New Demo gameplay, and new interview.

Edit - re: below: Wait until you see the pause and pan around the minigun boss. Coooool. ;)

[Violater]

agreed.
will finish watching after work

btw this deserves a thread all for itself.

Take as good fun guys, nothing more.

Edit:
Like I said, take it as good fun, instead the trolls take my bubbles.

[nooreo]

OH GOD! that was sooo funny!
and xbot relives the console wars
ROFL!!!

[MaximusPrime]

im happy to see the difference between Halo and Killzone. Killzone 2 is clearly better than Halo 3 in terms of graphic and gameplay.

I laughed out loud at that video. "beLIEve" LMAO

[nasim]

what a shame that we are having halo 3 in the era of photorealism displayed by KZ2.

x360s are still being sold by IDIOTS in america . what a shame?

[AllroundGamer]

nice one :D you can even see the graphical difference in the video with smaller resolution and videobitrate :)

[FirstknighT]

that was a pretty funny video. Kinda clever. But that Halo 3 footage wasn't even the beta. That footage was taken from that small documentary released over an year ago. Not even close to the final version but funny nonetheless.

[Kleptic]

haha that was good...you have to admit MS walked right into that one...the real "museam" commercial has such a huge amount of cheese smothered on it, its inevitable for things like this to be made...

I am taking it as good fun...but to directly above...BOTH games are taken from very early footage...not just Halo 3...thats not a final KZ2 gameplay video vs. old alpha Halo 3 stuff...whatever opinion you have now between these 2 games visually, is what you will have upon release of both...so its pointless in the first place...

[Devr]

In the gameplay vid the AI actually looks good for once! KZ2 looks sweet so far.

[jlemdon]

yeah it does but I'm tired of both sony and M$ fanboys praising a game that the developer has been putting work in for years, like Halo 3 I'm tired of the hype for Halo 3 as well as Killzone 2 because Killzone 1 was Average. The only reason why Halo 3 get praised, for one it's the last Halo, and the series so far had good reviews.

[nooreo]

Doesn't work for me T___T

[XxZxX]

none of the link work

[Arkham]

You'll have better luck going to the original site (see my first post) and clicking on the individual parts in the thumbnail sections.

Firefox doesn't work with these, so use IE or something else.

[Vojkan]

I cant see picture, just sound

[CamelBoy]

plays fine here, just disappointed its the same levels again.. all gaming webs posted their hands on with this level, there must be tens of vids of this thing played over and over again. i say lets ignore the goddamn game before the devs can show off another level or environment

[Maddens Raiders]

a "classic" in the making.

[Funky Town_TX]

I wish we had more info about it. My only knock on the game is that it looks linear. I hope they open up the levels a bit. If they throw a little sandbox in it then KZ2 for GOTY 08. It's good that killzone sucked now the dev have been pushed to make 2 way better.

[xaphanze]

will we know anything about it in TGS?

[Kleptic]

Possibly...depends on how Sony handling TGS to begin with...

The Japanese don't care about KZ2 or halo 3...as a market the FPS genre has little impact there...

however with the demise of E3 as a public gathering, Sony may use the time this week to show off more of the game just to the worldwide public...a move that wouldn't be bad if you ask me...halo 3 is about a week away...and unless that crazy rumor of a KZ2 demo or something around that time, they really need to push something along the lines of "we have a big Sci-fi game coming too"...

It is very unlike Sony to sit back and watch with competition as big as this...We all know what Sony did at E3 in regards to Halo 3...and for about a month, it was extremely effective...

[Baba1906]

killzone is looking amazing. cant wait to get that game.

[bluebrad1974]

Killzone 2's graphics aren't as great as you sony fanboys like to hype them. I haven't been impressed yet by this games graphics.

[LosT---SouL]

gtfo. noone wants you here.

[shysun]

Bluebrad is an infamous Gamespot 360 fanboy.Anything he says should be deleted and never repeated. Go to the 360 page, the jig is up fanboy!

PS BB I was there when you made an ass of yourself, when you thought the 360 out sold the PS2!lol

[VaeVictus]

I love the ignore feature on this site. I don't have to see the idiot ramblings of some people.

Killzone 2 looking better and better.

[Meus Renaissance]

Made me laugh. Nice

[akaFullMetal]

this looks really good, cant wait for it to be released, hope though they fix the freezing when the game is saving and loading the part of the level

[experimental_sounds]

What? Man, Killzone 2 will be streamed, no loading times whatsoever, now you are surprised that it freezes a little bit when saving? I'd rather freeze a second or two while saving than waiting 2 minutes for the game to load initially, plus, on a interview with a dev (I think it was the BBC one), the dev said that the streaming isn't properly placed yet.

This game will never take down Halo 3, no matter how impressive it looks or how well it plays, simply because we (xbox fans) are total pricks, and yes Killzone will be unfortunaly be flamed by everyone including Gamespot, IGN, etc. Sony loses because of childish fanboys.

[INehalemEXI]

Funny video Violater

[Spike47]

with all due respect, killzone 2's graphics make halo 3 look like total crap, or like a ps2 game.

you might say all but gameplay is what matters. So far, I have'nt seen anything bad with the gameplay.

I feel bad for the developers, they are under so much pressure, especially when you have all those biasedwebsites out there.

without a doubt, if they make this game a decent one, it will be reviewed horribly, if they make it fantastic, it's gonna be rated 8.5 or something like that.

It's the truth, we all know some websites would be pleased to obliterate this game.

