Killzone 2: CG vs realtime comparision shots.

Here are comparision shots between that infamous killzone 2 e3 2005 trailer and the recent gameplay footage.

[HighDefinition]

But UNBELIEVABLY it looks better.

The Haters.........GG did it.

[Why o why]

a slightly different art style but i agree. Some of the technical effects are much much better in the real game where other aspects like the ones u mentioned are not. truth be told Im impressed and have seen nothing like it in quality on console yet

[HighDefinition]

100% as always.

:)

[Jamie Foxx]

looking that washed out though so its hard to compare....

however,GG have done an amazing job graphically no question

[SL1M DADDY]

Just got Killzowned. Man they have hit the mark with the visuals in this game and it is not even gold yet!

[jtucker78]

And now we have to see if the GOW3 in game footage looks as good as the CGI trailer.
I doubted Sony would pull it off with Killzone 2, but they have.
Bravo!

Now give us GOW3 in game!

Yeah I think they made the movement a little too real, which some people like, but when playing the game it is just as good as that trailer and the gameplay videos people have been seeing are spot on amazing graphics especially in the sunny area of the academy map that is just amazing graphics, its COD 4 ratcheted up to the next 2 levels!!!

[marinelife9]

Even the multiplayer looks downright ridiculous. But shooting the guns themselves is pure bliss. Because of the blood, sound and physics reaction to the bullets firing a FPS gun never felt better.

[gaffyh]

What I remember from the real-time trailer vs the old CG trailer, the real-time trailer was better in every way except the smoke effects (of when the plane get's shot down).

These look good though, and I prefer the new grey style over the old browny (sepia) style

[MNicholas]

The CG had better animation and particle effects.

Also, KZ2 is probably the best looking game in the universe but that's meaningless without good gameplay and the jury is still out on that one.

[King_many_layers]

to be honest I prefer the look of how the game is now too, Love the colours of the picture with Rico and the last pic ( in real time ) also the game really does seem to be looking fantastic ( I say this as an onlooker whose unfortunate to have not played the beta )

This comparison to me seems highly flawwed as most of the real time scenes are from offscreen so the colours clearly are different, but the textures still look top notch and the lighting is fantastic. This lighting engine is truly fantastic, I've watched alot of videos and there's hardly a jagged edge on any of the shadows being cast dynamically.

[sirbigam]

Been waiting since 2005 for this game it's gonna be sick. Ahh man Great games just take too long. Brace yurselfs PS3's will be flying of the shelves by 360 converts. That day will come!

[Munky]

PS3 owners have been waiting for this game since that 2005 trailer was released, 123 developers, 23 million dollars, 4 years of development...this game will not disappoint.

[ablecain]

Seriously? Where did you get that figure?

[Munky]

"There are more than 135 developers in the Netherlands working on the game at the moment. The new Killzone 2 will be fully translated in 20 different languages. It is believed that the budget currently surpasses £20 million ($41million), which is comparable to a small-budget Hollywood picture and is the most expensive multimedia project in Holland's history (this has yet to be confirmed).[citation needed] It will have downloadable content like other contemporary games, possibly in the form of episodic content."

[Sarcasm]

"£20 million ($41million"

So it's not $23 million, it's $41 million.

[thewhoopimen]

That's an older tidbit from 2007. The cost ballooned in jan. and is estimated to have hit up to $60-65 million already.

[phosphor112]

I THOUGHT (I'd have to look it up again) there was over 200 people on their team now and its clear over the 20 million mark. Because that 20 million mark was stats from over 6 months ago.

[jkhan]

The lightening in the game is absolutely perfect. Graphics as a whole are top notch. But these images doesn't show the game's strongest asset. Its animation system is by far I have seen in any game. Its equal to what CGI video had if not better. Plus the game recreates the rush and chaos which was in the CG trailer. Anybody still doubting is simply a hater.

