Killzone Prerendered E3 Trailer Talk

One of the Axis guys posted it in that LW thread you linked

 

Completly unrelated to the discussion (which is RE5 trailer), but seeing it's about marketing/press relation, it's my field, so I'll comment.

Since neither Axis, Sony nor Guerrilla disclosed those informations, it was probably an information they wanted to keep to them.
While it's not "illegal" per se for you to do so, it's not exactly good business for NewTek's employees to interfer with their customers's public relations and reveal things their paying customers don't want to be known.

 

Again, this info was already leaked to the public this summer after E3 '06.

I'm not sure what you're really trying to do, besides build up some evidence to make you sound credible in the distant future.

 

I meant E3 '05.

 

This is getting too off-topic, but I'll add one reply using my

In the case of J.Hardin, I don't think he disclosed anything about the renderer of the video, nor if it was meant to be incorporated in the final or not.
Now, it's true that this Proton guy says it's all LW, so I guess it's Okay with Newtek management.

I'm discussing this, because I know for a fact that SCEE, to this day, refuse to discuss the minutiae of this KZ demo.

We knew thanks to the "leaks" and because of the hypervoxels smoke that it was 100% rendered in a software solution, but I didn't expect people from NT to talk publicly about it.

 

And now we all know what you wanted to do
It ok. Fact is, you just don't know anything about the next-gen hardware. If you think, Killzone-graphics are not possible .... you're wrong. That's all.

GAF: " Random ****** says next gen expectations too high"
Exactly! ^^

 

Jeremy Hardin might like to read his contract a little closer. His rationale for giving public access to his portfolio was that it "appeared" now to be common knowledge that the KZ trailer was prerendered. I don't know if that would absolve a NDA..

As for the trailer itself, I think almost everyone here has pretty much known and accepted for some time now that the trailer was prerendered.

 

Of course they won't, they claimed it was real.

 

Cut him slack...his native language isn't English.

That being said...he probably still shouldn't be bringing this to light...there could be serious repercussions for him if business relations between NT and Sony go sour.

 

Supervision and direction came from Guerilla, but all assets were created by Axis.

Whatever.

 

Yep, and it took a quite complicated pipeline to handle the data transfer. You seem to be in the know indeed...

 

After the overwhelming response to the video, don't you think it was quite a bit unfair that neither the true creators, nor the companies supplying the tools were able to take the right credit for their hard work - just because Sony decided to capitalize on the false belief that it was a realtime PS3 demo?

 

How can you say that with a straight face, when people just continue to pop up and mention that it was realtime? A friend of mine working on that damned trailer has even been called a liar a few weeks ago here...

 

Personally anytime I see someone on a message board fancy themselves time and time again to be the righteous soul to single out a specific corporation's PR hype (be it Sony, MS, ATI, Nvidia etc) when they're all essentially playing the same game, well my trolldar tends to go off. Its usually an indication someone has an axe to grind. Sony in particular seems to draw a lot of those types.
