So we all know Crysis and then Uncharted 2 have the best graphics of any game at the moment. But what about KZ2 and Shattered Horizon? which has better graphics?

I have to go with Shattered Horizion

thread without pics wont do anything. Get some pics and then let us decide. I find Shattered horizon more impressive on a technical standpoint.

Killzone 2 looks better. SH graphics don't look very good imo, it's so bland.

killzones art is not good at all. Its kindof a joke. When it comes to art and design, all KZ2 has is its signiture Helgast Helmet design but after that its standard dark scifi design and atmosphere.

KZ2 has better particle effects and lightning than what we have seen of SH. There's alot more going on in KZ2.

Better particle effects, maybe, but SH lighting is much better and more complicated than KZ2s

SH has fake lighting. You see those lights at the top left? That's fake lighting. The only lighting from what we've seen from SH is from the sun as it is casting shadows on objects.

you idiot, Shattered Horizon is in space, all of that lighting is from the sun or the suns light reflected off of the Earth's surface.

and anyway, SH still looks BETTER.

jettpack

No need for insults.

I'm pointing out that SH has fake lightning and therefore creating unimpressive shadows. The textures aren't anything to boast about as well.

The deferred shading that KZ2 uses isn't really that advanced either, and you can't tell anything from that screenshot.

I dont understand what you mean by fake lighting? That makes no sense. and whatever you mean by that, Shattered Horizon's lighting is better than KZ2s. Its pretty obvious. And the textures are excellent. Did you look at the picutres i posted? KZ2s textures are blurry whereas Shattered Horizon's are not.

SH looks better tecnically. The graphics are also really good, but I think Killzone wins. I'll wait till SH comes out to actually judge.

fake lighting = emitting light without a light source. As in you're not letting the light source do the lighting but instead the lighting is put at a pre-determined spot and will never change.

Also you are using bad pics of kz2, here's a better one

Shattered horizon lacks graphical variety, but it's technically better, but games like this will never be crowned as graphics king, unlike Crysis

I don't think Killzone 2 has much of a artstyle either, Shattered horizon doesn't look bland, but boring because of the landscape. I never find space graphics appealing.

Which runs in a higher resolution? With higher resolution textures? Using DX10?

I think SH takes this one.

I honestly dont know. Shattered Horizon seems to have high requirements but that doesnt necessary mean its better and its not that impressive. I am undecided.

Looking at SH's system requirements, which are a higher-end dual core CPU and a Geforce 8800GT (and thats minimum!) it sure should look better than Killzone 2, though in my opinion it does (technically) but is way duller looking.

Why are the Cows so Butthurt?

SH is on PC. This means that it can run at extremely high resolutions (1680x1050, 1920x1080, 2560x1600). These resolutions are also what is actually seen on screen,unlike consoles, which have to upscale to reach such resolutions without crippling the system.

Also, there are more than 2 colours. So, in graphics, Shattered Horizon gets my vote.

P.S- I don't hate consoles, but pitting PC against a Console isn't really fair.

Please dont even bring Stalker to graphic discussions. Its an awesome game but it doesnt beat Uncharted 2.

sh is objectively better looking.

in terms of style, both are almost impossibly boring and uncreative, especially for being 2009 games, its totally inexcusable. i understand sh was going for a 'realistic' look, which is cool, but that doesnt mean it can be without style. to see realistic treatment of space exploration with a sense of style the cartoon 'planetes' is a good example.
