Crysis 2 vs Killzone 3: The truth

I have just completed Crysis 2 on my Xbox360 and what I can tell you right now is Crysis 2 on Xbox360 is easily one of the best looking games of this generation. But now, everyone wants to know how the game stack up against Sony’s exclusive FPS Killzone 3 in term of visuals.

Both games look impressive. But I like the colorful visuals of Crysis 2 more.

"but when the actual gameplay begins, you will be roaming in wide areas with multiple baths"

multiple baths huh..

DatNJDom814798d ago

The truth? LOL. It's called your perspective "gaming journalist". Not the truth. Truth is a universally known fact. For example, people need oxygen to breathe. That would be truth. Change the title of your article for better credibility.

My review for this article: 3/10

I'm going to start reviewing articles from now on.

sikbeta4798d ago

The truth is that if you have a PS3 you can play both games, you can choose what game is better for you and based on your opinion decide which is the best, not some lame site, enough said.

Deputydon4798d ago

@ksense

To be fair, almost every Crysis video you see, somewhere there is a room flooded with water...

Active Reload4798d ago

" 'I have just completed Crysis 2 on my Xbox360...' "

"I stopped reading right there. "

Just put PS3 in place of Xbox 360 and carry on as you were, lol.

malandra4798d ago (Edited 4798d ago )

this is just a bunch of excuses for Crysis 2 not looking as good as Killzone 3: the enviroment, the lightning, the colors, longer campaign, etc

Killzone 3 looks better. Period.

if you're factoring in the artistic design of the game we can say that Shadow of the Colossus has better graphics than Crysis 2

and BTW Crysis 2 is the best looking game on the 360 but falls very short of the graphical king: Uncharted 2

(last night I finished Crysis 2 SP on my 360 on soldier difficulty, it took me 7 hours and 10 minutes accorsing to the in game counter but that's probably just puere gameplay, in reality was around 8 and half hours, about an hour longer than Killzone 3)

OneSneakyMofo4798d ago (Edited 4798d ago )

Searched Crysis 2 on the website, and these are the results:

- Crysis 2 vs Killzone 3: The truth (Crysis 2 wins in graphics)
- Dear Crytek: Crysis 2 isn’t ready, delay it (funny that it will blow us away)
- Crysis 2 on Xbox360 will blow you away (funny how they should delay it)

I searched Killzone 3 on the website, and these are the results:
- Crysis 2 vs Killzone 3: The truth
-Killzone 3, Rage? Bulletstorm looks more impressive visually (Lolwut?)

Conclusion: 360 fan, move along.

DualConsoleOwner4798d ago (Edited 4798d ago )

"Yea... Crysis 2 AA is bad... but you dont notice in dark places..."

LOL.

that is just pathetic excuse for having poor AA...

Kinda obvious it is a bad article once author starts making poor excuse for game having a lot of jaggies.

paintsville4798d ago

Well here's just another article backing up what i've been saying for weeks now. "Crysis 2, at least on 360 anyway, is the best looking and most technically advanced piece of software on the market. FACT. Great job Crytek. Way to show developers how it's done. Whoop.

mfwahwah4798d ago (Edited 4798d ago )

WOW DatNJDom81. Go to college. Take an English course. Learn a little about titles. You're taking them to be a tad more serious than they're intended to be. Everybody knows it's just his opinion. That's implied by it being an opinion piece. The reader is expected to not be completely brain dead, so an author is allowed a little freedom with their embellishment. Relax.

Dee_914798d ago

Crysis is hands down the best looking multiplat
but It seem that people are confusing alot of things when comparing crysis 2 to kz3
like the different artistic styles
kz3 is more dark grungy and cry 2 is more light and vibrant
so its really which do you prefer
some people prefer the dark grungy look in kz3 and some like the light and vibrant colors in cry 2
i think a better comparison would be between crysis and uncharted because they both have similar artistic styles

but i respect crysis devs for showing all these sorry ass devs ( cough cough activision cough )
that it is possible to make a game that look this good on multiplat

it sorta just broke the stereotype of multiplats cant look as good as exclusives
which i personally didnt believe since gtaiv

InTheKnow4798d ago (Edited 4798d ago )

.
Why even talk about Killzone 3. It's laughable how bad KZ 3 is up against Crysis 2 0n 360/PS3 ( yes PS3 ) let alone on a maximum setting PC.

