Killzone 2 Comparison - E3 2005 VS E3 2007

The stages have been set. Sony have finally unveiled their much anticipated title for the PS3. Here is the first comparison to see how close the new gameplay is to the CG trailer which was shown in 2005.

Blabbermouth6548d ago

thats crazy it looks that close to the 05 trailer, like what others have said, it looks better in certain aspects. I didn't even realize that until I saw these pics.

Shake6548d ago

Im a 360 fan but when I saw this I got really happy....I dont know why.Does this mean im turning into the dark side?No...I must stay in the light

StateofMind6547d ago

@Shake

You're a gamer first, I hope. A gamer appreciates this sort of technical achievement no matter what. Now find some excuses to get pissed off at your 360 so you can put a PS3 next to it.

VendettaWFT6547d ago (Edited 6547d ago )

Is that everyone and I mean everyone completely forgot about that first screen shot they posted a couple days ago of the Helghast guy, and how much flak Killzone 2 and the developers were taking from that one picture. I tip my hat to him, he said "just wait till you see this thing in motion" and I'll be damned cause he was absolutely right. Everybody who was hating on that picture and on this game just got completely "shut up" by this trailer. Congrats GG and Sony

even better than the 05 trailer graphically, animations could use some tweaking though.

The General6548d ago

The only competition E3 2007 Killzone 2 had was its E3 2005 trailer and now, it has surpassed even that in only "pre-pre ALpha". Truly amazing. Nah, Forget that, that is Ridiculous. EVERY and I Mean EVERY PS3 fan was right. Killzone 2 owned and not only owned the E3 2005 trailer, but owned everything. If you don't own a PS3, you just got owned by Sony's E3. So no more excuses, next-gen touch-sense-rumble might making a comeback this fall, so right now is the time to go and get a ps3. Great games coming out this fall and in 2008, all paving the way for the end of the current Next-Gen, to give rise to the New Next-Gen Era, The Rise Of Killzone 2 and Metal Gear Solid 4.

It's feeling so good right now to be a PS3 OWNER. My Savings and Wallet have just got owned.

P.S. - PS3 fans, give other PS3 fans bubbles because you were right all along, so let's celebrate with a E3 2007 PS3 After Party Bubble Fiesta.

Killzone 2 for the Win Baby!

sloth4urluv6548d ago

Are you blind?
Dont get me wrong it looks great, but im not going to go asfar to say that it looks better than the pre rendered....
You can obviously tell that the pre render has much higher poly models and higher resolution textures.

EZCheez6548d ago

I also seem to be one of the few that thinks this looks better than COD4. The trailer looked awesome but the live demo wasn't THAT impressive. It almost looked like a new SOCOM game.

@General. I will support you in your bubble spree, even though I never really argued that it would own. However, that doesn't mean I wasn't hoping for it too.

sak5006548d ago

Look at desperate fonybois imagining it to be better than a pre-reendered CGI. Man wake up and stop sucking on phil's d!ck. This is an avg looking game, even Hour of victory had better graphics than this but look what happened to it 2/10 by gamespot. The A.I is at par with Far Cry. Gamers would know what i'm talking about.

So since you guys haven't had a decent fps in a long time, this blandly colored ps2.5 title is looking awesome to you.. You guys have no taste.

Master of Menace6548d ago (Edited 6548d ago )

Actually, not that real.

Wow they really did it gameplay pawns the trailer well done guerila...

unbiased6548d ago

Mart said it would be immpossible to ever do the trailer.
sorry guys but if Mart said it, it must be true.

Creepa at GameManx6548d ago

This has Surpassed the 05 trailer Real talk

fenderputty6548d ago (Edited 6548d ago )

It meets and surpasses the 05 trailer. It's pretty damn even if you ask me. There's some give and take. Honestly ... I can't believe it looks as good as it does. The new extended gameplay footage makes me giddy.

EZCheez6548d ago

My wife laughed at me while I giggled watching this. Same for the GT5 trailer.

Synex6547d ago

Killzone 2 and GT5 also made me pretty giddy. My friend I had over to watch sony's E3 conference stopped everything he was doing, even if he was talking and in the middle of a sentence, and starred at the tv in "Awe" when GT5 and Killzone 2 played. Also, he happens to be a X360 owner and always puts down the PS3 every chance he gets. I think his chances just lessened. :D

Why Guerrilla Games Shouldn't Abandon the Killzone Series

Hugely disappointingly, it seems that Guerrilla Games, developers of the Killzone and Horizon series, may be done with Killzone for good.

1 was fine, overhyped as a " halo" killer
2 was a graphical beast at the time, and felt heavy
3 was good a refinement of 2 but not much else. weird audio issues environment were to quiet
shadow fall was pretty but bland

OtterX235d ago (Edited 235d ago )

Shadowfall had great Multiplayer though. Too bad the campaign was meh at best. It did have the occasional great moment sprinkled in.

TheNamelessOne234d ago (Edited 234d ago )

I played through 2/3 multiple times. I played through the original once, but it felt pretty lukewarm for me. I couldn't be bothered to beat Shadow Fall. I got a couple hours in and just went "I'm done". Never touched it again. It was awesome on the tech side, being a launch title, but it didn't even match up to the first game when it came to actually having fun playing it.

Rude-ro234d ago

3 in 3d was an amazing experience to be had.
Although not many experienced it as intended for good reasons.

just_looken234d ago

You forgot the ai advancements on the playstation 2 killzone one you could have a full team of bots doing everything even playing the objective that was a big thing.

In killzone 2 they always flanked you and when available used the high ground.

Playing killzone 2 no hud 5.1 audio was/is awesome

MDTunkown235d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72235d ago

I dont mind if someone else takes up the mantle for the KZ franchise. We are several years removed from the first game. It certainly could use a remake to gauge interest in the rest of the series. I know it has its fans... Im thinking of how a proper reboot can rekindle that old dormant flame and bring in a new generation of fans in the process.

just_looken234d ago

You forgot killzone mercenaries on the ps vita but it was the worst selling sony game for awhile there.

Yui_Suzumiya234d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast234d ago

They should let it go or sell it. No use spending millions on this project.

LucasRuinedChildhood234d ago

Would like a new IP before Horizon 3. Just because games take so long to make these days.

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.

OtterX464d ago (Edited 464d 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-ro463d ago

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

darthv72463d 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_463d ago

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

Cacabunga463d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos463d ago (Edited 463d 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

seanpitt23463d 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!

Iceball2000464d ago

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

Father__Merrin464d ago

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

InUrFoxHole464d ago

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

Marcus Fenix464d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989463d ago

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

1Victor464d ago (Edited 464d 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 😱

464d ago
Michiel1989463d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

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

1Victor768d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar768d ago

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

jznrpg767d ago

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

badz149767d 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!

Vengeance1138768d 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 Kim768d ago

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

VersusDMC768d 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?

Vengeance1138768d ago

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

solideagle768d 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.

Phoenix76768d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.
Not too bad for an ip that's only been on market for 6 years

REDGUM767d ago

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware730768d ago (Edited 768d 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.

blacktiger767d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca768d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy768d ago (Edited 768d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain767d ago

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

Imalwaysright767d ago

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