Thanks for the link.

Video is a little short (and loops by the look of it) but the quality is good and you get to see the environmental destruction which while probably limited to certain areas definitely shits all over Gears 2' s " you can blow concrete bits off the steel frame" bullshit.

The art direction in Killzone 2 is how i wanted Quake IV to be. It looks incredible.

Yeah, love the style.

Comparing its visuals with other PS3 games (or 360' s), it looks as though its running on a totally different Medium. Seems they have really tapped into the Cell Processor, I' m happy.

Good!
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

Dam this is a smooth looking game. Is it me or is the Ai dumb as hell. I pray they have the ai dumbed down on purpose.

On a side note I have never seen any game look this smooth. It looks very nice can' t wait to play it.

I' ve found with a lot of these press demo' s/gameplay vids that are prior to release and not a final build of the game, the AI is dumbed down so that it is more accessible. That way you can see more of the action/explosions without being killed so quickly.

Thanks for the vids!!

This game along with Little Big Planet, Final Fantasy, Heavy Rain really sold me on wanting to make sure that some time this year I get one. Just really fantastic, and it is starting to be a little more clear that this is going to be foremost a graphical showcase which really does make Killzone 2 one of the nicest looking console games if not the best.
Most wanted games:

Mass Effect
Assasins Creed
Crysis
Little Big Planet
Drakes Fortune
UTIII
Kane and Lynch
Heavy Rain
Alan Wake

The environment looks pretty bland and isn' t all that impressive. The guns, depth of field, motion blur, lighting, explosions, and the smoke... omg the smoke... all look fantastic!Hopefully it does turn out good. Still, even seeing this I' m not holding my breath. The gameplay released before the first Killzone came out looked incredible too and we know how that turned out. Still, this looks like the type of FPS I' ve always wanted to play. The art style is really impressive and I love the movement of everything. It feels like you are in a war.

So it is expected to ship in Feb 2009 for Europe.
Killzone 2 delayed for too long now.

It won' t matter if the game turns out to be pure sex.

They can take their sweet time with this one, a rushed timeline was what ruined the last one.

Technologically it annihilates every other console game and virtually every PC game... save for Crysis, which it beats hands down in terms of art direction.

Killzone 2 is probably my most anticipated console game right now. It has been since we first saw actual gameplay footage. Next week we see Gears 2 singleplayer footage, but something tells me it won' t be anywhere near as impressive as this.

BlimBlim just uploaded the original 720p (cam) footage and the game looks godly.

I was burnt by KZ1 so I remain quietly skeptical until I have the game. KZ1, while looking ace for a PS2 game, really did fail in virtually every other area. Though if you throw enough money at something it usually turns out good.

Like I stated before, Killzone 2 makes me want a PS3 bad. More so than MGS4. The only thing I am worried about is that Killzone 2 is just going to be a tech demo for the PS3.

An empty game that just shows off the technology. Have you guys seen the actual screen shots of the game ( direct from the game, not cam)? It looks a lot better in motion...

It' s weird that the newer screens look less impressive.

I dunno. I' m not concerned, seeing as it' s pre-alpha... but i do see some ulgy pixelation in the smoke and muzzle flashes.

It looks far better than Call of Duty 4 and Halo 3 at any rate so unless Gears 2 pulls off something super special it' s likely to remain the best looking console game we' ve seen so far.

It' s not Crysis... but then, nothing will touch Crysis for a while yet.

I think Jesus-boy wins this round. The pics he shown are both more recent and look more like the video on Gametrailers. They' re also far more plausable.

I' m going to agree this is best looking game I' ve seen running on a console. Still, I just watched that 720p direct feed on my 720p Samsung and I can' t say it' s leagues above the better looking titles out there, and as you said, it' s still no Crysis (but yes, the art direction owns most of Crysis, aside from the Crysis Nano Suit which own all). It seems like when they are actually playing it the visuals aren' t on par with the ' gameplay' trailers. I' m not going to call shenanigans on the trailers and say they are fake, I just find it odd. Either way the game looks amazing and they still have plenty of time to work on it.

Since I' ll be picking up a PS3 anyway for MGS4 and FFXIII I' m hope this game turns out incredible.

Btw, can I get my title changed to Jesus Boy? I laugh every time Agent says that.
