Just saw the video of Killzone 2, it looks much closer to the CGI footage than Motorstorm did. It definitely trumps Resistance and Halo 3 graphically. Does it surpass Gears of War? Doesn't seem so, when my brother downloads the PSN HD video I'll be able to make a better judgement. Some things about it look better from the video. I prefer is art style to the BALCO/Bonds look of the Gears of War characters. The textures do not seem near as sharp, but the video is low res so it could be making things appear worse than they are.

Pretty much agree with this.

Its the best looking thing I have seen for the PS3 to date - although I still prefer games like RE5 (more interesting).

This doesn't really affect / impact me though, for two reasons:

1/ Its ANOTHER shooter. Lost interest in these a long time ago.

2/ More games on the 360 still interest me than on PS3. So PS3 is still a distant 3rd (buying order) in my books - and I'm not even close to purchasing a 360. And when I do, its more for Mass Effect, RE5 and maybe a couple of others.

...

Actually, after watching the movie a few times:

a) The start of it (clouds, guys chatting) looks to be a "movie" (not FMV, using in-game engine). There are lots of tricks that can make this appear much prettier than it should be (streaming tri-lists, etc..) - especially when you have lots of space, ala BluRay.

b) The second part of the movie (in-game) does little to move me. IMO it looks like Gears of War - but with more characters and more going on - but less "interesting" (special?) stuff and a less interesting art direction.

...

Regardless - kudos to Sony & Guerrilla - for getting this as far as it is, and for generally proving the pundits wrong with the original FMV comparison.

This just puts MS under even more pressure, after their lack-lustre E3 presentation. 

 


I agree, that was one thing I would have liked in Gears, but then I suppose it would have ruined the whole theme if there were more than 4 in the squad. I would love a game where you fight in a very big battle, so I hope they can do this in Killzone, for the record I have never played any of the Call of Duties, but thats cos WW2 games don't interest me that much, I am looking to get COD4 tho due to the modern setting.
