I would argue that it was not "remarkably close to the E3 2005 video" but that is (in a large part) because there were a lot of graphical effects that were being done in the E3 2005 video which made it obvious that it was pre-rendered ... I suspect that a lot of people are not really that impressed is that when you look at games like Half-Life 2 (2004), FEAR (2005), and Gears of War (2006) what we have seen from Killzone 2 does not make it stand out; certainly it heavily uses a lot of advanced graphical techniques but they're not new and they do not have the impact they once did. The artistic style and setting are generic and the graphical techniques have been used in countless other games so it doesn't have that much that is new or unique about it to really impress people. Essentially, evolutionary improvements do not have the impact of revolutionary improvements and there is nothing revolutionary about Killzone 2. |
I don't think your even remotely in touch with the average FPS player HappySqurriel. People are going crazy over this video on many of the sites it's being shown on, with page after page of comments giving it praise. And it's up against some stiff competition this year.
Killzone looks extremely impressive, visually it's a stunner. It's also home to a myriad of next-gen effects. It's pushing boundaries, on the PS3, and for the FPS genre.
