the game still has about 7 months to go... it looks pretty close now, it will meet or surpass the e3 05 video.

good job GG:
everything from the blood to the facial animations look great

i've lost all interest in killzone 2 after seeing MGS4..... now i know why sony didnt want the gameplay shown at E307.... lol... wow, still though, cant wait for killzone, but im getting MGS4 before killzone 2 now.......

Who would have thought that? Us lucky PS3 owners spoilt for choice on great exclusive games??? What... lol

MGS4 is like PS3s MGS2 to me, it has the momentum to be so incredibly awesome but I hope they don't dissapoint with continual delays and what not.

Killzone fortunatly is coming out a lot later than Halo 3 so it won't be so staggered against it as it was back when Halo 2 came out.

good article, good read. I agree with everything they say but their is alot of time for them to fix any potential problems their having or IGN pointed out.

I need to buy a ps3 lol

i'm gonna sound like an old fogie here, but i think a lot of the people that are b*tching about Killzone 2's visuals, are a little spoiled.

i mean, when i was 6 years old, back in 1985, playing Super Mario Bros. on my cousin's NES, or Pole Position on the Atari 2600, i didn't dream, in a million years, that games would be looking like *THIS. it was stuff out of my fantasies.

sure, Killzone doesn't look like the infamous 2005 trailer, but the fact that it looks like it *DOES, is enough for me. even if the game didn't undergo anymore visual tweaking, and instead they worked on things like framerate and AI, etc, i'd still be satisfied.

because everytime i look at Killzone 2, or MGS4, my mind drifts back to the little bloops and blips that were trying to pass themselves off as characters in games from the 80's, and i'm blown away all over again.

for me, Killzone 2 doesn't *HAVE to match the 2005 trailer. i'm just pleased that gaming has gotten to that point where we're comparing them to film, and CGI, and high art.

i never would have thunk it.

great job Guerilla Games, and in fact, any company that is pushing the envelope the way these guys are doing, from Epic, to Bungie, to Insomniac, to Kojima Productions, to Media Molecule, to Naughty Dog, to Ubisoft Montreal, to Ninja Theory, to Bioware, to Factor 5, to Level 5, and to Silicon Knights and so many more.

you guys are the reasons why, after 28 years on the planet, i'm still gaming strong, with no sign of letting up anytime soon.

Well, it speaks volumes that they are comparing a CGI high price project vs a 50 million dollar video game production. I think it did good, guess we all find out in 2008 how the game compares. Hopefully, gameplay and multiplayer live up to the hype.

the account mangm't =====> edit profile =======> change avatar menu?

Let me know. I'm getting a server error (repeatedly).

guerilla claimed before the naysayers locked in on the TARGET VIDEO,that"this is what we want to achieve for next gen."not just pretty graphics.

and ALL the mags,and ALL the websites,and ALL the fanboys,and ALL the sony bashers,and ALL the killzone one bashers went overboard without giving guerilla a shot to prove themselves.i watched that video dozens upon dozens of times analizing if the video could be achieved.AFTER YEARS OF PLAYING,I KNEW THEY COULD DO IT.

even motorstorm, which to this day, i think could still look like the video.but i'm not sure if they could attain the speed.but figboy is right,gaming has always jumped exponentially.CG of ps1 and saturn became reality on ps2,xbox and cube.but CG got better.but i felt next gen could pull off last gen CG video.it just takes time and resources.

think for a second,would call of duty 4 look like it does now if sony and guerilla didn't aim high?look at the old call of duty during 2005 then look at what is showing now.
http://www.gametrailers.com...

looks like an old pc game.and this:
http://www.gametrailers.com...

this looks like next gen.and i think call of duty after 2 years,owes alot to E32005 and sony's press conference.because they went from world war to modern warfare.why the change at activision?

it is sony's vision,guerilla's vision,on why combat games look the way they do now.i'm glad they showed the target trailer in 2005.it means game animation,game content,game A.I. and game graphics will get better for all games.devs are now aiming high.and that benefits us ALL.

