High Quality Killzone 2 Screenshots

You may or may not have seen these images, but if you have they were probably either bad scans or blurry/blocky pics. DGB got a hold of high quality versions you won't want to miss.

When he reloads his weapon thats the most realistic lighting I have ever scene.

sunnygrg6445d ago

damn, those are some highly detailed guns.

Bolts6445d ago

KZ2 rendering seems to be very similar to MGS4. In MGS4 the highest resolution object would be Snake, in KZ 2 its obviously your gun. Its a great visual trick and a smart way to make the most outta 512 RAM of memory. Since you spend a huge amount of time shooting things through your gun the game looks great and you don't notice the average textures resolution of the other objects.

Kleptic6445d ago

fair enough^^^...but it almost sounds like you are saying the only reason KZ2 looks good is because the gun has very high res textures...or that MGS4 looks good because snake has so much detail...

KZ2 has unmatched particle effects so far...unmatched lighting (by far)...and a physics based hit response system that makes every other shooter so far seem ridiculously cheesy...I think those 'tricks' are working pretty well too...let alone the insanely awesome looking gun detail...

the animation, lighting, and particle effects look to rival PC shooters...it may only be 720p, but it looks to be raising the bar in some areas for the entire genre, not just consoles...

Panthers6445d ago

Amazing. Just hope it is a lot harder in the final version. Of course games are completely different on hard.

thesummerofgeorge6445d ago

That video was awesome, game looks stunning. I hope the AI is improved though, looked a little easy. maybe it's just me.

INehalemEXI6445d ago

<-Is Impressed, As always with KZ2

thor6445d ago

Of course it would look easy, they usually put it on easiest setting if they are demoing a game.

pwnsause6445d ago

best part of that video look at the top of it, it say "Pre-Alpha Code" so when the the game goes gold, dont be surprised if the game has surpassed the trailer or was able to capture at least 99% of it.

badz1496445d ago

spot on over there buddy! it's already looking AMAZING and it's just pre-Alpha code?? wow, just WOW!!

thesummerofgeorge6445d ago (Edited 6445d ago )

Really? it didn't seem like a demo to me, it seemed like people were just playing it... Either way, I'm sure it'll be a non-issue by release date with a game of this caliber.

whoknew6445d ago

Give the game to an independent source, not paid by sony to love the game no matter what. Then we can really see what it's all about. Until then I reserve any judgement on the game. After the massive let down of MGS, I no longer trust sony & their army of paid reviewers.

xionpunk6445d ago

@ whoknew
You were disappointed by MGS? You can't be reasoned with.

Lyan6445d ago

Can I get in on some of this shmoozing? Wheres my love for loving sony!?

I'd love to see something more than industrial warehouses for once. where the hell is the diversity in this game? Everything I've seen is in a warehouse or around one.

A forest, a running stream of water, a city street, man anything would do me right about now. It seems this game all takes place in one location and that's it.

I hope it gets better.

Blademask6445d ago

You have seen one part of a level.. since 2005.

Silogon6445d ago (Edited 6445d ago )

Ok, so you all don't want a different level? You don't want diversity? You'd like it to take place in the same drab location all throughout the game? You idiots don't even know what you're disagreeing with anymore.

crimsonfox6445d ago

dude you try to support sony and all games till you got bubbles back and now you have bubbles and talk out of your butt hole

your annoying

Silogon6445d ago (Edited 6445d ago )

I could give a piss less about these bubbles, ya dorks. I find it hilarious that you morons like to disagree with logic. nothing on n4g makes sense, though.

If it did you all would stop blindly supporting consoles.

Edit to below:

Well that is reassuring to say the least. thank you for that info cause I don't have a sub to EGM. I'm sure the game is going to be a visual master piece cause it looks great in motion, but the same setting we've seen so far is taxing to say the least.

sunnygrg6445d ago

If you have read the latest edition of EGM (and this is for everyone else too), it states that not all levels of the game will look so .. bleak. Some levels will feature the natural beauty of Helghan.

Ali_The_Brit6445d ago

my guess is they dont WANT to show anything else at this point, maybe closer to the time they will but for now i see no reason why they should so early on, oh and is it true you own a PS3?

crimsonfox6445d ago

shut your mouth we know you just talk crap ever since people dont have to click on your name to see what blasphemies you speak you have gone to limits of a sickass fan boy but only until you lose all you bubbles again you wont have anything worth saying welcome...to my ignore list

256445d ago (Edited 6445d ago )

i thought you were done with sony? so what are you doing on this thread?
microsoft isn't offering anything interesting?

NegativeCreep4276445d ago (Edited 6445d ago )

If diversity really was you're persuasion, you wouldn't even approve of what the Halo franchise offers, but then again the PS3 double-standards continue on...

juuken6445d ago

...Do you have some kind of a disorder or something?

Blademask6445d ago

The developers have already said there are more levels to the game with different designs.

I dont assume that the same level i've seen since 2005.. is the entire game. Thats your job.

im a ps3 owner and i must say the game look sok but the enviroments looks bland the texture are so low similar to when i play mgs4 the envioropments lack good quality textures http://uk.ps3.ign.com/dor/o...

fury6445d ago

lol...tell us another...

MasterChief28296445d ago

Who disagreed with me, it really wasn't getting approved before, lol

omni_atlas6445d ago

do you think they could add a little more color to the game? I don't know why, impressive as it is, I'm more looking forward to resistance 2 then KZ2.

El_Colombiano6445d ago

So you'd want them to ruin the atmosphere of the game? Serious question.

Omegasyde6445d ago

How can they ruin the atmosphere of a game?

Guerilla created the whole killzone universe, who is to say if Helghast has frequent snowstorms, or beaches?

The reviewers aren't going to care for the "intended atmosphere" and they will give this game no leeway since the production of the game has game almost into 5 years.

I am hoping alot gets revealed at E3, including the aliens.

crimsonfox6445d ago

if your on a "terrible" planet why would you wanna see a beach???

this is the style of the game if you don't like it don't buy it its easy um k??? really this is only one level dont get out of hand with this

El_Colombiano6445d ago

Well if I'm going into a ruined war torn planet where the atmosphere (literally) has changed the population into another type of breed of humans, I wouldn't expect it too be a colorful place if you know what I mean. But then again, the Devs could throw in another park level type of level and throw us off. I loved the pink of the trees in the first Killzone.

Omegasyde6445d ago (Edited 6445d ago )

You miss the point, When your playing a different levels with little variation as far as color schemes and environments, people tend not to finish it.

EX: GTA4, Doom 3.

Granted Sony only care that they got my 60$, there would be a bad stigma laying on the game as being once again overhyped.

I am only judging the art direction on what has been made public. The game has been developed for quite some time and all the new footage
looks the same. Where there is smoke there is fire, hence why some people are put off by same footage over and over and over with just one new person playing it. For a game that long in development, they should give the fans a few more "bones" Why shroud the game this much in secrecy?

I am sure E3 will shut people like me up hopefully :)

EDIT: @ El Columb
Yea that park in my opinion was the most colorful level with the cherry blossoms. If you remember the first game, the whole game was also grayish with a lot of levels looking the same.
HENCE PEOPLE FORGET THAT FACT.

El_Colombiano6445d ago

Well just look at Final Fantasy 13, nothing (basically) has been shown yet it's hyped like a mother*ucker! Anyway bubbles for both of you for being in this discussion. I'm out, I have stuff to do tomorrow...early tomorrow.

INehalemEXI6445d ago (Edited 6445d ago )

Im sure there are areas with more depth of color. Yet I know that they used minature cinderblock models in real life then captured these to make level design a bit easier and quicker. The Overall grey tones may be a side effect of this technique on pre alpha footage.

Then again I had been worried before MGS4 came out because there always seemed to be a lack of range in the color of screens and trailers pre launch but the final product was killer. So Im not tripping.

RememberThe3576444d ago

@Crimson- I completely agree. Your not suppose to go: "Hey isn't that just pretty?" When you play this game. Your suppose to go, "Holy sh*t!"

@Omega- I see where your coming from with the repetitiveness of color schemes, but how else are these guy suppose to show how terrible it is on Helgon(Did I spell that wrong?)? Color is really all they got, cause what you see is what you get. I'm thinking that there will be more to this than just gray, but if not, I got a story to follow to keep me engaged.

Why Guerrilla Games Shouldn't Abandon the Killzone Series

Hugely disappointingly, it seems that Guerrilla Games, developers of the Killzone and Horizon series, may be done with Killzone for good.

IAMRealHooman495d ago

1 was fine, overhyped as a " halo" killer
2 was a graphical beast at the time, and felt heavy
3 was good a refinement of 2 but not much else. weird audio issues environment were to quiet
shadow fall was pretty but bland

OtterX495d ago (Edited 495d ago )

Shadowfall had great Multiplayer though. Too bad the campaign was meh at best. It did have the occasional great moment sprinkled in.

TheNamelessOne495d ago (Edited 495d ago )

I played through 2/3 multiple times. I played through the original once, but it felt pretty lukewarm for me. I couldn't be bothered to beat Shadow Fall. I got a couple hours in and just went "I'm done". Never touched it again. It was awesome on the tech side, being a launch title, but it didn't even match up to the first game when it came to actually having fun playing it.

Rude-ro495d ago

3 in 3d was an amazing experience to be had.
Although not many experienced it as intended for good reasons.

just_looken494d ago

You forgot the ai advancements on the playstation 2 killzone one you could have a full team of bots doing everything even playing the objective that was a big thing.

In killzone 2 they always flanked you and when available used the high ground.

Playing killzone 2 no hud 5.1 audio was/is awesome

MDTunkown495d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72495d ago

I dont mind if someone else takes up the mantle for the KZ franchise. We are several years removed from the first game. It certainly could use a remake to gauge interest in the rest of the series. I know it has its fans... Im thinking of how a proper reboot can rekindle that old dormant flame and bring in a new generation of fans in the process.

just_looken494d ago

You forgot killzone mercenaries on the ps vita but it was the worst selling sony game for awhile there.

Yui_Suzumiya494d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast495d ago

They should let it go or sell it. No use spending millions on this project.

LucasRuinedChildhood495d ago

Would like a new IP before Horizon 3. Just because games take so long to make these days.

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

OtterX724d ago (Edited 724d ago )

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro724d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv72724d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_724d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga724d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos723d ago (Edited 723d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt23723d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball2000724d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin724d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole724d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix724d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989724d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor724d ago (Edited 724d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor1028d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1028d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg1027d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz1491027d ago

I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.

man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!

Vengeance11381028d ago

32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III

Shane Kim1028d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC1028d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

Vengeance11381028d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle1028d ago

lol you are comparing:

HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)

HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)

We will see if it surpass original number.

Phoenix761028d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.

Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.

I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.

blacktiger1027d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1028d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy1028d ago (Edited 1028d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1028d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright1028d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.
