How Far Have The Playstation 3's Graphics Progressed Since Launch - Killzone 2 vs. Resistance & More Comparisons

PushSquare.com: "The Playstation 3 has been on store shelves for almost 2 years here in Europe and subsequently longer in the US and Japan. Sony often bill their systems as having 10 year life cycles. We only need look at the difference between a Playstation 2 launch title and one of the later releases (God Of War II for example) to see how Playstation platforms are capable of standing the test of time. With 2 years of the Playstation 3's life come and gone, how have things improved visually?

Our comparison finds out."

Not far since the pallette is just 3 shades of brown and 3 shades of grey.

Pennywise5638d ago

You forgot 10 shades of ignorant.

get2sammyb5638d ago

Hmmm. Try the Ratchet & Clank comparison then.

jBat175638d ago

it peaked in its first year. gears of lag 1 look exactly like gears of lag 1.5, i mean gays of lag 2..suckers who bought the 3fixme will now say it's not all about graphics .. i say, you should have gotten a wii instead..

trancefreak5638d ago

Why talk bad about the ps3. Did it like steal your girlfriend. You guys flock in hear like a disease. Seriously is the Xbox 2 not satisfying you of late.

Why dis5638d ago

So sick of PS3 fanboys thinking PS3 has something graphically great with KZ2.

My jaw drops when I play KZ2 not because it looks good but because I don't get WTF these guys are talking about when they talk up KZ2's graphics.

I'v seen games from 2 years ago that look better than KZ2 granted they don't have the amount of things going on at once.

psycho3605638d ago

@whydis

What do you expect from blind people who thot haze was gears/halo killer. If kz2 was 360 exclusive u wud hv seen their comments saying what a pale brown colored looking game with weak textures.

b777conehead5638d ago

hey dis get your eyes chcked you blind 360 fan .

Obama5638d ago

"I'v seen games from 2 years ago that look better than KZ2"

Pog, stop lying, u prick. KZ 2 is the best looking console game period. There's no contest unless you are a freaking bot.

AuToFiRE5638d ago

how many 360 games have been compared to uncharted?

now skip forward a few years, how many 360 games are being compared to killzone 2?

now what has killzone 2 being compared to? Crysis

what is crysis? a graphical power house of a PC GAME

what 360 games have been compared to pc games?

now what was this about better looking console games?

doctorstrange5638d ago

how the article had no standard for which game was new and which was old i.e. sometimes the newer game is on the left sometimes its on the right

christian hour5638d ago

Yeah that was kind of annoying, and the screens were far too small to even notice any difference in detail on most screenshots and comparisons. This article is kind of pointless, naturaly of course the graphics have improved, would be kind of wierd if they hadn't. They've just stated the obvious really, games improve graphically over a consoles life cycle. Way to go captain obvious!

I wouldn't mind that so much if the screen caps were at least a little better.

nix5638d ago

PS3 games vs PS3 games... PS3 owners are the real winner.

i don't know why it took KZ2 to make people realise PS3's power because PS3 always had great games. probably because of the infamous trailer they showed. but i'm not complaining... at least it has opened eyes of the many. good days ahead!

BiG_LU5638d ago

Well I didn't read it yet but for what u said I don't care what other people think or the example they show cuz in the long way I think the PS3 will do pretty good and more with all those good games comming on the way, I don't gonna mention any cuz u know them already lol.

N4360G5638d ago (Edited 5638d ago )

Resistance:Fall Of Man had very good graphics for it's time,the PS3's graphics keep on getting better every year.

thats_just_prime5638d ago (Edited 5638d ago )

I'm agree it is annoying and the screen shots were too small. They also didnt even really try to match them on half and half comparisons didnt make much since. Some of the old screenshots actually looked better

nix and no you idiot fanboy gamers are the winners this gen

SaiyanFury5637d ago

Yeah Sony's first parties seem to be competing internally, but that's not a bad thing. They all strive to deliver the best that they can at the time. With Insomniac offering help to all developers making PS3 games, there's little to worry about. We all benefit and I look forward to the games in the future.

