Killzone 2's Destructibility Will Shatter Your Jaw

GameXtract writes "Yes I know, you've heard it from just about every gaming media publisher far and wide. Killzone 2 is shaping up to be simply amazing in every aspect, and we know your tired of just hearing it which is why we are going to show you it. While the graphics, lightening system, and animations are breaking new grounds, this article is going to show you the destructibility within the game, and don't blame me if the footage after the jump shatters your jaw. Like I've mentioned instead of going on about how great the game is, I'll let the footage speak for itself.

Side Note: The footage is in gif format, meaning this is your 56K warning. Yes it's too awesome for some users internet connection."

Footage after the jump!

[Mr PS3]

It Will Shatter The BoTs !!!!!!
And That Heap of junk they Call a Console

[Jok3r]

Just like Lair?, just like Uncharted?, just like MGS4?, just like Resistance 2?, just like LBP?
oh wait....;D

[elorm9]

But the other games you mentioned weren't. MGS4 was a masterpiece

[Gue1]

Uncharted, MGS4, Resistance 2 are really awesome games that helped greatly the game library of the PS3 but against a console that cost less than half the price (200 vs 500), it's pretty difficult to shatter anything.

BTW at that price and it's not doing that good anyway. That's a shame. You know something is a failure when a product cost less than half of the price of its competitors and sales are about the same. ;-)

[dukadork]

it is delicious to see you so jealous and secretly envious, this games makes gears2 look like a PS1 game

BWAAAAAAAAA HA HA HA HA HA!

What a GENIUS GOD Ken Kutaragi is!!!;)

[GiantEnemyLobster]

Thats pretty funny. I seem to remember a little game called Battlefield Bad Company having much greater destructable environments than this. Wow! you can blow the plaster off walls!! Well I guess thats next gen for SONY standards, LOL!!!

[Atomic]

Actually, Battlefield:BC destructibility is not even in the same league as Killzone 2's, Battlefield:BC uses scripted destructibility that is not affected by physics, for example, no matter how many times you blow up a particular wall, it will always destruct the exact same way everytime, and the amount of particles(fragments ,dust) is not even a 1/10 of the amount in Killzone2.

now, stop talking about sh!t you don't even understand.

[Antan]

And to think Gamespot said theres no destructability!

[shingo]

Guys, I know this is ridiculous but do you know that the falling apart debris pieces cast real shadow on the floor AS they fall apart? Do you know that the smoke effect of an explosion blocks the sunlight from your way for certain seconds? And you should see how the shadow of a player is reflected on the wall behind him as a result of the light caused by the gun he's firing. All this is in MP. In-game.

'tis the mother of all FPS's.

[thor]

I don't think the destructibility is going to be tremendous compared to what we've seen before. The presentation of it, sure, it will look fantastic when things crumble to the ground etc. - but most things will not be destructible and there will only be the odd pillar placed here and there that will be (as far as I can see).

Not to mention the spelling/grammar mistakes in that article are pretty bad...

[Rock Bottom]

Yet Traveler was defending gamespot for what they said and running around calling PS3fanboys fanboys... Oh, wait...

Anyway I just hope he would see this. >_>

[The Matrix]

No pun intended in the title I hope.

[Socom]

PS3 is simply the most powerful console there is. The Cell processor is 20 times more powerful than the Xenon processor.

There is a reason why the PS3 is the ultimate in multi media such as gaming, movies, music and storage.

Killzone 2 will rock.

[jspc1989]

''the cell is 20 times more powerful than the xenon" - that one literally made me laugh, havent heard an argument as blind as that in quite a long time.

Although yes, killzone will be awesomeness in its purest form :-) - most definately cannot wait to play it.

[hay]

Wow, all this work they put into this... I hope this is some major breakthrough in shooter design. I dream about fully destructible environments in really immersive game.

[The Lazy One]

many times more impressed by DMM from lucasarts than this.

If this weren't in response to frostbite, DMM, or the extra destructibility in the unreal engine it would be a lot cooler. It does look beautiful, but they're showing up late to the party.

Also, no this is not only possible on the PS3. Look at the unreal destruction demo, it's practically the same, then look at DMM, which runs on both platforms and blows both of them out of the water.

[Danja]

your enthusiasm never ceases to amaze me...

damn im pissed im not in the Beta...:(

[rareairtone]

They probably meant that there wasn't enough destructibility for mentioning. The way they see it, if things are going to be destructible, they need to go all the way with it. I notice that the floors don't get affected by whatever you do. they're judging it a bit too hard, but I see where they are coming from.

I as well would like to see more than the walls falling apart though...

[Ryo-Hazuki]

Yeah Gamespot said the environments are static with no movable objects....LMAO Im in the beta, and after reading that so called hands on from gamespot, he just flat out lied with that statement. I sent the author a nasty message last night.

[Panthers]

You are talking about a demo specifically to show off destructibility, not a full game with multiplayer and singleplayer with graphics as impressive as Killzone.

[HowarthsNJ]

From this:

"Killzone 2 has a distinctive look to it, but the multiplayer maps don't really give the engine much chance to show off. There are lens flare effects and the weapons have plenty of detail to them, but there are certainly no physics-based money shots such as deformable scenery or movable objects."

To this:

"Killzone 2 has a distinctive look to it, but the multiplayer maps don't really give the engine much chance to show off. There are lens flare effects and the weapons have plenty of detail to them, but the environments are very static with no movable objects or vehicles."

[MNicholas]

when the ground is destructible, not just the objects standing on it.

Having said that ... I actually agree with the all the journalists that that this looks far better than anything else. The depth of realism goes beyond high res textures and lighting to the intereactivity. As I said earlier, the one glaring flaw is that the floor doesnt appear to be destructible.