[Nathaniel_Drake]

Yeah when you kill a guy they writhe when they hit the floor and they animate wherever your bullets hit, and a head shot feels like a head shot because of the extra animation they put in

[Exquisik]

I was playing the beta couple of nights ago, and I experienced one of the best headshot animation ever. One guy from the ISA were running across the middle of the map (forgot the map name, but it's one big building), so I put my gun into scope view and shot him in the head. The bullet went through his head, blood were spewing out of his head, and his body just flew back and landed on the ground. But it didn't just landed, I actually saw his arms waving and his body bounced a little bit before laying still on the ground. Amazing animation, amazing physics, amazing graphic!

[baum]

Did you see the explosions in the first trailer? THose were unreal. So was the facial animation. So the animation in general and the level of detail, the fire....

Killzone 2 is definitely the most impressive game in terms of graphics and it did come close in many aspects, but on others it pales in comparison. You can't beat CGI which is not real-time with real-time footage, because it will always be three steps ahead. Perhaps by PS6 era games will be indistinguishable from CGI cut-scenes. Or maybe PS5, unless PS4 is not just two PS3s duct-taped together.

[na2ru1]

Real-time footage is a lot more sharper so therefore, it looks like a polygonal game environment in comparison to [ANY] CGIs. (not that Killzone has blocky looks, not at all)

Maybe if you blur the videos and screenshot of realtime, you may see it LOOK LIKE CGI :)

the only thing unsurpassed is fire....and maybe the hair styles..

[ud]

The explosions are SO REALISTIC! This game has by FAR the best effects ever created.

[Time_Is_On_My_Side]

Actually in the pre-alpha stage the real-time looked better than the computer generated imagery. Like for instance bullet penetration is a lot better in real-time and look like they bounce off in the CGI.

IGN HTML: http://ps3.ign.com/articles...

[Sarcasm]

Yeah, but the sheer fact that it's remotely comparable to pre-rendered CGI is an amazing feat.

But I agree, we won't exactly see pure pre-rendered CGI looking graphics until PS4 or PS5. If those will even exist.

[olivia]

look up baum

[xaphanze]

The animations and explosions in the CG trailer were better no question about that, but other than that it looks better now.

[na2ru1]

beyond expectation. and it has more colour than CG haha. excellent acheivement GG, you deserve standing avation

[Aquanox]

There's no point of comparison between them. The CG shots are taken from a video while the others are direct feed from the game.

As good as KZ2 might look, if you put both videos in motion you will see how the animations, psychics, overall detail (texture, faces, etc...) is immensely superior in the CG trailer. No matter of discussion anyways, that's why it CGI.

[NickIni]

lmfao

Gears 2 looks no where near as good graphically as KZ2. Rid your eyes of that idiotic fanboy blur that censors out anything they don't want to see.

[aaron23]

KZ2 makes gears1.1 look like Dogsh88

Uncharted makes anything on flop box look like piles of trash so why even mention KZ2

[ultimolu]

I smell jealous 360 fanboys...xDDD

[Salta_nelas]

They have surpass it mostly, hats off to GG.

[tudors]

e.g look at this image from the original CGI
then look at the image they used.

[tudors]

2nd

[Shane Kim]

Hahahha, it actually looks better than the 2005 trailer.

[DeforMAKulizer]

Truly amazing! And trust me in motion its simply baffles you!
Can't wait to get my hands on the full version with nothing compressed! =D

[Aclay]

The actual game itself looks about just as good as the Killzone 2 CGI trailer.

I wouldn't be surprised if that God of War 3 teaser trailer was running in real time (even though it probably isn't), because after Ted Price revealed that the R2 teaser trailer was actually running in real time things that look CGI on the PS3 may just end up being realtime... and if that GOW3 teaser trailer wasn't realtime and was CGI, I'm pretty sure that the actual game graphics will be very close to the teaser trailer itself.

[DeforMAKulizer]

Man you just made me piss in my pants!
CANT WAIT FOR God of War!

[stiggs]

I will admit that this gamje looks exceptional. But it is obvious that these images have been manipulated post render via photoshop. The saturation levels have been raised and several filters have been applied (motion blur, contrast/darkness levels, gausian blur, etc). Many publishers are guilty of tweaking their screen shots. I just don't think it's necessary in this case as the visual presentation appears to be top notch. Perhaps the developer or publisher is under extreme pressure to meet or exceed the public's unrealistic expectation.

