Brand new exclusive Killzone 2 gameplay

Here's some as yet unseen gameplay footage of Killzone 2, one of the most exciting upcoming games on the PlayStation 3. Make sure you turn it up loud!

As you'll see from the video this game is shaping up to be an excellent title. We'll have more information on Killzone 2 coming very soon, and obviously more news from E3 as well…

Looks so awesome

[sonarus]

Yes it does but i am hoping GG isn't doing what i think they are doing. Graphically, the game improved significantly since the fist unveiling but blood effects have been toned down. Animations are better but they took out the destructible environments. They replaced the gas tanks that had physics with exploding barrels which is no where near as cool.

I hope they can bring back the destructible environments as it adds an edge to taking cover behind objects. The voice acting and some of the lines i have heard are also really bad. I hope they re do them. I just hope they can get the A.I. and the story right. Usually, when those two are right, everything else tends to follow

[TheExecutive]

took out the destructible environments? watch the video again, when he is mowing down the helghast on the catwalk, entire pillars were falling. it was jaw dropping.

[Kaneda]

Tank cannon is shooting in slow motion or something? :) looks great though...

[PS3ROCKS]

but still awesome

[dhammalama]

This game looks awesome. Can't wait to play it!

[juuken]

Sweet God...this game is shaping up so nicely. O_O

[n4gzz]

this game is showcase. All Fps lover must get this game. Buy PS3 if you don't have one.

[kazuma]

only graphically, gameplay doesn't seem that hot

[juuken]

kazuma, did you forget they have more time to work on that? I'm also hoping Sony doesn't screw this up because if they do, I'm staying faaaaaaaaaaar away from n4g or any other site. I don't think Sony will allow this project to screw up when there's so much anticipation.

[Sir_Ken_Kutaragi]

...Makes a change!!! ;-D
Gameplay looks fun;) Being in that War Zone looks AMAZING!!! ;-P

[n00bzRtehgey]

LMFAO. I REALLY LOVE YOU! YOU'RE LIKE A RETARDED CHILD!!! THERE, THERE.

[Blackmoses]

this game is looking better and better the more time they spend on it.

I'm feeling all warm and tingly inside thinking of playing this one...

[olivia]

one word amazing

[QueefyB]

one word fantastic

[cp68]

it's the leaked one

[THC CELL]

gears of what ? this game has just p!ssed all over it

[GVON]

and it still has 8 months to go

[n00bzRtehgey]

Oh, wait. So does Gears. And Gears 2 didn't take half a decade to make like this did. Only two years. Just imagine how much time that really means it has left :)

dumb droids were owned

[zapass]

i love the pussies who try to trash the gameplay cuz it looks so good.
good try, but no: as we all can see, gameplay is sick too with vehicles and tons of different weapons.

they trashed the trailer saying it couldn't be done in real time, now they're desperately trying to trash anything else and get away with it:

AND THEY FAIL MISERABLY, lol

this games alone dwarfs their entire sh!tty lineup
OWNED!

I'm sorry dude, but what are you talking about?

[thereapersson]

We've already seen this video. I guess people new to this page can have a link to a more reliable source, though...

[Fishy Fingers]

Honestly, I approved it without being able to view the content. It isn't something I would generally do but it had 7 approvals and zero reports, Killzone being such a "followed" title I would of thought it would of been quickly Reported if applicable.

My bad. I appologise.

[thereapersson]

Actually, with any other game I would care a lot more, but since this is KZ 2 and info and media is scarce, it's not so bad.

[PS3n360]

First I have seen of it so I am happy it was repeated. Looks great! the enemy movements look very natural. Kinda in awe at them moment. I hope the story is decent cause it "looks" amazing.

[felidae]

not so impressive.

i think Dead Space looks way more promising.

[thereapersson]

You don't care about this game, so why comment?

edit: also, please tell me how Dead Space and Killzone 2 are directly related? One is a War-based action First Person Shooter, and the other is a Horror action Third Person shooting game. The only thing the two have in common is you can shoot stuff in both games

[zen_fart]

dead space compared with kz2? heck, u may as well say u think spore looks better than it. what a d1ck.

[SL1M DADDY]

Dead Space compared to Killzone 2? LOL

You're really scraping the bottom of the barrel for that fanboy comment aren't you? lol

As for the link, no matter how old it is, Killzone 2 is looking amazing as usual and will prove to be a great looking game.

Ans just for the record, I am also looking forward to Dead Space. Real gamers don't compare two different games and throw out flame bait like idontcare.

[25]

NEGATIVE NANCY!

[Rythrine]

Using a multiplatform game to compare to an exclusive one. What's the matter? Can't find any 360 exclusive good enough lolz

[DoctorXpro]

my ass

[thereapersson]

With the release in February, it will give the developers time to iron out the framerate issues I noticed in the vid. Can't wait for this title!

