Nextgame Gets Hands-on With Killzone 2

Saint Sony - 73 days 2 hours ago

"Considering the amount of dev time left, i am not really concerned about a couple of poor textures"

I am pretty sure it does not mean just "couple of".. there's loads and loads of texture work done in game like Killzone2. Huge environments and details need textures. If they all lack the quality, it is not that small issue.

apparently they're trying from every F**king possible angle to bash KZ2!! what's about all the hate? I didn't see anyone saying that CoD4 looks like crap when seen up close! or even the newly shown GeoW2 improved only a little bit from the 1st one(I think GeoW1 on PC with high setting looks better) in terms of graphic! or did I missed anything? come on!! nobody plays games and watching just 2 inches from the display - not even on PSP, DS or even on older GB! this is so LAME!!

I know why there is so much apparant hate for KZ2.

Its because its on the Playstation 3. If Killzone 2 was for the xbox 360 or, dare I say it, for the Wii everyone would be shoving their hands up their butts in excitement. But since hating on the Playstation 3 is so sheek nowadays some people are probably dumb enough to think that hating on the PS3 is so hip.

For realz - the current build is Pre-Alpha. Do they even have texture streaming in yet?

there were some pauses during loading/switching missions which in turn means the streaming engine is still being implemented.

I wonder why people are focusing on the campaign and not the multi plyr

In games like these (CoD4, Killzone etc.) do you actually stop to see if there are some bad looking textures? Well I do not

Exactly my point. People have started to focus too much on graphics in this gen.

Why is it ok for the whole world to rave about the graphics of a game...no excuses for that, yet when someone make a criticism or voices a negative opinion...all of a sudden graphics don't matter?

So it's ok to speak highly of something you favor...yet when someone says otherwise, it never mattered in the first place? I'm gettin' tired of that.

Enough double standards. Gamers abound need to stop taking ownership in games and snap back to reality...this is just a hobby folks...no need to defend stuff like it's family.

its not that graphic never mattered..... its just that its an AMAZINGLY STUPID THING to criticize a game's textures UPCLOSE with almost a full year of development left.... especially given that the game they are criticizing looks miles ahead of anything we've seen on CONSOLES.

IF they thought it was F*CKING ready, they would of released it now... but instead they pushed it back right.... SO WTF are those ITALIANS talking about. It's like you write a whole article explaining how GOD HIMSELF f*cked up because, 6 months into our mother's wound , our lungs arent capable of providing us with oxygen in the outside world..... its purely dumb..... if we were ready to be out, we'd have lungs, and our mothers would get f*cking contraction.

im so tired of dumbf*cks from both sides of this IDIOTIC WAR, no one can take a damn thing for what it trully is.... ITS A F*CKING WORK IN PROGRESS, and NOTHING MORE.

when MS SPENDS 50 million on DLC, it is hailed at brilliant by those same idiots, BUT WHEN SONY spend 60 million on the one of the MOST IMPROVED SEQUELS EVER, it's suffers from "GOOD TEXTURE" that is "NOT GREAT". OH REALLY? I could've i've sworn that they've just delayed the game in order to FINE TUNE IT......

on a final note, SEEMS LIKE Microsoft's pockets speaks ITALIAN now....
a feat only thought possible with MARIO and LUIGI.....

edit: also one more proof that GOD might have F*CKED UP... if you read a book at arm's length, then the words are legible, but hold the same book at 2 inches away from your eyes, then you can't make up the words anymore...so i have 3 people to blame, either GOD, my mother, or SONY. SO im going to start a damn website, this gaming journalism thing is so EASY, just pull Sh!t out of my ssa, and we've got something to criticize sony about.

but I will say this.

In all fairness, I agree with many that it's not even worth mentioning if it's as the article says...the usual graphical "fault" as they say...but the problem with people here is that they label this as a criticism. I think a more accurate term would be a simple observation. Big deal. I think most people would agree that it's there, but at the same time, probably doesn't affect them much because it's so widespread.

Ultimately my point was that I'm sick of people only listening to praise and dismissing criticism. It's ridiculous. People have emotions and thoughts for a reason. Whatever perception, notion, or feeling one person may have, there is and will ALWAYS BE an opposite side to this. No amount of false logic and pretentious reasoning can change that, yet here we all are, trying our d*mnedest to tell each other why we're wrong for having different opinions. It's ridiculous.

Like I said, to nitpick such a thing would be akin to nitpicking the Nintendo for not pushing polygons...as this seems like an inherent factor in the architecture of todays machines. Regardless, I don't think it's a crime to simply point it out, and I think it's positively ridiculous for people to keep making excuses for this game.

Pre-alpha this, 9 months left that. I heard the same bullcrap excuses for games like Lair, Kane and Lynch, NBA 2K8, GTA4(my GOD that never ended...), and many, many others. As if certain games are above criticism in the eyes of some...

I'm looking forward to this game more than likely a lot more than some of the most hardcore fanboys, I look for new info and media almost daily...but I have my head on straight, so despite my feelings, I'm not gonna sit here and make excuses and just expect that everything will be a-ok com release. All I can say is that I HOPE that things look better by release, but in all honesty, I'd have taken this game at the drop of a hat with how it looked LAST YEAR, so eat it up fanboys...all you're doing is disillusioning yourselves.

Shame to start your comment well only to trail off into the usual rubbish.

Still, how long did Gears 1 take to develop, if you factor in the time it took Epic to create the UE3?
GG have made what is probably the most advanced console engine out, that takes time.

Their is still 8 to 9 months left for this game. Please be patient, Too Human has only been in development for about 15 years.

Nothing new here considering 95% of games ever made have always suffer from such blurred textures

with envy.

Can't help but LOL when all I read is how this N4G is over run with Sony fanboys yet look at who submits this article, changes the title and who approves it. Then your same known 360 trouble makers spewing their normal nonsense in the comment area.

I just wish everyone would stop being hypocrites and admit this place, like every forum and group on the net, has more then their share of fanboys spewing crap from both sides.

Complaining about a games textures up close?
This just absolutely boggles my mind. I have yet to see a game that looks good when you zoom in. I don't think one exist and I wouldn't care or enjoy it more or less if it did.
