First Killzone 2 image shown

By Robert Purchese Published 10 July, 2007

Single-level demo at E3.

The first in-game image for Sony's PS3 blockbuster Killzone 2 has appeared on the Internet.

The USA Today website hosts the image, which is apparently taken from the single-level demo being shown to press tonight at E3. Eurogamer's Tom Bramwell will be there, so expect our thoughts as soon as humanly possible.

Killzone 2 was one of the first titles shown alongside the PlayStation 3 two years ago at E3 2005. The lavish and eye-popping trailer had press salivating, but unfortunately concrete details were hard to come by.

However, Sony is still excited about its potential, and described it to USA Today as a "hardware mover" designed to show off exactly what the new machine can do.

It's a futuristic first-person shooter in development at Guerrilla Games that takes place on the alien planet of Helghan. Here you and your squad will be up against the mutated human Helghast race who have a few tricks up their sleeves - chiefly the ability to harness the power of the weather.

Killzone 2 will have multiplayer support and is expected sometime next year.

Keep your eyes peeled for our E3 coverage this week.

    I wonder how much bullshit this one image will trigger in this very comments thread!

    Let's see!

  • cyacomini #2 5 years ago

    looks like F.E.A.R ;)

  • Darren #3 5 years ago

    Well that's not a whole lot to comment on really... reminds me a little of F.E.A.R. but grittier and more detailed. I'll need to see the game in action though to get a better impression of it, a single (and somewhat dull) screenshot just isn't enough!!! LOL

  • manic_mouse #8 5 years ago

    The real next gen.

  • Shadar #9 5 years ago

    Grey, grey, grey, drab, undetailed textures, poor character model with lots of visible jagging, apparent edge-aliasing, no outdoor environments, noise filter ...

    There's not much to go by here. I'd love to be able to say it looks like shit, but it just wouldn't be fair. Even though this screenshot looks like shit.

  • Monkey_Puncher #10 5 years ago

    Me thinks they should choose their screenshots better, if this really is the best they had to offer.....there's going to be a blood bath

  • kangarootoo #11 5 years ago

    Not a very good choice of screenshot at all. Could maybe be categorised as the still version of a teaser trailer I suppose.

  • Darren #12 5 years ago

    That's the thing though isn't it... why release such a dull screenshot as a teaser, why not an action scene set outdoors with more than one other person onscreen?

  • DUFFKING #13 5 years ago

    I'm probably jumping the gun based off one image:

    I'm sorry, but that looks absolutely fucking nothing like that 'OMG THIS IS REAL GAMEPLAY' trailer from last years E3.

    It's too dark, and the texturing is shit, low detail rubbish.

    Surely this can't be the best they can do with the PS3? Games like Rainbow/Oblivion have already shown the machine can do way better than this, but if this really is as good as Killzone is going to look the developers should be shot.

    With any luck it will be Far Cry syndrome and will have excellent outdoor areas but rubbish indoor ones.

    The next images we see had better be a huge improvement :/

  • Darren #14 5 years ago

    By the way people commenting about aliasing and jaggy shadows are viewing the full-size image right and not the scaled down shot? Doesn't look to have either of those issues to me when I view it as intended... ;)

  • Steroyd #15 5 years ago

    weeeeeeee

    All aboard.

  • DUFFKING #16 5 years ago

    I don't see any real jaggies either Darren, but Chaos Theory had better looking shadows than the one on the wall behind the enemy.

  • Steroyd #17 5 years ago

    I thought the graphics were not were absurd in the trailer but the Animations and stuff?

    /confused

    Oh hell Halo went through the same thing so....

  • drumbaby #18 5 years ago

    Those shadows are breaking the deal...They're the most important thing in gaming today, and that's a fact.

  • septimus #19 5 years ago

    Damn. Looks like ass.

    Hope this is a leaked alpha and not from the demo level. Beyond hope I guess.

  • sport #20 5 years ago

    anything can look good in the dark - i'll wait till the level demo

  • kangarootoo #21 5 years ago

    @Darren

    Oh I agree. But then teaser trailers for films are often annoying pointless as well. I guess if stuff is going to be shown at E3 they don't want to jump the gun with anything posh looking.

    As it happens I've heard some very good things about this from reliable sources, so I don't think we shall be short of eyecandy when something worth seeing comes along.

    Thats is sarcasm right? Right. Good.

  • DUFFKING #24 5 years ago

    Maybe it's a trap?

