+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted May 7, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted May 7, 2008 (edited) Release date confirmed: February 09 Trailer plus just over 5 minutes of gameplay (very good quality) : http://www.gamersyde.com/news_6429_26353_2_en.html 12 mins of gameplay including level intro (quality not as good as above) : http://www.jeux-france.com/news26836_image...killzone-2.html 4 mins of gameplay (good quality) - http://www.jeuxvideo.tv/video/killzone-2.html#view:242742 It looks like our coverage of the Gamer's Day is now almost done, so we decided to reencode our Killzone 2 footage with the best quality possible. Full 720p resolution and better deinterlacing/deblending helps quite a bit to see the little details everywhere. I'm sure the numerous fans of the game will be pleased! 720p Video: http://www.gamersyde.com/news_6441_en.html Killzone 2 AI Plans - http://aigamedev.com/site/2008-plan-killzone Watch the gameplay, the game is smooth as, and it looks awesome! The trailer clip (first link above) shows off some nice stuff as well. Think this is the best looking game on a console to date, and it still has 9 months left in production! After watching the videos, what does everyone else think?

Sethos Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I bet they don't :D Yeah, because tons of blur, bland textures and sophisticated lighting is impossible to do.

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted May 7, 2008 Author Subscriber² Share Posted May 7, 2008 12 minutes of footage, shows the intro to the level as well - http://www.jeux-france.com/news26836_image...killzone-2.html Not as good quality as the above captures, but it's nice to see the intro :D Yeah, because tons of blur, bland textures and sophisticated lighting is impossible to do. Wow you make the graphics sound just great :D Sorry, but I don't think anyone can diss the graphics here on a console, especially of a game 9 months before release - Which for whatever reason does still say pre-alpha. The game isn't eye popping on the colour pallet side of things, but they look great. As for "blur", it's more fast moving things going in-and out of focus, something I've not really seen any other game do. Watch when reloading a gun, I think it's a great effect.

BajiRav Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Release date confirmed: February 09 :rofl: Think this is the best looking game on a console to date, and it still has 9 months left in production! I don't think so. It is looking to be a slightly better Gears of War and for a game almost 3 years into making, this is expected. I guess by the time it is out, GoW2 would have surpassed it easily?

HawkMan Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 hmm doesn't really look better than what we have today, like CoD4 and such. and they arequite greedy with the polycount, or maybe 3 sided rebar and such is the way of the future :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/635477-gd08-killzone-2-picturesvideosrelease-date/#findComment-589381145 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is looking to be a slightly better Gears of War and for a game almost 3 years into making, this is expected. I guess by the time it is out, GoW2 would have surpassed it easily? The game has never had a release date before. People said 2008 but the developers never confirmed anything. It would be tough on the RFOM2 developers to put both these titles out within a month, they are competing against competition from other platforms, not themselves - However I doubt many people will care about that, and just go slap some diss towards Sony due to the game not coming out in 2008. As for the graphics, say whatever you want, but I've certainly not played anything FPS wise on a console that looks MORE impressive than this.

"killzone 1 .. sucked before .. so what made you think we wanted more..." Not to be biased or anything .. but delayed .. again? sigh For it to be delayed, the developers would have had to have given us a release date. They didn't. Its not delayed at all, its finally been given a release date.

Menge Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 am I the only one noticing that the smoke in the first screenshots (the ones that look like real gameplay) is being rendered at half the original resolution?

bobbytomorow Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I have no doubt that this game is going to kill. It has looked incredible since it was unveiled. Too bad its still so far off though the Playstation could really use an exclusive killer app sooner rather than later, I think announcing it that far off is going to disappoint a lot of people, I know I am. am I the only one noticing that the smoke in the first screenshots (the ones that look like real gameplay) is being rendered at half the original resolution? Did you miss the part that said that its not set to release till feb NEXT year? :rolleyes: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/635477-gd08-killzone-2-picturesvideosrelease-date/#findComment-589381613 Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacer Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 It looks pretty damn good. But I have a feeling GoW2 will look just as good. We still have 9-10 months to find out though. :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/635477-gd08-killzone-2-picturesvideosrelease-date/#findComment-589381631 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CY:G Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 From the pictures, it doesn't really look that impressive, but i am gonna have to see it running at 720p to judge it, some GoW pictures make the game look bland but when you actually see it running its Jaw dropping (at least back when it was released) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/635477-gd08-killzone-2-picturesvideosrelease-date/#findComment-589382080 Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnzoFX Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I agree KZ2 looks great. But it almost felt like I was watching COD4 gameplay. Aside from the weapon looking/sounding the same, It too has the same monotone color look to it. That's always bugged me about games. Probably a reason I was never drawn to Gears of War. Oh, and from what I could tell the voicing sounded similar too. Big rough necks for lack of a better word. Seems to want to appeal to Americans? I dunno. It really should have its own style and look. Yes, yes its still about a year away, so here's hoping they make proper changes. Graphically it looks top-notch.

The colours are what you would expect from the location during a war though, are they not? I agree, its very grey, but I think it looks and feels superb.
