I've used this line before, but, my boxers remain un-rocked... I hate to be negative, but why the hell doesn't it look better than Gears of War? Killzone 2 looks good, ****s on Halo 3 in terms of graphics, but once again, it's a far cry from what we were promised at E3 in 2005... How can Sony Justify $1000 for the PS3, when the games are below what's been on 360 for ages? Other than just saying "it's got Bluray"?

Oh, Callan, you can tell the first screen is done in the Killzone 2 engine, just a really old build of it.

IGN seem to think there is more polygonal detail in everything and more detail in the environments with improved lighting.

I'd both games do some things better than eachother, but i reckon Killzone 2 looks better than Gears of war personally and these screenshots were taken moving.

Yeah i know, but you wouldnt think so now.

Lojl, how you can think that killzone 2 is "below" 360 games is pretty strange, i think it s**ts over anything 360 has.

*im not trying to start a war here either* thats just what i think.

No it's just, those environments are nothing special... and it's going on about motion blur in the press release, motion blur isn't anything special, by anyones standards really... it doesn't even have HDR lighting, at least it wasn't mentioned in the press release, (and it sure as hell doesn't look like it in the screenshots), which IMO isn't very good at all... as most of 360 games do have it. And motion blur is just used to cover up bad texturing... but then again, I haven't seen it in action so who knows.

what about Black 2?
Guerilla will still put the finishing touches into Killzone 2.

Seriously guys, I dont reckon any FPS will match Killzone 2 from a visual perspective in a long long time.

Black 2 will be good Stonecold, but i dont reckon it will look aas good, not with the budget involved to create Killzone 2.

All it's really got going for it is the animations... I think once we see this in 720p, it won't look all that impressive due to the amount distortion and blur effects used... and you don't really get a close look at anything, really... that's what I hate about Sony, they never show anything as it really is.

You played the Blacksite demo, right Callan? The character models squash these... then look at Unreal Tournament 3, and tell me Killzone 2 is better

I have played the Blacksite demo man, yes that looks great also i just dont think they look as good as Killzone 2 i seriously dont.

The Unreal Tournament 3 also looks stunning but looks slightly more cartoon to me. less gritty then Killzone 2.

Both UT3 and Blacksite look good, no denying that, but the atmosphere, facial animation and motion of the characters really hit me about Killzone 2.

Did you watch the trailer at gametrailers?

The thing that bugs me more than anything is the fact that still, even after seeing a trailer, no one has any idea what this game is really going to look like... Other than the dudes at the start, they don't show anything for more than five seconds... and I hate how heavily distorted it is, I want to see some actual gameplay... like as in, someone playing it for a few minutes, rather than a few small cuts of someone playing it... There are too many cinematic effects in that trailer, they're covering something up... and Sony do have quite a large reputation for relying on smoke and mirrors to sell their games. Of which I think this is a classic example of.

I highly doubt they are covering anything up, yeah maybe with the first trailer back in E3 2005, but not twice,not two years after the first trailer, this is ingame, its been previewed now. It doesnt matter if they only show cuts of someone playing it, its still in game, besides what they showed was said to be the first level of the game, so the amount of cinematics is probably because its the first level, opening the action.

This is ingame no doubt, i just want to see more now.

iddqd have u read the review ign did on it? at the showing it started like the trailer does but when they land the game started and a developer dude went through 15 mins of it actually playing it live and all the reviews still talked highly of it. their not hiding nothing. its not even a beta yet.
some games havent even come close at their beta stage compared to this. oh well! craps on resistance to.

the blood!!

Man, I wasn't saying it's not in game, I'm saying that you don't really get to see anything... just lots of clever editing techniques and cinematics. You don't get a good hard look at anything. Most developers, when they want people to have the impression that the game IS very good to look at, will show undistorted, high res, well lit pictures of what the game does really look like while you're playing it. Think Doom 3, Gears of War, F.E.A.R, Half-Life 2... all those games used bright, high resolution screenshots that looked exactly like the game as it was being played... they didn't disappoint graphically. The Killzone trailer looks like one big optical illusion to me.

*edit*
Actually, Mr.Cookie Monster, I've read a few impressions of that demo, and lots of people are still saying Gears is better... and if Guerrilla really wanted us to be impressed, they'd show us that demo, wouldn't they?

You have to remember though, the screenshots posted on IGN arent still shots, they were moving while photographed.

Hopefully a demo is released soon.

Me neither really... but think about what I said, if this game was impressive, they'd have no excuse not to show it straight up, like most games, without all cinematic effects...

I see what you are trying to say man, but they are not going to show too much just because its in high demand, some developers dont show anything until the game is a month from being released, they even said they will show more very soon in this interview after the E3 2007 trailer

But we will soon see whatever happens.
