Killzone 2 vs. Gears of War 2: Who Wins the Graphics Crown?

Gears of War 2 has just been revealed and, needless to say, SDF is completely underwhelmed. Sometimes, a picture says a thousand words. We’ll let the screenshots speak for themselves. We’re curious to know what our readers think, so get posting!

    Gears 2 looks awesome. Not quite gawpzone 2 (seeing as gawping over graphics is the only real reason you’d get KZ2) but still a good step up, bit like Resistance 2, which is a far better game then gawpzone 2 could ever hope to be. Bring on the Locust!

    In other, more interesting news then graphical dick waving: Codemasters have aquired the Formula 1 license since Sony droped it after about 4-5 years. After playing the demo of upcoming GRID on 360, I trust Codemasters can deliever something both graphically pleasing and fun to play for all consoles, so you PS3 fanboys arn’t going to miss out.

  4. Gears 2 looks sub-par. Same engine we have become so use to it just lacks any sort of punch.

    While Killzone 2 brakes down the wall and shows all developers that an in house engine is better in every single way.

  5. Once again, the SDF drives home an excellently supported conclusion based solely upon the comparison of two very unappealing ladies trying to look sexy or diseased, I can’t decide. One things for sure, if that picture is any indication of KZ2, we’re bound to see Star Trek cameos in abundance in the form of Vulcans chicks with bad taste. Highly illogical if you ask me.

  6. Hate to double post, but has anybody other than me noticed that the logo the SDF has adopted is an asscrab?

  7. @Dalek

    The two chicks are one,
    The top pic shows her after an all nighter on the Ps3, you can see she looks refreshed, happy and totally fuckariffic.
    The bottom pic shows her after an all nighter on the 360, you can see she looks tired, pissed off and ready to kill some non-English speaking Micro$haft support guy.
    And what’s so bad about asscrabs?

    GoW2 will rape the shit outta KZ2 in terms of gameplay. Why are almost all PS3 games hyped about graphics and turn out to be shit?

    KZ2 is just like anouther FPS shooter with pretty graphics. GoW actually introduced some concepts that have been implemented seriously well, such as its fantastic cover system and sweet multiplayer.

    And guess what KZ2 offers?
    Cover.

    I’m sick and tired of this Sony DEFENSE Force bullshit, should be more like Sony OFFENSE Force.

    Oh and you can you bash the Wii for once? You haven’t done that in a loooooooong time.

  9. Roflcopter, take it easy man, no need to shoot fish in a barrel.

    And Paul, good to see your sense of humor still going strong. Dalek… Nice one… I know you’ve used it before, but jeez man, Doctor Who? wow… You’re a quick one. You probably had to spend an hour on Wikipedia before you got something that even made sense. Seriously, the name Dahak has so many more possibilities. You could twist that in more ways you could count, and you choose Dalek… I’m proud of your ability to mock so proficiently. You’ve cut me to the quick. But hey, here’s a concept. Show your truly creative side. Follow in Sony’s footsteps and make something truly horrific out of my name. Please. I wanna see what you come up with.

    Now that I’ve addressed Paul directly, allow me to point out that he has no problem with asscrabbery…

  10. Doctored screenshots vs. screengrabs from a lo-res trailer video.

    2009 vs. 2008 release

    SDF VICTORY.

  11. What? None of the games is out yet or have I missed the release of two of the biggest sequals?

  12. As much as I find Epic’s games to be “Meh…”, Guerilla has yet to make a game that was good enough to be “Meh…”.
    Also SDF, it seems as of late that you’ve only been able to rely on doctored or low-res screenies, as another poster pointed out. Oh, and guys, I heard a rumor that SDF is shutting down soon.
    Since on SDF, unfounded rumor = fact, it’s true.
    Also, I assraped all the staff members to death.

    @six1s

    agreed. killzone looks better despite the bland colors but gameplay is definitely gears. guerilla has still to make a decent game and it is weird as to why sony would dump so much money on this project instead of developing a known killer IP like GOW 3.

  14. spooky205 Says:
    May 10th, 2008 at 9:00 am

    @six1s

    oh and about you raping the SDF team to death, wouldn’t the asscrabs ruin your junk?

  15. I see SDF is still on its little run of passing off screenshots of games from the 360 from a video being run on a low resolution as though it were an actual screenshot. Its as paper thin as when they used the blur filter on the screenshot of GTA4 on the PS3 and tried to pass it off as a 360 screenshot.

    Furthermore, graphics? So what. If Gears of War 2 has superior gameplay to Killzone 2 then Gears of War 2 wins. Sorry graphics whores, yet again Gameplay > graphics. Sorry to you P(ixar)S3 fans.

    Finally, what the fuck is wrong with the chick they used to represent Sony? Is she a mannequin? She looks like she is made out of plastic or something. And her eyes are very very… wrong. Actually yeah, keep her. Creepy soulless plastic woman represents Sony rather well. All looks, nothing inside.

    ok well first off SDF where did u get the screens i want to know and the picture of the chainsaw battle u guys fucked with ok anyone can tell that ok KZ2 graphics thats all ive heard about the game ok it looks good but what about the gameplay ok your godly KZ1 sucked ass it looked nice but uhhh not much else. Now Gears of war 30 game of the year awards ok they almost scrapped the multiplayer they put about 25% into the multiplayer and 75% into the story which did kind of suck. they did introduce a great cover system and yes it is from killswitch but still it was great when they put it 2 use so its not a run and gun game like KZ2 and u know u ps3 fanboys would bust a nut if you could get gears of war

    I’m going to be objective here
    1. I have played both Killzone and Gear of War (nevermind the fact one is on older hardware and the other is on newer hardware).
    2. KZ1 managed to impress me on a graphical level for being a PS2 game. GoW impressed me on a gameplay level (yeah I know it looks a helluva lot better than anything running on the PS2 but that’s not the point).
    3. Both had a kinda short campaign.
    4. Both had a different playing perspective
    5. Both had a different style of play.

