Pre-E3 2010: Killzone 3 And Crysis 2 Head To Head

When matched up graphically, Killzone 3 and Crysis 2 can spark an argument about which game looks better. Both Killzone 3 and Crysis 2 sport some truly extraordinary graphics and feature unique art styles.

ColdFire5125d ago

It's not really a great comparison to be honest.

Timberland2K95124d ago

I think Crysis 2 looks cleaner overall, but Killzone 3's art style still reigns supreme.

morganfell5124d ago

There is also the issue of which one has dull uninspired combat and which one is gritty and in your face.

Elimin85124d ago

One Geegity at a time!? lol

morganfell5124d ago

Do I need any more proof of how jealous non PS3 owners are of titles like Killzone 3? They positively loose control and attack everyone out of anger. Quite funny actually.

BattleAxe5124d ago (Edited 5124d ago )

Non PS3 owners flood Killzone articles and Uncharted articles to make themselves feel better because theres no other platform that has as much going for it.

So far Crysis 2 hasn't shown us anything new. PC gamers get all upset when you criticize Crysis and Crysis Warhead for being all graphics with no substance, but its true. I own Crysis Maximum Edition, played through both games and tried Crysis Wars a few times back in November of last year and havent gone back since. Crytek has alot to prove, but if Crysis 2 actually ends up being a great game I'll buy it, but so far it looks just ok.

menoyou5124d ago (Edited 5124d ago )

Crysis 2 has more polygons but Killzone 3 has way better animation, A.I., etc. This is exactly like what happened between Killzone 2 and Crysis 1. Killzone 2 and 3 win in my book. They are much more immersive than a generic shooter with great detail.

PotatoClock5124d ago

Geez, who cares?
Crysis didn't have much gameplay and Killzone 2 was just boring.
Quit trying to talk up which game is better and just play something and wait patiently instead. Time will tell.

Conloles5124d ago (Edited 5124d ago )

Wow and here everyone will say KZ3 looks better even though it is only 720P runs at 30FPS and isnt even set in an open world environment.

@Menoyou

I disagree on the AI, maybe on the animation but considering Crysis is an OPEN WORLD game it is clearly superior but of course your a PS3 fanboy so its no point putting facts in front of you.

Crysis will have the superior graphics simply because it's on the PC.

I doubt how it will look on the console versions, and comparing PS3 Crysis to PS3 Killzone 3 is the only fair comparison to make, but what's the point? Are we trying to find what has the best graphics overall? It's Crysis on PC.

Are we trying to see what's got the best graphics on consoles? Then likely Killzone 3 when it releases, (I contend UC2 still looks the best).

Really, I don't see the point. Both games will look great, and they are just so different to compare that it's worthless to try, especially since these are such early models. I will say however, that the guns and death animations in Killzone look far more effective and dramatic than in that Crysis trailer.

Anti-PS35124d ago

Damn Alpha-Male22 you cannot bring your logical thinking to this website. That is blasphemous.

thewhoopimen5124d ago

if you ask me PC Crysis2 > Killzone 3. If you ask me console KZ3 > Crysis 2.
I think so anyway. Between the two trailers... KZ3 looks more polished at this point.

Sm0k3y_Bac0n5124d ago

A reasonable, rational and logical analysis of a situation? WTF you doing on N4G??

mal_tez925124d ago

I agree with you. But then again, it also depends on what hardware your PC has. My old computer would definitely run Crysis 2 with better than Killzone graphics, but my new one will not :(

Snakefist305123d ago

Dont Talk Bullshit Dude Cause Only Those Who Hv Fully Upgrade There Pc Wil Able To Play Crysis At Full Setting.I Can Assure Many Pc Gamers Around The World Doesnt Hv Fully Upgraded Pc Like Me Will Not Be Able To Feel The True Graphics And Gameplay..And Abut The Ps3 u Dont Need To Upgrade Anything It Builtin.So Its Is Already AT Full Setting.

crysis 2 (on consoles) will not look better than killzone 3. Based on what we have seen of both games Killzone 3 is another league!

Personally I am not even impressed with crysis 2's graphics right now. They seem kind of overhyped.

deadreckoning6665124d ago (Edited 5124d ago )

Oh please. How approves this shit? Two unreleased/unfinished games. C'mon people.

"crysis 2 (on consoles) will not look better than killzone 3. Based on what we have seen of both games Killzone 3 is another league!"

I agree, but..so what? Graphics aren't the only thing that it'll make me buy a game. I'll most likely be buying both.

And regarding ur "overhyped" comment...there not overhyped... for the PC at least. The console versions look great...but no where close to KZ3 pre-alpha IMO. Its a shame that they're gimping the PS3 version graphically to keep it "equal" to the 360 version...but who knows, the gameplay might be awesome.

"killzone is lacking major detail and textures (blurrrrrr)."

Yes, thats definetly true. But I don't expect it to look like a game built for a $3000 PC. KZ3 looks AMAZING for a console game. But I think in one year, it can potentially look a TAD better than Crysis 1. Crysis 2 on PC? No ones touching that for a while graphically.

