New cam footage of Killzone 2 single player released

Two new Killzone 2 videos have popped up following the Sony Holiday Press Event earlier this week, showcasing numerous gameplay segments from the hotly anticipated FPS sequel, including the destruction of a bridge and an assault on a Helgast tank.

Check out the two new videos below and let us know your thoughts.

[Silogon]

Looks really good. The detail in the ground is unheard of. Gears of War doesn't look this good, I don't believe so anyways.

[HighDefinition]

If you want talk TECHNICALLY, this OBLITERATES Gears.

Geow2 look GREAT, but the ANIMATIONS and FLUIDITY in KZ2 are YEARS beyond what the UE3 (Geow2) can do.

[SL1M DADDY]

The first video of that building collapsing is simply crazy and real looking! This game get's my vote for most realistic action, that's for certain.

[eric100]

both resistance 2 and killzone 2 looks and plays better than gears2.
please dont even refute that or start a fanboy war

[SL1M DADDY]

No offense man but can't we enjoy Killzone 2 video clips without having to hear silly comparisons to other games?

[lelo]

Why are people always comparing it to Gears. Is Gears the only game that's good looking. Why not compare it to Crysis, Crysis Warhead, Far Cry 2, etc? Personaly i think Crysis has the best graphics engine in a game until now. So compare it to the best.

I said it and i will say it again. When KZ2 was presented 3 years ago, i was really impressed with the graphics. Now with the games that come out since then, i'm not impressed any more. It's a good looking game, but it does not have that WOW factor from 2005.

[dro]

looks sick but im tired of seeing the same old stage again and again, i swear they showed us this stage at e3, u know when u subimt news on killzone2 videos dont say new video bcuz pple like me think that it is a BRAND NEW level. just say heres a video of killzone2. (-_-)

[FantasyStar]

People compare it to Gears because GeoW2 just happens to be on the 360, exclusively. If Crysis was exclusive to 360, it would get the same treatment as Gears, but no one really compared consoles to PCs. -That stopped being fun.

Also I'd have to agree with the WOW factor. I still haven't seen that dynamic hair back in 2005. Not trying to nit-pick with anyone else, but the one thing that wow'ed me in the 2005 teaser was that the hair was so lush and detailed along with the insanely long draw distance that really puts you in perspective. I don't know what's going to happen in the next 4-5 months, but I have no doubt that Guerrilla won't be able to recreate the 2005 teaser. They'll come close, but won't hit that mark. That's just history right there, name a game with pre-rendered trailers, by which the final product meeted-or-exceeded it. Then I might have a different view.

But right now, KZ2's lighting system and atmosphere is bar-none. I've never seen another game that looks and feels as great as KZ2. With GeoW2, it looks fantastic, but KZ2 puts me into a war-torn universe. See? I just compared GeoW2 to KZ2.

[Bigbangbing]

its the same demo -_- ... i'm still waiting for something big ... Team ICO ... the 9 unannounced games anyone ?

[Silogon]

There are no 9 games, man. It was a mix up and Kaz confirmed that already. He said

"we have many projects in the works and we will show them when the time is right and we feel they meet the standards of that time. Today is about reestablishing the strong commitment we have with our consumers and we're doing that through strong software set to release in a six month window"

That was taken from Gamefaqs/Gamepro. Take it or leave it, man. Reguardless if that is just some rant from a forum goer, there still isn't 9 games. I believe Kaz said that and it was pulled.

[Bigbangbing]

Thanks -_- i didn't know that ... thank you for destroying me -_-

[thor]

Yeah good thing about that is it seems they've learned - no more showing CG footage of a game 4 years before it's released hopefully.

[Beast_Master]

No they said they where just going to focus on this holiday and the spring. They could show trailers of next fall's lineup which are not 4 years away but they decided to wait. They could have shown:
God of War 3
R&C future 2
MAG
White Knight Chronicles (I think it is there)
The Protector
Sony Japan's RPGs
Incognito's next game probably Warhawk 2
Hardware 2
Ico's game

But they chose to focus on Home and the confirmed lineup. I am sure that you will see them string these annoucements after christmas between the 20 conventions before E3.

[General Pinky]

Second one....time = 1.05...See what is wrong in the video there…
But I have to say as a Xbox fan….this game is looking dam good…and that is the how it is…but come on guerrilla change the level…plzz..

[LightningPS3PS3]

when they show a video of an HDTV.

[RAF-TECH]

i hate to do this but...
I think I'm gonna play the first one to just understand teh story..

[BulletToothtony]

it feels a little weird in the beginning but i did like it... it's quite long but i had to keep playing it..