The lighting and water effects are non existent on KZ 3. The ability to scale the environment and use the environment is non-existent in KZ 3. Everything in Crysis 2 is in REAL TIME!!! Does anybody read anymore. It's not a cardboard backdrop. It's not 30 gb's of cut scenes. KZ 3 is embarrassingly inadequate compared to a powerhouse like Crysis 2.

When Rage and Gears 3 releases in the fall it will get worse, not better for the comparisons. COD and Battlefield during the holidays will do more of the same.

eliasg4798d ago (Edited 4798d ago )

Sony fanboys always in a denial , accept the truth please, Killzone 3 and Crysis 2 are equal in terms of graphics and both have some up and downs...

Crysis 2 and Killzone 3 are the best looking games of the generation and do not forget that both are playable on a Playstation 3.

bnaked4798d ago (Edited 4798d ago )

I try to write in english:

Ok, the author knows something about Crysis 2 tech. But whats about Killzone 3?
"No game has so many light sources bla bla"
Even Killzone 2 had over !200! light sources in one area..
I don't know that much about all that technical stuff, but this author thinks, he is an expert, but has no idea about the tech behind Killzone 3.

He has no f*cking idea.

zgoldenlionz4798d ago

this was a well thought out well written article he doesnt come off bias and im going to give crisis 2 a try.

bageara4798d ago

I look forward to getting Crysis 2 and making my own mind up

HolyOrangeCows4798d ago (Edited 4798d ago )

"what I can tell you right now is Crysis 2 on Xbox360 is easily one of the best looking games of this generation"

This guy needs to be introduced to "THE TRUTH"

Crysis 2 is sub-HD on both consoles, has poor anti-aliasing (Thus "jaggies"), pop-ins like mad, and poor latency.

Killzone 3 is HD, has MLAA, fewer pop ins, and a much better latency (highly improved from Kz2 - Not that it matters in this silly comparison; Killzone 2 has a MUCH better latency than Crysis 2).

A few lighting effect perks don't make/save this game "one of the best looking games of this generation"

And side note, Crysis 2 isn't "open world" and Killzone 3 has plenty of large areas, even if they do go with a tighter level design most of the time.

Kleptic4798d ago (Edited 4798d ago )

Considering English is probably not the author's native language; a lot of the context could be misleading...

but the write up is simply full of things that are not facts, and merely subjective preference...

we could do this to the entire article...but:

"Even the aliens eyes cast dynamic lighting"

ANYONE that has played even killzone 2 back in early 2009 knows that killzone's lighting engine has done this through the entire generation so far...in Killzone 2 EVERY light source that you see is a true light source...both on and offline...this goes from muzzle flares, to lights on NPC's armor, to the goggles used by the helghast...Killzone 3 does this to an even higher degree, but also skews its effect to seem less 'samey' through out its overall lighting system...in killzone 3 muzzle flares from certain weapons are still real lights, but less aggressive than killzone 2, while heavier weapons are much more pronounced (creating almost a spot light effect) than anything in killzone 2...the light machine gun attached to a jump pack for example...

Aside from the fact that the author is using rendering terms that I am 100% positive he has no idea what they mean; he didn't provide one example in CE3's lighting model that killzone 2 doesn't also...or more importantly...already did 2 years ago...

nearly everyone understands that the 360 has never really had a game with extremely impressive state of the art lighting...that is not a criticism, as the 360's ability to run CE3 illustrates it has the power to do it...its just the PS3 has been doing ALL of this since 2009, which is probably a reason so many PS3 owners aren't completely blown away with 'oMG GuYSz, EverEEFing is a LIGHT!'...