[psnDevistator356]

that after killzone 2 other sony first party studios will benefit as well by applying this engine to new ips.

[Kain81]

if they had one^^
Objective Journalism is dead, many of them are not independent

[dj_funky]

KZ2 showing the ps3 power to the fullest soon.

omg at that last GIF pic..

[Hellsvacancy]

I also bought it for the next Hitman game whch im painstakingly waiting for

But the time will soon come when ill b able to look up at may game collectiojn and they'll both b there - Good times

But then ill hav to wait for Killzone 3 and Hitman 6 - Bad times

[Honeal2g]

This is it, Confirmed i am buy my PS3+this game Day one. O man i'm craving this game and White Knight Chronicles/Story?

anyone know if the ps3 will get a price cut...or what my options will be when this game comes out?

[bee2427]

If you get a sony credit card, which isnt really that big of a deal, then you get $150 off now i believe, it used to be 100 but i think they upped it

[MiloGarret]

This is NOT the reason why I bought my PS3 (that would be gow3 thankyouverymuch), but my interest is peaking... That does look impressive, I hope it affects gameplay somehow and isn't just cosmetical.

[Fishy Fingers]

Technically, so far ahead of the bunch. GG have excelled themselves.

[T_O87]

Totally Agree , GG as far as i know are the best devs this generation
the things they are pulling with KZ 2 are unbelievable

[thor]

Where are the gifs that depict what happens when you throw a grenade at the other 99% of the level? (i.e. no destruction at all)

Still, I am very impressed with how it looks when something IS destructible. Considering I didn't believe destructibility was in the MP at all, this is impressive.

[remanutd55]

yes they are way ahead of the bunch, while i agree that insomniac, naughty dog and kojima production are among the best developers on the ps3 i think GG are way ahead of them but after played killzone2 online beta and find out its way better than cod4 and r2 online multiplayers (it is really hard to get back to those games once you played killzone2 beta) im extremely curious to see what santa monica studios will be bringing to the table (you see i rate them very high when it comes to playstation hardware knowledge ) having said that im really dying to see gow3 gameplay i think it will be absolutely AMAZING

[ReTarDedFisHy]

I take it you aren't in the beta?

[Doctor Strange]

If I'm right each grenade you throw does have its own little hole in the ground or if your near a something like those pillars its bring tons of rubble down.

I just remember throwing a grenade across the level at some guy hiding behind some pillars and when it exploded debris from the wall and pillars came raining down, that moment Wow'ed the hell out of me. You really have to see it in action and trust me I think it will impress anyone.

[DaChinPin]

I agree that GG is ONE of the best developers this generation along with Kojima Productions, Bungie, and Insomniac. The best developer might be Team ICO though...I mean they've got not one but TWO major games for the PS3.

[TheExecutive]

welcome to the GAF forums...

[f789790]

I have DSL and the page is loading like its dial up.

[Ryangp]

Ha ha ha ha...Trumpets!

[Radiodread]

from 360 to ps3. The ps3 has soo much damn potential its amazing now after owning one. When xbox reaches 720 there'll still be the ps3 pumpin out stellar games that are on par or better. Owning a ps3 will be a lot cheaper in the end, but the experience will be far more richer.

[Foxgod]

on par or better then the xbox 720 ?

what are you smoking man, ps3 and xbox 360 games look identical, its obviously the 720 will outrun its predecessors.

[NickIni]

Yes, multiplatforms look the same. But show me a game on the 360 that looks anywhere near as good as this?

[pavarotti]

show me any game on the 360 that has been in development for as long or has had as much cash thrown at it??????? none have! with the consoles havong pretty much the same specs, NO ONE ON THIS HERE SITE KNOWS IF IT COULD BE DONE OR NOT....especially know nothing fanboys. although multi-discs would be needed for the 360 version me thinks.

anyway, killzone2 is looking incredible graphically! and the mp beta shows the gameplay is good aswell. this is the game that i will be getting the ps3 for(r2 also). not long now! cant wait...

edit below: lol great comeback. the story and idea had been toyed with for that long, not the game! lol i did'nt realise developers have had dev kits for the 360 since 98, and they were in they're posession long before the original xbox!

try again please.

second edit @ quackpot. you have the right name me thinks! man the theorys fanboys come up with.

[NickIni]

Uhh. Too Human?

10 year development, that's twice that of Killzone 2, and likely had a similar amount of cash injected.

[QuackPot]

@Nickini

I have a sneaking suspicion that developers of multi-platform games are now deliberately NOT USING THE PS3's FULL POTENTIAL so that the games are the same on the next-gen consoles.

If the Ps3 version of a multiplat game is a whole lot better then the competition then that developer would likely get reduced sales for the xbox 360 version.

Makes sound business sense to keep them the same but it's f*ckn annoying with the fanboys refusing to accept the power of the Black Beast because the games are the same.

Of course, First party developers don't have that concern....

[ultimolu]

...O_O

Is that you?

Lol @ FoxGod. This game is incredible. I'm sorry but if you were in the beta, your jaw would disconnect and hit the floor.

Sony may have made mistakes but they're quickly making up for them.

This game is unreal.

[NickIni]

"edit below: lol great comeback. the story and idea had been toyed with for that long, not the game! lol i did'nt realise developers have had dev kits for the 360 since 98, and they were in they're posession long before the original xbox!"

Mhmm. But firstly, with a ten year development it would have got a lot of cash thrown into it. With that long in development already, the developers/MS would have wanted to make the game as good as possible, so chances are it would have been in development on the 360 since before the public release of the console (ie early 2005ish) which means it has been developed on the 360 for about four years. A similar amount to KZ2.

[Cenobia]

So your argument is that MS doesn't have any developers willing to put the time and energy into making a game that looks this good?

If a console has the capability, but it can't be realized, then what's the difference?