[bluebrad1974]

Your joking right? Killzone 2 is average at best graphically. You sony pansies are full of bs.

[gerrard]

Please go away and play with your gaylo, that is if you dont get the ring of death

[TheZippo]

Why does this game always get compared to Halo? They have totally different art styles and game play. Wouldn't a better comparison be to Call of Duty 4 or Rainbow 6? Something more realistic then a augmented super soldier with cartoon like enemies and a kinda naked transparent, purpelish, pink lady inside his head.

[demolitionX]

it will take 10/10 from all reviewers. cause guirella will make it perfect!!! no way sony will make this game slip away.

[QuietMan69]

You guys really need to get a dose of reality, I have seen nothing that really sets this game apart. And don't evenm get me started about the AI. BUt let hope they can pull it off

[InMyOpinion]

That's what they said about Lair and Heavenly Sword. Two other supposed AAA titles that went down the drain. I think Killzone 2 looks better than any of themm, but don't get your hopes too high. I think Uncharted will be the big game of the holiday season for PS3 owners.

[achira]

awesome !!!

[JewyMcJew]

The effects and art direction are fantastic.

BUT... is it just me or are the textures looking very blurry and washed out? Hopefully, its just due to the low resolution video.

[bluebrad1974]

No, Killzone 2 most definately has ps1 quality textures. Flat,muddy, and bland.

[fenderputty]

because real life is shinny as a glazed ceramic pot. Get off of it. Looks at drakes fortune. There's plenty of texture and color in that game. Killzone isn't even in the beta yet too. Pull your head out. It's apparent you've rammed it far up your arss.

[GRAMPAGAMER]

but there wasn't any urgency in the gameplay. It reminded me of shooting fish in a barrel with a shot gun. where's the diversity?

where are the combat puzzles?...

hopefully they're on the way,..

with the huge budget that's being lavished on the game, it doesn't need to end up being dull.

peace.

[quiddd]

up tho what is being asked for. With that said, the AI wasn't p to next-gen standards yet.

How was the AI in Resistance?

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Most said the AI in Resistance was just "ohkay", but my experience with it was the Chimera joining forces and sneaking up on you from behind something. It wasn't F.E.A.R., mind you, but it was pretty dang good.

I would put it on par with GOW's AI probably.

[SpenserTracy]

The xbox fanboys are really doing their best to defend their console. If you read the comments all the PS3 guys are saying is that this game looks beautiful. But there is always some 360 fanboy in there stirring it up with stupid comments. It must really be horrible to want a PS3 so much that you cant help getting angry. My advice is that if youre stuck with a 360 and if you dont have enough money to buy a PS3, you can always sell youre 360. Save up some money and buy a PS3 and you will be a free man.

[villevalorox]

when i click on it the video does not work

[DJ]

had the Media and Gaming Community NOT put Sony under so much pressure during the past two years. I mean, they were working on the RSX chip all the way up until June 2006, a full year after the original specs were announced. It's funny that the director of Killzone 2 wasn't sure if his game was all the great until he showed it to a bunch of Sony execs a few weeks before E3; they were floored.

I cannot wait for Guerrilla to start implementing the high-level lighting effects (that's right, they want to make the game look even better) and putting game code on SPUs 5 and 6. Right now they're only using the PPU and SPUs 1~4.

[Wii60_FTW]

Not too bad. I mean, I'll pick it up when I get my PS3 in a couple of years or so, when God of War 3 and FFXIII hits, but this wasn't that impressive to me. and what's with the freezing at every checkpoint?

"very intuitive cover system" lol ORLY? Vegas did that last year. boring.

the AI looks pretty horrible. guys just stand around like idiots. some are shooting at walls. some are glitching in and our of cover over and over a gain doing nothing. the graphics looks HORRIBLE up close. all the shaders and normal maps look absolutely blury. no speculiarity on anything. wow, this game was supposed to look at lot better than this. Gears of war destroys the visuals in the game. not to mention the gameplay. and so does Halo 3. gameplay and visuals. don't believe me?

LOL. I mean, I laugh when you sony dogs say Halo 3 is nothing compared to Killzone lol. just funny. wait until Halo 3 sells 5 million copies day one.

[nobizlikesnowbiz]

Even though your completely biased, I agree with you. These turds can't resist trying to bring Halo down.

It's funny because it's never gonna happen. Halo is a monster.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I agree. Halo is a monster.

It sells for all the wrong reasons though.

To put it simply, you're all pricks looking to take down Sony. Yes, you have Halo 3. Fifty bucks says it LAGS more than RFOM online. I'm just betting.

Fifty more bucks says the environments aren't anywhere close to even Killzone ONE!

Another HUNDRED bucks says UTIII gets best Multi-player awards ALL OVER...(except the ones voted on by the public)

Halo 3 = The most undeserved hype in the history of ANYTHING!

[DJ]

Here's some not-quite-as-old gameplay captures:

http://www.thatps3blog.com/...
http://www.thatps3blog.com/...

I recommend comparing the two games in motion though, because that's where the difference becomes Very apparent.

[felidae]

i really can't wait to play Halo 3 but you're a brave man if you compare Halo 3's graphics to Killzone 2's

KZ2 is another level man, open your fanboy eyes!

[vickers500]

Go to a 360 forum you fanboy troll.

[d3l33t]

sony dog. what, are you 12?

[experimental_sounds]

Gamers like you make me sometimes embarassed to own a Xbox 360 and be part of it's community, you're not even a gamer, you are a kid who needs to grow up.

First, all footage you've seen so far are in pre-pre Alpha.

