New Killzone 2 Screenshots

New screenshots including a helgast droid, and more.

[Relcom]

This game couldn't look any better. Its so bad ass.

[Time Lord]

Nothing to see here, move along...

[xc7x]

ahh i got suckered in GRRRR!!!!

[sonarus]

the air vehicle is new to me never seen dat 1. Everything else aint new

[PS3PCFTW]

wait a fuccin second, is it just ME.........or does the game look even MORE POLISHED??

damn, it looked awesome before. though the textures and antialiasing look much better now.

lol, bots hittin disagree is mad funny. U XROD BOYS ARE PATHETIC. why dont you xbots just go play your epic-designed-for-FPS-ONLY-RRO DBOX?

HAha you bots never realized that huh? your rrod box was designed FOR A 3rd person shooter.......

[C_SoL]

it looks alot more polished.....looks fukin awesome...

[xc7x]

the air vehicle is at the end of the video,did you not see the videos?

[lawman1108]

NOT game play.............

[shmee]

confirmed??

well the only competitors are MGS 4 and FF13.

but KZ2 will get GOTY nomination no doubt

[jiggyjay]

KZ2=Lair... This game will turn out to be like Lair.. Looks really good but plays really crappy!

[PiTCHBLaCK]

at least most of them are indeed game play.

[The_Engineer]

why don't you STFU you ignorant baboon, anytime you want I can school your dumbass on the MANY features in the cell that ABSOLUTELY make the 360's crappy and unoptimized design for gaming look like JUST THAT!!

ignorance is a sad thing to watch in action.

[Hydrollex]

Why the game is dark ? Ummmm

[Relcom]

atmosphere. It sets the mood of the game. Not everything is bright ass halo

[NoUseMerc]

This isn't the only level in Killzone 2. Let's just hope that there are some more colorful environments. But think, the first Killzone was very gray and dark...so.

If you are looking for a game with color go pick up Uncharted.

[PS3n360]

a sony "fanboy" criticizing killzone 2. Maybe I was wrong about you. I thought you were blindly favouring ps3 but it seems you actually are not completely biased. I think thats cool. I will be the first to admit if my console of choice screws up ie sh1tty 360 hardware. I am used to dark over contrasted 360 games and I dont like it either. These are not in game though and the gameplay footage shown to date does not look too dark. I am looking forward to this game alot. It is definately the ps3 system seller for me. working on getting one now.

[shysun]

Yeah dumbass, if you played KZ one you'ed know all of their leavels aren't dark.

[mark09]

"Why the game is dark ? Ummmm"

Now ask yourself why Gears of War was dark, the reasoning will be the same.

[Bits-N-Kibbles]

There isn't a rainbow pallet of colors for every level... I bet if you look outside when there is a storm you see mostly grey, not bright greens, yellows and oranges.. I suggest you look at some of the Killzone concept art...

Edit: I guess Spike47 said the same thing basically before me...

[iceice123]

More blurry and dull dead screenshots of this game. Seriously this game has no life at all to it.

[PS3PCFTW]

the only thing thats lifeless is youre brain and your rrodbox. Go kill yourself like your xbox does.

[eleaz14]

what are you doing here, you dont even like the PS3

[DRUDOG]

You've got to be at least top 5 if not top 3 RRoD fanboys around here. I never see anything but garbage in your posts. I've even seen you dressed down by your fellow fanboys so why are you even talking smack about a game you'd be drooling over if it was on 360?

[Lionsguard]

These screens aren't new...well I don't know about that last one because it's too dark but yea these screens suck. I SAID SCREENS!! they need a better capture and some real new footage. Looks like someone played the trailer, paused it, took a photo of it and uploaded it.

[snoopgg]

Killzone 2 will be one of the better Fps this year and its only on Sony. Its amazing how a impressive exclusive has no life to it at all. This game will sell off the fact that it kicks arse, not because it is a overhyped piece of shat!!!!

[resistance100]

Icewake before you make retarded comments like that, care to play the first killzone and then say your point, if there is one thing killzone exceded in, it was creating an amazing atmosphere.

Colour doesn't mean atmosphere you know

[sonarus]

cus dats what they did. guerilla hasnt released nuthin new and psu is jst makin screens off the gameplay footage. Killzone 2 looks awesome but not every 1 seems to be digging the color. This is warfare ppl and other harsh weather conditions on another planet thats wat its supposed to look like. If you dnt like the color of warfare on another planet under harsh conditions then thats fine killzone 2 might not be for you even though not every game will be like that. You can't expect rainbows and roses and daiseys in such games if you want color play uncharted another great game. Dnt critisize the game for going with a different look than ur used too

[r3xmund1]

that trolls like you make decent Xbox (AND ps3) owners look bad...

Yes KZ2 is dark, it's meant to be, its post-apocalyptic and moody! i love Halo myself, (all 3 of 'em) but hot-damn sometimes I wish they toned down the Bloom just a little! and everyting does not need to be bright and lovely!!!! War is hell boy, Knuckle Up!

Lawlzzor!! >_+

[Sevir04]

we all know how gritty the game is so poose to feel and look but it sucks becaus ethese aren't even screen shots they are stupid screen captures from the game running... as you can see the blurr and the motion deicted from the helghast from the first pic... poorly taken job. they should have left it alone... i've seen better screens from this game than this BS..

[Spike47]

atmospehere like Relcom said.

Not all games are bright and pink and green and look like a christmas celebration.

This is the true atmospeheer of war, the same one cod4 has, dark.

You think a modern battefeild would have perfect green grass with a nice sky and no dark clouds whatsover.

I LOVE HALO, BUT IF U COMPARE THE DETAIL AND GRAPHICS OF KILZONE 2 TO HALO3, IT MAKES HALO3 LOOK LIKE SESAME STREET.

[lawman1108]

And you guys go and put all of your eggs in one basket ......again *COUGH* LAIR * COUGH* This game has "bad news" written all over it. All of these "screen shots" are cut scenes from video in the game NOT game play. I will bet this game will be THE let down for the PS3 in 2009 because it wont even be ready for Christmas 2008. And YES I own a PS3 and a 360....So far the 360 " HAS THE SKILLS TO PAY THE BILLZ"

[PiTCHBLaCK]

I read in a E3 report that many of these screens look like video capture but are indeed gameplay.

also, this is a $40 mil game, can't do that bad!.

[Douche]

You are a genuine jack@ss. This is all from gameplay. All "cutscenes" are streamed into gameplay and run off of the ingame engine. But all of the screenshot shown are from screen captures of actual GAMEPLAY. What in the hell makes you compare Lair to Killzone 2? Killzone 2 is developed closely between Sony and Guerrila and has the backing and publicity that Lair missed out on. Which is why Killzone 2 has it's major funding. And Killzone 2 is not JUST graphics. There is so much technology going into it that makes it stand out from not just Lair (which is not a shooter) but every FPS to date. Superior lighting (500 dynamic lights in just the level shown), an unbelievable hit reaction system, real world physics of blood, and according to yourself, gameplay that matches the quality of cutscenes. You say you own a PS3...that's bull.

[Spike47]

haVE THIS THAN HALO3 graphics anyday.

lets just hope the gameplay is as good.

[NoUseMerc]

yeah, I am just hoping that they can make the multiplayer in Killzone 2 as good as Halo 3's. The match making system that is...

