This game looks so good. discuss~!

:)
 
I guess I will have to spice this topic up a bit.

This game is supposed to be released September but expect delays.
This first Killzone didn't bring us much to the table. The frame write was really horrible, making controlling the game extremely difficult. All the movements felt edgy and very unnatural. The game itself was just meh, but it made up for it in an awesome story line and characters.

Killzone Liberation: a sequel came out for the PSP and it was pretty fun. Fun game play a new third person perspective gave it a very "Neo-Contra" feel.
I wanted more though.

Killzone2 a bit of a confusing name since there was Liberation, some refer to it as Killzone3 since it is the third in the series but the official title is Killzone2
The first trailer I saw for this was the most beautiful game play I had ever saw. Months later I found out that was not game play, wasn't even part of the game, just a nice cinema that they sped up the frame rate to make really good and crisp, you tricky bastards.

When the official trailer was released I was not disappointed. This game is beautiful. The graphics are stunning, absolutely stunning. The cinemas are to "die for" Looks like you’re watching a CGI movie that blows Pixar out of the water, but the game play doesn't fall far behind.

One of the most interesting things I found out about this game is the way the designers made the blood. Yes the blood in this game will be beautiful, and don't drag Gears of War blood into this because it won't compare.

Instead of making the blood a texture like all previous games have before, they made it a liquid. Its hard to understand but the developers put a lot of time into the blood in killzone2. The blood will flow more realistically and look more realistically than any other game before. When you shoot someone the blood will spray into different directions and never be the same. Blood will drip, move, and, flow. You kill an enemy on a hill there blood will flow accordingly. You kill someone on a ledge there blood will drip accordingly. Well that’s the idea at least. This makes me very interested to see how this system actually works out.

I’m sure the story will not be lacking either since the first one was so well done.

I’m looking forward to this game with great anticipation. This will be one of the dynamic PS3 exclusives being released soon.
 
We're looking at an '09 release. I might get more excited when we get closer, but for now it is just another delayed game losing hype.
 
This shit keeps getting pushed back to much and it hasnt shown me anything amazing yet for it to be worth my time. The first game was very okay, but nothing compared to Socom 2 at the time. ATM not interested.
 
The gameplay demonstration was amazing, but by 09 will that still be considered impressive? I don't know, Resistance 2 might end up looking better and come out soon. I think it's a given Resistance gameplay is going to be better.
 
I've actually considered ignoring what's to come and focus on what's on the market from now on. Development for games with the most complexed attributes take forever to be released.

This is the most important comment this thread can have. Thank you fire for bringing it up. Games like Zillzone2 and FF13 are great looking games as of now. They are not coming out till 09' for sure. The delays could make it late 09'... Will these games be incredible visually in late 09'? Judging by how Farcry2, Resistance2 and Gears2 are said to look... It may be far before KZ2 and FF13 that we see those visuals as standard. At least i hope.

I agree 100%. Who knows though, maybe FFXIII and Killzone2 will push the bar even beyond Resistance2 and Gears2. Both systems still have some unused power. Hell, Gears1 as visually stunning as it was, only used 6 gigs of the 9 on a DVD9. Couple that with the max power of the 360 and you have a game that will look beautiful. MG4 for the PS3 will look amazing, but even that I doubt make the PS3 run at full power. I don't think we will see what these systems can fully do yet, although I think Gears2 might as far as the 360 can touch.
 
Yes, those are good points, im glad you mentioned them. I don't know when they actually started devoloping the game, the original release of the trailer was not gameplay or even a cinema, was just some CGI w/ a sped up framrate which I mentioned. They might have not started devolopment until last year sometime or even a year before. Games like GoW2 are not just starting to be devoloped they have been in production, so I really don't see this game falling to far behind as far as graphics are concerned.

PC games and Next Gen Console games graphics are slowly but surely comming to there hieght. You can only make a game look so good. As they reach there cap the main focus seems to be on game physics and game mechanics.

I really don't think GoW2 and Fall of man 2 (possible title, "Rise of Man"?) Will exceed killzone2 as far as graphics go. Game physics will continue to adavnce, but from what I understand they have been working hard on Killzone2's physics to make it as real as possible.
 
I know what will happen once we hit that graphical limit you speak of... People will actually have to try and be artists... They will need to be... Dont say it... Be CREATIVE!!! Just looking good wont matter anymore and you actually will need some high quality and very different from what surrounds ya, art style. Not just gray pixels!! Woot!
 
Character graphics are one thing and they have seemed to be doing those rather well, and games like Killzone2 MGS4 GoW2 ect. won't seem to dispoint. What lacks in a lot of game is enviorment graphics.

So I'm looking foward to amazing landscapes, not just a 2-D picture pasted in the background.

The physics are what I'm looking forward too. I want to be ablt to shoot a wall and little pieces of brick chip off, and every bullet hole looks different. Killzone2 is bringing some these aspics into the game, like i mentioned with the blood. I'm sure other games are going to have some groundbreaking physics, but nothing I have heard from yet, maybe why I'm looking forward to Killzone2 so much.

You did not just say game developers need to be CREATIVE!! That is blasphemy lol

I have a pretty strong suspicion that Elem doesn't actually search for threads, and just says he does.
 
Anyways, back on topic ^_^

I've been interested in this game for a while, not much of a Killzone fan so I'm not too hyped, I just expect a very good shooter =)
 
Demo came out on Euro PSN today right? Gonna have to get back on my europe account and dl that.

Is it only on ps?

Only on PS3, yes.

By the way. European pre-orders for Killzone 2 have hit 1.1 million now. Can anyone add on how many pre-orders have been received in the US?