I'll start with the freezing... actually I won't, read my above post and learn something about programming before you post.

I'll start with graphics, being a long poster at several Xbox forums, I've had many flamewars against Killzone 2, one of them saying that the glow on the Helghast's eyes were just a texture, well see this.

http://img158.imageshack.us...

See how the light reflects on the enemy's arm and then reflect back to his helmet? Pretty impressive huh? What about this muzzle flash:

http://img106.imageshack.us...

Note the direct, indirect, soft, ambient, harsh, colored and diffused lighting along with proper self, soft, and diffused shadowing.

Diffusion is one of the most impressive and realistic effects you can have applied in-game. This emulates exactly how real light would affect an object. Take a look at this example of diffusion: see how the muzzle flash is affecting the shattering box? The closer to the nozzle the wood fragments are - the brighter the light will be. Note how each individual piece of wood also affects the other fragments with indirect lighting.

http://img158.imageshack.us...

Like I said, Halo 3 will indeed pwn Killzone 2 underated ass, but is no where as good as this PS3 title.

Learn before you post.

[Vip3r]

Remember when the first Halo 3 pre-alpha pics came out and all the 360 fanboys were like "but..but..but its only in pre-alpha.." and now that there are more pre-alpha KZ2 pics out they are saying it looks crap compared to thier new (3rd gen?) game that has just been finished. I guess irony, ignorance and hypocracy is all apart of being a low life fanboy.

[Wii60_FTW]

hey, i'm just responding to the sony dogs who claim halo 3 looks like an xbox 1 game. get owned and get gone.

[sandip787]

KILLZOWNED!
god i love this game.
this is one game im glad that journalists are happy about. my fingers and limbs are crossed that this game wont fail to be nothing less than awe inspiring

[sandip787]

ok guys, you got me. the disagree caught me out. i really hate this game. it annoys me seeing it, and i do hope it falls short of being awe inspiring. damn you guys are good o.0

[DiLeCtioN]

i was laughing when the guy got the bullets in the head...died so slowly and painfully(trailer)

[nobizlikesnowbiz]

Wow violater that vid was hilarious....not really. It was pretty stupid. It wasn't even funny on the smallest level. Sony Defense Force? Thats really sad. It's sad that you all like a video made by a bunch of queers who think they can save their beloved brand name by making fud.

I know you meant it in good fun but some of the turds in this thread can't resist taking shots at Halo. W/e. Pretty funny that the vid claims victory before EITHER has been released. One a full year after the other too. Turds...

[fopums]

sorry but thats ridiculous, the same turds are all over Halo 3 threads spouting how KZ1 was crap so KZ2 will be the same, the ai sucks bla bla bla.

your no better then them when you resort to name calling, do the right thing and just ignore them. dont feed the trolls!

[aiphanes]

Killzone 2 still has over 6 months worth of development left...and the pauses at the checkpoint are because...they are not using the streaming texture engine yet. The developers said the next build will have streaming texture engine...so there will be no pauses at check points. Look a Rachet and Clank....it use a new resistance based engine that has streaming textures...

[jay3]

Ok, this is where it goes too far.

Killzone 2 without a doubt looks absolutely incredible, i mean the only person that could deny that is a blind fanboy. But when people say it's going to "Kill Halo" i just have to say something.

We have seen no real analysis of how it plays. The only thig i've read about the gameplay is that you shoot a rocket launcher, your arm flies back, and people start shooting at you. All the articles just repeatedly comment on the visuals. While they are fantastic, visuals alone don't make a game. Not in the slightest.

Halo is a proven, well playing franchise. It's going to sell well. It just is. Killzone 2 will do the same due to the hype from the visuals alone. But it won't kill Halo, not by a long shot.

On the other hand though, i'm not a psychic.

[quiddd]

as for my AI comment, I wouldn't mind if there were settings for AI for Killzone. Level one can be an easy setting. To a mid level equal to "Dang near impossible" to "Think outside the box"

[fopums]

just let the halo comparision's die, and hope for new KZ information, I think it looks amazing as always, but a little bit of NEW info would be nice...

GG you know you want to spoil us!

seriosuly though why ruin the discussion by bringing up halo? you either stir up the sony fanboys or the xbots and then its a petty flame fest....

[SIX]

Lot's of detail in this game. Pow! Headshot and the helmet flies off. That's my favorite part. This game is gonna be sweet.

Nobody doubts this game looks better than Halo. How it plays is a different story. From early accounts though, even that seems to be pretty solid. 2008 and Killzone couldn't come soon enough.

[Gamingisfornerds]

I'm not completely convinced yet, but it certainly has potential.

I'm just not all that concinced by this footage. I think they should show a level in a daytime setting. I'm sure it'll look much more impressive than this nighttime level which is kinda generic and bland imo.

But I like their approach, which is lots of post-processing fx and enviromental fx, rather than pushing polygons and super sharp textures.

I'm liking the animations a lot, here and there it's still a bit clunky and awkward, but on the whole it's definitely among the most impressive animations I've seen in a game.

One thing I can do without is all the unnecessary HYPE. People are already calling this a classic, GOTY whatever and all they've seen is a portion of a level. Let's just wait and see before we pull out all the fanboy superlatives.