[The_Engineer]

AMAZING since the Ps3's SPE processors are specifically designed to handle broadband processing as opposed to the "general purpose" processors that xbots love to brag so much about.The reality is dual threaded general purpose cores simply can't keep up with the demands true next gen games put on them. THIS is clearly evident in all the stutters,slowdowns,tearing,art ifacts that a great game like Mass Effect is littered with. WE have said this allllll along, right now the industry is transitioning out of the old world of sequential processing and learning how to parallel game code. This is why dinosaurs like Newell and Carmack have complained about the PS3, because now they are no longer among the elite when it comes to cutting edge game design. This will be more become more and more apparent as 360 games TRY to keep up with what the PS3 is putting out. By this time next year it will be pretty clear that this is now a one horse race and that horse is named PS3 ridden by Sony.

[r3xmund1]

Firstly dude, thats some ugly ass furniture you have ... hee hee, no seriously, KZ was not crap, just like Black it was fun! You run you shoot, awesome!!

Secondly Lair has got trashed and it pains me.. I bought it on import played an loved it its frikkin' awesom yes the controls are 'different' but if you have played flight sims it should take about 15 mins to get used to them... I had NO issues on the 'dreaded' bridge section!

Lastly you seem to be favouring you Xboxxor cos your poor PS is on the floor sucking up that ugly ass carpet.... poor PS3 give it a shelf!!

[moses]

Arn't these all from that trailer that was released a long time ago?... I remember seeing all of these from that trailer.

Edit: Oh pssh, this is news? Two pointless screenshots? The second indistinguishably blurry?

I love how I say something negative about this and I get three disagrees already. Christ.

[NoUseMerc]

yeah, I think the first two are the only new ones. The Droid and first Helgast I have never seen before.

[Douche]

No, you have failed. These screenshots are MONTHS old. The Intruder (the helghast droid?) was in the demo conclusion trailer along with a few video hands-on. And the Helghast pic along with the first person view of the main character have also been seen before in pic and video form. This is a tease and a waste of important news. Wait until NEW Killzone 2 screens come out before submitting them as news.

[unlimited]

horrible screen capture..shouldnt show us it just yet .KIllzone 2 will be awesome cant wait to get it early next year hopefully

[xionpunk]

it looks so friggin good

[NoUseMerc]

I am hoping they show some new levels in the next couple months. Perhaps some more City like environments.

[Skerj]

I don't think it's too wise to take a screenshot with motion blur in effect, for the apparent reasons.

[Meus Renaissance]

It's from the trailer a few months back. Thanks for the new pictures, I just want new content now.

[ElementX]

The character design looks like plastic. And people say Virtua Fighter on 360 looks shiny?

EDIT:
I've never played the first game but from what I read it's average at best. I'm not going to get excited about this until the reviews start rolling in, even with the GS scandal.

[doshey]

this are from the e3 trailer, why do we accept this dumb crap

[antoinetm]

same scene from different angles. How boring

there is something fishy here if they dont start releasing SS featuring new maps...

anyways, the game is still looking great, i just hope that by the time they release the game it wont be outclassed by the newest games.

*cough* stalker fiasco

[ichimaru]

why are you guys critisizing Halo for not bieng grey and having a rich colorful atmospere.? just like KZ2, it is the art style and adds a mood to the gameplay. one is a future alien civilzation with lasers sorta thing, while the other is a post apocalyptic destroyed Earth sorta thing. killzone is more like gears, not necessarily grey but it has a dark gloomy "destroyed beauty" type of thing.

but KZ2 should be awsome, lets celebrate not bash.

[NoUseMerc]

I am looking forward to getting my hands on the beta. That will be the true test to see if Killzone 2 is all that great!

[INehalemEXI]

Pretty sick looking droid. I want in the beta too.

[Meus Renaissance]

How exactly, the frack, can 360 fanboys come here and talk smack about graphics on a platform's leading FPS? That annoys the crap out of me. When Halo 3 was criticised for its visuals, you guys were either silent or talking about how it has unique art style which made it look colourful. Now you come here and attack KillZone 2? That's almost as stupid as the ones who claimed the E32007 gameplay on stage was CGI footage.

One word. Insecurities.

If you admire the game, say that, praise it and maybe even save up for a PS3 then buy it. If not, the last thing you should criticise is graphics.

[iceice123]

Have tricked you so badly. Look at any SS of KZ2 you can find, watch the trailer again and again. It is a dull, lifeless washed out game. These are not good graphics unless you're a fanboy. It is beyond me how you are either ignoring this or just actually somehow not seeing it. I like how people defend this by saying oh it is a war game not kiddie crap, that is no excuse for this. Look at CoD4 running at 60fps then look at this. It is disguising. Who is claiming the 2k7 footage is cgi? I've never seen anyone on this site say that ever. But hey, I guess I'm somehow insecure sense thinking that makes you feel better about being wrong.

"will not dispute that the game is dark in some regions but I don't expect that to be throughout. They've only showed half of the levels of the game, what makes you so sure the game is dark throughout, as you described it, lifeless? You are making the assumption that it is."

I can say the same to you about it having more life later in the game. At least I have what has been shown thus far to go by, you have nothing to hold any weight.

"And are we arguing KZ2 visuals specifically, or just the visuals in general? Because if the latter, I'm sure you know how Halo 3 looks like and compared to KillZone 2, the majority of people will agree with me that it does not come anywhere near it."

Totally different art style, you know it which is why you picked Halo 3. Hell, why not pick R&C, why didn't you pick Gears? Oh, a majority of people will agree Gears looks better.(by the way I pulled that out of my ass, like you KZ2 vs H3 comparison there.).

"You will probably disagree, and ironically, continue your charade that it is I who is the one blinded by bias."

That's what you're showing me here, not my fault I call it how I see it.

@eleaz14, So if someone likes to have color/life in a game they are a child? rethink your statement, you don't know what you're talking about.

[Meus Renaissance]

I will not dispute that the game is dark in some regions but I don't expect that to be throughout. They've only showed us one of the levels of the game, what makes you so sure the game is dark throughout, as you described it, lifeless? You are making the assumption that it is.

Nothing. Yet you dismiss the entire game on the regards to the dark visuals shown in actually this part of the trailer (other parts where he is blowing up that device is well lit).

And are we arguing KZ2 visuals specifically, or just the visuals in general? Because if the latter, I'm sure you know how Halo 3 looks like and compared to KillZone 2, the majority of people will agree with me that it does not come anywhere near it.

You will probably disagree, and ironically, continue your charade that it is I who is the one blinded by bias.

P.S. I swear to God a few claimed it was CGI when the trailer was first released. It was disturbing to read.

[eleaz14]

if your childist mind cannot live without colors, then go and play your Viva Pinata

[remix]

expierence because GRAPHICS DONT MAKE A FREAKIN GAME.
but over the last few days, i did my research and come ot find out.

killzone 1 NEVER had a cover system(killzone 2 does) the AI was horrible(killzone 2 ai is good)
and the framerate was bad(seems to be fixed)
that was the main things ign said was wrong with it but now there fixed.
and now you can jump which you couldnt in killzone 1.

im also think alot of reviewers brought the score down because it was compared to halo and i kind've think it will happen again except from ign.

im still not sure if this game will be the greatest fps as some people make it out to be but i do think it will be really really good.

and i think now they even have coop, so they have really improved gameplay. it will definetely move systems though just because of all the hype surrounding it, ESPICIALLY in europe

i know im gonna get disagrees for this but i think killzone 2 has more detail then crysis. (RUNS FOR COVER.LOL) from the way the wind blows and effects things to the way the blood turns slightly yellow after a while. to the animations and depending on where you hit them, THAT part of the body will be affected.

