Whats going on now?

This was posted on USA today.com ... this is not fan art people.

 

[USD]

The model looks great, but you really can't see shit. And why did USA Today get the first pic lol.

 

[Yoboman]

Well, don't start judging based on this pic. You know where Killzone has to prove itself is animation and dense, amazing looking conflicts

AND SMOKE TRAILS

 

[DontStopTheTatakai]

USAToday ftw

 

[Tideas]

This thread is gonna be legendary this tim tomororw.

Nice pic though. I can't wait to see it in motion

 

[Wollan]

Has to be the best ingame model I've seen in any console shooter. The detail is terrific.

QFT.

Jin Roh without a doubt.

You pay for the whole seat BUT YOU'LL ONLY NEED THE EDGE

 

[sprsk]

That pic looks really weird.

 

[bud]

so guys, do you think the textures on the walls look good?

that black thing is a shadow... not a texture.

 

[Thunderbear]

so guys, do you think the textures on the walls look good?

Yep. I think the texture is awesome even.

 

[Joates]

That pic looks really weird.

I think its the lighting...

"Yup, its real. A bit early, but its real. Not photoshopped, in-game etc. 100% real. Shame about the size. They could have linked to a better, less squished size.

More content will be released over the next couple of days. "

It's from a new build for sure.

 

[Sandman7]

Isnt WhiteMan a mod as well?
Cant wait for the unveiling.

 

[Yoboman]

As far as textures in a 490 x 270 pic goes, yeah they look good.

 

[Sin]

Don't start any speculation. This media is new and is most likely of their very current build.

Not trying to start speculation. Its just that the pic fits the description of the movie shown to distributors months ago, but maybe I interpreted motherh's comment the wrong way.

 

[Yoboman]

Somebody ask on the Killzone forums what he means by early

[rubso]

It looks good, despite the fuzzy/jaggie'd shadows and the low res textures.

 

[CrushDance]

Hey sp0rsk lock the other thread.

 

[rakka]

Revealed a little earlier than planned?

I see you're on a roll...Anything on the heart ?

 

[Zenith]

No.

 

[bud]

GREATEST POST EVER

the background is the only thing that bothers me really. the model, the gun and the lighting look pretty good to me. i guess i'll have to wait a couple of days to see how it is in motion.

 

[Aaron]

so guys, do you think the textures on the walls look good?

No, they are low rez crap, but I expect they're either placeholders, or all the effects are in place. Like the moments when Gears forgets to load the normal mapping, and it ends up looking like an early PS2 game.

 

[bud]

STAGGERING

 

[Splatt]

Oh shit! Look what one small screenshot did to this thread. I can not even imagine what will happen after the Killzone 2 media blowout :lol

 

[buckfutter]

What's weird is that the shadow looks like a mess high up, but from the waist down where it's being projected onto a darker surface it looks like a proper soft shadow.

 

[Stillmatic]

I just blurred the edges of the shadow.

The character model looks great!

 

[VonGak!]

Very true... we really don't see much here.

But it's a really good tease.

For animations well that's more a question about budget and qualified artists. I mean Uncharted already showed us that it's highly possible and hopefully we won't be platforming in KillZone leaving even more memory/space for fluid animations.

Volumetric explosions will be nice to see though instead of the static volumetric clouds but we already saw the gas tank demonstration back at E3 '05 so it's definitely possible.
The "only" question is graphical quality...

I really hope the textures are on par with those seen in Uncharted, then the game won't be too far off the original video, especially not if the lighting is of Halo/HS/Ucharted/teaser picture quality.

BTW, your avatar is even better now.

Pretty sure thats not the case

This is screenshot given to USAToday, after all...

 

[The Jason]

Somebody ask on the Killzone forums what he means by early

because he complained about the size and said more would be released in the next few days, I got the impression that the USA Today screen was going to be released in the next few days (so it got shown a little early)

 

[VonGak!]

No.

Well doesn't really mean much when you in the previous thread thought polygons and textures were the same thing.

 

[Karma Kramer]

BTW, your avatar is even better now.

Who mine?

If so... thanks

 

[rakka]

But its still too big

j/k

Still 20 hours to KZ2 conference, right?

 

[polyh3dron]

The texture on the wall to the left looks pretty bad, but that's probably because it's really close up.

 

[Busty]

Barring the slightly pixelated border of the shadow projected around the Helghast solider and the small detail in the foreground I really don't see what people are talking about when they say low res/bad textures.

I'm being as objective as is posible for someone that posts on GAF and I really don't see it, I think the peeling, rotting wall behind the illuminated solider looks great.

But in saying that. The thing that this game, above anything has to do to impress me is really show the sort of scope of battlefields and landscape shown in the trailer. And this shot obiviously hints at neither.

But it's a start.

 

[Mononofu]

I wonder how the helghast "harness the power of the weather against you"?

I've got nothin.

 

[starship]

I can't wait to see this shit. More than 2 years passed and we'll see the game very soon. This hype is killing me.

Btw, it appears I am being misquoted already, so I fixed the previous answer.

"EDIT: When I say "early" I mean, "released early in the day", and not "an early build". The screenshots were taken on the latest version of the game as it was on Saturday."

Most probably. The rest relatively distanced looks just as good as any other console game. Then you have the real time shadow behind the Helghast. That model looks insane.

Thought so, cheers

 

[Kinan]

It is almost the same build. The screenshots were taken on Saturday on the then- latest build.

Newest build confirmed.

P.S. Those wall textures give me kinda STALKER vibe. And its good.

 

[Wollan]

Regarding the weather, since this is on planet Helghan, I would guess the atmosphere must be damaging for us normal humans.

 

[Rezbit]

Needs moar:

 

[RubberJohnny]

You're not Ghale...

Wait, where am I?
