Also, if KZ2 can be done on the 360 then why is it that Halo 3 looked dated the day it was released? Why didn't they have up to 300 light sources on the screen at a single moment? Just asking...

I liked Halo 3 just as much as the next guy but devs from MS game franchises should not open their mouths about games on the PS3 and visa-versa.

KZ2 in its current condition could never run on a 360 even if the code was restructured for 360 hardware.

And even then its not even sure if its possible or if they would simply have to compromise the quality.

Well Bungie work on Halo 3 graph is not that great. Come on, being the xbox360 a much easier console to work for why it comes Halo couldn't get better visuals. But then you have Crytek engine, IMO KZ2 looks way better that the city parts of the Crytek engine demo, while it keeps a solid framerate and an awful amount of things going on at the same time. But Crytek engine demo was very impressive nonetheless, and it is pretty clear that Cryengine3 >> UE3 so I expect better looking games than Gears on the xbox360. I dont know when but Im almost sure that those future better looking games wont come from Bungie. Question is will they be graphically as good as KZ2? Not sure about it.

I went to my personal doctor and he told me it was a cyst (fluid sac in the body). I went to get a sonogram and they also told me it was a cyst. I didn't believe them so i went to a urologist and he told me that it is a 100% pelvic hernia. At the end of the day i was right not the two "professionals" i went to see at first.

The Cryengine runs better on the PS3 for a reason. Processing power is superior on the PS3 to the 360. They could look the same but not run well and the 360 is tapping out.

Ive played Halo for 8 years, i think i would know a little of what im talking about at least, and a hell of alot more than you. Bungie's Halo games have only become more balanced, refined, and overall better. Halo CE was good, but id rather not run around with super-scoped pistols that make most other weapons obsolete. You catchin my drift? Im sorry Halo is popular, but that doesnt mean the game is all hype and no game. Blame MS for the hype, not Bungie, who made a very well crafted trilogy of great FPS's.