[INehalemEXI]

I think so far the only thing that rivals KZ2 graphics is Crysis and UT3. Gears 2 has a better shot then Halo 3 when it comes to rivaling KZ2 gfx IMO.

[thereapersson]

They're not new except for the droid screenshot...

[Marceles]

I hate titles like this...

"A helghast droid...and more!!!" (only 2 pics)

What a waste...

[wAtdaFck]

There's only 2?

aww...

[Frances-the-Mute]

i expected a lot more...o well....

[Hydrollex]

I'm fuking dissapointed

[Meus Renaissance]

G-G-G-G G Unit!

;)

[wildcat]

People forget easily :)

http://youtube.com/watch?v=...

Edit- Yeah the graphics are nothing to debate. Let's wait and see if Guerilla follows through with their promise of gritty, intense gameplay. Looks promising from what I've seen.

@.3 & .4- completely agree

[jwatt]

yea I love the physics and lighting and the way you kill the enemies with hit response.

[razer]

I can never get enough of watching that video. You would really have to be blind to not see how amazing the visuals are in this game. The particle effects, HDR lighting and character models. I lean tword the 360 in my console preference but I gotta say this game is going to rival anything the 360 has on it and this footage is what sold me on getting a PS3.

My #1 most wanted game and it can't come soon enough! I just hope the AI and gameplay match the visuals.

[dhammalama]

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

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

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

I think it looks absolutely amazing! I can't wai to see some new pictures because the screens are old. Check out these videos hydrolex.

[cmrbe]

Just watch the E3 2007 trailer. This game in motion is like no another game. Perhaps COD4 comes close but then the trailer is an old one. There is no question that this game graphically and atmosphere wise will deliver but other elements such as AI and gameplay is unknow.

[Ri0tSquad]

too old

[jwatt]

This is so old but look at how fast the radar when up.

[HarryEtTubMan]

HAHA look at the jealous bots. This game destroys anything on the junkbox and they haven't even shown anything yet. Killzone is gonna pwn your mom. You have no clue

Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune thus succeeds in so many ways. It has the best console graphics to date, gob-smackingly good cutscenes, a modest yet twisting plot, an incredible soundtrack, perfect pacing and combat that you’ll want to keep returning to. Only the simplicity of the platforming and puzzling, as well as the slow paced jetski levels hold it back from being a perfected masterpiece. But if you don’t play this game, you really are missing out. You need to buy this game…right now.

Unchareted given a 9.4/10 and confirmed for the 3rd time as the best looking game on the market. BURN XBOTS BURN... PS3 WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE BETTER GRAPHICS BLAHAHHAHAA

[Rattles]

you are right about fan boys still clauming its not real i made a post about it awhile ago' and yes the game looks great and why is it only ONLY xbox fanboys saying other wise???

[Gina-get-u]

It's not even out yet, but it's already feeling like old news. It can be disadvantageous to talk too much about something too soon in that it loses some of its novelty and newsworthiness. The same thing happened to Devil May Cry and Too Human. I think Sony should hold back on any more KZ news until it's just about to come out. Then they can pull out all the stops and do a Halo3 style blitz.

[jwatt]

but not my video I summitted showing ut3 on the ps3, well here it is.

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

It's old but I never saw it and it looks very good.

[Clinton514]

Still playing fangirl wars? Go find a new hobby you pretend gamer.

[hamburgerhill]

I just want to see and play the final product! The visuals look great but it's going to be the gameplay and immersion that pulls it together. I'm really looking forward to rage, wolfenstein and borderlands and hope the best for this game!

[Clinton514]

Caps from the E3 demo. Looks like someone's generating site hits.

Still, KZ2 looks good.

[367 To Your Ass]

this does not look better. http://www.n4g.com/ps3/View...

this does. http://media.ps3.ign.com/me...

and that don't look better than this http://www.gamersyde.com/po...

i know i know, ps3 is better than 360 thats what all of you want to hear.

[solidt12]

I looked at your photos, and for those who didn't He is saying that a different photo of Killzone 2 looked better (which I agree) but then he says that Unreal Tournament 3 looks better than Killzone 2. Im not sure. I haven't seen enough of Unreal Tournament. Either way they are both great looking games and nether one of them looks way better than the other.

They both look great and are AAA titles.

[Polluted]

@solidt12: I'm pretty sure that was actually Marcus from Gears in the last pic, not someone from Unreal. Then again, the art design is kind of the same in Gears and Unreal so I could be wrong.

[Rattles]

bubbles for you look i can do it to

360s better than ps3

this is gona hurt

[solidt12]

Still looking good as ever.

[Chubear]

2 weeks before this game launches MS and it's fanbase are going to go INSANE with their negativity. This one is going to put all the FUD from the past 3 years to shame.

It's going to be INSANELY massive, their going to throw everything at Killzone2's launch period. We're going to see editorial reviews giving giving this game 7.5s and 8s like crazy and also one or two 5.5s even thought the game will set FPS bench marks like crazy.

Tighten those buttcheeks & Brace yourselves PlayStation fanbase, the FUD is going to be monsterous for this one.

[Pain]

I So Thougth the EXACT same thing its not even funny.

MS Will try its hardist to FUD the HELL out of Poor lil Killzone2.

Wait ill MGS4 and the rest come out wont be the first but KZ2 defently,
was called A Halo killer dubed by the Critics and KZ2 dose live up to it,
Atleast in looks so far and play wise seems good from vids and last game.

[Thugbot187]

I’m not really impressed by what I’ve seen coming from the Kill Zone 2play graphics they look a bit washed up and more like comic book. I was impressed a whole lot more by COD4 and UT3.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Time to clean those glasses fellow nerds.

[kornbeaner]

better clean your foot, since its gonna be in your mouth pretty soon.

This ain't no 640p kiddie stuff here.

[Big Jim]

Don't you guys think its a little too early to be saying that Killzone 2 is either the second coming of Christ, or the worst game ever made? All you have to go on are a couple of minutes of video and couple of screen shots from an early build. You really can't tell much of anything from the little bit we've seen of this game. When does this even get released? A year? At least wait until we have some decent video until you start making these wild predicitons.

[Lord Cheese]

that is the only sensible comment on here! I would love KZ2 to be brilliant, but are we forgetting that the first game was touted as a halo killer and ended up being nothing more than painfully average?

[FF7numba1]

I hope they show off the game Q1 08.

[AIZEN SOZUKE]

the opening scene was mistaken by IGN, and some others, and they were actually at the event, it surely still looks like cg to me, the polygonal counts are easily in cgi range, the lushness of the graphics make it surely look like cgi, the motion blur, that blood simulation hasnt been seen in any movie yet, and the outside weather, yes this game looks like cg in every way, and it has to since there is none saying the game missed the trailer, it beats the old trailer to me, so whoever tried to say that no one on this site said it looks like cg, i was playing the video on my computer screen and my brother said,"what movie is that?" if that aint saying somethin, then i dont know what will overcome your delusion, all i know is killzone is the best ingame realtime visuals ever, and it has 2 realtime engines, this games owns all

PLAY B3YOND

AIZEN SOUZUKE

[AIZEN SOZUKE]

the first impression of the game in e3 2007 was well greater than decent, it was magnificent, it beat the old trailer, new footage will only add even more want of the game, this is how in no way can i say crysis or any other pc games look better than ps3 games, to many people require new footage of ps3 games, the visuals are THAT GOOD

PLAY B3YOND

only on PS3

AIZEN SOUZUKE

[lawman1108]

If you can't look better then gears stay home.

