I bet is that it will look this good.Still 8 months to go and the game looks fantastic.

it looks like you beat me to posting the actual link.

I will report it to have the original link rather then gamers creed

thanks for the link

how old are you?

go troll somewhere else where people actually care what you think

Another xbot troll trying to bash the ps3 why dont you go and play with marts c#ck or something.

Trying to turn this into another PS3 vs 360 sh!t-talking match?
Fu(k off.
We're talking about a game here and techniques used in that game.

its way too early for them to give us a demo of it, if the game is really coming out in feb08 and its on track then we'll get a demo in dec or jan. but i really cant wait for the beta and the demo its going to be a great game and if they really want to wow people 8 player coop(if it can be done).

You need to look at Gears a year before its release again. It was nothing compared to the final build. By taking reference from what Gears was like at this time in development, it shows just how much improvement really can be made for the final product. If Killzone 2 improves like Gears did in its last year of development, then I have just been under-hyping Killzone 2. Any improvement in Killzone 2 will be surprising for me. I'm so enthused. Btw, you've shifted from "aww man, this looks horrible and w/e" to just "w/e". Seems jealousy is thick in your skin. There's no way out now except denial. Sucks for you.

You don't realize how bad stencil shadows are until you see a direct comparison pic like that. Thanks POG. It really does show how off how realistic the lighting is in Killzone 2! =]

Alpha to Beta.. it's development stages.

There are 8 SPUs, right? Not 7. Btw, all the extra features to be implimented that they mentioned including the improved anti-aliasing will probably be work into the extra SPUs. So much power just waiting to be harnessed. GG's inspiration and insight for Killzone 2 are definately putting a dent into the PS3's capabilities though.

There are 8 SPUs ..you are correct about that but a while back they stated that they had the 8th SPU turned off but in computers and servers that it was going to be used as a Spare SPU if one of the SPU's crashed. So technically speaking for the PS3 there is only 7 SPUs to sue but 1 is being used by the PS3 so honestly that only leaves 6 SPUs to be fully utilized by the gaming companies. That's if I remember all the technical jargin that has been spatted out since the launch of the PS3.

Edit: didn't realize below there was a convo on this oh well ... not messing with the original cause of regardless whether I'm right or wrong it's waht I stated..

I remember hearing that. I just forgot. I hope they utilize each and every one of them as much as possible. Can't wait to see games a few years from now that can max out the power of the PS3.

Not many people know this, but it’s straight from Ninja Theory, the developers of Heavenly Sword. 7 SPUs are available to developers, while the 8th SPU is treated as non-existent. In order to lower the cost of Cell, Sony allowed Cell Processors with 7 working SPUs to be used in the PS3, allowing IBM to sell the ones with 8 working SPUs at a higher price to customers in other fields.

Now, a lot of sites have cited false information stating that the PS3’s OS uses an entire SPU; the truth is that Sony only requires 5% of one SPU’s processing time for the system OS. In fact, the lead programmer at Ninja Theory had to speak out about this over at the B3D forums, stating “I don’t know how we’re running Audio on the 7th SPU if Sony’s locked it entirely for the OS”. A lot of this misconception comes from the fact that the SPUs are numbered starting from Zero when activating them through code. For example: SPUs 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06.

To add on to DJ's post.. I would like to remind everyone that each SPU can run two threads. That means each SPU can process two lines of data at any given time. Just like the 360 can run 2 threads per core, the Ps3 can do the same with the 7 SPUs.

Hope that helps.. xD

we call it Killzone 2...because the people that are making the game call it Killzone 2...

although some fanboys have made some extremely funny and witty names like "GreyZone 2"...oh man thats a good one...and "Borezone 2"...hahaha some people are almost inhumanly comedic...

Killzone 1 was a average game(~7/10 rating) with obvious flaws:

1. poor graphics
2. questionable AI
3. bad physics
4. Linear/repetitive gameplay

<Revised for clarification>

Although average, it was still a good game and fun to play. Most importantly, there was plenty of room to improve KZ - make it a great game.

Many xbots assume that GG/Sony aren't going to fix those obvious problems and CANNOT UNDERSTAND the hype for Killzone 2.

>>> BUT GUESS WHAT? THEY CERTAINLY ARE FIXING THOSE PROBLEMS <<<<

It is reasonable to conclude from the E3 2007 demo/gameplay that:

1 Graphics - sorted
2 AI - sorted.
3 physics - sorted
4. gameplay - standard FPS and yet to be decided.

So 3/4 flaws apparently fixed already. One more to go. Plus useable vehicles are coming.

So yes, we are hyped about this game and justifiably so. It's not a Halo killer - which is my favourite shooter by the way - but it has potential to take down Gears of War.

Only an idiot with no intelligence, commonsense or logic would believe GG won't fix the obvious problems with the original game nor understand the hype.

