Killzone 3′s Visual Evolution Is Phenomenal: A Screenshot Comparison

GB: "It’s been over six months since Killzone 3 was revealed to the gaming world. A lot has happened in between and one of the things that I am glad to report is the fact that Killzone 3 looks amazing now, even better than Killzone 2. In order to prove this we have compared screens released in June to the ones that were released now, in December. The differences are astonishing. Check it out above."

omg I am proud to be a PS3 owner ;)

NateCole4874d ago

Between U2 and KZ2 i still maintain KZ2 looks better visually.

It's just my preference art style wise.

I like the realistic real war gritty look in KZ2. To me it really looks like realistic CG.

This is not a knock on U2 but art style wise the colours look cartoonish CG. You can easily tell its a game. KZ2 on the other hand at certain points makes you take a double take if its real sci fi war movie grounded in reality or a game.

Kleptic4874d ago

yeah the only thing to be compared is the art style really...ND used hand painted texturing, giving it that graphic novel like overall appearance and style...While killzone 2 used a much more traditional photo-realistic approach, but with massive amounts of filtering and post-processing effects to create a more realistic yet cinematic style...

on a tech level...They both succeed beyond anything else on consoles, save maybe GOW III...but its impossible to say one was 'better' than the other overall...its just whatever you prefer art wise...

Sevir044873d ago

Can only Be experienced on an "outdated hardware" if you listen to PC fanboys on N4G!!! and i'm happy about that, because these PC elitist Spend thousands of dollars to run a game that can even run it self without taking great consessions to run the game on means for being stable!

And it's costing Owners of the PS3, any where between 600 - 300 bucks depending on the time you purchased the system.

Goes to show, What system is more capable of showing prowess in graphics. PC games like Crysis may look amazing and even metro but even in those same lines Games like GT5 KZ2 Uncharted and GOW3 are being dragged into comparisons and being nomiated for best graphics while PC games are getting no love what so ever!

Gamer1124874d ago

I remember ppl saying the same thing about killzone2.

gameraxis4874d ago

Just goes to show ya that "gray" tone, was a preference for GG not a limitation... even tho i disagree with those who said it was like gears gray, then orange.. in fact, all of the games had nice variation of colors, but just went to a grimmer saturation to compliment the mood... but anyways... here's to all those knocking "grey" games, thinking its a technical issue and not even considering the skill of the dev team, OR the hardware

JohnnyHalo4868d ago

LMFAO! I bet you put so much effort in writing that. Sorry kid but no matter how much you ramble about your favorite game the reviews speak for themselves.

gameraxis4867d ago

lets see around 50 words a min, maybe a little less... you do the math, I'm talking about gears too fool... as in I like both their color tones saying it compliments the mood. On top of that your TOTALLY contradicting yourself. Based on lets see... BOTH games I mentioned got a metacritic of 9 or higher, then on top of that you totally misunderstood what i was even typing JUST to take what you thought to be an opposing side to killzone which there's isn't a pro side on my end except for GAMES in general. Did you even graduate grammar school yet? Because your reading comprehension and reasoning skills are well below UNDER developed.

JohnnyHalo4873d ago

@cyborg

That's what they said about GT5..........

BubloZX4873d ago

I remember them saying that GT5 was gonna be the most realistic racing sim. Not best looking game

gameraxis4868d ago (Edited 4868d ago )