[doshey]

wow my jaw did drop god why cant i just have the beta

[GameDev]

want to be in the BETA, I want the full experience of a finished game the first time. Im sure playing in the BETA for 3 months will wear off some of the excitement when the game finally releases.

[Premonition]

One other detail i like in multiplayer is when the powder from the grenade is released it blows where ever the wind is directed.

[Gue1]

what!? that's true?
if that's true then Guerrilla has put a lot of attention to details and that's awesome!

[Premonition]

Yep, remember a few months ago Guerrilla said the weather would play a part in Killzone 2 online, well thats part of it :)

[Daz]

its just shows pillers and cover :P but the way they braek its graet you can tell they spent alot of time, money and effort into this game.

cant wait.

[Meus Renaissance]

But Gamespot says there is none of this?

[Fishy Fingers]

I didn't think their impressions were that bad over all, but throwing that in at the end. Seemed like they were deperate to leave the reader with a negative conclusion.

Cheap shot for sure.

[gdguide]

That Gamespot preview was retarded. The guy basically said "nothing destructable or interactive BUT the audio was good". He put a "but" in there like the visuals were just so so with nothing going on. That guy should be fired. That was one of the most biased previews I've read so far. Especially when showing this stuff off that's being shown by people who are in the beta.

[KARMA2009]

because Gamespot favor the 360 like most websites,because were in the USA(360 HOME TURF).

[elorm9]

Though the destructibility is great, you don't really notice it that much when you're under heavy fire.

[Socom]

After KZ2, GT5, MGS4 and more games of this caliber, all other games will look technically subpar compared to it.

I call it the [killzone 2/ gt5/ mg4]- effect.

Its like Blu Ray, there is no going back. Because Blu Ray changed things. Forever.

You might hang on to DVD for dear life. But once people upgrade to HD TV and witness the unmatched sharpness and clearity of Blu Ray, they will never want to go back.

Such is the same with the PS3 exclusives. Its hard to be impressed once you have seen MGS4s epic ending. Its hard going back to subpar games once you have seen real life like graphics.

[BananaSlug]

destructibility is one of those things when people do have it, some people don't care about it, but when people don't have it, some people complain

i am definitely glad to have it

[hay]

We can call it the Awesomeness Effect! ; p

@BananaSlug: Please accept this bubble as tribute to your nickname. BananaSlug, lol :D

[Figboy]

i agree. it's really something that you only notice when watching someone ELSE play the beta, or in stories like this.

it's more of a subliminal reinforcement of the reality of the world when you're playing the game yourself.

when i'm playing, i really DON'T have time to think about the fancy particles and explosions, as i'm too busy trying to keep bullets out of my ass, but i KNOW that if those elements weren't there, i'd probably feel that something was "off" about the environments, even if i couldn't quite put my finger on it.

something you DO notice, about the immersiveness of the levels, that could help draw your attention to the destructability, is that when a explosion or something DOES go off, and starts knocking things about, it kicks up a lot of dust and debris, obscuring your vision. this causes you to pull back, and wait for the smoke to clear before pressing forward. it's very realistic, because you literally can't see what's coming at you when it it happens.

like Kojima and the MGS series, it's the little details that add up to the big differences between it, and other games in it's genre. Splinter Cell is a great series, but it lacks those little details (like in MGS2, you could shoot the buckets of ice on the counter, and they would spill it's contents, and the ice would literally MELT over time, like it would in the real world. it's COMPLETELY irrelevant to the gameplay, but it totally SELLS the immersion of the environment adn world). Killzone 2, so far, has shown a wonderful attention to detail in the beta. like muzzle flashing casting shadows, swaying power lines, dust and debris swirling around the streets, etc.

i don't see how anyone can walk away from playing Killzone 2 and NOT be impressed by it's technical prowess. it really DOES come 90% close to the target render. and in some ways, it EXCEEDS it.

[remanutd55]

we were playing against each other yesterday i think it was and i saw your name (you were playing as helghan) and i got you right in the face with my shotgun (im playing as an engineer trying to unlock the second ability) and i could swear i heard you cursing at me lol but i gotta say you got me back lol, listen i have resistance2, call of duty4 and unreal tournament 3 but after i experienced killzone2 beta im having a hard time trying to go back to those games, you think gow3 will use killzone's engine? im gonna be honest here i wasnt too excited about killzone2 but after the beta im really impressed , i cant stop playing it.

[Figboy]

i'm pretty sure i probably did curse you! lol.

for me, Resistance 2 is so different from Killzone 2 that it hasn't been hard for me to go between the two.

the gameplay is just so totally different.

i think it's easier for me to be a Medic in Resistance than in Killzone 2, but it's mostly because my teammates tend to have a death wish in KZ2, and go blindly flying into danger where they die before i can give them health packs. lol.

we'll have to get together and play some KZ2 or R2. i'll probably be on one or the other when i get home in about an hour or so. most likely Killzone, since i still have no idea when the beta ends, and want to get my fix as much as possible. i may switch to Resistance 2 later on tonight, as i really want to level up my Medic, but i've been playing as a Spec Ops so much because when i team up, there is usually an abundance of Medics and Soldiers, but never enough Spec Ops to support the soldier. i LIKE the Spec Ops, so i don't mind, but then again, i like all three classes (though the Soldier the least).

[Foxgod]

everybody raise your hand if your in the beta.

[DJ]

And it's AWESOME

[Rock Bottom]

*Raises finger out of jealousy for not being in the beta*

[Gue1]

how can i get into the freaking beta!? i need help! please! ;-p

[RPG Guy]

I don't play R2 anymore. KZ2 beta embarrasses it.

[Doctor Strange]

I'll toss my hand up too :)

[hay]

I wish I could raise my hand in this topic :(. No, I'm not crippled, just not in beta... Killzone2 is intriguing me as hell...

