Wow, no surprise about this news. Try reading the Killzone forums some times.

all of this is straight from the devs

- KZ2's producer said the game had graphics of the same calibur as the trailer in late 05 or early 06 on their forum.
-half of the 120 or so devs were working on KZ2 since early 06
-they've had the game running on a 40" Sony HDTV since early 06
-the whole team is working on the game now
-they already have enough data and what not thats larger than a DVD9, lead tester said this in like mid 06
-only a hand full of ppl have seen the game, Phil is apparently one of them.
-AI team has doubled in members
-They held back on showing the game at E3 b/c it would take shine away from the launch games

So is this us seeing the true power of Cell integrated into Sony's product lines?

Or PS3 integrated into Fall07 Sony HDTVs confirmed?

I can't tell if that's a joke post or if thats really how u interpreted that.

:lol Is the general GAF poster really that dumb that you have to wonder this?

Nevermind...

Edit: But seriously, isnt that the way it reads? As though the game is actually running on the TV? Otherwise, what the hell is the point of mentioning it? They might as well have said they have it running on a 27in tube TV, does it really make a difference what TV its on?
Unless of course it is running on the TV itself, in which my last post was super serial.
 
I just watched the trailer again and that level of animation, interactivity and physics (the cloth on the Helghast coats is pretty sick as is the volumetric smoke) are well past anything else so far this gen, the textures, shaders and fire effects look acheivable afterseeing how good GeOW (i'm not saying it looks as good as KZ2 CG, just using an example of a second gen game) looks. I hope its close, but expect only that it won't match it, how close is the question? I mean if it can't be done with a team of this size and budget, is it even possible this gen?
 
LA Noire hype was big because of the budget and early shots. Isn't this and KZ2 comparable budget-wise?

Not anymore, Sony dropped it remember, its R* now and I doubt they can afford 50 million after Hot Coffee.
 
CVG says to expect a big Killzone unveiling at GDC, and a number of other announcements too:

Killzone 2 set to rock GDC
Wednesday 7-Feb-2007 10:08 AM Sony will unveil the flagship PS3 shooter next month, plus masses of other new games CVG has learned

The highly-anticipated PlayStation 3 sequel to Guerilla Game's Killzone is to be officially unveiled at next month's GDC, CVG has learned.

Well placed US sources have revealed to us that the flagship Sony shooter will be shown in full glory at the San Francisco event, perhaps even in the form of a playable demo.

IIRC they seperately reported the 1up rumour, so maybe they tried to follow up with their own sources. Although I know some question their credibility..
 
So............ this thread blew up because a demo releasing before H3 is MAJOR Rumormongering ?

Lord help us all..:lol

that animation won't be in game. no two animations are the same and it looks like everything has been hand animated.

could i believe that we'll see that quality of graphics in game as far as models/geometry/particle effects/scale? yeah. but it won't animate like during gameplay.

physics? comparing the cloth physics in gears of war... quite possible but who knows.
 
I wonder why C&V doesn't want to admit that they haven't any souces at all and they have just copied the rumor by Luke from here :lol :lol

HOLY SHIT. it's happening.



This is more than your usual demo. This is Sony taking off their gloves in regards to the Halo 3 hype.
Click to expand...


Unless it is significantly better than the first Killzone, it's more like Sony taking off their trousers.
 
Oh well I guess it will be easy to beat last years GDC with the HS tech demo, MS tech demo, Lair tech demo.


Time to begin the hype! :p

At least we know for sure there's Ratchet & Clank and new Heavenly Sword coverage coming in March. Wise to look forward to that, and treat the rest with caution.

New HS coverage in March? I missed that news :D
Now only Lair and Warhawk are missing :)

Haha. Well, we all remember how well the "BIG ANNOUNCEMENT COMING AT GDC" thing turned out last time

:lol There's been a half dozen events in the last year that fanboys and media were hyping up, only to do nothing but leave egg on their collective mugs.

There's been far too much talk regarding PS3, and till now little of it has been backed up. Right now words don't mean shit to me. So these days, I'm living in Missouri...you gotta show me. I just hope it's a playable demo instead of a looped feed running off a BR disc.

you're right. Ive never been a big fan of R & C, truth be told Ive never given the series a proper shot, but if the new game looks like that trailer and offers the freedom with it, Im very very interested. Heavenly Sword has been a lock since the first sight

peace
 
Just a heads up, i heard on todays Next-gen podcast that Phil Harrison would be speaking tomorrow at the Dice summit.

N'Gai Croal will be asking him 20 questions polled from readers, developers, and publishers.

explain your reasoning and what you expect the end product to look like. Also what do I do with this thing I just wasted 600 euro on?

Wow. I'm nervous for the Guerilla guys already. Imagine if their game looks like total shit compared to the CG trailer? It's gonna take A LOT for this game to rock people. I sincerely hope they pull it off. It would be nice if Killzone 2 turned out to be Sony's GEARS.

Personally I think we're a few generations off from the KZ trailer and Gears of War will be in the top 5 best-looking games of this generation come 2010.
Click to expand...


HA! Yeah right. Gears uses unreal Engine 3.0. No way will it be the top 5 best looking games the gen. NO WAI!!!

Epic themselves will surpass Gears easily.
 
All I know is that the gaming websites better bring out the cameras this time to GDC. Last years footage was pretty bad, hopefully we can get some high quality stuff instead of 20 second youtube clips.

Hopefully we PS3 owners will be downloading/playing it whilst everyone else watches! Do it Xbox Live E3 style, Sony. Do it!

Man, how sick would it be if the Killzone unveiling started with the 2005 video, and then on the bridge after the "player" shoots down that jet thing (where the trailer ends), Phil brings up a controller, and just starts playing for a few minutes.

SE's White Engine is supposed to have near pre-rendered cgi-quality in game, and cinematic cut-scene transition. I don't see why this wouldn't be possible. I don't see why that wouldn't be included in the opening of the demo either. It'd be awesome as the others said.

The thing about the white engine is that in an RPG situation there are not as many variables and angles to deal with, and most of all no multiplayer performance issues to balance out making it a bit easier to fathom.
