He has a point though, CGI and 'target renders' really should have no place in today's next-generation console industry.

Whoa whoa whoa. Bit of friendly fire there. :lol I'm one of the biggest Killzone 2 followers around. I have the uncut, high definition trailer on my PS3, and I'm not interested in GoW2 or Halo 3. I'm a bit irritated that you seem to think there's some console/fanboy war going on behind the scenes just because we disagree on something trivial such as trailer CGI or realtime.
The hostility between percieved different console owners on this board is a bit unsettling at times. Just chill Wollan.

The motorstorm trailer was a teaser. Basically just to say, 'we're working on MS2'. Nothing more.
You should've seen the guy in my local gamestore, he actually gave me the 360-version of Army of Two while I asked for the PS3-version. Trying to convince me that the 360-version was better because of "better controller and achievements". Seriously, this rivalry thing is getting out of hand.Safe Bet said:

I bet they are planning to expand the Home beta and testing out the Killzone lobby.

I'd be ok with being a guinea pig
I signed up and linked my PSN account just in case.

Interesting... it uses the same linking method as the EU forum, I wonder if this is some kind of code that all developers can use.

Most likely.
Hopefully Resistance 2 uses this method of logging in when the community site for R2 is up ;o

I think there is still is a need for high quality CGI itself, but using it as 'target renders' yeah, it's pretty much not needed anymore. Remember all that bullshit 'target render' crap devs kept pulling in the beginning of this generation, and it certainly didn't help with Sony Bullshit 2005 (E3 2005).
Luckily Sony has been pretty good with showing off Killzone 2.

The CGI was shown in 2005. The ingame footage was shown a long time afterwards. You seem to be a little confused. Guerilla has shown us the game plenty of times and even let people play on it at Leipzig. They haven't done CGI renders or anything ever since the announcement at E3 2005. You can even download some gameplay footage off the PSN.
I think Sony has learnt a few lessons, as well as Microsoft. I remember Peter Moore expressing regret that he went the route of in-progress actual gameplay footage instead of target renders that year, which made Microsoft seem poor compared to Sony who was doing target renders everywhere and passing it off as realtime. Microsoft are now a bit weary of showing games in progress, which helped to foster the CGI culture in development which is a bit of a shame in my opinion. Sony on the other hand, took quite a beating in the media for a long time, and despite the recent Motorstorm 2 trailer, held back on its CGI habits. They knew the PS3 could do a lot more at the time, but didn't have the games or confidence to show it back then. They do now, as you can see with Killzone 2, Gran Turismo 5, Uncharted, and so on. I don't think we'll ever see anything like E3 2005 again.

I can't link shit. It doesn't work.
SCEE better choose me for any future beta test.

I just noticed, I signed up on the Killzone site, and on my profile page, there's parts for 'favourite weapon' 'favourite map' and so on. It seems linked to the actual Killzone 2 game, much like how Bungie.net and Halo 3 works. Killzone's site is more fluid and not such a bitch to load though. Interestingly, there is also an 'unlockables' section at the bottom of the profile page.

I registered to killzone.com but haven't got their e-mail confirmation yet... it shouldn't take this long. Btw, killzone.com is a really heavy site... tons of flash and videos on the front page. It actually crashed my firefox twice in a row...need to get a new PC. It does look pretty slick
edit, as soon as i posted that i got the email... wow i like the integration, friends lists, messages, probably stat tracking, the multi-player is shaping up to be huge.

By the way, if you want a better chance at getting in the beta, I remember reading in the official forum in the Ask Dev thread that people who contribute regularly to the forum will be looked at first. Not guaranteed if you post there but you have a better chance. I've been lurking for years but never really posted anything...hopefully it's not too late to start.

Given the importance of the title and the budget involved, I'd say they want to have a site with lots of functionality, something like I imagine bungie.net is (since i haven't played halo online, but heard good things about the site). Sony is going to pull out all the stops with this one.

What's up with some of the text on that site anyway, looks all pixelated ...
