Unless Killzone 3 comes out on the Playstation 4 it won't match those visuals.

TBH, we don't know if that's true or not. If some PS3 developers take a completely different route with rendering, it MIGHT be possible. They would most likely have to leave the rasterization process behind and head into Ray-tracing territory. In that case, they could use RSX (GPU) as a GPGPU. Each SPU has the ability to setup 3 million triangles at 1080p. There are 6 SPUs at the disposal of developers. It could have some VERY interesting results.