[Watkins]

I'm not sure, but I don't think there is any daylight on the helghast planet at all actually

[mesh1]

guys really ive seen some hd leaked footage of halo 3 and even i was shocked the game HDR lighting and ps this is towards the single player mod that i saw was mind blowing the amount of physics +hdr was mindnubling halo 3 single players looks better than this kill zone atm but thing may change ull see what i mean when halo comes out peice

[FirstknighT]

I see jealousy amongst the sony boys. You never see the 360 owners talk about Killzone 2 in a Halo thread. It took 4 comments for you jealous sony boys to start talking about Halo 3. That's called RESPECT and FEAR! Halo 3 will pwn all. Killzone 2 will continue the ps3s overhype run with Lair averaging a horrible 54% and Heavenly Sword averaging a decent 81%.

Sony is all talk! The 360 is all action! :)

[PlayStation360]

I go all around these threads (360, PS3, Wii... what can I say, I love all 3 consoles). And the 360 posters trash KZ2 as well. Hell, they try and bring up ANY PS3 game they can just to bash it. Another false statement that some folks say is boxers don't go to PS3 threads and bash PS3 games like PS3 dudes do in 360 threads. Cause you and that other boxer in this thread just prove that statement wrong.

I'm not trying to start nothing bro, I prefer to keep the peace between my gaming bros, but you should be fair.

[fenderputty]

yet say HS is DECENT in the 80's. You truly are a douche bag.

[Shaka2K6]

Drolls!!!!! the best graphics ever seen, period.
its like watching a hollywood movie, Sony is the best the industry has ever seen,look at all the action going on damn!!!
KZ2 the wait will be worth it.

[The Wood]

wearing those 'hear no evil see no evil' blinkers are we. Stop talking crap. Its too easy to prove you wrong my friend. your not worth the clicks i say.

Looking good. Art style is great, graphics are great im sure the sound will be great. lets hope the gameplay matches the rest.

[FirstknighT]

I haven't been proving wrong yet amigo! :) Go ahead...try to prove my statement wrong.

[Jinxstar]

Ok Firstnight I'll give it ago

"I see jealousy amongst the sony boys. You never see the 360 owners talk about Killzone 2 in a Halo thread. It took 4 comments for you jealous sony boys to start talking about Halo 3. That's called RESPECT and FEAR! Halo 3 will pwn all. Killzone 2 will continue the ps3s overhype run with Lair averaging a horrible 54% and Heavenly Sword averaging a decent 81%. Sony is all talk! The 360 is all action! :)"

Sentence 1

Lets break it down. You see jealousy amongst sony fanboys... In a KZ2 thread?... I guess we are jealous of ourselves? Jealous of you? Most likely of you as I truely believe you are talking about Halo... If you say so man. I personally think Halo is getting so much attention atm becasue its so close to releasing. KZ2 is a long ways off. Halo is talk of the Town just like how a week before Spiderman 3 or Starwars comes out in theaters you see all kinds of people dressing up and buying comics... Thats just press, Hype and attention. Halo is gotting a ton of comercialism atm. That is one of the main reasons I hate Halo. Its the commercial rock band(Linkin park or buck cherry) and not the true one I would so prefer to see in concert(Lamb of god or Misfits).

Sentence 2

Never see you talking about KZ2 in a Halo thread... Wait til its close to release. I bet we may but by then 360 fans will be saying "Halo has been out a while how can you compare the 2. Stupid sony fans." However I will agree that the 2 are kinda on a seperate level and shouldn't be compared ever really...

Sentence 3

Once again with the jealousy and the halo... Ok not gonna repeat myself...

Sentence 4.

Respect and fear... Do you even know what these words mean? for one what are we respecting and fearing. RROD's? You? A video game? You know what dude. Even if Sony fails and gives up and says "We will now stop making games for PS3" and you win. I have already gotten my moneys worth back I feel and I have a bad ass DVD/BR player to boot. So I don't see the fear aspect or the respect either... If I post and say "I'm not interested in Halo" Guess what I'm really not... It's not that I have fear( 1. a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined; the feeling or condition of being afraid.
2. a specific instance of or propensity for such a feeling: an abnormal fear of heights.
3. concern or anxiety; solicitude: a fear for someone's safety.
4. reverential awe, esp. toward God.
5. that which causes a feeling of being afraid; that of which a person is afraid: Cancer is a common fear.)

As far as respect. I have a large respect for how much MS is marketing this game. I think thats kinda cool. I actually hope Halo 3 outsells Spiderman 3 openings day sales. Because that would mean a lot for the video game industry in general. I think it would be kinda cool and maybe turn more people to trying something new out. However what are you refering to when you say respect? (–noun 1. a particular, detail, or point (usually prec. by in): to differ in some respect.
2. relation or reference: inquiries with respect to a route.
3. esteem for or a sense of the worth or excellence of a person, a personal quality or ability, or something considered as a manifestation of a personal quality or ability: I have great respect for her judgment.
4. deference to a right, privilege, privileged position, or someone or something considered to have certain rights or privileges; proper acceptance or courtesy; acknowledgment: respect for a suspect's right to counsel; to show respect for the flag; respect for the elderly.
5. the condition of being esteemed or honored: to be held in respect.
6. respects, a formal expression or gesture of greeting, esteem, or friendship: Give my respects to your parents.
7. favor or partiality.
8. Archaic. a consideration.
–verb (used with object) 9. to hold in esteem or honor: I cannot respect a cheat.
10. to show regard or consideration for: to respect someone's rights.
11. to refrain from intruding upon or interfering with: to respect a person's privacy.
12. to relate or have reference to.
—Idioms13. in respect of, in reference to; in regard to; concerning.
14. in respect that, Archaic. because of; since.
15. pay one's respects, a. to visit in order to welcome, greet, etc.: We paid our respects to the new neighbors.
b. to express one's sympathy, esp. to survivors following a death: We paid our respects to the family.
16. with respect to, referring to; concerning: with respect to your latest request.) There is a lot of meaning behind that word. Some means a lot to me emotionally as I have serverd in the army and am a firefighter. Respect is something earned. MS imo has not earned my respect as they have made a system with a 33% fail rate and imo will phase it out in the next few years for a new system... MS has never earned respect. I can respect gamers opinions. I can respect a persons right to choose. However I do not respect Halo for it is not innovative and not interesting to me. Played out story, Dull idea imo...