[devilhunterx]

(raise hand)

[Figboy]

i'm in the beta, and i could have sworn my friend who came over to try it out was playing against sonarus the other night. that was his screenname, but i didn't get to send him a message to find out.

[Radiodread]

You know that's why I jumped ships in the first place. PSN might have a sh!tty MIC communication between players that live doesn't have, but the ps3 has amazing first party titles that shatter everything 360. After owning a 360 since launch and owning every 360 exclusive until now, I can confidently say that the only good games on 360 are Gears and Halo. Those two games will be milllked to death because that's all M$ has on the table. Fable 2 SUCKED hard heavenly sword's campaign was longer than Fable 2's. Anyone who has played Fable 2 knows what I mean. BIG LETDOWN. I can see by the reviews that Gears 2 isn't any longer than the first anyway, and the new online matchmaking system sucks as well as the disconnecting of players from CO-OP. I've played the games and I have put my faith in 360 long enough. Now it's ps3's turn to reign.

[IzKyD1331]

"PSN might have a sh!tty MIC communication between players that live doesn't have"

the playstation official headset fixes that

[ultimolu]

Don't worry, things will get better but I still can't believe you said that...O-o

[Radiodread]

I got nothing against the dutch, hell they've had great game companies out there even before Guerilla. AND AMSTERDAMN FTW. A stoner/gamers/sex addicts paradise.

what more could you want?

[Foxgod]

our coffee shops will be closed next year thought.
Weed will become illegal, because of european laws that are being integrated now after being part of the EU for a bunch of years now.

Also the red light destrict has shrunk by 50 %

instead of all the crap we started to make video games :), Overlord was awesome too (also dutch).

[doshey]

aw wtf how gay is that

[Foxgod]

Euro laws, France and Germany are the big players in the Euro union, so they decide the way things roll.

[Karum]

Just another reason to hate France imo

[yanikins111]

oh because one country telling another what to do has ALWAYS worked well.
/sarcasm

[BigKev45]

It shattered my jaw.

[Aclay]

It's games like Killzone 2 that are only possible on the PS3 whenever developers really exploit the PS3's hardware. The majority of these 3rd party developers are still Pu$$yfooting around with the PS3's hardware and are barely scratching the surface.

There's so many little details in Killzone 2 that really just make it stand out above many other FPS out there and I see why it's taken so long to make this game.

I can really see a lot of Xbox 360 fans or people that only have Xbox 360's to jump ship to PS3 after the release of Killzone 2 because I've already seen a few Xbox 360 only owners in this thread mention it.

[pavarotti]

obviously you're a developer with extensive experience of both consoles, if you know it's only possible on the ps3!! can you kindly share with us which multi-platform games you've worked on? so everyone knows your credentials, and that you're knowledgable enough to make such statements.

many thanks!!

if not, please be quiet! with your name and post history, it's obvious your just a fanboy.

[ultimolu]

A fanboy shouldn't throw the word fanboy.

Anyone with a brain could see that this game is going to be awesome when it comes out.

[rebirthofcaos]

some1 can create a gif where when they destroy the wall it destroy too a rrrod 180?

[Death]

Killzone 2 looks like it will be an amazing game when it hits store shelves.

-Death

[hay]

You haven't took me Death when you had your chance! I don't like you anymore :(

First day buy for me. And it'll be only first quarter of 2009. If no delays occur.

[QuackPot]

From a fan of Killzone(Ps2) and avid critic. GG have fixed everything wrong with the first game.

But as a diehard fan of Warhawk - the only game I routinely play and never tire of - bring on the vehicles!!

Many gamers' fantasies will come true if Killzone(Ps3) had a multitude of vehicles fully usuable in SP & MP modes. Think about that also Insomniac with Resistance 3 as well as the destructibility thing.

- Quack

[Tony600]

In my opinion,this game looks boring!The colours are poorly made.Generic shooter in the second world war setting...boooooooooring!

[Junse]

second world war????

[ReTarDedFisHy]

"second world war setting"
Shows how much you know about this game.
"colours are poorly made"
Made? What? You mean going with a realistic color palette? On a harsh and unforgiving planet that is Helghan? It's meant to be that way.
"Generic shooter"
I lol'd. The term "generic" gets thrown around a lot by idiots these days that don't know how else to explain themselves. Every other FPS that was made, and is going to be made will all be "generic". You can't reinvent FPS. You run, shoot, duck/hide, cover, nade, watch explosion, continue, repeat. Throw in an epic story and you suddenly have a "generic" shooter. Please.

[Foxgod]

Sony fans claim the same BS about GeOw2

[LinuxGuru]

It's all art direction. That determines whether a chosen color palette looks good in a particular game or not.

[ultimolu]

Did you play it?
Are you in the beta?

Then drink a bottle of Failerade and stfu because this game will terminate your 360 lineup.

[Traveler]

Killzone 2 looks good, but this is what I hate: stupid morons that totally devalue the Xbox 360's lineup just because they are getting all hyped up about a game they haven't even played (even the beta testers haven't played most of the game).

I'll tell you this right now: Killzone 2 could end up being amazing and getting 9's and Gears 2 would still be right there competing neck and neck. Many of you guys simply don't know how good Gears 2 is. It's freaking amazing. I think Killzone 2 is going to be amazing too. I just think this attitude that it is a million times better than anything else is just silly.

[deadie]

ehrm...???? Fact is, if you think KZ2 looks bad and generic youre basically saying that every other game looks like crap.

Open your little denying eyes and smell the coffee!

[Kush_Reaper]

LOL what a reject. WW2 setting? lol but seriously its ok to cry. Sh!t i would be too if the enemy has 1 game that makes my whole game library look like a nintendo games.

