    Looks fun, not quite as good graphically as the original CG, but it may just be as cinematic.

    Looks absolutely great, though somehow I feel like I may prefer halo 3 visuals to this (brighter, more colors, less depressing lol).

    This looks like a better looking COD4 with a very interesting style. The blood is absolutely amazing.

    PS3 needs games that give this much wow biz bang. I'm going to buy PS3 for this game if reviews are good.

    My input

    Been waiting for a loooong time for this like most of us. It already looks absolutely fantastic and only going to get better and better, and Sony wasn't 'lying' when they showed the CG. They promised something and they seem to deliver on that promise.

    It's close, but even in terms of cinematics, it's a step down. I prefer to look at Killzone in how it compares to other games though, and in terms of what it brings. If it can look (and sound) like this while bringing good and refreshing gameplay elements (as it seems poised to do), then it deserves to be a success. I was disappointed with the trailer (though I have yet to look at a HD version in detail) and would have much preferred to see the full 15 minute presentation.

    Overall though it seems the Killzone team is achieving what they set out to do, and that is deliver something that is sufficiently close to the original trailer to be accepted by the mainstream press. ;)

    EDIT: patsu, yes, indeed. ;)

    A really nice grab from a HD version of the trailer (which I still don't have :( )

    [​IMG]

    They seem to have some really nice post-processing going on..it almost looks like a piece of artwork rather than a screenshot.

    And here's another grab someone took:

    But is the post-processing due to being a grab from an encoded movie, or from the game itself?

    (Serious question, I reckon there'll be experts enough here who can separate the two)

    EDIT: wow, awesome shadows!

    a boring, although beautiful, place...
    Impressive and even more immersive, with truly a lot of things going on on the screen. The game seems at least as tactical as the first incarnation, hopefully even more. I'm eagerly waiting for some HD footage too, the more of seamless gameplay the better.

    P.S. Nice to see ISA troops sporting some sort of headgear, finally: helmets, hats, bandanas, whatever :p

    Titanio dont you know the image size rules?

    The game is quite amazing. But it is as I said, there are buildings no more than 100 yards in front of you. Definitely uses the close quarters to max the detail.

    I think the most impressive part is that Gatling gun toting big baddy that comes close to you.

    May have to buy a PS3 for this...and hell by 2008, we'll probably see another price drop or two. So I dont have to be in a hurry.

    Some things are very, very wrong with that image... The best example being the green aiming reticle... ?

    *ok maybe not so harsh*

    but yes very dynamic trailer indeed :p Just after neogafs explosion I can't help but feel a tad underwhelmed.

    It's supposed to be green on the ISA standard weapon, atleast it was in the original Killzone. Red aiming reticle on the Helghast dito.

    A couple more from the opening cinematic (from Killthee on GAF):

    The post processing is actually harder to appreciate in lower than higher res..didn't really notice how nice it was until the bigger screencaps came along.
