I'm praying Guerrilla Games isn't lying to us again. Killzone 2 was awesome, but no where near the first "gameplay" trailer GG showed.

Edit: lol they "confirmed" that at E3 2005 as well.

UnRated4072d ago

GG confirmed that the KZ4 demo shown at the event was live.

UnRated4072d ago (Edited 4072d ago )

Those are not the "very same graphics running real time." You can clearly tell that the CG demo employs higher polycount, better shadowing, better particles, better post-processing effects and other things that just aren't possible on consoles or PCs even today.

Want to know why? because it was never meant to run in real time. A character in that CG video was probably 100,00 polygons alone.

It probably took days to render that video on multiple computers because CG movies are rendered using render farms.

GG matched the look of the CG video but it's not the very same graphics. Keep the hyperbole to yourself.

You can disagree with me all you want but I have a knowledge of how these things work. I do 3D work on my spare time for video games

WarThunder4071d ago (Edited 4071d ago )

@UnRated
its was all gameplay ingame Demo. no CG

U know nothing about 3D gamearts so stfu...

hakis864071d ago

NeverEnding1989: Well then just look up Jimmy Fallon on Youtube, you clearly see that they are playing it live *(Jimmy messes up because of inverted controls or something, hehe)

why you so angry m´boy?

Blackdeath_6634071d ago

multiple sources confirmed it is actual gameplay also there is alternate footage to the game play of the same area in on of the gamplay footages the person playing couldn't kill the helghan before he jumped onto the flying craft/ship but in another gameplay footage someone managed to kill that helghan before he managed to escape. further proof that its real. here are the two clips http://n4g.com/news/1178684...
http://n4g.com/news/1177955...

absolutely no doubt its real

Gazondaily4071d ago

Jimmy Fallon was playing the game last night. There's a different gameplay video out on Youtube.

Genuine-User4071d ago (Edited 4071d ago )

It was real dude.
Here the confirmation: https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Irishguy954071d ago (Edited 4071d ago )

What?

It's clearly gameplay...it's not THAT impressive either(as CG). It's what you'd expect by todays standard on THAT hardware. Look at BF3 in 1080P(or even 720P) on highest settings on Youtube. This gameplay video is NOT CG. To mistake it for that is just showing how much knowledge you lack in these things. Anyone who thinks Killzone 4 is something completely amazing and Unseen is also showing their lack of knowledge on the Subject.

This was great looking. Next gen(PC is already there folks and has been since 580GTX came out) and i'm glad more games will finally be looking like they came from 2013

What i'm really glad about is the draw distance and huge amount of Details in that distance. It's what I want out of this generation.

Edit--_I know unrated(took me a second to notice though) I was talking to the Opening poster

Genuine-User i'm currently switching between PC and Ps3 each day(Witcher 2 and Dust 514 atm), I don't even have a powerful PC. It's just good enough to play the games. Still have a 8800GTX(which in fairness is better than the Ps3 and 360) but it can still run everything so i'm fine with that. Most games that it can run on Low only are still good looking(thus is 2013) although I can even run Witcher 2 on medium to high now(after alot of patches/enhanced edition)

UnRated4071d ago (Edited 4071d ago )

My post above refers to the Killzone 2 CG demo they showed off to reveal the game way back. It was reply to another poster who's comment is now 'SPAM'

I can't even edit my comment anymore to make a reference towards that.

Genuine-User4071d ago

Us console gamers are happy with what we saw from the Event, especially Killzone Shadow Fall. It's only going to get better from here mate.
I do own a gaming PC but Playstation is where it's at for me.

WarThunder4071d ago (Edited 4071d ago )

BF3 has so many low textures resolution, even some gun were unpolished.... Its looks s**t compered to the KZ4 demo.
http://pcmedia.gamespy.com/...

Btw i only play PC and i think KZ4 graphics are on par with PC Crysis 3 graphics (MAX settings on PC)
And thats a pretty impressive achievement.

r214071d ago (Edited 4071d ago )

Take off the blind hate fanboy goggles and see the truth. GG has made a beautiful next gen game running on the PS4 in real time. If you want more proof and need to be convinced that footage was indeed real and not like that concept film of 2005, watch the JF footage and the host and guest bumbling the game around in real time.