    (cue ackbar image)

    Some kind of image to make everyone think 'oh it's shit' then post a real image and everyone suddenly thinks 'ZOMG.'

    Hopefully. When's it coming out anyway? I presume there's plenty of dev time left for them to polish up the graphics. I remember the opening levels of Killzone on the PS2 being pretty good stuff, so if they keep that style then it'll be a decent game, but I hope this isn't any inclination of the final graphics.

  • DUFFKING #25 5 years ago

    "If you increase the brightness of the image, you will see that the shadow on the back wall is actually a hole. Probably the destructible environment's they were talking about."

    Are you sure? In the 'left arm' of the shadow you can clearly see the wall texture continues into the darker area of the shadow.

  • Tomnd #26 5 years ago

    why is everyone whining about the shadows and not the horrible smudgy textures?

  • Yossarian #27 5 years ago

    the low detail of the textures is the most disappointing thing. still, it's ridiculous to be judging anything on this point based on one shot.

  • AaronTurner #28 5 years ago

    No he's right, it's a hole. A HOLE LOTTA SHIT LOLLLLL!!!1

  • Steroyd #29 5 years ago

    A very dark shot at that.

  • sanctusmortis #30 5 years ago

    It's, um...

    An image. That I'm sure of.

    I sense the sudden disappointment of a ton of hopeful people clutching PS3 pads.

  • agparrot #31 5 years ago

    lol.

    come on - this isn't news yet! Let's wait for some proper images.

  • The-Bodybuilder #32 5 years ago

    Shadows are meh, and the textture's on the wall seem heavily pixelated (a bit harhs, but hey, I'm not the one that made the E32005 trailer as representative of the game).

    I do feel for Guerilla though, having to (unfailry, might I add) carry the weight and pressure of the (heavy ps3), simply because sony tried to do pull the wool over our eyes again (like what they did to the dreamcast).

  • The-Bodybuilder #33 5 years ago

    Still, to be fair, it doesn't look THAT bad.

    If only that E3 05 "demo" never existed......

  • lambtron #34 5 years ago

    To be honest the shadow looks like something off of Teletext.

  • Arwin #35 5 years ago

    I almost thought you were right that it's a hole, but no, it doesn't seem like it - there are spots on the wall that continue in the shadow, so it has to be a shadow.

  • RexRunti #36 5 years ago

    To be fair this isn't a horrible image yes the textures aren't detailed enough and the shadow doesn't quite work but graphically it can slot quite happily next to current PS3 and 360 games without fuss.

    Of course if you compare it to their trailer or even Gears of War it falls short but this is one image from the demo of an unfinished game so we should all relax. Of course if Sony hadn't hyped this game beyond all proportians people wouldn't need to relax.

  • The-Bodybuilder #37 5 years ago

    @ Steroyd.

    I think I must've forgotten how good the 20005 trailer looked.

    I didn't think this in-game pic wasn't so bad, but compared to the image you provided, that's a good difference.
    Let's not even forget that the game won't have the same animation, smooth 60fps framerate, and massive detailed war like the original trailer, and guerilla have got themselves a problem.

  • captainrentboy #38 5 years ago

    I'm not going to diss Killzone 2, sure this photo is rather underwhelming, but so was Halo 3's first Campaign shot released a few days back, and I still really want that game.
    Maybe, like Bungie, they don't want to give too much away too soon.
    And the thing is months and months away anyway, so it's not like they haven't got a lot of time to work on it.
    This is one of Sony's biggest titles for next year, they really can't afford to fook it up.
    If there's an ingame trailer at E3, I'm sure it'll be good enough to make us forget this average pic.
    Edit- My God, I just defended Sony for once, I now feel all dirty inside :)

  • DUFFKING #41 5 years ago

    Yeah, it's not terrible but I'm fairly sure the PS3 can do a damn sight better than this.

  • JediMasterMalik #42 5 years ago

    I'll wait to see it in motion, but it's not that impressive to be frank. Then again COD4 looks a bit wank in screens and excellent in motion. Guess we'll see.

  • The-Bodybuilder #43 5 years ago

    What's even worse is that the backlash will mean that they will put all thier efforts into the graphics, and probably forget the gameplay (ala the first one).

    And if this is the official release, then this gives a bad indication of the rest of it. I mean, think about it, this must be THE BEST pic they could release.... a dark image with one character in a corridor with bad texturing and shadowing.