[she00win99]

it's not tweaked, the real time footage is actually taken from a cam it's not even a direct-feed screen shot. if you look a little closer the size of the pictures is not even propotion.

[Sarcasm]

Yeah it's tweaked.

You see Guerilla Game is trying to mask and lie to everybody about Killzone 2's graphics. So they invented an ingenious way of tweaking the saturation and color and other things.

They already have it in the beta. What they do is adjust the saturation, colors, contrast all in real-time while your playing! Amazing isn't it?

/Sarcasm off

I've played the beta, and believe anybody who's played it. The graphics are just as good as those photos.

[stiggs]

If these images are GAMEPLAY (not pre-gameplay game engine driven cinematics)then GREAT! Gears also uses it's game engine to run cinematics but they far exceed the in-game graphics due to the lightened CPU load. I'be THRILLED if the final build resembles these screen-shots. But just because the images were captured in-camera doesn't dismiss the possiblity that they were manipulated after the being converted to jpg/bmp files. This game is one of the central reasons why I purchased a PS3. I just have some doubts after all the other failed promises and B.S. of Sony's current console.

[TheExecutive]

those screens look EXACTLY like every gameplay video I have seen from the recent build. That is in game.

[Sarcasm]

@10.3

Those are real screenshots folks. The fact that people cant believe it's real says enough.

[King_many_layers]

THESE SCREENS ARE ALL FROM IN GAME.

They ones that have the blue tinge are off screen and are from Gamersyde. They are screen captures of their HD video that they posted when they played the game at the PS day in europe.

The more colourful screens were taken directly from the video which was took directly from the video they showed at the day aswell. No tweaking or editing, just pure in game screen captures.

[pwnsause]

"Tweaked.

Sony and GG would be very happy to read about your statement, Because that means that they were able to make the the game look just like the CGI footage, and better. Do yourself a favor and look at the new Killzone 2 trailer. That was all in-game as confirmed by Seb.

[xBot Lemmings]

how about a comparison between this and gears 2 ? LOL!

[Agent Orange]

Gears 2 is gonna get killzowned if they did that, LOL

[ultimolu]

Lol...that'll be manslaughter there. xD

[xwabbit]

Very nice

[Gantrfaxx]

Very impressive.

[HardcoreGamer]

the beta simply guarentees me full knowledge how much more powerful of a system is than the 360,

it looks better than gears, its bigger than gears,. and it has 32 online multiplayer in pre alpha beta form i mean wtf. and gears 2 has 5 on 5.

it just makes perfect sense, when you guys get the game you will understand it also.

[Sarcasm]

Whoa you're fishing in some dangerous waters there.

Killzone 2 graphics better than Gears 2?

You're gonna get a mouth full from the 360 folks. Good luck!

[TheExecutive]

Its blatantly obvious to anyone with eyes that KZ2 looks better than Gears. I dont know anyone that would argue that? I mean it would be fruitless wouldnt it?

[Sarcasm]

@13.2

Blatantly obvious things actually do not register with 360 folks. Gears of War 2 will have better graphics than a Playstation 5 game. Oh yes, they really do believe it.

Gears 2 have very excellent graphics. But Killzone 2 has unbelievable ones. Look at some of the posts above, some think that those screenshots are fake, when in truth it's all real time in-game screenshots. I'm playing the beta and can attest to that.

[karlostomy]

Dude. If you're playing the beta how can you find the time to damage control this n4g thread?

If I was playing the beta and it truly was all you said it was, then you would never catch me correcting bots and reassuring droids on n4g, because my head would be glued to the KZ2 gameplay.

Perhaps the fact that you are here instead is telling us all a great deal more!

just a thought.

[Sarcasm]

@Karl

Yeah I'm here because I'm at work and not at home. If I'm at home, I'll be playing it. I switch from R2 to KZ2. Haven't touched Gears 2 since I beat it.

[karlostomy]

Perhaps try gears on a harder setting.