.... And turn something good into something GREAT.....

Give yourself a pat on your back and a 1000 more points come to think of it. They clearly make you feel better. And you really need them if you honestly can't understand all the hype.

Or are you trying to disguise your fanboyism? Hmmmmmmmm? Now the truth's out.

They have already come very close to the render target. And as shown in that example, they have already achieved the E3 07 target render. Keep in mind, this is only in Alpha stage there are still a lot of cosmetics that need to be put on before it shines.

Those are some really cool wallpapers :D

I'm going to make more later on..

Now its funny how you say that look what happened with HALO they didnt even have to show the real gameplay and every 360 fanboy went crazy so whats your point.

Not just graphics, its all what u can see in a video or ss, you can see how immersive is all, the sound, the light, the interactivity with the level. You can see also, how many love have any aspect in the video, and that make u think they cannot just leave the other aspects of the game just in a mid-level.
I hope this can work to you like an answer, excuse my poor english.

...

But it was only out for windows, not Consoles :)
But Halo 2 and Half-life 2 we're about the best shooters out there
and for Halo 2( which everyone seems to be calling a screw uo nowadays)
to even be Compaired with Halflife 2 should be an achivement on it self...

Halo2 single player was lack luster and wasn't anything special..If you think it was awsome, please explain I would like to hear what was great about it..Halo2 single player was bad, and the only thing that saved it was the multiplayer, because the AI was terrible you can walk up to an elite and just punch and they would just stay in the same spot and wouldn't move...I guess that's great AI for xbots, but not for real gamers...You can say what ever you want but in the end halo is nothing but a multiplayer game and nothing epic about it.

I think Microsoft has a Recovery Department for fanboys like you..

Give it a try.. If that doesn't help, I recommend 1 hour of PS3 interaction and that should get the crap out of your head.. :)

You always seem to leave a comments for me every Grayzone article, which means your ether hate me or what I say has truth so it hurts and you need to spin. Which is it? You see I think it's the "spin" part because we all have eyes and for the most part those see in color not in black and white. ZING! Sony forgot to implant the color chip in you Sony droids heads, now your running around in the "real" world seeing everything like an old black and white TV.

(THIS IS WHAT YOU SEE) Look at the beautiful smoke! (we have 5 differant shades of grey smoke) Look at the fire! (sourrounded by GREY!) Look at the reflection off that glass! (the glass is grey, the reflection of the ground is grey, the walls are grey and the glass reflecting the image of a slodier wearing you guessed it "GREY") LOOK AT THOSE PSYSICS! well they are nice (cell) but look those chunks flying to the left they are "grey" (memory) and those chunks that fell on the ground "grey" Let me fire my grey weapon around this grey wall and shoot my grey bullets at the grey enemies and throw my grey grenade at that grey... somthing over there, and Poof! OMFG!!! did you see that? there was a puff of yellow and orange where that grenade was. ahhhhhh sh!t it's gone, back to the grey.

.

it's not going to help much.
People like him are too used to the 360's Crayola color scheme to appreciate the technical achievements behind this.
I'll bet they think real life is getting too "colorless" too.

Yeah, which is funny seeing how much recognition Gears got for bland colors. It's really a shame all those idiotic Xbots are gonna miss this masterpiece of a game. Fanboys disgust me.

edit:What the hell are you talking about Jason xg1"it's called "forced" because you ran out of resources"

This game is only utilizing very few of the PS3's potential yet, and the color choice was their personal option. If you had read that link like I intended, there is a reference to the Killzone Pre-E3 party, where GG turned off the filter and post-processing, and it looked vivid and bright outside. Along with the fact that the level shown is under a damn wickid storm the Helghast concocted is good reason for dark "gray" environs.

you know nothing about this game do you?

.
I've watch the HD versions of those trailers several times, often in slow motion or frame by frame. If you've never done this, I'd suggest it. Its amazing what you pick up. See that shot with the bright purple? Incredible colour comes off the muzzle flash and lights the whole room apropriately throwing shadows up behind everything. I guess say, a chimp wouldn't be impressed by this because it wouldn't know what it was looking at, but for a gamers with even the most rudimentary understanding of graphics its hard to not be left breathless.

Frame by frame really highlights the bullet hit reactions too. Shoot someone in the guts and he will double forward. 2nd shot hits the right shoulder and he'll straighten back up and twist right. 3rd it the left arm and he'll twist that way while his other hand reaches up to hold the wound. All of this happens in a second or too and its totally non scripted, totally dynamic and dependant on where he gets hit.

And dont mind Jason too much. He just has a little sand in his vagina because Xbox is nearly 2 years old and still doesn't have a real next gen game yet.

So how about you taking your sorry self and whimper somewhere else.
We're actually having fun in here and you don't like that, we know.
Now, please leave.

it's red and nearly forms a circle. q:

ZING !!!
