The Ultimate Head-to-Head: Crysis 2 Now Set To Rival Killzone 3

In EA's recent financial report, Crysis 2 is set to release Q1, 2011. But another FPS behemoth is also releasing then by the name of Killzone 3. Ladies and gentlemen, I believe we have an awesome fight of the FPS's coming up. Any thoughts on the winner of the battle?

for the killzone hype with killzone 2 and bought it...wont happen again...im sure killzone will sell just as well as killzone 2....heh.....and it will come and go.....as 2 did.....killzone was hyped came..and went away and only place it is ever talked about or brought up..is here...no one..and i mean NO ONE..i know..or game with...over all my xbox live friends..all my ps3 friends....all my real life gamer friends....play or even bought or touched killzone....im sure it will die with a whimper...as 2 did

supremacy5029d ago

sell over 2 million copies?

if so why are there still people playing it online?

I mean..not to compare oranges and apples here, but Alan wake is talked about, but that game according to many critics and gamers is a failure?

So..whats your point bro, just because people on your friends list/s which (I'm sure) doesn't even make up one third of the worlds population don't play or talk about a certain game/s doesn't mean it sucks or its no longer relevant.

ATLGAMER5029d ago

came out and forgot about it ...but uncharted two is still up there with gaming gods

bjornbear5029d ago

I think ON GAME CONSOLES******** both these games will have a clash of titans!

and I will be buying both games and playing them until my brain melts to a pulp and I'm forever stuck in "the.best.graphics.on.a.c onsole.this.generation" limbo!

NY_Pride5029d ago (Edited 5029d ago )

I love how the first comparison is made with a PS3 title and not a Xbox one. :D

@bjornbear lol and agree will be picking them both up.

raztad5029d ago (Edited 5029d ago )

Early impressions from the beta rooms are very positive for KZ3. Besides visuals which are a given, it seems the game controls are much tighter, so it would totally clear the biggest complain from many players about KZ2. KZ3 will be a hit.

Crysis 2 is multiplat and to be released away from COD is a wise move. Even if KZ3 steals its market on PS3, it will have PC and xbox userbase to sell, by that time both Halo/COD fever would have cooled down a bit, so the climate will be much better.

On a side note: I watched Crysis 2 footage on PSN and I'm not impressed. It has some good textures, but I dont think the overall package matches KZ2. I might be wrong tho, C2 PS3 version is supposed to be (finally) shown on Gamescom. Looking forward to it.

Christopher5029d ago

I think this will only paint a picture of Crysis 2 selling even worse on the PS3, leading them further down the line to think that the PS3 isn't a viable option as a platform. Business-wise, I see that they want to compete with the shooter that's sold less (Halo and CoD both sell more), but it doesn't speak well for the future support of the game on the PS3, IMHO, which isn't reflective of the PS3 user's want for the game but them putting it up against a leading exclusive title.

socomnick5029d ago

Kz3 was no match for halo reach so of course they stopped comparing then. Now they are just comparing two mediocre franchises.

yoshiroaka5029d ago (Edited 5029d ago )

@NYC_gamer
How dare you come in here with that hippie tree hugging everybody wins attitude.

Fanboy up or gtfo!! lol/ jking

Yea i hope they both do well.
Crysis should do a lot better in sales compared to the first crysis as well as killzone 3 seeing a its on 3 platforms now.

ATi_Elite5029d ago (Edited 5029d ago )

As a PC gamer I know first hand that a lot of PC gamers are not interested in Crysis 2.

Crysis was a mediocre graphics whore of a game, Crysis Warhead was just as boring and Crysis 2 is nothing but a console port with the same sleeping pill game play.

Killzone 3 on the PC would sell millions.

Forget Crysis 2 I'm using that money for Star Wars: The Old Republic

Crysis 2 is all hype.

ALFAxD_CENTAURO5029d ago

Crysis 2 for PC.

But in Consoles, I prefer Killzone 3 by far.

Tachyon_Nova5029d ago

Agreed. But I love how the author manages to deside that Crytek attacked Killzone 3 when they said that the 3D in Crysis 2 is better. Thats not an attack, its an opinion, if a biased one.

meetajhu5029d ago

I see the point that Rage will crush both the games! There is no comparison with Rage

mobijoker5029d ago (Edited 5029d ago )

If KZ3 becomes the best ever fps,it will never beat crysis 2 in sales even if the crysis 2 is subpar.Bcoz kz3 has got the potential to reach 1/4 of the gaming community if 100% of ps3 owners buy this.On the other hand,crysis potentially got whole community.If only 25% of them buys it(which is more than possible),it will certainly beat kz3.

marinelife95029d ago

I haven't seen anything to rival the ice level build of Killzone 3 from Crysis.

vhero5029d ago

Crysis won't match Killzone on consoles however it will no doubt beat it on PC. Obviously because they will nuke it so 360 and ps3 versions look very similar. We have seen it time and time again 360 bringing down the quality of PS3 games FF13 was the ultimate example. It looked great until they decided to make it multiplatform. Don't get me wrong it still looked good after launch but a shadow of those early shots from the exclusive version.

playstation_clan5030d ago

see, i wouldnt put this under the xbox 360 section. These games are graphically competitive on ps3

360Defender5029d ago

Too bad you have to compare the PS3 version of Crysis 2. That version is seriously gimped so it can run on a console. The PC version on the other hand makes any console game including Kz3 look sad.