    Killzone was after you got down to the nitty gritty was just another FPS that claimed to be the “Halo killer” and it failed (in both being a halo killer and being fun).
    GoW is just another 3rd person shooter with a cover system that we have seen before (Rainbow 6 series), but it managed to be fun even though it had problems (espescially the big dickheads that will kick you for saying “hows it going” that play online). Also it never tried to be a “halo killer” and that was a good thing as well.

    The main problem with Killzone is for the fact that guerilla games haven’t made a truely excellent game yet where EPIC Games have made good to great games and they have proven themselves to gamers where the earlier hasen’t.

    I hope KZ2 will be different and the problems of the first game have been fixed but there’s no way to know untill the game is released if it will be any good. I guess only time well tell.

  19. I’m sure they made the fat dude in Gears move so slow because it made the levels seem bigger. How fat and slow is he gonna be this time?
    Killzone dude would hit fat Gears dude so fast, that fat Gears dude would think he was surrounded.
    Also, my dad’s harder than yours, and my plastic box > yours.

    @erik- Dude… that P(ixar)S3 thing is lame, you’re trying too hard. Makes “Delayedstation” actually sound good.

    Now “X-Box Please-Fix-Me” is classic.

    I caught the last 20 seconds or so of the trailer last nite for Gears, and it looked pretty awesome. So no hating coming from me. I do prefer games with good stories though.

    You guys have no idea how much I dislike Cliffy B, or whatever the hell his name is.

  21. @stickmeup

    I wasn’t going for trying to impress anyone. But lately SDF has been pushing the graphics whoring more than usual. Its ridiculous.

  22. Cliffy B is the second most overrated person is gaming right after Jade Raymond, slipping in ahead of Peter Molyneux in the attentionwhoring douche derby.
    But that doesn’t stop Epic from releasing good games.

    I have a robotic penis extension, like Bionic commando’s arm…but for my penis!

    xbotkiller,
    So what you’re saying is that you agree that 360′s gameplay is better then PS3′s graphics. Glad you’re finally coming to your sense.

    Wow edited pics of Killzone 2 vs blurred and distorted pics from GoW2?

    The graphics on Gears look better anyways,

    Hey look whats the most enemies youve ever seen on the screen at any one time in Killzone 2? is it 7? maybe 8?

    GoW2 have demonstrated that they can put over 100 enemies on the screen.

    The new Gow2 physics engine rocks, the water, the destructible environments and the meat physics!

    Does Killzone 2 have meat physics? or physics as realistic as GoW2?

    @Paul its all muscle baby, not fat :D challenge the Cole Train to an arm wrestling match

  29. @NextgenMexican’t

    All the best arm wrestlers are fatties, they are also too slow for the battlefield. I think they should give fatty a scooter or something this time round. Either that or introduce some salad physics too.

    Wow gears of war looks terrible, epic are just phoning it in these days. As long as they can sell their middle ware they are happy.

    I hope they’ll have some homoerotic undertones for xbox fans.

    Killzone 2 of course looks incredible. Unique art direction and graphically in a league of it’s own.

    Go Sony!

    PS I hope gear of war 1.2 doesn’t cause the same amount of RROD as the first game.

  33. KILL ALL XBOTS,
    Seriously, just stop trying.
    You’re not even fooling yourself.
    Got proof that Gears caused RROD?
    No? Then shut the fuck up!
    Gee, I hope Killzone 2 does better then 1 did!
    LOL! That won’t be hard now will it?
    I could poop in a CD case, and it would sell better then Killzone.

  34. Stickemup Says:
    May 11th, 2008 at 9:38 am

    Echochrome looks better than Gears of War 2.

  35. But my dog could poop in a CD case and it would PLAY better than Gears.

  36. @Stickemup

    Are you going by real screenshots of Gears of War 2 or SDF’s biased bullshit screenshots? Let us not forget the pixel blur filter over the PS3 version of GTA4 and passing it off as a 360 screenshot.

    But you know the “woman” in the picture they used to represent Killzone 2 is actually quite representative of SDF. A REALLY bad photoshop job.

  37. I see alot of “It’s gonna pwn Gears 2!”, but didn’t Resistance fail to “pwn” Gears 1?
    And Killzone did more poorly then Resistance, a game that failed to crush Gears!
    How is a game that did only so-so in sales and reviews, going to pwn a game that has rave reviews and fantastic sales?

  38. Oh, and how much FAIL is that comparisson chart made of? Using a pretty picture of Spears is like saying “Well it’s crap, but in a prettier wrapper!”

  39. Isn’t it Jessica Simpson in the pics? And wasn’t Resistance 329 × better than Gears?
    I know I’m right about the latter.

    @stickemup

    “Echochrome looks better than Gears of War 2.”

    Now thats comparing apples to oranges. If you’re going to compare those two then Gears looks far better than echochrome by more than a mile. A more fair comparison would be between Echochrome and N+. Both have a minimalistic look to them but both (i would assume) echochrome and N+ are fun games. If doing a comparison between two games at least put them in the same league of games and not a blanket comparison.

  41. Sorry Paul, but no.
    According to Gamerankings Gears is better.

  42. Stickemup Says:
    May 11th, 2008 at 8:15 pm

    @erik – Dude, first you were lost about who “the girl” in the pic was, then you call her “Spears”…

    You need to stop playing your Wii and get out a bit…

    @ColdYellow – Oh come on, you know me better than that. I was of course being sarcastic. Gears looks good.

    No offense to the 360 owners who actually have brains, but Gears is such a good representation of the type of people who own 360s. They don’t care much about stories, and are fine with playing the role of a meat head, as long as it’s a bloody online shooter.

    I’ll take Metal Gear over Gears of War anyday.

  43. @Stickemup

    You need to read again. Just where did I call the girl “Spears”? I have no idea who plastic woman is. Though I was unaware that mannequins had names anyways.

