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

yet gta IV’s budget was $100m… so going by those figures, gta IV is 10 times better than gears2?

budget does not make a game better or worse, of course it helps though

That’s because COD4 was designed for multi-platforms

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.

Look at the lighting and shadows in Killzone 2 – they are miles ahead of CoD4. CoD4 is impressive, but there were many shortcuts taken to get it running at 60FPS.

It has some really fugly textures for a next gen game, for example, and runs at a sub-HD resolution, compared to Killzone 2, which runs at true 720P.

Killzone 2 needs to be played to be appreciated – the screens and videos don’t convey just how much stuff is happening at any given moment in the game.

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.

my 2 cents, so killzone 2 looks better, but the question i’m interested in is it better gameplay, i loved gears 1 & 2 purely for the fun factor, and i do have a ps3 too, and yes i will be playing killzone 2, but if it isn’t as fun, then gears will be back on my xbox. :biggrin:
