Killzone 2 pre-release discussion thread

Thanks chris. Looks amazing and lots of new bits for people to see and admire.

I've also been a little naughty and posted this at GAF but only gave B3D (and not you) as the "source".

 

Ho, ho,ho, looks like I was right!
See the electric shock trooper and the "Rex" look-alike at the end of the new trailer?
Let people say "COD4 clone" now.

 

Heh, it has become a 12-page thread on its own:

Frankly speaking, the game has taken a much bolder direction than I had thought they would. From having played KZ on th eps2, I thought I knew the direction they would take, but this trailer is a complete surprise ! The game looks much more dense and serious and man the new look and robots thing ROCKS !
This is surpassing what I thought they were capable of !

 

Why not more disccussion about cell using in this game ? As far as i see this is the only tittle making cell the stuff it was marketed for.

 

Without technical papers or interviews, we have no idea how the hardware is being used. And that discussion should be held in the Tech forum, not the game forum.

 

I don't care much for first person shooter games but I must say that I'm really impressed. May pick it up on launch which is a first for games of this genre.

 

We have the paper on what they are doing from last year, whilst that may have changed its a good starting point and does contain information on what they are doing on the Cell.

 

I hope they will present their technology on the next GDC. The only thing I know is that pillar destruction is procedural. Only the big destruction are scripted. I think maybe they use some sort of post process for aliasing with the Quincux AA because Quaz who played the beta say that their is virtually no aliasing like if it is oversampled.

 

I've never seen the game look quite as crisp as it did in the new trailer.
I took some screengrabs that some others took, but there are a few in particular that really catch the eye. The middle shot is almost bullshot quality.

Amazing art and technologies.

This is one game that should implement the screen shot and youtube capture feature. ^_^

 

Um is the trailer realtime? If not they are all bullshots

The original information came from a "talk to developer" thread on playstation.com.

 

The trailer is realtime. For sure, Quaz51(the pixel counter guy) is french like me he had play the beta and he say that it is the first time he see someting like that with virtually no aliasing on a little french forum where we disscuss about the game, he don't tell more because he can't tell more and he said the multi is very cool.

They already said into the technical presentation that they use Quincux AA but they probably use some form of post processing with maybe the CELL processor.

And the vector motion blur probably help aswell.

 

You mean clean edges? Becosue overall scene it looks quite blurry, like Quincunx or wide-tent filter + 2xAA on PC.

 

Looks fine on my Mac.

The blur is just motion blur or/and DOF ? The viewing angle is rather cinematic/dramatic. The scenes are rather "organic" and very well integrated. I guess that's why some people didn't think it's rendered in real-time at first glance.

 

Sony has decided to take the trailer to TV: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/10/29/killzone-2-on-g4tv-tonight/

 

This trailer and the MP trailer are the best of the lot! All the other trailers were bland and lacked any soul.
All I can do is try to finish Resistance 2 before this one comes out !

 

the Helghan trailer is indeed very impressive. i wonder if there will ever be game trailers with 5.1 audio

 

Those screenshot doesn't cause me to do any rethinking like some people here make it out to be. The models look quite blurry and not all that great looking....hardly bullshots.