  44. Doom looks terrible by today’s standards, but it’s still an absolute blast to play. Great gameplay means more than great graphics.

  45. Now now, kids. I know I haven’t shown my face since revealing the horrible if not slightly amusing fact that Paul has no aversion to asscrabbing. (Which he never made a response to. Damn… there’s a rare sight… Paul speechless.) But joking aside, let’s be honest. It doesn’t matter which side you’re on, hyping a game you haven’t played puts you in the same group as all the Halo fanboys who were ready to throw themselves in front of a bus to get it early. You don’t know what it’s like yet, you haven’t played it. If we’re going purely by the facts presented thus far, and nothing else, there’s still not enough data to go by.

    In short, look forward to your respective game, tell people about it, and keep an eye on development news, but fer the luvva freck, don’t beat people over the head with it. I’ve seen Heaven’s Gate enthusiasts, and southern baptist evangelists with less fervor than some of you.

  46. ColdYellow Says:
    May 12th, 2008 at 4:00 am

    @Stickemup

    I agree with that gears is good representative for a good portion of 360 owners. Then again Killzone2 (not that I haven’t played the game) is a good representative of the PS3: Good to look at but horrible in bed. The Wii is just the average girl thats up for anything but at least she has substance.

  47. Stick loves his old man ass, crotch-grabbin’ cutscene fests.

  48. So.. arguing about two games that havn’t release yet?

  49. We’ll argue about whatever we want Nark, Gears of Bore 2 is gonna be shite!

  50. @Paul

    I’m curious to why you think Killzone 2 will be good when you consider that Killzone 1 got such mediocre reviews.

  51. Hey look what I found:

    http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/48/Gearsofwar2_duel.jpg

    Could it possibly be one of the screenshots for Gears of War 2 before SDF put their subpar photoshop skills to it? Why yes, yes it is!

  52. @Keri

    Looks like someone’s put their even subberpar photoshop skills to that pic. If that’s as good as it gets for xboxers, then I totally understand why Jello prefers his SNES.

  53. Its okay Paul. To be faced with the fact that their precious SDF is full of crap. You are in what is known as the denial stage, this means you have already gotten through the shock stage.

    This means all you have to get through is anger, bargaining, depression, testing, then finally glorious acceptance. Its rough, but we will be here for you.

    Furthermore, the biased comments against Gears any every other game ie: any A > B example are very much showing examples of simple favoritism of games you haven’t even played yet? Lair? Army of Two? Both were overhyped, even after the game came out by simple word of mouth, and they turned out to be fairly average games. Quite honestly, the only thing favoritism shows is a inferiority complex, or simple douchery,on both sides of the 360/PS3 fanbases, and could show just how insecure people are about their system of choice. play what you want, SDF’s opinion, or anyone elses, matters litte so long as you like the game you’re playing.

    But you don’t yet have Ps3. You know the old saying, once you go Ps3, you never go…..back.

  58. “You know the old saying, once you go Ps3, you never go…..back.”

    No matter how much you want to. But unfortunately you blew all of your money on the most overpriced system on the market, leaving you unable to buy any of the better systems.

  59. @Keri

    All you talk about is the price, are you a student?
    If you did have a Ps3, and STILL wanted something better, and STILL had cash…Then you’d first need to purchase a time machine, I can’t imagine anything better than Ps3 coming along for at least 20 years.
    Ofcourse Jello will still be rocking the SNES, so he’s OK.

    One of my friends that does have a PS3 actually plays his NES more. The funny thing is he didn’t even pay for his PS3 and still just owns 1 game (heavenly sword).
    Hell yes I will still be rocking the SNES 20 years from now.

  61. One game! And you call him a friend? The Ps3 has 2 or 3 games now, shit maybe even more!
    On the SNES thing, have you seen the ‘irate gamer’ reviews on youtube? If not, you should.

  62. Hey Paul, what’s Gears of Bore? Does Epic know that someone is making a game with a very simular title to theirs?

  63. Simular gameplay too by the sound of it. But hey, at least the graphics seem almost OK…ish.

  64. ColdYellow Says:
    May 12th, 2008 at 7:22 pm

    @Paul

    The “Irate Gamer” is a hack ass motherfucker. He ripped off the Angry Videogame Nerd almost to a “t”. The AVGN was putting up videos for a year or close to year before the Irate Gamer (hell he even went so far as copying the same games and rants as the AVGN).

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMg6_IXCjo4
    This is one of the Angry Videogame Nerd videos (actually he used to be the Angry Nintendo Nerd but nintendo didn’t like that at all).

  65. Despite not being a big fan of Gears of War, I found the gameplay a bit boring though I find most cover system games kind of boring unless it’s a tactical game like Rainbow Six Vega and Vegas 2 which did pretty good on the cover system, letting you throw grenades, and other throwable objects around corners over objects, and just drop behind the wall you’re hiding behind rather than throw. Gears of War is just one of those hyped up games I couldn’t care if it even existed or not, similar to Halo series and Metal Gear Solid, I couldn’t care less if either of them existed or not, in fact most likely would be a better world if they didn’t. lol

    To be honest why do they have motion blur on these games anyways? I turn them off on PC games, they feel less realistic to me, and also make me feel sick, if not get a headache after playing with all the blurred objects, my eyes try to focus to see a clear image, but can’t. lol

  66. Motion blurr makes me kinda sick, so I also turn it off. It looks mroe realistic with it on though, I mean turn your head really fast, what happens? Blurr.

  67. @Paul, He deep in the second stage of grief

    “All you talk about is the price, are you a student?
    If you did have a Ps3, and STILL wanted something better, and STILL had cash…Then you’d first need to purchase a time machine, I can’t imagine anything better than Ps3 coming along for at least 20 years.”

    A student? No. But rather a person with responsibilities and cannot justify the PS3′s ridiculous price tag.