[pow3r of t3h c3ll]

Xbots this is the ONLY repeat ONLY game that has a chance of matching or beating Call of Duty 4 and guess what?

ITS ONLY ON PS3!!!

Don't waste those tears you are crying right now, use them to cool you 360 before it burns your house down again!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA PS3 FTW!!!!

[QueefyB]

breaking news it has been confirmed the next big flop in video games is none other than too human

[DarkSniper]

Killzone 2 will redefine the First Person Shooting genre in the same way that Doom and Goldeneye 007 did beforehand. The gameplay mechanics look very crisp and detailed due to the fact that it's being exclusively developed on PLAYSTATION®3. This will be clearly one of Sony's biggest contributors in placing the final nail in the coffin of Xbox 360.

$niper

[QueefyB]

darksniper i completely agree killzone 2 will make sure the xbox 360 lays next to hd dvd when it launches i will be at the funeral throwing in the dirt with a shovel

[sak500]

So now we wait till feb 09 or maybe feb 10 to put 360 to rest. Teh judgement day came and went with a whimper in 08. Since ps3 still cudn't take down 360 in 08 so now the focus is for 09. This year it was mgs4 next kz2 which will not unpredictably be flop as well.

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

Will the different angles be in game? That would be be very interesting, you're walking along, and you see the perspective of the helghast as they mow down your men.

[Owner360-PS3]

This game better be AWESOME considering the amount of time they have spent, Feb 2009 feels so far away :(

[zen_fart]

dont bank on it,. look how much time was spent on too human. go play the demo. lol!!!

[badz149]

never fail to amaze me!

[kewlkat007]

now this game must bear a 9.0 or above. The game does look awesome but yet I do not see much in the game play, that sets it apart from COD4 and other FPS's we have come to love,(or hate for some. Sucks I can't play this game tho, hoping there is a DEMO, to try it out.

[Fishy Fingers]

What did CoD4 do so drastically different from other FPS games? Allowing you to create your own character classes?

Personally, what made CoD4 great for me, was they didnt mess with the formula much, they improved graphics, had solid gameplay and made you feel part of something much "bigger" than you really were. Very intense. But it doesnt do anything new as such, it's just natural progression of a tried and tested formula. (oh btw, I do love CoD4)

Killzone has the graphics, we can all see that from the videos. All the hands-on are very promising even at these early stages and GG have made it clear they want to make you feel involved but not integral to these huge battles/fire fights, or in their words "theater of war". I think currently, KZ2 couldnt be in better shape, and I really hope they can deliver on their promise, but hand on heart, I cant see this being anything but great.

Hope we see some multiplayer details this week.

[DEADEND]

I haven't seen a game on a console so far that can match Killzone 2, in fact the only game that looks as good as Killzone 2 is Crysis on very high settings. On top of that the game runs so smooth like COD4 and theres so much going on in the game at the same time you would think there would be slow down but there isn't any. Last year COD4 was the game to set the new FPS standards but when Killzone 2 launches next year it will be the new FPS standard that Dev have to reach. For all the haters out there you better get ready for E3 because come tomorrow Killzone 2 and every other game that comes out on the PS3 will blow you all away and you won't have anything to hate on anymore.

[Says you]

Cause they didn't show the tank that much in the other one its a little bit newer considering the other one was just showing different sections of the level while this one showed more of the tank.

[SickNick85]

i hope they add damage to the buildings...if they do this is a very KA and a really good fps

[Solid_Malone]

yea, i gotta agree with you there, i'm hoping they'll make the environment as destructable as Battlefield Bad Company, cos 2gb of those textures and no destruction is a waste imo.

[jkhan]

There a few new clips here and there, but the video is almost the same one released by 1up. The game looks amazing & the animation system is top notch. I still need to see a video where AI truly stands out.

[n00bzRtehgey]

Did anyone see any gameplay there? All I saw was weak motion blur tech demo graphics with this cumbersome reload animation the team must be so insanely proud of that they feel the need to interrupt gameplay every five seconds to focus every bit of our beings onto it.

BTW, why are they using explosion sound effects from Half-Life ONE in this game? ROFL.

*yawn*

This new Gears 2 footage already looks ten times better graphically, and the gameplay just destroys this, and it's from the measly MP. SP will look and play ten times better.

http://www.gametrailers.com...

That's gotta hurt.

Enjoy your motion blur reload animations, droids! LOL, cuz that's about all Greyzone 2 has going for it right now.

I mean, really, has ANYONE seen a Greyzone video with fun or interesting-looking gameplay in it? If anyone has that, please post it. I want more than a motion blur tech demo.

owned.

