Killzone 2 is without a doubt my least favorite game of this generation but I may have to give them another chance because the graphics are pretty and they managed to pick out a good typeface for their subtitle.

Yes I'm shallow, fuck you.
 
Infamous for me. But I'm also getting Killzone on launch day as well.

No-one else suspicious sony might jsut sit on Infamous until a month or so after launch, what with Assassin's Creed 4 and Watchdogs also there at launch? I really want Infamous at launch but I could see someone questions the business sense over there.

As for SF, super psyched for it too. Always enjoyed KZ, and honestly felt alot of KZ3's annoyances were down to the previous mandate to cater for 3d. This should be awesome.

Imagine how badass that would look without the Garfield stripe - Just this black leather executioners mask.

Embarrassingly quick attempt.

Cats look evil by design anyway, so it works. I mean I'm a cat lover, and I own one, but let's face it, they always look like they're hatching some evil scheme. Plotting away, waiting for the one opportunity to take over the human race. If that doesn't work in favour for the Helghast army then what does?

Hey man they can add some other strip there, just not one that looks like a persian cat lol

Animals are great source of design inspiration. I personally think that the character in question was the most memorable thing of the whole video. That shop without the stripe looked dull.

No they don't. And they're not "designed".
 
Killzone may be the single game in which I might prefer 30fps. Or Input lag or whatever the fuck people claim it is. Just give me that feeling of heft.

THIS. I fucking loved that about Killzone 2. It felt like there was real weight to the controls, giving the shooting a really gritty feel.

I felt like I was alone in that.

Then the CoD faithful whined about how it didn't feel like CoD, and they nearly ruined those excellent controls in Killzone 3.
 
Killzone 2 was good in pretty much every way. It's the aiming that was crap, the rest to me was perfect. One of the best fps around for sure ! and those graphics and animations... wow !

It's a shame Prey 2 was canned. It's the kind of universe that I think would be brilliant.

well even that Human Head seems like they moved away, officially it's still not cancelled.

I think Zenimax will revive it someday, maybe throw to to Arkane US studio or something.

What I'd like to see is a proper antagonist with presence akin to that of Visari or Radec. The latter's design and voice played a huge role in creating that presence.


With amazing but expected increase in detail per character, GG can do a job worth remembering once again.
 
I'm pretty sure this is an in engine shot. The model and lighting looks much closer to the image they used as representative for their goal for the game in the lighting presentation. The target shot looked a lot better than the demo and that looks damn close to the target.

Looks almost the same and holy crap does the ps meeting version look bad in comparison. Let's hope GG matches the target theory shot. The increase is very noticeable.

Holy crap. That's the max LoD model. The lighting also adds to the mood. Lest we forget, that's a not even an important boss character.

Also, with tessellation becoming mainstay, I hope they exploit it in their next game.

God's had his chance.
So what are the chances (and if it's been said already please correct) that this new Helghast model they are pimpin is the counter-part to the shadow marshal we play as. Would be really dope if this menacing, dangerous as hell looking infiltrator was in fact the person you end up working with through out the game.

so excite. Can't wait to get brutal on some interlopers.

What's strange is look at cod:ghosts and how the developers say the graphics are a generational leap comparing the dogs and npcs, when this comparison (to me) is much better and the difference was just a couple of months. That's of course assuming the target model will look like that in realtime.

I really wish they would just let this franchise die...

I too wish all games I didnt like would also end, that way there would be only one opinion of what makes a good game, starting a revolution of only games I think are good, which would be a creative revolution...of one idea

Knowing GG, each reveal will trump its last. Over and over and over again. Strap your eyes into your Helghast masks Killzone fans. We are in for something special with this one.

Yep. IIRC Steven Ter Heide tweeted recently that the game was looking better and better with each new build.

My only concern so far is that during the demo they played I noticed a lack of vibrations and sense of speed while on the rope below the helghast shuttle. Would be cool to try to shoot helghan soldier on the shuttle while your hand is shaking on screen and your vision is alterated