    As far as a time machine, no. Why use a time machine when a car can get me to Gamestop to buy a 360?

  68. Yeah, the price of an entry level 360 isn’t too much more expensive then Nintendo’s system, may just buy one to compliment my Wii!

  69. For the record, i own (this and last gen), gamecube, PSP, Wii, PS3.

    Gears of War sold 5.16 million copies world wide, Killzone sold less than 1 million.

    source: http://vgchartz.com/worldtotals.php

    From the start of, i think Killzone looks graphically superior (not from SDF, trailers and screenshots etc) Ones from the Playstation Day which arent touched up aswell. i am not going to compare gameplay because neither have been released. However, from vg charts, Killzone was released on a PS2 when there was over a 50million install base. Gear Of War when there was less than 15million. Surely from the sales when 1/3 360 owners bought Gears of War, surely this tells you which WAS the better game.

    Gears of War > Killzone (overall) fact?
    Killzone 2 > Gears of War 2 (graphically) opinion

    Surely you can’t answer which is better before seeing the ATTACHMENT RATE? (don’t use sales, use attachment rate as it is more accurate).

    The screenshot unshopped still looks rubbish though :P .

  71. Badly compressed pics do that.

  72. @OldJello

    Thanks for that, it seems the Irate Gamer really has ripped off the AVGN, right down to giving the console the finger when he’s pissed, still funny though. But personally I could never give my console the finger as I have too much respect for it, you’ll understand when you have an amazing Ps3 of your own.
    Watching all these NES and SNES vids reminds me of the old days when I was an xboxer, I think you’re right to say the SNES is more fun than 360, but the graphics and sound are about on par.

  73. Who is this Old Jello guy he keeps refering to?

  74. Oh, I get it! Paul can’t find real facts, hard evidences, or good research to back up his fanboy-ness! So he just calls the other posters names, to appear clever and witty!
    That SO works!
    No..wait…no it doesn’t.
    Paul this is your Nyoro~n.

  75. Six1s, you just made my day.

    Incidentally, Paul still hasn’t responded to my comments, or yours, for that matter, Six1s. Maybe he’s having trouble coming up with names for us. In fact, I may go as far as saying that both of us attacked his weak point for massive damage.

  76. @ColdYellow – So the 360 is the ugly girl? I guess so. The 360 looks really tacky, especially with the HD-DVD add-on, and the faceplates. And the noise…how can you guys stand it?

    Plus you can teach a girl to be good in bed, I’m almost there…just a month away, and she will rock my bed like it’s never been rocked (MGS4).

    Plus she’s here for the long run, remember how that old girlfriend of yours…what was her name? X-Box? Left you really fast. My PS2 is still pumping out games, and the jump off for her was really similiar to the PS3s. I’m just glad she is future proof, and isn’t going to do a 720 and leave me in 2 years.

    Ok, enough of that.

    The Wii is a whore who doesn’t care who uses her.

    @Coldyellow – The second and third paragraphcs aren’t directed to you, you know you’re one of the few 360 owners I like.

  77. The new MGS4 trailers are awesome. There is no way in hell you can say say anything negative about them… Okay there is, but you all would be lying out of your ass.

    Franchises like Metal Gear Solid make it worth the wait.

    Gameplay, Graphics and Story. How sweet it feels.

  78. “ColdYellow – So the 360 is the ugly girl? I guess so. The 360 looks really tacky, especially with the HD-DVD add-on, and the faceplates. And the noise…how can you guys stand it?”

    The same way you can stand your George Foreman Movie Player, because you like the games. Seriously, the cd tray noise? How whiny can some people get?

    “Plus she’s here for the long run, remember how that old girlfriend of yours…what was her name? X-Box? Left you really fast. My PS2 is still pumping out games, and the jump off for her was really similiar to the PS3s. I’m just glad she is future proof, and isn’t going to do a 720 and leave me in 2 years.”

    Of course Sony hasn’t phased out the PS2, its a great system. And they need something to keep them afloat while the PS3 is floundering. Its only good business sense.

    “The new MGS4 trailers are awesome. There is no way in hell you can say say anything negative about them… Okay there is, but you all would be lying out of your ass.”

    How about the fact that most of the trailers seem to be nothing but CG fests?

  79. @Keri

    From now on I’m gonna call you Miss.Quote-a-lot.
    Btw, I think you miss-quoted Stickemup about the noise, he’s referring to 360 NOISE in general, not the cd tray. Complaining about the 360′s noisy cd tray would be like complaining about a squeaky seat at a Slayer gig.

  80. @Paul

    The slight whirring from the cd tray is the only, albeit little, noise that comes from the 360. Unless your talking about the sound that comes from the speakers on the tv. But don’t let that scare you little one, its like that from design.

  81. @Miss.Quote-a-lot

    Oh I see, you’re talking about the noise from the disc drive, my bad. I suppose the disc drive is fairly quiet compared to the HDD and the fans.

  82. Yes, the noise from the disc drive, which is the only real discernible sound that comes from the 360. That is unless you rest your head on the system like a pillow when you play.

  83. CG? have you even played MGO?

  84. @Keri

    Well it would be nice and warm, but I think the 360 needs a few yards in every direction for adequate ventilation.

  85. I’m worried what you are afraid of Paul. You and the rest of SDF seem to need to come up with outright lies, such as the obviously photoshoped screenshots. about the 360 to even compete with the 360. Can’t the PS3 stand up to honest competition?

    The 360 is actually the blond supermodel (you know being white and all) with a case of bulimia that you don’t know about.
    The PS3 is a brunette supermodel with anorexia.

    when have I lied to you, or anyone else for that matter?
    I’m so honest an unbiased that you would barely notice I’m a Ps3er, who thinks the 360 is a noisy unreliable piece of junk.

    @erik

    I have to KINDA agree with Paul; the 360 is noisy and unreliable (THE OLDER MODELS NOT SO MUCH THE NEWER ONES). I wouldn’t go far as to call it “junk” though; when I think of junk I think of the Virtual Boy.
    Then again every thing “new” is a pile of shit anyways. Gone are the days of making something that can stand the test of time (not just talking consoles but everything in general) and when the only thing matters is the bottom line and not customer satifaction.
    In all honesty does anyone think that Nintendo, Sony or Microsoft give two shits and a fuck about you when you take that recently purchased console home? No they don’t and they’re happy since you increased there profit(s). Why do you think these companies only want you to buy there own brand of controllers and etc?

  93. No shit there! I had an Atari system that was over 30 years old! It finally died. But DAMN, those were built like tanks!

  94. Stuff doesn’t last long these days and I’ve had more than my fair share of early quitters: CD/DVD players, Amps, TVs, but I was not ready for the 360 experience. My first lasted 4 months, it took 6 weeks to receive a refurb which was even louder until it died after 2 months.

  95. Going back to SDF claiming that the PS3 version of GTA4 was “vastly superior” I say:

    http://play.tm/wire/click/1869648

    Bullshit. But don’t let these obvious failures on your part SDF discourage you. Rather your failures are sweet nectar to me.

  96. EscapeTheFate Says:
    May 13th, 2008 at 7:37 pm

    I think stuff lasts long enough, if you treat it right. I had one 360 that RROD’ed after the guitar hero II update (which massacred many others) and my younger brothers also RROD’ed from the same thing, nowadays, we avoid putting guitar hero 2 in, and our systems have been fine (I hope I didn’t just jinx myself.) futhermore, it sits between two computer monitors, so you can guess how much heat it generates, especially since there is a bunk sitting right above it. Also, while I will admit the 360 is loud, it’s hardly anything after you have it for 2 moths or so; you usually will zone it out in the middle of a game. The only things that break in my house are shitty sansa products and old CD players.
    So I’m pretty sure you can also tell I am a hardcore 360 owner, I’m by no means hateful towards the PS3 and I don’t see why anyone should be hateful to any other system. I’m watching MGS and MGO right now, its slowly enticing me, but just as well, the new Gears coming out is just as much. I was skeptical at first, and still am, about the PS3, but I will not deny the awesomeness coming out in the next half year for it, and if I put the money together, may get it.

    P.S. I don’t really know why I typed all this.

    CG? Oh I’m sorry, I forgot you’re used to last-gen graphics. Those aren’t CG, those are in-game. That’s the kind of thing that can be done on the PS3.

    MGS4 is awesome. I played the demo back at E For All, and it was a true next-gen experience. Which both systems have been lacking. I’m so happy I have a PS3.

    But don’t let it get to you. Just go back to swinging your nunchuck and playing Mario in 10 different forms. Brawling! Racing! Soccer! Party!

  99. “You’re full of s*it. I can hear your 360 as I’m typing. You know it’s loud, and that is a fact.”

    A: As long as my tv’s volume is not set to mute I can’t hear my 360, and that is a fact.

    B: “Lol teh noize!” is really the weakest agrument in PS3 fanboy’s arsenal.

    “CG? Oh I’m sorry, I forgot you’re used to last-gen graphics. Those aren’t CG, those are in-game. That’s the kind of thing that can be done on the PS3.”

    And the 360. As has been shown time and time again the graphical differences between the PS3 and a 360 is negligible. As I own a 360, yes I know what current gen graphics look like.

    “Look at that, and tell me you’re not jealous.”

    Gladly. I’m not jealous.

  100. Same goes for any game. Just look at those Gears 2 pics floating around, there is no proof that it’s not a CG cut scene. But then again Gears has the advantage in that they didn’t pass off CG as Game play footage the last time around, so I’m more apt to believe them.
    Ubisoft wants me to believe them that Red Steel 2 is gonna look as good as they say it will, I’ll need hard evidence, as the first game didn’t look as good as those “Screen shots” they released. The game still played fine, but the looks weren’t as good as promised!

  101. Oh, hey who wants to read one of my Kreskin-esque predictions?
    I predict, that if/when Mass Effect 2, is announced Multi-platform…and if such an announcement comes, it will be soon…that every PS3 fanboy who hated on the original, will suddenly wanna make buttsecks with the sequel.

    so according to one of your earlier comments the wii is a whore the ps2 is like a mexican chick just cant stop pumpin out the youngins the 360 is the average girl who your like maybe if she makes the move and the ps3 is the chick who looks like a 10 but screws like a 1

  103. You can’t take anyone who says that seriously. They obviously haven’t seen the footage of the E3 2007 demo or the 2008 Playstation Day demo. The game is using a deferred rendering engine which specifically allows them to have hundreds of light sources throughout a level. The shadow maps are crisp, not dithered; they’re soft and diverse depending on context; not static and completely dark under all conditions. They allow for light rays to shine through volumetric smoke beautifully, as well as cast one of the best looking lens flare effects I’ve ever seen in a game. KZ2 boasts of the most impressive lighting and shadows of any game I’ve ever seen.

    I will concede that Gears of War 2 uses more memory specifically for textures than Killzone 2. Gears is a master at one trade. Killzone 2 is a master at many. The use of textures in Killzone 2 is done well, it’s not done in order to say “here’s superfluous detail we couldn’t create with geometry and looks totally out of place”. Look at everything in Gears. Everything is covered in unneccessary lines and patterns. Killzone 2 looks and moves like CG. I liken it to a “natural beauty”. Gears, in comparison, is the bimbo bitch with gigantic fake tits, fake tan, and dyed blonde hair. Some people like that look, but it comes off as being far too pretentious and gaudy. It tries too hard, and neglects many other important aspects in the process.

  104. Hey Hans, would Gear of War 2′s gaudiness have anything to do with your photoshopping of said screenshots perhaps? You know your bullshit is paper thin right?