Im getting tired of the amount of trolls and fanboys trying to dampen PS fans time to enjoy some PS4 time!

WarThunder4071d ago

IM PC fan! And i think Killzone 4 looks impressive! as good as Crysis 3 on PC on MAX!

R6ex4071d ago

I'm a PC fan, but thinks KZ4 looks better than Crysis 3.

thief4071d ago

“Killzone 2 was awesome”
And KZ4 will be awesome as well. It’s a matter of opinion whether KZ2 looked as good as the trailer, it’s a fact that KZ2 had the best looking graphics by far on consoles when released (maybe even now), a very distinctive gameplay style and an absolutely fabulous multiplayer. All I want is more of the same with KZ4.

plaZeHD4071d ago

KillZone 2 looks incredibly close to the CGI trailer.
The only difference I can see is Anti-Aliasing, special effects effects and character models[polygons/lip syncing]
Here, look at this GameSpot review
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

cyberninja4071d ago

It was demoed live, i mean killzone shadow fall.

SoapShoes4071d ago

@NeverEnding... Get your eyes checked. KZ2 surpassed that video from 2005 in many ways and KZ3 blew it out of the water. Compared to KZ3 that E3 video looks barren with no detail.

aceitman4071d ago

Jimmy Fallon show demoed it last night it is real , jimmy played it and was all over the place.

JetP06194071d ago

here to clear your doubts that it wasnt a staged event and in fact running in real time.

Are we really doubting Guerilla they always continue to blow past our expectations with every new game?
Have we not learned our lesson yet?
LOL.
:D

MadLad4071d ago

There is no question that the new Playstation is going to produce fine visuals. Killzone 4, right out of the gate, shows this.

My only question is, as was with this generation, how long is it going to take for developers to start hitting the resolution and frame rate in order to keep up with the latest games?

Not that I would ever believe that developers wouldn't throw their games on console if the product wouldn't really be up to snuff, but, as far as consoles go, it should be less about graphics and more about fluidity of play and actually having a crisp image. Consoles are really not for graphics.

I just hate the thought of another generation where you watch console versions of games slowly get weaker and weaker.

lovegames7184071d ago

Put it like this and this isnt trolling. Wiiu is supposedly next gen yet couldnt even put a bs simple side scroller like Mario in 1080p native and slowly but surely all the games they claimed would be 1080p native are being made at a lower rez except for one or two simple side scrollers like trine (Smh)Killzone for ps4 is leaps and bounds more hardware taxing then a trine and more sophisticated and it is already confirmed to be 1080p native!!!!1 and its a launch game!!!!

MadLad4071d ago (Edited 4071d ago )

That's all fine and good. Not that I think we have seen the best that the WiiU can put out, but it is obviously not as powerful as the Playstion 4 and will, most definitely, not be as powerful as the new xbox.

Question is, why is that so damning?

Skipping back a generation, Playstation 2 was the weakest of the three consoles and it ended up destroying the competition.

I will always say that graphics don't make gaming. Especially when talking about consoles.

lovegames7184071d ago

Common sense prevails. " Graphics dont make gaming" That comment is so cliche and tiring. We all know graphics dont make a game but with Sony we also know that we dont have to settle for just gameplay but we can have the best of both worlds. Sony destroyed that myth many on here hold onto that you have to sacrifice game play for graphics!!!!! Ive played plenty of good games with solid visuals on my Ps3 so lets cut it out. Lets stop talking common sense bs and talk about whats really going on! Haters trying to downplay Sonys visual leaps and using gameplay as a scapegoat as if to say that Sony games have great visuals but not good gameplay we all know thats a lie. Sony has had these best exclusives this gen.

MadLad4071d ago

Common sense prevails?

You are touting the superiority of the console, as a whole, before the thing is even on store shelves. Talk to me a bit down the road when, I don't know, you can actually back up anything you say with points.
Besides, my "cliche" comment only got that way because, you know, it holds water and there is sense to it.
Also, I am not saying that you can't have good graphics and good gameplay. Let's use some common sense here. You like common sense, if I remember correctly. I was saying, if you actually wanted to show that you grasp what I am saying, that not having top end graphics doesn't damn a console. I used Playstion 2 as an example of that. You like Playstation, if I remember correctly.

