Assassins Creed has never been hyped about it graphics, it promised gameplay and delivered (well most agree it delivered), on the other hand Killzone 2's hype as all been about its graphics.
The gameplay in Killzone 2 looks awesome to me, the demonstrations so far look very promising, also great volumetric blood and amazing animation.
It seems its a common practice for Sony games... Wasn't there a similar fiasco for Motorstorm?
Motorstorm was a little rushed (to shut up the naysayers as early quick and dirty 360 ports weren't that good), but I love Motorstorm 3.0! The game with all the bells and whistles on (good DLC available), IMO Motorstorm is an amazing game and its graphics are very good as well. I love its super fast bike and ATV races, really lovely seeing 15 vehicles crossing and hopping like mad. 8-)
I haven't experienced a similar racing game since Stunt Car Racer on the Amiga with 2 player mulitplayer nulmodem link. In that game you used the boost as much as possible as well, made great leaps of faith, hopping over your opponent. Of course SCR is from the 80s and Motorstorm looks so much better and offers up to 12 player lag free online multiplay.