[snoopgg]

Killzone 2 will even destroy Gears of war 2. This game is going to be stellar. Gears really didn't look that good. Uncharted looks and plays better then Gears of War for christ sake!!!!!!!!!

[hardcorehippiez]

but even i wouldnt say something as retarded as that. take your fanboy goggles off!

[led1090]

no gears does not own this game it looks awesome but i must say crysis looks better

[cmrbe]

They don't do the game justice as is. People should watch the trailer again to get what i am saying. I am certain that this game will be a next gen experience in terms of atmosphere, Graphics and intensity. Judeging fromthe trailer.

[FirstknighT]

Wow, I hope those are old screenshots because that looks horrible. Gears of War looks miles better than those screenshots. Killzone 2 is not looking as good as it used too. That infamous E3 trailer sure did give this game alot of hype but once they started to show real gameplay, the hype died down. Call of Duty 4 took best graphics by most journalists at this years E3 and NOT Killzone 2. Warhound will take the cake for best looking shooter next year.

[thereapersson]

These screenshots are not new, and this news article is pointless because it doesn't show us anything we don't know already.

[DJ]

level 3 of Killzone 2 is too dark and representative of real war, and Uncharted is too realistic and colorful like an actual jungle. Do you guys even realize what you're saying? "PS3 is too powerful; we need mediocrity."

Yes, Call of Duty 4 won a bunch of awards that Killzone didn't win, but Call of Duty is an 07' title while Killzone doesn't come out for another year. It doesn't make sense to diss Folklore (2007) and give a bunch of awards to White Knight Story (2008) for an event that takes place in 2007. Call of Duty 4 is a great looking title, but obviously nothing compared to Killzone. Actually, as it stands, Killzone is still considered top dog by the games industry, and Guerilla Games even had a hand in helping Naughty Dog with Uncharted. Their tech is being spread all throughout Sony Worldwide Studios, and for good reason.

[FirstknighT]

How do you listen or read to screenshots????

DJ, So I'm trying to compare a 2007 game with a 2008 game??? Shouldn't that mean that the 2008 should look better??? The fact is that Killzone 2 has been in development FOREVER...tons of manpower...tons of $$$ and it doesn't even look as good as Call of Duty 4 which probably took half of what it took to make Killzone 2. Just like FF & MGS & GT, it takes almost 3 times the development time to fully utilize the "almighty" Cell. Pshhhhhh! Killzone 2 looks to sit pretty right next to Lair as another major flop.

Any bets???

BTW, Uncharted is a great game. Played and beat it. Gameplay is not revolutionary and nothing about the game screams "WOW" but the game was alot of fun. Resistance and Uncharted are the only games that I have played and beat on the ps3. Played some Motorstorm and Warhawk. Both sucked. The other crap doesn't interest me.

[thereapersson]

*slaps forehead*

I'm talking about you not seeing the people saying that these screens are old and from the trailer! You asked "Wow, I hope those are old screenshots because that looks horrible.", which is where my statement came from.

I guess using the word "listen" doesn't make much sense considering it's words on a screen, but you should know what I mean.

[snoopgg]

If you read any previews from this game, then you would know how friggin good it looks. This game has graphics that will blow away your precious Gears of War. This game has a budget of 22 million dollars, and you better believe it will look better then the one year old Gears of war.

[hardcorehippiez]

kz2 isnt out yet is it. and while cod4 does look amazing the visuals and effects on this looks way better

[cmrbe]

Wrong post

[The Karate Kid]

KILLZONE 2 OWNZ.......................... ............................... ............................... .......................ALL 360 GAME.Z

No game on 360 will be able to compete with KILLZONE 2. This game will make 360 games look like PS2. LAST GENERATION

AUTOBOTZ ROLL OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[The Karate Kid]

Optimus Prime Needs Bubbles!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AUTOBOTZ BUBBLE ME OUT!!

[fopums]

wish there a little more......I got my hopes up but oh well, KZ2 still looks amazing.

Im already watching the trailers again, those helghast animations are incredible

[Bolts]

KZ2 might be a good game but those SS totally blows. This goes back to the pre E3 "teaser" shot. It looks like crap, forunately the demo totally rocks.

[DaEnforcer]

xbots

[InMyOpinion]

Not trying to flame, but I think the other screenshots I've seen of Killzone 2 looked much better. These are quite blurry and look old.

[Rattles]

ps fans: oh yea looks good suck that xbots

xbots: looks like cr@p gears beats it

xbox fans: hope they show some real gameplay next time

game sites: "lives upto the hype and more"

[InMyOpinion]

Fu*k freedom of speech!

[solar]

those screenshots dont look that great. www.disagree-with-me.com

[pornflakes]

Looks good but UT3 and COD4 look better guys.
I hope they will imrove the graphics.

[The Milkman]

I seen trailers for it and the graphics look great. I never realy tried to compare it to othere games graphically. One reason to that being its Art, its *NOT ALWAYS* how realistic something looks But how the art of the game comes into gameplay. But without a doubt this game has great visuals.

[actas123]

Amazing!

[achira]

wow, xbots are so dumb. this game has the best graphics easily. and why do you comment on ps3 games ? lol, jeleausy!!! hahha.

[tudors]

This game looks less impressive since COD4 came out, but I must say I have always liked the character animations, I am just not struck on the environments.

[Daz]

At the moment call of duty 4 looks better but thats what i think. Could all change when killzone 2 is relesed or it could turn out to be let down who knows.

[xg-ei8ht]

Gears of war is dark because of the post processing.

If you can, play it on pc, with everything on, it looks like the 360 version, but with better textures.

If you turn off post processing, you actually get alot of colour. Trees are green, character models have colour, you'll be quite surprised.

[greenenvy]

60+ signatures and counting, people are flooding to the petition from all over!!!!!!

http://www.petitiononline.c...

spread it everywhere you can, lets make that hundreds and then thousands!!

I guarantee u with how far this petition is being advertised, Gamespot can not last again!!!!!

ITS TIME METACRITIC THROW THEM OUT!

[Mr_Showtime1]

but is the planet in KZ2 not covered by constant dark clouds...

and as much as i love Gears, this game will trump it

[Salvadore]

Looks good.

[fopums]

2 screenshots and 114 comments...gotta love n4g xD

In all serious though the screenshots just dont sell KZ, seeing it in motion is where it counts. and thankfully thats where it shines. Much better then looking good in screenshots and then just average during actual gameplay.

[xaphanze]

That droid is the one from the 2005 E3 CGI.It looks good.

[TheXgamerLive]

And that was an Xbox 360 rushed game, I mean less than 9 months, so this is the best sony and company can do? These pics are blurred and w/o much detail at all. No colors no details, blurred, and your all saying this is atmosphere? This is weak, that's all there is to it.

