I won't answer for two reasons. First you have dodged my question for 3-4 posts now, and secondly because I have answered your question twice already and you have skimmed over those posts and just asked the same question again. I will give you a freebie though and point out that Killzone: Liberation is just a mediocre FPS and was released after Sony bought the studio out. Very strong evidence that they continue to be a mediocre studio.

What evidence do you have that this gameplay of this game is amazing?

 there is little evidence that any game will be amazing until u play it.  xbox fanboys got on ps fanboys for the cg, so when it turns out dam good they deserve to gloat.


 If it turns out that it lives up to the hype you will not see me downplaying its success. Gloat away. I will probably only post in a thread about the game again if someone wanted me to openly admit I was wrong, but I don't see that happening. Until then, though, the sony fans are trumpeting an unproven IP once again. That has not had the best track record this gen.

 

SO, YOUR POINT, that people SHOULDN`T be hyped(EXCITED) about game, till it will be released? RIGHT?
That`s kinda lame, i would say. I saw some videos about game, i read some info, now i`m excited about the game, while you say, i shouldn`t be, till game is released.

 Not exactly what I am saying. What I am saying is you shouldn't go out everywhere and yell that a game you know you will like, but comes from a studio with a history of not so good games is going to be the greatest game ever! If people were just claiming it would be a pretty good game I wouldn't bother saying anything. The problem is people are saying it will be better than GT5 which is a guaranteed system seller and easily a contestant for GoTY if the developers just maintain their previous quality of work. Most games just never reach that level of excellence and it bothers me sometimes to see it diminished when people lump a possible "good" game with the games that will define the console.

Just because YOU said so? =))))) WHy i should do like YOU said and not like I WANT? =))

In my worst predictions, KZ2 will be just a GOOD game, with AMAZING graphics.
GOOD GAME - This is enough, for me and many other people to play it.

The lighting in this game is so awesome. It is the key reason why it looks so good. It truly gives it a sense of realism, the way every detail is shown in relief in the lighting.

Here's my favorite screen demonstrating the awesomeness of their lighting engine:

Just look at the way the light from his goggles reflects onto his arm, and then back onto the front of his helmet!



@Crazzy

I obviously am just suggesting that you do it as you will set yourself up for disapointment and ridicule. The next Lair is right around the corner, and it could honestly be any title on any system that takes failure to a whole new level. Promoting parts you know are solid and downplaying the weakness is what seems best imo. You have your way, and I have mine. To each their own I say.

As for your video, well Iit looks very pretty I guess. I don't have a distinguishing eye for graphical detail so that appeal of games is always lost on me. Truth be told I have never seen a difference between 480i and 1080p. I also think a VHS tape looks and sounds just as good as a blu-ray disc. Before you ask, yes I have seen them set-up properly and experienced the whole 9 yards.

^yes it does look good but do not hyp a game just because of the graphics

The JPG image looks better COD4. AWESOME!!!!



@Gnizmo:

Lair WAS RUSHED - FACT.
KZ2 will be POLISHED - FACT(or it would be released in 2007).
Also i can usually tell the difference between 30fps and 60fps game.

@brute:
why not? Just because it may turn to be another LAIR? I`m OPTIMISTIC, i guess YOU NOT. =)

I'm not saying it is going to be a bad game nor do I want it to be because I am a big fan of the PS3, but why hyped so much after Killzone(PS2) and Killzone Liberation(PSP) just got average reviews reviews, nothing really special.

Did I miss something or some announcment to give the game so much hype or what?


 The same reason Sega is NOT hyping up their super-secret new system. The Sega Atomiswave (I shit you not)
