Killzone 2 dev admits screenshots 'touched up'


Recommended Posts

Why is it that so many PS3 games are washed out like that? I mean in some cases it looks better, but in this case it looks worse IMO.

I agree. PS3 games tend to have crappy contrast (with the exception of Uncharted and Ratchet). It was understandable on the PS2, but PS3..come on.

Killzone 2 needs more colors too. I know they're trying to represent war and its nitty grittiness, but they dont'have to make it drabby. Metal gear Solid gotta be more than green . lol

Its becuase Sony thinks that "realism" is everything. MGS4, KZ2, Warhawk and Resistance all look like this.

I wouldn't say doomed but I am pretty sure it's not good since this is one of the killer games, isn't it? Haha what a joke.

You forgot the part where you blame Sony. Even if it isn't their fault. And the part where you'll never buy their products again. :laugh:

EA, Microsoft, 2K, Sony, EVERYONE does it, so why care now? This is just even stupid to be news as we all know screen shots are always touched up.

Because its cool to hate Sony atm... So people like boz make a big deal out of it.

You still don't get it. It's not cool to hate Sony. They lie, mislead and use tactics like this in order to sell us mediocre products. It's their poor business ethics and simple disregard for consumers that I hate, not because it's popular.

To be honest these problems would be solve and prevented if there wasn't a lot of people like you and others who actually justify these actions as something normal. You know, if you like being made a jackass and shown something that you actually don't get and then you can't even return the game if it sucks, then go ahead, but please don't spill rubbish here.

I had Sony TVs and electronics when you didn't even know what Sony was and the company was incredible once, but in the past 15 years they've become the worst arrogant, cheating, criminal corporation that simply does anything it can in order to compete with better and stronger products.

Again, it's not because it's cool, it's because you and other young folks fail to see the reality of things. I just don't understand why? Are parents buying these thigns for you so you dont' really appreciate the money paid for products or what? I really don't get it.

To be honest:

nowadays I expect studios to polish.

Screenshots that are taken and viewed without manipulation don't give a just impression either, as since the running game always looks a gazillion times better.

As long as I don't come around a game and am like disappointed because I expected to see better quality I won't complain too much about that topic.

Let's get real

I do get it, i know Sony business practices, i bought the console because i wanted it and i like playing games, i dont base my choice on buying a console because of the politics of whichever game company.

To be honest these problems would be solve and prevented if there wasn't a lot of people like you and others who actually justify these actions as something normal.

Im not justifying anything, i play the games because i like them, i buy the console because the games are on that console, i dont have or support an agenda unlike you who takes it as some personal insult and feel like you must belittle the console and its users like you so regularly do.

You know, if you like being made a jackass and shown something that you actually don't get and then you can't even return the game if it sucks, then go ahead, but please don't spill rubbish here.

Pot. Kettle. Black. I read your incessant rantings that no one agreed with in the Uncharted thread.

I had Sony TVs and electronics when you didn't even know what Sony was and the company was incredible once, but in the past 15 years they've become the worst arrogant, cheating, criminal corporation that simply does anything it can in order to compete with better and stronger products.

More insults. Im only 3 years younger than you so that blows your theory out of the water, i dont buy just for the brand name, i buy because i enjoy the product im buying, but im not going to change anything by not buying their product.

Again, it's not because it's cool, it's because you and other young folks fail to see the reality of things.

How many times are you going to personally insult me before the mods do something about it?

Just because i dont support your personal war against the evil Sony doesnt mean i dont see what they are doing.

I just don't understand why? Are parents buying these thigns for you so you dont' really appreciate the money paid for products or what? I really don't get it.

For a 31 year old you are pretty immature yourself, how many more insults are you going to fling at people just because they dont agree with your viewpoints. I work hard and pay for everything i own although i dont see why i should have to justify myself to you.

First of all just because "every company does it" don't make it right. You cannot argue with this.

Second of all I study Media and Film and advertising is a big part of my studies and I can tell you now this is doctoring or "touching up" to the point that IT IS false advertising and how people are able to overlook this is beyond me :|

I have no personal vendetta against Sony but I will not stand for any company that feeds the general public bull**** the fact of the matter is that this looks like a whole different game engine and therefore they should get nailed with a fine just like every other disgrace of a company that does it should.

And seriously sheppard

"Pot. Kettle. Black. I read your incessant rantings that no one agreed with in the Uncharted thread."

That has nothing to do with this thread.

You would not be so ignorant as to think that everybody MUST share the same opinion as you?

If you get insulted your just as bad if you reply with and insult instead be the better man and let the mods deal with it as they see fit and don't derail the topic...

the only problem i see with this false advertising argument is that the game isn't even out yet. i would agree with it if the game was out now and the difference with the game and screenshots was as noticeable as it is now. however, the game is in my opinion a good 5 or 6 months away. many previews look nothing at all like the final game, it's nothing new. we've already seen videos of the game in action and they looked great. i would reserve judgment of this game for when it comes out, and not base it on a touched up screenshot.

I found this part interesting:

(effects that seem within the limits of standard display settings; i.e., a television could be capable of displaying both the dull and stylized versions of this scene by tinkering with its display settings).

So if you play with your TV settings, you will be able to see the "doctored" graphics.

I can agree for that. I admit lots of PS3 screen shots looks like the color is dull, changing the HDMI color option from Limited to Full and turning Super-white on makes a world of difference for me. But most screenshots from developers and reviewers are taken with the default PS3 settings because well some TVs don't work all those options.

Alright, you wanted the console. Brilliant. The fact of the matter is not that you enjoy the console, the fact is that Sony is full of arrogance and lack of customer recognition. Have you ever tried to get something from Sony fixed? Its damn near impossible to get them to replace faulty hardware, you generally have to just buy a new one (like that Sony TV is have, which almost every model has a glitch with the speakers where they randomly start clicking repetively). "Just becuase I wanted to" is just being an ignorant consumer. Your using your own forced ignorance to justify your purchase when you already know your purchase wasn't the best choice. Sony isn't that great, end of story.

More insults. Im only 3 years younger than you so that blows your theory out of the water, i dont buy just for the brand name, i buy because i enjoy the product im buying, but im not going to change anything by not buying their product.

He never said anything about avoiding just because of the brand name. He gave you his point of view and you disregarded it merely because he misjudged your age? Enjoying a product also has NOTHING to do with that products quality. Kids in Africa would probably enjoy a TV with half a screen, simply becuase they get a TV, but people like us who expect to get back the amount of money they put in look at the pros and cons of each choice. If you want to dilly dally in just buying a TV cause its a TV, thats fine, waste your money. Thats no excuse for Sony's BS.

Just because i dont support your personal war against the evil Sony doesnt mean i dont see what they are doing.

Then apparently you like bad customer service and shotty construction of your products. Just becuase you say you know what they are doing doesn't make you any less careless in your purchases.

For a 31 year old you are pretty immature yourself, how many more insults are you going to fling at people just because they dont agree with your viewpoints. I work hard and pay for everything i own although i dont see why i should have to justify myself to you.

Maturity is hard to measure. So far I would say that you are the lesser in this case. Not by the way you are addressing him, merely by the logic you use. Just becuase it works doesn't make it good, and neither does the fact you worked for the money you spent. Face it, you might have made a bad decision and you have no reason's other than "I enjoy them" to justify it.

And if you don't have to justify it, why even post here?

Ooh! Criminal Corporation.

I have no idea what Sony ever did to you Boz, but you must hate them with a passion, like they're the anti-Christ of the industry to you. I have had a Sony TV once, and it worked perfectly. Never had any problems.

I'm interested to know if "touching up" screenshots for a videogame can be considered a form of false advertising.

Truly is in my eyes. Always happened and will for a much longer time. Until games reach a level where they already look too spectacular :p
