Yeah, the final KZ2 game looked much better than this.

Not even close; it cranks up the shiny-ness and glare/contrast filters to try to look better, but even Killzone Shadowfall on PS4 doesn't have animations/smoke/explosions as good as the 2005 trailer.

The lighting is better in the final game, and the visuals are also more consistent overall, eg the faces stand out pretty weird in the reveal trailer.
It was a target render or basically concept art as they didn't have anything yet

The final game has a more striking style due to its heavy use of filters, shiny surfaces, and glare, but beyond these flashier aesthetics, things like animation and alpha/particles are far simpler.

Yup, they used what they had in '05 to spice things up, the flame effects look pretty dumb though. 05 has the smoke effects turned up to the max to hide the rather simple lighting. Animation is all tailor made for the trailer, it's one long cutscene as they admitted.

It's a bullshot trailer, as any trailer is years before release. Still the final game looks more pleasing despite less smoke effects and stitched together animations. The trailer looks even more grey and a bit cartoony in a way, not fitting the style of the final game. It would make an interesting looking game too.