PLAY BEYOND NOT BEHIND

[Tony600]

Graphics is good but I am sure that God of War 3 will have better graphic,gameplay,story,epicnes s etc. than Killzone 2!

[Foxgod]

quick, use your crystal ball to tell me if i will ever have sex with an alien.

And what is God of war 3 like ?????

[Kush_Reaper]

Hey its all good as long as its on the ps3. Yay to only 256mbs of ram lol.

end sarcasim

PLAY BEYOND NOT BEHIND

[nycredude]

Are you in the beta? If not the STFU already! Jeesh no one cares. Fact is this sh*t is head and shoulders above anything else right now so go troll somewhere else.

[Mikelarry]

SCEE for not picking me for the beta. but yeah this game seems like its gonna be good. i wanna try it out before i decide to get it as i have never played any of the franchise.

[tk]

Must be in reaction to that other insignificant site who troll for traffic with the biased reviews.

[Foxgod]

First shooter on PS3 that will be just as good looking as GeOW2

[Traveler]

Yep, Gears 2 does some things better (like textures) and Killzone 2 does other things better (like lighting). I've gone back and forth watching HD videos of both games and it is hard to say which one looks better. It really depends on which aspect you are looking at. Sometimes I felt Gears 2 looked better and other times I felt Killzone 2 looked better.

[achira]

hahaha, kz2 pisses on geow2, you know it looser.

[Shane Kim]

Traveler get back to bed child. KZ2 takes a nice, hot dump all over Gears 2.

[tk]

Just looked at this bunch of items... they really went about destroying the environment...

Now this is the kind of things that absolutely destroy a site like Gamespot's credibility - or what is left of it. Anyone who has seen any bit of KZ2 now knows... Gamespot writes their reviews before opening the box. They tried in every way possible to downplay KZ2 while not sounding too biased - but they picked on the one thing where KZ2 actually seem to destroy any other game out there - which is of course the destructibility of the environment. Gamespot - hope you made good advertising money - you are going to need it.

[Tony600]

This is the second world war setting but with aliens!I have seen a trailer about the Helghans,the Helghan General spoke with the rolling "R" like German ***** you retard.Sorry for my english!I am Italian but I live in Germany so my english isnt perfect you retard!

[Foxgod]

you are right about this one :).

I geuss fishy didnt even play killzone on the ps2 or psp, hes just hyped with his own fanboyism.

[ReTarDedFisHy]

I've never played Kz1 or Kz PSP?
I laugh at you guys and your moronic outcries.

WWII with ALIENS? ALIENS???
WTF? Don't you mean human colonists??? If you knew one thing about this game, I'd take you seriously.
And you too Foxgod. You haven't played it either. Am I the only one that played both games? And played the beta? Please.

And YES, the Helghast are a direct reference to Nazi Germany, especially in Killzone 1's Scolar Visari's speech in the intro. Other than that, this isn't WWII, this is Killzone for crying out loud. This isn't the late 1930's/early 40's.

Ahaha, keep calling me retard, hope it makes the burning rage go away from being wrong. And Foxgod, I don't even know what to say to you, it's idiots like you that make outrageous claims and the fact is that you don't even know what the hell you're talking about. I hope knowing that GeoW 2 looks worse than Killzone 2 makes you sleep better at night. Keep claiming otherwise, I hope it makes you feel better so you won't act like a total douche.

I know more about the Helghast than both of your guys' knowledge combined on it, or lack thereof.

KZ2 is one of my most anticipated titles. But I think the real story of KZ2 is the wonderful engine they created for the PS3. I would imagine most first party games will be using this tweaking it as they go along. To me, the possibilities are mind boggling.

[Rock Bottom]

Knowing GG are sharing resources with Santa Monica studios, I can't wait to see what will GoW3 look like.

[Tony600]

Who cares?I dont care about this game,IN MY OPINION this game looks boring!In my opinion,I have said ,you retard.Is it the best game like LittleBigPlanet was supposed to be?But fanboys like you are blind like fishes!It fits perfectly with your username:Retardfishy!

[Tony600]

Before you say that I dont own a ps3,I own two Ps3 40GB.

[mettalhead70]

If you think Killzone 2 looks impressive just wait for Heavy rain.

[LinuxGuru]

Heavy Rain has small environments and static set pieces that trigger push-button sequences that are all scripted to death. I'm not too sure it will be nearly as epic as Killzone 2.

Oh, and no other game in existence has a lighting engine as capable as Killzone 2. It b|tchslaps anything you've ever seen, in that regard. Lighting is very important, because lighting dictates how we see and perceive things in-game.

I'll take lighting and animation and effects over incredible-looking faces (which Killzone 2 has already), any day.

[Figboy]

and since you've played it, you know EXACTLY how much QTE is used in the game?

please, do tell!

most developers have a certain style to their games, regardless of the genre of the game. you can tell a Rockstar game, whether it's GTA, The Warriors, Midnight Club, or even Rockstar Table Tennis, because the developer has a distinct style.

you can even tell an Insomniac game, because of particular design aesthetics they use throughout ALL of their titles.

if you've played any of Quantic Dream's other games, in particular Indigo Prophecy, then you have a base idea of what the gameplay Heavy Rain will be like, being as how they are in similar genres (kind of a "suspense/adventure" genre). Indigo Prophecy was relatively light on QTEs.

while i agree that the backdrops may be smaller in scale to Killzone 2, it's already been stated that the ENTIRETY of the environments in Heavy Rain will be interactive. like in the demo they showed off this fall, when you are in the killer's house, you can root through his drawers, sit on his couch, even dig around in his fridge, looking for clues. not, it's not a blast a thon like KZ2, but the graphics are no less jaw-dropping, even if it's a different type of jaw-dropping.

you don't KNOW, with any certainty, what the gameplay of Heavy Rain will be like, and whether it's good or bad, just like I DON'T. with that being the case, it's pointless to make wild declarations that this is what Heavy Rain is (according to you, "Heavy Rain has small environments and static set pieces that trigger push-button sequences that are all scripted to death.")

we simply don't know what that gameplay will be. and it probably WON'T be as epic in scope as Killzone 2 (hell, why WOULD IT? one is a large scale war game, the other a murder mystery? how many EPIC murder mysteries have YOU seen? not many, i'm sure. i don't even know what an epic murder mystery would be). the only thing we have to base Heavy Rain on is Indigo Prophecy and Quantic Dream's other games, and what we've seen of Heavy Rain (i watched a 22 minute video of the game in action, and it was quite impressive).