  • DrunKao #44 5 years ago

    omg *cums*

  • jiveguy #45 5 years ago

    I think it looks great! Roll on KZ2!

    Edit: I think your cms has a bug, somehow the screen has ended up in the PS3 section instead of PS2.

    Don't expect smooth framerate, or nice animation.
    It's still alpha.

  • penguin_overlord #47 5 years ago

    Why are people getting so worked up over this image? How do we know this isn't an old shot of the game that the newspaper got hold of. Killzone is being hyped so much by Sony I can't see them releasing a game that looks the biz. Motorstorm turned out very close to the original video remember.

  • Yossarian #48 5 years ago

    actually it was a small 500x300 shot Newsweek picked for an article (presumably from a bunch of shots), which GG then released at full-res.

  • GamesConnoisseur #49 5 years ago

    I really dont think they will mishandle this title which is obviously quite important to Sony.
    I enjoyed Killzone but it was quite obvious that it was no Halo killer due to the hardware limitation of PS2, this is Sony/Guerllia chance to put two fingers up at Halo franchise by being at least as good as or better.

    But bemused by the single photo, they would do far better releasing a dozen or so to give better impression, still looking forward to find out more about Killzone 2.

    Because GG said on the sony boards that this is from the level that they will show at E3.

  • Nithron #51 5 years ago

    If i was the dude responsible for releasing these images, i'd have subtly gotten rid of that massive peice of badly rendered cardboard on the left and smoothed out that shadow with Photoshop.

    This shot is from "Saturday", according to Guerilla. That's why.

  • flapps #58 5 years ago

    Not a good choice of screenshot by any means, but better to wait for the deluge of shots sure to come at E3 (and video / impressions of the demo that apparently will be there) than everyone going crazy about one single screen? Or is that just too sensible?

    Worse than that - it was a pretty rubbish game that was ridiculously over-hyped.

    Looks like history is set to repeat itself...

  • Raziel #60 5 years ago

    According to the Guerellia/Killzone forums the devs confirmed its an Aplha shot.

    Now why would they release a ugly Alpha shot 1 day before the real thing goes live?

  • JediMasterMalik #61 5 years ago

    To impress people more?

    KZ was NOT a rubbish game, it was disappointing, the universe has a lot of promise though, if made well, like the PSP game shows, I still have appropriately high hopes for this.

  • Steroyd #62 5 years ago

    If only that E3 05 "demo" never existed......

    Better to concentrate on your own expectation than the expectations of others, undoubtedly, if it wasn't the E3 trailer it would have been Halo, Gears, Haze Resistance or something else.

    I think I must've forgotten how good the 2005 trailer looked.

    That really is not very flattering. Poor Guerilla. I'm sure they're doing a fine job, but releasing screenshots like this just isn't helping them, especially considering the target renders and the debacle of Killzone 1's pre-release publicity.

    it's no good looking at this screenshot without the special 4D glasses sony will provide on entrance to the exclusive preview.

  • JYM60 #68 5 years ago

    To me it looks better than the OMG trailer.

  • Triggerhappytel #69 5 years ago

    I don't think it looks that bad, but you can't exactly tell a lot from a single, dark screenshot, eh?

    Hopefully there'll be some gameplay footage later in the week.

    oh I dunno... I thought it was pretty close to be honest. it had more a more dramatic edit back at E3 but the final game looked f'ing close. motorstorm doesn't show off texture quality but it has tons of shit going on at once and leaves a pretty good visual impression.

  • Monkey_Puncher #76 5 years ago

    Guerilla are an average-poor developer, should we really be expecting much from them?

    Their back catalogue contains such gaming wonders as Tiny Toon Adventures: Dizzy's Candy Quest, Rhino Rumble, Black Belt Challenge, Shellshock: Nam '67, Killzone.

    Not exactly the pedigree needed to make a AAA system seller is it?

  • GamesConnoisseur #79 5 years ago

    Come on, Yossarian and Lambtron it was not that bad! Sure if not to your taste, then to each his(/her/it) own.

    Sure it got 5 out of 10 from EG, but over at metacritic got 70 out of 100 averaged score. I know it no classic and great fault of Sony for hyping it to be halo killer.

    Motorstorm was hyped at E3 05 along with Killzone 2, Motorstorm is now quite a respectful title (though agree certainly not like that vid made it to be) and I am certain that Killzone 2 will not be as horrendous as it is being made out. The only question is how good it will be? Enough to better Resistance and take the crown as best FPS on PS3 or just another enjoyable but not classic shooter?