Sentence 5

It may pwone all for the time being. If FF7 gets a remake or something else cool comes out... Its all only temporary. I do hope it does well though bud. It wont be the #1 media and entertainment release of all time. It once was starwars episode 4 too... remember...

Sentence 6.

Overhype machine??? Dude Sony has had such little commercialism or anything its scary. When was the last time you saw a PS3 commercial. Or at least compare them to how many 360 ones you see... If you want to talk overhype Look at your new fav, albeit unreleased yet, game halo 3. I should not have to elaborate on this... If you need me to please reply and I will gladly explain to you haw hyped and commercialized halo is and break it down for you and try to find you how much money they have put into hyping this game... Not even the system... The one game... Lair and HS I really enjoyed both. Lair mainly because I have always been a huge factor five fan and loved the Rogue squadron games. HS was exactly what the Dev's said it would be and was what I was looking for. Something completely new/fresh/interesting. At times I was scared for kai and felt sad for roach and really really hated bohan... Thats what made it a great movie/game and I and still playing it to try and get me all my points... Many didn't like these games and they are not for everyone. I thought they were bad ass...

Sentence 7.

Sony is not really all talk. They talk very little from what I can see... They do produce some games that they said would be cool that not everyone liked but at least they are trying new things. Controling a dragon with motion controls... Kinda very origional. Halo 3... I cant think of a single things bud... Heavenly sword used full motion capture, 7.1 surround, Hugely renderred worlds that stretch for what is miles and miles. You can throw a shield and it just keeps going. Doesn't hit an invis wall or nothing. Try it at chapter 2 when your on the big pillar. its kinda crazy... Halo 3 once again uses... Oh yeah nothing new...

Last sentence...

360 is all action. Lets see you have Gears of war, Soon Halo 3... and.... ummm.... Lost planet? Blue Dragon? Oh i guess we could talk release titles over 2 years old like Prey and Dead rising and fight night.... Ummmm what other cool exclusives do you have avail right now.... Hmmmm..... Well I know I play the hell out of carcassone. a 10 dollar live DL.... Bomberman aint bad either for a DL.... Nothing compares to Warhawk or Tekken 5 on XBL but.... I dunno. Enlighten me bud...

I mean PS3 has a few games Motorstorm(Which I hear 360 can;t handle), HS(Same), Lair(Dunno), Sigma, RFOM, Flow, Tekken and warhawk... Just off the top of my head... I guess the fact that its a BR is not that cool either. Price does suck though. If only they would release a 400$ system =P

Conclusion...

You are a very very biased person. You get so many disagrees its sickening. Also you seem to not back up anything but just spout crap from your mouth like "Fear" and "Respect" when you have earned none yourself(Far as I can tell) and honestly in my experience the only people who talk of fear are those who have fear themselves. "Think they're afraid?" Would only be said by someone who was afraid themselves... So in the end you are a talking contradiction and a huge fanboy biased idiot with little to back up his claims with anything other then what people have said. You are a troll on a KZ2 thread defending something that doesn't need defense as Halo will do well no matter what anyone says.... GTFO NEWB.

Also to anyone who cares. I have all consoles and love my 360 and am looking forward to a few games. Mainly NG2. I just have always seen First knight troll here and am tired of his BS... He is an insult the the 360 community just like Mart and needed to be brought down a peg.

Also I have no time to review or spell check as I have stuff to do.

[The Wood]

bubbles for your energy. but like i said it was too easy to prove him wrong

[Dmack79]

halo3 > KILLZONE2

[wangdiddy82]

warhawk already craps on halo.. lol.. Or the online part of halo.. Killzone 2 looks really good for being so far from when the game will be out.. They have some time to improve on everything.. I will wait to judge this game after i sit down in play it..

[Cartesian3D]

look at disagrees... and look at 360 fans comments.. they realy scared...

HALO is just a good game with HUGE HYPE...

but Killzone is the NEXTGENERATION FIRST PERSON SHOOTER... just click on disagrees ... U really care about that game.. u will buy a PS3 for that... :) .. play your improved HALO 2 and wait for MGS4 and KILLZONE..

[xg-ei8ht]

I've seen hd of halo and while it looks pretty good, in terms of graphics, its about as good as enemy terrority quake wars, and that game is decent enough.

I've also got the crysis beta, and nothing touches it, except for killzone2, they are completely different games, on totally different systems using different engines, yet the fx these two companies are trying to employ is staggering.

These games are what next gen is all about.

Taking you into the game.

They are more movie like.

I don't blame Xbox fans for loving halo. Just don't be silly enough to compare it graphically.

[_Jedge]

Can't wait for this game to comeout now. Wow look at halo 3 fans defending their system and game. Killzone 2 will blow it away and if not we got UT3 which is also gonna kick halos a$$.

[DeZimatoR]

lmao, xbots even TRYING to compare Halo 3's graphics to Killzone 2's...man thats just sad.

