There have been numerous visual comparisons between Bungie’s upcoming Halo: Reach and Guerrilla Games’ Killzone 2. Now it’s time to let the numbers do the talking and tell you for real which game looks better. Victor Zuylen over at Killzone.com posted as far back as 2008 about the evolution of Rico Velasquez, an ISA sergeant in Killzone 2. He talks about the exact amount of design changes and rendering Rico underwent, before the final Killzone 2 version was done. His article contained this statement: “Rico’s new, close-cropped head is comprised of over 4600 polygons, whereas in Killzone 1 it consisted of only 1800 polygons.” We did some snooping and discovered some 3D character art by Gary Huang for Bungie’s Halo: Reach, which he’s been working on since January 2010 – and they look exactly like the same renders for the futuristic foot soldiers that Bungie has put up online as being featured in Reach. The head’s polygon count? A mere 1300 for the “hi-res” model. As added proof, the hi-res pictures are named “Ingame” and “realtime”, showing that they are indeed the models used in Halo: Reach. Doing a rough calculation, it seems Killzone 2’s head polygon count for Rico, with no helmet or visor, is roughly about 72% more than the number of polygons for the Reach’s futuristic soldier – that’s a difference of about 3300 polygons. Factoring in total body polygon count may bring the percentage difference down, but not by very much given the amount of detailing models in Killzone 2 carry compared to Reach. It actually seems that even Killzone 1 has a higher head polygon count than Reach, with 1800 to 1300. You can view Huang’s concept art below and Rico’s final head model for Killzone 1 and 2.

That guy is retarded. Only becuase I have a few minutes before Jay Leno comes on will I point out just a few of his falicies. Otherwise this guy isn't even worth talking about, accept to laugh at.

1. He uses a final polygon count of KZ2 compared to a concept model of Halo Reach.

---- Final Vs Concept = Moron

2. He compares the "real time", but only in cutscene, model of KZ2's main character Rico to a random soldier model, as in non-playable character, from Halo Reach.

---- Main Character Vs NPC = Retard

3. Even if this guy was right, and he isn't, his math is all wrong. If you go by his numbers, 1300 polys vs 4600 polys it would be a 253.84% increase, not his stated 72%. But let's say he meant 1300 is 72% of 4600. Nope that would be 28.26%.

---- Moron + Retard + Bad Simple Math = Typical PS3 Fantard

There just jealous that they will never have halo like sales

Some reality.

The soldier models aren't Reach game assets at all. They are models created as part of a submission portfolio/test when the artist was seeking contract employment with Bungie. In other words..They used a head model from a game that doesn't even exist and compared them with Killzone 2.

Split-Screen jumped the gun earlier saying Killzone 2 had 72% more head polygon count than Halo:Reach. Surprising information indeed even if it's unfair to compare a complete game to another game still in development. Even more striking is the fact that they tried to compare a random NPC soldier model that it's barely seen in Halo:Reach to a main character from Killzone 2.

The zealots can take that to the bank!

This is confirmed as a fake.

Its pointless to compare the two when one isnt even out yet. I hope they put the same amount of love into reach that they did with ME2.

Hahahaha Sony fantards get pwned yet again

72%....because 71% is low and 73% is just too much.

Does Mass Effect 2 have more polygons than both? I just beat the game, and the faces on that game look stunning!

Trying to hate on Reach.......Halo Reach will be THE biggest game of 2010!!!