[karlostomy]

Double post

[fossilfern]

I CANNOT WAIT i didnt get in the beta even tho i downloaded the theme the second it came on the store weeks ago (not too happy) but just another 3 months and this game will be proudly be in my PS3 collection :D looks amazing and personaly i think its one of the best graphical achivment so far even better than crysis but im sure ppl will disagree (im a PC gamer too) i honestly cant wait this game better looking than Gears 2 aswell :D

[Agent Orange]

Im in the beta and it looks freaking better than those images!! Looks better in motion!

[sephy 9 2 5]

in the third to last one then the look of the second to last one its comparable.
And no those images have not be tweaked. Not even direct-feed. (@ 10)

[jidery]

This is one of the only gaming companies that uses the cell to help the RSX with the graphics, and this only uses 4.5 out of the 6 avalible cores, and its not even optomized to its fullist.

[cyclindk]

I just can't wait to see what a flame thrower looks like (the flames anyway); fire and other volumetric type particle effects are always telling of a system/game's graphical prowess, i.e., Haze's fire looks like gelatin, therefore the game is gelatin.

[IQUITN4G]

If it plays as good as the original CGI motion suggests then i will buy Killzone2 immediatley - is there any chance of that?

That's the thing a lot of you guys forget.The original trailer made all but the stupidest people let out a shout of joy, or in the case of 360 users at that point, "oh sh!t that's a bit good, i might have to get a PS3 after all", such was the sheer awesome quality that it was - Killzone2 as of now on PS3 is delightfull but when i watch it, it doesn't impress half as much as back then

Killzone2 as of now has a better more darker atmosphere and also very solid looking visuals but for pure thrill, it's not anything like as exciting as the cgi

Great achievement though and only the first game from GG on the PS3

Show your level of intelligence by disagreeing

[DaTruth]

Everything looked better 5 years ago, because we hadn't even seen HD gaming before. Even the worst game now looks better then God of War 1.

[FantasyStar]

Even though this is almost a moot point, we're doing graphics comparisons right?

Models in CGI still look more detailed.
The volumetric clouds are better in CGI
Explosions still look better in CGI

...uh yeah, that's about it. That's how impressive GG is. Normally companies that try to bring CGI quality would usually have a much larger list. GG however is doing a great job so far. R2 disappointed me a bit with pre-rendered shadows and not-great lighting, but lets see how GG does it in 5 more months (cause I anticipate delays).

Crysis has spoiled me ya know. Gears 2 as well.

[Gorillaunit]

Hahaha but please, are you all so damn stupid retarded ?? A game that has been in development for about 5 years Of course its gonna look good !!!! Thats whats wrong with the PS3, you have to wait 5 years for a game to be realsed and still look lika a ps2 game !!! Hahahaha... Gears of war 2 realesed two years after the first one !!!! two fcking years !!!

[Chubear]

.. 3 1/2 yrs. Will be 4yrs at launch in feb. The game could have been released this Oct/Nov even but got pushed back for sales strategic reasons.

Hey, Too Human - 10yrs.. what's your point?

[NeonSkull]

alan wake.

[spongeboob]

Gears 2 is built off of the same engine of previous game. Killzone is being built from the ground up using a custom engine designed to work with the PS3 architecture. Once the Engine is built and ironed out the game development moves a lot faster for all other games afterwards.

So please put all your fanboy bull aside and think before you speak. You are only making yourself look dumb.

[Kufi-]

Man you are stupid. Start thinking.
There was a Gears of war 1 before geow2.they just "improved" the engine.
But killzone2 engine is new you will see after kz2 you have to wait only 2 years and kz3 will come

[nycredude]

First of all it has been 3 and a half years.

Second sure gears 2 was release 2 years later and guess what it looks just like the first game! dada And you lap it up like it is something new. Maybe because it is like only one of two games you have going for you! :(

What happened to Too Human? 10 years and it looks like a n64 game!! haahahahah and I bet you paid full price for it too you freaking xbox sheep! baaaaaaahhhhhh... baaaaaahhhhh

And if Killzone 2 looks like a Ps2 game then your precious xbox 360 just got owned by a Ps2 looking game!! What does that say about your POS console.

See it sucks to be a fanboy cause it goes both ways.

