Killzone 2 Only Possible On PS3 Say Guerrilla News
Could the SCEE first party developers be digging their own grave of Killzone 2 over-hype???
By Gwynne DixonPosted: 04/09/2007
According to the latest issue of Official PlayStation Magazine, Guerrilla big-wigs are openly suggesting that the Xbox 360 couldn't handle a game like Killzone 2. Well, they would, wouldn't they?
Guerrilla's Managing Director Herman Hulst stated of being able to develop exclusively for the PlayStation 3: "It's a huge benefit. If you're developing a game on multiple platforms there are restrictions you always have to take into consideration.
"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."
On the same issue of developing Killzone 2 on multiple platforms, Killzone 2 Producer Steven Ter Heide made the following comments: "I would say [It's] impossible. We literally can't do this stuff on any machine other than the PS3."
Ter Heide went on to point out the advantages of Blu-ray on the PS3: "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."
In fairness to Guerrilla, other third party developers such as Epic have indirectly criticised the limitations of the Xbox 360's DVD format before but, when all's said and done, would you expect Guerrilla to say anything different? Guerrilla's comments are comparable to Bungie stating that no system other than the Xbox 360 could run Halo 3, a claim that's a little salacious at best.

Just to prove my point even more, every multi-platform game looks better on the PC.
The PC version of GTA 4's low graphics are equal to the console versions medium. That is a FACT. Google it.
Why did people doubt Crysis will be coming to consoles? Why is the console verison of Crysis going to look inferior to the PC version?
Most console fanboys think a video card can make graphics look better, which is stupid. A good video card allows a game to run more smoothly with better graphics. Damn console fanboys.

This goes to the retard who says PCs arent real gaming consoles and cant handle Killzone 2.
You have no clue kid. Either youre joking or you just wrote a long paragraph proving how stupid you are. Consoles are just stripped down versions of PCs. Theyre all "computers" that allow people to play "computer games".
You have no idea what PCs can do, at least not what my PC can do. I dont know about your 5 year old family Dell computer.
I hate seeing little 13 year old console fanboys like you. It makes me want to smash some consoles. You can [#@!?] all you want about the Cell, RSX, RROD and other bs, but the second you say consoles are better than PCs then you are an automatic retard.

This goes to the retard that says ps3 is not more powerful than 360 first 360 is not 1080p second the fact that yours junk pc has more mb of ram means nothing cause the cell does not need alot of ram to output good graphics and last go and ask the top developers and you will find the truth of 360 hardware issues now you need to get a life comparing consoles to a pc get this a pc is not a video game console and before i forget a pc can't handle K2 with (quads) bet on it as for xbox same all there is that they can't get over the facts that ps3 is starting to shine and 360 fanboys use the pc theory cause you can port to xbox to cover them selfs cause their fanboys nice try but no ps3 is way more powerful than xbox stop listening to carmack,cause right now everything he said is biting him in the rear

The PS3 is not any more powerful than the 360, the architecture is just different, its swings and roundabouts, 6 and 2 3's.
Y'all need to get a life. Buy a PC if you want to gloat about who has the most powerful machine.
Killzone 2 didnt come out for the PS3 because the 360 cant run it, its because the developers were licensed to make the game PS3 only, as Halo is for Xbox.
360/PS3 = same generation graphics. 1080p HD gaming :) Nice effects. They both have 512Mb of memory. [#@!?] you, my PC is not that modern and it has 5 times that! And I run games like Crysis at 1920x1200 which is heigher than any of the consoles will go. And the game is very pretty with mediocre gameplay. I dont feel the need to go on forums and get all upset because someone didnt say I was havng the absolute best experience possible, just a good one.
Get a life. Just play the game, you'll be bred with it in a couple of months, and need another [#@!?]ty game to get all upset about.

"those graphics can be done on 360" well i suppose its possible only youll only have 1 map to play on plus itll have serious frame rate issues. seriously the 360 is far to inferior to the ps3 thats why m$ reduced the price "not cause they can cause there worried" the wii has never had a price drop it costs more than the 360 but has sold over 50 million world wide compared to the 360's lame 30 million especially as its been out nearly 3 and a half years the ps3 has barely been out 2 years and has sold almost as many consoles as the 360 when it costs over twice what a 360 does.
as i own a 360 ill be getting ready to trade my white box with its rrod for a ps3 so that accounts for the second hand 360's in there millions out there in game, gamestation, cex ect.
oh and gears 2 is nothing special left 4 dead has better graphics and is more fun.

Read my review on Killzone 2 at gamehistoryx.info KZ2 was a good game but those graphics can be done on the Xbox 360. Killzone 2 was definitely not better than Gears Of Wars 2. I own all next gen consoles. Fanboys should not be posting bull[#@!?] comments unless they have experienced every next gen console and games.

This thing is crap.Killzone 2 I think, is one of the best FPS.And the only thing that i like about halo series is maybe halo wars, since i like strategic games.As for the other halo games, i pretty much used melee on everyone except bosses.Seriously,i can melee 5 ppl when theres about 10 of them shooting at me?It is also due to the fact that the AI enemies try to melee you if you try to melee them,but they are so incompetent that you actually feel sorry for them.I wished Master Chief died.