I'm wondering also why this author decided to entirely leave out animation, physics, and particle effects from his decision making?...Instead filling this ridiculously short write up with excuses for Crysis 2...like 'you have to consider killzone 3 is much more linear than crysis 2'...and even dipping to the easy-out 'killzone 3's story isn't very good'...

he gets off topic way too fast and too many times for this to be considered anything but subjective filler for an army of people that can't make decisions like this on their own...play both...decide for yourself...Neither is going to be a clear winner to everyone...if you can't play both, thats your problem...just don't let it trick your brain into telling yourself what you want to hear...

just at the very least admit that this has very little true empirical evidence to go off of...

DaTruth4798d ago (Edited 4798d ago )

"Yea... Crysis 2 AA is bad... but you dont notice in dark places..."

"Yea... Crysis 2 AA is bad... but you dont notice unless you have eyes..."[FIXED]

I just want to know... Is the game broken on PS3 or not? But there is ten articles saying it's great and ten others saying it's broken! I had to read 100 crappy articles to still be unsure about this! I wanted this game for a year, but if it's broken on my console, I'll pass; too many good games to buy half-assed ports!

cemelc4798d ago

Omg thank god for vgarabia.com this well known website knows the truth, how could i be so blind. /s

@OneSneakyMofo: so true, there is an article that said: "Killzone 3, Rage? Bulletstorm looks more impressive visually"

Why would i believe this crappy site with an article like that???.

Move along or ask DF or LoT to do this comparation, to the very least they have a record of doing so.

Theonetheonly4798d ago

but where are kz3s reflections it looks like they made the game using only diffuse channel, most likely not but it kinda looks that way.

SonyPS3604798d ago (Edited 4798d ago )

@DatNJDom81

Are you mad that Crysis 2 looks better or something? You don't need a "viewpoint", all you need to do is look at the game yourself. Crysis is just as nice looking, if not better.

Oh yes and it's running on the 360 too, how does that tickle your fanboy feathers?

And who reviews an article anyway? Grow up.

HappyGaming4798d ago

Well if you build a multiplat on each platform individually from toes to the tips and put in some love it would look as good as an exclusive would look on that platform.

It just means you have to do a lot more work for each platform.

Spydiggity4797d ago

the effects in kz aren't impressive...

Agent VX4797d ago Show
ChrisW4797d ago

Uhh... correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Crysis 2 also for the PS3?

Ahhh... never mind! Since Crysis 2 is not an exclusive, it's obviously crap. Sheesh!

pixelsword4797d ago

I try to support indie sites like vgarabia, but when you spout garbage like that without considering all of the factors, you lose a lot of credibility, plus a lot of readership...

First of all, the site says bulletstorm is better looking than Killzone 3, so vgarabia lost all credibility there.

2nd, this site doesn't even have a review for Killzone 3, so right there it's doubtful that they even played it, since they have a bulletstorm review, it makes me think the owner of the site doesn't even have a PS3 to review a game on.

A game isn't rendering "more" if it's open world and you are in corridors all of the time. even before you play either clip on vgarabia.com you see how the clip shows Crysis 2 in a corridor-like area and Killzone 3 has an open-looking area. That's just a trick, because when you're in a corridor area like Crysis 2 has, you have less of a draw distance to consider. Just like when you play the game, a you see are buildings that are close by and smoke every block. Go to vgarabia.com and look around: Notice that ahead of you that there's smoke about a block away? Now go to around the :55 minute mark. Notice after you pass that pile of smoke, guess what? you see another pile of smoke a block away. That's all a rouse just to cut-down the draw distance. What this "writer" didn't notice is that there are areas in Killzone 3 that are linear, but there are also areas that are open, like the Mech stage. Plus, there are areas that are linear that have open areas with huge draw distances like the petresite (sp?) rig stage.

When a game is sub HD, it takes less processing power to render everything, so of course you can "render more", because you have freed-up resources to apply to polish, so while there's more "shiny things", it doesn't matter because again, it's just a trick.

InTheKnow4797d ago

.
Halo 3 had HDRR lighting in 2007. It's always been there but games like Bioshock 1 and Gears focused on other areas.

