I think people here might mistaken KZ2 have average texture because by art style, the characters don't have ultra high res texture like Gears or Uncharted. they don't pop out enough in a way.
that said, take a look at the guns, it goes beyond a simple texture. whatever shader they used for the guns, it's the best guns I've seen in console game. I can't seem to find it, but there's this gif someone made with the rocket launcher and the metal in that rocket launcher is really really good.

No, quite the opposite. KZ2 doesn't really seem to rely on noise maps at all.Fersis said:So is K2 using 'relatively' low res textures and enhanced them with detail mapping ?
It would make sense i think, K2 strength is the crazy ammount of post processing effects.

At this point, I think it is safe to say that anyone trying to unfavourably compare this game to anything else (other than Crysis) currently out there on whatever console, has probably never seen this game in motion, or heard it with a good sound system, or had any hands on time with it. This game is golden.
The look of the Helghast are awesome. It is arguable that they have the most realized distinctive and iconic look of any nemesis in an fps. In fact I think this game, from concept to execution is the most realized game I have ever had the good fortune to play through. Most of the time things in games may look good, but they just look like nice elements within a static play field and though they each look good, they don't necessarily look good together. But this game has the most cohesive visuals I have ever seen.

Just wondering, is there any excuse for KZ2 not making it to IGN's list of Best E3 gfx this year?

Am I the only one that noticed? The most minor quibble ever but I was wondering if I was the only one to see it.

All this stuff is fine and dandy but how is the gameplay? Going by the demo's they always show it look great but is on rails like COD4.Someone said they played the first few levels and it was amazing though so i'm optomistic but getting too hyped just sets you up for failure. It happens to often in gaming nowadays. I want a game to exceed my expectations which is rare to say the least.
Man, I can't believe people are actually comparing this to Crysis. Hell, Crysis isn't even largely representative of how good games onthe PC look, forget consoles. Just the fact that it's even happening is downright hilarious.
And oh man, WrikaWrek and others.... You don't understand just how good this game looks until it's playing on a TV in front of you. When the eventual K2 demo hits, you'll see what I'm talking about

Still haven't seen it first hand, but these gifs and shots are very
I've always leaned toward Resistance among the PS FPS games*, but the visuals alone have sold me on this - if there's a good game behind it, then that'd be pretty fantastic.
* With that said, R2 is waiting until Xmas..

It plays better than any FPS on a console. In terms of weight of movement and a real feeling of immersion. I haven't played enough to say anything major about the design of the scripting and levels.Tom Penny said:
Bare in mind, I haven't played the console version of L4D, I hear the most amazingly positive buzz about how good that game feels.

So isn't an embargo on media reports about the beta supposed to lift today?
You're right, Crysis doesn't represent the PC at all simply because it is THE single best looking game on the PC right now. NOTHING else comes even remotely close. Most PC games simply don't take advantage of the platform like Crysis does. It's the most technically advanced game on the market.
I really have to wonder what other PC games you are thinking of if. There isn't anything more impressive than Crysis out there.
Dunno if this is old or not

Honestly, there is nothing on Crysis' level out there on the PC in my opinion. I didn't want to say that because I just dislike absolute statements of that nature, but it's basically true. Even among PC exclusive games, it has pretty much no equivalent looks wise. You might have some competitors in terms of requirements, but overall it has no equivalent.
It gives me a headache when I see K2 compared to Crysis, but at the same time that really speaks volumes about how insanely fucking talented GG/Sony's internal development is.
Actually in one of the videos posted a few pages back you could see the debris disappear.

Smart, minimizing the amount of RAM needed while still allowing you to enjoy the "fruits" of your hard work
.Finally got the shotgun last night and it made a big difference in the number of kills I was getting and the fun I was having. My K/D ratio stayed about the same because you have to be up close to be effective with it but holy crap is it fun. That thing is an absolute MONSTER at close range! The sound and the recoil are monstrous too, hehe. Huge power in that little street sweeper!

How the hell did Kitton get a key?

I read somewhere in this page or last about an embargo at 4PST, what's that about?

OK, I think I just misunderstood your original post. To me, your post suggested that you believed Crysis to represent only a tiny portion of the PC platform and you were implying that there were a number of other more impressive PC games available.EschatonDX said:

I think the point was that even Crysis, which is insane techwise, is something very unique from the PC. There is this strange misconception that everything on PC looks similar, at least a lot better than anything on PS360. Where as very little looks even close KZ2 on PC, let alone Crysis.
Left4Dead for example, graphically it's below par for PS360.