[LinuxGuru]

Don't get me wrong, I am going to drool over Killzone 2, but destructibility is not this game's strength (even though the limited amount that is there looks good....it's not functional or game-affecting at all).

If you want a game where that is the main course served on the table, then you'll be wanting to look forward to Red Faction: Guerrilla.

[mettalhead70]

I'm not saying killzone 2 doesn't look amazing because it looks crazy but if you have seen the live demo for heavy rain then to me heavy rain looks even better especially for it's facial animations, it's the way the story is played out that impresses me but that's not about graphics.Killzone 2's destruction looks crazy and if that works for the whole game then my jaw will hit the floor.It probably doesn't really matter how good heavy rain looks because it probably won't be out until 2010 anyway.February will be a great month.

[OGharryjoysticks]

I've known for quite some time that the levels of detail to the physics of each object is mind-blowing. For video games in general Killzone 2 is the closest you can get to reality.

[LinuxGuru]

Killzone 2's physics are not on par with the new Red Faction. Have you even bothered to watch the Destruction trailers for RF: G?

[I_am_rushin]

You do realize this is the MP right?

You know where everything is TONED DOWN to make it network accesible.

[etownone]

I went to check out that game Red Faction, and your right, although the graphics in KZ2 are much much better.

Red Faction has been developed based entirely on creating the most realistic physics and destruction.

Here check it out for yourselves.
http://www.gametrailers.com...

[OGharryjoysticks]

I watched the E3 footage etownone posted but the destuction in Red Faction looks very similar to the Bad Company game from EA. Sure there are physics involved, but they are focused on large scale destruction. I've seen footage from Killzone 2 where the player shot a metal barrel that was on the ground and it reacted with weight and looked believable unlike anything I've seen in video games. That was just a barrel. It's one thing to have explosions, but showing an actual sense of weight is another. Also if you have played the beta for KZ2, you would have noticed that everything has weight so your player has it, his gun has a sense of it, and so on and so forth. I hope Red Faction turns out to be a fun game, but it's not the same. For example, in Red Faction when the building crumbled the stuff surrounding the building didn't even move and I wasn't impressed.

[LinuxGuru]

Well, your disagree is unfounded. Red Faction uses a real-world physics system.

It is small scale, and large scale. You can pick apart a building's support structure and then watch it collapse under its own weight. Everything in Red Faction is made to have real-world properties and weight and is designed to succumb to gravity when it should...such as when it doesn't have adequate support in a certain part of the structure that would be critical for it to remain standing.

Red Faction's physics system far outstrips anything Killzone achieves, on any sort of scale.

You can't argue against that. It's fact. The Red Faction GeoMod engine has unmatched small-scale and large-scale FULL destruction that is only equaled by...well...not much except one other engine (mentioned below), and real life itself.

The only thing that is as good as GeoMod is DMM (www.pixeluxentertainment.com) , but DMM takes absolutely massive amounts of real-time calculations. You'll only see DMM in small-scale on consoles (Star Wars: TFU, and the upcoming Indiana Jones title) because of how intensive it is. Also, getting DMM to play well with other aspects of a game's engine is extremely difficult. Just ask Lucasarts, they'll tell ya.

[Kain81]

have you seen the singleplayer destruction video for KILLZONE2,
yes that was a Prealpha status. do you remember where the hole building collapsed after some bombs that was prealpa too. wait for the real thing and than we can make comparsions agains RED-FACTION.
But i would no high hopes for RED FACTION after seeing the pre alpha footage of KILLZONE2

[etownone]

This game is looking fvcking amazing!!

[Nikkelz]

do you even notice that the game has weight???
the guy runs with weight like he feels heavy under all that armor and weaponry that he is carrying,thats real world physics for that a$$,imagin having to wear a suit that is 80lbs and then guns and bullets and grenades on top of that,guerrilla games baby

game on

[Chrissy]

Ugh. I've seen better fake physics in Stranglehold.

[zonetrooper5]

It looks great but I've seen it before, I really want a FPS or TPS to have real destructible environments and not just pillars being shattered.

[aiphanes]

This game blows away all other FPS games...and I mean all of them....R2 is not second....

Do not be a hater.....Killzone 2 will rule them all.

This is what Halo 3 was suppose to be like.....

[etownone]

Don't be a hater?

I'm sorry but have you played the final version of the game to say it will "rule them all"? hahaha

c'mon now KID, you sound like such a little fanboy.

Remember all the hype about LBP, and how people played the beta and said it would a system seller because it was so amazing?
and you see how that turned out

and Halo 3 is almost at 9 million sold, so PLEASE stop comparing this game to Halo. It seems like every Sonyfan is waiting and hoping for their own Halo Killer... it's not going to happen.

[QuackPot]

^^he wasn't hating @etownone.

Your rant was ridiculous you idiot fanboy.

Are you in the Beta per chance...and overwhelmingly found it better than COD4....which is undeniably the King of console shooters....and accepted as better than Halo? Then STFU.

BTW. My favourite shooters are Halo and Warhawk & I do have and am playing GeoW2. No fanboy here mister.

