It looks mind bogglingly good.

They had better fix the embarrasing input lag this time though... 150 ms in killzone 2 was a new low in gaming, in a league of it's own of badness.
30 fps for the next game means input lag 'll be shitty to begin with so they'd better work on their engine.
Maybe they should ask carmack for some help ... that man is a god at this kind of optimisation, guerilla have good artists but on the technical side the input lag suggests they have no frigging clue about how to design an engine fit for actual interactive gaming and not just cutscenes.

KZ3 had very low input lag. Not worried about that for SF. They just need to bring KZ2's recoil and momentum back.

I cant wait to see what will Naughy Dog and Santa Monica [Stig & GoW teams] create with this hardware.

One of them MUST appear at E3!

Incredibly Naive
People like this need to get it through their head. New hardware doesn't mean 60fps. You can do 60FPS on any fucking hardware.

Its ridiculous... you could do 1080p 60fps or even 120fps on ps3... just means the game will have to sacrifice a lot of it's processing power for the visuals. No matter what if a company wants to add more flash and fireworks than they'll choose to go at 30FPS. The only time 60 FPS will be a guarantee is when visuals are absolutely maxed out, or getting towards a ceiling.

Thanks!
 
I'm so glad this is a launch game. Killzone at launch is fucking awesome. It already looks stunning and it'll only get better too. I can't wait to see more.

Imagine Naughty Dog, Santa Monica and Guerrilla Games second game / new IP? Drooling already.
 
Is there a better playthrough of the second footage than the YouTube link? Shit is loading slow as balls and I know it's a problem with YouTube and isn't on my end.

Watched the 1080P gameplay vid and 1.1gig Trailer.

This is the first killzone title that got me interested. I love the art style, and the fact that its not dark like previous killzones.

Graphics look great. Obviously if you see the little details of the buildings they look bad, but the scale and the amount of things you can see on the screen was amazing. It certainly looks better with higher quality videos.

I just hope they put more AA. That was my only complaint.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
So, here's the more important thing to me: GG's other IP is rumored to be an WRPG. Can you imagine exploring a world like this? Pants = shat

Wow... I probably have a dozen posts in the forum over the years explaining why I'd love a WRPG from them.

Never thought it would actually happen. I hope it's something to go head to head with Bethesda. GG would smoke them.

The nextgen gif bombing has started, a much welcomed sight.

May the soldiers of helghan show the ISA scum what they deserve.

(or maybe it is the Vektan scum?)

This game looks so gorgeous. Hopefully the story will really show the ISA in their true light. Its been seen already that they are not really the good guys while the Helghast are not really being the bad guys. Hopefully they will flesh out the true gray nature of both factions.

Asked my brother what he thought about killzone, he said it wasn't impressive. I was like compared to what? He then said none of the games were real time. I was like, killzone was a live demo. He refused to believe me. Wat.

He's not the only person, I have shown this to people and they think it's fake.

I also think the people in the audience were unsure about it as there wasn't much of a reaction after it although that could also be due to the abrupt segue into the next game.

It's only when you come back to it (after you have recalibrated your expectations of next gen graphics) and realize it was probably the first working PS4 game being shown do you realize what a technical achievement it is. The effects showcased are absolutely staggering.

If this doesn't look nextgen then i want whatever you're smoking because clearly you live in another dimension than the rest of us.

This is the best looking game i've seen alongside Driveclub, Deep Down and Infamous 2 Second Son.

nah i wish they get away from the encounters that COD single player campaigns have made so popular but other than that yea art direction is fantastic. I also think the Helghast side of the city probably will be similar to kz2-3 in style.

but kotaku says it looks like a ps3 game...

This is all so reminiscent of the Gears of War reveal. Next gen is finally here my friends and it all starts with Killzone: Shadow fall.

I always wanted things like better hair and cloth/fabric mechanics out of next-gen.

I don't know if hair will get better, but the way the coat moves in Watch Dogs excites me. And I know that's weird. =\

That is not weird at all, physics when implemented well can improve my enjoyment of a game really well.
 
Man, I love me some Killzone (when done right...*cough KZ2*), but damn...

Seeing the beautiful Vektan city makes me yearn for an open world blade runner-esque title.

All that geometry is just waiting to be explored.
 
I have a question about realism:

Realistically, how do you ADS?

I mean, is it just me, or from the perspective of games, is the gun held straight center of your chest? Shouldn't it be positioned to the right or left?

I just downloaded 1.1GB just for a 53 second trailer, that's insane as the game is great looking. WOW!

Hmm what copy was that..the 1080p at 8 minutes was 371 mb from youtube..

Man it looks so damn good - the area of action is HUGE*, so much fire and bullets and it looked pretty stable :S... worryingly so!! I mean it was recording while playing too!
When you get close to some surfaces the texture/shaders and lighting impresses as well.

* You can see when he climbs up to the left after they invade and has a look across for a few seconds, it's massive! He then jumps down and melees the guy.

There are so many objects in that map too..crazy.

So many reflections next gen.

I wonder why no one has done a KZS comparison with the KZ2 target render from 2005. Should be interesting to see how it stacks up, I mean the animations still aren't close to that level yet.

dude that thing looks better than anything we have ever seen

also that demo was built with 4g ram in mind. SONY changed its plans to 8gig at the last moment

i think KZ killed the hype for all other games he heh

Okay, I just watched the gameplay video in 1080p on youtube, and I must say, it looks really good. It's in the same ball park as Crysis 3, it looks better in some areas and a bit worse not as mindblowing in others.

However, the last part of the demo was beyond stupid, it's really stretching my suspension of disbelief... Is the MC supposed to be a cyborg or what? The guy is able to casually hold on a rope using only one hand while moving at like 100 km/h, but I guess yeah, why not, let's say he's really strong. Whoever came up with the jump at the end should go back to high school physics though.

Needs a wind effect. 22% motion blur please.

I really wonder what happens if you don't place the charge down fast enough - you run out building to land onto...want to see so bad.

The sense of speed in the above gif is so great, except during the barrel roll when the frame rate slow down a little bit.

I love how all the stuff on the ground is actual geometry instead of flat textures. And there's A LOT of stuff on the ground, too, lol.
