Guerrilla: Killzone 2 impossible on Xbox 360
As if this wasn’t readily apparent from the travesty that is the big budget Halo 3, Guerilla have weighed in on how underpowered and underfeatured XBox 360:
To make it simple, the Xbox 360 doesn’t have SixAxis or Blu-ray. PlayStation 3 does. And for us that’s a really big thing. The level you’ve just seen is 2GB. We really need Blu-ray to make the game. I don’t know how you could fit it on Xbox 360 without taking some shortcuts.”
And there’s more
“We are taking huge advantage of the architecture of PS3. I firmly believe that what we’ve shown we can get out of that machine would be difficult, if not impossible, to deliver on a competing machine.”
of course they said that, they are trying to pimp their game, you know, create a lot of hype, saying it is so techically impressive that it cant be done anywhare else is a way to do that.
also, we all saw what sixaxis does to games, lair anyone?
Okay…sure the level looks amazing…the 360 has that too its called Gears of War but from what I hear the AI in killzone sucks! Apperently the AI is so dumb they have been seen to take cover on the opposite side of the cover!!!
Also as Fatman said…sixaxis kills games no one wants a fast paces FPS where you have to twirl your bloody controller to move around.
I might have actually cared what this guy had to say, but then I realised that Guerrila Games has ZERO experience with non-Sony consoles(besides a half-assed port of Shellshock Nam 67 on Xbox).
The only real thing he mentions that makes it impossible on other systems is the storage advantage from BluRay. He says that one level was 2gb, but considering some of the games already available on a single 360 DVD, that must be uncompressed data.
On a positive note, this is definitely the closest thing to actual news I’ve ever seen on this site.
And yet that 2 gig level ain’t even half the size of any one level in Halo 3.
And the sixaxis being raised as a positive proves he knows DICK about FPS games. As though Killzone 1 didn’t prove that ALREADY.
BTW, which part of the ps3 hardware is responsible for those blurry ass textures. Everything in KZ2 looks blurry and lowrez, even in HD.

you have played both halo 3 and kz2 wow. you must be more uber l337 than gabe himself.
the reason why everything looks blury is because theres a little thing called motion blur, now do it for me. sit back on your chair and spin arround and tell me that your world doesnt blur or do you see nothing but X6 AA?

And to call Halo 3, a game which you haven’t played a ‘travesty’ just proves you know sweet FA about gaming.
Your not a gamer, your a nerd with nothing better to do. Do us all a favour, Leave Games journalism to the experts.
“As if this wasn’t readily apparent from the travesty that is the big budget Halo 3, Guerilla have weighed in on how underpowered and underfeatured XBox 360″
Yeah I heard Halo 3 was crap.
Now who can tell me whats wrong with the above two statements?
Thats right, EVERYTHING! Well done again SDF, you’ve managed to pull a stupid statement out of thin air with no thought.
Your medal is in the post.
I watched the developer talk about how they built that level. It’s ALL geometry. It’s all 3D. Why the hell would you build a FPS game this way?! I’m not going to waste my time walking down every alleyway to go, “wow, look at all this modeling they did”. No wonder this game has been in development for so long! This game is a tech demo for the PS3. Yes, you can build an entire game out of 3d solid model geometry, but then you end up like the ps3, with no games, and maybe one game every 6 months to a year between any game release. And then, you end up with games like LAIR, which even though it’s been created for years and years, still sucks. (4.9 ign review).
Take Shadow of the Colossus for instance. That game was perfect, with some graphical tricks (motion blur used extensively, 2d textures reused quite a bit) to be able to render it on the old ps2. Still, the game was Beautiful and amazing to play. Would rebuilding it on the PS3 with full 3d, HD res “each hair rendered individually” make it a better game? No.
Polygons=/=Fun Guerilla. When you realize that, you’ll finally put out a game worth playing.
Same goes for you Sony, quit talking about “storage space” and “HD” as an excuse for why your games AREN’T GOOD this generation.
killzone 2 has plain graphics, bad AI, bad physics, okay death animations, and really bad storyline
ps3 phails
What I love is that you guys are all yelling at this web site over what they wrote. It’s a joke! Can’t you see that? In the rare chance it isn’t a joke (and I’m sure it is), it’s so off the wall that no one will take it seriously. Look at the articles! This is like “The Onion” for video games. I love it!
I dont get why theres so much hype over Kill Zone 2 anyway… The first one sucked (Average reviews of 7.5), so I guess if you make a shiny CG trailer sequel to a sucky game you will get PS3 owners to buy it. And what a surprise that Guerilla games (a subsidiary of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe)would be talking smack about “competitors”. Yeah, I’m pretty sure you couldnt get Kill Zone 2 on the Wii either. Even if Kill Zone 2 looks great (still not as good as Gears of War or Mass Effect), Sony is banking their console on a gaming developer with a history of bad games…. Not a smart move. Remember, just because it looks great, doesnt mean it will play great,
Well Everyboddy expect Killzone to be the next Halo but is not going to happen because us Ps3 owners like RPG’s better them First Person Shooters Wen you think 360 you think (FPS’s)wen you think PS3 you think (RPG’S) and Yea almost all those companys are just getting there 1st games out for the PS3 so the xiaxais dont work good, but if you see the wii how much better the comtroler got since first games, (Metroid 3) is really good so give it next generation before we get some good games with good xiaxais motion (Folklore)Anybody
Ok? and why does this matter its a sony made game anyway
PS3UP, are you actually COMPLIMENTING the Wii’s accuracy? Well, good for you. I never thought someone who writes comments like you would do that; I guess you’re not as screwed up as the people who run this site. Anyways, yes, the controller is accurate, but the Wii proved that from day one with Wii Sports; they just didn’t apply that to an FPS until Metroid Prime 3.
Now, listen closely: SIXAXIS sucks AND…it always WILL. Also, it will always be a mark that Sony carries of copying idea (d-pad) after idea (analog stick) after idea (rumble) from Nintendo.
wow, deja vu
does anyone else remember something like this with heavenly sword AND Lair
i guess developers really need to use the ps3′s potential to produce average games
Funny how Gears looks a million times better than this game
damn and xbox 360 has rumble another reason why killzone 2 just can’t be ported.
oh wow SIXAXIS motion and referring once again to blu ray. someday you are going to have to use more than just blu ray or sixaxis motion (which has nothing to do with puting on the 360, controller motion big fucking deal once that wireless feature fucks up then what, no more killzone 2 too bad for you fuckers isnt it). also look closely at the character’s face texture, pretty flat.
and no PS3UP when i think of 360 i think of OBLIVION you dumbfuck, PS3 wasnt even going to get TESIVO until bethesda decided to have mercy on the ps3.
Either way Halo 3 will outsell this game 100 to 1 or something on this line, and besides the publisher behind Killzone is Sony!! Why the hell would they say that it’s possible to do this game on the 360?