[baodeus]

I think crytek engine is probably still the best. Just one minor problem, it is way ahead of it times.

Nonetheless, KZ2 does look very impressive. I love destruction in games. Have anyone ever play Phantom Dust (old xbox game). Man that was probably the best game period.

[xplosneer]

from people in the beta.
How destructible is the environment? Is practically everything able to be blown up or changed, or is it just a small percentage? I'd like to get a straight answer, because I really don't know.

[sephy 9 2 5]

destructible. Chunks cast their own shadows.

[Stressa]

where is the color in this game,it looks bland.

[Kyur4ThePain]

"Because it's a great big white world and we are drained of our colors"
- MM

Thanks for coming.

[OGharryjoysticks]

Let's start complaining about Fallout 3 while we're at it :)

[Kyur4ThePain]

PLEASE make this game engine available to everyone.

[Stressa]

We(Sony),use the RSX and it's not good enough to produce good coloring" Just look at most PS3 games,they all look grey....resistance anyone? Go away MAC boy,obviously you know little when it comes to video games,go and play some games on that MAC of yours and see how well that runs.

[Kyur4ThePain]

Are you calling R2 grey? Try playing it and then come back.
Wait, maybe you're thinking of Gears 2.

I use consoles for gaming. We have 2 PCs, a laptop, an iMac and two Macbooks in the family and not one of them is used for gaming.

Why are you in a PS3 game thread?

[Karum]

lol he called R2 grey and bland

Hopefully you're not an electrician, I fear you are colour blind and may cause damage to your personage and that of others.

[yanikins111]

someone needs to go play R&C

[plain rice]

"resistance anyone?"

HAHAHA. Are you retarded or color blind? Resistance has bland colors? Please go play it then come back to me. I've played GeoW2 and R2. Let me tell you R2 blows GeoW2 in the color department.

Keep your misinformed fanboy trash out of here.

[OGharryjoysticks]

Motorstorm Pacific Rift is full of colors and quite vibrant.

[Figboy]

is making the last two hours of work so hard.

i can't wait to get home and play it some more!

i'm reminded of how gorgeous this game is.

if KZ2 doesn't win any technical excellence awards for next year, or at LEAST get nominated (i imagine Heavy Rain and even Alan Wake may be deserving of some tech awards also next year, to name only a few; GT5 and GOW3 may push for it also), then there is officially no justice in the gaming world.

Guerrilla Game's attention to detail in this game is phenomenal, and it's just the MULTI-PLAYER! where they generally reduce assets for bandwidth reasons.

another thing; KZ2 multi-player: Anti-aliasing. there's not a jaggy in sight in this game. this game surprises and impresses at every turn.

the haters really need to just swallow their pride and admit that Killzone 2 is delivering on the gameplay front.

hell, even Playstation 3 fans have to admit that games like Fable 2 and Gears of War 2 are fun gameplay experiences.

[arika]

i expect this game to shut the mouths of critics and blow every gamers senses. the most awesome game ever.

[sephy 9 2 5]

to see gifs like this as soon as they come along go to neogaf forums.

[creeture]

Makes 360 games look outdated.

[arakouftaian]

Beta n they have inprove the gameplay a lot n change few lil thing n make the game better I'm glad n I will be sending my feedbacks to make this game better even if is no need to be made better is virtualy perfect right know, I'm glad a lot of the people from N4G got in , n they r still in phase 2of 3 sooo you guys could be next I will help so you gey in fallow my stapes, subcribe ur PS3 n ur PSN account n games to playstation.com (nake sure to give ur barecode n active ur ps3) also active ur PS3 from ur PS3 "whit ur ps3". Make sure to link ur PSN account to killzone.com. N post comment in the news n forums from Killzone.com n post in the forums of playstation.com. Make sure to download the videos n themmes of killzone2 from ur PSN store n that's all you. Need to do good luck n all this will help you to get u in on others betas ala HOME. Ohhhhh n make sure to put Killzone2 on ur wish list once you active ur ps3 on playstation.com. I hope to kill you soon on the Beta n the fullgame.

[Wolf873]

let's just hope the gameplay and other aspects of it, makes the game close to impossible to give it a score of below 9. This is the only FPS that has got my attention and I'm not a big FPS fan, the only other game to capture my attention was Turok and that failed, so I'm really rooting for KZ-2 to be a critical success.

[mirroredderorrim]

ANYWAY... gamespot is the leaning tower of fail.

[crillyconlig]

the textures in the killzone beta will put you off buying any multiplat game ever again, multiplats they look so bad in comparison

[DJ]

The PS3 and 360 userbases are almost equal, and the PS3 sells more software (based off what publishers are telling us). If PS3 exclusives start pulling away this much from 360 exclusives, multiplat devs are going to have to start taking advantage of the PS3 hardware rather than making both SKUs equal.

And this in turn will end up hurting the 360, since PS3 games have such a huge technical advantage.

[Kain81]

oh deus ariti, oh deus ariti, oh deus ariti, oh deus ariti mulan
primus primus KILLZONE2
^^

[D3acon]

Of all the betas i've gotten into I didn't get into this one :(

I like the destructability, its more simulated than actually changing the acutal flow of the map. Stuff breaking apart as you shoot at someone is just awsome.

Queston, does it stay broken or does it do a respawn thing after so long, so you can break it again.

[crillyconlig]

stays broken

[Wolf873]

I mean I have still seen some games utilize the same old technique where when things break apart, the pieces disappear, does it happen in this?

[Kain81]

are YOU that affraid.

[GamingGeekPS3360]

Damn....

[GWAVE]

I like the destruction, but I like the smoke and particle effects even more. There really aren't any games that use smoke as a tactical advantage, unless you're talking about smoke grenades, and those are underused and not often included in FPS games.