Xbox Street Gang5638d ago

If I wanted a console that was a place holder for the PS3... I would've bought a 360 in '05 because that console was tapped when Gears 1 came out. Guess you bots 'll learn when the PS4 comes out.

trancefreak5638d ago

Ya but if it wasnt true they would mind their own business and here they are talking smack about the greatest console in the world. sad

Xbox Street Gang5638d ago

What a stupid comparison. The only people competing with Sony's first-party is Sony's first-party.

get2sammyb5638d ago

Hmmm. Not sure what your point is? If third-parties aren't willing to step up to the ball of Sony's first-party then that means you're technically being treated to a lesser product.

Graphics aren't everything but they're an interesting way to measure the progress a system makes techinically.

The PS3 is taking strides.

Godmars2905638d ago (Edited 5638d ago )

Pretty sure he's talking about multiplatform titles get2sammyb. Especially 360-build ports, that are never going to stress the PS3. Only have problems on it.

The thing is, are those same games already going to be having problems on the 360 the Last Remnant.

games4fun5638d ago

sony saw the multiplats not giving them 100 percent a mile away and focused on their first party at the beginning of this generation. smart move on sony's part. because waiting for multi's to come to grips took a year and half pretty much but with the focus on first party sony is releasing a multitude of great games all exclusive and a reason to own their console.

Kleptic5638d ago

^^thats exactly it...over the PS2 generation Sony did nearly nothing but strengthened their internal development network...Sony saw the expense coming with HD game development, and was able to invest at the time where they needed to to get the best content to their own system...

this is the exact opposite of MS...whom has done nothing with their gaming budget other than throwing it around as handouts in order to share PS3 games...and all the while closing numerous in house studios...

a lot of MGS games are even based off of UE3...instead of MS building a proprietary middleware product line shared throughout their internal studios...they license 3rd party middleware instead...an easy way to make a decent looking game quickly...but never a way to push ANY envelopes, at least not after the engine is already 3 years old...

but Sony does this each generation...the 1st party stuff initially shows off what the system can do earlier on than any 3rd party software (well mostly, MGS2 was one of the first to push the PS2, MGS4 ditto for the PS3)...and 3rd pary stuff gets up to speed afterwards...you WILL see some incredible 3rd party content eventually, but for now...SCE is the only company pumping millions into the tech side of game development...MS isn't...and Nintendo doesn't even know what any of that is...

It’s Time for Sony to Bring Back Killzone and Resistance

Sony is in the middle of an FPS crisis, but bringing back two much-loved PlayStation shooters could easily be the solution.

shinoff218351d ago

I'd rather them focus on a rpg. Shooters can wait

just_looken51d ago

We have alot of rpg's but only cod for a AAA first person shooter unless you toss in xdefient but that is still fixing 2yr old beta issues.

We need more AAA fps games then rpg's

shinoff218350d ago

Yea right. Theirs so many shooters on the market.

just_looken50d ago

@shin

Name 3 AAA fps games coming out this year

Cacabunga50d ago

I want Killzone yea, but as a gaas no buy!

Cacabunga50d ago

Yes we need some new FPS experiences.. COD is just not engaging enough. We want a Killzone back to the roots, not a Shadow Fall again..

Crows9050d ago

There's tons of RPG in the market too...what's your point exactly.

RaidenBlack50d ago

No Killzone or Resistance or Factions for you ... only Concord & FairGame$

Ironmike50d ago

No more rpg for a while would love a new resistance though

DarXyde50d ago

Agree on preferring RPGs though at this exact moment, it would be great to see more horror games. Another reason why Japan Studio closing is just tragic. Loved Siren.

just_looken50d ago (Edited 50d ago )

Fuck jim ryan japan studio did so much and helped alot with ports/localization

If they were around bloodborn would be possible like how they helped with demon souls ps4 finial fantasy port.

Horror games would be nice but the jim ryan axe job helped alot in killing playstation dev numbers/freedom and increased regulation with the new censorship crap.

1Victor50d ago

If Sony is bringing back a old shooter I would prefer Warhawk or better yet Starhawk

Rynxie50d ago

No thanks. Resistance and killzone were my all time favorite fps games. I completely dominated those games. I met good people, had a ton of fun and have a lot of fond memories. I don't want them to bring back these games, unless they tackle the cheating epidemic. I know I will absolutely hate these games, if I was to play them now, with all the effing cheating going on in fps games.

