First ACTUAL Killzone 2 shot
polycounter lvl 19
Good god, this is the game that looks better than the E3 trailer huh...

i kinda doubt its an official screenshot. doesnt really show anything special or unique and the edgy shadow on the wall looks a bit unfortunate
Either way, uhh, the eyes on that guy look pretty cool...
to this
Atleast it looks better than Killzone 1.
I really don't know what happened to people (including professional game devs) at the time of the PS3s announcement. They somehow momentarily forgot that games are made out of polygons and believed that procedural hair and fully subdivsion surface, realtime radiosity lit worlds were perfectly feasible.
I still fondly remember the passionate arguments from both sides, aah good times.
hehe i guess we all wanted it to be true

So, hahah, what's funny is, if you have a quick browse through the buzz on the intramaweb (kotaku for example) people *still* desperately cling to the original hope. The newest 'theory' based on some poor fanboy photoshopping is that this shot is actually a poster on a wall in game. Haha, awesome.
Granted the whole e3 presentation was silly, killzone for the ps2 looked like a real impressive game visually. From what little i played of it, it looked pretty damn nice in motion.
so given that, i still want to see a realtime presentation of the game in motion. Some random screenshot probably supplied by a clueless and impatient PR person isnt enough to start another heated debate.
Actually I think Killzone suffered from fairly major technical issues in motion. The framerate was crappy, and the frame dropping LOD animation system was heinous, which gave me little hope for its sequel. But in stills it looked good. I never said Killzone 2 was going to be a pile of poo, all I ever had an issue with was blatantly presenting a pre-rendered movie as in game footage.
there was some kind of a tech demo either at gdc or e3 last year .. but it was behind closed doors...

We got all that Daz... PS3 can do anything..
haha, not quite, but.. i am surprised at what it can do when in the hands of people who know what they are doing. I cant think of anyone who hated the ps3 more than me until i actually got to make stuff for it, and without saying too much, i am amazed at some of the stuff i have been seeing coming down the pipe at work lately.. given also that we are the only dev that has attempted to release a second generation title in the first year of the console launch, i think we have learned a lot about the hardware by doing this.. yes the ps3 is a bitch to develop for, but what i think this will ensure is that every year the games on the ps3 will look better and better, very similar to the ps2..
anyway back on topic...
that looks like ballz..
Oh, wow, wait -- what if that's a mirror? Would explain the weird coloration change and oddly placed laser point.

no, there's a wall to the left of that guy, and no wall to the left of the player.
it does look sloppy, but this is the first ingame image, give it some time. But I agree with Daz about them really making it harder for themselves with their whole fiasco way back when.
I'll be the first to say, after viewing this screenshot, the gameplay looks awesome! We've only begun to lick our way to the chewy center of the PS3's immeasurable capabilites.
yes, there is no way killzone can live up to the hype it has created for itself..
but, if they purposely release a shitty shot, and every forum in world goes apeshit cause it looks like crap, then they really only have to make the game appear better than the shitty screenshot, not live up to prerendered movies..
this seems like a much more obtainable goal

PS: MGS4 360 bound?
well, not with "us," since we'll sit around and pick apart every screenshot that gets in front of us.
So I'm not going to make any real judgement until I actually see moving "realtime in-game" footage, or until I actually play the game itself.

i will now go to my friends and scream and dance the "i told you so" song and dance.
sorry to poop on parties of those who were anticipating this game, and i don't wanna say "i knew it", but i [for some weird reason] had a feeling.
