the new video is more impressive than the last imo.
KZ2 does look fantastic, it really does, but and I don't know if I'm correct here, but the game looks like it plays like the COD games. It seems from those gameplay video's you are asked to go from one section to another with set peices going off, explosions look great but don't seem to cause and damage to players. I just got a very prettty but linear and set peice COD vibe from the videos.
The screenshots don't impress so much. It's seeing the thing moving is what makes it so impressive. I guess what makes it subtly beautiful is that there isn't really anything in the gameplay that looks beautiful, and yet the overall quality of the picture, the lighting and post processing effects, and the camera work ooze quality and high production values, and just look awesome. I think that's the reason why IGN and Kotaku respond as they do.
In case anyone missed the trailer:

Rangers. The colour and lighting looks much more improved in this video - at least we get to see it this time. The animation and texture detail is really just so impressive. I mean seriously, for a technical forum - I'd expect everyone to be blown away by that for a game that's 8months away from completion.
Isn't this what techies want to see? A developer that has used graphics techniques to such a level that they've created something that looks outstanding?

Man I missed the net for half a day and looks like I missed a lot!!!!!! KILLZONE is BACK !!!
I have seen only one gameplay video as of yet and it looks better than the whole trailer of last year !!!!!!!!!!!!!

It does look good with outstanding art, weapon/animation (belongs at the top), and detailed bits along the way (destruction, environment) and tech. Though it is far from mind blowing (well maybe watching it in such small clips it may look like it). The lighting though reminds me quite a bit of the Cod4 ship mission, both looking very good. I based my impressions on both videos and screenshots btw. :smile:

Which is bad because?
Did any of those elements in any way hamper COD from going on to recieve massive critical acclaim & reaping huge sales..?
[non-directed rant]
I just don't get all the cynicism against this game that so blatantly looks the sh**..
Fair enough we don't know about the gameplay until we get it into our hands but all this "oh it just looks like a FPS" or "It doesn't look that great" bullsh** is just sad really..
[/non-directed rant]
And slightly reminiscent of the first KZ on PS2 too.
Yes really impressive!!!
Well its not bad in anyway bar that I hope it is more open than say say COD. I didn't think I indicated that it was a bad idea anyway. I was trying to get a grip on how the gameplay structure was being executed, we all know it looks fanatstic. Sorry if it came across as a negative.
It's the scale of it.
But on a purely graphically point of view I think an 8 would be pushing it.

Personally im not all that impressed. Doesn't look all that better than say CoD4. It may do stuff technically better but the differences on screen aren't all that (aspecially considering since CoD4 is 60fps).
Nice animations and all that, but that particular video didn't really wow me.
People do follow brands, that's true, but given two choices:
A) A console that is not reliable at all (at least it has fame from the RROD problem)
B) A console that comes from the same company that made the PS2 that most people find it to be reliable and were quite happy with it
Well, the choice is not hard to make. This matter is not just about brands. I'm just suprised how MS sales are so good. Maybe XBL is helping here.
I do think GTA IV graphics are quite good. I'll give them a 9. If it runned smoothly at 60 fps I would give them a 10.
Have you guys ever took a ride on the back seat of a cab? Most realistic thing I' ve seen on a console video game.
Have you guys ever entered the Bowling room or the Cabaret? Very detailed environments with no loading times. If that is not good, and don't know what is.
12 minutes Killzone gampleay http://www.jeux-france.com/news26836_images-et-video-killzone-2.html
Woah...barrell explosion inside - the smoke.dust blokes out the light, and as the dust clears the light seeps back through. Love the lighting.
Ground textures look good outside as well.