Psychonaut8550d ago

Bro the market is oversaturated with quality RPGs AND bloated shitty RPGs already.

Inverno51d ago

I honestly don't think we'll be seeing these anytime soon, if ever. Insomniac is officially on Marvel duty since it seems that all they're working on based off the leaks, and Horizon is more of what the casuals want these days. And I now I'll get a bunch of disagrees, but keep in mind that Resistance last got a game on the PS3 (2011) and Killzone was a launch title for the PS4 (2013). 10 years is a long time to make a game, if had any interest they would've done it by now, add InFamous to that list.

just_looken51d ago (Edited 51d ago )

Your right except the dates killzone mercenary was on ps vita 2013 same with resistance burning skies back in 2012

Good-Smurf50d ago

Both of those games are either made by smaller B team or completely different developer.
Killzone Mercenary developed by Guerilla Cambridge which is now defunct.
Resistamce Burning Skies wasn't made by Insomniac but by Nihilistic Software also defunct after the failure of CoD Black Ops Declassified.

just_looken50d ago

@good i know i never said they were

I mentioned them as they were the last games under that ip well killzone was last on ps4 but still even though they are different devs they led to the lose of the ip.

I highly doubt they made up for there budget cost even killzone on ps4 had low sales for such a large ip at the time.

shinoff218350d ago

Infamous should atleast get remastered. I'd be cool with that

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH51d ago

Resistance 3 turned me off to the series but I’d love a reboot. KillZone I think can stay dead. Give me a new Resistance like 1or 2 and I’ll be happy.

JEECE50d ago

Except Resistance 1 and 3 were far more similar, 2 was the outlier. 3 was a great return to form after 2 changed so many things from the first game.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH50d ago

I didn’t like 3 and I didn’t find it similar to the first game.

Moegooner50d ago

2 was the best resistance game.

Michiel198950d ago

agreed, the co-op was my fav in 2

Michiel198950d ago

I'll keep saying it, have Bungie make a new resistance game, a match made in heaven. Although I imagine Bungie would be too proud to take over an existing IP.

Huey_My_D_Long51d ago

I honestly never cared or liked killzone. Huge resistance fan though. I remember so many nights playing melee only on USS Lexington, and I like the alt history vibe.

InUrFoxHole50d ago

Liked KZ more but both those games are better than MAG

Huey_My_D_Long50d ago

Facts.
Since I'm down memory lane, I also wish for remaster of Warhawk.

P_Bomb51d ago

I’ve been barking up that tree for years. 😢

OtterX50d ago

Keep barking, boy! Keep barking! Never give up hope. ;)

Is 2K Games actually making FIFA 25, the next “best” entry yet?

FIFA president Gianni Infantino teases the future of FIFA games in a brand-new interview, and NBA 2K24 studio 2K Games might be behind it.

I truly hope so.. day one buy

Ninver61d ago

Time for a change. Football games haven't evolved much.

Cacabunga61d ago

It’s tough when there is no competition

Abear2161d ago

There’s PES and now we’ll have FC25 and FIFA so yes, but it is no longer true, shit is about to get real!

Now if we only had two viable options for Basketball and American football we’d be on to something.

MrNinosan61d ago

@Abear21
PES didn't exist since 2020, and the rebranded eFootball is crap.

porkChop61d ago

If what we've heard is true, the reason FIFA games don't change is literally because of FIFA itself rejecting nearly every pitch for new features and mechanics.

anast61d ago (Edited 61d ago )

The barber shop and roulette wheel are going to be awesome.

Abear2161d ago

Pay to win is the new free to play

CrimsonWing6961d ago (Edited 61d ago )

Hmmm, let’s see how they do. If they riddle it with microtransactions, hell no. Otherwise, I’m excited.

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

OtterX140d ago (Edited 140d ago )

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro140d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv72140d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_140d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga140d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos140d ago (Edited 140d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt23140d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball2000140d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin140d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole140d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix140d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989140d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor140d ago (Edited 140d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱
