Killzone 3 versus RAGE: HD Screenshot comparison

Undoubtedly two of the most anticipated first person shooter games this generation, Killzone 2 and RAGE are both visual master pieces on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Guerilla’s managing director, Hermen Hulst, has stated Killzone 3 will use close to 100% of the PS3′s power. That’s what every developer says when they are working on a PlayStation 3 exclusive title, with each sequel actually bettering what the previous did.
RAGE, well we have got this to say. RAGE is one of the most artistic games that we have ever witnessed this generation. And we expected nothing less from the awesome development team at id Software. As the developers revealed at E3, every object in the game is rendered differently which means no two objects will the same in the game.

With both the games being developed by world class developers, we decided to do a screenshot comparison of both the games. We have done the comparison in terms of character models, environments and first person view. And believe me it’s very hard to pick up a winner. So I will rather let the hard work be done by you guys.

    Rage looks like Fallout lolz

    It’s really hard to say, especially from the screen shots. The environments are SOOO different. The gun models look WAAAY better in Killzone 3… but that’s the only thing really easy to see to me. For the most part, it’s hard to see if one is “better” or simply different b/c of the art direction. With the exception of ONE of the Rage screenshots, I have to lean towards Killzone 3 though.

    Despite the difference in colors Killzone 3 looks better.

    WOW! Both games look absolutely stunning. But I noticed that in these screen shots, Rage still looks like a GAME. Whereas in Killzone 3, it’s much closer [than rage] to looking REAL. The graphics seem much more polished. Check out the 2nd and 3rd screen shot if you don’t know what I mean.

    They both look great, stunning, Killzone 3 just looks closer to being real than Rage does, but in the end…IT IS ALL BE BEAUTIFUL ^_^ <3

    killzone3 looks way better

  9. Jake | August 26, 2010 10:39 pm

    Id has gone for a slightly cartoonish look of the characters in Rage and therefor, like BlackReaper says, Killzone 3 looks more real since Guerilla has gone for a more gritty, realistic feel but both games look absolutely great! It’s hard to say which game has better graphics because of the difference in art direction.

    Rage is an open world game running at 60 fps…nuff said

    You PS3 fans are a riot! This isn’t even close, KZ3 looks slightly washed out and very flat. Rage looks incredible, so much for “only possible on PS3″ ooooh man that was always just Sony marketing bullsh%t!

  12. Edgar | August 27, 2010 02:37 am

    Personally I think Rage looks better, but I think that comes down to my preference for Rage’s art direction. Both games look fantastic. The fact that Rage is a multi platform game makes it all the more impressive. Carmack is a god among video developers.

    Killzone 3 trumps Rage in these screenshots by a considerable margin. Speaking of art direction, realism and envoirnments is a completely different debate. However, both games also have there respective gameplay, where I would probably lean towards Rage for being post apocalytpic, love that setting, but again no denying Killzone 3 jetpacks and badass multiplayer

    HA!! Retards!! KZ3 ALL the u MORONS!!! The rage multi plat, KZ3 can only run on the PS3. What console has better graphics?? I shouldn’t even have to ask….NO xbox game can match the graphics or physics of Drake, MGS4 or KZ.

  16. Zombie | August 27, 2010 02:31 pm

    both games do look amazing but killzone 3 has more crisp textures but there is 1 thing you have 2 take in 2 consideration is that rage is free rome so puting it 2 that i think rage has 1 but puting that aside an yes killzone 3 dos look better

  17. PAPPY2004 | August 27, 2010 04:26 pm

    RAGE looks so much better, killzone is also good but RAGE is the winner for me.

  18. NinjaTrouiLLe | August 27, 2010 05:02 pm

    What is the purpose comparing two games with totally different color palette/art style, on immobile screenshots… especially when some of those screenshots are bullshots and some others are not. 3 out of two screens of KZ3 are editor’s screens, might be the same for Rage… not even equally spread in comparisons.

  19. Kwami | August 28, 2010 08:10 am

    Having seen both games in action, for real, I can tell you that those shots from Killzone are doctored, the shots from Rage are real.

    So, this comparison means absolutely nothing.

  20. Pixolator | February 18, 2011 06:52 pm

    Killzone 3 for me also, Rage screens are could be from PC, we don’t know that the game will come with same quality on to consoles…
