Forums - Sony Discussion - CONFIRMED: First Real Killzone Screenshot

You can see in the lost planet screen, where the creases are they look like bumps in the clothes, making it look like it's just painted on the body of the characters. The illusion of separation of the clothes from the actual body is lacking which is exactly what I feel the uniform in Killzone achieves.

Still, the clothes in Lost Planet looks more real (Especially on the main character and the girl) than the armor in Gears.



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

Yeah Lost Planet looks really good as well.

 Hell, FEAR looks better than this and that's nearly 2 years old now. This screenshot looks pencil drawn at best.


 If all characters looked as good as if they are drawn in detail then that would actually be great. I was actually thinking the same thing, the Helghast almost looks drawn the level of detail and it is amazing.

Everyone keep in mind this is pre Alpha before even starting to complain about wall texture and shadow work.

Wow.... people are so optimistic!

5 - 6 months isn't a long time to be working on graphics and upgrading graphics, that's part of engine development, so the core 'look' of the game will not change, the only thing that will change are a few extra effects that are added in in the end and little details here and there.

I know this post will sound like a bashing post, but seriously you can see heaps from this screen shot that tell me it's going to be a big disappointment.

The character art is good, and the model detail looks fantastic.

The shadow? What the? The PS3 can do better than that? block polygonal mess, not self shadowed.

The textures in the background and the wall are shocking, they remind me of Super Mario Sunshine disgusting rock wall texture, and the viewpoint gun just looks low detailed and not overly impressive on the texture side of things... quite disappointed am I.

That said, it's only one screenshot and it's a bit un-fair to judge on that, but I think this game deserves all of the scrutiny it deserves since Sony touted that CG trailer as 'in game'.

 People are saying that Halo 3 will look 100% better than the beta, so I think it's possible that if this was an early build image, then it can look better.

Even in the lower resolution pictures their is a stark contrast. Your full resolution shot makes things long even worse for Killzone 2, OriGin. I'll need more screen shots to make a definitive conclusion but given the fact that Sony is showing the game behind closed doors at E3, we probably won't see any new screenshots any time soon.

Edit: Bungie themselves said that Halo 3 wouldn't look as good as Gears of War. Killzone 2 on the other hand is supposed to trump Gears of War graphically according to the Sony faithful. It supposed to look better than the trailer according to Phil Harrison. The screen shot shows that neither is true.



It looks pretty dissapointing.

Nothing compared to the trailer.

And honestly: If this clothes look realistic, what does Gears of War look like?

@cklmb: Gears of War looks better. That´s just a fact at this point. We should give the game some time, though. So let´s wait for new trailers and bigger footage.

I never said anything near that this screen looks better than Gears of War. I said the detail on the helghast looks better than the detail of the bodies of the gears guys (not counting faces here).

You seriously think Gears clothes looks realistic? That's like the only thing that doesn't seem realistic to me in the whole game. 

Also don't compare to the trailer until you see open areas and not a screen from a dark corner.

I think that's a farce... the multiplayer in Halo 3 will not look much better than what has been experienced so far... multi isn't about graphics, I'm sure the single player campaign will have a MUCH better look to it, that's for certain but that's got nothing to do with beta - released game.

People don't understand development very well, look at anything in the beta and pre-beta state and you can see little details that are added but the main graphic detail remains the same.

So what? Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3 and Smash Bros are all 4 or 5 months away so graphically they will be tuned HEAPS more? I've heard this FOREVER all thought last generation and every time the game came out looking pretty much the same as the 'beta' version.

Yep I know what you mean about the 'creases' but it's just a shader, it's not like it's using model physics... it really isn't very impressive at all, it's like PS3 fanboys have 'hype' goggles on.





Will we have some VIDEO visual released from E3 ?


YES ? or NO ?

If someone know ...


Time to Work !