KZ2 is a disappointment at this point. Lets see how actual gameplay looks though, that could turn this game around and still make it fun.

Gameplay, not graphics will make this a good game, hopefully.

[DJ]

Not a single Xbox 360 title is under that name.

[PS3PCFTW]

damn xbox360 really does suck!! because all these xbots in here instead of playing it PROVES IT!!!!!!!!!

have fun with your space-heater, xrod boys. its gonna be a cold winter!!

[Gamingisfornerds]

I mean, surely the whole game doesn't take place in just this enviroment?!

Come on, show us something new already. We've all seen this during E3. Why the hell would I want to see the same bloody footage six months later again?!

I want to see this game in daylight settings!

[TheMART]

All blurry pics, only three of them? Jees nothing to see again... What's different with PS3 games? Why is so few material coming out for PS3 games? Are they that insecure about what they're making or what

To the one below thanks for pointing out that one :P but still with only 3 pictures here and a lot of blurry stuff you know what I mean

[IGNFTW]

IN YOUR ULTIMATE QUEST TO TRASH THE PS3,YOU MADE A RATHER CONTRADICTORY GRAMMATICAL ERROR

I'M LAUGHING AT YOU RIGHT NOW

[zonetrooper5]

I played Uncharted on my PS3 and it really was not that great, gameplay wise to me, it was dull and has been done before. Graphically, it was pretty good but the lighting was so odd and not right.

Killzone 2 does look good but the textures could do with some work on them and I'm more worried about gameplay then graphics.

[Jandre02]

Its in game, the images are dark because thats the mood of the game. Stop hating on PS3 exclusives. U dont have to be jealous just pick up a PS3 next year when this game comes out.

Im starting to accept that this generation you will have to just buy multiple consoles. I still think the PS3 will eventually sell more because its exclusives are proven system sellers, but I am happy that I have an Xbox and my little brother got a Wii for Christmas.

But dont pretend that this game doesnt look amazing. So does FF, so does GT5, so does MGS4. Just wait until next Christmas and I bet we will all be enjoying all of these games.

[Lilbambit]

i dont see where the hype is coming from for this game, sure the graphics are amazing, but the gameplay looks nothing special....

[CrazzyMan]

and not so in static. =)

[AIZEN SOZUKE]

people try and say call of duty 4 is better looking than KZ2, when has COD4 been mistaken as cg?

[TheExecutive]

its pretty hard to compare the two. However, COD4 has the best in-game lighting to date. Its one of the most graphically impressive games I have ever played. If KZ2 gets compared to that this early in its development I think its more of a compliment.

[hahahabutt]

MAN Killzone 2 has been in development since before PS3 was even launched. lol That's over a year and a half.

[TheExecutive]

its been in development for longer than that... but these screens are OLD. So the screens are from earlier in development.

[hahahabutt]

All I have to say is this game better out due cod4, and I mean by a long shot. Cod4 has the most realistic online gaming to me and the campange was awsome. Period! Killzone 2 has to do alot better in my eyes. Right now it looks as cod4 might out due this.

[CaliGamer]

"Out DUE" or "Out DO". And from what I have seen, it already has my friend. Go to someone's house who has a PS3, ask them to download that KZ2 in game footage in HD and then come back here and make this statement again.
Game play is still in the air, but visuals are already rock solid according to most of the industry "experts" and by what I have seen. No need to hate, congratulate.

[AIZEN SOZUKE]

call of duty is most immersive

and looks like a movie

note: im black, and black people DO have better eyes

dont make me post things youll regret

[hahahabutt]

I'm hispanic so black people dont scare me, sorry to say. lol Also IF you OWN COD4, you will see in the back of the cover how many magazines praised it. ALSO IF you have GAMEINFORMER magazine, or OXM, or Playstation MAgazine, it was consider to be the most photorealistic shooter out with the most immersive online play like no other. GAMEINFORMER said this, (The Most Photo-Realistic Video Game WE'VE EVER SEEN.), (BEST of show- G4), (BESTACTION GAME-Game Critics Awards) (BEST SHOOTER AND BEST GRAPHICS- GAMESPOT AND IGN.com) Also (WINNER of 40+ E3 AWARDS) (also ONE OF THE DEEPEST ONLINE SHOOTERS OF ALL TIME- IGN.COM) man you need your facts straight or go out and buy the game since it's painfully obvious that you dont...lol

[TheExecutive]

lol black people have better eyes... I dont know what to say to that but its genuinely funny. COD:4 effectively set the bar in graphics. That's the #1 reason that its compared to KZ2 and to tell you the truth I think that KZ will beat out COD:4 technically, but some people will always say that COD looks better mainly because its photorealistic and KZ is stylized realism.

We havent seen enough of KZ2 to tell us whether its better graphically but it has to outshine it by quite a ways. I, personally, think it will. KZ will be the bar for visuals, whether the gameplay matches it is yet to be determined but the duck and cover system looks cool and it looks to go back to the roots of the first person shooter more than anything to date.

So, I have high hopes for this game but I am not going to say that a game that we have seen a total of 5 minutes of gameplay of one level is better or worse than a game that is already out. Its unfair to both, so lets just wait and see.

[scrillakiller]

19 - true story
heres a true story.me,bestgameralive,and xbox is the best are all friends in the real world even lived in the same house at one point.anyway when ps3 launched both were xbox fanboys and i stuck with ps3.they made fun of me clowned for months.ps3 graphics suck it has no games.today bestgameralive has a ps3 and says its the best system out.xbox is the best recently confessed that he is going to buy the ps3 next month and this guy swore on jesuses blood he would never buy one and i swore i would never buy xbox.guess what xbox still doesnt spark my interest but hes getting a ps3 and i will never buy xbox.this is how i know its over fr xbox.you guys know how big of a fan he is on this site.if u dnt believe me just ask bestgameralive

[LJWooly]

wtf are u saying?

[OOG FunK]

hes spamming every damn topic

[Polluted]

What the hell? Do we have an N4G bot or does someone just have to much time on his hands? Boo!

[OOG FunK]

all I can say it better be good gameplay and graphics....cuz they been tryn to hype this game for what 2...3 years??? now

[UltramanJ]

The others are stills taken from the unveiling video. Killzone 2 is the most overhyped game of this generation, and it's hype is 100% because of the graphics, which honestly aren't any better than what we've already seen in other games.
I also would like to see some different environments besides the drab brown and gray worn torn city. As someone else pointed out some color would most certainly be nice. While I'm also looking foward to this game, it's with a grain of salt because while Guerilla games certainly knows hardware, they have yet to show that they can deliver a top tier game. Killzone wasn't even close to being a "Halo killer" like it was originally touted, and their Vietnam game was awful.

[gnothe1]

all this was is an attempt to get KZ2 back in the minds of gamers!! because if you can remember in the last few months there hasnt been anything shown or written about KZ2 an it seemed like it just feel of the map. all the talk was about COD4,haze,UT3, halo 3,Drakes an so on, no KZ2.

[Not-A-Stalker]

Why is this story at 1080 degrees? Theres only 2 screenshots and both are from the E307 trailer. :|

If there were like 20 new screenshots then sure, but not for 2 old ones...

[Bits-N-Kibbles]

haha...