[xtreampro]

it will never be possible for a console that uses DVD9-DISCS for storage and a freakin 80's MICROCHIP to do sometihng like KZ2, the CELL can do this because its the future of all gadgets and computers, you know what i'll put out an open challenge for any 360 only developer to remake KZ2 on the xbox360, and better then how it already looks, if the console is as powerful as you xbutt babies claim it to be, then no developer should back down from this challenge, why dont you xbutts use that one left over half dead cell in your head to understand that the xbox360 has been out for 2-3yrs now, and it still hasn't shown a game that is technically and graphically superior then MGS4,KZ2 ans heavy rain

[Howler9443]

Graphically, I think KZ2 simply looks amazing, the gameplay footage looks very promising. I don't think the game will fail due to graphics or sound.

The potential issues I see happening (and I hope they don't) are uninspired level design, lack luster story and missing some polish.

I am really hoping that KZ2 is all that and a bag of chips. GG is really going all out on this title and I think from what I've seen thus far, that it really shows.

I know that I want this game to be great and I really hope that it lives up to the hype and expectations.

[DJ]

Where's all the blood? o_o

[wildcat]

Yeah, they must've toned it down!
Watch how it just gushes [email protected]:30

[sak500]

Man i was thinking my tv turned black and white. Whats with 2 colors and orange explosions? The tank looks like its travelling on crutches. NOt that the actual movement of the player is something to talk about since he moves like a crippled 80year old. I think with this slow a$$ gameplay they hope to make it atleast 5 hours with 2 hours of cutscenes.

Man i just finished BF:BC 2nd time, this time on hard to get more achievements and now this Kz2 slow gameplay looks so weird.

[Isaac]

nobody cares about what you have to say? 123 ignores

[highdro]

its not really an old video.... apart from that i hope sony shows us a really intense level and boss fights at e3. when is sony e3 ?

[tudors]

looks really generic, and the graphics although they do look good never appear to change, I like textures ala COD4, where are all the textures, sorry but based on what I have seen the Xbox-360 could do this easy, Crysis does way more than KZ2, seriously come on do people actually think this looks as good as Crysis, if so then why?

I am not saying that KZ2 will not be impressive but I really think some people cannot see the downsides either.

[Fishy Fingers]

I common mistake I read often on N4G is people comparing console games to Crysis.

KZ2 is running on a £300 machine, Crysis requires you to spend more than that on graphics cards alone to achieve anything close to that which you see in the videos or trailers.

You must realise it's simply stupidity to compare console games and the most demanding, technically advanced PC game ever made.

[pornflakes]

Well, CoD4 looks more realistic. The gameplay in KZ2 looks boring.

Anyways nice game.

[tudors]

because it doesn't.

[DoctorXpro]

I dont like is the AI looks too easy

[DJ]

Though I assume this is because we're looking at the first level, and it's just teaching the player all the intricacies of the gameplay. Killzone 1 got pretty damn hard, so I'm sure they'll do the same here. I want difficult enemies after the first few levels.

[KnightwinG]

the tank cannon sucks...the BLAST should be alot more destructive, alot bigger! looks like a grenade...come on now.

Same with the rocket launcher, the blast has to be bigger and blow shxt up! blast is to small and doll. Graphics are nice! Need more texture, details, ya kno. Like COD4 or Crysis. Gameplay looks good 2.

[heihoosilver]

because they spend most of the budget to make shinning buildings,roads and hi-def textures, they run out of money to buy bigger, better, bad ass weapons and cannons. sarcasm!!!
really i don´t see nothing so superhipermegafuntastic about this game in graphics or gameplay. hope to be wrong because i plan to buy a Ps3 for this game and Resistence 2. And the IA seems prety lame, a guy see a ball of fire come to him and he don´t move aside? That´s why they never win.lol

[Hellsvacancy]

Im not watchin any-more Killzone 2 vids, i was sold when i found out that there makin K2 this just blew me away even further

I did very well not watchin any MGS4 videos it made it worth the wait when i actually played it

PS3FTW WOOT WOOT WOOT

[silverchode]

i hope they add weapon customization.

[wangdiddy82]

Killzone 2 will have a way better story than cod4.. COD4 single player campaine was pretty freaking boring... I play cod4 every day and still havent beat the single player campaigne. just play online which is awesome.

Killzone 2 will be like resistence in away. You play the game for the single player campaigne.. And from the looks of killzone 2, i havent seen any game look this good and have destructable enviroments like it does..

[KnightwinG]

destruction cud be better

[gayboy]

I'm a big FPS fan so this one has me really excited, i't looks so damn realistic( i just hope it has good A.I., if not whats the point)
