So the greatest most hyped game that we have (other than MGS4) Killzone 2 is only running at 30fps on 720p. I got to say that I'm dissapointed. I mean what's the reason for 1080p when all the games are running at 720p?? H.S. is 720p too! I'm not happy at all! But still this game will be awsome and I can't wait to play it. I just expected this to be 60fps and 1080p.

No link to read, but, I dont care about FPS or resolution as long as the game looks great and plays without any big hicups. A smooth 30FPS is better than a screen tearing unstable 60FPS.

It also has issues with screen tearing. No too many people have 1080p displays and 720p is just fine so I see no reason to try and force something that isnt working out.

Read the article on IGN talking about KZ and the devolper states the game in running at a smooth 30FPS and 720p.

this is a pre-alpha build of the game, they can tweak it as it progresses, they can add a better framerate or 1080i/p support if after the core of the game is finished, there is enough horsepower left to add these things in.

Do u know what Gears was 30fps so i am personally not worried at all. If gears looks that awesome with 30 Fps then Killzone 2 will kick ass at 30FPS

hmmm images and video so far look fantastic.... so as long as it looks as good as it does now or better I'm happy... I dont care what the tech specs are as long as its 720p or 1080i. As far as 30 fps as long as it doesn't dip below that I"m happy too.

You guys do realize a lot of FPS games only run and are tested at 30FPS with the FPS genre especially that's totally acceptable you won't even notice it if it's a "CONSTANT" 30FPS then it will run smooth as butter.

not even close there will never be a game machine using it's limits in 1.2 years of life cycle. dev teams learn new and differant ways to use the power.

Well movies run less than 30fps; at least this way they can use the power of the PS3 to do other stuff, other than wasting that exta power to get it running at 60fps and 1080p. a constant 30fps is excellent if alot is going on on screen, and from wat we've seen a lot is happening.

Once Mathijs and Steven opened up the floor to questions, the specs of Sony's golden game started to come into focus. Killzone 2 will run at a steady 30 fps in 720p. On the gameplay side, the duo said Sixaixis will be implemented in the game but weren't allowed to elaborate, and although the team couldn't talk about multiplayer, they said the medic gun would be in there for players to help each other and described the mode as a "considerable" component that would use Home and Killzone.com, For the final question of the meeting, someone asked how much of the Blu-Ray disc the game would use. Mathijs and Steven chuckled. The E3 level everyone had just seen clocks in at 2 GB.

Guerrilla expects to pretty much use the whole disc.

thats form the IGN site, neways it still is possable, i mean ur right about the whole pre-alpha, and if nething they will put this game up to 1080p

I have been saying this for a year now. The sweet spot for this generation is 720p. When you up the resolution to 1080p, you have to reduce frame rate, effects or both. Killzone 2 is the definition of the type of game that should run at 720p. If it ran at 1080p, it would look like crap.

Gears of War was 30fps and 720p and looks amazing. Killzone 2 will also look amazing. Don't fret 1080p

Some type of games can run at 60/1080p and others can not. NGS was one that could get away with it since it was only a few players on the screen at the same time. This is why the 40 player matches on RFOM are at a solid 30fps.

Yes, but like I said before. It depends on the game whether 60fps or 1080p will be used. For example, a slow moving RPG (like Silent Hill) could do wonders with a 60fps/1080p game. Or maybe a 30/1080p. It just depends. But for games that have a lot of players and lots of detailed 30fps might be best for that game.

Go to IGN, please.

Anyways, I don't really care. We've all played games that are 30fps and it runs great. Example: Resistance: Fall of Man. 720p isn't a problem either. You guys can't tell me 720p doesn't look amazing.

if this game was pushing the ps3s limits less than a year into its life cycle, i would be really worried. there is no chance.

i'm not disappointed in the game just the idea that they say its best to have 1080P televisions for the PS3, but most the games that have and are coming out are in 720p i mean come on the only thing the PS3 really uses 1080p for is the Blu-Ray playback...but other then that i think the game looks beautiful.

I'm disappointed that this generation of gaming is so split that we have radical fanboys bringing the issue of "frames per second" into play. This has never mattered to people on consoles before, why should it now? According to the stats for oblivion, it runs at the same fps as the 360 yet its smoother on the ps3. But I dont brag about it and when I had a 360 I didnt disown the system because of it. If the game looks good, plays good, and runs smooth, I dont care if it's called 1 fps, I'm playing it. Not a single fanboy is going to talk me out of it either whether its a sony fanboy (see poster) or a 360 fanboy (see 360 forums). And with that said, please excuse me while I play folklore

If they can get the animations, textures, physics and lighting just right because of it, then I'd be happy. But if any of those aren't up to "amazing" standards, I'd be dissappointed...

KillZone 2 will be fine at this speed. it's not a fast-paced FPS. That being said, I AM concerned about UT3 being only 30fps while enabling cross-platform play. PC owners are going to have an advantage there.

someone said it would be at 60fps (UT3). I know (from experience) that on PCs FPS can matter but i didnt think it was big on a console because you dont have to really meet certain specs. They're all standard for all games.