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

I think Cry 3 will definitely be picking up a lot of new customers for their engine after this.

Just look at the reflections in the water at around the 6:20 mark. Later, towards the end of the video you see some subterranean game play, look at the flame ( 10:50 ) and the lighting/shadows generated by that. KZ in it's current configuration would never be able to do that, let alone in REAL TIME.

tacosRcool4796d ago

I think Killzone 3 looks a lot better. Plus Crysis 2 is sub HD while at least Killzone 3 is 720p

Shaman4798d ago (Edited 4798d ago )

I have been playing it also on 360,tomorrow getting it on PC and honestly the game is visual spectacle.

From lighting and post processing,to water,fire and smoke effects it sight to be hold.
Now I know KZ3 is amazing looking game but when people open that door to NY,and the bloom from sun gets in their face while all beautiful buildings reflect sunshine on their windows its really something else.

Shadows are completely dynamic as is lighting.Bokeh effect is absolutely brilliant and shaders(metal and water especially are gorgeous).

People shouldn't fight between games because its on every system and it looks spectacular.Only minus is when game is REALLY open with lots of chaotic situations frame rate can suffer,but no screen tearing.PS3 version is triple buffered btw.

Oh yea and their AA method and AF are much,much improved over MP demo.I'm death serious.

KeiserSosay47884798d ago

Completely agree Shaman... I don't understand how, after seeing those gifs, one could deny that a multiplatform game looks just as good as an exclusive(kz3). It has nothing to do with the quality of the game (I love kz3 MP), but visually...this beats killzone. I also think this says alot about how pointless the console wars are.

AnxietyAttack4798d ago

Shaman those gifs are stunning good job!

Jazz41084798d ago

At onesnakeymofo if you discount every article you read and every comment you read basing it on if they are a 360 fan or not then you will get no news. Or does it onlywork that way if they support the 360 and the ps3 is fine. Just wanted you to see the bias in your statement.

Heres a comparison of the retail version in case anyone is interested. The 360 version has some weird glitches though.

MaxXAttaxX4798d ago (Edited 4798d ago )

The overall visuals (detail, lighting, contrast, etc) on PS3 look closer to the PC version than 360.

I don't like that harsh contrast on 360. Losing detail in dark areas and overly bright shine is not my thing.

Also this:

PS3 http://www.lensoftruth.com/...

sh@@t I'm surprise that the 360 could deliver this amazing visuals!!

back to the topic, I agree both games looks outstanding

RememberThe3574798d ago

It's always been an engine problem for the 360. Nothing on it has pushed visual limits. This is the first time the 360 has had an engine that really pushes it and it shines. The reason the PS3 has had the graphics crown is because of the great devs Sony has.

ThanatosDMC4798d ago

360 games really need to stop using Unreal Engine.

Spinal4798d ago

I agree I prefer Crysis 2 visuals, I've already returned my Killzone 3 for trade-in got £30 trade in gamestation. so its like I rented it for a couple weeks for £10.

ELite_Ghost4798d ago

theres one thing tho.
Where's the KZ3 screenshots?
Does he even have killzone 3?
Does he even own a ps3? XD

starchild4798d ago

Barely under that of Killzone 3. I can play emulated PS1 games on my rig at resolutions far higher than any PS3 exclusive, does that mean that those PS1 games have better graphics than Uncharted 2?

Face it, resolution is only one facet of game graphics. The difference in resolution between 1152 x 720 and 1280 x 720 is nothing compared to the resolutions I will be running Crysis 2 at. Having a slightly lower resolution is a non-issue if the overall game is significantly more advanced.

Robearboy4798d ago

I dont really care which looks better its all a matter of opinion but what it does show is that, much to the disapointment of fanboys, the xbox 360 wasnt maxed out in 2007

FinalSpartan4798d ago

Crysis 2 = Colour
Killzone 3 = Brown/Grey

Both are supreb in graphics in there own way.

BubbleSniper4798d ago

an halo = rainbow bright hybrid power rangers

HeavenlySnipes4798d ago

Its just that UNLIKE CRYSIS, KZ DOES NOT TAKE PLACE ON EARTH.

