agreed, simply stunning! most of them are probably cutscenes, but gameplay won't be that much difference like KZ2! what really bugs me from the pics is, "where're the jaggies?"

talltony5084d ago (Edited 5084d ago )

Only alpha and has a year to go before it releases. Guerrilla is extremely talented devs!

DaTruth5084d ago (Edited 5084d ago )

All Killzone 2 cutscenes were in-engine cutscenes with no pre-rendering and no AHEM... higher resolution models. Except the opening.

Expect ingame to look exactly like this!

PshycoNinja5084d ago

just stunning.

MNicholas5084d ago

The amount of unneccesary polygon detail they put in to that building and the flying craft is is simply mind-boggling. Who is even going to notice all that detail except so many other developers who are going to hang their heads in shame?

It's as if they're just showing off the power of their engine just because they can.

Incredible stuff.

MNicholas5084d ago (Edited 5084d ago )

Can't speak for others but, looking at the big games, such statements appear to be true.

Big 360 games like Forza 3, Alan Wake, and Gears of War 1 & 2, etc... all used plenty of bull-shots. The actual games fell far short of expectations.

PS3 games like GT5, Uncharted 2, and God of War 3, on the other hand, actually look better in-game, thanks to amazing post-processing and dynamic effects, than the screen-shots released by the developers. KZ2 used CGI at the PS3's launch 4 years ago yet that game ended up exceeding even the CGI in all but character model poly count.

So the credibility of GG producing a game that actually looks better in motion than these screen-shots is pretty high.

Microsoft Xbox 3605084d ago

Because PS3 exclusives have proven themselves. Not only that but this is GG we're talking about. Look at the shots they released before K2. In-game looks way better than the shots.

specialguest5084d ago

learn from the mistakes KZ2 made, and be the ultimate-potentially perfect FPS it was meant to be.

Commander TK5083d ago

Lol. If u really think that Guerrilla games will top Crytek, then think again.

Arnon5083d ago (Edited 5083d ago )

Nice bullshots. Unless of course, the game is going to run at 1600x900, 1158x1080, or 1065x1036 with 8xAA, which I doubt.

IcarusOne5083d ago

Looks nice. So did KZ2 target trailer.

Now let's see if they can tell a story.

I'm fully agreeing with... DAAAAYYYUUUUUMMMM!!!
I didn't even know Killzone 3 was announced yet!! And to see these pics!!!

I swear, the first thing i thought when i finished Killzone 2 was "wonder how this would look with arctic environment.." My wish has come true!

Edit: Is that a jetpack?! *faints*

You bet the snow effects are awesome thanks to the cooperation withj Naughty Dog

Killzone in the snow = awesome

cyborg69715084d ago

If this is pre-alpha I don't think I'll ever stop jizzing all over. I still am while typing this. Can't wait.

Apone5084d ago

Thanx for the 'heads up' ;)

sikbeta5084d ago

Beautiful indeed...KZ3 is Day one...

thewhoopimen5084d ago

One can assume they would use Sony Santa Monica's MLAA implementation. GowIII had no jaggies whatsoever.

mal_tez925084d ago

I noticed about 2 jaggies ever on Gow III. And to see them, I had to sit about 10 cm away from my 46 inch full HD tv

rob60215080d ago

I would like them to use Santa Monica's MLAA, but from what I've heard the MLAA in that game took up several cores, Killzone is using the cores extensively there just may not be enough cycles left to pump out MLAA on top of it all. It will most likely be Quincux like KZ2, however the game will be designed for it to lessen the lapse of detail you see in multiplats. We can hope, but don't expect.

Bathyj5084d ago

Yeah, Alpha build with KZ2 charactor models.

The KZ3 assets arent even in place yet so we're only looking at KZ2.5 at the moment.

I mean that in a good way, not a bad one. This game is going to look so much better than these screens.

Its funny, when I read that title the other day, May '11, I thought, "so thats when I'm getting a 3DTV 'ay."

DaTruth5084d ago

May 11 what!!! If you're telling me May 11, 2011 is the release date!

Happy Birthday to me!!!!

