Killzone 2 footage. Its about fvkin time. Starwars Battlefront 3 would be pretty awesome.

WTF. They are trying to show that some 2005 sh!t can be done on ps3. I missed the part where KZ2 was a tech demo. Stop wasting time doing nonsense and get back to making that game.

Cwalat5880d ago

would you rather have the storyline spoiled of them showing a piece of the final game... thats not what i wan't,,

Fishy Fingers5880d ago (Edited 5880d ago )

The E3 trailer (05) was where GG set the bar for Killzone. Personally I wouldnt mind seeing the exact scene rendered in-engine and realtime. That way, I can compare them precisely. I occasionally watch that video now, just as a fan of CG and it still amazes me.

sonarus5880d ago

No but i would like something a lot more reassuring than a bloddy tech demo. Who gives a $hit if it matches 05 trailer anymore. Just make the game, finish it, release it and stop wasting our time.

I want killzone 2 as badly as the next ps3 owner but i don't feel the need to be taken for a ride. What do they possibly plan to gain from this? Just some media praise with no release date leaving gamers wanting more while they prance around in ps3 forums.

Fishy Fingers5880d ago

Yeah, your right, if we're getting one trailer and one trailer only, it better be something new!

jkhan5880d ago

Well hopefully it won't be a tech demo. I guess they will show a level where you can blow that hovercraft type of vehicle with a rocket launcher. By the way didn't the E3 2007 demo included a rocket launcher scene. It was pretty cool though. Judging by the graphics standard these days as compared to 2005, I would say they can certainly exceed almost every aspect.

fenderputty5880d ago

If they show the same section of gameplay that they showed last year at E3, I'll be fine. Just as long as that footage has been updated with a years worth of progress in textures, seamless loading, AI and whatever else they've done. Last years footage was amazing. I just hope they're in the beta instead of the illustrious "pre-alpha" thing we saw last.

JUST SHOW ME PROGRESS FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN GG.

Then I will be happy.

Fishy Fingers5880d ago (Edited 5880d ago )

Read comment 4/4.1

Should clear some of this up a bit.

fenderputty5880d ago

honestly, I'll be happy with anything. Just show me something.

A solid date would be nice too.

I hope E3 clears up a lot of crap about this game.

...hopefully Stranglehold will have decent voiceacting this time round.

Cwalat5880d ago

well chow-yun-fat is a nobrainer but the storyline this time will be interesting to see... Hope they do another collectors edition with one of John Woo movies in it... that was a great push for me into buying it...

Yi-Long5880d ago

... although it would be nice if this time the movie would be HD quality.

Hard Boiled is an awesome awesome movie though :)
I always enjoy watching it. Tony Leung is also great in it.

Corrupt5880d ago

No date specified. I wonder how long until we get to see it.

SWORDF1SH5880d ago

it will be shown b4 the end of april.

Fishy Fingers5880d ago

"More Killzone 2 footage will be shown to a select audience (includin PSM3) to prove that the E3 2005 footage featuring the breathless rocket launcher sequence as you squad barks orders in real time, can actually be done on the PS3."

I wish they stated where this^^ information came from. I need to know if it was someone from GG who brought up the E3 trailer or just PSM.

SWORDF1SH5880d ago

heres the exact words from the mag.
"To prove that the infamous E3 2005 footage of Killzone 2 (featuring the breatheless rocket launcher sequence as your squad barks orders in real-time) was real - or rather, possible on PS3 - Guerilla will be demoing a real-time version in April to a select audience...including, of course, PSM3.

Fishy Fingers5880d ago (Edited 5880d ago )

My hero. Thank you Swordf1sh. +bubble for your time.

edit: fishy, fingers, whatever. Its not exactly my real name... thank god :P

SWORDF1SH5880d ago

any time fishy. or do you prefer to be called mr fingers.

jkhan5880d ago

Thank you my lord. I don't care even if its rumor, seriously I was wondering today, what the hell happened, why is everyone so quite on the killzone 2 end.

Iamback5880d ago

First off this is forum post, some guy posted it. It might be really from PSM3 or complete bogus. If it is real i say MEH, why? Well since it is for selective audience, it means WE(what matters) wont be seeing it, which is lame.
They will show it to us during E3.

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow5d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1824d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie4d ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

ApocalypseShadow3d ago

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere4d ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow3d ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

OtterX5d ago

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney3d ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno4d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno4d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii4d ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno4d ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