Stop trying to pretend that KZ is Guerilla Games portrayal of Earth. There goal isn't to recreate a game on Earth like Crysis and many other shooters.

If you read the KZ backstory, you'd know that Vekta is the planet that closely resembles Earth (so you'd see the lush greens and Earth like structures) and Helghan has also been a barren, treacherous wasteland. (The FUCKING GAME TAKES PLACE ON HELGHAN BTW)

The game still looks amazing

Blackdeath_6634798d ago

i would say killzone3 looks better however crysis 2 is much more attractive, crytek got it right i think you dont need top of the art grafics if you can draw ppls attention with nice landscapes

tastelessgamer4798d ago

We completed the game for both the 360 and PS3 in our office. We happen to agree with this assessment. If we had to pick a graphic winner, it would be Crysis.

Well spoken article

darkziosj4798d ago

crysis 2 looks awesome and its not a corridor shooter like killzone in terms of graphics that mean alot more resourced used for crysis 2 and still managed to get the job done

tmoss7264798d ago

Kind of why Gears 3 looks better then Gears 2. There's more color variety in Gears 3, which makes it more appealing to look at compared to the dark colors of Gears 2.

palaeomerus4798d ago

They used a color pallette with more saturated colors and more contrast to cause things to pop more.

Dogs_PinoyPOOD4798d ago

in gears 3 they put grass. n thats it pretty much oh n weapon colors lol but yeh its pretty good. in Crysis 2 theres every color. in Killzone 3 theres more color, blue, green, red, blah blah blah but theyre all different

showtimefolks4798d ago

or you can choose one right now and buy the other later

BOTH GAMES ARE BORDERLINE GREAT

this comparison on every 3rd party game to ps3 exclusive needs to stop that alone shows people how good ps3's exclusive look

i bought KZ3 great game soon i will get crysis 2

Dogs_PinoyPOOD4798d ago

my choice would be Killzone 3 first and then later on Crysis cus Killzone 3... Multiplayer.. cmon really? lol

Dogs_PinoyPOOD4798d ago

it's really on ur preferences. For me I like the color visuals in KIllzone 3. like the blues, the greens and reds. but Killzone 3 is suppose to be sci fi dats why its different from Crysis.

showtimefolks4798d ago

i been playing games for more than 20 years but never was a online fps gamer so kz2 got me involved so kz series will always have a special place in my heart

NewZealander4798d ago

yeah im playing kill zone 3 atm, and its looks great, but i still find some of the textures character models and effects a bit bland, overall its pretty impressive though.

from what ive seen of crysis 2 it looks like its going to be a bit sharper and shinier then kz3, im definitely going to pick it up.

thewhoopimen4798d ago

Regarding particles and lights. I believe Digital Foundry already laid to rest that KZ3's particle system is more refined than Crysis 2s. Let's give this discussion a rest.

hazardman4798d ago

I have to agree as well. Both games look amazing. I have to say tho, I thought that Gears looked Great already on the Xbox, but Crytek knocked this one out the Park. Definitely answers my ? that Xbox had already been pushed to its limits! It hasn't!! Goes to show what great developers can do with some time. Never played any of the Crisis games, but I'm buying this for sure! Killzone 3 is my favorite game right now. I also have that scene when your on the Battlemech on my FB. Games is frikkin amazing grapically BEASTING everything!! Glad i own both consoles!!

DontShoot-Me-Bro4798d ago

if you cant be bothered to read the article or dont want to give him hits.

he basically thinks crysis 2 looks better.

'While arguing in which game has better artistic design is debatable, I found the art style of Crysis 2 to be more appealing. Crysis 2 artistic design is more colorful, organic and varied than Killzone 3. When you about to get bored off the great looking foliage, water and buildings in Crysis 2, the game takes you to completely new type of environment.

To be fair, both games offer some of the best visuals of this generation. Each game look better than the other in various places. But for me, I found myself more amazed by Crysis 2 visuals due to the state of the art visuals, great art style, and varied environments. Also, the campaign mode in Crysis 2 is more fun, much longer, and more repayable than Killzone 3 story mode.'