What of gt5? Do me a favor go into arcade mode turn damage and difficulty all the way up and tell me when you smash your right front tire u veer to the right constantly, and the type of control varies depending on a front wheel or four wheel drive car. (or awd like bmw and wrx's...) That's just a little example because i could go into crazy detail all about poly bending rather than texture swapping, REAL lighting that shadows each obstacle in between the sun and your car, and control tweaks that make it play the way you want. All without a hitch in the frame rate, as a matter of fact, it runs SO silky smooth. The only problems I've seen are a little judder in the windshield wipers, and the funky jagged shadowing that's left after the patch, which i guarantee will be gone soon (new forza coming cough cough) But that's what you have to deal with when your running dynamic lighting with probably 100 lights on the track and car, sometimes they overlap and cause that funky looking shadowing like in k2 on the beach level (on the gun) but that didn't last long did it? I'm not a huge racing fan, I'll do two or three a year (1 arcade like motorstorm 2, or burnout and a sim, this is the first gt5 game i really got into and its better than every other game I've rented or bought... not as high octane as shift, but none the less better with options, content, realism, gameplay and graphics.
So I ask again what about gt5? I really want to hear the complaints of a spoiled kid that started playing games on the 360 or xbox 1 to chime in here... Instead of appreciating what X game on the 360 or Y game on the ps3 is accomplishing, choose the path or a jaded soul who is never satisfied, like a baby without its pacifier. You want to complain about X,Y or Z game? Take it to the ones that cost 60 dollars like tony hawk, tomb raider (not guardian of light), or Legendary. Focus all your attention on the developers that arn't delivering, and leave the fanboy, along with the EPICS, and Cryreks and GG's and ND's and Bungies and IW's and Treyarch's and PD's of the world alone. Because sure, all the games those companies produce may not be perfect, but managed to blow 90 percent of their intended audience out of the water, reached new bounds in where they wanted to go with the game, and satisfied the gamer. Gt5 lived up to my expectations, AND a lot more, where as those other devs get to advertise a cinematic cg trailer, get the suckers to buy it just to make the company a couple mill off the suckiest game out there, giving them the impression that we're all stupid and allowing them to do it again and again and again. I hate this fanboy war shit, there should be a sike eval to gain access to this sight that somehow determines whether u respect others opinions and realize they may be different than yours, but none the less you respect them. I'm sorry if GT5 didn't come through for many of you guys, but all the people on my friends list put ALL their games away and have been keeping that game in their tray for a LONG time now...and i can't wait to get it, once the cod and ssf4 in my is all washed up. Played 2 hours of it in career after borrowing it, then some arcade races to see what it was truly like. Along with gttv, and ALL those other gems... and i can't WAIT until i'm sick of everything i have at the moment and buy GT5. Because I'm gonna need total dedication to get the most out of it. thank you (is that paragraph style good enough? To the person who commented on my last wall of text) because this sight doesn't let u form 5 space indents and the like. So if a lot of words confuse you, skip on down people. or report me as spam

Damn sev looks amazing, crysis 2 will have met its match on consoles.

Ratchet5104874d ago

crysis is on all consoles so the power of the pc is shared with the other consoles. thats why exclusives look better. for example U3, MGS4, KZ3, R3, Ratchet and Clank ALL4ONE, list keeps going on.

Dark_king4874d ago

first crysis 2 pc version will not be hampered by the console version.In fact it made them design the game to be more scalable.Meaning now lower end machines can play and handle it,yet monster rigs won't max it out.While on console I don't think it will be considered for any graphics crowns because of the devs.They are great pc devs but well their not very efficient and efficiency is more important on console then pc.

Ju4874d ago

Crysis 2 has yet to match anything on consoles. So far its not up there.

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

1Victor354d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar354d ago

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

jznrpg353d ago

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

badz149353d 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!

Vengeance1138354d 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 Kim354d ago

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

VersusDMC354d 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?

Vengeance1138354d ago

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

solideagle354d 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.

Phoenix76354d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.
Not too bad for an ip that's only been on market for 6 years

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware730354d ago (Edited 354d 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.

blacktiger353d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca354d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy354d ago (Edited 354d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal353d ago

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

Imalwaysright353d 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

MadLad1105d 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.

Applejack1105d 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_B1105d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1105d 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.

1105d ago
Vegamyster1104d 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.

SinkingSage1104d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1104d ago (Edited 1104d 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.

MadLad1104d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1104d 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

The RPCS3 devs are doing great work. And Kami works nicely with it too it seems.
Very neat.

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.

Knightofelemia1282d 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_vulgaris1282d 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.