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Speaking of B&W movies, this reminds me of those old movies they try to colorize but still looks somewhat B&W. Hmm... why do all the "high profile" PS3 games like MGS4 and Killzone look so B&W? Could it be the PS3 is lacking somewhere? Just like my avitar says "PS3 the way it was meant to be played" LOL on an old 1950s tv set.

[sonyfanonly]

LOOK AT MY BOTTOM POST OR WHAT DO YOU DO POST THIS sh^T AND LEAVE LOL WHAT A XBOT

[digger18]

I think the PS3 colours in games like this look more realistic, not like the super high cartoony colours the 360 games put out

[thereapersson]

MGS 4 and Killzone 2 (thus far) are like this because the developers chose the look for the game. Why does Gears of War, the most defended game on the 360, lack all around color as well? It's just the style of the game that the developers chose. It's also why Unreal Tournament III has a wider color palate than gears.

PS3 games look drab and washed out, huh? Oh look - Uncharted and Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction have showed up to the party and they are waving a nice "hello"!

[Wii60_FTW]

This game has sh1t for next-gen shaders. Thankfully their overuse of motion blur somewhat hides this. And before you sony drones freak out on me, I speak from experience as a shader artist and 3d animator, and I also plan on buying this game. So chill out, n00bs.

[sonyfanonly]

uh oh you know what i smell i smell FEAR IN THE XBOTS THEY KNOW THIS GAME WILL KNOCK THEIR PRECIOUS GEARS OF WAR ON ITS ASS WHEN THIS GAME HITS AND THOSE OF YOU WHO THINK THE GRAPHICS AINT GOOD IN KZ2 THEN I SUGGEST YOU STOP LOOKING AT HALO3 SCREENSHOTS AND LOOK AT THE REAL DEAL KZ2 FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[UltramanJ]

If you think Guerilla games is as good as Epic. You shouldn't bash Gears of War so much, because Gears of War is only a 360 exclusive for the first two games. The third could very well be on PS3 as well as 360, which would be awesome for everyone.

[stuntman_mike]

i really cant wait for this game.

[KakashiDX]

I'm starting to think that this is the only level they have finished. Why the hell is there no other info? Cmon sony.

[Relientk77]

sexy killzone 2 graphics > Halo 3

[Relientk77]

sexy Killzone 2 graphics > Halo 3

actually u can add Ratchet and Clank Future, Uncharted in front of that too

I can do better actually Gears of War and Bioshock... their own games OLDER THAN HALO 3 have better graphics

[MvC Xtrm]

From what I see here, COD4 looks far better. The dull colors and smudgy edges makes this game look bland. I thought this game was supposed to knock it outta the park, graphically? Hey, I'm sure the game as a whole will look better in motion but I'm just being as honest as I can here. Not impressed opposed to the status and hype this game is receiving.

[zonetrooper5]

Different art styles are different. Halo, Gears and Killzone all aim and have different art style. Yes the graphics of Killzone 2 are good but not the best I've seen, its pretty much a coridoor shooter like alot of the shooters nowadays but with great graphics. Now before you jump on me and tell me to stop being an Xbot, please shut the hell up.

I want this game to try and do something great, to get the gameplay balanced, right and plain fun to play. Like Halo and Gears. I do love great graphics, but if this game is crap, gameplay wise then the game overall is crap. I'm going to be waiting for the review scores or if I get into the Killzone 2 Beta then I will decide how good it is. The only hype around killzone 2 is the graphics and thats it.

[QuackPot]

The graphics adds to the hype.

Because..

-- Killzone(ps2) was a good game but not great. It had obvious flaws(graphic glitches, repetitive play, no vehicles, inconsistent AI).

-- Killzone(ps2) was made by a relatively new developer(GG) with little experience if any, programming for the Ps2

-- The Ps2 was not a particularly powerful machine - the xbox was superior H/W

We are hyped about KILLZONE 2 or KILLZONE(ps3) because:

++ all the problems can be easily fixed - no graphics glitches, better AI, vehicles & hopefully less repetitive play. You would be an idiot to think GG won't fix the OBVIOUS flaws.

++ GG now has programming experience now and is getting significant help from Sony and other developers.

++ The PS3 a powerful machine - easily the superior next gen H/W.

Now do you understand the hype? If GG had the experience and quality control of Naughty Dog or Insomniac with programming for the Ps2, then Killzone would have been a truly killer game. But they didn't and it wasn't.

This year we've seen impressive glimpes of how GG are slowly but surely IMPROVING the original game - turning it from a good game to a great. And we still have a year to go before the likely release of Killzone...ps3.

KILLZONE will pawn all without a doubt.

But I'm still picking LBP for GOTY 2008 lol.

[FourtyPoundSteak]

y cant everyone just forget about the differences between systems and just admit that when a game looks good, it looks good.

[sak500]

By the time it will be released we would be playing Halo4, Gears2, COD5. So this will turn out to be a turd.

[Tsukasah]

could be better, it was too dark for me but i know these are just screenies... screenies never do a game justice... except in EA's case.... >.>

I need more to determine if it's been polished up any.... so far by what i've seen it looks great, could be brighter.. I dont mean more colorful, just brighter is all. I have bad eyes :( Anyways, nothing some adjustments cant fix (on the TV)

And above: It will be released next year, I dont see any delays... considering it's been in development since 2005 or earlier... but possibly 06(we all know how sony is) Either way, Halo 3 was the end of all halos besides halo wars wasn't it? Gears 2 wont be released till 09.. COD5 wont be released till 2010.... this games only competition is FFXIII and MGS4...I dont know of any 360 games coming out in spring of 08 that will be good.. so please, shut the f@ck up sak.. and why the f@ck do you care anyways? This is a PS3 thread, leave it alone...

[power of Green]

This game has always been over hyped; Way over hyped from the texture problems I'v seen in the video's they look average from afar but look like blocks upclose reminding my of games one the NES. No real HDR of Bump mapping this has a painted Uncharted cartoon touch to it. MEH.

I'd rather deal with stellar textures laoding late in pop-ins than to have ever inch of the game look alright from afar but look like sh*t up close KZ2 look pathetic upclose its like everythings painted.

[IPlayGames]

Instead of buyin both consoles so you can experence the best of both worlds. You have to sit here and bash out of jealousy.

This game is over hyped??? Not like every M$ exclusive isnt.

It looks cartoony??? LOL.

Rather deal with loading tex. LOL
When Mass is done loading it doesnt look that much better. That game was over hyped graphicly at least. (Gameplay is hella fun)

[DJ]

but what it does offer over Forward Rendering (which is what every other game on the market uses) is the ability to have hundreds of shadow casting emitters (lights) that are both dynamic and use inverse-distance-squared computations (behaves like real-world rather than videogame lighting). The Killzone 2 gameplay footage from E3 was so impressive because of the lighting quality, particle effects, and eerily realistic animation.

They chose Deferred Rendering for one of the game's rendering engines because Forward Rendering only allows for two or three dynamic lights before the framerate starts grinding to a halt (has to do with the use of multiple texture layers, as well as numerous shader effects). This is why so many titles still rely on baked lighting, such as Ninja Gaiden 2.

The team isn't all that hyped about using HDR, but since Killzone also has a Forward-Rendering engine it might be used on transparency surfaces. Right now they're trying to get realtime radiosity though, which is far and beyond anything being attempted on rival platforms. Radiosity is strictly used in CG Effects because it requires so much computational power, so if they can pull it off then it'll really show what the PS3's made of.

