Killzone 2 Comments by Tom Bramwell

meh

Looks like Any Old Next-Gen FPS™ to me...

Oh dear, it's goint to be a bloodbath

lol

Hell awaits

Is there any significance to this shot being in a darkened room with generic wall textures and a single Hellgast?

This will not be pretty. Perhaps the outdoor scenes will fair better. I suppose as long as it matches gears for visuals and gameplay, then they may get off with just a bloody nose.

That shadowmap on the wall behind the baddie looks pretty bad. Very rough. Other than that, whatever....

What's that I hear?
Must be the sound of many hearts breaking.

Oh.... shit.

I can only hope this is one of those very unfortunate screenshots that don't do the game-engine any favours.

hahahahahahaha!

Why release this? This is bound to be taken out of context like any single screen of any anticipated game. People complaining about the lack of triple z xy buffermapping, doesn't have shit to do with gameplay or atmosphere.

it would make a good expressionist painting:
"splash of grey with glowing dots"

It's almost, but not quite, totally unlike how we were told it would look like from the E3 2005 Killzone 2 video.

"Why release this?"

Maybe trying to significantly lower expectations in order to exceed them?

/clutches at straws

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.

they could have gotten a better one than that surely.

It doesn't look terribkle, but it does make me wanna see it motion.

what a rubbish first screenshot to release. the detail on that model is rubbish.

I wonder what the game actually looks like running - there's apperently a demo running at E3...

WOWO

yeh look at the aliasing on the shadow, really jaggy

one screen shot can't tell u much. But the shadow on the wall is interesting

Looks like it might get as "good" a rating as its predecessor....









5/10.

Hmmm...I don't think it's that bad. Obviously there is the aliasing issue that's generally a playstation issue and the texturing is very hit and miss. This could be an early build though. I think that whole E3 2005 sony scam passing off cg as ps3 graphics is really going to hurt this game which is unfair to the devs. Hopefully it will be gears of war standard or better by the time it's released.

I do feel sorry for sony though because they really put so much effort into 'cell' and the dividend isn't paying because they paired it up with a not very powerful nvidia chip (G70). Nvidia are such rip off merchants, they did the same con with the original xbox so i'm glad m$ dropped them. Anyway, i've got a 360 so i'm pretty chuffed. ATI have done a great job with the 360 graphics chip and i'm really looking forward to all the great games round the corner.

I think the killzone screen looks worse because they put it next to the awesome bioshock screen. I think ps3 fanboys and haters should not debate this too much as NO console of this generation will output graphics like the cg demo sony used at e3 2005 for a game.

Forgot to mention the most important aspect of any game ....gameplay! :) There are some prettier screens of killzone over on ign ps3 section if anyone is interested. You youngsters eh! You want the earth and the heavens! I would much prefer a game with okay graphics and awesome gameplay than the other way around...

/Sniggers.

After all the hype and speculation, such disappointment. Killzone 2 is the new Halo 3!

@ Lukus

Neither of them are out yet. How do you know?

the textures are not that great but its probably alpha shot, why release the res so low?

EDIT: Ive found the view original button , wow that is not that great :-(

lol

Dr.Mott- I meant in terms of disappointing screenshots.

Wow, that looks exactly like the video from 2005 E3 what they tried to pass as ingame graphics. Hahahah.
Well I dont think anyone really expected it to be true, but hey: I was still expecting a lot better though, that looks horrible.

Keeps me wondering why they wanted to show this picture. D:

Looks rubbish,

oh dear...

Back to the drawing board please....

stalker, is that you?

Hmm, new screenshots... these look somewhat more decent.

hey, these don't look so bad. a tad grey perhaps.

ive just seen the trailer (and yes this shot is in it towards the end):

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/21490...

The shadows dont look bad when its moving - infact the whole thing is quite impressive. Tickle me surprised.

The new shots look a hell of a lot better. And the trailer looks alright - the opening airdrop over the city is fantastic. But once you see the actual gameplay, it all looks a bit too grey and (in a level-design way) boxy. Like they've sacrificed close-up detail for immense scope and huge levels.

It's like FEAR meets Gears!

Bit I'm still a bit "meh". Compared to Halo 3 and the innevitable Gears 2, I think it'll struggle.

hm, the other shots are a bit more impressive than the first. mainly because of the copious amounts of blur and noisy camera filters...

Lol this thread's funny.

It's like everyone starts off all "horrified" and then they all change to "Oh, cool"

Lol.

And this is the next big hope for PS3 is it?

/sniggers

i for one think it looks bloody fantastic. if guerilla can do the same job with gameplay as they did on killzone liberation (as opposed to the mediocre killzone on PS2 - but which i didn't actually mind) this should be jolly good fun. which are the new shots though? obviously the one from July was the terrible low rez bitmap shadowed one, but i can't see anything that wasn't in the trailers.

Anyone sniggering at these visuals just can't understand what they are seeing. This rendering engine REALLY is very impressive.

Looks great...

But not 'OMFG!!!-I'M-BUYING-A-PS3!!!!!' great.

Hmm, not bad. Liked the original Killzone alot. I much prefer reasonably realistic games ( in that it's Humans, Projectile weapons over Lasers and Aliens ). Plus i just bought a Ps3 along with a Wii to compliment my 360. So i need some shooters now that Halo 3.. was well.. below MY expectations.

just saw the video, thought it looked really good. and seemed very smooth, judging by the 30 seconds i saw. too bad i don't have a ps3 then....

Don't you mean grey of war?

i suggest you download this video:

This looks epic.

Kilolzone 2.

Wow, that video looks insane.
