do you own Killzone 2? cos i dont see how you can make the assumption that its 100 times more entertaining without having actually played through it.

Im just trying to make a point. The game does look good from the video; I like the graphics, and it looks intense with constant action, but youve gotta remember that its meant to as they're promoting it! the point of my argument wasnt that it looks crap, but that i will wait until it is actually released before making the assumption that its good or not, especially because Killzone 1 was hyped and turned out to be pretty bland and boring.

GoW = God of War
GeOW = Gears of War

Anyways, Gears brings nothing innovative, the blood splatter onto the screen can be traced back to SNES games, head blowing off from sniper shot = from their main franchise Unreal Tournament, chainsaw = Resident Evil. If Gears was made by another studio it would have sucked by in the great hands of Epic the game had great gameplay, thats what it did right.

You never played the first Killzone so its hard to explain, its the enemy's home planet. The were criminals outcasted by Earth to that planet. Its a horrid place with bad weather and has a horrid atmosphere. Their leader is an extremely smart scientist who created breathing tools for his people and eventually terraformed the planet. The fact that it's all gray is because of all the smoke in the atmosphere from the humans attacking the planet because Earth was attacked in the 1st game.

So gray = smoke, ash, and dust being blown around everywhere, and Gears = not innovative but good none the less.

*raises his hand in regards to the question about owning a PS3* Seriously, I almost dropped one myself when I saw the gameplay video for this game at E3....I wasn't quite expecting the graphics to match up to what the original trailer looked like, but unless I'm mistaken, they actually look better, and part of it was the realistic death animations. I played the first one, but only for about ten minutes until I decided it sucked and sold it. I'm pretty sure at least five of those minutes were spent blowing myself up with my own cooked grenade and laughing at how I ragdolled around.
I'm totally getting this game when it comes out. The graphics are on a level I haven't seen before, and if what they said about the gameplay is right, then that game is getting SO bought. By me.

 Sorry but this is still the alpha version, if you watched how the beta version will be:

Does this still look dull to you?

In fact I thought GEOW looked dull to but look how popular it was.

Is that picture even real? Is there anything else with that other than the picture? If there is any information, I'd like to read it.

yes killswitch was one of the 1st games to really use a cover system.. everyone thinks gears of war was for some reason.. i guess because its so popular..

I would imagine the people who think Gears of War had the first cover system would be the new casual gamers who bought a 360 because Halo 3 was being hyped and they thought Gears looked badass. And also hadn't played either any games or just PS2 games until 360 came out. I mean, personally, I think Killzone looks better than Bioshock, from what I've seen, or at least it more appeals to my taste. Most of the upgrades seem to amount to a seconday fire system you can use in conjunction with different weapons. If the story was a bit different, it could have just been adding mechanical flame throwers or liquid nitrogen or electricity guns you could graft onto yourself. Killzone just looks more fun to me from the gameplay I've seen from them both. Not to mention superior graphically, and lets face it, if I could play two games and they both played the exact same way, I'd go for the one with better graphics.

And no one can bash me for being a Sony fanboy. I also have a Wii, Twilight Princess, Resident Wii-vil, and I'm getting Metroid Prime 3 ASAP.

 It was my understanding that the purpose of a forum was to discuss differing opinions on games, and in this case a specific video.  Or is it now just opinions that are in line with your own?

That depends on the intentions of the people making those opinions, doesn't it?