[Jager]

Actually guys, your all wrong. KZ2 didnt start Development until 2006! KZ:L didnt finish until that date. Besides, Gorrila, how long did Halo 2 take? 3 Years. Halo 3? 3 Years.

[ultimolu]

ALAN WAIT.

Now fail some more.

That's how many years it takes to make a kick ass game on the PS3. At least Sony doesn't rush their stuff, UNLIKE a certain company.

Damn jealous ass 360 fanboys.

Go get laid dude. Seriously.

[PS3n360]

These graphics are stunning. I just hope that after this other games dont look like crap in comparison, this is going to spoil me much like gears did last year. As far as I am concearned visuals have gone as far as they need to. Any more real and it would be scary. I used to play pong for god's sake!

[IQUITN4G]

Can people stop mentioning numbers when it comes to these types of games.Since when did Gears suddenly become naff for having 4 on 4 matches.If a 360 game comes along that had 500 players all at once, would that then claim the crown?

Gears does what it does based on it's design, it's not like the hardware can only handle 10 players

So long as the multiplay experience is quality then i'm happy and in this regard Gears is exceptionally fun.R2 succeeds with it's own fun take on multiplayer while Gears does equally well doing another

[Chubear]

"LMAO @ stupid droids, no way those graphics can be done this gen. You'll be looking at late next gen or the PS5 to hope to get close to that CGI lol!!"

... and this is accomplished within year 2 of the PS3 XD. Tell me, what do you think KZIII will be like then in 2011/2012? What do you think Killzone on the PS4 will be like? Yeah, Playstation baby, uber pwnage.

[IQUITN4G]

Yes but understand that even now from a technical point, it's still far off matching the enormous ammounts of detail that rendering allows and indeed is shown in the trailer.Movement too will require software not yet available and Killzone shall use predefined as it's only option in this area - perfectly fine as all games do this

So it still can't be said that K2 has outdone the trailer

And it really doesn't matter as K2's current art style looks quite a bit nicer anyhow.In no way does it outdo the cgi tehnically though and i wish some people would get half a brain before saying this nonsense

[nycredude]

If not then STFU. Stop talking like you're some kind of expert on cgi or something. And who the hell care if it is exactly like the cgi? There is one thing going for the real game that the cgi can only dream of! You can't PLAY the cgi! That is all that matters.

[GarandShooter]

@ nycredude

You have to realize that some peoples' opinions are facts, even thought they don't post facts to back them up. And then there's the rest of us who just have opinions.

[Ap3theBad]

killzone 2 never got delayed of pushed back.. it never had a comfirmed street date at all,they even said that too..... the site IGN and others would just take a guess and list it as a certain date but overall,nothnig was ever set.

ive ben a kz/GG fan since the start of the first one and ben following it since then.... i give GG more then enuf props for going further to achieve an extrordinary game,and their hard earned work will pay off come february.

GG FTW!

[TrevorPhillips]

yea ive seen these pics before and their real , i cant wait for killzone 2 i own both systems and handsdown K2 looks better then gears of war 2 even resistance 2 looks better. the real time pics backround look better but the characters on the CGI look a bit better so game is still in the works should be more better.

[nrXic]

Those screens are too small to directly compare, but I've done a higher resolution comparison on another forum. Technically, the actual game falls short. The lighting isn't as detailed, and neither is the geometry. You'll note in the beta that the lighting model on the characters have been simplified for online play (32 players...something's gotta give). And obviously the texture quality took a big hit, in the CG it looks really good but in the game it's noticably worse.

BUT, despite all of that, I PREFER the look of the real time game. Art assets like the weapon models have been improved. There's more contrast overall. The world isn't as open and is more tighter and cohesive.

One thing the pre-render still has going for it is the animations, it was very misleading to create a video with those sorts of animations and then claim the game will move like it.

But nevermind the graphics, the game is awesome (I thought the original KZ was mediocre), and that's what matters most. Day one purchase for me!

