Well yesterday we saw one image pop up that got slammed for blocky textures.

Now the trailers is out, so does it make up for it.

yup

trade off on texture deffo went into pixles on character modles because they look fantastic.

I just got back from Sony's private Killzone 2 party. It was held at a little sushi place on Ocean Avenue called Sushi Roku. The good news is that Killzone 2 was playable, the bad news is that the only ones allowed to play it were the developers.

The game presentation started with a very familiar cut scene that showed a group of men being flown in to take on the Helghast. The trailer's graphics were amazing. It's probably some of the best facial animation I've seen in a console game. I did find the mouth movements to be a bit uncanny, but otherwise it was some pretty impressive stuff.

After what we thought was a short trailer, the game dropped straight into actual, live gameplay. And I do mean live, the game was actually being played by one of the developers as we watched.

The developer proceeded to play through an entire level of the game as we looked on in stunned silence. There was a lot to take in during the lengthy gameplay session. First, the game appears to not feature a HUD, in fact the only time I saw anything on the screen that was hud like was when the developer fired or switched weapons.

The game's look was the most stunning thing about it. Much like Resistance Fall of Man, it wasn't anyone thing that really stood out (though the lighting effects were just plain stunning) but rather the combination of everything you were seeing. There was so much detail, so much activity that it was hard for you to take it all in as it happened. Instead the game's intense action and detailed graphics helped to create what the developers called a violent theater of war.

The little things I did notice about the game included destructible environments, enemies that not only reacted to being shot, but to where they were shot, impressive weather, fire, and lightning effects and a world that was abuzz with activity.

The game seemed to have some pretty significant muzzle drift when a weapon was fired and the AI looked fairly intelligent, though I couldn't tell just how clever they were being because the developer ran through it so quickly.

After the gameplay session the developers told us that that one single level (which was played on a Playstation 3) had taken up 2GB of data. They said the game, which takes place on the Helghast planet, will have you taking on enemies armed with weather-based weapons. The game itself will also require you to pay attention to weather.

The game will include multiplayer that will have "links to" home and Killzone 2.com, but the developers said they couldn't yet go more into that. Oh, they also made a big deal out of the fact that their trailer did feature in-game, real-time cut scenes. In fact, they ran through the beginning of it a second time, pausing in the middle to move the camera around and zoom in and out, just to prove there was nothing up their sleeves.

I think Killzone 2 is probably the most impressive game I've seen so far at E3. Granted it's early in the show, but I think the game has a good chance to retaining that title. But don't trust me. Starting at 3 p.m. Pacific time Wednesday, Sony will have the new Killzone 2 trailer up on the Playstation Store. Go check it out and report what you think of the trailer back here.

motion = sex








still in alpha aswell, can only imagine when released

[draganess]

Im not into shooty games really but this one does look good. Very lifelike.

[X-Buster!]

Looks well good I must say!

[majin]

extended gameplay was shown at sony conference, was amazing!

That looks awesome, shame it's about a year too late to make a good impression, if that was a launch title it would have blown away every game on the 360 by looking actually next-gen. Now it only looks a bit better.

Killzone has to be the only game shown at E3 that has gotten progressively worse looking. We all know why that is though don't we? Thats not to say its bad looking, its visually really rather good, but still within the shadow of the faked ingame footage we all saw previously. I still don't get the hype. The original Killzone was an over marketed Halo beater that ended up being completely **** and in no way comparable to Halo. I can't quite see the same team coming up with anything even remotely significant.

Haha, did they actually claim that was in-game footage, or something like "it's not, but the game will look like this" Yeah sure it will...

Killzone was a bog-standard FPS, but so was Halo.

what?

the game is fking amazing in motion and its not going to be released for a year or so yet as its still in alpha, you seem to be a downer on anything sony anyway, so im not surprised with your comments. you seen the trailer vs gameplay comparison footage on gametrailers though? not that much of a difference tbh.

if they didnt hit it, they got pretty damn close.

I disagree, it's very different. It does look really good but the original trailer was much better looking.

I can't believe it's so late as well, another year? By that time 360 games will look as good as it will.