Bump Mapping is horrible, by the way. It only adds false detail from certain angles, and is no substitute for actual geometry. Most games use either Parallex Shaders or Normal Mapping instead.

[pwnsause]

hey i know a game that looks cartoony and it is way over hyped. its called halo, i never knew the battlefield was so colorful. have you everseen war movies, they look dull as its suppose to be a war does not look colorful. if KZ2 has a dull color then in what category do you put a game like gears of war at, mmh, i say dull as it is suppose to be, like a cinematic war movie.

[goldenxbox]

It is time to send the Gamespot a real message!!!

312+ and counting now at the petition!! !!
http://www.petitiononline.c...

We don't want anymore biased fake reviews, no more regardless of what system you own you must agree by now !!

Everyone tell people to stop buying DELL, they make garbage PCs anyway !!!

We broke our own records, lets get the Gamespot kicked right out of Metacritics !!

[jazzmanb]

game does not look that great graphically, low res textures and dark contrast do not create atmosphere...this game well hopefully be above average,but it wont be a great game,that i can guarentee....

[CaliGamer]

You can only guerentee something if you can spell "GUARANTEE" Nostradamus. I hope you know what seasoning goes well with foot when you have to insert that in your mouth.
D@mn kids, where are the parents when you need them, you should be studying or going to girl scouts or something, not tainting my gaming news with your f#cked up spelling and jacked up A$$ logic.
Go get a dictionary man, they are cheap but oh so helpful.

[IPlayGames]

I know its hard for XBots to understand when u bring a last to game to a next gen console your make the game better.

Have you played any PS2 to 360 games?? they are all horrible

PS2 to PS3 look and play like true next-gen games.

KZ1 has nothing to do how this game will play.
It just affects the story.

[JoelEH]

You 1 system lovers are crazy. The game looks awesome so quit hating!. And for the Sony Hardcore freaks. writing retarted stuff about the xbox fans (xbots) like you would like to call them. Your all crazy hating on each other. Xbox games are awesome and fun. PS3 games are also going to be awesome and fun. All this retarted hating on each other for no reason. each console has their awesome lineup of good games. Thats why I have both consoles. If you can't afford to buy both and enjoy both consoles with their own awesome futures, then I'm sorry for you. You can sit here and write a bunch of retarted hating messages toward each other. But this game looks good early production, looks like COD 4 so far. hopefully it gets better!

[Bits-N-Kibbles]

Some people can't afford more than one system, and some can't afford one at all, so rubbing it people's faces is a b1tch thing to do... I feel sorry for you because you're a d1ck.

[Kareshi_X]

I Use 2 Play KZ 1 On my Ps2 Yep it Was A Good Game But The Hype I Felt At First, Disappeared Very Fast, Same For My Friends When we were playing Multi-player.To Make KZ 2 a Masterpiece that Can Compete With a 360 Title Like GOF Would Be Something Really Innovative That will Suck Me In For More Than a Few Weeks.

[PStriple703]

This game is bot's worst nightmare, they hope it fails lol

[power of Green]

http://www.psu.com/media/ki...
lol

[killing_Art]

Its just a game,
but jesus Christ, i cant belive the espectation of this game, look at the reaction that 2 old screens causes , 180+ comments both positive from sonyguys and negative from xbox fans, more negatives by the way.
anyway, im exited too, i cant wait for this game.

[Spike47]

trying to find the only bad thing in a game with graphics that either matches or beats crysis in graphics.

you xbots just mad jealous.

[Spinitus]

lol this the game that gets xbots blood boiling.

[DJ]

And we still have people saying "Sony needs to stop spreading CG Lies. All they ever do is-...wait, that's f-ing gameplay?!!"

These are hella old. The game already sported vast improvements in the TGS build, and rest assured it's going to slaughter the competition once it hits Alpha status next summer. Holiday 2008 is going to be a showdown between Resistance 2, Gears of War 2, and Killzone 2. Damn, that's a lot of '2's.

[pwnsause]

Microsoft should be very afraid if this game delivers and takes the PS3 to the limit. I played KZ1, and yea i can say it was bad in terms of graphics and gameplay, but it had a kickass story line and a good online mode,KZ: Liberation was a great game as well and showed what the PSP can do.
now that the Playstation brand has an integrated online network, KZ2's online mode is going to be kickass, and the game itself, to look almost like the infamous CGI vid that was shown to us at E305. Hell, no one is going to think about that CGI vid. Gameplay, they got that covered.
Guerilla Games will finally deliver and they would be proclaimed as Top class developers such as Infinity Ward and Naughty Dog. That will be the ultimate slap to the face for anyone hating on this dev team and the killzone franchise.

[mighty_douche]

187 comments. KillZone is already the benchmark.

[thereapersson]

Yeah, and the funny thing is most of these idiots don't realize that they are OLD news.

This game might not have the general media hype that Halo 3 had, but it sure gets the attention of the gaming community in strange ways...

[Exia]

I just wished this game has more color instead of just grey and black. But I hope this game will just play good! :)

[Probotector]

Some retardeds here make me laugh so bad. This sh1t is nothing compared to Gears of War, a 2006 game.

It's going to be amazing to see the reactions of the blind fanboys when this game gets 5's 7's 6's and 8's all around the web as the first Killzone, because this is a M.E.D.I.O.C.R.E franchise. Live with that PStards.

[pwnsause]

smallbrain, it was mediocre because of the graphics stupid. i can see you never played killzone. stop being a stupid idiotic fanboy and go to sleep littlebrain.

[Pain]

Looks good!

And lol lots of funny xbots disagree'ing like mad.

Must drive them Nuts @ a Beter FPS's on "Another" console looking beter then almighty OLD RROD box

[IQUITN4G]

K2 is more likely predefined(nothing wrong with that ,all FPS are) and not as exceptionally beautiful as the first E3 trailer showed it to be.

K2 looks to be very capable in the visual department and may even deliver a good shooter as well.It looks relatively close to the trailer in that in captures the mood quite well(possibly better even) and although it has a high polygon count all round in comparison to most FPS, it is still a bit crap when looking at the insane geometry of the cgi.

The trailer boasted both staggering incredible graphics and interaction not yet seen from any game so far.Interaction of this nature is beyond what software allows at this point and what will be seen from the real K2, will mostly be what we have sampled in from the ingame cutscenes.This is all entirely prescripted and particularly disapointing if you were expecting to eventually play what you saw from the trailer.While the stuff showed so far does indeed seem to show interaction, it's all canned and quite unlike the dazzling glimpse of it we all saw at E3, and of the how future PS3 games were supposed to look like.Lets be honest here, if it ended up looking that good, none of us would hesitate in getting a PS3.The fact is regardless of how very nice K2 is going to end up looking, it falls quite a bit short of the original promise.That's a fact.

K2 may well prove as a great game in it's own right but it will always be a disapointment to those wanting what they first saw of it at E3.

Disagree with this and your unable to know what is actually capable this generation or indeed the next.

[QuackPot]

Because there's about a year to go

and

about 8 months before a Beta to find and sort out any problems

and

the trailer and demo shown 4 months ago was pre-Alpha - yes, that's pre-ALPHA.

I was initially disappointed that the rocket trails, explosions and flaming Intruder weren't all that good but again.....pre-alpha.

I was also disappointed that you couldn't shoot at the Helghast below from the Intruder like the E3 2005 but again....pre-alpha.