If you have the time is definitely worth playing...

You should go get it from gamestop.. they give you 7 days to try.. so beat it and then return it of the 6th.. that's what i did.. lol

[arakouftaian]

is a good game, n tray to pay the multiplayer whit a friend is fun!!!

[GametimeUK]

Stop hyping sequels to crappy games and give the hype to a game that deserves it... KZ1 fooled everyone... Dont let KZ2 make you a laughing stock

(edit) I admit graphically it looks amazing and "looks" better than GoW2... But GoW2 deserves the hype more since the first game was sooooo good

[eric100]

Killzone 2 not only loooks good it plays awesome too. just head over to youtube/gt forums/gaf to get some impressions of the beta

[Bigrhyno]

And I bet you didn't play Killzone. It was actually a pretty fun game. It wasn't a huge system seller, but it was at least worth a rent or lower priced buy. Many of the first games shortcomings had to do with technical things too... And this game appears to be a huge technical achievement. The gameplay in that video (and others I have seen) looks incredibly fun too.

[kanedaakira]

I'm stoked about this game - everything oozes quality. OK - I understand hype can be counter-productive but I have no doubt that this game will be class. I guess we just have to wait and see if it will be good or VERY good but the graphics and movement and atmosphere so far exceed practically every other game on the market (in my opinion!)

[Shane Kim]

I have to agree with your opinion kanedaakira.

[GametimeUK]

If KZ2 is amazing obviously I will be happy... I will eat my words... But I dont know why expectations are so high since the first one failed so bad!... I am just gonna wait and see but I dont think this game is worthy of everyones attention until its released and a solidified good game... Until then the only game we can realistically compare it to in the franchise is KZ1...

MGS4 WAS orthy of the hype since the games are classic...
But surely if a game is poo it should have a reverse affect from MGS4

IT MAKES SENSE!

[Beast_Master]

UK. Your right the first game was not that great but that was GG first time out. They put out a PSP game that made up KZ1 problems and redemed themselves as developers. This game picks up where liberation left off so that is why it is getting the attention.

[CEO of Troll Corp]

The website is listed as an attack site,wtf

[CrazyOrange]

ps3 fanboys stop hyping the game too much, if you continue to do this im pretty sure its will follow Lair,Too Human,Infinite...etc

[ThatCanadianGuy]

Really? Because every single preview so far has been nothing but complete satisfaction and an urge to play more.

So who am i to believe..a few dozen critics..or a 360 fanboy..

[DavidMacDougall]

5 year olds shouldnt be allowed to post

[eric100]

LBP was hyped and i think it has surpassed hype.
just wait for more reviews Ok.

killzone 2 plays exceedingly well. just ask a beta tester for impressions

[trancefreak]

@ MIlitant no worries the game speaks for itself. The game will be a huge blockbuster success. BUt...

Unlike you though i cant wait to play geow2 on my friends 360 and im a die hard ps3 owner.

Your skepticism though is flawed by your personal fanboyism. Admit it Killzone 2 is going to rock.

[arakouftaian]

n fun it deserve all the hype, so be ready n save money (if you work) or ask you momy to buy you a ps3 whit this game you will not be let down n enjoy every sec.

[CrazyOrange]

LBP dserve the hype becasue the game is really cool,good and cute.

I keep posting this : Im getting ps3 this fall and i would never buy K2 the game really never intersted me even resistance 2 intersetd more than K2, So stop calling my comment as fanboy comment.

im not Troller check my comments.

[Pain]

Xbox 2 fanboys stop hyping the game too much, if you continue to do this im pretty sure its will follow Too Human,Infinite...etc...

sound familiar?

[CrazyOrange]

dude gta/mgs diffrent situation they all known before , how its played..etc and gta3/mgs3.2.1.etc didnt sucks.
gears 1 susess so we can hype gears 2 becasue its only evloution of the first not new game.
first K2 failed and sucked hard and you now nothing about the new 1 only the graphics.

[lowcarb]

I don't see why you guys are praising this crap. The only thing I like is the lighting and attention to weapon detail,other then that this game is going suck burger balls.

[kanedaakira]

You are wrong.

[felidae]

one jealous xbot

[otherZinc]

This game is going to be a POS just like the 1st Killzone. I'm not going to be pushed to say something I don't believe: Killzone 2 doesn't impress me at all.

This game is going to be a callosal flop and it better release before Halo Recon or SONY is going to get its ass Super Kicked again.

Yep, you guys didn't see that. The 1st Killzone had a Halo to kill, didn't kill it. Now it has Halo Recon to kill & this isn't going to happen, period.

