WOW. Bugging out indeed. Really really impressive. Some parts of that fvkin looked like CGI. They added some color indeed. Gears of war not ki11lz0wn3d after all lol:D

Edit: Watched it like 3 times. In terms of graphical detail and textures, looks the same. Lighting is improved and its noticable imo and then color. They really added more color into this. The 100 enemy thing wasn't very impressive to me though. Overall still looks fvkin fantastic. A system seller if i ever saw one. The heat is on Insomniac...Don't dissapoint on June 13

Tommorrow, possibly even tonight......we will have a KZ2 vs. GeoW2 screenshot comparison. And Killzone WINS.

The Tank blowning up the building alone, wins it for Killzone2.

Sorry, but it`s the truth.

1.9 - I'm not that impressed....
It looked great but it looked like more of the same. Don't get me wrong I love GOW but it just didn't knock my socks off. It got me excited to play it but It's no longer a system seller. It still looks to be 4-5 locust vs your 3 soliders. I saw the screens with 100 locust but it looks like that may just be a " i'm riding in a car and it's driving by them so I can shoot at them". I doubt it will have 100 locust all with complicated AI.

I give this trailer an 85.

It still pretty much looks like gears 1. But the thing is Gears 1 looked so good its hard to say that in a negative way lol. The action is intense as always

thewhoopimen - 596 days 20 hours ago
1.11 - Definately agree
I definitely agree with you Kevoncox on the multiple onscreen locusts. Honestly, it was exactly like the tech demo. The hoard of locusts are following a pre-determined path and are just part of the scenery that can be shot at, but little else. The graphics look more colorful and I was certainly impressed with what they've been able to improve on the dated engine, but still more of an extension or evolution compared to GOW1. I think GOW1 really did hit the 360 almost to the max, and what we are seeing is a little bit more of what they can eke out w/ improved coding.
I mean given that even after 2 years, GOW is still the benchmark for 360 games... shouldn't that be a sign?

And yes you are completely right about encounters... i still only see about 3-5 enemies per encounter.

That is because all we saw was a rail shooter. Platforms on a rail with nice blurred scenery. A Killzone 2 or Resistance 2 competitor? Hardly. As I said in the other forum, last time Gears had the football and there was not any defense on the field. They had a free open run. Now they are old hat as it looks largely the same.

And this time there are some 500Ib linebackers on the field that eat offensive linemen and running backs for breakfast.

Normally a company would come out swinging their big stick. If that is it then they will be lucky to get a base hit.

all I see is on-the-rails shooting set against a backdrop with a few locust coming at you and flying things with a set path. It looks nice but it nothing I didn't expect. Atleast we have great gameplay ?

1.19 - Thats alot of jealousy oozing out of your comment HighDefinition (please stop with the bubble cheats, It's so obvious)
Thats what we call "in your face Sony" only Microsoft slapped it there. Looks like this game has alot more action than before, lots of new weapons, enimies, and gameplay. Gears of War set the bar for console graphics, and I would think it's safe to assume that Gears of War 2 has done it again. Why does the 360 still continue to be the console of choice for online, games, media, and graphics? I mean hell, it's the oldest of the current gen systems and it still has the best games and best graphics. To bad Sony you had your chance and you blew it, maybe you will do better next round, because this is two round in a row in which you have failed to beat the Xbox in graphics.

There is no need to own PS3 fans today, this video does it for us. Go write those spin blogs PS3 fans, and Gears 2 going PS3 rumors. Have a nice weekend guys, if you can.

Nice "photo chop" Kazuo Hirai, make Gears 2 blurry and use the CGI shot from Killzone 2, that doesnt expose your insecurities one bit (rolls eyes) Nice try though (ROFLMMFAO) I'm sure it will work in a Playstation forum or over at Sony Defense Force.

360 fans shut it enjoy your exclusiv
ps3 fans get lost or buy the console

Pro :

-The new lighting
-Character instancing
-Meatshield :D (awesome addition i love it in any game its possible.)
-Brrruuuuumaks :)
-Awesome Style and graphics
-Intense action very much going on on screen
-Super sweet framerate
-Chainsaw duel
-Destructable enviro (havent been shown yet)

Contra:
-New gun doesn't look that innovativ but nice nonetheless. (gow guns were allways a letdown as they are only standard bulletspitters mostly)
-Chainsaw duels are kinda disapointing for me i thought we get a lil fight system instead of a buttonmasher minigame.
-instance horde ai looks very dull but nevermind its a nice animated (something to shoot at) element and we have yet to see how it gets implemented further.
-rail-shooting level. So far this video was a scripted ride through a background, its awesome candy for the eyes but gameplay wise you just sit there and gundown approaching enemys, i hope we see more gameplay additions. But this awefully looks like the trainride at the end of gow1 instead its at daylight and on a driller, approaching flying locust on predetermined paths, locusts you gun down on your way forward and this time a brumak instead of RAM at the end.

Please epic please i want more interactive environment couse atm this is still a coridor shooter gameplay even thought its an open outdoor enviro, i wanna DRIVE THAT MOFO the path i want it to go, at least by some part not openworld, but i would love to change the gameplay on a second playthrough at least a little.....

"use the CGI shot from Killzone 2"

haha funny to hear that from a 360hardcore couse right now you admitted kz2 looks incredible couse that is a ingame kz2 pic. nvm back on topic please

1) No point in comparing KZ2 with GeoW2... for real, they both look badass.

