As a curiosity, at the end of the development of Killzone 2, the developers of the game discovered that they only used 60% of the PS3. They use all the SPU (there are 6 SPUs), but not 100%. In Killzone 3 they don't use it at 100% either, according to the interviews they gave, they only managed to use 95%, admitting that there was room for improvement in anti-aliasing. Killzone 2 was set to be released in 2008, but Sony, seeing that there was a lot of competition, decided to delay the game until 2009 and also put more money into making it come out better. Killzone 2 came out very polished at its premiere.

Reminder that the PS3 had a total of 512mb of ram (0.5gb), half of which was the VRAM. A PS5 has 16gb of RAM and an additional 512mb of RAM specifically set aside as an SSD cache. Killzone 2 did all of that on a fraction of the memory available.

back then developers had a bit of knowledge about computers so they were able to perform these optimizations, nowadays if your code is bloated, you just throw a gorillion more RAM into it until it works.

[@assa-eu4kq]

@@Smougda funny you say that, because hao Chen of Bungie said the opposite back in Dec 2011 after reach and before destiny was announced 'We found out that even for 360, we were grossly underutilizing the CPU, mostly due to our multithreading design that doesn't allow us to spread the work and execute them in parallel. So we redid the whole architecture in the new multiplat engine' basically the 360 single thread was so good they didn't even need to do optimize their multithread like PS3 devs were forced to. the full interview is called 'all that glitters' on Game Developer. fun fact, the og Xbox had a dedicated sound processing chip so halo 2 could do all the audio for free, but for h3 almost 1 whole 360 CPU core had to be reserved just to do sound, and you get less variation in some audio like marine dialogue, if u play straight from disk and without the 360 hdd

Hear me out: For some reason, atoms grow in number of protons and neutrons at (i think) equal rates. The stability of an atom, however, requires the number of neutrons to be in a zone that grows at a higher rate than protons do. This leads to elements with more protons (aka a higher atomic number) being the radioactive ones. I think this applies either to game or to developers. Either games are harder to make (radioactive) past a certain size, or publishers and developers just can't make good games past a certain size or a certain time.

The only drawback to killzone 2 back in the day was that it consisted of 27 different shades of grey

[@jxmai7687]

and we were playing with the old crapy TV.

[@laughingseal2282]

A lot of shooters that era were gray and had that awful sepia filter. Cod mw 1 and 2 are pretty colorless too

[@WayStedYou]

almost like they were trying to tell a gritty story

Between 27 shades of gray and modern day rainbow vomit, i would rather have my grays, thank you very much.

You had to play Concord for this video. Such a sacrifice made for such a funny comparison

[@ahmataevo]

The information in the opening text is inaccurate. Concord did not cost $100M to make. Concord cost over $400M to make.

15 year old game? Stop lying. It's a 5 year old game

Gaming is actually going backwards.... what happened...

[@NebLleb]

Actually, Gaming is doing fine, you just need to look a little bit deeper. As AAA experiences a crash in slow motion, AA and Indie games are doing surprisingly well. Not to mention remasters of old faves.

[@reknostarfox4690]

Just AAA+ gaming crashing down, Indie games are now taking over

As soon as I saw the thumbnail I immediately recognized Killzone 2 and thought, yup Concord is done for... Killzone 2 was way ahead of its time. 😂

[@potatolord8444]

I mean it's Killzone 2. To me it looks and feels better than most games. Both if it's time and now. It's a fantastic look at what game can push and what used to be expected.

[@rubinoiz]

Even the shooting in the classic versions of doom feels better than that...

[@minhkieu21]

This is has a very Crowbcat B4B vs L4D vibe.

[@marcusfenix891]

Killzone was a masterpiece concord looks like a cartoon !

[@rustedknight_]

Simply looking like a cartoon isn't a bad thing. Concord lacks a personality and tries to paint it all with a splash of colors.

[@diddledbydid-q5z]

still wild how mag had 125 vs 125 multiplaer player battles on ps3 and the biggest game ever on ps5 was hell let loose which is 50vs 50 and it pushes the system to the max

[@alltheparts]

I like that you included KZ2 MP map footage to show this wasn't just single-player set piece stuff. Back in the day I thought that was the default state for modern game technology. But really these things require dedicated and detail oriented developers making sure everything feels right. The same goes for Far Cry 2 versus modern Far Cry, such a big difference in how much interaction there is in the world. Another issue is that so many games these days use pre-made game engines like UE5. If the engine the team is using doesn't have a certain feature, it simply doesn't get included in the game. While back in the day tech was more custom built to fit the game they were making.

i booted deep rock galactic to compare it with the gunner's "Hurricane" rocket launcher and even an indie company managed to make it better and plus the terrain is fully destructible too, you dont need to go back 15 years, just need to pick any indie game and it will wreck these AAA companies easily