MazzingerZ5084d ago (Edited 5084d ago )

Not surprised at all, since MGS4 PS3 left behind the other consoles regarding graphics...the funny thing is that before that graphics was what X360 was all about...after MGS4 X360 switched to Party chat

PS3 owners enjoy of a real investment...you purchased a gaming console and that's what you got

D4RkNIKON5084d ago

These screens make the gaming industry look dated. The industry needs to keep up with GG!!

UnSelf5084d ago

i swear it never fails wit these guys

UC1<KZ2<UC2<GOW3< KZ3

Sony needs a leash

D4RkNIKON5084d ago

It is so true, each one gets better and better!

mal_tez925084d ago

add mgs4 in there somewhere too. Probably before UC1

UnSelf5084d ago

naturally i would but UC1 is where the benchmark was first set that no other console's gfx can reach the ps3's.

But whats so amazing is that theyre not just creating amazing gfx but the gameplay is just as good f not better

this game will be stunning... sony is doing good things i must give that to em.. what an alpha stage of a look.

Nice looks like KZ2 down to the pixel.

TheBand1t5084d ago

And if that's the case, well we got nothing to worry about. Killzone 2 still looks better then anything else out there on consoles. Aside from Uncharted 2 maybe.

Greywulf5084d ago

and damn that feels good. Look at that.. jesus christ.

FACTUAL evidence5084d ago

and i know I'm about to get a lot of hate, but I guarantee you that when this game releases it's not going to look anything different...when they say pre-alpha and so on, i think they are just going by the completion of the game. Like 17% done or something...don't expect the graphics to look any better than these shots. Not saying the ps3 can't do better, because I know if GG's wanted to they could, but I highly doubt the game will look better than it already is looking now.

BABY-JEDI5083d ago

Right-up until the product hit the shelves. These guys don't sit on their hands. They want to be the best in the buisness. That's GG for you.

Can anyone please explain to me wuts so special about these graphics??

I really don't see it............

I am not trying to downplay the game, but the graphics look just like all other games on consoles. I don't think this game looks better than MW2 or BFBC2.

Father Murder X5083d ago

I actually bought Killzone 2 and was like is this what all the fuss is about? I just don't see where all the hype is coming from. Could it be that its because its an exclusive?? I just don't get the hype!!!!

Not everyone plays current gen games on PC, so naturally, these graphics will look impressive.

alpha build not pre alpha. pre alpha is like engine building stage.

X-Frame5084d ago

Except that Guerrilla Games themselves have stated it is still pre-alpha. Do a quick Google search to find out for yourself.

thewhoopimen5084d ago

I believe the Sev they are showing is from KZ2. If you compare him with the helghast charcs, his clothing textures seem to be lower quality.

garos825084d ago (Edited 5084d ago )

one thing i would love is the ability to play 2 campaigns in the game, one with the helghast and one with the isa. i really believe the helghast arent the bad guys in the game. i love playing in mp with helghast and wanting to shoot the ISA scum!

edit: and for the love of god incorporate some of that rich story from the website in the game. it really is a pretty neat storyline that i had no idea about till i visited their website. its a shame really they didnt push it in one way or another in the game

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor354d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar354d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg354d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz149354d ago

I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.

man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!

Vengeance1138354d ago

32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III

Shane Kim354d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC354d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

Vengeance1138354d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle354d ago

lol you are comparing:

HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)

HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)

We will see if it surpass original number.

Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.

I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.

blacktiger354d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca354d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy354d ago (Edited 354d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal354d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.

Still looks secure 2 gens later... one of my favorite ps3 moments. With 3D and move the game is on another level

MadLad1105d ago

PC almost always ends up the best place to play games, even if it takes a while.

What would you rather play decades down the line? A game at a fixed resolution and frame, considering you have a working disc, and the hardware?
Or run it on an emulator that can update the experience all around, and let you use whatever control input you prefer?

If you insist on the former, it's really only for the sake of nostalgia.

Applejack1105d ago

I disagree. The main draw for consoles has always be the simplicity of just putting the disc in / downloading it and playing without worrying about anything else. The average person just wouldn’t want to deal with emulation even though it’s very important for preservation.