But in Killzone 2, smoke gets thrown up by environmental destruction, so there are many times when your vision is obscured by a lot of dust and debris. Yes, the graphics are absolutely stunning, but things like this are what impress me because it actually adds a tactical advantage. There were plenty of times in the beta where I would shoot out a pillar, kick up some smoke, and then charge through the smoke at the enemy and take them out with a shotgun because they couldn't see me approach.

People say "Kz2 is sooo generic! Where is teh innovation?!?" THERE is just one example of Kz2's innovation.

[yanikins111]

Holy. Mcf*ck

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Agreed...

[Glad to be a gamer]

But still people want to post killzone 2 articles.......thats just sad

Try playing gears 2 best shooter ive played ever. WHAT A GAME : ) In fact id say one of the best games ive ever played.

Honestly any gamer owes it to them selves to play this game. just finished it and i want to play it again already : )

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

It really is amazing...

I played through Resistance 2's campaign and then GeOW2's campaign and it was honestly much better. Although R2's multi-player DESTROYS everything else out, GeOW2 totally takes the campaign. The storytelling was much better than the first, the pop-ins and glitches weren't as bad...although noticeable, and the voice acting was definitely uped.

LOVED IT!

[Last Snake]

It's really high physical effect
just look to the number of the pieces all of those 3d objects moving in random positions in this quality & without frame drop
only the CELL processor can give you this result
KZ2 I'm coming for you..

[Glad to be a gamer]

But come on its not out till febuary.... lol...are things that tight for Ps3 fans ive got one and naruto ultimate ninja is a complete let down WHERE IS THE STORY/manga clips????? not to mention the substitution jitsu dosen't work half the time.

Ps3 fans should be thankful that lbp lived up to expectations (i luv it) otherwise this year would of been a real anti climax.

Nun is so bad that ive bought rise of the ninja for the 360 again (great game) to play though before broken bond comes out.

Looks can really be decieving.

[Junse]

Anticlimax? or R2? man if you are so happy with Gears 2 (a great game btw) why are here talking sh*t or that is your way?

[drdistracto707]

WOW!

*jaw shatters*

[Quindarogamer]

This gamer is going to murder

http://quindarogamer.blogsp...

[robotnik]

10/10 graphics.

[reelife]

Oh please mr retard please, tell me more than 2 games that flopped for the ps3? Haze yes (got better score than Too human lawlgh!) Lair yes (got better score than Vampire rain lawghlwagh!!!!!) Mgs4, have been said to be the best game ever made, please check out IGN's review or gamespots review. Uncharted and gears 1 and 2, i've played em both, I liked em both as much. Although i do like jungle environments better than a shattered planet or something. Killzone 2, will NOT flop. The beta is a success, and they are going to pronounce something big about the game on december 4th, Stay tuned people. And please shut the f*ck up PP, you probably don't even got a console.

[jesuisankit]

Awesome effects.. one of the best particle effects ever seen in a game.. u can see the ashes piling up on the ground...!!

[XT-1000]

PWNED!!! Poor xbots all they have is RROD MASSACRE, but no games. About such destructibility with this great graphics they can only dream, 3FixMe just can't carry it. It's more possible 3FixMe burns down a house then deliver such an experience. It's surely not funny to be an xbot :(

[akaFullMetal]

looks awesome, plays awesome and i can't wait for the full version ( im in the beta hehe)

[gamfreak]

U know what, let us PS3 owners enjoy playing KILLZONE 2 while the owners of 3fixme can only hope and pray hard enough that it will be released on 3fixme,umm but i doubt it will happen....lol

[Shane Kim]

Doubt? It WILL NEVER happen, since Sony owns both GG and KZ IP.

[mt]

Amazing .

[MvmntInGrn]

It looks stellar, the destructibility looks amazing. At first I thought the best we would see was Company as far as destruction goes, which was nice but very fake looking. This, however, is the real deal.

DMM is very impressive as well but in general it didn't provide as much atmosphere and reality like we see here.

No expense spared, Sony first party is just jaw dropping, always is.

EDIT: Check out the particle effects, ridiculous.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I can't freakin' wait!

[Ryangp]

Hahahahaha....Trumpets

[phosphor112]

..laughing at all the people who agreed with the "PS3 Song" http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Fighting a battle is easy..but beating those doesn't mean it'll win the war. Yay PS3 for the turn around.

[yanikins111]

god you sony fanboys dont realise how crap this game looks. i mean look at when that grenade blows the stuff off of the pillar. i mean only the big chunks of debris cast shadows on the ground. what were GG thinking? that this would be good enough? and i mean they only have it running at what 720P with 4x(?) AA? What a load of crap. the lighting engine is for crap, the character animations are turd and the colour pallette is just too colourful and doesnt capture the atmosphere of an alien war at all. PS3 suxors!

<giggles>

[thetan5000]

She loves it!

[Magic_The_Celt]

*runs into thread*

*jaw shatters*

*lays on floor unconcious*

[jmcorp]

what can i say? other than, I will be picking up a PS3 for this game, as I just cannot resist the graphics, the detail, the action and of course the gameplay of this masterpiece, I take back all what I said agains GG prior to seeing KZ2 to its fullest, this game simply rocks!

now....

I would like to say to the People that due to their far-reaching blindness by their fanboism, the people that fail to see just how great this game is..."grow up"

Yes I am a 360 fan supporting a PS3 exclusive..doesn't get much better than that, eh?

but on a serious note, how could anyone deny that KZ2 is simply one of the best games that will ever grace this planet, a TRUE system seller....

[micro_invader]

Simply incredible, they really have put a lot of time and effort into this game. Everything looks perfect. I wouldn't mind if they shipped it right now! Although I know that won 't happen :P. I

[ta1snake]

Well, KZ2 will be contender for GOTY of 2009.