This guy is my hero..... this is how bad the service is in the uk, that would be xbox 360 service.

pressing a button over and over seeing that same button pressing cutscene standing all by your lonesome emptying bullets on a big a$$ lightning rod doesn't look too interesting. They should have something preventing you from destroying that thing. Hopefully that is just a break from the unrelenting action that I hope is before that part.

you're talking about a *2 MINUTE segment in a game that will probably be about *TEN HOURS long. i'm pretty sure the game won't consist of 10 hours of shooting lightning rods.

check out the 4 minute extended trailer, then read N'Gai Croals *TWO articles about the game.

he was a harsh critic of the PS3, but after having *HANDS ON time with Killzone 2, he's changed his tune quite a bit, and thinks the gameplay is exactly what it's supposed to be (intense, chaotic, beautiful, and most importantly, fun).

the game has a long way to go, and it's already showing it's promise this early on.

don't focus on one tiny aspect that the media chose to show us (i mean, seriously, out of a 15 minute presentation, the gaming press chose the part with the lightning rod to share with us? ridiculous).

like any good FPS, the tower portion i'm certain follows a section of high intensity, so they slow the pacing down, then i'm sure they'll ratchet it up again soon after.

And i agree with most of what`s being said.

I think what should be the most interesting about Killzone now that they`ve shown how close to the CGI as they got, is showing me more of what makes the game unique from a gameplay perspective. As with MGS4, i`m really excited to see what you could do in the game.

Figboy, i agree, i would rather have the game run smooth because the graphics are already great. I`m sure they`ll still get better though as it`s out in 2008, but i hope they concentrate on getting it to run at a consistent fps which is especially important in multiplayer (i hope that`s more fun in Killzone 2, because it wasn`t very good in the original.

Will a game studio have to have a major budget like the one Guerilla is spending to make a game look like Killzone? Because to me, not everybody or even most studios will spend that type of money on developing one title. And with the graphics looking so good, I wonder if it is more reasonable to expect a more linear game than not? I'm not bashing but let's take Oblivion, when a games universe is soo big, the graphics tend to lack, even if just a bit, however when a game is graphic heavy, it tends to be short like Gears of War and sometimes very linear. Besides on a PC, is it possible to have the huge universe in a game, graphics like Killzone throughout that is non linear?? I hope so.

#12 was one of the best posts I've seen in a while. And there's nothing wrong with being an "old fogie." If you don't know your past, then you can't control the future and that control ultimately comes with our wallets. We will be buying games that continue to wow and surprise us. Despite pretty graphics we all know when a game really puts "it all together." Being a veteran of all the older games and consoles makes us appreciate these new offerings even more which contributes to a bigger and growing gamer market, more money and confidence for devs and the assurance that our hobby/lifestyle is here to stay; therefore controlling our futures to a certain degree.

are people still talking about this?

SONY delivered big time..yes the trailer its 100% the same..but in some area it passes the CG trailer back in 2005.

for KZ2 to even come close to a CG movie is amazing - and rememeber its still being worked on and things will only get better.

KZ2 fan or not were amazed and the final product will push PS3 like no 2morrow...we have to remember that with all this MS vs PS3 going on - alot of ppl tend to forget that PS3 hasnt even been out for a full year yet...and whats scary is that the games that are coming out this year are looking sharpe and nothing but amazing...

i cant even picture how the game will look like for christmas 2008

i cant wait for the final product of KZ2 vs CG trailer - that will be intresting to see

I am glad they pulled it off... after that Sony PR guy lied by saying that it was actual gameplay and and hard for them to meet expectations... the fact is that maybe for this reason this may be of the best looking game which will finally beat Gears in terms of graphics. Sony should really thank these developers since it would have being a disaster if things would be any different. Obviously the CGI looks better and it has more things/effects going on than the actually game... but no one was expecting them to get that far... if anything they really went further than most people were expecting..

Sony really does need another mainline shooter franchise. They pretty much gave up after the PS3 generation, and I'm really surprised they haven't tried at another high-profile, singleplayer-centric shooter; even if it weren't Killzone or Resistance.

I miss Killzone while I can see why they still do Horizon has some really good things but I do think that Horizon is overrated imo.