I was also disappointed that AI left a lot to be desire but the difficulty was set on God Mode and ... pre-alpha.

There's plenty of time left to get these sorted as well as all the other problems with the first game.

So disappointed Killzone fans? I don't think so.

PS. I remember how fast problems were fixed with Uncharted. That game didn't have a BETA. And we all know how well it turned out. Killzone will get a BETA and a lot of support from Sony to ensure it will be a hit.

[CaliGamer]

From what they have shown of the in game footage, explain where the actual game has failed in comparison to the target render in terms of interaction, keeping in mind that they have only shown one level of the game and we have no idea what they might be cooking up for the rest of the game.
Just an honest question though I doubt I will get a reply, here is hoping for one tho.

[IQUITN4G]

That's not my point of course

[QuackPot]

"...K2 may well prove as a great game in it's own right but it will always be a disapointment to those wanting what they first saw of it at E3..."

That was my point.

[Mr_Showtime1]

it would be a totally different story you would have all the xbox folk on here claiming that these awesome graphics were the xbox and not ps3 or that there uncles friends cousin who works at guerilla told him that the 360 was the lead platform or something stupid anyway!

[CaliGamer]

The reactions to this game. There are like 3 or 4 of the bottom feeding 360 trolls who have all the negative comments about this game recycling the same argument about the last KZ and the dark look etc, etc, etc.

This game really strikes a cord with the haters for some reason, just like MGS4 does, it represents something that contradicts the lie that they have been living under for the past 2 years, that Sony would not strike back at some point. The sad part is that KZ2 will be the continuation of something that we have seen begin this year.

Consider this, game play is a design issue that is completely up to the individual developer, and as such has nothing to do when judging the superiority of a console, at lease between the 360 and the PS3 so that is a non issue.

Graphics are the most readily identifiable way of telling if one console has more power under the hood than another.

Honestly, visually, I think the PS3 began leaving the 360 in the dust after Lair, then R&C, and now Uncharted. Some might say that other games rival these in certain ways visually, but certainly I don't think anyone can say that a game on the 360 looks better than any of these games in their respective categories.

These are old screens, and anyone can just go to Gametrailers.com or PSN and download better footage of this game and see how excellent it looks. I could say it looks better than anything out thus far, but you can just go and look at the many impressions from industry professionals about this years E3 footage to see for yourself as some of you like to do.

Its really sad to see so many haters on here hating on a game that encompasses everything they should love as gamers. Even when the Halo 3 beta was released and the graphics were sub par, I still waited until the final game was released to make any judgement of the game. KZ2 has shown that they delivered on the graphics above and beyond any REALISTIC expectations and still there are these predictions of doom.

But we all know how you bots feel in your heart when you see anything about this game, you begin to feel that empty feeling in your stomach, like when you broke up with that girl that you realize was a great girlfriend, or when you realize you dropped $20 on the floor of the bar when you were drunk, you feel like you have made a grave mistake. So to validate that you post to make others feel just as bad, but as all PS3 fans on this site will tell you, this game in motion looks sick.

My decision on what console to buy was based on performance, not hype and false loyalty. For 2 generations Sony has provided quality gaming, for PS1 they were against an established opponent in SEGA and came out on top. MS cut and run and left THOUSANDS of consumers holding the bag and LIED about continued support for the first XBOX, and some of you have the nerve to call PS3 fans Lemmings? It seems to me some of you 360 fans are suckers for punishment, only a battered wife shows such loyalty. If I had a car and it broke down after the first time I used it, or a year down the line I couldn't find any parts to fix it I would never buy that brand of car again, but thats just me.

Your argument about the PS3's lack of games is so ridiculous (I don't hear it too much from much of the trolls anymore), its like the parent with the 2 year old child bragging to the parent of the 1 year old that their child can count up to 15. Of course it can, its a year older. But if you look at that same child's development at the same stage as the 1 year old you realize that the 2 year old might be retarded because the one year old can already count to 12, not quite 15 but disturbingly close. LOL.

I'm being a bit flippant, but my point stands that the the PS3 is on the rise and is in a better position WITH COMPETITION than the 360 was BY ITSELF being released a year early.

I have been a gamer and an industry watcher for a very long time, and my hunches about consoles have rarely been wrong.

The FACTS are that the PS3 provides the best mix of performance(>360) and innovation(> or = to Wii) that you can find in one machine, a honest assessment to the 360 in the corresponding time of its life cycle will show that it is stronger in terms of quality games and upcoming games than the 360 was. Past performance favors Sony closing the gap than MS widening it before they move on to the next Xbox.

The 360 is a very good machine, and SOME games it has are compelling, but be real, a head start is what you make of it, and in some ways MS hasn't used it wisely with system failures and very little innovation in their gaming lineup. If this is a race, MS fans are assuming that they are running a race against an asthmatic, anemic with a weight problem, but they are wrong, Sony is a well toned athlet with past training, and that preparation makes them ready for hurdles and difficulties and they are catching up with every passing season.

I said it once and its already coming to pass. In the next few months, there will be a lot of new accounts popping up on this site, people you have never seen. They will be tremendously pro Sony and will be very vocal about it, these will not be new contributors, but the reformed 360 trolls who were lucky enough to save up for or get a PS3 for the holidays.

The least that should logically be done by the 360 trolls is to admit you are holding onto faith and not actual facts, because this far MS has proven nothing about their competence as a gaming company. He!!, as we can see just by the footage of KZ2, the real next gen battle has yet to begin. 1 year of good performance is nothing compared to Sony when you add up the dominance Sony had with PS1 and 2.

Sony is the ruling king, MS is the lord of an obscure land seeking recognition on the mainland. MS needs to prove longevity, while Sony just needs to prove that it still wants it bad enough and with games like this and hardware that is arguably superior, I think Sony's job is attainable and likely. So my question to MS is what have you provided to the gaming community to deserve the top spot now? Do you support your products in any circumstances? Do you make sure to look out for the consumer and make sure they get a quality product? What do you do?

*All these comments, harsh as they may be, have a high degree of logic backing them up, though I believe my comments are solid, I embrace an opposing logical argument.

There really are some goons here at N4G

I enjoyed the first Killzone for it's believable atmosphere and a story that had me fairly gripped.K2 may well end up as a great FPS, maybe even the next benchmark in FPS gameplay(that much is less unlikely but you never know) but the game will never measure up to how exciting the trailer looked.

That's just obvious

I would sell my 360 in a flash if i got to play the K2 trailer, because that looks more exciting than anything yet seen in gameplay terms.Good luck to the devs trying to match the quality set not only in regards to how amazing everything looked but also how far more advanced a game like this would need to be before it was close to the astonishing E3 showing

Movement and interaction is one key thing people seem to be forgetting as the very reason the trailer looked so damn great.The downgrade in graphical promise is perfectly fine for me to handle if it's game manages to matches a promise showed to us at the time.

What i'm actually saying is K2 will most probably be rather good, but failing to deliver what is essentially impossible for any dev at the moment - the trailer is beyond what is possible for devs due to software not being capable.Software is key and joining animations etc are in there infancy.It's certainly not impossible to see that exact experience right now, were it not for the fact that we wont until more of these parts come together.

Not much of a Sony fan, but I actually liked Killzone despite its problems. Hopefully this doesn't do the LAIR.
