...who still thinks that was in game footage back then?

Well, it obviously wasn't since GG said it wasn't.

Oh Reaaally???

The reason why I asked is because I ran in to this article...dated Feb 2008.

http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=93621

They have always been very confusing about the subject matter saying that it was what they are "aiming for" and that it was a "PS3 capable" demo.

They still won't come out and cleanly say..."our game won't look like this unless we wait for PS4"

You asked if the E3 2005 trailer was in game based solely on a Eurogamer article that clearly stated it's a target render?

 

"Everyone else named the E3 2005 video for what it was - a target render...."

 

Are you claiming GG was lying?

 

 Again...new terminology..."target render"

Here is the full quote...

"Everyone else named the E3 2005 video for what it was - a target render of what we thought would be possible on the PS3."

Yet here we are 3 years later...nothing looks as close to that movie on PS3 (or 360) including killzone 2.

I don't mean to be harsh on killzone 2 as I liked part 1...but I wanted to point out a brilliant marketing strategy that involves a pre-rendered cutscene, a "jet lagged" and "confused" employee and using new terminology to describe something that may be possible in the near future with a console system...like 10 years down the road.

The only problem with this strategy is that both Sony and Guerilla Games have been getting killed in forums since the 2005 E3.  In fact, Killzone 2 has become a flashpoint for fanboyism on gaming sites.
