Crysis 2 on consoles can't touch Killzone 2 let alone 3.

Istanbull4844d ago

Killzone 3 looks so much better than Killzone 2, Killzone 2 looks so much better than Crysis 2.

Damn there are a lot of butthurt people on N4G. loI love it!

http://youtu.be/owzhYNcd4OM

Comparing a PC title to a console game is freaking hilarious. How do these butthurt gamers spell desperation? C R Y S I S
haha

And Killzone 2 still can't be matched by any title on Xbox so what the hell are you laughing at exactly? lmao!

NiKK_4194844d ago (Edited 4844d ago )

isn't the 3rd picture really backwards? the top is 2 and the bottom is 3, at least that's what they showed it as on that site with the 1 vs 2 vs 3 comparison

btw i love the way 3 looks, but it just doesn't feel as dark and gritty as 1 and 2, idk i guess i'll have to play the singleplayer before i can't say

read few reviews you fool, it's a new visual benchmark.

MarcusFenixITA4844d ago

BS - The textures are much better and the colors are finer and brighter. And even if it would like part it would still be one of the best looking games around.

kingjoker344844d ago

hornyhaggis you sir, are a Fool.

SoapShoes4844d ago

Bunch of butt hurt fanboys trying to make Killzone 3 look bad to sooth their pain.

hoops4844d ago

KZ3 looks better than Crysis 2 on consoles. Plain and simple.

FinalSpartan4844d ago

stunning graphics.

But as it turns out the game is suffering from average reviews.

85% metacritic oh dear.
88% metacritic Black Ops ( Game hated by PS fanboys apprantly )

Grimmjow4844d ago

Average=70%-80%. Are you a high school dropout? :(

SpitFireAce854844d ago

Just shows how bias media can be a sub HD
game..laggy,random disconnects,graphics
that COD4 trumps a 4 year old game...

Like IGNs review of COD:BlackOps

http://www.ign.com/videos/2...

And Killzone 3

http://www.ign.com/videos/2...

Watch both videos to the end 2 negatives for
BlackOps VS Killzone3 1 negative yet they get
the same score...+ no mentioning of Co-Op
which everyone had a problem with KZ2..

@HornyHaggis care to show us all some ps3 footage of crysis 2 to compare? oh yeah you can't.

Raendom4844d ago

Another German article, another article featuring the word "stunning" in it's title.

4844d ago
hoops4844d ago

The differences are not that big at all. And it would not be because its the same engine as KZ2 just optimized more.
KZ3 has a far better color palate this time around and some more lighting but otherwise its almost the same as KZ2.
This will be the same thing for Gears 3. It looks the same as Gears 2 with a bit more lighting and color. Why? Same engine as Gears 2.

DoomeDx4844d ago

3x more polygons
High resolution textures
More objects on screen
Texture-streaming
Huge areas.

hoops4844d ago (Edited 4844d ago )

It looks almost the same simply because it uses the same engine as the last game but opitimzed. This also applies to Gears 3, ME2 and even Halo Reach.
If a game uses the same game engine for the most part in its sequel, there wont be a huge difference other than a few tweaks and lighting differences and textures. The one exception I can think of is Uncharted 2 where the differences from the first Uncharted to the second was big.

"No, it does look better to me. Is it a big jump? No, but it is a nice sized improvement. Less jaggies, better textures, etc."

That's exactly what I am saying. It looks better but its not a big jump as some people on this site wish it was. It looks almost the same with more polish/optimization.
Saying that KZ2/3 is still one of the best looking games around.

SoapShoes4844d ago

No, it does look better to me. Is it a big jump? No, but it is a nice sized improvement. Less jaggies, better textures, etc.

yewles14844d ago (Edited 4844d ago )

You forgot to add:

Real Dynamic Lighting
SSAO
Object Motion Blur
MLAA

BlackKnight4844d ago

@yewles1

There is no SSAO, at least not in the beta I just played all last night. It's baked in.

Also odd, there was a side screen blur in killzone 2 to make it look like it was doing DOF, but now its completely gone. And also, unless it is because it was beta, textures on enemies and weapons were great, but some walls and cabinets and railings and floors (it was 50/50) had the lowest resolution textures I have ever seen.

DoomeDx4844d ago

^Above.

Killzone 2 already had Object motionblur, SSAO, and dynamic lights

yewles14844d ago (Edited 4844d ago )

Sorry, but the first PS3 title with SSAO was UC2, the original 4D rendering engine in Killzone 2 couldn't handle proper lighting or random shadows (their first attempt), and no how fast you moved, nothing blurred (even Guerrilla devs themselves talked about adding the effect in this one). This is a MUCH bigger jump than most people think it is.

Edit: Before anyone complains, 4D rendering = Defferred rendering.

BlackKnight4844d ago

@wesley-dw

Almost all games have dynamic lights. I think you are talking about deferred lighting, where you can have ALOT more dynamic lights.

Also, KZ2 had no SSAO and from the beta I just played of KZ3, no SSAO still, just nicely pre-baked AO.

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.

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-ro62d ago

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

darthv7262d 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_62d ago

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

Cacabunga62d ago

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

Profchaos62d ago (Edited 62d 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

seanpitt2362d 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!

Iceball200063d ago

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

Father__Merrin63d ago

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

InUrFoxHole63d ago

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

Marcus Fenix63d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198962d ago

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

1Victor63d ago (Edited 63d 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 😱

Michiel198962d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

SullysCigar367d ago

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

1Victor367d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar367d ago

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

jznrpg366d ago

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

badz149366d 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!

Vengeance1138367d 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 Kim367d ago

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

VersusDMC367d 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?

Vengeance1138367d ago

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

solideagle367d 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.

Phoenix76367d 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

REDGUM366d ago

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

thesoftware730367d ago (Edited 367d 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.

blacktiger366d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca367d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy367d ago (Edited 367d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal366d ago

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

Imalwaysright366d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.

Top 20 Best PlayStation 3 Games (20-11)

Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Is the PlayStation 3 retro? This is a surprisingly hard question to answer as the system definitely has the age to be considered retro, having launched in 2006, over 15 years ago now. But with it being home to so many massive games, many of which still hold up today and in fact were released for the PlayStation 4 when that console was released, make the PS3 a retro console that doesn’t feel retro."

shinoff2183738d ago

No ps3 is not retro. I dont even consider ps2 era retro. All imo.

shinoff2183738d ago

Typically, the term retro is given to items which are at least 20 years old (but not yet 40 years old).

Quick google search

badz149738d ago

No the PS3 is not yet a retro console. But if you're gonna put 1 game from a series in this list, then LBP2 should be there instead of the original, Motorstorm PR is also an overall better game than the 1st game and to put Tools of Destruction over A Crack in Time is a blasphemy when ACiT is the best game in the series.