Active Reload4798d ago

I don't even consider Crysis to be art or have style. It's tech reflecting photo-realism. There isn't any game anywhere that does this. The tech just out weighs art when it comes to Crysis. Gears and KZ have tech meshed with a style of art, while Crysis 2 is a sunny day after it rained...unbelievable.

ct034798d ago

Arguing that photo-realism cannot be art of have style doesn't make much sense. There is an art design and set decoration category at the Oscars, you know.

Granted, it usually goes to period pieces for obvious reasons.

Active Reload4798d ago

I didn't say if it could or couldn't be art. I said I don't consider Crysis as being art, but that's just my way of looking at the game. I should've said that it does have style and that style is photo-realism, it's reflecting real life. It's actually hard to describe really though, lol. I'm literally at a lost for words when I see this game.

TKCMuzzer4798d ago

In other words. Some people will find it more appealing as they can easily relate to it's surroundings.

palaeomerus4798d ago

Wow. I guess Edward Hopper will be angry to find out that his famous diner scene painting "Nighthawks" wasn't art and that the whole realist movement was really about technology.

We are yet to see the "Extreme Setting" on Crysis 2 and whilst Killzone 3 is a beautiful game, it can not compete with the Crysis franchise visually, and those who refuse to believe that statement obviously haven't played or seen the games on their highest settings.

Edit: Apologies, this comment was in regards to the flood of similar articles of which have been mindlessly approved over the past few weeks. On the topic of Console graphics, it depends on perspective people may disagree that Killzone 3 has better visuals due to the art style and colour palette Crysis 2 utilises.

Da One4798d ago

or their comparing the console version to killzone 3, you know something logical

Stewie2k84798d ago

There isnt an "extreme Setting" on console versions of Crysis 2, And Everyone knows Crysis looks better than Killzone 3 when its on the pc. i have yet to play the sp of crysis 2 on my PS3 yet so i cant judge till i get it.

nskrishna24798d ago

I'm actually surprised...

If Crysis 2 is sub HD on consoles, how can it match up to a HD game like Killzone 3?

Would you mind explaining because I'm confused about it..

This is because of its art style or something?

Corrwin4798d ago (Edited 4798d ago )

I'm always weary of things proclaiming "The Truth".

What truth? That Crysis 2 and Killzone 3 are not the same game? That they were made by different companies?

Or perhaps they were made by the same global syndicate! The Truth is out there!

True, pun intended lol.

VGArabia has never been a nonpartisan site to begin with, so for them (or anyone really) to proclaim that they and they alone are truth-holders, priveleged by the gods to bear the burden of carrying said truth and shining its truthy light on the unwashed masses of liars (us)...forget it man.

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

1Victor366d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar366d 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

badz149365d 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!

Vengeance1138366d 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 Kim366d ago

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

VersusDMC366d 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?

Vengeance1138366d ago

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

solideagle366d 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.

Phoenix76366d 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

thesoftware730366d ago (Edited 366d 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

talocaca366d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy366d ago (Edited 366d 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.

Killzone 3 is playable with mouse & keyboard on PC via RPCS3 & KAMI

Still looks secure 2 gens later... one of my favorite ps3 moments. With 3D and move the game is on another level

MadLad1117d 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.

Applejack1117d 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_B1117d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1117d 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.

Vegamyster1117d 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.

SinkingSage1117d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1117d ago (Edited 1117d 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.

Shhh don't say that aloud! You're going to trigger a lot of console infidels here.

Shane Kim1117d ago

I rather play it when it's available then wait 10 years.

MadLad1116d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1117d 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

RevXM1117d ago

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

Magatsuhi1117d ago

Been playing mgo on pc with mouse. It's not perfect but I can make it work.

Binarycode1117d ago

2 is the better game.

A Remake would be good. 60fps 2-4k

Omar3li1116d ago

60fps is peasant for FPS games now

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_vulgaris1294d 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.