Or how about studios focus on projects that they feel passionate about, and not be forced to make something they have little interest in. It shows in the final product.

It’s still got potential for the modern era. The DNA is all there. The install base is there. The interest is there. The time is now.

Killzone 2 and 3 were farkin brilliant and way better than halo

Too bad they've abandoned em smh, then theres sony barely even acknowledging what us fans want. Every time they sale a certain high amount it get like that with them smh

Because Killzone games are awesome, that's the reason.

New ip after 3'rd horizon please 🙏

Give it to Bungie. The Helghast are awesome enemies and Bungie could make something really cool

not enough interest to keep it alive

I’m beating a dead horse here… but Resisitance FOM gun lay out was so fun, multiplayer was one of my top favorite experiences. Insomniac nailed it and I would love a remaster and maybe a redo with Reisistance 2. They listens to players who were wanting a Halo killer and it kind of lost its character from the first.

Warhawk, if they had just remade the first one not Starhawk which offered nice things like the build and battle.. but Warhawk was the best arcade shooter I ever played. Back when you didn’t have battle passes and you actually had to get certain amount of kills or ribbons to unlock different paint skins on the Warhawks and armor for your player.. Look at the success of Helldivers 2, it’s a fun game and it reminds me of Warhawk in a way. I’ve been wanting a remake or sequel since the beginning of the ps4 gen.. it’s hurts to have hope nowadays. Even with the demise of the studios Sony has a steady fan base.

Killzone game after Killzone 2 play style would be nice

Motorstorm would be epic with the visual upgrade, maybe this game would be a harder sell with the genre being not as popular nowadays..

Resistance franchise, Motorstorm and Dirt 2 which was fun as heck. Add Dead Space 2 as well.

I quickly looked and only saw the words PS5 Remaster and a picture of Fall of Mans logo

Ahhhh shit, well maybe one day

Resistance 1-3 remastered with online

Kill zone 1-3 remastered with online

God of war PS3 games and PSP games collection

Infamous 1-2 with all dlc please we need this. It’s such an underrated franchise and so much potential. In this age of super hero media craze Sony should utilize infamous

White knight chronicles 1-2

Warhawk and starhawk

Motorstorm series

MGS4

Easy money would be to remake Resistance and Killzone series, rather than just a remaster. And PS5 desperately needs some couch co-op shooters so this would scratch that itch.

Infamous 1+2 and KZ 2+3

Deus Ex Human Revolution

GTA IV needs one.
Still stuck on PS3 and 360.

PS3 ended up been a beast of a console, slow out of the gate, picked up steam, smashed through the finish line. The 1st PS3 slim is still one of my favourite consoles. So solid, great games, by the time GTA5 and the last of us had come out it was a clear winner for me

Nice to see that they included Pupetteer in this list.

"PS3 may not have been the strongest generation"

Meanwhile...just looking at exclusives alone and not even third party titles

Uncharted was born
Demon's Souls was born
Metal Gear Solid 4
God of War 3
The Last of Us was born
Little Big Planet was born
Warhawk
Killzone 2 and 3
Infamous was born
Resistance was born
Motorstorm was born
Gran Turismo
Heavy Rain
Journey
Shadow of the Colossus returned paving the way for the remake in the PS4 generation
PS Plus was born

Sorry bud, but the PS3 generation was amazing and featured the greatest console comeback in history.

That said, I'd love it if Warhawk returned or Metal Gear Solid 4. It needs to not be shackled to the PS3 generation anymore. A Killzone 2 remake would be insane with modern graphics and that art direction.

I really miss this gen of gaming. It felt like the last truly "great" era for videogames before the modern approach really took hold.

The PS3 was such a glorious console. The UI, the games, the free online...just incredible.

Add Mag to that list.

I would pay good money for a Warhawk remake. Socom too. The last Socom game just didn’t do it justice. Folklore could use a remaster or remake as well.
Several other titles I would like to remade with the amount of visual fidelity the current gen has over the past consoles it could help articulate the games that we’ve loved growing up. I would love even some ps2 titles to remade.. Dark Cloud from ps2, Legacy of Kain series but don’t know what will come of it sense it was bought by Embracer group and all there layoffs.

