“Killzone 2 could totally be done” on the Microsoft Xbox 360, says Christian Allen, a games designer who previously worked at Bungie, the company behind the Halo series on the Xbox 360. Killzone 2 is Sony’s best attempt yet to directly rival Halo’s epic first-person shooter success, on the PS3.
While Killzone 2’s visuals have been nearly universally feted as making it the best looking first-person shooter ever, Allen believes this is not down to any superiority in the PS3’s power compared to the Microsoft Xbox 360. Allen told HipHopGamer: “Halo could come to PS3. It really comes down to console exclusivity. The tech differences between the PS3 and the 360 aren’t all that much.”
Allen also believes that developing for the Microsoft Xbox 360 used to be easier, but the differences between the two consoles are now very small. Of course, Killzone 2 will never come to the Xbox 360, in the same way Halo will never go to the PS3 – these exclusive titles are what drive gamers to one console over another. But Allen is not the first developer to admit that underneath it all, the Sony PS3 and Microsoft Xbox 360 are more alike than they are different.