At least pick a great looking game like UT III or CoD 4...

Anywyas, looking f*cking brilliant as usual, nice to see someone playing with God mode turned off, it was easy to see that you really can't stay out for long without getting blasted away (nearly died two times during the first video). Can't wait to see a new level :D

please show something at TGS...PLEASE!

[Takumi86]

Went to Gamestop today i PreOrder my Copy R&C ToD i got the Demo the game Visualy impressive is like watching PIXAR movie , the game is huge very colorful,THE DEMO IS MUST HAVE FOR A PS3 OWNER.

[IQUITN4G]

I'm seeing a lot of tech here - blood and body reaction to bullets(an advancement of what we saw in Goldeneye and Perfect Dark) etc and a quite believable game world.All fps should have these by now so it's about bloody time considering it isn't all that much harder to implement these things.

Killzone 2 is going to be pretty cool by my reckoning.

Gears has a much higher texture offering but it mostly feels like your playing in small arena sized sections.Killzone looks better overall in this respect thanks to the larger space that it's levels take place in.

The trouble with most FPS's is that they are mostly doing exactly the same thing time and time again.

Killzone2 will i think be one of the most attractive FPS, but i do question how more appealing this will make it.There's no doubt that a better looking game will be the choice for many but how much better can Killzone2 really be past the fancy tech.

So many well done shooters(and many more average ones)but few genuinely stand out for being exceptional.Halflife,Goldeneye ,Halo are exceptional and if Killzone can match this pedigree, then just maybe it will be remembered other than being another failed Halo killer.There is only so long before people start tiring of merely well done FPS like Resistance, Black, Area51 etc.These are reasonable games in the same way that most 2d platformers back in the 16bit era were also reasonably playable yet fairly forgettable.If Killzone2 plays much like a so so FPS yet looks fantastic, it will have failed to achieve what it needs to for Sony.

The reason i say all of this is because there is one thing i think people don't understand about a certain other franchise.Halo isn't just about doing what every other FPS does.Vehicles are as much part of how the game plays in the same way that weapons need to be there.To take vehicles out of Halo is to still have an extraordinary shooter, but their inclusion is something rather wonderful.Some shooters have vehicles as part of a game's section but that's fairly lame in comparison and acts more like a rest time until the next big push.There is of course even more to why Halo works better than the rest, which is to say Killzone2 will need to be something past the tech if it's to measure up to even the 1st two Halo games.And an admittedly very pretty Killzone with standard solid gameplay just wouldn't cut that.

Halo 3 has ramped things up considerably more this time round as well.

[cartman313]

Ok, I'm not here to bash Halo or anything. I do have a question though. What is so special about Halo? I don't understand what is so different about it and other FPS. I played Halo 1 Co-op back in the day, and I had fun. But I didn't see anything so different about it. So why is it glorified so much?

On another note, Killzone is looking crazy.(I'm a graphics whore)

[beavis4play]

the only thing special about halo series-it's the only first party fps microsoft has had. he11, it's one of only a couple of successful first party games ms has EVER had. easy for an average shooter to stand out when the first party pickings are so slim

[xhi4]

rofl i just watcched half way through the video, he throws the grenade and it hits the enemies head and his head reacts SOOO realisticaly and then the grenade drops behind him, his head TURNSSS BLOODY TURNNSSS to look at the grenade and then it goes BOOOM and he's in the air goooonneee hahhahaaha that is what NEXT GEN GAMING aut to be!

[Solotov]

The same can't be said for the A.I. Hope they fix it.

[Clinton514]

The AI did look very timid in the E3 demonstrations. Though there have been reports from various sources claiming that they've seen some really aggressive AI. I hope they show it off to the public soon.

[Clinton514]

Keep crying, your salty tears only make Killzone 2 that much more better. :)

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

In the end when I was done with the painting it kinda looked like this game.

Oh and the AI are about as smart as a flashlight with no batteries or a game console with no games.

[Blitzed]

When you were typing it, did you actually think that painting thing was funny. Dude, that was a lame attempt at humor.

Your right about the grey though, maybe if we are lucky they will change it so the Helghast wear pink florescent suits.

[fenderputty]

Things kinda blend in. That's the point of cammo. Then there's the fact that everything you've seen is at night. A time in which color does NOT stand out. Piss off. This game and it's direction is about realism. It does it on a level not captured with any other game as well.

[The Wood]

????????????????????????????

[Nth RooCH]

The environments look absolutely sweet as f***. I particularly loved the bit where the guy stops at a table, just to shoot through it so the things on it fall through. Really, the environment and the lighting are just phenomenal, along with the environmental damage.

Two things though. Firsst, it seems the character detail fell short of the original fmv that had everyone convinced it was gameplay. It still looks nice, but you can see it's not quite what they promised. And the other thing, the AI. Can anyone see a single point in that demo where the player was challenged? If it isn't the slow clambering over a wall, it's standing out in the middle of a clearing, taking piss poor pot shots at the player. The AI needs some serious tweaking. I mean if all you need to do for that final character is run behind him and shoot the obvious red box, something tells me this game will be freakishly easy.

[beavis4play]

i thought the '05 trailer characters looked too cartoony. and the reason the player wasn't challenged: in all these demos the player is playing the game in god mode. this was mentioned multiple times by the devs.

