A lot has been said about the recent TV Ad for Killzone 2, which gives gamers another chance to see its graphical prowess. Another interesting debate has been brewing on whether or not the Xbox 360 could handle the graphical specifications of Sony’s exclusive shooter.
In a detailed article over at HipHopgamershow, they talk about the facts about the two consoles and the possibilities on whether the Xbox 360 could compete with this ‘true power’ of the Playstation 3 which has seemed to have been kept under lock and key untill Killzone’s emergence onto the scene.
A quote from Sony’s Vice President of Product Marketing states, “We had an idea for a fresh way to promote the game. It was to bring the incredible detail in Killzone 2 to life by showcasing the game’s technology – only made possible by the power of the PS3.”
Is that comment above a sign of good things to come from now on in terms of visual capabilities on the Sony PS3? How will Microsoft respond to this little dig about their console. Give us your thoughts on this below.

well everybody knows that the ps3 is a more powerful console
“only made possible by the power of the PS3″ sounds more like marketing lingo than a fact. I’m not saying that PS3 isn’t more powerful because it definitely is, but Killzone 2 can easily dumb itself down enough to be playable on the xbox.
Anything can be dumb to run on the Xbox. Look at some of the multi-platform games that are going to suffer because of this. The first that come to mind is FinalFantasy. It’s been delayed and I am sure it will be hindered. There is another game that they had to redesign the game because of the DVD Size Limit and M$ charging the developers for going over 2 DVD.
People from Guerilla Games stated that KZ2 is 25GB. So that right there means that the XBox CAN NOT handle the games unless it goes multi DVD or the resolution of the images is reduces dramatically.
your idiots its been proved on so many occasions that ps3 lacks quality in certain things and so does the xbox…
There has been no proof which is a better platform, going on with your ill judged opinions is stupid. O PS3 is sooo great because of blu ray blahblah, well check out ur 2x speed blu ray player… its not all that great, ive seen crap 4x speed let along 2x. Next you go on orrr RROD well my ps3 has broke more than my xbox has..
played killzone anyway on my hd tv, certainly good graphics but the gameplay sucks… ragdoll sucks and plus player seems like he’s 4ft tall, boring story, obviously 25gb of waste. loved the first killzone, hate how games focus on graphics these days you end up with midly enjoyable cinematics and crap gameplay
you’re a dousche
seriously James get a grip a software company designed a 16 layer bluray disc that you can store up to 500gb of data on the ps3 is built to last xbox will have to build a new console to catch up in a few years and then every xbox owner me being one will have spent more on both than on a ps3.
@fanboy and a half
First I can see that you are having a hard time with the fact that ps3 blue player is wayyyy superior to dvd reading,storing,audio,resolutions,etc. The fact that is on ps3 is a cherry on the pie so the ticket for the front seat of the console king sony has it and is starting to show or pay off however you want it as for your ps3 braking more than your xbox only in your own head stop putting excuses to bash the ps3 the only sys that needs to be bash is the infamous (360) that has cause alot of fanboys a huge pain in the rear like me i’m going on my third so seriously quit acting like you know cause apparently you don’t as for killzone2 (gameplay)is way the ****better than any 360 title staring with my favorite GEARS1 and 2 now you mentioned that all we care about is “graphics” get this i didn’t pay $399 for my 360 and $599 for ps3 so i can have gameplay **** that get real it’s funny how every fanboy on 360 run their mouth about how much gameplay you girls have and most of you forgot that most titles are cross platform fool i’ll be on crack if i bash on ps3 after 90% of 360 owners has experience rrod and having titles on 3 to 4 discs ,or pay for online service that you little figs talking shit. you what and i got a name for it it’s the (lego box) so before anybody start picking or bashing any console start with the one you own
Sony just saying this to try to boost sales, I own both consoles and hav seen many multi-platform games, e.g GTA 4, Assassins Creed, Fifa 09, Far Cry 2 and Xbox 360 is far superior with its sharpness an colours along with the details, maybe you cant fit Killzone at its best on a 360 disc but most games have been developed for 360 and then ported to PS3, lets face it who will get best experience of the game?? 360 users because the PS3 thumbsticks suck and tend to slip. Overall my PS3 has been more reliable, me having had 5 360’s and the latest 1 repaired, but for me the PS3’s main use is the Blu-Ray player.
@James
You’re an idiot, and you probably don’t own a PS3. You can keep lying to yourself and others about your 360 breaking less than your PS3 if it makes you sleep at night, but your 360 will break eventually (if it hasn’t already and you just won’t admit it), its only a matter of time.
A game that focuses on graphics winding up with midly (did you mean mildly? go back to school) enjoyable cinematics and crap gameplay. Sounds alot like Halo 3, except for the part about good graphics that is.
I cant agree that the PS3 broke more than 360, but perhaps Killzone will be awesome, maybe i’ll haveto customise my ps3 controller with 360 thumbsticks, that’ll prob help.
When developers brag about the amount of space that they use it really is nothing, considering they often place textures that are uncompressed and many of the assets are in duplicate locations on the disk to help eliminate read/write access issues. The Blu-ray drive only spins at the same speed as a slow 3x (or 4X max) DVD-drive. So the Xbox 360’s DVD drive can read about 2 times as much data than the PS3 can from its optical disk drive.
This is why many companies have started using mandatory installs on the PS3. So when a company says it cannot be done I would be a little skeptical, and the PS3 has a slightly lower graphical capabilities. Sure the PS3 can crunch more numbers and things at a time, but it does have bottlenecks in its design.
seriously take all that bullshit and put it way up blue-ray broke and continue to rape the dvd format take a look at the games lately (NO INSTALL) another *Bill gates* wannabe every 360 fanbitch keep saying the same old shit that 360 this 360 that and how much better than ps3 but when push comes to shove who handle mgs4,lbp,gt5,resistanse1,2,uncharted,heavenly sword,and to make it sweeter KILLZONE2 now go and compared to Gears and milky halo. My point is
360 is not better than ps3 far from it
@ PS3’s an F’in Total Waste,
I do hope that this game makes the PS3 a worthwile console. I’ll stick with my several hundred dollar less machine that has a larger, better library of games. Everyone knows multiplatform games look better on the 360.
yawn……yawn……YYYYYYAAAAAAWWWWWNNNNNN