2) New features showed in the video are just great, the locust shield and the new chainsaw movements wowww

3) Itll be FUN as hell

4) Screw the haters, for real

1.23 - Ghoul
Hahaha I noticed Jason360 said that too. I guess that says something if this extreme 360 fanboy thought that shot of Killzone 2 was CGI when it was actually in game haha. Do your homework next time son, or you just end up looking pants-on-head retarded.

Either way, graphically it does look like a 1.5 rather than 2, but what sequels on the same console ever make THAT big of a leap from the original? Gameplay still looks pretty badass, but it woulda been cool if you could drive that thing instead of just be along for the ride. That 100 locust thing was dumb tho. They were just part of the scenery. Game looks quite fluid. Should be a good sequel.

Gears looks amazing! I have a PS3 and would love to have it on my system.

The problem is I'm not buying a system that will give me a ton of technical problems and I'll have to fork over money every year to enjoy all it's features just for one game that I think looks cool.

1.28 - @ Jason:
Don't want to contradict you or anything, but that screenshot really wass an in-game screen capture from the pre-Alpha build of the game. It's from the latest gameplay demonstration.

The fact that Killzone 2's only in pre-Alpha stage, and it's only going to get better looking, makes me happy in my pants :)

In the meantime, however, GeOW2 looks awesome. Not particularly amazing, or a huge improvement over GeOW1, but it looks great, snd should play great too.

The only thing I can complain about is, while there is tons of action going on, you don't seem to actually be involved in most of it. It's basically 3 or 4 locusts per encounter, which leaves something to be desired.

1.29 - The reason for mods @1 what did.........
What did learn the reviewers could not count to 40! lol looks good
but is it to similar to the last game and as it runs on the Unreal engine how many PS3,PC & 360 GAMES are going to be like this in the next year or so as all the systems can run the engine!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im looking forward to Killzone 2 and Gears of War 2. I have 360 and PS3 because I can't live without Gears of War and the Metal Gear series. Gears of War 2 looks good now with more color. Im glad they went that route. More game play too. Yeah it will be a hit.

The colours are the same from Killzone 2 and Gears of War 2 they're both gritty sci-fi shooters. It's just that the time of day is different but the colours are the same. Grey suit, grey vehicles, grey enemies...etc.

Dark gritty games have dark colours to depict that particular theme.

"watch and learn sony" - attention wh**e.

Anyway, I gotta say I was underwhelmed by the trailer...

UNTIL the human shield part and then the exploding brumak head sequence.

I don't care what console you own. This game will probably be on any red-blooded gamers list. Killzone and resistance can exist in the same house as Gears 2. Unless youre poor, that is.

Here is a screenshot from the game which Kazuo Hirai edited and blurred. Who out of the 22 that agreed with what to agree to the lier now?

I dare you to come forward, if you have the guts. What? I can't hear you, let me clean some of this Sony Defense Force BS out of my ears.

I wonder if any of you realy do have the guts to come forward, I would bubble up that person if they admit to it.

I even added one of Killzone 2 for a real unedited compairison :) This is going to hurt.

Jason 360, you really do seem uneducated when comparing old 2007 footage of Killzone 2, to Gears of War 2 footage released yesterday. Do us a favor, if your going to properly do a comparison, leave both pictures of Gears of War 2 there and upload the new Killzone 2 game play videos/screen shots from two days ago.

*A Tip: Spinning facts does not make you look smarter, it only makes you look like you tried harder.

Just as bad as Kaz in my opinion.

have all you guys forgotten that the original killzone sucked ass. if you put lipstick on a pig, you're still phuckin a pig. Notice that the game still keeps getting pushed back. Never a good sign. Now its in a whole other quarter and year. Its a 2009 release now. Its Resistence 2 vs GOW2 in 2008. Be happy for that, at least.

Thats pretty intense. The graphics need a little more work, looks a little better than GoW1 but they still have until November to make it better, and by then i'm sure it will look crazy.

Watch and learn? Sorry, but even tho it is xclusive *cough on pc in a year cough* it's 3rd party so you look like an idiot with that comment

@Kaz
Dude, don't blur a picture then compare it to an HD picture. That is just baiting stupid bots and giving them creedence, especially to those who have none ever (like Jason)

@Jason
Yeah, it took you 3 comments to realize that the photo was ingame (I even recognized it as the 07 gameplay, and I only watched that video once). Plus, you completely made yourself look stupid when you picked the most vibrant screenshots and compared them to the darkest, haziest, and dust-filled, and stupidest screenshot of Killzone 2 you could (which still looked DAMN good). Plus, you picked 2 pictures and only one of killzone. What's the matter? Couldn't find 2 crappy screenshots?

@naysayers
I'll be the first to admit, killzone didn't beat halo, but screw all of you who said the game sucked and had crappy AI. I loved the game none the less and the AI was awesome. WHat? only play it on Very easy, because I was in a bot match on hard and those fckers were sneaky and hard as hell. Also, the game was still awesome. so screw you guys.

BUT on topic, the game looks awesome. I might take back my GeOW 1.5 comment, but I do agree that it needs to show a less-scripted and background action level. Honestly, alot of that looked like background video, with a little interaction. I'll reserve final views for more footage, because while that was awesome, I want to see a level that is dependent on you and some buddies and not a riding along with the army level