[beavis4play]

[Nth RooCH]

Not so. You can see at least two points in the demo where the player is being damaged, and going into that quiet, dark mode made famous in the Call of duty series. However, it isn't due to effective AI, more the player being a bit crap. The point I was making was look at the AI. If they're not slooooooowly cliiiiiimbing over a waaaaaall, they're standing out in the open, waiting to get shot in the face. Their shots are about as accurate as a Sony rep's opinions of the 360, and the final boss was laughable.

Don't get me wrong, the environment graphics, damage and lighting are amongst the best I've seen, and despite everyone saying it's too grey, I think that's plausibly intentional. But the AI looks below stock. It will seriously need to be upped, otherwise this will be a forgettable experience.

[black28]

this game will get 2/10 no AI

[Frances-the-Mute]

i hope killzone's AI is as good as the first game, i like killzone's environments and halos outdoor lighting

[PimpHandHappy]

That thing u get if your #1 on this site for posting news. It really brings out the flamer titles....

Sony will run over MS in 08

peace

and btw it has games now

[ALMIGHTYPS3]

Man,alot of XLOST fanboy jealousy comments on this post.

I'M JUST LOVIN IT

[jackie chann]

Why does everyone constantly compare these two games graphics?

One took an artistic design and one is trying to get a realistic feel. It would be like comparing mario sunshine to MGS2, you can't call either better because they took different art directions

[MRMagoo123]

I dont get how anyone can say its bland like one of u guys said its ment to be war not cartoons and the guy with the painting gag the only reason there where no colours left for you to choose is cos halo 3 used them all up on the guys clothes.who the hell would wear fluros in a war thats just stupid they just look like pretty boys not soldiers
btw i think killzone 2 looks really good i cant wait but there are other games coming out soon thatll take my mind of itand make the wait seem shorter

[gamesblow]

Always skeptic... but This is looking to be the best looking game ever made upon release. I say this cause Crysis will no doubt slip it's date a couple 12 times past Killzone 2's date.

Anyways, good on Sony. They've exceeded my expectations, that's for sure. I'm hard, hard, hard to please too.. When I look at something like Heavenly Sword I'm picking its graphics apart more than playing it. I do this alot with PS3 games, cause it was so expensive... Killzone, I think my complaints will be within' reason. HA!

[Odion]

I have to say that Killzone graphics really shine in 3 spots.

1. Character movement
2. The sky and background activity
3. Facial Expression

These are the real stand outs of the graphics.

[Bolts]

The problem with Halo 3 is it already look dated. It appears to have clearer textures and thats it. KZ 2 however feature poly counts that I didn't think is possible for a console game and effects that is usually seen in DX10 games.

Regardless both the PS3 and the Xbox 360 sucks. You would think that a "nextgen" gaming machine would feature at least 1 Gig of mem. WTF were they thinking?

[RenegadeRocks]

The Vdo Just doesn't play here! The player says "ready" and nothing plaays! :( Where else can I get this vdo?

[ASSASSYN 36o]

3:38 AI stupid first vid. The enemy soilder runs into a wall and can't figure out it is a wall. lol. Pretty game and all just a little to slow in the action for me. And I doubt the enemy numbers will jump higher than maybe four when engaged.

[sjappie]

has anyone noticed that all ps3 exclusives have this "oil painting" look?

[Hayabusa 117]

KZ2 looks pretty (especially the lighting) but gameplay looks incredibly linear...and small scale.

[sonarus]

agreed i wouldnt say incredibly linear but it does still look linear. The game looks massively impressive and i love the blood and the death animations. I still think the A.I. should be better i don't like to see enemies that just stand there after you toss grenades at them at least try to make a run for it. I don't like enemies that stand and try to shoot me out of cover when i can easily take them out e.t.c e.t.c. My greatest fear for this game is in its linearity hopefully thats just for that stage.

[Robearboy]

Hey dude, every comment you ever make on here is complete sh1te, is Gerrard an anagram for Retard? Is you real name Richard Head by any chance? You totally disregard the 360 yet its outselling your blueray player month by month so either show some balanced comments or STFU

[Robearboy]

[Saint Sony]

wow! They can pause the engine!.. lol. I guess the AI is paused for good.

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

This game will get rated low because of its name.

Everyone who played Killzone: Liberation on PSP knows how good it is. Graphics are the best I saw on Handheld and AI is very good.

Now lets see reviews.

http://psp.advancedmn.com/a...
http://www.deeko.com/psp/re...

You say who the hell are those sites. Well lets see IGN and Gamespot.

http://psp.ign.com/articles...
http://www.gamespot.com/psp...

Now lets see famous turd biased sites like 1up:
http://www.1up.com/do/revie...

Look every user post disagrees with him!

Also anyone who played Killzone: Liberation knows AI is very good so stop saying KZ2 AI will suck. Your Intelligence suck.

[elijah510]

yo for what i see in screenshots and gameplay i saw halo3 as a run n gun gameplay and the graphics are not cinematic but ok killzone 2 cinematic and will be tactical when they fixed the AI and when they finnish the game so shut up with the stupid ass AI comments. halo 3 will be the best shooter this year and the first 3 or 4 months next year with call of duty 4, haze, and unreal tournament. as an xbox 360 owner i kinda fhucked up cause i didnt preorder halo 3 i might get a used one if theres one, its sold out already. killzone 2 will be the best shooter in 2008 and the theres a new 399$ ps3 coming this christmas. so stop fighting fanboys. xbox and ps3 owners the features of what ive played in both console is awesome

[BUKKAKALYPSE]

Well looks like PS3 owners might get something worth playing. Very nice graphics but the AI looks terrible hopefully for sony owners it was on easy difficulty. All in all looks like a pretty solid game (although killzone one looked good and sucked) and i may have to buy a PS3 next year.

