I’m sorry, but personally, I can’t see how you can
compare the two. Gears have never strived for realism.
It’s not just two completely different TYPES of games,
it’s two completely different STYLES.
Although Killzone 2 looks amazing, I still stand by my
point that there’s not much I haven’t seen yet in COD4.
(being a pc gamer,I think using Crysis as an example is a bit unfair)

its not “nay saying” they just tell you the facts

Agreed. Cant compare you diffrent engines to each other just seems unfair.

graphically gears2 is the bench mark for xbox games as kz2 is for the ps3…

they are obvious choices when doing comparisons of the respective consoles’ flagship games.

Dude, while ya at it can you grab me one too.

Oh and personally, art direction is far more important than polygon count. To this day, Kameo remains one of the most visually impressive games I have ever played, just for the sheer impressive design.

Agreed, and Kameo was just ‘upscaled’ from the originally planned xbox 1 release.

Gears uses a Mutliplatform UT engine. KZ was coded specifically for the PS3 and the PS3 only.

It does look pretty damn amazing, but like somebody all ready mentioned, Nothing that COD4 did not all ready wow us with.(and that was 2007….)

Kudos where it is due, KZ2 looks better to me than the original ’4d’ game show of 2005, but then again, it is now 2009 and hell, most games look better than I had ever hoped.

and when might that be coming out -_-

Lighting, animation and effects in Killzone 2 are far superior to Gears 2, but Gears 2 still has nicer textures. If only Sony had doubled up on the memory or offered a more flexible memoery architecture, the PS3 wouldn’t have these low-res texture issues.

An important consideration that is being overlooked is respective budgets for the 2 games. GOW 2 was put together for about 10 mio (mainly because Epic owns the Unreal engine) , KZ2 by all accounts cost about USD 60 mio to make before marketing and distribution. Sony’s 1P releases are designed from the outset as “system selling” technical showcases – 3rd Party devs are in it to make money. If Epic or Infinity Ward spent 4 years and $60 M to make a game I’m sure it would be very shiny.

LOL Luigi, look at the floor in the comparrison in the first image and tell me again how the PS3 has rubbish textures :silly:

Either Rockstar has the most overpaid programmers and developers in the world or a very skelm accountant because I seriously don’t know where all that money went

killzone2 has better graphics and the gameplay is way funner
