Dude, Sho. There's almost nothing to play on PS3. Sony fans may not recognize this effect from the inside, but this is what they saw from the outside with nthings during the last three console releases.

Title: Re: FIRST KILLZONE 2 PIC
Post by: MrAngryFace on July 10, 2007, 10:47:29 AM
they ARE kinda blurry in that shot, specifically the wall. I mean if you use enough grays and browns its hard to tell...
Title: Re: FIRST KILLZONE 2 PIC
Post by: Fragamemnon on July 10, 2007, 10:49:30 AM
lol textures

That was my first reaction too. The wall textures look really low-res.

Then I saw the shadows and the textures started looking good in comparison.

Why on earth is there so much hype for this game? I mean, if the first one was awesome I could see it-but it wasn't awesome, it was decidedly average.

BTW Gasmask-wearing Wehrmacht stormtroopers aren't exactly an original design either. What a stupid GAF avatar meme.

PS3 is STARVING for games to play, and it doesnt even have a gimmick at its disposal like the wii does.

Tho I do lub me some MLB 07 The Show. I destroyed the Yankees last night with my pitchin skillz. Its funny tho if you grind enough games in the AA and AAA leagues you can power level a super pitcher that throws fast 102 mph fastballs and some very hard-to-hit high and inside sinkers.

I almost got the PS2 version of this yesterday. Supposedly it's the same game with crappier graphics, which I can live with. I do feel like a SPOT OF BASEBALL, though I probably should just reinstall MLB 05 on my PC and drop the 2007 mod into it instead.

Post by: MrAngryFace on July 10, 2007, 11:01:59 AM
I have all 3 versions, psp, ps2, and ps3 lol. PS2 version looks fine, if you havent seen the ps3 version (which is imo gorgeous fuk haters) then the ps3 version will still look great because the animation is extremely solid and the models look fine. I would recommend that if you get the ps2 version you immediately turn off the rumble function. It was quite a surprise winding up for a pitch the getting hit with RUMBLE!

I dunno what thats supposed to simulate but no thankz. Road to the Show mode is the best thing ever, its like an RPG for baseball fans.

This really looks subpar to Vegas in a lot of areas.  I mean, I guess it's a neat shot, but this doesn't live up to the hype.

The funny thing is, it looks kind of iffy and it's not even real. I agree that Rainbow Six is at least on par with what we're seeing here.

This looks good - but I must admit its not the mind blowing look the PS3 needs to seperate itself and justify its cost.

That looks terrible.  The only thing in that screen that isn't blurry is the enemy.  That shadow is like the pixely shadows you'd get in REmake.

Yes, it is gritty.  You know, like real-life.  You know how our shadows are like all blocky in real life?  It's like that.
Title: Re: FIRST KILLZONE 2 PIC

and our textures are all blurry, and our output is heavily aliased.
Title: Re: FIRST KILLZONE 2 PIC
Post by: brawndolicious on July 10, 2007, 03:07:55 PM
I'm going to c&p what I posted at another forum:

I think they're releasing this one screen that shows the game from the worst angle (one up-close character on screen, no environment, no physics, and of course no animation) to make people lower their expectations from that last E3 trailer. It'll probably look a lot better than this screen but GG probably thought this was the least flattering way to show their game right now and released it on purpose.

This screen (while technically unimpressive in every way) shows the game in the worst angle on purpose for a reason.  Probably fucked up parts like aliasing and shadowing will be much improved but it's obvious this is not anything like the E3 trailer.

The one about this same game where you could see more than half the screen.

Post by: Oblivion on July 10, 2007, 04:06:06 PM
That doesn't look impressive at ALL. The model is the only thing that looks good, and even then it's not anything beyond what's shown from a competent effort on 360.

Yup, its real. A bit early, but its real. Not photoshopped, in-game etc. 100% real. Shame about the size. They could have linked to a better, less squished size.

EDIT: When I say "early" I mean, "released early in the day", and not "an early build". The screenshots were taken on the latest version of the game as it was on Saturday.

That's kind of been the new MO for these companies. They release some shoddy looking stills, than as the game release approaches, they blow you away with much improved graphics. Giving you the illusion that the game looks amazing .. when in fact, its comparable to everything else out there .. it's just far superior to what your mind was expecting from the initial screens.



Title: Re: FIRST KILLZONE 2 PIC
Post by: bud on July 10, 2007, 05:02:37 PM
it's from a pre-alpha build or something but it's the same build they'll show at e3...lol

it'll probably look better when it releases but it does look underwhelming.

Post by: Oblivion on July 10, 2007, 05:02:47 PM
It's a shame Sony bothered to show that E3 2005 demo, since they felt that they were obliged to spend $50 million on trying to be able to match it. When a good chunk of that could have been used to make another game or at least keep MGS4 exclusive.

Its just so sad how Killzone 1 was mediocre at best, the first shots of killzone 2 were pre-renders, and now the first 'real time' shot looks like shit, but people still GO OMG KILLZONE, a license that has only proven itself on the PSP in a completely different genre.

Seriously. Why the fuck is everyone putting Killzone in their GAF avatars? Put a proven awesome game like Ratchet Future or some shit int here, even Uncharted or Heavenly Sword.

what the f*ck is going on with Wollan?
seriously

"ZOMG BEST IN GAME FPS CONSOLE MODELS EVER!"

... i think there should be a * to a note at the bottom that then says "IF YOU'VE NEVER PLAYED AN FPS IN THE LAST 3 YEARS AND WE ONLY CLASS THE OTHER FPSs AS KILLZONE 1 AND DOOM!"

Seriously - Sony better be paying him good for this, he's becoming more and more a pale Shane parody by the day. :(


Wollan has been off the deep end for a while now.

SC was pretty much the only real espionage game when it came out.  The story might not have been amazing (I am in NO way praising MGS) but it actually had espionage elements that were IMPORTANT unlike MGS.  Plus pretty much the best graphics of the time.

As a developer and well known programmer, I must say that I have found the Xbox 360 much better at delivering quality gaming then the PS3.

Yeah, Heavenly Sword and Killzone are from mediocre devs and aren't really terribly interesting from a gameplay standpoint. I will gladly feast on crow if Killzone looks like the prerendered footage, but I doubt it's even gonna come close. Uncharted and LittleBigPlanet are the 2 Sony first party games that look interesting and awesome. Ratchet could be good but I never got into that series.
