Guerrilla compares Killzone 1 and 2, side-by-side

Don't. It was particularly good then and I'm sure it's even worse now.

Killzone 2 was pretty good though.

Whoops. Meant "wasn't".

Good for you. K1 was a fantastic game and one to have in your PS2 collection. There was a lot of bashing of the game because it had built hype as the Halo killer. So, of course, nothing else mattered and the game was criticized for about just everything. Even the graphical glitches were over- exaggerated. They were no worse than most technical issues with games at that time. However because the art direction was gorgeous it more than made up for any glitches present.

Not only that but the single player campaign was great. The story and characters were interesting and the situations intense. I played it again recently and there was little shock to go back to 2004 graphics in that game. They were that good. Moreover I put it in my PS3 and logged into the servers. Early in the year there were still people available to play online.

you're right, they should have mixed in more chrome

Yeah right, war should only be all about the purple lasers and purple hover bikes.

Yes. They should have made the game colorful and over saturated like Halo, right? Who cares about art direction, right?

it wasnt sarcasm, the killzone 2 team had an amazing art direction if they can use shades of black, and 1 colour of red to make a beautiful game

Your comment is a joke

I really think you need to come off the Meth-Amphetamines

Too much rage.

Also if the PS2 is such a joke how come they keep porting games between the PS2 and the Wii.

ps2 a joke huh???

183 million people will disagree with you........

You do realize that most games in the last generation had baked lighting, right? Even this generation still uses it as a way of saving processing.

And also do you realize that pop in (including textures) was one of the most common issue seven in high profile games such as the GTA series, right? The issues in K1 were not worse than the average game except K1 attempted more complex graphics and effects it is commendable that only those glitches were evident.

Time to dust off some of those old games and check them again.

Actually I'd disagree. It was a very good game with good graphics. The fact that it was story driven (rather than most FPS's that had barely a story to justify you gunning down everything in sight) and that you had visible, talking character, made the game a great experience. I'd recommend to anyone to go back and play regardless of whether you played K2 or not. If you haven't, it will be a great intro to the story arc. If you have, a great reminder of how the franchise got started and the amazing feats that Guerrilla did with the hardware back then.