[olivia]

old wise one,your forgetting that those shots are like 4 months ago they look that amazing.the current november shots make these look washed out and low res.so if your doing the math they have roughly four months left to make it surpass the current ones. so the possibility of the game surpassing the 05 trailer is very likely given the time still left.the ps3 is that powerful wait till febuary to see for your self don't take my word for it i,am only a gamer

[Pixel_Addict]

The actual in-game visuals look better than the 2005 CG trailer! You can see much better light modeling, AA, and bump-mapping. Just look at the gun in first screenshot comparison. Also, from the most recent footage I have seen the GG developer is adding more color too. This game is going to set a new standard for graphics on current gen consoles!

[DJ]

And saw the option for 32 player games...i was in shock and awe. This game really does look better than the 'CG Lie' from E3 2005.

[Pixel_Addict]

It was suppose to be a target render expectations. A few PR people streched that into the 'lie' you are speaking of. Not really the fault of Sony or Gurrilla Games.

[Dark General]

Looks almost on par with each other. The hair from the CG and the clouds look quite a bit better than in game. Also i liked the gun design better in the CG, really it's the rail on the barrel of the gun that makes it.

[pornflakes]

"As good as KZ2 might look, if you put both videos in motion you will see how the animations, psychics, overall detail (texture, faces, etc...) is immensely superior in the CG trailer. No matter of discussion anyways, that's why it CGI."

SIGNED

[Myze]

Not that it really matters, but that comparison shot has been around since May of this year, since the Playstation Day in London, so it's about 6 months old, so not sure why no one has mentioned it.

Anyway, I think it looks great now. Certain things aren't going to match the CG footage, simply because the CG footage is probably using 20x the polygons. That being said, the fact that most everything looks just as good, and some things look even better (the lighting, gun models, etc.) is hard to believe. That, along with the gameplay turning out great, and the footage from the shot being 6 months old (remember that people in the beta are not seeing what the single-player looks like, which is what this comparison shot is from), I for one can't wait for the game's release.

[olivia]

was the first thing i saw,thought it was only one thanks for not being blinded like the bots on this site dude

[smurfie4]

I'm glad they didn't get the cg trailer to the t. Those gigantic foreheads on the ISA in the cg trailer had to go. It plays as good as it looks and vice verse.

[plain rice]

Isn't this old? I remember seeing this months ago.

Nevertheless, K2 looks amazing.

[Rocky87]

Be careful by saying KZ2 looks much better than GeoW2.
I'm playing it and I can say damn there are some graphically impressive levels you never forget. But I've also seen the beta of KZ2 and it's godlike. But I cannot really say that it looks better ... the Gears-Universe is just to awesome. It's a different art style. But I don't wanna start a war. Thats just my opinion.

[nrXic]

I know people who've played Gears 2 and are in the beta for KZ2. They say that it compares because it does other things right, like textures for example, are razor sharp in Gears. Both games feature motion blur, but I think it's done better in KZ2 when I compare it to Gears 1. I think anyone saying one is better than the other are only looking at particular factors, and not taking into account that one game does some areas better than the other, but falls short in other areas.

[Vip3r]

The ingame graphics are a damn site better than the old CGI video.

[pain777pas]

Exactly it does not move as smooth as the trailer but looks better for the most part.

[tudors]

.

[HighDefinition]

Your the ONLY one.

Have fun living in a bubble!

[GarandShooter]

Comparable in that both are videogames and both are disc based. I own Gears 2 and love it. It's a gorgeous game, but lets wait at least until KZ2 is released to make such bold statements.

[Rocky87]

yes, they both look stunning. K2 looks a bit fresher ...
cool comments here. no fanboys just true comments. thats nice ...

[NS]

Killzone 2 without a doubt is the best graphics on console sofar but its still not up to par with the trailer texture wise.

Stuff like rubble, dust and other particle effects are more defined in the trailer. If you look at the ground texture its is quite obvious that the trailer had AA, very smooth while the in game one still have alot of sharp edges.

However the lighting in game is better.

It dosen't really matter anyways. To think that GG almost reach their target is unbelieveable.

The Trailer graphics is what i expect to be standard when the PS4 arrives. To think that we have nearly as good graphics on PS3 is a great achievement. Hat off to GG.

It will only get better though. This is the first iteration of this engine and i would imagine more improvements in the future and more games will be developed using this engine.

