Look at the lighting when they get off the elavater in the second video.

@jwatt: Killzone 2 has the best lighting engine ever made for a console.

You do realize this doesn't take place on earth right? It takes place on Helghast, which may not have mountains and beaches and forrests. This planet is very grey, which is why you haven't seen a bunch of colors. It isn't a futuristic earth though, so you can't expect it to be like one

I really do think the animations in this game are absolutely unmatched,the fluidity of it all is just...Wow.

I never thought they could match the now infamous E3 2005 trailer,but with the way it looks now and having over 5 more months of development,I really do believe Sony and Guerrilla are going to shut up all the naysayers

Rick Astley - 578 days 6 hours ago

I have to be honest here I didn't think they'd be able to get this much out the PS3 so soon but as far the graphics and animations go, Guerilla have officially over-delivered on their promise and things will only get better from here on out. They've got more than enough time to fix any issues they might be having.

Crysis looks amazing but it has that typical PC game look to it. Killzone 2 is bringing a much more cinematic experience.

And the crazy part is they said they have a lot more to improve graphically lol.

Yipee Bog - 577 days 21 hours ago

I haven't seen anything, except crysis, that is in the same ballpark. The textures=great, the lighting=great, frame rate=great. I did originally buy a ps3 for this, seriously. But seeing these videos just, well I don't know what to say. How about awesome.

permutated - 577 days 18 hours ago

Great graphics for sure! But the AI is absolutely awful.

If you stood out (in COD4) the open like he did in the first video, you would have been blown to smithereens, but in this game they don't even notice you. He had 5-10 seconds to pickup a gun, aim, and blowup the bridge.

Ugh, count me out, this game is just a graphics-fest and nothing else.

@ Permutated... I was going to go off and laugh at your ignorance and be a complete jerk just cause... Figured it wouldn't be the best thing to do so here... Put this thought into your head. What you saw, could possibly be on easy easy mode. So there you go.

permutated - 577 days 15 hours ago

Generally a demo shows off impressive updates to AI, when you look at Games like COD4 which has pretty impressive AI vs. games like Gears Of War, which gave the AI more health at harder difficulties (which was really horrid in all honesty), it makes you wonder how many developers cut corners.

About Killzone 2: It makes no difference to me whether or not it was on easy mode, point is that he stood out in the open and no one shot at him for quite some time, that's fairly bad AI, not to mention how many of the enemies stand out from cover or lean out when they're being fired at. Makes no sense, regardless of difficulty setting.

Oh, and my opinion is completely valid about what I don't like about the Killzone 2 demos we've seen, just because you disagree doesn't automatically make your opinion right.

Skizelli - 577 days 13 hours ago

I'd have to agree with permutated. The game looks most impressive, but as I was watching the videos, the AI didn't impress me at all. I was more engrossed in the environments and special effects than the actual combat itself, which seems to be pretty bland. And I do hope that's an easy setting. It's easy to get excited over pretty graphics, but gameplay is what really counts, and the jury is still out on that one. If I really want to nitpick, I could also mention that the voice acting leaves something to be desired. Though, I'm a fan of the original Resident Evil, among other games with horrible voice acting, so I'm willing to overlook this. The animations are really nice, except for that one part where his gun magically appears in his hand after helping his comrade up. No animation for that? It's things like these that can take from the experience (for me).

And I'm in no way putting the game down. These are just a few of my observations as a fan of the FPS genre. My final judgment is still reserved. It just might be a great game. Here's hoping.

fenix1300 - 577 days 7 hours ago

well there was an article a few days back on this site about them enlisting a guy to work on the AI, an AI specialist if you will. plus if you noticed on the vids it said pre alpha code. so don't believe that this represents the final AI. as for now I can honestly agree with you guys about the AI.

particularly since other studios have been hard at work cranking out good and impressive games that are available RIGHT NOW, yet here you are heralding this unreleased game as the second coming.

We all want the game to be d*mn near perfect, but until a hard copy is in your hands, you can't make such a claim.

LinuxGuru - 578 days 5 hours ago

SO you're saying that what I'm watching is my imagination, and doesn't exist at all? Am I imagining the near-perfect framerate, and near-perfect animations and effects, and STUNNING, CGI-quality lighting?

Excuse me, but when alpha footage absolutely destroys any other FINAL products out there, I have every right to make claims as such.

You talk as if you're a developer. Sorry if you're offended or intimidated by Killzone 2. I know it's daunting.

It's ok though, not everyone is as talented as Guerrilla Games.

Agree(9) | Disagree(6) | Report

Genki - 578 days 4 hours ago

Sure, you're WITNESSING all of this stuff, but have you played the final product? Nope. That's all I'm saying. I agree that as of right now, from a graphical standpoint, it looks better than anything out and to be released within the next year or so. The difference between you and I is that I'm not about to go around making bold statements saying that they're better than everyone else.

A key factor that you're conveniently forgetting is that this game is HEAVILY outsourced, and all around the world at that, so Guerrilla aren't the only masterminds behind this. To assume that everything you're seeing is solely Guerrillas talents is foolhardy based upon the information we've all known for um...three year? Where have you been?

If you're talking about from a strictly graphics standpoint, then sure, you can make such a claim...but that's only graphics. We know nothing of story, extras, multi player, or variations in game play. There's way more to a game than graphics.

As far as being offended...pff...don't make me laugh. I've been following this game since it was rumored BEFORE the infamous '05 trailer, whereas you're busting a nut over this footage as if this is the first clip you've ever seen. The difference is that I've got my head secured squarely on my shoulder and am not jumping the gun by making outlandish claims about GG being the best developer on earth. You need a combination of a stellar track record COUPLE WITH compelling upcoming releases. So far, GG has one of those notches.

Anyway...carry on...you're entitled to your opinion, just thought I'd put it out there that there are more factors to deciding the prowess of a company and a game than a simple trailer.

in my opinion it looks like its gonna be great. far more intence than cod4. and im sure you can put it on a higher difficulty making the A.I. more intelligent just like most games. though 007 goldeneye you could control the AI down to the bone. accuracy, reaction speed, the damage they do to you, their health. although controlling the AI isnt so artificial is it.

Your jealousy and anger at the PS3 isn't going to stop the PS3 from selling 100 million in its lifetime and Killzone 2, Resistance 2, MGS4 and LittleBigPlanet be massive critical for the PS3.

Keep yapping your gums. IT'S NOT GONNA CHANGE A THING. Killzone 2 kills EVERYTHING on the Xbox 360 and everyone knows it. Feb 2009 it is coming, this is a preview of a game that isn't even finished...they aren't showing the good stuff yet. Multiplayer, everything is going to be amazing. Feb 2009....it is coming. Your words won't change what everyone knows and sees.