    I do not make judgements on unreleased title or basing it on just ONE bleeding photo!!

    I didn't say it was flat-out bad, or terrible, just that it wasn't particularly good or noteworthy, especially after all the hype surrounding it. that Sony and/or the media positioned it as anything close to a Halo-killer was absurd, and actually did the developers and their game a disservice.

    Not a great shot, but it does have potential. For the fanboys that are saying that it's going to be crap, without even seeing the game in action, it would be in your best interest to hold your tongues until AFTER E3 because:

    The first thing everyone is going to do is compare Killzone's graphics to the trailer in 2005.

    The second thing everyone is going to do is compare Killzone's graphics to Halo 3.

    Now as for the first thing, I admittedly doubt it.
    As for the second thing.......

  • captainrentboy #91 5 years ago

    Leshin, going from this pic and the pic of ole Master Chief and the mountain that emerged last week (The only two bits of evidence we have at the moment with regards to each game's Campaign)
    I'm quite happy to say that Halo 3 looks better, graphically, at the mo.
    But like you said, we'll see how it all is come Thursday.
    Anyway, I didn't think Bungie were showing off any Halo 3, bar maybe multi-player. Has a trailer for single player been announced somewhere?

  • Kenshin001 #92 5 years ago

    Either it is poor quality because it was a resized or some GG developers are seriously panicking now. I know MotherH from GG said to be patient before passing judgement, so here's hoping it only gets better. The hype/hate train has almost reached terminal velocity on Internet forums everywhere.

  • JediMasterMalik #93 5 years ago

  • TonyAlmeida[CTU] #94 5 years ago

    You guys have no clue what's going on here do ya...

    This screen has been intentionally leaked by GG and Sony, and is indeed from KZ2, the joke behind is, is that it is from a gameplaycap where the player looks at a poster of Killzone 1-PS2...

    It is done intentionally to mislead everyone, but also to maximise the difference with the real screenshot and movies that are released tomorrow. It's a wellknown marketing trick to first lower expectations and underwhelm, and then wow the audience with badass looking stuff...

  • Walshicus #97 5 years ago

    @TonyAlmeida[CTU]

    You're wrong. That is a rumour created by someone photoshopping a wider angle shot of that as a poster on a wall. Look at the top right of the original and then the top right of the original's boundary on the photoshopped image - notice the poster straps missing on the original?

    Still, if you want to cling to false hope...

  • Kenshin001 #98 5 years ago

    @TonyAlmeida[CTU]

    So far we have a mirror, a poster and now someone on Neogaf is trying to claim the shadow is actually a hole in the wal, loll. One thing I will say though when the screenshot's brightness is enhanced it looks a lot better as the detail becomes apparent. Can not fathom why they would preview this game with pre-pre alpha shots either. Anyway, see what happens.

  • ronuds #100 5 years ago

    A very curious choice of screen shots. At least they're not trying to hide anything because that screen certainly doesn't make the game look like anything spectacular as did the E3 showing.

    But if this is the game they're touting will "truly show off the ps3's hardware" then they should think about bringing a little more to the table than this, very unimpressive, showing.

  • Waldo #101 5 years ago

    Kind of hard to judge from just one small screenshot; then again, I've misplaced my magnifying glass.

  • Xerx3s #102 5 years ago

    but so was Halo 3's first Campaign shot released a few days back,

    Erm, oh?

    KZ was NOT a rubbish game, it was disappointing, the universe has a lot of promise though, if made well, like the PSP game shows, I still have appropriately high hopes for this.

    Maybe but with 5/10 scores it most definitely wasn't decent. If they manage to do more of a liberation they will be on the right track in making a decent game.

    One of the Killzone guys says that the lightsource in this picture is a muzzle-flash. So epileptics beware! ;)

    Ermmm...isn't that normal in every fps since doom?

    Anyway, let's give gorilla the benefit of the doubt. Liberation was a pretty decent attempt and shows that they are learning. Sony wants this to be good so all chances are that it might actually be good.

  • Steroyd #103 5 years ago

    Maybe but with 5/10 scores it most definitely wasn't decent. If they manage to do more of a liberation they will be on the right track in making a decent game.

    B-b-b-but Metacritic puts it at 70.

    I can see Jesus in the shadow.