This engine will be one of Sony's main weapon this gen. Sony invested alot in this engine and i believe its one of a couple engines that Sony are developing to set the PS3 apart from the rest.

[Maldread]

Agree, i think Sony will have great use of GG`s engine. They should share it with 3 party developers too.

I do hope Sony stop with the CGI stuff though. Their gamez look more than good enough on their own (like Motorstorm 2 for example).

[mastiffchild]

Yeah, KZ2 is starting to look a certainty to pull it off where the first game failed. Gears2 is comparible but isn't quite up with what i've seen of KZ2 and it's a finished game. Close but the cigar will go to KZ on this one, imo.

[magqcc7]

This comparison is stupid. The in-game graphics are light years ahead of the CGI graphics. Whoever thinks these are even comparable is seriously deluded. This game makes GOW2 look like Super Mario Bros. Absolutely gorgeous game, and a must have.

[Rocky87]

Super Mario Bros.?

You have no idea what ur talking about ...

[Maldread]

But i think a video would be better here. Still, from what i`ve seen so far, i don`t think K2 looks better than the 2005 CGI (and how could it ?). But it is without doubt the best looking console game.

I think characters (although the hair looks better in the CGI) and lighting actually looks better in the actual game than in the CGI, which is an amazing accomplishment.

Animations are the best i`ve seen in a game so far, but not as good as the CGI. What we`ve seen of fire (although that`s a while ago, so who knows how that will end up in the final result) is not as good either. I also don`t think the environment and explosions are as good.

Point is, while K2 isn`t as good looking as the CGI, it`s still the best looking console game around. No game on PS3 or 360 looks better. And it seems very stable fps wise as well. The gameplay seem to be shaping up better and better too, which is the most important thing.

[divideby0]

A bud is in the beta and I totally trust his op.
And he said this game is unfrigging real. The graphics, animations and game speed makes this the #1 shooter. (And this dude is a big COD fan)

The biggest complaint many will have (because you know on the net, there has to be one negative nealy out there), is the game does all in can do with being a FPS. There is little more than can be done with the shooter genre and this game really tries.

[ultimolu]

This game renders me speechless.
I'm in the beta and holy crap.
They pulled it off. O-O

[CrippleH]

The game looks better now then before.

Space and taking away negativity that doesn't relate to this topic would have attract more people reading your comments.

[CaitSith]

If any one knows how I can get in the killzone 2 beta plz e-mail me at [email protected]

Thanx

[GameDev]

is unchallenged when it comes to consoles. the 360 will be an afterthought in the wake of the games Sony is releasing for the PS3.
Resistance 2 has already made me forget about Gears 2. I mean seriously why would I want to play a gimped sequel when I have the mother of all sequels sitting in my PS3?

[SSCOOLCHEA]

Those who are in the beta can tell you that KZ2 is the best game that they ever played or seen ( including MGS 4 ). ( again not picking sides kojima is great but killzone 2 just wow )

[tee_bag242]

Yeah the game looks stunning. Touch and go if the CG or Game is better graphics which is a awesome feat.
I think the big difference between the two will be scripting and fluidity of events and action sequences. Hopefully they can do something innovative here and really bring this game home.
Its pretty obvious that the PS3 is capable of the greatness we were promised (and promised) some time ago. GT5 showed tell tale signs of this greatness too. Only thing which is annoying is these games take soooooooo long to come out.

Single player, Online whatever! It is 3 months from being completed, and it has surpassed Cod4 in every way shape and form. Gears while great, has nothing on the actual rendering of physics and sound this BETA posesses. The graphics are amazing, the way the glowing Helghast eyes change in intensity to show draw distance while explosions and bullets and bots are firing is simply superb. Just know, this is the GOY of 2009, and i got 3 weeks with it in 2008 :-)

[tee_bag242]

COD4 is a damn good game too

[Daz]

THem cgi picture are washed out. looks like they have been taken for a youtbe vid:P if people cant see that, tell me why.

i cant wait for killzone 2 but ive seen the e3 2005 trailer in hd and that still looks better. im only saying the truth and properly get hated for it :P
