Most of the killzone 2 engine started development without the Edge tools sony's internal dev teams developed, then continued with incomplete tools.

So imagine if they written a whole new engine now with the full complete EDGE tools, the results would be even more impressive thank to the EDGE tools helping developers assign code the SPU's in a really effecient way.

Can't wait to see what they do next.

it sounds a bit unrealistic but let's hope it is true.
i want their next game to be 3rd person shooter.

Wow that's a very nice upgrade. Just because they're trying to do 5x poly count on character models and environments, doesn't mean that their game will run that high. I'm sure it's just to allow them a ton of more detail at their disposal and if the need to then they have that 5x power there. Again it'll take a lot of processing power to run a game like that and even though we don't know if the PS3 (and I would say the 360 as well) is maxed out, it would still be hard to see a game pumping out an overall experience significantly better than Killzone 2 (Which is easily top 5 this gen so far including PC games).

Now as far as their next game I for one hope it's not a shooter, and if it is I hope it's something more like an Uncharted, MGS, or something to get away from the same old same old. I for one am sick of all these shooters, and I NEED something else to play. An action game like GTA, or a God of War replacement from GG would be much more welcomed to me. Not only would it be running off one of the best game engines, but it would also expand GG diversity adding them to the Insomniac, Naughty Dog, and Sucker Punch group.

Download the interactive KZ2 Bullet commercial on PSN and listen to the commentaries. There you can hear them talking about some of the improvements they already were working on when KZ2 was finished. Somme even made it into the commercial...

Wow.

If they can imporve the textures then that will just be incredible..

Lol and more polys??? There were already an insane amount in their environments XD

But yeah, wow.

I guess this means a new game coming from them?

Sincelt eh engine is already there to be worked on it'll probably take 2/3 years to make anew game, so maybe we'll see something at next years E3...

Not taking it to the farthest extreme like DNF (Duke Nukem Forever), but am I the ONLY person who feels that everyone is putting down the current consoles and what they can do? Just because X console has been out for X amount of time and put out X amount of games does NOT dictate exactly WHAT can be done or how much further each can be pushed. Keep in mind, every time a bad game is made, 80% of that comes from TIME and MONEY. Give a good dev as long as THEY feel is needed on a project with a good amount of money to back up development/production costs, and see what you get. I bet we could get about 90% close to CGI on the current gen if the right people/resources are used. Don't get me wrong, if some company like S-E took all this time and lets FFXIII flop, that just means they didn't use the time and resources right. (On that topic, S-E flip-floping with dates, demos, this and that, has pretty much bitten them in the ass if they don't deliver 100%. Fans on both ends want something great, but with S-E saying one thing and doing another ("FFXIII production will not start on 360 untill PS3 is finished" then showing a demo on a 360 at E3) doesn't give me a WHOLE lot of confidence in them OR their game.)

For KZ2 off the PSN & listen to the commentary, GG already has better looking version of KZ2 up and running.
The commercial actually looks better than the game....
With the EDGE tech being shared in Sony's gaming division, the future will be bright, All Sony needs now is a NFL licence and a new Exclusive Fighter built from the ground up for PS3, now that T6 is multiplat.....

Good god there is not going to be any PS4 in the next two full years for sure. Some of you are hopeless. What could they possibly do. Stick some sort of new nvidia tech in and a new cell chip and sell it for 800 dollars!?

An 8800 series or 9800 would hardly upgrade anything and what 2GB of RAM to just kill any momentum the PS3 has going for it. Yeah, I see a PS4 being talked about in 2013 and released in 2014.

I have absolute faith in them and their next project, regardless of whether if it will be KZ3 or a new IP, i will buy it as long as it isn't a casual game :p

What I wish is that Killzone 2's single player campaign had more levels like the Beachhead map released in the second map pack, the whole Normandy/Omaha beach WWII invasion thing and so on... that map is the best looking map from single OR multiplayer in my opinion.

Maybe some fighting in a few city streets on Vekta or wherever would be awesome in a sequel, skyscrapers and wreckage and so on, maybe in a future map pack they will change it up a bit.

the developers over at guerrilla games are insanely talented, i can't wait to see what their next game will be. Killzone 2's visuals still blow me away when i play it.

Also, think back to 05 when the kz2 video was shown, everyone was saying it was fake and not possible. Well GG pulled it off, so with this update many people will cry fake but i'm sure they'll be able to pull it off. Look at uncharted compared to uncharted 2. (i realize naughty dog is behind uncharted, but my point is that game engines can be improved upon)

I can only imagine how great ps3 games will look towards the end of it's life cycle when developers have unleashed it's full potential.

I'm not getting excited for ANYTHING in the way of technical specs or hype until I see some actual product. Killzone 2 suckered me in with a fake trailer and a whole lotta developer gloating. Then, in 2007, I finally saw game footage at E3 and got to play the game...in late Feb 2009. Yay! And what did I get? An incredible looking game with amazing physics...but downright boring MP and a short campaign that was good, but didn't feel right in terms of scale for the scope of the situation.

Just my two cents. Killzone 2 was solid, but 8/10 solid. Not the AAA experience it was hyped to be. It was a let down in regards to its hype and so this time, I'm waiting for an actual product rather than just going by hype tools.

If GG can make graphics even better than this on a console then they are the best graphical designers ever. KZ2 is awsome in everyway exept how addictive it is.