Really though. Stop being so defensive.
All three consoles aren't even out yet and you are already crowning your preferred company the winner. A normal person, not driven by bias, would actually wait and see everything that is on offer. Make a choice then. Common sense, right?

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

OtterX39d ago (Edited 39d ago )

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro39d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv7239d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_39d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga39d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm

Infamous 1+2

Profchaos38d ago (Edited 38d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt2338d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball200039d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin39d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole39d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix39d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198939d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor39d ago (Edited 39d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Killzone After a Decade in Hibernation

It's been 10 years since Killzone: Shadow Fall arrived for PlayStation 4 early adopters, and there's no sign of another sequel.

Obscure_Observer153d ago

Sadly it was dumped by Guerrilla to focus on Horizon games only. Mainline, VR and Multiplayer.

Vengeance1138153d ago

lmao sadly? Are you pretending to have actually played the series lol Sorry bud, no Killzone on Xbox.

Cacabunga152d ago

With the downfall of COD and BF, Killzone def. has a chance to make a groundbreaking comeback

152d ago
Notellin152d ago (Edited 152d ago )

What a low-functioning reply here typical of the fanboy N4G community.

Rimeskeem152d ago

“Dumped”

I think it’s called moving on.

Barlos152d ago (Edited 152d ago )

They brought out 4 main games and 2 spin offs: one on PSP and one on Vita. That's a decent run for any series. I also understand that Shadow Fall wasn't a success commercially despite it coming out at PS4 launch, and as a big Killzone fan even I couldn't get into it, so I think Sony/Guerrilla could see it was time to move on.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love another Killzone game in the vein of KZ2 but it's just not happening. Hell, I'd even take a remake or remaster of the first 3 games.

I'd hardly say it was "dumped" though, it spanned 3 console generations and 2 handheld generations.

1Victor152d ago

@obscured:”Sadly it was dumped by Guerrilla to focus on Horizon games only. Mainline, VR and Multiplayer”

Happily it was dumped by Guerrilla to focus on Horizon games only. Mainline, VR and Multiplayer( edited to reflect the writer true feelings and allegiance)
Kill zone was a FPS far ahead of its glitched competitors with nauseating bad camera angles, 10 years old screaming curses like a drunk sailor and bot aiming assist.

ChasterMies152d ago

“Sadly”?

The Horizon games were among the best games of all time. Killzone Shadowfail wasn’t.

Shane Kim151d ago

True, but damn the memories of KZ2 multiplayer. Still no MP as fun as that to this date.

Mr_cheese152d ago

Dumped and shelved are two different things

Tacoboto152d ago

And Sony as a whole dumped the FPS genre so they wouldn't have products competing with COD and (until purchase) Destiny.

GoodGuy09153d ago

I loved the KZ2+3 campaigns and MP in 2. There could be so much more done with the franchise. Horizon although good, I wish they'd go back to this wonderful IP. Take a break from Horizon please.

Flawlessmic152d ago

Agreed dude, I would absolutely love a reboot of the series, one can only hope that either resistance or killzone makes a return.

Have nothing but great memories, especially of the first 3 games, but all 4 were show stoppers graphically.

blackbeld152d ago

To making it a successful reboot they have to change that buttons layout! Make it playable like the cod button layout. Otherwise I’ll skipping it again.

Rynxie152d ago

And that's the reason why many fps games failed. Instead of being original and catering to it's fans, they tried to make it like cod. No, kz doesn't need cod button layout. It needs to be like it was on kz2 or balanced liked kz3.

Lightning77152d ago

I think Kill Zone would do great in Sony's LS push. As well as MAG reboot and bring back Resistance into LS.

Sharky231151d ago

@Lightning77

I think WarHawk would have been a great Live service game.

thorstein152d ago

Killzone games were so polished. The gameplay was just simple joy. MP was one of the best experiences.

I remember KZ3, just staring at how awesome they animated the water and then getting wasted because of it.

P_Bomb152d ago

It’s been a decade? Now I’m sad.

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar343d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz149342d ago

I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.

man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!

Vengeance1138343d ago

32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III

Shane Kim343d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC343d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

Vengeance1138343d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle343d ago

lol you are comparing:

HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)

HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)

We will see if it surpass original number.

Phoenix76343d ago

Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.

I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.

blacktiger342d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca343d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy343d ago (Edited 343d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal343d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright343d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.