Mustang300C20125029d ago

Shows how little you know of the development on all 3 platforms. Educate yourself.

bjornbear5029d ago (Edited 5029d ago )

My guesstimate:

KZ3 >>>>>> 360 CRYSIS2

if I'm wrong I will accept my error, until then, I'm bettn' my BOTTOM DOLLAR!

now...does that mean KZ3 will be better on than crysis2 PS3? I don't know...that I will find out for myself.

waterboy5029d ago

unless your saying crysis looks better than cg

LordMarius5030d ago (Edited 5030d ago )

Shame, I was planning to try both, but now because of lack of time and resources Killzone 3 will do

redDevil875029d ago

Same. I was going to get Crysis 2 day 1 this year. Hopefully there's sometime between they re release so i can save up to get both.

Christopher5029d ago

And this is exactly what most will do, and it paints the picture that PS3 gamers don't want Crysis 2. It's not that, it's that they will most likely take KZ3 before Crysis 2.

Dylantalon15030d ago

killzone 2 will look better than crysis 2 on consoles so its a safe bet killzone 3 will annihilate crysis 2, because killzone 3 in pre alpha form looks spectacular and outdoes killzone 2. graphics matters also and whoever says it doesn't have rubbish tellys often times. graphics are also a guaging tool to judge if a dev put a lot of time and quality in a game. a lot of my words will diminish on illiterate minds so i wont bother going on and on about the truth. one game is a ps3 exclusive and the other is multiplatform and we all know that sony first party devs are amazing . i cant wait to see resistance 3.

waterboy5029d ago

its just going to look a tiny bit better than the 360 version

DigitalRaptor5029d ago (Edited 5029d ago )

Crysis 2 will use as much power from the PC, as the first one did.

Console versions won't look as good by a slight margin. But, I'm sure the PS3 version will (or should) look better than the 360 version.

likedamaster5029d ago

Don't tell me, Talon is for talented?

Colonel-Killzone5029d ago (Edited 5029d ago )

OMG are you kidding me LMFAO ?! They will both be great end of story lets move on to a different topic.

-Alpha5029d ago (Edited 5029d ago )

Notice how this article completely lacks content? It's something that should be posted on a forum not a news feed.

This is one of the laziest ways of writing news. Notice instead of objectively posting it as news he asks the community which he thinks will be better. He uses the news to launch a comparison, despite it being done many times before.

N4G has really whored and glorified this concept. These sites get hits for doing nothing more than posing a simple question while masquerading it as news or as a "head to head comparison". There is nothing in this article at all worthy of hits.

Copy and paste the info from Wikipedia, put two games on one page and call it a comparison. Maybe it's just me, but I find it very lazy.

Colonel-Killzone5029d ago (Edited 5029d ago )

I been saying this for 2 weeks now. The news is lacking on N4G very badly. If its not comparisons then we get

Top 10 exclusives for this console
Reasons why this will fail and this will succeed and so on

Most of the articles is simply opinions and shouldn't even be reported as actual gaming news. I can deal with Review scores etc but this crap has to stop eventually. All this does is create more fanboys into this pointless console war.

Meodia_Art5029d ago (Edited 5029d ago )

Alpha, it was originally posted as news on my site, only for my site. I just wanted to post that Crysis 2 now has the same release time table as Killzone 3. I did not mean for this to be on N4G. I did not submit it, I did not approve it.

It's news for people that don't know about the Crysis 2 delay.

-Alpha5029d ago

That's fine Meodia, but this has been common with many, many, sites using the same method.

Like Colonel said it's either something like this, or even worse, Top X lists. There are just so many independent sites that it's taken the value out of running your own gaming site because they are all the same. Most of the time it's just normal gamers who have a stage to have their opinion channeled. Nothing against people trying to make a name in the industry but there is such an over-pollution and N4G streams it.

What I really hate is that these sites seem to form and shape how the industry and fanboys react. For example, some sites post false news and developers get wind of it and have to denounce it. Stuff like that shouldn't even happen. Anyways, I digress- this sort of stuff should be on forums is all I'm saying, most people use titles to start conversations here rather than reading the content of the article.

Meodia_Art5029d ago

I understand Alpha, and I'm guilty of doing the same. But the way to the top is not with half quality articles with lists anyone can compile. It's about putting passion into the industry we interact with every day.

I've added my opinions to the end of the "news". Just for you sir and anyone else that wants quality. If you can offer me more advice or criticism, it would be heavily appreciated. We all have a dream, mine will come through the help of other people.

:)

writersblock5029d ago

I ran a site for a bit and I had a decent amount of hits. Then my friend Andy wrote up an article on PSN vs XBL. It was a shitty 70 words article with 2 pictures, but I posted it. FRONT page on N4G and the most hits I had gotten up to that point so far.

And I'll tell you why they do it. I got 15 dollars on google adsense from all my hits. Made 15 dolllars with a 70 word flamebait article

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

1Victor368d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar368d ago

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

jznrpg367d ago

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

badz149367d 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!

Vengeance1138368d 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 Kim368d ago

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

VersusDMC368d 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?

Vengeance1138368d ago

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

solideagle368d 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.

Phoenix76368d 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.

blacktiger367d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca368d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy368d ago (Edited 368d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal368d ago

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

Imalwaysright368d 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

MadLad1119d 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.

Applejack1119d 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_B1119d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1119d 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.

1119d ago
Vegamyster1119d 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.

SinkingSage1118d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1118d ago (Edited 1118d 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.

MadLad1118d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1119d 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.

Knightofelemia1297d ago

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_vulgaris1296d 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.