  • captainrentboy #105 5 years ago

    Xerx3s, how come you quoted a part of what I said earlier?
    I don't get it, are you saying you found that H3 screenie last week amazing, or did you find it a bit of a let down too?
    Suure the Spartan model was sexy, if a lil less detailed than the E306 trailer, but I wanted big ass explosions, and aliens leaping about :(

    @Yossarion - Have you got a link where Luke says this?

    it was in an irc chat, I don't have a log

    >"B-b-b-but Metacritic puts it at 70."

    Weren't many of the from Playstationa mags and PS websites?

  • Nikanoru #108 5 years ago

    Alpha? LOL

    You gotta be kidding me, it's been how many years now?

    The final game will look just as bad.

  • Steroyd #109 5 years ago

    Weren't many of the from Playstationa mags and PS websites?

    I dunno I know OPM gave it a 9/10, and some place i've never heard of gave it a 10. o_O

    No Playstation doesn't have enough Mags and Websites to influence stuff like metacritic.

    Wow so it doesn't look as good as a CG trailer . Boo-hoo

    It still looks heaps better than any HALO 3 screen/footage I've seen so whichever way you want to look at it's all good

  • captainrentboy #111 5 years ago

    Mastergrief, I think you could be seeing things in this Killzone 2 pic that aren't actually there, now I'm not the biggest fan of this pic here... [link url=http://www.bungie.net/projects/ha lo3/asset_popup_viewer.aspx?at=59&cc=21&item=0
    ]http://ww w.bungie.net/projects/halo3/ass...[/link]
    But it's certainly a bit more impressive than the one in this news item :/
    And let's face it, so it should be, one's mere weeks away, whereas one's out at some point next year.

    One word. Self shadowing.

    Ok that was 2 words :) Nuff said case closed.

  • Verwandlung #113 5 years ago

    116 comments on a screenshot , haha plus 1

  • LetsGo #114 5 years ago

    After playing the Halo 3 beta, this already looks better ;o)

  • Jas315 #115 5 years ago

    GUYS!, this screenshot, IS A GUY POINTING HIS GUN AT A POSTER (or something similar as film footage, ect.) IN-GAME! You can even tell by it's laser beaming right in the middle! ... Why would any idiot think otherwise?... wouldn't some of you geniuses expect the Helgast to LOOK at the player?

    This small snapshot is obviously a joke on you people... Gurellia have something up their sleeve...

    Just wait until they release the trailer, where they show a poster with mediocre graphics, until the camera zooms out AND SHOWS THE REAL PICTURE!..

    Think - "Team America" & you'll get where I'm coming from.

    Just wait & see, I'll bet my balls on this.

    LOL! Low-res textures. GTFO!

  • ChocNut #117 5 years ago

    I'll have to wait until I see something moving before I judge the new KZ

  • The-Bodybuilder #118 5 years ago

    >"No Playstation doesn't have enough Mags and Websites to influence stuff like metacritic."

    They don't need to.
    A lot of fansites to do that.

  • The-Bodybuilder #119 5 years ago

    LOL @ Jas315.

    Suuuuuure.

  • ronuds #120 5 years ago

    Whomever said the screen shot was of the main character pointing his gun at an in-game poster needs to have their eyes examined.

    Definitely NOT a poster in the game.

  • SniperWolf #121 5 years ago

    crappy pic for a crappy game, why am I not surprised. Halo 3 will eat it for breakfast.

  • Monkey-Wizard-Ken #122 5 years ago

    Sony NO!
    Quickly, find some rendered screenshots :)

  • Monkey-Wizard-Ken #123 5 years ago

    @Dizzy

    Errrr?
    your being silly

    I have yet to see a source for the 720p image, the USA Today source only has the small, good looking pic. :/

    Apparently if you turn up the brightness you can see the wall. I don't have an art program on this machine to check that, though - although zooming in on the soldier does make it (especially the hoses) look rather 'painted' to me.

  • Monkey-Wizard-Ken #126 5 years ago

    But the fact remains: it’s under whelming.
    Put the 05 FMV to one side, the game doesn't warrant this amount of attention.

  • zendragon #127 5 years ago

    Doesn't look that bad actually,


    for a PS2 game.


  • L0cky #128 5 years ago

    Sorry I've got a dinner date... with rofl harris.

  • eurocloak #129 5 years ago

    Fearzone confirmed.


    PASS.