Studio-YaMi5124d ago

Sometimes I see fanboyish comments on your behalf,but I can't agree more with you this time,it's common sense,it's not like we are comparing PS3 to PS3,it's PC to PS3,and Crysis is being made by a brilliant studio,so it's not going to be your all the time mediocre half assed pc game,it's going to be an amazing game (graphics wise) like crysis 1 was.

People forget that just because a game is better than another game (graphic wise) doesn't mean the other one sucks :/ !

Not to mention,Killzone 3 & other PS3 titles proved that console games can look as great as PC games,but because of the console lack in hardware,it can't be pushed even further.

But to be honest here,we don't see as many great looking PC games like we see them on consoles,but when a great looking PC game comes out (like crysis,GTA 4 and others) we can actually feel the difference !

Not to mention the mods that you can make for PC games !

so in conclusion :
I gave you a bubble of "well said" and a +1 :) !

muDD5124d ago

fanbois stop being delusional.

Just look at the character models.

killzone is lacking major detail and textures (blurrrrrr).

crysis is crisp. beautiful...

ALFAxD_CENTAURO5124d ago

Let's take the facts that Crysis 2 is already in Beta stage, Crytek will release a Multiplayer Beta, and Crysis 2 will come this year.

Killzone 2 is in Pre Alpha or Alpha Stage, not even a Beta and Killzone 3 will be released next Year.

KZ3 will have better graphics and they will add new things next year.

muDD5124d ago (Edited 5124d ago )

first is kz3
next is black ops.

Black ops has more than 3 colors and much more visible detail. (Crysis2 looks better) You fanbois are delusional... you guys need some serious help. Im not say killzone 3 looks bad, shoot, ill probably get it. But sorry, IT IS NOT the best looking game i've seen.

goodfellas275124d ago (Edited 5124d ago )

For Technical superiority on console, I think Killzone got the edge over Crisis 2. The animation, lighting, physics and particle effect just looks better on Killzone3. Just look at the animation when the enemy gets shoot or brutally kill: have any of you see that level of animation on a FPS console before? Please show me if I’m incorrect.

Killzone 3 takes the cake 4 graphics. Crisis takes the cake on V-sync problems

MNicholas5124d ago

unless Crysis 2 runs at 60fps on consoles, there's no comparison. There's little that's truly techinically impressive or unique in the Crysis 2 vids shown.

Apart from the inevitable hype involving anything named Crysis, it appears to be another generic shooter.

Vanquish seems a lot more interesting. The new fighting modes in Killzone 3 could be interesting as well but time will tell if it's useful or just a gimmick.

360 man5124d ago

i have to say kill zone 3 does look better. but it looks like its running at 20 frames per second. whats up with that

Inside_out5124d ago (Edited 5124d ago )

I suspect Crysis will have a demo play thru at E3...lets compare then...in the mean time Crysis is up against Halo Reach ( 14 wks away ), Brink, MOH and of course COD black ops...ALL this year...that's the competition...All those games will have live demo's...game play will be definitive ( all releasing in 5 mnths or less ) and are fighting for consumer dollars THIS YEAR...

I think gamers will be blown away by how good all those games are...

Gears of War 3 has yet to show it's Demo...I suspect Gears will blow everyone away...luckily, we won't have to wait to long to find out...

KZ 3..well..I was very disappointed...the trailer was a mess and should of never been shown like that...Low res and frame rate issues was evident everywhere including all the pre-rendered cut-scenes...Melee attack is a good idea being performed badly...The camera has to pull back to a TPS view so you can see what is going on...Same for the jet pack...many FPS games pull the camera back when performing a melee attack or using a heavy weapon, Fallout and Halo being 2 examples...Kotaku had a go at the live demo and said it still needs a lot of work...that much is obvious...

Personally. I think Kz 3 could be in trouble...the mad push for 3D and the talent drain ( Brink ) is obviously hurting Guerilla...Hopefully, they can pull it together before 2011...

hennessey865124d ago

crysis 2 is the better looking game killzone 3 looks amazing but i prefer games that go for gritty realism not great art style so in my opinion crysis 2 all the way and bring on the fangirl onslaught

Shepherd 2145124d ago

Trust me Morganfell, im not jealous of Killzone. None in the least.

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

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar410d ago

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

jznrpg410d ago

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

badz149410d 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!

Vengeance1138410d 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 Kim410d ago

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

VersusDMC410d 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?

Vengeance1138410d ago

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

solideagle410d 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.

Phoenix76410d ago

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

thesoftware730410d ago (Edited 410d ago )

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.

blacktiger410d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca410d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy410d ago (Edited 410d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal410d ago

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

Imalwaysright410d 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

MadLad1161d 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.

Applejack1161d 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_B1161d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1161d 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.

1161d ago
Vegamyster1161d 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.

SinkingSage1161d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1161d ago (Edited 1161d 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.

MadLad1160d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1161d 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_vulgaris1339d 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.