  105. Bullshit Hans,
    I WORK with CG on a daily basis, I know what does what! Rendering Engine != Lighting system. Rendering engines handle how the final shading, AA, and other POST EFFECTS are handled, NOT lightingm lighting is handled by the 3d engine itself. They are two different things. Get a clue! You fail so hard you Sony asshole licker.

  106. I’m not sure if I’m the only one here who doesn’t know how these games are made, or if I’m simply the only one who’ll admit. I’ve done some research though, and I’ve found that Killzone 2 uses something called a Ps3, while Gears of Bore 2 uses something called a 360. Common sense should tell you that Killzone 2>Gears of Bore 2, hope I didn’t get too technical for anyone.

  107. That isn’t common sense Paul, thats called fanboyism. I see you are still in the grief stage of denial. Come on, move on to anger already. After that you have just a few more stages to go an you are in the clear! You can do eet!

    The first minute of that MGS4 trailer the graphics were horrible!

    It got better eventually but serious? it looked last gen untill like the 4th minute. Then it turned into a game that looked worth playing,

    Don’t flame MGS4 i’ve no doubt it will be a good game, maybe not “the first next-gen game” thats being heaped on it, thats over the top, but a promising game all the same

    I’ve still got fond memories of playing MGS1 on PS1

    And a question to all. Ive beaten some of the best and hardest games on the hardest difficulty, but I still can’t get past Level 2 on Pacman, anyone experiencing the same problem?

    Guess they dont make games like they used to :)

  109. @erik – It’s funny how 360 kids think that the 360 is as powerful as the mighty PS3. The only reason you have seen multi-platform games look the same, or better on the 360 is because they used the 360 as the lead platform, so when you try to port it to a machine that works completely different from the 360, you end up with 360 quality graphics.

    But that is changing my friend, as more and more developers are now using the PS3 as the lead platform.

    Your 360 can’t do what my PS3 can do.

    In it’s first year it pumped out Uncharted, Ratchet & Clank and Heavenly Sword, which look freakin’ amazing. I remember reading how many reviewers questioned wether or not Uncharted or those other games could be made on the 360.

    And now we have GTP and MGS4, which freakin’ look amazing as well.

    Let’s not forget your machine is 16 months older, and our exclusive games already look better.

    You will start to notice the difference between our two machines when God of War 3, FF13 and Killzone 2 come out.

    @Hans – You put it beautifully my friend.

    @Randomfrag – I didn’t say that, other people did. The 360 is your mom in a thong. The Wii is your lil’ brother who will play with anyone. The PS3 is your hot 18 year old sister.

    And your dad loves to play Metal Gear Solid on the PS3.

    Just kiddin’.

  110. Keri! You’re really starting to make me angry!!!!
    Only kidding, I’m still in the grief stage and I ain’t going anywhere…except maybe to the superior version of Liberty City a little later.

  111. @Stickemup

    If the PS3 games are so graphically superior then why does SDF reel it necessary to hinder the screenshots of the 360 through bad photoshop? Thats because they know the horrid truth that the PS3, for all its price, isn’t all that superior to the 360.

    And I’m still waiting to be impressed by that video of MGS4 you posted. But I can hardly hear the gunfire through my yawns.

    @Paul

    Superior how?

    http://play.tm/wire/click/1869648

  112. This debate really is heating up; all we need is a paying audience and we could make millions!

    May I just say that both games look rather fantastic, and that there is no need to try and crucify the “other” side just because they happen to own a differing piece of hardware?

    I’d play both. Please don’t stone me for apostasy.

  113. EscapeTheFate Says:
    May 14th, 2008 at 1:30 pm

    Oh seriously stop with the GTA superiority/inferiority complex, old news everyone, the game is out, we’re all playing it. Secondly, as a counterpoint of Hans stating that Killzone is a master at many, while Gears suceeds in one area, I must point out that I saw little actual player battles in the Killzone 2 videos, even the one before Playstation day seemed tempered and underwhelming in fights. Killzone has amazing lighting and environments, but it is in no way a master…yet. One of the most important things in a game is the player actually rising to the challenge and fighting his way through the game, and at least so far as they’ve shown, it fails in that respect, the game seems to play itself. Gears has a certain balance within the game that I like, it forces you to play through the game through tactics, the battles require brains, patience, and tactics, and while I won’t say that Killzone 2 won’t have these attributes, it certainly needs to work on these things, at least to garner up to the ‘master at many’ status. Furthermore, I can vehemently argue the fact that the details in Gears are superfluous, I believe that they are only seen as such because we fail to realize in real life how much detail there is in everything. Is a rock having several jagged edges in real life superfluous? No, because everything has detail. People just aren’t used to seeing it in a videogame, and we therefore pay more attention to it.

    So tell me how Killzone 2 plays instead of how great it looks. Thats what we ALWAYS here but never how it plays (going back to the Jim Sterling blog post).
    If I had to choose between KZ2 or GoW2; it would be GoW2. The reasoning for that answer is simple really: Gears of War was a helluva lot more fun than Killzone. So simple reasoning was behind that answer.
    BTW KZ2 looks like its got potential (just like the first one) and I hope it is a damn fine game in the end.

  116. Killzone 2 plays great.

    The main part of any FPS is the gunplay, and that’s what KZ2 excels at. The guns control, animate, and give feedback perfectly. The shooting is very rewarding in Killzone 2.

    I’d rather play Uncharted than Gears of War, as Gears of War is far too slow in terms of the movement of the characters, and the close quarters combat is a joke.

    @erik – Once again, you’re full of sh*t. You and your stench know it.

    Don’t you have anything else to do than attack the PS3? I come here to read the hilarious comments, but whenever I read yours, I don’t read anything funny.

    It really comes out like you have a sick fetish for hating on the PS3. At least the people who defend the PS3 here, are doing it on a PLAYSTATION site. You actually cross enemy lines and take your time to come here and preach about your 360, like if you’re really gonna change anyones mind.

    We love our PS3 franchises. I don’t think you understand that. Most people don’t buy a PS3 because of BluRay, HD or the graphics. It’s the franchises. You can run your mouth all you want about how you can’t wait to play Gears 2. It means nothing to us.

    We have PS3s because we love GOD of War, Gran Turismo, Socom, Metal Gear, Final Fantasy, Ratchet & Clank, Resistance, etc.

    And we simply can’t play any of those franchises we love on your box.

    The same goes for everyone who comes here with ill intentions. Get the joke already.

  120. I also thought the worst thing about Gears of Bore was the slow moving fatness which is Fenix. The only time he moved fast was when you accidentally tap ‘A’ and he slides ass first across the screen to somewhere you don’t wanna be…useless fat bastard !

  121. I started looking at this site, at first honestly trying to find some information on the PS3 games and such, but what I find more, is squabbling about the 360. I know this is a “personal” blog, but if you really want to defend Sony, can’t you just talk about the PS3′s skills as mature adults?

    I’m a lucky lil guy here, because I have access to all the three major consoles here (due to roommates) so I like reading up on everything. I’ve noticed each system has strengths and weaknesses. And what gets me excited about PS3, is the Japanese titles. Some that I may not be able to play on my 360.

    Graphically, the PS3 has the potential to blow the 360 out of the water, due to it’s power. Has it reached it yet? No. Games look so similar. The graphics difference is nearly nil. The main thing I’ll give the PS3 is it’s control pad. It does run better than 360′s. But most don’t even use it anymore.

    All you guys crying PS3 as the winner, please don’t just bash. Provide evidence. You want people on your side right? Show them unbiased evidence. Want to compare graphics? Don’t doctor the 360′s graphics. It only shows you have a lack of faith in your system, when you feel the need to “cheat”

    I’ve seen a lot of games, for both systems, and honestly, the game that impressed me the most graphically, was Bioshock. The opening footage, was just so impressive, with the beautiful water, and the complete effects were great in my opinion. The Killzone footage does look impressive, but doesn’t “wow” me like Bioshock did. But they ARE nice, don’t get me wrong. They look beautiful, though I fear, like most, that these are really CG. I don’t know honestly, I haven’t played it. I’m only a regular Joe.

    I’m getting off point, but I think both sides here, should be civil on this. Each time you replace a systems name with some “clever” retort, or replace S with a $ you’re weakening your argument. Just be civil, believe me, your argument will be that much stronger.

    Obviously I didn’t read any further but if bin boy is right, and 360 has only sold 6 million more than Ps3, that is a quite remarkable failure. Given that it had a 16 month headstart with no competition, and now it’s being sold at the throw-away price that it always warranted.

    @xbox360FTW – What Paul said. I don’t think you realize that, that is nothing to brag about.

    I don’t know if you know this, but North America is the only region that has outsold the PS3. Not even with the huge price cut can it outsell the PS3 in Europe.

    And let’s not even talk about Japan. It’s gonna be outsold about 20:1 with the release of MGS4, if not more. It already outsells it 12:1 on a weekly basis.

    6 million units is nothing my friend. I don’t think you realize that number is only going down. Which means, it hasn’t been outselling the PS3 world wide for a while now.

    You know what’s worse? All this…and we still have yet to see a Metal Gear Solid, God of War, Socom or Final Fantasy on the system. You know what that means? Bad news.

    If it hasn’t managed to outsell the PS3 remarkably up until now, believe me, it’s not going to when those games come out.

    And that’s not even taking into consideration Little Big Planet, Resistance, Killzone 2, Home, The Agency, The Getaway, Wardevil etc.

    I’m just glad the numbers can’t be disputed. It’s a fact, the PS3 is gaining on the 360 wether you like it or not. EVEN with it’s higher price tag.

    Good day.

    Where did I “run my mouth about how much I can’t wait to play Gears of War 2″? I have no interest in Gears of War 2 as I had no interest in the original.

    But, don’t try to change the subject. If the PS3 is so damn superior then why does SDF feel the need to hobble 360 screenshots just for the PS3 to compete?

    But I feel I should note I don’t actually have a problem with Sony itself. I own a PS2(actually I’ve owned like 4 of them. Much less reliable than a 360 they are) and still regularly buy games for it. In fact during the run of the PS1 and PS2, the sony systems are the only systems I owned. I never bought an original Xbox, nor a Gamecube. The PS1/PS2 were the only systems I needed at the time. So don’t confuse my malice towards the PS3 as bias against Sony itself. Rather, I hope that Sony manages to wedge its head out of its ass in time for the PS4 so I can go home to the system I enjoy. But that ain’t gonna happen with the P$3.

    If my good friend Keri was here, she would tell you that you’re in the anger stage of denial. I’d hate to see how angry you are when you realise it’s time to upgrade to Ps3. But don’t worry, when you fire it up for the first time and the anger, the noise, and the reliability worries disappear, you’ll wish you had wised up sooner.

    @stickemup, Paul, xbox360FTW

    What your guys are talking about is just a dead end conversation. Its always the same arguement and fucking topics that get thrown around every damn time and neither side “wins” the arguement. Theres things that the PS3 does better than the 360 and vice versa so I don’t see why the constant bitching at each other which one is “better”.
    The Wii is outselling both the PS3 and 360.
    Both the 360 and PS3 are impressive pieces of hardware (the cpu’s and etc).
    Finally the PS3 and 360 are great gamming machines when you boil it all down.

    The first minute of that MGS4 trailer the graphics were horrible!

    It got better eventually but serious? it looked last gen untill like the 4th minute. Then it turned into a game that looked worth playing,

    Don’t flame MGS4 i’ve no doubt it will be a good game, maybe not “the first next-gen game” thats being heaped on it, thats over the top, but a promising game all the same

    I’ve still got fond memories of playing MGS1 on PS1

    And a question to all. Ive beaten some of the best and hardest games on the hardest difficulty, but I still can’t get past Level 2 on Pacman, anyone experiencing the same problem?