This strategy is exactly what helped ruin Xbox. Sony more than Microsoft know when to let a franchise go and that is important to keep things fresh. The old games are there if you want to play them.

Resistance series and Killzone 2 & 3 remasters/remakes. Make it happen. They will print money.

FF13 is top of this list for me. No matter your opinion on it, it being the only numbered offline FF out of all 16 not to be on new consoles is odd. GTA IV would be great too

The only reason my PS3 is still connected is because of the Resistance, Heavenly Sword, Motorstorm games that I still love to play. I am for remaking or remastering them.

Would absolutely love a remastered collection of the resistance games

Resistance 1-3 and Killzone 1-3 too. Folklore and 3 Dot Heroes are underrated gems.

Why remaster games that ps5 players can't access when you can remaster a 4 year old game like tlou2 that was already patched with ps5 improvements

Would love a remake of the first Resistance game and also Tools of Destruction.

A gem of a gen, imo! So much IP to pluck.

Infamous 1&2 will sadly always be ignored by Sony, not even a ps4 remaster the whole gen, smh but uncharted, horizon, even days gone had next gen upgrades sheesh 🤦🏽 mane even tho Sony is still doing pretty good in the console business they are a lil big headed lol, I never played the resistance series but it would of been dope to see those games updated as well, we fans get lil surprises here n there but things we really are into having and being vocal about gets passed over like a mf 🤣😩

Remasters are a waste of time and developer resources. Real Devs make new games.

God I would live a Killzone or Resistance collection. Really hoping for a new one in either franchise down the line, loved both series.

I’d say new sequels instead.

Got be resistance /prototype as well

How much prefer the killzone universe to that of Horizon's.

Killzone again pls 🥺

Gratz Guerilla, amazing Studio and engine, love Decima!

I was never a huge fan of Killzone, but thoroughly enjoy Horizon. Guerrilla are superb developer and easily up there with the best of the best.

Need a killzone 2 remake from the ground up.

One of the most creative studios out. I hope they keep it up.

Great studio, loved the Killzone series, I wish they would do a remake of the first three games. Horizon is a real step up and truly put Guerrilla Games on the map.

Too bad I never got a chance to play Shellshock: Nam’67 would have loved to try that game out back in the days to see what were their beginnings.

Bring back killzone (maybe in 3rd person perspective)

It would fantastic to see what they could do in Killzone after the lessons learned through Horizon.

Or heck, give us even a short linear FPS from the people who designed Cauldron THETA in the Burning Shores expansion. Even just flying into it (after gliding around and finding its opening amongst the lava and Sunwings perched around it, with other bigger machines just along the path toward it) was an incredible experience.

Great work until now. Keep on this path

Hope they get the opportunity to create a new IP this gen as well.

Forbidden West is awesome, It’s pretty damn big compared to Zero Dawn and it takes a little while to get your skills up and get the equipment you need to fully explore the game (not going to spoil it) but once you do those things and start fighting the big ass machines it really is amazing. Some cool side quests to where you hold the fate of peoples lives by your choice and the cauldrons look amazing. Lots of skills , combos, special moves and add ons for your weapons so you can approach fights many ways. Looking forward to the name game but I wonder how/if Silas will be a part of it or not ? Sad he’s gone.

Killzone games weren’t the best shooters but damn did they look purty!!!!

Killzone 2 remade with the multiplayer

20 years of mid-tier games and they are trending down.

I'm hyped for whenever Horizon 3 releases but Killzone 1 needs a remake BAD and 2 & 3 need remasters. Criminal those games are stuck on PS3.

Hold up

Horizon: Zero Dawn sold 24.3 million
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sold 29.81 million

With the way journalists have been consistently saying BotW overshadowed Horizon you’d think the gap between an entry in a new IP and a longrunning one would be bigger Even if you want to include however much the Wii U version of BotW did, both series still did impressive numbers

I never want to hear that Horizon is an overlooked franchise ever again

i really loved the atmosphere and idea of killzone. i hope they revisit it at some point because it always had so much potential.

Bring Back Killzone please or at least a KZ2 remake with MP.
