I've no idea what makes gamers turn so frigging nasty when Devs don't cater to their every whim and I'm not going to start guessing now - if you want to go be excited about Eight Days then be my guest. You're not commiting apostacy, nobody's going to want to tear you to pieces for it. You're really not going to hurt my feelings.

But really - how you can turn 'looks better than any other PS3 game in development (even Killzone 2!)' into Killzone 2 being a failure beggars belief. Is there only allowed to be one good game at once? When it is news that a game looks better than Killzone 2, I'd say that suggests that Killzone 2 looks pretty damn good.

The E3 2005 trailer was NOT false. One confused Sony rep claimed it was a movie from the game engine - one guy blizted out of his mind on fatigue, jetlag and the madness that is E3. One guy not at all affiliated with Guerrilla Games - probably with a head full of 30 different titles. Everyone else named the E3 2005 video for what it was - a target render of what we thought would be possible on the PS3. Something we would be aiming for.

Then, during E3 2007, in front of the majority of the gaming journalist press we released a trailer of Pre-Alpha code running and demonstrated a PLAYABLE Killzone 2 that stunned the industry. If you know me at all from watching me answer questions you know that I'm not prone to hyperbole in the slightest. The quotes coming from those sessions included 'jaw dropping', 'amazing', 'stunning' and 'a complete vindication'. Notwithstanding that, you decide that the E3 2007 sessions failed - a completely reversed opinion from just about everyone who saw it running or played it. What you say 'everybody' knows is something that almost nobody believes.

The truth is that NOBODY is releasing the definitive game of the PS3 only 3 years into it's lifespan. And no sane person would even try to release 'the definitive game' - because who knows what will make the definitive game definitive? The only shame here are whatever feelings made you decide to come in and post things that even you must know are untrue, simply in an attempt to score points and / or upset people."
Hmm, somebody is under some pressure!

How did he lose his cool?



I thought it was proven that the E3 trailer was made by a CGI studio in England.

 well, he's not exaclty.....bah, forget it. ¬_¬




LoL well the longer they wait for it to come out the crappier the graphics may seem for some folks. Bottomline whenever it comes out it will be compared to games that come out around that time which may or may not look better. I say find a sweet spot where they think it looks better then anything and release the damn thing.

Seriously, developers should know better than to respond to internet idiocy. Go make your game and make it good. It could be the best game ever and intrawebtards will still complain about it. Grow up.

now now.. unless you are implying forums like this one are the breeding ground for 'internet idiocy'. ;), I disagree, there are a lot of knowledgeable forum users, but it's the idiots who stand out.

I'm glad the guy took his own time to reply, Good for him. Now hopefully he's as full of energy during his game programing as he is passionate about his game.

A dev responding to a post about his project in an Internet forum is nuts in the extreme. What did he hope to accomplish? Did he really think that he could convince people of his position?

I can understand a publisher or dev responding to an article on a magazine publisher's site or to an article in a magazine, but to do so in an online forum is like pulling a gun in a police bar.

Exactly. Nothing good ever comes of it. Be a professional and just let it slide off your back.