More good games for any platform means more good news for gamers!

[BirdSeed]

Sure Killzone 2 may look physically appealing, but I can almost guaruntee its going to be yet another junk game put out by PS3

[Xi]

yawn. Doesn't look like anything really new, or even that good anymore. A game in development for like 10 years better look this good.

[BackDoorMoi]

One more shooter....what's the deal?

[jaja1434]

My original unique thoughts...
I really hate it when it stops for a checkpoint. Its only a few seconds but I wish a little text appeared at the bottom as you hit the checkpoint, not after its done saving!

Moving on, I really liked the rag doll's when they were getting shot, very nice touch. Obviously the graphics are nice and pretty as well. Cant really say more than that though since nothing beyond that first level has really been shown.

Now it looks like a great game, but a system seller, I don't think so. But thats just my opinion as I am getting sick of shooters and would love some RPG action.

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

IF you tired of shooters and want RPGs aviod X360.

Buy a PS2 to play real RPGs. or PS3 to play those RPGs upscaled.

Buy a Nintendo DS for stuff like Dragon Quest.

Buy PSP for stuff like Valkryie Profile, Jean d'Arc, Final Fantasy Tactics etc.

[jaja1434]

Well ignoring your anti-360ness I already have a 360 and a PS2. I'm talking about RPG for this generation of consuls.

Ohh and why does everyone think the 360 is all shooters when percentage wise the PS3 has more?

Anyways I want Mass Effect, Eternal Sonata, Kingdom Hearts 3, and maybe FF13 I don't FF12 disappointed me so...

[skynidas]

awesome!

[doublertist]

wowwowowowowowowowowowow!!!!!! !

[zonetrooper5]

Yes it looks good but this game is not doing anything new, and some of you guys are saying its gonna kill Halo. Ermm, ok, good luck with that. I'm a big Halo fan and yes I know that Halo has never done anything new, nor has UT3, Haze or Killzone 2. Killzone 2 looks bloody brillant in the graphics department but its just the same thing with better graphics.

Gameplay is a must, if you don't get that then the game pretty much sucks.

[Jinxstar]

I'm a sony fan and I agreed with you. Halo does have good gameplay. Just for me not enough replay. Freaking guys jumping all over the place and going in circles jumpimg... Kinda not how I want a FPS... To me its like killing those guys in Bioshock that are all over the damn place all the time... Gets old quick to me. Hopefully KZ2 has good online. I liked Gears online for that reason as well. But I do agree with you on the whole nothing new thing.

[zonetrooper5]

I bet a sony fan disagreed with me because what I was saying was right, maybe it was a xbox fan as well. Killzone 2 is another shooter, like Halo 3, UT3 and Haze. Yes they will be fun to play but its not the bestest shooter of all time.

[doublertist]

your obviously a noob fanboy who doesnt even own a ps3 or are even remotely interested in this game, you just come in to flame a game which isnt even in its beta stage to make yourself feel good cuz you wont have something which is as visually stunning as this on your consol for a while(gears 2)

best shooter of all time? whos saying that? people are looking forward to a good shooter thats all this is, the graphics speak for themselves and the AI will be 1000x better than kz1 the creators are busting their butts to make sure thats the case, the game from the footage shown looks to be a blast to play and it has tons of eye candy on top of that.

so to sum things up, go troll some halo 3 forums and dont be a noob fanboy whos opinion has no validity because you dont have a ps3 or any appreciation for a good game in general for any consol other than your own...

[jaja1434]

Why would he go "troll" a Halo 3 forum when he place Halo 3 in the same category as KZ2. No no I have a feeling you didn't even bother to read his post, that or you lack simple comprehension skills, either way. And sadly he is right about Halo 3 killing KZ2. Now this has nothing to do with how good KZ2 is, its just a matter of brand name.

Kind of like how Shrek 3 did much better in the box office than say Knocked Up, even though Knocked Up was better, so very much better. Though the release dates for both games are what 4 or 5 months apart so I'm not really sure why you would compare the to anyways

Ohh and I hope to god this games AI is better than the original KZ. That game had horrible AI!

[doublertist]

no crap halo 3 is killing kz2 thats just about the stupidest thing ive ever heard
how can you compare a game which has a core audience and a game which is still trying to prove itself to the consumers....

and btw...what fps has done ANYTHING new? they are all the same...halo is the same in this way...its the same old thing, point, shoot, run, point, shoot, run, duck behind a corner and let your health come all the way back...repeat till the game is over...

looks like you are the one who doesnt have any simple comprehension skills because this forum is about the two new videos and like i said in my origional post the gameplay is yet unproven but the game is still in its prebeta stages and as the developers have stated they are working hard on improving the AI more than anything else to continue to improve the gameplay...

so do your research and come back when you really understand the situation...

[zonetrooper5]

Yes I'm a noob fanboy, I don't own a PS3 and I plan on getting a PS3 with Killzone 2, MSG4, Motorstorm and Resistance sometime in 2008. I do love Halo 3 and I'm getting the game next week. I just don't see how people are hyping this game up to be the best when all thats be shown is great graphics.

I own a PS2 and KZ1, although both of them are now dead, PS2 broke and I really didn't want to get a new one. I'm not a noob fanboy as you say, nearly all FPS these days do not do anything new. I was saying that if you don't get the gameplay right then no one will play it, no matter how good the graphics will be.

[SaMiR111]

HALO 3+ Killzone 2 -