    Guess they dont make games like they used to

  136. @OldJello

    But arguing is fun, and it makes us sound cool. I know you’re unbiased and take your gaming very seriously but I hate to see you missing out on the big fight, You really should pick a side because the argument will soon be over, as more people realise that the Ps3 is vastly superior.

    @Paul

    I choose the Sontendosoft Gaming Extravaganza Big Bang In Your Mom Pants Fun Times (or GEBBIYMPFT for short). That console will make all three current gen and the next-gen consoles look like retarded step children.

    But if I had to choose a gaming console I would rather have a high end PC though.

  138. @Stickemup

    Where did I “run my mouth about how much I can’t wait to play Gears of War 2″? I have no interest in Gears of War 2 as I had no interest in the original.

    But, don’t try to change the subject. If the PS3 is so damn superior then why does SDF feel the need to hobble 360 screenshots just for the PS3 to compete?

    But I feel I should note I don’t actually have a problem with Sony itself. I own a PS2(actually I’ve owned like 4 of them. Much less reliable than a 360 they are) and still regularly buy games for it. In fact during the run of the PS1 and PS2, the sony systems are the only systems I owned. I never bought an original Xbox, nor a Gamecube. The PS1/PS2 were the only systems I needed at the time. So don’t confuse my malice towards the PS3 as bias against Sony itself. Rather, I hope that Sony manages to wedge its head out of its ass in time for the PS4 so I can go home to the system I enjoy. But that ain’t gonna happen with the P$3.

  139. @Paul, still in denial

    “But don’t worry, when you fire it up for the first time and the anger, the noise, and the reliability worries disappear, you’ll wish you had wised up sooner.”

    Along with your bank account. But once you do fire it up you will ask yourself “how did I ever watch movies in standard definition?”

    PS3, king of movies.

  140. @OldJello

    Does the GEBBIYMPFT have blu-ray? does it have teh CELL? does it have a little Ps3 sign that twiddles round so you can stand it vertical and it still reads right? If not, then get that shit outta here.
    Ps3>>>>GEBBIYMPFT

    @Keri

    Again with the price? Damn you’re poor!

  141. Paul, the ring of light on the 360 rotates depending on whether the system is standing up or laying down. And I do realize that I’m basically begging you to be like ZOMG RROD by saying that.

    And Hans, I don’t know if maybe you have some weird eye condition, but most people don’t see lens flares directly on their eyes. So having “one of the best looking lens flare effects I’ve ever seen in a game” is actually pretty unrealistic.

  142. @DenialBoy

    “Again with the price? Damn you’re poor!”

    Poor? Its not that. No system should ever have a release price of $600, ever, at all, no exceptions.

    Its not that I’m poor. Rather you, as most P$3 fans , have more money than brains.

    @Paul

    The GEBBIYMPFT has a 500gig hard drive, a disc drive that can read all forms of media including crap that hasen’t been invented yet, the processor is called the HIVE which is 100000000000x more powerful than the CELL and it has more system RAM then anything before it. To put it simply it makes the 360, Wii, and PS3 look like toys.

  144. @Keri

    I just don’t understand your complaint about the Ps3 price, mine cost £300 (the same amount as I spent on the ill-fated 360). Also, it finally justified the £2000 I spent on a HDTV. The Ps3 is not overpriced at all

    @OldJello

    I concede defeat, the GEBBIYMPFT pwns! But saying it makes the Wii and 360 looks like toys is nothing to brag about, I have an 80′s calculator wrist watch that does that.

  145. @smOke

    ZOMG RROD!!!!!!!

  146. Does suck that the PS3 is in a shortage, it’s selling pretty good resently despite it, which I guess shows Sony wasn’t all that ready for a big sales jump, they finally fell behind in supply, of all kinds, gamestop and Walmart the only two stores in my town that sell PS3s are out of stock which suprised me today when I went to the story to see if they had a Wii on shelf, since I got my PS3 the Wii was next on my list, but sadly darn Wiis are always out of stock here. 360 had 2 arcades, 4 normals and 1 elite on shelf still at Walmart alone.

  147. woops i clicked on the wrong comment button. ignore my coment above please. lol

    Huh. I don’t see why everyone is getting so angry about a video game. From what it looks like, Killzone 2 looks amazing, but I’ve seen videos of it in action, and it looks exactly like CoD4 minus the intensity. Graphics don’t make a game. Gears of War was pretty fun, and I’m fine if they keep the core gameplay the same and just add stuff on. I’m looking forward to playing it, especially the new story. I’m willing to bet that if tomorrow Epic announced that Gears of War 2 would be for both the 360 and the PS3, the fanboys in here would jump all over it, touting how the PS3 would somehow make it much better than the 360 version.
    Oh well. This is a pretty fun site. I just have one question though.
    How come in EVERY article, they claim to be “fair and unbiased,” yet their name is Sony Defense Force? That makes sense if it is a troll site, and if it is, its an incredibly well put together one. But if its real, and the authors are sincere, do they have some sort of mental deficiency?

    LOL you people must seriously be getting desperate. I don’t think these fuckwits are considering the gameplay elements that makes Killzone 2 a “perfect” game. There are so many games out there with great graphics but horrible gameplay and it results in a FLOP! They don’t even have a fucking release date for Killzone 2 yet. As far as I know, SDF is only taking their “information” from the trailers and screenshots.

  150. now i saw killzone 2 being played on Playr and….. it looked like shit

    the A.I sucked, it was boring, the guns didn’t seem to do much damage, or look good and the whole thing looked boring and slow.

    i never thought Killzone 2 was gonna be any good but the playthrough i saw confirmed it. Its gonna suck

    u cant even compare these games, gears 2 looks like an elephant took a shit on the screen while playing it and killzone 2 look photorealistic
