A new issue of a Polish magazine has already hit the internet with some new pictures and the first details. Some of them are as follow:

[QUOTE]- Engine is nearly 1:1 from PS3 version
- They added a few new gimmicks to the engine, so they can utilize more PS Vita
- Game is gorgeous, clear and crispy textures, big draw distances
- Character models are awesome, the same with animation
- Stable FPS even with gigantic action inside levels
- Literally - game is like portable Killzone 3, looking better than Uncharted.[/QUOTE]

It looks absolutely [I]staggering[/I].

The story direction and setting of this need to influence KZ4 in some way. It seems too awesome.

It looks just like the ps3 version. And on a OLED? Holy shit.

Sony needs to get their 1st parties making vita games. Deserves to be doomed.

Oh... wait.

AKA get to play as helgast.

What do they 'better' than Uncharted, like Golden Abyss better?

[QUOTE=Trevelyon;46968577]What do they 'better' than Uncharted, like Golden Abyss better?[/QUOTE]

Golden Abyss looks shit compared to PS3 version. Maybe they're emphasizing that it looks more like PS3 Killzone when compared to Uncharted's look compared to PS3.

AWWW YEAAHHHH. Let the hype begin. I think we're heading into E3 season gentlemen. I can sense it!

AH! I need to play this game, now. Native resolution? AA?

Can't wait for what they have in store for this game. Could be a huge lift for Vita sales if it blows people away.

[QUOTE=Trevelyon;46968577]What do they 'better' than Uncharted, like Golden Abyss better?[/QUOTE]

Probably, yeah, since it still stands as the best looking Vita game.

[img]http://www.emuglx.org/nextemuforums/images/smilies/wow.gif[/img] This souns delicious! Finaly some big 1st party effort after launch of the console. I cant wait for more previews and media.

Split bump.

GG's ability to create beautiful and atmospheric worlds, great gun play, splendid animation are matched their incompetence pertaining to plot, characters and dialogues. This franchise could have been so much more and yet they continue to pummel at the wrong direction.

I would contest that given the mitigating factor presented by the small screen size.

[QUOTE]- They added a few new gimmicks to the engine, so they can utilize more PS Vita[/QUOTE]
Oh god more touchscreen bullshit. Please have an option to turn off this shit.

I'm expecting it to look a LOT better than the mediocre debut which was a long time ago now. Hopefully more details on the SP campaign which is all I care about.

[QUOTE=Deadbeat]Oh god more touchscreen bullshit.[/QUOTE]

If that's all we get then we'll have dodged a massive bullet. No motion or back touch crap will feel refreshing.

Just to clear things - there will be a lot of new information but for now - I can't write a thing. But believe - it's worth for waiting. I think that embargoes will go up somewhere around Wednesday.

I wouldn't mind more gyro aiming for the sniper rifles similar to U:GA.

Excellent.

[QUOTE=Iacobellis;46969035]I wouldn't mind more gyro aiming for the sniper rifles similar to U:GA.[/QUOTE]
But for every little good idea you get scratching away sand/dirt. Its better if theres an option to turn off the gimmicks.

Sorry for requesting links to scans, wasn't thinking.

If there's a price cut or a nice bundle around release, this game could probably make me finally take the plunge.

[QUOTE=Iacobellis;46969035]I wouldn't mind more gyro aiming for the sniper rifles similar to U:GA.[/QUOTE]

I don't know how similar it was to Killzone 2's sniper/Sixaxis implementation, but I loved that. It was great for making tiny adjustments in aiming, and I was really bummed when I got to the first sniping section of Killzone 3 and couldn't do it.

Remove those. Not allowed on GAF.

it's not a scan

And that "point your Vita towards the sun" gimmick.

Honestly, I didn't even mind scratching dirt too much, but that one is just straight-up bullshit.

[QUOTE=RoboPlato;46969170]Remove those. Not allowed on GAF.[/QUOTE]

That's PSXE's official site. Those are allowed.

This might be the game that shows the potential of a powerful, gaming-exclusive handheld like the Vita. Let's hope it is 1) good, and 2) Sony advertises it.

[QUOTE=Trevelyon;46968577]What do they 'better' than Uncharted, like Golden Abyss better?[/QUOTE]

Oh, It's added by me. It means that graphically it's better than Uncharted. From technical point of view, 'cause it's always design side of game :)

[QUOTE=KurowaSan;46969223]it's not a scan[/QUOTE]

Ah, didn't see that it was from the magazine's own site. You're good, my mistake.

Eh, looks like they're sticking with KZ3's "colorful" outdoors environments. Was hoping they went back to KZ2 style.

[QUOTE=H_Prestige;46969289]Eh, looks like they're sticking with KZ3's "colorful" outdoors environments. Was hoping they went back to KZ2 style.[/QUOTE]

Colorful environments would look amazing on the OLED screen. I need something to get the dull aftertaste from BO: Declassified out of my mouth.

Yeah this is going to be pretty amazing.

Please be co-op!

[QUOTE=H_Prestige;46969289]Eh, looks like they're sticking with KZ3's "colorful" outdoors environments. Was hoping they went back to KZ2 style.[/QUOTE]

I thought the color they added to KZ3 was great especially the "jungle". Definitely one of my favorite locations in the game and MP.

Man, I'm ready for some fps love on the vita. Put those sticks to use!

WOW that looks insane.

[QUOTE=Iacobellis;46969329]Colorful environments would look amazing on the OLED screen. I need something to get the dull aftertaste from BO: Declassified out of my mouth.[/QUOTE]

Black tones are even better on OLED. Dat inkiness.

Goddamn. Sony 1st party rocks.

I see Tearaway info. I hope these games can give the VITA a little bump in sales.

I hope this game delivers. Looks cool though.

Excite. Is there a tearaway thread?

Damn that looks good. Can't wait for some official screenshots.

I don't even like Killzone really, and I'm excited for this. The environments look wonderful. Just don't like the forced touchscreen crap.

Hard to tell from the tiny screen shots, but it looks very comparable to the PS3 version.

Color me impressed....hope the multiplayer is scaled down and plays more like KZ2.

Edit: Where are you people seeing Tearaway?

And I am hyped. Can't wait to see people truly start to tap the Vita hardware. Uncharted looked great aside from IQ and it was a launch game.



Also, if the gameplay is as good as KZ2 (or even 3 really) it will be a system seller. If I showed any of my casual friends an FPS looking and playing as good as KZ on a freaking handheld they would lose it.

[QUOTE=VanWinkle;46969385]WOW that looks insane.[/QUOTE]

Preach it sista!

Finally some information!!1

[QUOTE=Deadbeat;46968962]Oh god more touchscreen bullshit. Please have an option to turn off this shit.[/QUOTE]

Uhh.. dude, that doesn't sound like anything gameplay related. They talk about making some adjustments to the ENGINE, and given that (IIRC) they are using the same engine they used for KZ3, it simply means they are utilizing Vita's hardware better for the game and are doing some neat-o stuff with some effects or something, which has nothing to do with what they are doing with the gameplay.

[QUOTE=James Sawyer Ford;46969589]Edit: Where are you people seeing Tearaway?[/QUOTE]Its like right under the killzone pictures in the link.

I am so looking forward to this. Cambridge are a fantastic studio, and the game stars whole new characters! That's what has me most excited.

[QUOTE=i-Lo;46968931]I would contest that given the mitigating factor presented by the small screen size.[/QUOTE]

Uncharted's problem is that it has absolutely terrible IQ. If they got it running at native res it would look mindblowing.