See this is when the fanboy s*** stops, retail sales will prove the ultimate liar: Both games will & have been hyped, now lets see what the sales will be.

Also, after 3 iterations, if you're good you're good, hype, media, advertising campaigns, cant sell your product, it sells on its merit.

Halo 3 Recon will be the clear winner.

[arakouftaian]

the best thing of this game is not just the amazing grafics or unique lithing is goers beyound any nextgem gane is the best!!! is soo intence fun the way the multiplayer is set is soo much fun and fast n good !!!

[lowcarb]

So what I've seen the footage and the game doesn't impress. Gears2=Transformers KZ2=The Gobots

[arakouftaian]

is just Killzone2 is someting diferent and is good intence fast is the best please play it this game is more than just great lathing or grafics is the gaplay the physics the dynamic the animations it has everyting well done is the best!!!!

[arakouftaian]

no ofence geow looks n im sure is a baDass game killing monsters(even ut3 looks better than geow"the same developers said that u cant denied), but killzone2 has everyting from gameplay physics dynamics anymation this game has everyting is the best n the multiplayer is soo much fun n intence. is just the best if you play it you will agree whit meis just that simple.

[Eidolon]

From the videos alone i believe it's a lot better than the first KillZone... and even that waasn't a flop, it just didn't live up to the hype of being a Halo killer.

[cellfluid]

I just received word that the beta keys r being release by email.only if u r a member of the playstation underground. Sign up now and keep your fingers cross... by the way this game is goin 2 b the beginin of the end 4 360

[trancefreak]

Ive been part of the underground for years and i have my psn linked but still no love :(. Thanks for the heads up

[DeZimatoR]

Its not worth it.

These are the guys who say Killzone 2 looks like crap but then drool at Halo 3's graphics (LOL).

Just leave them living in their own little world, because we'll be enjoying this game and they'll stay on forums saying its crap or whatever.

You'll be to busy enjoying the game to take notice though, and when you do, you'll just laugh at their faces.

[Says you]

And Gears of lame series that is exactly more like Unreal Tournament series isn't that right lowcarb you contradicting moron!.

[Fishy Fingers]

Well I'm sure we've all seen the same sections in direct feed or better quality. Can't wait to see some new areas. They seem very cagey about showing much on that front.

In case you haven't seen better quality.

More (best bit :)) > http://www.gamersyde.com/st...

Lot of talk lately about the ground textures, which are amazing, but the particle effects are just as good. All pretty special.

[kanedaakira]

Nice links Mr. Fish !

[Shane Kim]

wow those vids are insane. Are these from TGS08?

[Fishy Fingers]

No, GD08.

[Raoh]

damn. time and time again i keep being reminded of how i doubted this game. before i bought the ps3 i couldnt understand the hype behind killzone 2.

i liked the first one but not to go crazy over it and i never played the psp version.

then just around spring 08 the new gameplay videos have continued to blow me away each time. even when its a cam video.

sony was smart to push this title (or just one of their titles) to 2009. way too many games this holiday. i'm already buying 5 games in the next 3 months. this would have been too much. not to mention it could have hurt the other titles.

[running rampid]

lol dude i can tell you dropped out of school when you were ten. i know we are on the web, but still, your vocabluary is direful. on topic: game looks hot, attention to detail is awesome.

[James Vanderbeek]

this game doesnt come out for another 5 months and it loooks better than any game out or coming out.. We are still looking at a very incomplete game.. There is still a lot more polish they will add to this game.. Just look at what insomniac did in such a few weeks with resistance 2..

Now just imagine what killzone 2 is going to look like weeks before its release..

[joevfx]

see. gears 1 and 2 look great. they really do. the problem is they are really pushing the unreal 3 engine on the 360 to its max. you cant deny that. its evident in the minimal difference between gears 1 and 2. the killzone two engine is a brand new engine, and a version 1 of an enging looking that good is pretty damn impressive. Just imagine them using this engien for other games and really pushing its limits. its liek the first tiem i saw the engine for far cry 1 and then seeign whaty the did with crysis. Even if KZ2 isnt a great game, just the thought of this engine getting the in hands of other PS3 developers gives me goose bumps.

[tk]

The first KZ was a great game. For me it was better than COD4. KZ2 looks amazing. Don't understand the BS about the first KZ being "bad". I think those statements are by people who did not play it.

[HairyBrownSack]

Gears 2

[Close_Second]

Those video are simply incredible. Oh how the gameplay looks tons better from the videos 8-12 months ago.

PS3 owners are looking like they will be in for one hell of a ride over the next few months. I think the biggest problem is where will we find all the time to play all these great games coming out!!!!
