Look at 360's exclusives..while i somewhat agree that Gears1 and Gears2 are 360's babies but not TECHNICALLY built ground up for that hardware..it was really built for PC hardware but since the 360 is closer to PC hardware then PS3 is.. .Gears1 and Gears 2 really excelled with 360 hardware to the point it could pass as in-house engine built for 360 hardware. So i would say Killzone2 is more closer to PS3's hardware then Gears1/2 is to 360 hardware... I remember CLEAR AS DAY when the Unreal Engine3 first came out how the 360 had some issues with it at first... there were some issues with UE3 at first when running on 360 hardware...so by no means is UE3 built from ground up for 360 hardware
I honestly feel the 360 overall has a very slight advantage with graphics..only because all of its hardware is in harmony with one another while the PS3 .. lets be honest now, that RSX was never in the plans from the start..it was more/less a last minute change and it shows because its damn hard to produce game as stunning as KZ2 is on PS3 hardware.. look how much money and time was poured into that title for a game that does not blow away Gears2 graphically or Crysis... to me its better looking then both Gears2 and Crysis but not by alot..who ever says by alot is VERY OFF in that judgment here.
I know the 360 is capable of Killzone2 graphics if the time and money is spent on it and of course..the raw talent of the developers making teh game.. people seem to overlook that the developers are also a HUGE factor in how good a game comes out looking..its just not about the engine, the hardware..its also the developers creating the game that makes all the diffrence too! I mean.. look at the new james bond game...it uses the same engine as COD4... which game looks better? COD4 easily looks better....PROOF of what im saying.
Lets not forget the graphics chips in these systems.. the 360's gpu is a whole generation ahead of PS3's RSX... so lets not get it twisted now you PS3 fanboys. Both consoles has its strengths and weaknesses...overall the two systems are close enough in overall power that makes it a wash when you start to factor in ease of use, tools,etc on top of the hardware...all the rest is up to the kind of talent developers have with the hardware.
As i said before... when we talk "in-house" studios... Sony has a better group of in house developers then what Microsoft has that seem to be able to make better use out any sort of hardware tossed in front of them.... just imagine what these guys would be able to do if Sony's PS3 had 360's hardware inside it...i think we would be seeing just as many graphically impressive games using 360's hardware in a PS3... its really about that raw talent behind these engines, hardware,etc..the hardware itself overall when comparing the pro's and con's of both sets of consoles are all a wash after its all said and done.. it really is with the 360 having that slight edge with a bit better hardware.
I mean we already heard from developers over and over saying this already..that the 360 overall is a bit more better overall but the differences arent that huge.. less so then last gen..and thats really the damn truth of it all. So before any fanboys go crazy over how nice KZ2 looks.. yeah i even said it looks freaking aswesome and to me is the best looking game to date including anything out there on PC's for the moment...it does NOT MEAN all of a sudden the PS3 is just oh so much more powerful then 360... Sony put in tons of time and money and got fortunate that Guerrilla Games were the guys behind the game...there for thats why this game looks so damn good.. because some very very talented developers were behind the game.
Incredible that people actually believe that a few more months of development than GOW took and allot of money is actually the reason why Killzone 2 look so good,never mind that Uncharted was not in development as long as Killzone 2 is and still just plain out did anything on 360,is hard to believe that the xbox 360 with time and money will get Killzone 2 level of graphics,the xbox 360 is a walk in the park to develop for compare to the PS3,is suppose to be stronger by some people words yet it hasn't trow a game with Killzone 2 level of graphics yet,even that the console has 1 full year ahead of the PS3 on the market.
GOW2 release took place just in time for the xbox 360 3rd birthday,the PS3 will be 2 years and what 2 months when Killzone 2 lands?and you people still believe that Killzone has ages on the making,some of you actually forget that the PS3 just turn 2,what time are you talking about? on 2005 Killzone 2 was a CG nothing more nothing less,GOW started on 2004 and launc on 2006 the sequel on 2008 pretty much 2 years,killzone 2 will have little more than that when all is say an done.
Hell is funny that money is even bring here as excuse,when talking about the xbox 360,you know when MS has like bought almost all the exclusive they have get,they trow tons of money every where,what you think epic made the game for 360 because they like MS? They got pay and big time even more for the sequel i am sure.
Now that last part is just silly propaganda man,yeah the xbox moved 300 million polygons and they achieve 3 times the in game performance of the PS2.
The fact that a hardware is unified in nothing means that is 1 generation ahead,that look like is pull right from Ati PR books,in fact if Ati had something that actually leap frog a Nvidia 7800 by summer 2005 they would had it on stores and not on a console.
That is just propaganda quite easy to spot,once again i don't know where the advantage is coming,until the xbox 360 shows something killzone 2 like or better in my books the PS3 is stronger,i don't know if it is Cell or not,the advantage is there and the difference between Killzone 2 and GOW2 is quite visible,and while it doesn't quite blow it,it does look quite allot better from lighting to animation is just out do GOW2 by a considerable margin.and Killzone should not even been compare to Crysis the fact that people do is and honor to the PS3,since the PS3 doesn't get a new CPU and GPU every 4 months like PC's do.
In fact few are the developer who had actually go on record saying the xbox 360 is stronger,and i think in fact that more had say it about the PS3.
