Killzone 2 - Hit-response

8 (14 ratings)

Featured in the CES presentation, this collection of hit response animations illustrates the variety and realism of the animation of the Helghan post shooting. Of course, we're not sure just how realistic they are, having never shot anybody, but we did watch 'In Bruges' the other night and some people do get shot in that.

Impressed.
So many shooters get this wrong for some reason, even tough hit animations can have such an impact on the experience.
It's the main reason I still have fond memories of playing Timesplitters 2 way back.

I remember the good old days when it took around 5 seconds for an enemy to respond to being shot in Goldeneye....good days!

This is the same video shown at CES. Beautiful, but the video combined with the music makes it kind of sick. It's death, it's nasty. Makes me think of nazis.

Classical music in violent scenes isn't really new guys, Just look at Battle Royale ot Clockwork Orange. That's my only gripe with this trailer, seems kind of uninspired.

Heh! I like the guy that head buts the door frame (12 secs in).

...and from a tech standpoint; really nice blending of authored animation and physics is a difficult thing to achieve, and I think they've done a really nice job here.

"Classical music in violent scenes isn't really new guys, Just look at Battle Royale ot Clockwork Orange. That's my only gripe with this trailer, seems kind of uninspired. "

true it is done alot but it does work well at times mixes the horror of war and violence with calm music.

best use ever of classical music with war is in apocolyspe now ( think thats the right film" when that sargent attacks a veitnam base just so he can go surfing.

they attack in helicopters with ride of the valkyers playing in the background sheer epic and its still classical music but more pacy and rushed. it works well.

same could be said about the countless gaming vids on youtube of violent scene mixed in with slipknot and that thats always being done over and over again.

If that's the most beautiful video you've ever seen, then you have serious problems, or you don't get around enough.

sorry i dont have the time to take in the sheer beauty of videos like roses blossoming or two people hugging or nature taking on its full flow of all the seasons,but i've noted your concern over me and i will try to study and love videos of this type.

or i could just carry on doing what i like and not give a shit about people like you hating on stuff other people tend to find decent and entertaining.

i like these games i like these videos linked to these games and im sure other people do to

so please dont give out witty useless silly comments like " you should get out more".

pretty sure you should do the same spending WAAAY to much time critising what people think of certian things.

Care to share which game trailer then counts as 'inspired' in your book?

BTW, this was on gametrailers under "Ballet of death" almost a week ago. Not the first time EG is a bit late.

Am I the only one who finds this video deeply disturbing? Yes, it's a game involving killing people, but should we really buy into the idea that by setting this activity to beautiful classical music that killing is in some way beautiful too?

When Microsoft used Gary Jules' Mad World for their Gears of War adverts, they shyed away from the violence of the game and instead focused on the atmosphere of the world you were playing in, and the music and visuals were a perfect marriage. With this video, it feels more like something a sociopath would dream up; hey look at the pretty patterns of blood flying out of his head! Look how he dances around whilst on fire! Awesome!

@Tomnol

Well, to be honest, a trailer is just as inspired as it's source material, seeing as you use footage from the game itself to make a trailer as such. So I would go for any game which looks different from norm, such as Okami, Mirrors Edge, Bioshock, Madworld, etc.

I was talking about the choice of music, learn to read.

this video is the equivalent of Gran Turismo what with the music and composition of the video. What I mean is that you know how cars are celebrated in their videos well the same is being done with the enemies that are being destroyed in this video.

Don't worry about it bozzy, people on the net take out lifes little frustrations on people in their monitor. In real life he would not say that to you, in real life he probably sucks big black cocks for a living."

No, I would definitely say it real life too. I wouldn't expect such long winded, whiney, defensive responses though. Anyway, good luck with your GCSEs guys.

It looks good some real good and satisfying death animations on show. But will the game be any good good? That is impossible to tell until we actually get to play it.

It was nice that they focused on a different type of music, but "perfect marriage"? Think about the lyrics and what they actually mean. They are very little to do with the situation in Gears, unless you take them out of context and just look at hand picked individual lines.

With as much objectivity as I can muster, I have to agree that this "Lukus" fellow comes across as a prize tit. Takes all sorts, I suppose.

It would be nice if someone could give that poor aria a rest and find another piece of music to do the same job. I can see Delibes spinning in his grave in response to all the royalties he should have.