Terry_B1105d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1105d ago

Youre getting flak because people on here thibk of themselves as pc wizards. But honestly most poeple try and go get emulators and romz they end up with malware.. yes theyre "easy" if you know the basics but alot of people dont. That said the fact that its taken nearly 20 years to get a sustantially better experience for ps3 games than on its native system shows the complexity of getting bc to work. Sony, if they have any intention, should just invest in a vastly better psnow experience.

1105d ago
Vegamyster1105d ago

jukins

Most people who emulate don't get malware, you'd have to be going to some weird sites for that to happen, heck years ago people were getting sketchier ad's resulting in malware warning on this site if you didn't have a ad-blocker lol.

SinkingSage1105d ago

Can't get malware if you legally dump your own games, which you should.

Rachel_Alucard1105d ago (Edited 1105d ago )

That's fine if that's the main draw, but it doesn't make it a better experience, just a preference. Having the freedom to do the things you can do on PC is what the appeal of PC is. Buying a game on PC means you never have to worry about the console makers just deciding the next hardware shouldn't support the generation anymore, which means everything you bought is stuck on that hardware instead of moving up with everything else. Nintendo uses this tactic to keep reselling the same games over and over at inflated prices. Sony cut all previous gens off the PS4 and sold it back to people in a poor attempt with PSnow. While the PS5 supports PS4 games, that may not be the case in the next gen after this. No to mention shutting off all the previous stores and updates completely. Even MS stopped making new BC titles at some point, so now there's a big list with 17 pages of titles that are not playable on Xbone and are just trapped on older gen. That's not a problem on PC, the reverse happens where you only have to worry if your hardware can play the newest releases at ultra with no issue.

MadLad1104d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1105d ago

Well that's the beauty of still owning a retro console tho. Those who usually complain about emulation are just being blindly loyal to a company. Emulation is great for many reason, but if I still owned the console then I disagree nothing beats plugging it back in and going down a nostalgia trip

Top 10 PS3 Games We Hope Come Back On PS5

While Xbox has committed to backwards compatibility spanning four generations, PlayStation has continued their stance that the feature isn't important. Well, it is! I'm hoping these PlayStation 3 classics that skipped the PS4 entirely show up again on the PS5 for everyone to enjoy.

Knightofelemia1283d ago

Resistance, Dead Space franchise, Splatterhouse, Lollipop Chainsaw, Brutal Legends, Alice Madness Returns, Enslaved Journey to the West, Mass Effect franchise. Also wouldn't mind seeing a new Wild Arms game remake or HD remaster, the Xenosaga trilogy, a new Parasite Eve, a new Dino Crisis just too many games to list that are forgotten and left in the dark now adays.

Sciurus_vulgaris1283d ago

The PS3 is difficult to emulate. PS3 backwards compatibility on PS5 would require translation from PowerPC to x86. Additionally the PS5 likely would have to mimic the PS3’s GPU and CPU.

This is what pops up on my web browser. So I can't even read the site. So, forget that. They don't need my data.

But let's get something straight. OG Xbox had around 1,001 games. How many are BC on Series X? **39** THIRTY NINE. Come on! That's wack BC. You can't tell me that's a complete list. Talking about commitment. Game preservation. Ridiculous. Covers nothing.

How many games released on Xbox 360? Around 2085. How many are BC?
568. That's it. Around 1,517 are **MISSING** Stop playing. Tired of that nonsense.

Anyway, the only games I really want from PS3 that would be awesome are Motorstorm and MGS4. I'll take BC. I'll take a remaster. I'll take a remake. If not those, then Killzone 2. And in VR, maybe Sports Champions, House of the Dead Overkill and the Time Crisis games.

That's all I need. But we've gone over BC again and again in every possible way. It wasn't that important because Sony sold 115 million consoles without it. That's proof enough with no outcry. And PS5 has damn near all 4,000+ PS4 games BC. It's not PS1,PS2 and PS3. But that's plenty. I'll take more but you get what you get.
